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

Chapter 342: The Illogical System Lady In the last two days of July, Sade International High School welcomed its final exams. For most classes, these exams were just another routine end-of-term assessment. However, for Class 212, it was not the same. Besides being a part of a bet, this marked the first time in a long while that Class 212 earnestly approached their exams. The students were eager to know how much they had improved, their eyes filled with determination. The night before the exam, Su Qi saw the resolve in everyone's eyes and chose not to say much. She merely reminded the students of Class 212 not to burden themselves too much, encouraging them to approach each question carefully and thoroughly, avoiding carelessness. The subjects for the second-year high school exams at Sade International were somewhat different from the standard tests. The three science subjects weren't consolidated but tested separately, similar to the arts subjects. The exams started at 8:00 AM. Though Su Qi was a temporary instructor at Sade International High School, she was also given a position as an invigilator this time. Because the exams began at 8 AM, Su Qi took the rare opportunity to sleep in a bit, cuddling her beloved plush pillow. Xiao Xiaoxiao quietly woke up at 6 AM, having developed the habit of rising early for the chance to enjoy breakfast with Senior Sister Su. After sneaking in a few kisses, her doll-like face radiated contentment. Recently, inspired by the enlightenment book "The 36 Stratagems of Love," she read that mutual affection and reciprocated gestures of love were among the most beautiful things in the world. Although Xiao Xiaoxiao hadn’t experienced romance herself, she had watched enough TV dramas to know about the famous 'kiss' scenes. Imagining herself and Senior Sister Su in such a passionate scenario, despite feeling shy, she couldn’t help but harbor a bit of hopeful anticipation. After all, who wouldn't want their feelings reciprocated by their crush? However, for the moment, Xiao Xiaoxiao decided to place these thoughts on hold. If she could secure a spot in the university by recommendation, she would have more time with Senior Sister Su and even knew some of her little secrets. Xiao Xiaoxiao believed that someday she would definitely experience such wonderful feelings. At 7:50 AM, Teacher Su, dressed in a stylish suit, entered Class 107 with a hefty guidebook on stock trading. Since the first-year students were already on holiday, the second and third-year students had ample space, occupying the first-year classrooms, making the exam arrangements seamless. Su Qi didn't find any Class 212 students here because her duty was to invigilate a third-year class. The third-year students, usually busy and rushed, had heard rumors about a beautiful substitute teacher in second year, but had never seen Su Qi. As she entered, carrying the large book, all eyes were captivated. It wasn't just the students; even the other invigilating teacher paused for a second upon seeing her in her chic attire, surprised by her youthful appearance and striking looks. As the temporary class supervisor, Su Qi naturally gave the podium position to the other teacher, then found a seat next to a girl at the back. Once the exam started, she dived into her stock trading manual. After all, when school was in session, she couldn't read as efficiently at home. Incidentally, Su Qi’s stock trading skills had already improved to a 74% proficiency, even surpassing Wang Yun Jie's 72%, and she was nearing the end of this particular manual. Su Qi estimated that upon finishing it, her proficiency would reach 75%. She was somewhat eager for the final four manuals, having learned from the system lady that mastering them would elevate her proficiency to 92%. Recently, Su Qi noticed that besides the remarkable improvement from the first manual, the subsequent ones only offered 3-4 percent increases. She couldn't help but wonder how the last four books would boost her skills by 17 percentage points. As Su Qi focused on her reading, many of the students also benefited from a rare treat, concentrating even more during the language exam, realizing there was no need to cheat. For the entire two hours, Su Qi dedicated herself to reading. The next subject was English, and Su Qi, once again the invigilator, moved to the 307 class. She didn’t spot any Class 212 students here either. The exam paper, however, was indeed for the second year. Su Qi, curious about the difficulty of the test, took a walk around the room after collecting the exam sheets. She found the difficulty quite manageable and even simple, which set her at ease. Simplicity favored her students from Class 212, as it meant they could guess more effectively. Because it was the English exam, after some time passed, Su Qi took her eyes off the stock trading manual to observe her surroundings. To her surprise, she noticed something peculiar. Two students seemed suspiciously stealthy. The one at the back kept trying to look ahead, while the student in front accommodated by positioning their paper within view. However, the expression on the front student’s face was more of smug amusement than anxiety. Su Qi watched these antics unfold, realizing how naïve she and her classmates had been back when they tried to cheat in exams. Now in the role of an invigilator, she found it all rather amusing. Instead of directly confronting the two cheating students, Su Qi approached discreetly, observing the other students, eventually making her way towards them. Without a word, she calmly picked up the front student’s exam paper to examine it. Thanks to her frequent practice in setting exam questions recently, Su Qi unexpectedly realized that this cloze test was one she had once created. While she didn’t know all the answers to the listening section, a glance at the multiple-choice revealed that the front student had meticulously avoided all the correct answers. Noting the almost identical answer sheets of the pair, Su Qi chuckled internally but chose not to expose them. It was a classic case of “one willing to hit, another willing to take the hit.” She felt a bit sorry for the student behind. Probably, even if he had randomly chosen all C’s, his score could have been better than thisly stressful cross-examination. Considering it a lesson learned, Su Qi moved on. After the English test, Su Qi invigilated four more subject exams, discovering through these duties that the exams were quite straightforward. Because they seemed easier, Class 212 had practiced extensively, reviewing many of the exam topics with her beforehand. By 4 PM on July 31st, with the ring of the bell, the final chemistry exam concluded smoothly, marking the end of the term exams at Sade International High School. Simultaneously, Su Qi heard the familiar voice of the system lady: "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task—Class Supervisor Chain Mission. Would you like to receive your rewards now?" Hearing the system lady’s announcement, Su Qi was momentarily stunned. The exams weren’t graded yet, so how could the task be considered complete? This was quite unscientific!
