Three days later, Evelyn got her grades for the final exam.
She scored an amazing 113 points out of 150. This was a very high score, judging from her usual standards.
Since Scroll accompanied His Majesty Roland to the Longsong Area for inspection work, Sister Wendy was the one who told her about the results. She even patted Evelyn on her shoulder and said encouragingly, "Good work. Her Highness Tilly will be very happy when she gets to know about this. Keep up the great work."
"I'll continue to work hard!" Evelyn nodded firmly and turned round to look for Candle. "How many points did you get?"
"91 points, which is still a pass," Candle answered, "Looking at your happy expression, you must have done very well on the test."
"Um!" Evelyn blurted. "113!"
"Really? This score is probably close to Lucia's!" Candle said excitedly, "Would you like me to find out?"
