315 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

# Chapter 315: Class 212, A Genuine Transformation is Underway The physics teacher yesterday noticed something strange about Class 212 during lessons. On Friday, the class already displayed a strong learning atmosphere. But yesterday, the zeal for learning was even more pronounced. The inquisitive looks on the students' faces almost fooled the teacher into believing it was the elite class. One peculiar point yesterday was when, while delivering the lecture, the physics teacher walked towards "Teacher Su" in the first row. The strangeness emanated from Teacher Su. Yesterday, she wasn't engrossed in that oversized book she often kept. Instead, she had countless sets of test papers in front of her. What puzzled the physics teacher more was that she wasn't solving the papers but was instead marking the questions with serial numbers. Her speed was astonishing as she flipped through the pages. If not for the pen in her hand making notes, the physics teacher might have thought Teacher Su was merely flipping out of boredom. But what was she doing? Su Qi was, in fact, following a guide for "Turning Academic Failures into Success" and selecting questions for Class 212. The numbers corresponded to the complexity and potential occurrence of the questions. From early morning until this sixth period, Su Qi had filtered several subjects’ mock exams, selecting many questions of appropriate difficulty for the students. The challenges she chose started from simple beginner levels, gradually increasing to difficult levels, and finally to boss-level questions. Just as the book suggested, having students feel like they're leveling up through challenges. Otherwise, even if Class 212 had a great study vibe, if a motivated newbie encounters a major challenge right out the gate, they might lose their enthusiasm in just three days! Soon, Class 212 was about to have Su Qi's English lesson. At this moment, the class was experiencing a mix of pain and joy. Joy, because they got to see Teacher Su up close; pain, because English as a subject was inherently challenging. Yet yesterday’s lesson was different. Teacher Su didn’t have them open their textbooks but handed each student a freshly printed test paper instead. These papers weren’t store-bought sets but freshly printed ones, without any author’s name, very clean, and contained fewer questions than a typical exam. The students of Class 212 noticed there were just two cloze tests. Everyone remarked it was the first time they’d seen a test paper with so few questions. But the fewer questions meant they didn’t feel that immediate dread or resistance that would typically make them not want to attempt it. Then they heard Teacher Su say, "For this class, we won't cover the textbook. Instead, let's tackle some English questions." As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Tian Ci, who had always struggled with English, raised his hand, admitting with a heavy heart, "Teacher Su, we're really not good at English!" Hearing Zhao Tian Ci’s words, Su Qi wasn’t surprised. Despite how attentive the students were recently, she could still see the profound confusion in their eyes. But the current Su Qi was different from the prior days; she had read the "Guide to Academic Reversal" and had strategies for tackling English. Faced with the current situation, she also had a plan. Adopting a mysterious tone, Su Qi softly said, "In that case, Teacher must reveal a secret technique today. Let me secretly teach you all how to 'guess' the answers." Then she directed the students' attention to the test paper. The students found Teacher Su's mischievous approach combined with the word "guess" rather intriguing. Even Zhao Tian Ci, who had no feelings towards English, was drawn in by Su Qi’s words, looking at the English paper. Thus, Su Qi led the students of Class 212 in a step-by-step guessing session. The two cloze tests she chose were quite deliberate. In usual cloze tests, unfamiliar words make up about 20%. The papers Su Qi chose had a similar composition. However, there was a large repetition of vocabularies. Consequently, making the questions easier to guess. "Amy mentioned something related to David. We don’t know this word, so let’s leave it blank. Hmm, this one, too; we don’t recognize it, let’s skip that as well. Oh, but this one seems like we can guess it, right?" Su Qi proceeded with super brief translations while observing how the students of Class 212 responded. "Select c," she advised. Under her guidance, the class found that even without knowing many words, they could guess four blanks correctly using some clues. Then, Su Qi picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the new vocabulary on the blackboard, suggesting, "Everyone can refer to these words and try again, see how many more blanks you can fill." Quickly, the students used Su Qi’s guessing method and managed to deduce six more correct answers from the vocabulary on the board. Seeing the high accuracy, Su Qi remarked, "You see, with patience, we can figure out four questions. The words on the blackboard are those appearing in your textbook, slightly familiar with a few, perhaps we get three right answers. Out of 20 questions, that makes 7 correct answers. If we select c for the remaining ones, statistically, we might get 3 more right. See, 10 questions answered correctly isn't that tough, right?" Listening to Teacher Su's logic, the students of Class 212 surprised themselves, realizing it wasn't as hard as assumed. Witnessing their amazed reactions, Su Qi figured she should add more fuel to the fire. She added a few more English words on the board and suggested, "Now, everyone try the next question; see what you can guess this time." Because of the previous guessing exercise, no one in Class 212 voiced doubts. This answer-guessing style was much like playing a detective game—it was quite amusing. Seeing the students engrossed in their cloze tests, Su Qi felt a sense of satisfaction. For the fifth question, she intentionally picked an easier one, which also helped build their confidence gradually, as games should increase in difficulty. Unlike her anxiety from the prior days of substituting, Su Qi, with her newfound method, found teaching rather enjoyable. Moreover, with English—a subject sometimes dry—students were gradually warming up to it. Su Qi reasoned that when it came to the more lively logical aspects of physics, the students of Class 212 might even enjoy it more. The class went a few minutes over time, and when the bell rang, Su Qi considered dismissing them promptly. After all, all evening study sessions were hers now; she could simply cover missed lessons then. Previously, Su Qi despised teachers who dragged lessons beyond time. Yet ironically, the students of Class 212 were compelling her to become such a teacher. Refusing to let her leave the platform until the lesson was complete made Su Qi chuckle but also find the 212 students quite endearing. Su Wei Yi, serving as the principal of this school, was well-informed about each class. Recently, feedback about Class 212 was lighting up the high school teaching groups—this was no secret, and all teachers could see it was the influence of "Teacher Su." Today, Su Wei Yi was also eager to see how his sister was steering the students of Class 212. Especially since there were two more classes like Class 212 in their school! Observing Su Qi teach an entire lesson, and eventually seeing the excitement among the students that even led Su Qi to extend the class, left Su Wei Yi shocked at his sister’s prowess. He had a feeling this time Class 212 was truly headed for transformation!
