The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 46 - She is among the top 20
Chapter 46: She is among the top 20
Chapter 46: She is among the top 20
When Mrs.
Miller walked into Evergreen Class holding exam papers, her lips tightly pursed and wrinkles on both sides of her mouth were visible.
Evergreen Class could feel the brewing storm, as if she was on the verge of erupting.
They were relieved when they heard her first sentence,
“The overall performance of our class this time is acceptable, there’s not much difference with before.”
But in the next second, she slammed the exam papers onto the lectern!
“But your performance in math is so poor!”
“There’s not even one full score in math!”
“Out of three full scores in total, even the International Class upstairs has one, why doesn’t our class have any?!”
“Did I teach worse than the math teachers of the other two classes?!”
Mrs.
Miller was frustrated.
She had always lost to Mrs.
Brown of the Honor’s Class, which was somewhat acceptable since they have students of the School Competitive Team, it’s understandable if they couldn’t surpass them.
But this time, for the first time in several years, she was surpassed by Mr.
Logan from the International Class!
Thinking of how smug Logan had looked in the office earlier, cheerfully saying to her “Victory and defeat are common in the military,” and acting modestly despite gaining an advantage, Mrs.
Miller felt even more irritated.
“The International Class just lucked out.”
A student muttered softly.
The question was so difficult, they couldn’t even understand it.
It was beyond the scope of what they learned, even beyond the competition range.
Knowing from Mrs.
Miller, that only three people in the whole building could solve it, even the six members of the School Competitive Team didn’t all make it— how could the traditionally bottom-ranked International Class have someone who could solve it?
No one cared about it.
It was just a single question, after all.
Their overall scores were definitely stronger than the international class.
Bianca didn’t care much either.
Although she didn’t get the answer right, her strength lay in her balanced scores across all subjects.
Her overall ranking would never be too bad.
After all, it’s impossible for the only perfect score in math from the international class to be achieved by Maureen.
She kept her head down, her gaze fixed on the book.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
But her mind was completely focused on the upcoming step of revealing the rankings.
The tension grew inside Bianca as the projector turned on.
She didn’t show it on her face, but her hand involuntarily clenched the page, leaving it drenched in sweat.
Noella, sitting next to her, whispered,
“Don’t worry.
As long as you perform normally, you’ll be among the top twenty in the three classes.
Maureen only transferred from the regular class last month and probably hasn’t caught up with the learning progress.
How can she compare with you?”
“I’m not nervous,” Bianca shook her head and said,
“I’m definitely ahead of her in scores.
The worry is…”
The worry was the gap between her and Maureen was not large enough.
The worry was that Maureen had made great progress compared to her previous scores.
Bianca didn’t elaborate further, but Noella quickly understood, “It’s true.
Maureen started from a lower point.
Any little progress could attract your family’s attention.
But they are so used to your excellent scores over the years, Bianca.”
Only if Maureen, who transferred from the regular class to this building, took a huge fall – say, to the bottom – could the disparity between them be visible to Bianca’s family.
“Uh-huh.”
Bianca closed her eyes for a moment to steady her mine.
By the time she opened her eyes again, the scores had been projected.
She held her breath, looking for her ranking and systematically checking her scores for each subject.
Noella looked down from the top, first found her name, and exclaimed, “Damn, Bianca, you are so awesome!
Ranked fifth in our class, and twentieth among the three classes!”
“You made it into the top twenty again!” Bianca let out half a sigh of relief, smiled at Noella, and said,
“I didn’t perform particularly well this time.”
Noella said, “I think you can rest assured.
There are a total of one hundred and fifty people in the three classes.
Maureen is either number one hundred and forty-nine or one hundred and fifty.
She inherently has poor grades and an average score in the regular class.
Moreover, it’s almost impossible for those transferred from the ordinary class to catch up with the progress of our three classes!”
Listening to this, Bianca felt a sense of relief and said, “I still hope she doesn’t test so poorly, otherwise my big brother may be called in by her class teacher again.”
As the two were talking, Mrs.
Miller pressed a key, switched the class score screen to the entire building score, and said with a stern face,
“Don’t think you’re so great just because you did well on the test.
