### Chapter 6: First Display of Brilliance

The morning sunlight filled the dining room, warming the entire space. Kit was the last to descend the stairs, her actions from the previous night unnoticed.

Anna sat gracefully at the dining table, her gaze gentle. "Dad, it's almost senior year. What will happen to Sister if she's in Class F? I can tutor her and help improve her grades," she said sweetly, a hint of venom flickering in her eyes.

Anna, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and dressed in a light blue dress, looked innocent and harmless, but deep inside, she was full of schemes.

"No need, Anna. Don't let her affect your own studies. You have school and piano practice; you're already pressed for time," Mary said, frowning with concern.

Mary, with her short hair and simple home attire, looked tired. She was fully committed to Anna, feeling only indifference and frustration toward Kit.

"Kit, you and Anna represent the family outside, so study hard at school," John feigned concern, though his voice lacked any genuine emotion.

John, middle-aged and corpulent, dressed in a suit, always exuded an air of superiority.

Kit responded coldly, "No need."

Her voice was as icy as her demeanor, her gaze unwavering as she stared at John, showing no intention of backing down.

"Your sister is just concerned about you. Look at your attitude," Mary scolded, her voice laced with obvious reproach.

Kit gave her a cold look before standing up and leaving. Her gaze was so frosty and resolute that Mary couldn't meet it. Kit, though dressed simply in her school uniform, carried herself with an air of nobility.

**Class F at Qijiang First High**

Kit walked into Class F, already filled with students. The homeroom teacher, Mike, stood at the podium, speaking patiently, "Everyone knows the college entrance exam is next year. This year will be intense, with many exams. Be prepared." He then resumed his math lecture.

Mike, a young teacher with black-framed glasses and a simple white shirt, had a warm and firm voice.

Kit glanced out the window, watching a sparrow hopping joyfully on a branch, uninterested in Mike's passionate lecture. Her gaze through the window was serene, showing her indifference to the classroom's activities.

Her desk mate, Terrence, had been asleep since the morning bell rang. The teachers were accustomed to this since his math grades were excellent, and he always won competitions, so they let him be.

Terrence, with slightly long hair and a hint of fatigue on his face, seemed indifferent but consistently topped the class.

The only teacher displeased with this was Laura, who taught physics in Class F. Every time she taught, she showed blatant disdain.

Laura, a strict teacher with short hair and a dark professional suit, had high standards for her students and never overlooked any mistakes.

"No matter how hard you study, you're still mud. Look at your latest grades, still at the bottom," Laura slammed down the test papers with obvious contempt.

Kit glanced at the paper briefly, finding the questions dull and superficial. Her eyes showed disdain as she placed the paper down gently.

Although the students in Class F didn't have good grades, they didn't disrupt the class. The diligent ones sat at the front, but Kit found Laura's remarks harsh.

A tall boy, Kalvin, angrily spoke up, "Ms. Laura, we may have poor grades, but you have no right to insult us!"

Kalvin, tall and visibly angry, clenched his fists in frustration.

Laura sneered, "Don't want to be here? I don't want to teach you either, you bunch of failures!" She threw down her pen and walked out without looking back.

"Kalvin, it's all your fault! What do we do now that Ms. Laura is gone?" Jenny wailed.

Jenny, short and anxious, had a voice tinged with a sob.

The students who were listening attentively also turned, glaring at Kalvin with reproach.

Kit stood up calmly, "I'll teach."

Her voice was steady and firm, instantly silencing the room. All eyes focused on her, and her gaze conveyed an undeniable determination that commanded respect and trust.
