CHAPTER 443: CHAPTER 443: KILLING TIME

"The second place goes to Evelyn Vaughn. Which student is Evelyn Vaughn? Please raise your hand."

"Evelyn" is quite an uncommon name.

The students immediately started looking around curiously.

They saw a girl sitting right in front of Ashley Shaw raise her hand.

The girl’s appearance was average, with a cute round face, considered a little beauty among ordinary people.

But because Ashley Shaw is so outstanding, Evelyn Vaughn seemed particularly ordinary.

The boys initially had a filter for the name "Evelyn Vaughn," but upon seeing her in person, without exception, they all wore disappointed expressions.

Evelyn Vaughn was not blind to the classmates’ reactions, and her hand under the desk tightened involuntarily.

This feeling of being openly compared would make anyone uncomfortable.

Evelyn Vaughn’s dorm was next to Ashley Shaw’s, and she clearly saw Ashley being taken away by five or six police officers.

Originally, she had no opinion about Ashley because she felt it didn’t concern her.

But now, being compared to Ashley, she felt very uncomfortable inside.

Her appearance may be average, but what good is it for Ashley to look pretty? Isn’t she involved in a lawsuit? Who knows what crime she committed to be taken away?

Why should she be compared to a "criminal"?

"Turns out she’s also a beauty! So adorable! Our class committee certainly has the highest looks in the school." Wilson Wallace praised Evelyn Vaughn without hesitation.

Evelyn Vaughn wasn’t happy.

The adjective "cute" is quite nuanced.

Someone once said, when you can’t find significant advantages in someone’s appearance, you can praise them as cute.

Her face was stiff, and her voice was cold.

"Teacher, I might not be suitable for the role of study committee member either."

Wilson Wallace treated Evelyn Vaughn the same way he treated Ashley Shaw.

"It’s okay, it’s only for one academic year, and whether it’s suitable or not, you’ll only know if you try!"

Not giving Evelyn Vaughn a chance to speak, Wilson Wallace said directly, "Let’s settle it like this for now. If there’s anything unsuitable, we can change it later. Now, none of us know each other, we’re a bit shy, but later someone might volunteer to be the study committee member."

"I..."

Wilson Wallace didn’t give Evelyn Vaughn the opportunity to refuse, and directly changed the topic, "We’re still missing a sports committee member. But this time we won’t go by grades, we’ll choose the tallest boy in our class! Boys, who’s a bit taller?"

The boys in the class were all sitting together, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

So someone directly pointed to a clean-shaven, tidy boy.

"Teacher, Leo Bell is very tall! He’s 1.9 meters!"

The boy whose name was called felt his cheeks turn slightly red.

"No, I’m not 1.9 meters, I’m only 1.89 meters."

Wilson Wallace made the decision directly, "Leo Bell, right? Then it’s settled! I noticed earlier, our class has lots of girls, and especially both committee members are girls. If there’s any physical work, you need to take on the man’s responsibility and help them more."

Though Leo Bell blushes with ease, he wasn’t shy and nodded straightforwardly, "Alright, teacher."

Of course, the reason he accepted the role of sports committee so readily was because one of the committee members was someone he hoped to get closer to.

Wilson Wallace said, "You three committee members come out with me. I have something to discuss with you."

The three walked out, each with different expressions.

Evelyn Vaughn, expressionless, walked in front.

Once the three were outside, Wilson Wallace said, "Military training starts the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, you need to do two things. One is to take the classmates to the school’s photo studio to get their student ID photos taken. The other is to report the classmates’ clothing sizes to me so I can prepare training uniforms."

"I’ll notify you about the photo-taking time. You should gather everyone downstairs at the girls’ dorm and head there together."

"You need to settle the matter of training uniform sizes today so I can report it promptly. So go ahead and gather this information now."

"Also, I’ll create a WeChat group. Everyone should join, so I can notify you of any matters in the group."

Among the three, only Leo Bell showed a smile.

"Alright, teacher."

Once the group was created, Wilson Wallace led the three back to the classroom.

"I need to attend a meeting, so for now, everyone can freely move around in the classroom. Wait until the dismissal bell rings, then leave the classroom."

Wilson Wallace paused and added, "Some representatives from the student council and various clubs will be coming to recruit. Joining clubs and the student council can earn credits, so everyone should actively sign up..."

His speech ended without mentioning maintaining quiet in the classroom, merely stating not to leave the classroom casually.

Lynn Redding once again felt how different this was from high school.

"No wonder our teachers always said that once you get to university, things become more relaxed. It’s truly relaxed."

"That’s not necessarily true..." Already having experienced one year of university, Ashley Shaw thought to herself that every university exam was crucial. You didn’t have to study, but you had to pass.

Hence, self-study and self-discipline became very important.

And for young people like them, self-discipline was the hardest.

If you’re not careful, you might flunk a subject.

Fail two subjects, or miss some necessary certifications, and you can forget about getting that diploma.

So rather than saying university is relaxed, it might be more accurate to say that for those who just want to coast, university is relaxed.

But for those who truly want to learn a lot, the learning environment in university is not as good as in high school.

Of course, this was Ashley Shaw’s own conclusion.

Because in her previous life, she was one who just coasted.

Her mind was entirely preoccupied with Warren Prescott; she didn’t care about learning at all.

But this life, Ashley Shaw intends to be the latter.

Her goal remains the same as from the beginning.

To study hard, and stay away... from Warren Prescott.

It’s just that the method of staying away now is quite unexpected for Ashley Shaw.

She planned to call Mark when she returned to her dorm.

By her calculation, tomorrow is when the ship arrives at the foreign port.

If Warren Prescott is on the cruise, he would undoubtedly choose to disembark here.

Whether it’s to catch Morgan Schultz or to connect with the people back home, he would choose to disembark.

Everything will be revealed tomorrow.

Evelyn Vaughn’s voice interrupted her thoughts at this moment.

"Did you bring paper and pen?"

Ashley Shaw looked up at the front desk in confusion, "No... Why?"

Evelyn Vaughn gave her a look, a look Ashley Shaw couldn’t decipher, but it certainly wasn’t a friendly look.

"Did you forget? We’re supposed to record height and weight."

Ashley Shaw really did forget.

She quickly turned to ask Lynn Redding and Jocelyn Hayes.

"Did you bring paper and pen?"

Jocelyn Hayes shook her head, while Lynn Redding said, "I have sticky notes in my bag, but no paper."

Before Ashley Shaw could speak, Evelyn Vaughn sighed and said, "Never mind! I’ll go ask the sports committee."
