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

Home / I Refuse to Become the Heroine Due to the System I Refuse to Become the Heroine! - Chapter 346: The End of a Teaching Career (3rd Update) Under the stern presence of the disciplinary director, the students of class 212 quickly settled down once more. Each of them quietly returned to their seats. This time, the director stood firmly at the doorway as a precaution against another disruption, especially since the principal had repeatedly emphasized that class 212 was being broadcasted live and nothing chaotic should occur. Su Qi watched the director linger at the door. As a young, temporary class teacher, she felt it was inappropriate to say anything. Moreover, the presence of the director helped maintain order, allowing Su Qi to proceed smoothly to the next part of her plan. After a moment of contemplation, Teacher Su gently knocked on the lectern, drawing the students’ attention back to her. As she felt the spotlight on her once again, Su Qi began to speak slowly: “In this exam, our class has shown unprecedented improvement. But that's not the only good news.” She paused, then turned her gaze to her small desk at the top left corner. Following Su Qi’s line of sight, all the students in class 212, including the disciplinary director, looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao. Feeling shy, Xiao Xiaoxiao did her classic ostrich act of hiding her head. Su Qi noticed that even her delicate little earlobes were flushed, and her small body trembled slightly. Su Qi stepped off the podium, gently patting Xiao Xiaoxiao’s head, and announced, “This time, Xiao Xiaoxiao from our class scored 730 points, achieving the top rank in the entire grade!” The classroom fell into a brief silence upon hearing this. They knew Xiao Xiaoxiao scored high, but having someone from their class rank first was simply unbelievable for many students. It seemed surreal, especially since they were from class 212! However, the reality soon sank in for many of them. They remembered Xiao Xiaoxiao had transferred into their class from ‘Class 2’ specifically at the beginning of the second half of last year. They just hadn’t expected this seemingly frail girl to achieve so much. It was unclear who started clapping first, but the applause gradually grew louder. Listening to her peers’ applause, Xiao Xiaoxiao felt both the desire to look up and a twinge of fear. Her expression reminded Su Qi of herself at that age—expectant yet timid, like a little hedgehog always hiding under its protective spines, afraid of getting hurt. Tenderly, Su Qi helped the shy girl stand up and gently reassured her, “Look up at everyone. They are all congratulating you. With Su Qi here, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Hearing Su Qi’s words, Xiao Xiaoxiao slowly opened her tightly shut eyes and cautiously turned to face everyone. When she saw the excited faces of her peers, without any disdain or exclusion in their eyes, the tension on her flushed cheeks began to subside. She softly said, “Thank... thank you all for your encouragement.” Her voice was so soft that even Su Qi, standing next to her, didn’t quite catch what she said. Considering this, Su Qi motioned for silence and said, “Everyone, please quiet down. I know you’re all curious about how Xiaoxiao managed to improve so rapidly, so let’s invite Xiaoxiao to share her experience with us. How about that?” Su Qi’s suggestion piqued everyone’s interest. It wasn’t just the 212 classmates who were curious; even the director and the viewers watching the livestream wanted to know how this transformation came about. There was a reason behind Su Qi’s approach. Because Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to be directly admitted to Su University, an impressive academic record was necessary for that consideration. But to get them to initiate contact with such a good candidate, there was a strategy. Su Qi had consulted her partner Zi Jin. Despite the process being complicated, and facing threats from Zi Jin against intervening (which puzzled Su Qi because she was not a "Lolicon"), she finally learned the strategy. The solution was simple: let Xiao Xiaoxiao make the first move by expressing interest in Su University during the live broadcast. A simple statement like, “I want to attend Su University,” would suffice. Given the prestige of being the top of Saide International High School’s grade, surely Su University’s leadership would take notice before college entrance exams concluded, considering Xiao Xiaoxiao’s rising value. With a timid grip, Xiao Xiaoxiao held onto Su Qi’s slender arm. Su Qi felt the nervousness in the young girl, evident as even her arm began to ache slightly. Nevertheless, given the girl’s lack of strength and absence of nails, Su Qi didn’t pull her arm away, offering a sense of security instead. Xiao Xiaoxiao took several deep breaths, then looked up. Seeing the genuine expressions in her classmates’ eyes, she relaxed a little and said, “It’s because... Su... Su teacher told me that if I got into the top ten in the grade, I could enroll in Su University and become Su... Su senior’s junior. So I just tried a bit…” Her words stunned everyone into silence, especially the disciplinary director. He had expected a journey full of trials and new paths, only to hear that. Simply trying a bit resulted in first place throughout the grade?! Watching the director’s exaggerated expression, particularly his mouth agape enough to fit an egg, Su Qi felt an itch to sketch a humorous caricature where the character’s chin hit the floor. At that moment, a female student raised her hand. As the director prepared for a question, the student asked, “Su teacher, why didn’t you share this important information with us? I want to attend Su University too.” “Me too, I want to be Su teacher’s junior as well.” Suddenly, the room was in chaos again. But this time, the director forgot to intervene, bemused by the quirky mindset of class 212. Fortunately, the clock struck five, and the dismissal bell rang, alleviating any discipline concerns. As the bell resonated, several mothers swiftly entered the classroom to enthusiastically shake hands with Su Qi. Watching the livestream all day, they were grateful for Su Qi’s efforts, seeing the improved scores of their children on each subject. Before evening had settled, parents were already hovering at the classroom door, eager for the upcoming parent-teacher meeting. Su Qi was taken aback by the parents’ enthusiasm. She hurriedly deflected the praise, attributing the improvements to the students’ own hard work in class 212. This parent-teacher meeting extended into the late night, finishing around ten, and was much livelier than Su Qi's first meeting when she had just taken over as class teacher. Parents’ smiles persisted throughout the event; some even tried matchmaking during the meeting, much to Su Qi’s amusement, thinking mothers seemed to always play the matchmaker role. Contrasting the parents' joy were the mixed emotions among the students of class 212. From initial pride, as the meeting neared its end, feelings of reluctance surfaced, and eventually, some girls started crying. Su Qi, prepared for such reactions, concluded with a heartening farewell: “To all my junior brothers and sisters of class 212, Senior Su will be waiting for you at Su University tomorrow. Keep up the effort and be sure to get in!” Her words eased their sorrow somewhat. Before parting ways, Su Qi presented each student with a USB drive containing highlights from the month-long livestream and a Q-version illustration she had drawn of class 212, serving as a farewell gift. At 11 p.m., as Su Qi faced the now-empty classroom with only Xiao Xiaoxiao by her side, she started to reminisce about her month in teaching. Suddenly, she realized something didn’t feel quite right.
