Third in the class, this was the best result she had achieved since starting school.
She just didn't know if such a result could rank her in the top fifty of the entire grade.
Youran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before she slowly moved away the hand covering her report card.
The lengthy report card listed, in order, the student's number, name, class, ID number, followed by the scores for each subject, and finally, in the last column, the overall school ranking.
Youran slowly scanned through each column, and as she neared the last one, she couldn't help but close her eyes and quietly pray in her mind before looking.
Below the overall school ranking column, the number 72 stood out prominently.
Youran stared at those two digits for a long time, unable to grasp what they meant for quite a while.
72??
She was ranked 72nd in the whole school?
She had finally achieved third place in her class, only to be ranked 72nd in the entire school??
