At the end of July, Yuqiu High School conducted their mid-term exams before the summer break.
The ranking of the results was posted on the bulletin board in the classroom corridor, which was usually plastered with various school activity and club promotion posters, but today, it was covered by a large sheet of white paper filled with the mid-term exam results.
It recorded the grades of the one hundred and twenty students in the second year.
The results were as follows—
First place: Kagura Hikaru.
Second place: Kiryu Hina.
Third place: Ayakoji Chiyoko.
Fourth place: ...
Just like the results from the last final exams of the previous year.
Many students crowded in front of the bulletin board to check their own results, those with disappointing scores began to clutch their heads and wail over having to take make-up classes during the summer, while those without these concerns laughed and discussed the top-ranking academic achievers among themselves.
