As Chen Zhuang was panicking, the English teacher walked into the classroom holding the textbook.
He was a male teacher, just over thirty, wearing glasses, tall and thin.
"The teacher is here."
Chen Zhuang, in a moment of inspiration, shifted the topic and turned his head.
Shen Siqi, sitting behind him, rolled her eyes but didn't press the issue.
"Good morning, everyone!"
The male teacher stood on the podium with a smile and greeted all the students in fluent spoken English.
A few outgoing students responded loudly.
After putting down the textbook, the male teacher placed his hands on the podium and his gaze swept across the faces in the classroom.
"Wow, there are quite a few handsome guys and beautiful girls!"
The teacher feigned surprise and complimented them.
The students below were taken aback, and then some with cheerful expressions started to egg him on.
"Teacher, you saw through it all. Your eyesight is amazing."
"Haha... Teacher, you spoke such a truth as soon as you came, it makes me so embarrassed!"
"Teacher, you're handsome too!"
...
On the podium, the male teacher's smile became even brighter. He picked up chalk and wrote two Chinese characters and a few English letters on the blackboard.
"Let me introduce myself. This is my name, Xu Wenliang, and my English name is Gavyn."
"Gavyn, Gavin?"
A boy in the front row asked curiously.
"That's right."
Teacher Xu nodded with a smile.
"Teacher Gavin, does your English name have a story?"
A girl asked.
"There's no story. When I was in university, the teacher asked us to come up with an English name, so I chose this one. Gavyn comes from Welsh and is a powerful name, giving an impression of independence and positivity."
Teacher Xu explained with a smile.
"It is indeed powerful. Teacher Gavin, do you believe in the light?"
Zeng Xin, sitting a bit ahead of Qin Tian and others, suddenly asked loudly.
The classroom fell silent for a moment, then erupted into laughter.
Xu Wenliang looked at Zeng Xin and said with a chuckle, "Yes, I do. But, teacher's name is Gavin, not Sevenger Ultraman."
"I know. As long as you believe in the light too, we are good friends."
Zeng Xin nodded solemnly.
"Okay!"
Xu Wenliang responded with a smile.
"Hahaha..."
The laughter in the classroom became even more joyful.
"Zeng Sanjin, aren't you funny!"
"Stop talking, my stomach is hurting from laughing."
"You guys don't know, this guy watches Ultraman in the dorm every day."
"To be honest, I also quite like watching it. Diga is my favorite."
"Hehe... Fellow fans!"
Many boys got excited when this topic came up, discussing it animatedly.
Most of the girls couldn't relate, thinking that it was childish for grown men to like Ultraman.
"I say, can you boys stop being so childish? Learn from Qin Tian and be more mature and steady."
Cheng Meng suddenly shouted loudly.
Many students, upon hearing this, turned their gazes towards Qin Tian.
Teacher Gavin on the podium also looked at Qin Tian with their gazes, observing him with some curiosity.
"What is it?"
Qin Tian was a bit confused, wondering why he was being brought up.
Xia Nuannuan beside him smiled with her eyes, covering her mouth and chuckling.
"A man is a boy until he dies, you know! Who hasn't watched Ultraman!"
Zeng Xin retorted loudly, unconvinced.
"That was when you were little. Ask Qin Tian if he still watches it now?"
Cheng Meng said with a look of helplessness.
"Ultraman, I really haven't watched it in a long time."
Qin Tian smiled, then his expression turned serious, "However, I also believe in the existence of light."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and crossed them in front of him, making the classic Ultraman pose for releasing a beam.
Everyone was stunned, looking at him with astonished eyes.
Cheng Meng covered her face with her hand, feeling that she had underestimated the influence of Ultraman.
"Why does it feel like... even Qin Tian looks handsome doing such a childish move!"
A girl said dreamily.
"Yeah, it feels quite interesting, so funny!"
"After class, I'm going back to the dorm to reminisce about my childhood!"
"When I was little, I actually watched quite a lot. The protagonist of Diga was quite handsome."
"Right, right, I remember him too. This show was actually quite good, and the theme song was nice too."
In the classroom, the girls' attitudes suddenly changed.
The boys, hearing the girls' discussions, were all speechless.
So, as long as one is handsome, childishness doesn't exist, right?
Qin Tian lowered his hands, glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him, and winked at her.
"You're childish!"
Xia Nuannuan pouted her small lips to give her evaluation, then couldn't help but let out a giggle.
...
...
The first class was still a major course, and everyone was reluctant to be late.
When the class bell rang, students from both classes had basically arrived in the classroom.
Xu Wenliang picked up an attendance sheet from under the textbook and began to call out names one by one.
He called out names slowly, also to get a rough impression of each student.
After taking attendance, Xu Wenliang showed a satisfied smile.
"Well, everyone is here. You all performed very well today. Continue this way in the future. I will take attendance in every class."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the classroom immediately showed disgruntled faces and complained in hushed tones.
Of course, they knew this wasn't entirely true, but with these words, they certainly wouldn't dare to skip English class for a while.
Then, Xu Wenliang spoke about teaching matters.
University classes were naturally different from high school.
Teacher Gavin clearly stated that during class, they would try to communicate in English as much as possible.
"You might find it uncomfortable at first, but this is also a way to train everyone's listening and speaking skills. Please concentrate and get used to it gradually."
After saying this, he smoothly switched to English.
"So, let's begin class now. Everyone, turn to the table of contents in your textbook."
After all, they had all managed to get into Jiang University, so they understood this simple sentence, and Xu Wenliang had deliberately slowed down his speaking pace.
Afterward, Teacher Xu officially began the class.
The students listened very attentively. Even though they were not used to this all-English teaching method, they frowned and tried to understand.
Soon, they felt the difference from high school.
Xu Wenliang's teaching pace was very fast. He would often not emphasize a knowledge point several times like high school teachers.
Coupled with the all-English instruction, boys with generally poor English speaking skills would quickly fall behind if they weren't paying attention.
Without getting used to it, listening to such a class was indeed a bit tiring.
Qin Tian, on the other hand, understood everything perfectly, as he had studied hard in his previous life and even passed the CET-6, and his spoken English was further honed through workplace experience.
He glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him and found that she also seemed quite relaxed, alternating between two colors of gel pens as she took rapid notes in her textbook.
Xia Nuannuan's English grades were indeed very good, but there were still many people in the class who were better at English than her, so it was unlikely she would be this relaxed.
"Is it the special skill, the Super Scholar Halo effect?"
This thought crossed Qin Tian's mind.