Look at the school competition team’s scores, and compare the gap between yourselves and them.”
The students of the evergreen class were all looking for the grades of people familiar to them in the entire building ranking.
Very suddenly.
“Damn, wait a minute.
Am I seeing that wrong?
Isn’t that Maureen’s name?” someone suddenly found out.
“What is her ranking—I feel like I’m blinded, teacher, can you make the list bigger?!”
“Harold, the one who rejected you last time?” “It’s not Harold, it’s Nelson.
Didn’t the heir apparent of the Williams family christen that name himself?
Isn’t it exciting?”
Harold: “Shut up.” … So what exactly happened?
Bianca and Noella inexplicably heard someone calling out Maureen’s name, and initially thought they were hearing things.
The way Mrs.Miller displayed the projector was always scrolling from top to bottom slowly.
The ranking for the entire building had just been released for a few minutes, so it should still be on the first page, which meant the top fifty.
Maureen made it to the top fifty—?
Bianca felt her heart skip a beat and quickly looked up at the screen.
What she saw next was completely incomprehensible, absolutely incredible.
The white background, the black chart, and the number in front of Maureen’s name was 19.
From left to right, the most eye-catching was the column for math.
A perfect score.
She scored full marks.
Voices kept ringing in her ears: “Maureen, who transferred from the regular class, ranked 19th????
She made it to the top twenty?”
“What on earth, holy cow!
It’s so hard to get into the top twenty.
Every time, the elite class occupies a dozen or so spots.
Only about five students from our class can make it, and no one from the international class has ever entered the top twenty!
But this time, —— didn’t they say Maureen came from a regular class?”
More and more people noticed Maureen, squeezed in the 19th spot.
Then, like Bianca, others started to realize — “Wait a minute, she’s the one who got a perfect score in math?!”
As soon as these words came out, they stunned all directions.
The whole class bubbled like boiling water.
Was one of the three students with perfect math scores mentioned by Class Teacher Miller from the International Class just her?
Seeing that the class suddenly buzzed because of the name Maureen, Mrs.
Miller’s face darkened even more, “You still have the face to talk about others?
She only transferred here a month ago and she’s still working hard to catch up, yet she could score perfectly in Math!
I’ve been teaching you for so long, don’t tell me you don’t have any idea about that last question?”
Bianca was looking at the name that was just above hers.
For five square minutes, it was like she was in a dream.
She wondered if she was witnessing some kind of supernatural phenomena.
Her expression was very, very ugly.
Her entire person was in a void.
She couldn’t help but steady herself, and quietly asked Noella, “…I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?
It’s Maureen, right?
Nineteenth place…?
Ahead of me?” Noella was still in shock, her mouth agape and unable to return to reality: “Eh?”
The male student in front of Bianca heard her question, thinking Bianca couldn’t see clearly, and kindly turned his head back to her: “Yes, it’s Maureen.
She even scored full marks in math!
Never expected that, especially with such difficult questions this time!
How did she end up in the regular class before?”
“Your sister, is she a selective learner?
No, not really.
She’s just particularly weak in biology, but her scores in every other subject are quite high.”
“Wait, why do you look so upset?
Are you feeling unwell?”
=========
The international class was also in the state of the hubbub.
The class instructor, Teacher Logan, didn’t even utilize a projector.
Upon rushing in excitedly, he immediately announced to Maureen while hugging her excitedly, that she had scored a perfect score in Mathematics this time, ranking first in the international class and nineteenth in the entire floor.
The entire class turned to look at Maureen, shocked.
“Holy crap, Maureen, you are something else!” exclaimed Niel, surprised.
“I knew your grades were good, should have had you let me and Liam copy off you.”
“Copy, copy, copy, all you know is copy!”
Liam raised a proud smile, glanced at Maureen, and emphasized: “I never cheat, okay?”
Niel retorted sarcastically, “Right, you’re too lazy even to do your paper.
What would you cheat?
Copy someone else’s name onto the top left corner of your paper?”
Liam picked up a dictionary from Maureen’s desk and was mock-threatened,
“Getting a little too bold, aren’t you?”
Niel quickly dodged away with a sheepish grin.
“Me, nineteenth?”
