Chapter 72 Part 1
Once everyone learned that there would be a training camp during the summer vacation, they were all devastated except for Zhang Man and Li Wei.
For hard-working high school students, what was their relief that allowed them to go through one boring and high-pressure semester after another? It’s their winter and summer vacation! The two-month summer vacation was cut off by two weeks.
It was especially true for the foolish men in the competition class. Chen Jun, who made his anger known, went to Liu Zhijun’s office to protest and reason with him. He attempted to skip class, but was escorted back by Liu Zhijun from the Internet cafe next to the school.
For some of them who were hard-headed, the school took some extra measures. They called their parents to inform them of the importance of the summer training camp, and how the competition prize was a recommendation for college.
So, under the pressure of the school and parents, everyone stopped resisting and started their training life.
Before they knew it, two weeks passed during the summer training camp in the small black room.
At half past five in the afternoon, the bell rang for the end of class. It was dark outside the window. Frequent torrential rains occurred during mid-July. It was mixed with roaring thunder, and rained on the city mercilessly and washed away the intense heat brought about by the scorching sun from the past few days.
During the loud thunder, there were occasional flashes of extremely bright lightning, illuminating the dark sky like it was a sunny day.
In the entire building, there were a few teachers in the office on duty, and the small black room of the physics competition class was lit.
After Cao Zhixue finished a question, he let out a sigh of relief. “F***, we should have stayed home in this damn weather and be lazy. Once the thunderstorms happen, who knows if we will encounter ghosts on the way home later.”
Deng Nian rolled his eyes. “What ghosts? Please don’t tell anyone that you are studying physics.”
“Tch, science can only prove the existence of some things, but not the non-existence of other things. Can you prove that there are no ghosts in this world? Since you can’t prove it, you can’t say it doesn’t exist.”
“I’m too lazy to tell you why you’re wrong…”
“How am I wrong? Let me tell you, I saw on the news a few days ago that some supernatural phenomena appeared in an old abandoned house in England. During the thunderstorms, the neighbors could always see a female ghost in white clothes appear in the house…”
They started their usual quarrel again. Chen Jun wanted to join in, but when he turned his head, Qi Lele was pale with fright, and had dropped the pen in her hand.
Zhang Man also saw, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. She glared at the two fools who were talking more and more outrageous things.
Qi Lele was timid. She was afraid of thunder, but she overcame this fear to brush up on the practice questions. Then those two idiots started talking about ghost stories again.
The fear in the back of her heart exploded. Her whole body began to tremble, and her face turned pale. She was terrified.
“Okay, you two shut up, it’s annoying.”
After he said that, Chen Jun took out his cell phone and earphones from his bag. He handed them to Qi Lele after untangling it, and motioned her to put on the earphones.
Zhang Man glanced at it. Mozart’s “Turkish March” was playing on the phone. Although this guy was usually annoying and unreliable, he was attentive during the important moments.
Qi Lele was surprised. She nodded gratefully, took the phone, and put on the earphones. The sound insulation from the earphones is very good. With the extremely cheerful and lively piano music, it completely blocked the continuous thunder outside the window.
Generally speaking, the learning atmosphere in the small black room was fairly strong these days.
Seventeen-year-old boys, no matter how good they were, were still childish. They were very playful, and their self-control was not too strong.
At this moment, studying always required the right atmosphere.
Fortunately, Zhang Man took the lead and became an example of diligence for the class. She had been working very hard recently, studying from dawn to dusk every day. It made the students around her in the classroom overwhelmed.
She was in a hurry.
Some time ago, she learned electromagnetism, and she was not as adept on the mechanics part.
After a few quizzes, it showed that her grades in the competition class were not bad. However, she knew that there was still a certain gap between her and the national medal.
Although the provincial first prize was like winning gold, it could only guarantee enrollment for general 985 or C9 universities, such as admission to Zhejiang University. However, it had no effect on admission to Q or B University.
However, entering the finals and winning a national medal was different. The national top 50 in the finals will be awarded gold medals, and will be selected into the national training team. They would be eligible for recommendations to Q or B University.
Although silver and bronze medal winners were not eligible for recommendations, they could take the admission exams for these places, and have a high probability of receiving admission.
She was absolutely unwilling to let that happen.
She had a plan in mind. September was the preliminaries, so it would not be a problem for her. Immediately afterwards, the semi-finals was in October. Although the difficulty would increase, she had a certain confidence in her ability.
However, after the semi-finals, each province selected students who passed the semi-finals to enter the provincial team to participate in the national finals in November. Only ten people from their province participated in the national finals last year.
Compared to the semi-finals and preliminaries, the difficulty of the finals did not increase linearly, but exponentially.
The physics competition was all about talent. And these talented people were gifted in physics, which saved them a lot of effort in studying.
For example, Li Wei, and even Chen Jun and Xu Haosi.
But Zhang Man was different.
