CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 496 RESET

Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the book and quickly walked to the center of the classroom.

There was a display table set up here.

The students formed a circle, and Li Xueming was explaining the structure of the human skeleton to them.

A human skeleton model stood right in the center of the group.

Li Xueming explained each part in detail, carefully educating the students.

Everyone listened intently and observed closely. Since Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived late, she couldn’t squeeze in and had to watch from the outer circle, thus viewing everything from afar.

Unable to hear clearly, Jiang Xiaoxiao squeezed forward a little.

Someone next to her impatiently pushed Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Why are you pushing? Just because you’re late doesn’t mean you have a reason! Have some manners."

Unprepared for this rudeness, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t expect the person to suddenly make way beside her, refusing to give her even a sliver of space.

Regardless if it was intentional or not.

Jiang Xiaoxiao lunged forward awkwardly, facing the human skeleton model in front of Li Xueming.

Whoosh.

Bones scattered all over the ground, with Jiang Xiaoxiao sitting in the center.

The sight was comical and absurd.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Li Xueming stared at this student in shock.

Others snickered, casting disdainful glances, while some whispered among themselves.

The murmuring was just loud enough for people to hear.

"Is she really that Jiang Xiaoxiao? Doesn’t seem like much, looks kind of silly."

"Coming late is one thing, but why ruin the skeleton model for everyone? How is the class supposed to proceed?"

"Better not say a word, or you’ll get reported, remember that girl who got expelled for clashing with her?"

"Why can’t I talk about it? So it’s okay for her to act out but not okay for others to comment?"

"Fine, you’re the tough one, I won’t say anything."

"You’re scared of her, but I’m not. Destroying the school’s skeleton model, what kind of behavior is that!"

"Do you know who she is? With so many supporters like Dean Zhang, Mr. Wu, Mr. Feng, and Old Song behind her, there’s no need for you to worry. It’s easy to get another one!"

Sarcastic remarks abounded, with Jiang Xiaoxiao becoming the target of criticism.

Li Xueming’s eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.

In a place renowned nationwide for its academic excellence, being defiled by such a person was truly disgraceful.

As a teacher, he absolutely wouldn’t allow such opportunistic individuals to pass under his watch.

His face was as frosty as the chill of December.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, you have blatantly destroyed the class’s human skeleton model. This is terrible behavior. As a student like you, I will give you zero marks; you will never earn credit from me unless you score a perfect score."

Perfect score?!

The crowd was astonished. From the beginning of their studies, they were aware that obtaining a perfect score in any course at the medical school required extraordinary genius.

The course in question was anatomy, and Professor Li Xueming was renowned for his rigor.

Earning a perfect score from him was akin to a highly capable surgeon completing their internship and becoming a formal physician.

Such difficulty was not something anyone dared challenge.

Many looked sympathetically at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

This was the consequence of offending the instructor.

Look at Professor Li, there’s nothing wrong with him, his reasons are valid, Jiang Xiaoxiao damaged the classroom model for study. If he didn’t like her, what could she do?

Jiang Xiaoxiao understood this too.

She had virtually offended the entire class.

Skeletal models weren’t easy to find.

Especially tangible models.

The medical school had paid a high price to obtain them.

"Teacher, these models aren’t ruined, I just knocked them over. They can be reassembled without affecting their use."

Jiang Xiaoxiao realized she was being targeted, and the punishment wasn’t exactly light.

But she had no choice; with fame comes trouble.

Li Xueming sneered, a shallow child of a cadre knew nothing!

In his eyes, these precious models were considered something easy to fix, utterly unaware that without profound medical knowledge, it was impossible to restore every bone to its precise place.

Even if you could recite the theory backwards, you still couldn’t do it.

The position of every bone in the human body determines a person’s form.

He had merely given a simple overview of the skeletal positions of various body parts to the class.

During this period, every freshman was a novice; some even struggled to name all the bones.

The requirement that students recall every bone and pinpoint its right spot hadn’t been truly stressed yet.

And this student dared to boast in front of him about reassembling all the bones easily, speaking with such ease.

"What you say is very sensible. Maybe the skeletal model wasn’t actually damaged. Since that’s the case, then you go ahead and realign them. If you can do realign them, proving they weren’t damaged, I’ll cancel your punishment. Our medical school is a fair place, and every student receives equitable treatment, including you."

Others immediately acted as if anticipating her failure.

Feng Na was anxious, unable to speak out but trying to help Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Teacher, we are freshmen; today is our first class, and we haven’t memorized everything yet. If Jiang Xiaoxiao has to realign them, it would be best if you give us a week’s time, what do you think?"

By then, she could rally their entire dormitory to assist Jiang Xiaoxiao, and it might be doable.

Li Xueming lifted his lips; naïve children, indeed.

Did they really think holding a book could help them realign all the bones parts?

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, I’ll give you ten days. How about that? Fair enough, right? I won’t casually judge someone guilty of an offense."

Alluding to the matter involving An Meiqi.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up, dusting herself off.

Her expression was calm, seeming unbothered by the recent events, which to Li Xueming signified thick-skinned arrogance.

When someone dislikes you, even your fine qualities seem flawed in their eyes.

"Mr. Li, ten days aren’t necessary."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s attitude was humble, indeed not needing ten days.

"Do you mean one week? Are you sure? If you can’t realign it in time, you’ll have to accept the punishment. At that point, you’ll need to score perfect marks in your anatomy class to graduate. Are you confident?"

Li Xueming was incensed; this child was indeed prideful.

So arrogant and impressive.

Others laughed loudly, "Teacher, for Jiang Xiaoxiao to get perfect marks, it’s just a matter of talking to Dean Zhang."

This was said to deliberately provoke Li Xueming.

Li Xueming scoffed, "None of you think that depending on connections, without truly learning, can allow you to graduate from the medical school. The graduates from here are genuine talents with real skills and knowledge. If you think you can succeed using extraordinary means to graduate from here, let me tell you, you’ve no chance, not even by divine intervention can you change my scoring. Without real ability, no one, no matter who, can graduate from my supervision."

His resolute stance earned everyone’s thumbs up.

Integrity!
