“Am I not dead? How did I get here?” Li Chengqian gazed around the familiar classroom in a daze. The situation was beyond his comprehension.
His eyes landed on the words scrawled across the blackboard.
“Grade 12, Class 5!”
“100 days left until the college entrance examination!”
A jolt of clarity ran through Li Chengqian as he took in his surroundings. Trembling with overwhelming excitement, he realized the truth.
“This is Tianyi High School, Grade 12, Class 5! Just 100 days before the college entrance examination!”
“I’m not dead! I’ve been given a second chance at life!”
To confirm this wasn't some elaborate dream, Li Chengqian dug his own fingers into his thigh.
A sharp pang of pain caused him to wince, but it was quickly overshadowed by elation.
“I’ve been reborn! I’ve truly been reborn!”
“This is wonderful!”
As tears streamed down his face, Li Chengqian’s gaze fixated on the stark announcement on the blackboard: 100 days remaining until the crucial college entrance examination.
“In my past life, my failure to pass the college entrance examination led my parents to a tragic traffic accident while arranging my enrollment for the repeat year!”
His parents, normally quite strict, had shown only a flicker of disappointment when he failed. Instead of reprimanding him, they offered words of comfort.
They then spared no effort in securing his admission to the top high school for another attempt.
A decade had passed, yet the memory of the sadness in his parents’ eyes remained vivid for Li Chengqian.
The unfortunate accident was a burden he carried, a regret that haunted him daily.
“Since I have this chance to relive my life, I must not allow the tragedies of my past to repeat. I am resolved to study diligently and rewrite my destiny.” Li Chengqian’s eyes blazed with newfound determination.
Suddenly, a piece of chalk flew from the front of the classroom, striking Li Chengqian squarely on the head.
“Li Chengqian, you only managed 28 marks in English this term, and you still have the audacity to daydream!” Teacher Wang Jianjia’s stern voice echoed from the podium. Disappointment was etched on her face.
The classroom erupted in a chorus of student laughter.
“Pay attention! If I catch you slacking off again, you’ll face my wrath!”
Noticing Li Chengqian standing frozen, looking utterly lost, Wang Jianjia’s stern demeanor softened. Her tone grew gentler. “Li Chengqian, please sit down. There are still 100 days until the college entrance examination. It’s not too late. Have faith in yourself, don’t give up!”
“Teacher, I won’t give up. I promise to dedicate myself to my studies. I will definitely get into university,” Li Chengqian finally regained his composure, his voice resonating with solemn conviction.
He was determined to rectify the grievous mistakes of his previous existence. The college entrance examination was merely the first milestone on this new path.
In his former life, the college entrance examination had marked the beginning of his descent into despair. This time, he was set on altering that narrative completely.
Wang Jianjia regarded Li Chengqian with surprise, a thought crossing her mind, “Had Li Chengqian possessed this level of resolve back in his first year of high school, perhaps he truly could have succeeded. It’s truly unfortunate that he’s only seeing things clearly now.
“Still, it’s a positive sign that you’ve woken up now. As long as you are truly committed, even if you don’t succeed this year, you might achieve your goal next year.”
“Pfft!” At that precise moment, a sneering sound emanated from Liu Daqiang, another student in the class.
All eyes shifted towards Liu Daqiang, drawn by his derisive outburst.
“Liu Daqiang, what are you laughing at? That’s incredibly disrespectful!” Wang Jianjia chided, her gaze sharpening as she fixed on him.
Liu Daqiang hailed from an exceptionally affluent background. His conduct in school was consistently poor, marked by frequent disruptions and bullying; he was a notorious troublemaker.
Wang Jianjia could clearly discern the contempt and mockery embedded in Liu Daqiang’s laughter. She understood implicitly why he found the situation amusing.
Liu Daqiang was clearly mocking Li Chengqian’s bold claim of gaining university admission despite his abysmal academic performance.
Liu Daqiang lowered his head, a smug grin playing on his lips.
Li Chengqian getting into university? What a ludicrous notion! In the most recent mock examination, Li Chengqian had only managed a paltry 280 out of a possible 750 marks!
If Li Chengqian could somehow get into any university, then Liu Daqiang declared he could effortlessly get into an elite institution!
“Alright, let’s resume the lesson.”
Despite hearing Liu Daqiang’s mocking laughter, Li Chengqian remained unfazed.
Considering his current academic standing and past study habits, he acknowledged that such ridicule was entirely justified.
“Regardless of what anyone says, words are cheap. The only thing that truly speaks volumes is results!”
He understood that the only way to alter people’s perceptions of him was by demonstrating tangible improvement in his grades.
If he was to truly change the course of his previous life, his journey had to commence with conquering the college entrance examination.
His only path to a better future was through university.
Li Chengqian exerted effort to compose himself, focusing intently on the teacher’s instruction.
However, Li Chengqian’s brow soon knitted together in frustration as he realized the lecture was entirely incomprehensible!
Teacher Wang Jianjia’s English delivery was as foreign to him as ancient Greek; not a single word registered.
“I’ve been away from it for too long. I’ve practically forgotten all my English,” he muttered.
In his past existence, Li Chengqian never possessed a knack for English, his results in the subject being particularly dismal—hence the infamous score of 28.
After completing high school, the necessity of using English vanished, leading him to forget almost everything he had learned.
“It appears I must redouble my efforts to regain what’s in these textbooks,” Li Chengqian remarked with a self-deprecating chuckle, his resolve unshaken.
The reason for his bewilderment was a stark lack of English vocabulary.
Upon this realization, Li Chengqian’s gaze shifted to the vocabulary section within his English textbook, preparing to start anew from the very foundations.

“What is this… the Class Interface from the All-Class Master game? The very game I played in my previous life, which has now become my cheat after rebirth?” Li Chengqian’s heart pounded with overwhelming excitement.
All-Class Master was indeed a game.
