Chapter 399: Chapter 399 News Spread Out

If everything goes well, and she successfully takes the accelerated exam the day after tomorrow, then just one more year and she’ll be a high school student!

It’s just that she felt she might struggle during that middle school year, since she still considered middle schoolers to be just kids in her eyes!

"Chiang Xiao!" Someone was running up from behind and calling her name.

Chiang Xiao turned around and saw Sun Xiaoxing.

"What’s up?"

"I heard you’re skipping grades and not attending the first year of middle school?" Sun Xiaoxing was out of breath from running.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback; she thought Teacher Song had kept this secret for her, so how had it gotten out?

"Who told you that?"

Sun Xiaoxing said, "The whole school, teachers and students alike, are talking about it; I don’t even know who said it first. So, it wasn’t you who let it slip?"

"No," Chiang Xiao said and then turned to leave.

She didn’t care much whether the news had spread or not since it wasn’t a big secret anyway.

However, she hadn’t anticipated that in Peace Town, this was already sensational news.

A grade six primary student skipping to the third year of middle school? Spreading such news would be enough to make jaws drop. The subjects taught in middle school, could a primary student handle them? Skipping the foundation laid in the first year and jumping straight into the graduation class?

You’ve got to be kidding!

Not just Siyang Village Primary School, but schools from other villages also somehow got wind of the news and suddenly, the educational circuit of Peace Town was abuzz.

Quite a few people were looking forward to Chiang Xiao’s performance.

If she really passed, Peace Town would have made its mark on the educational map, boasting a prodigy!

But there were also many who scoffed at her, looking down on Chiang Xiao’s actions, thinking this kid was just arrogant. Yes, she had been the top student every year throughout her six years of elementary school, but after all, it was in a backwards mountain village. What’s there to be proud of for outperforming those children?

Siyang Village was such a poor, backward hollow. Perhaps even the teachers were mediocre at best, teaching nothing more than superficial knowledge.

With this superficial knowledge, she ranked first, and now she’s so arrogant that she wants to skip to the second year of middle school?

Each school was in an uproar; this finals season, almost everyone was discussing Chiang Xiao.

The students of the first and second years at the town middle school were also shocked.

Even their headteachers had uttered a word: Study hard and bring out your best results! You don’t want to score lower than a sixth-grader when the time comes, do you?

Some students took this to heart and were studying for their lives, but others remained indifferent.

The first-year middle schoolers.

"Pretty arrogant, and if she doesn’t pass and comes back to our first year, how mortifying that will be!"

"Exactly, I find the first-year curriculum hard enough as it is; she hasn’t studied it, how is she going to take the exams?"

The second-year middle schoolers.

"Some little girl wants to be classmates with us?"

"Heh, just wait until she can’t pass the exam, then she’ll be crying!"

"I heard she’s a really pretty girl!"

"Really? Then we definitely have to check her out!"

"Oh come on, no matter how pretty, would you guys dare to start dating early?"

The principal of the town middle school was cornered by Song Tianyang in his office before the exam.

"Uncle, how did this news get out?"

For the past couple of days, Song Tianyang had also heard the rumors. In their village, it wasn’t just the school; the entire village was abuzz. He was somewhat worried that Chiang Xiao would be affected and wouldn’t perform well the next day.

The principal of the town middle school was named Chu Aiguo. He was lean, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a very stern person.

But he truly valued and cherished talent, and as for Chiang Xiao, this unexpectedly ambitious student who wanted to skip two grades, he placed great importance on her.
