Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Nobody Wants Her
“Alright, we’re moving into a new phase of training, but I’ve established a new rule for everyone,” Chen Shuo began. “From now on, we’ll be assessing everyone in a group competition format. The remaining forty-eight students will be divided into eight groups, with six people per group. Everyone can choose their group members. Besides attending classes, you can also discuss and study within your group. In a week, we’ll have the second exam, and the three groups with the lowest scores will be eliminated.” As soon as Chen Shuo finished speaking, the classroom erupted into a frenzy.
Xu Siyan turned around from the front row, looked at Shen Zhaozhao and said, “Shen Zhaozhao, let’s be in a group together?” Then he looked towards Sheng Chuyi beside her, “Sheng Chuyi, how about you join our group as well?”
Xu Siyan stayed as well; he scored 92 on the last exam, indicating the money his parents spent on his training wasn’t wasted.
“I’d rather not, I’m afraid I’ll drag you down,” Shen Zhaozhao immediately declined.
She had no interest in forming a team; she just wanted to be eliminated and go home quickly.
But the new rule required everyone to participate in the exam as part of a team.
That meant, if she performed poorly, not only would she have to leave, but the rest of her group would too.
What a terrible rule.
She felt sure that Chen Shuo did it on purpose.
Did it to target her specifically.
She decided to team up with those who finished last in the previous exam so she wouldn’t have to worry about holding anyone back.
However, her reputation at the tutorial school was so bad that no one wanted to be in her group.
After all, no one but her wanted to be eliminated.

“Shen Zhaozhao, you should join our group! Don’t worry, we will help you,” Xu Siyan said, comforting her after seeing other groups reject her and inviting her again to join their team.
Shen Zhaozhao didn’t want to harm others, but apart from Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan, nobody else wanted her.
Others did want to team up with Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan, but they hesitated upon seeing Shen Zhaozhao in the group.
In the end, Shen Zhaozhao, Sheng Chuyi, Xu Siyan, Xia Miao, and two other girls from their dormitory formed a group of six.
Classes continued as before, with the addition of time for group discussions.
Among the six of them, Sheng Chuyi firmly held the top spot, and Xu Siyan was also pretty good, but the other few girls were a bit lacking.
Especially Shen Zhaozhao and Xia Miao, whose scores in the last exam were at the bottom of the remaining forty-eight people.
They were considered undesirable by others.
Once the teams were set, Xu Siyan turned to Sheng Chuyi and said, “Chuyi, you’re the best among us, why don’t you go over some problems with everyone tonight?” He was basically asking him to give the group extra tutoring.
With their current team scores for the exam in a week, the odds were high that they’d be eliminated.
The other three girls’ eyes lit up when they heard this, all staring at Sheng Chuyi.
They knew their academic performance at the training camp was mediocre, and with their current scores, it would be difficult to stay without bringing down their teammates.
But they still wanted to try their best.
Especially being on a team with the top student gave them hope.
Sheng Chuyi, however, glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and noticed the girl’s head nodding little by little, looking as if she was about to fall asleep.
Xia Miao, seeing this, hurriedly tugged at her and said apologetically to Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan, “I’m sorry, it’s our fault for teaming up with you that you might also get eliminated.” Otherwise, they would surely pass the assessment in a week with their scores.
“But don’t worry, we will definitely work hard,” she promised.
The other two girls also nodded in agreement, and then they all looked towards Shen Zhaozhao again.
Shen Zhaozhao: “Mhm, mhm, mhm!”
