The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 47 - tinge of sarcasm

Once seated, her heart pounded, struggling to accept the fact that she wasn’t as bad as she thought.

As she pondered, she couldn’t help but cover her face in excitement.

However.

– “Are you sure no mistakes have been made in the grading?

Plus, there are cameras in the classroom, so don’t suspect me of cheating.”

Maureen didn’t want an emotional rollercoaster.

“Silly girl,” Mr.

Logan looked at her lovingly at this moment.

He returned to the podium, still looking in the direction of Maureen with an excited “my child has finally made me proud” look.

“Cough cough, everyone please be quiet, I’d like to say a few words.”

“Today is the happiest day of my teaching career.

Our international class has never had a student who scored first in math across all the classes.

It is true we are tied for first with two other students from the elite class, but we are still ranked first!

This shows that my teaching has achieved great results, and my efforts have not been wasted…”

What followed was a long, uninterrupted emotional speech, tracing back to the time when Mr.

Logan resolutely joined the education industry as a youth after graduation, before he started losing his hair.

Just as the international class students were exasperated and almost throwing rotten eggs, a real emotional rollercoaster came.

The biology teacher entered the classroom and called Mr.

Logan out, saying there had been some issues with the biology scores of two students.

The total core would need to be recalculated.

“Huh?”

Mr.

Logan was startled.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Their class had finally produced a student who was within the top twenty in the entire school, and he hoped it wasn’t Maureen’s score that had an issue.

Nervously, he asked,

“Which two students?”

“One is Maureen from your class, and the other is Lopez from the elite class.”

“Mr.

Logan timidly followed the biology teacher.

The atmosphere in the international class became tense all at once.

Liam glanced out the window and frowned, saying,

“Releasing the grades before they are properly sorted out, and now re-sorting them again, what if the grades are lower than before?

Isn’t this just setting people up for disappointment?”

Maureen sighed.

She felt that this was the normal course of things – how could she possibly have made it into the top twenty of the entire building so easily?

It’s not that she didn’t trust Liam’s luck, but rather, she didn’t trust herself.

She had been getting lousy grades for two years, and now she had suddenly soared so high, she felt like she was dreaming.

“Calm down,” Maureen said, cooling down at this point.

She picked up the milk on the table, took a sip, and inserted the straw.

…

The Evergreen class also received news that the rankings were to be re-sorted because of Maureen from the international class and Lopez from the Gold Star class.

As soon as the news came out, Mrs.

Miller went to the office to help with the reordering.

With Mrs.Miller, known for his strictness, gone, the voices of discussion in the Evergreen class got louder.

“I was wondering why Maureen scored so high.

Turns out there was a problem with her score.”

Harold couldn’t help but defend Maureen,

“Didn’t you hear that there was a problem with a small fill-in-the-blank question in biology?

It’s only worth three points here.

Even if these three points are deducted, she still has 697 points, which is still pretty awesome.”

“But in that case, she would have to drop a few places – she should be…”

The person looked up and said, “She would be below Bianca, at the twenty-second place.”

Feeling the rush of blood to her head and the buzzing in her ears finally subsiding a little, Bianca reluctantly started to calculate what would happen if Maureen lost those three points.

If points were to be deducted, then I would be the 19th and Maureen would be the 22nd.

Noella quickly did the math, swallowed hard, and said, “I didn’t expect Maureen to do so well on this test.

Could it be a fluke?

Did Richard help her revise the scope?

But if we re-rank, she’ll be under you.

This way—” Noella wanted to say that it’s better than her being ahead, but seeing Bianca’s still displeased expression, she decided not to.

These few minutes of waiting were unbearable for all three classes.

Bianca kept staring at the projector, until about five minutes later when Mrs.

Miller returned.

Mrs.

Miller replaced the projector.

Because of what had just happened, everyone subconsciously went straight to find the names of Maureen and Lopez, curious to see the change in their rankings.

And then they saw— Maureen actually moved up???

She was given extra points, not deducted?

She was moved to the 17th place in the overall ranking?!

Compared to the uproar just now, the classroom of Evergreen Class was suddenly silent for a moment.

In a cold tone, Mrs.

Miller explained, “There are two answers to the biology fill-in-the-blank question, but the other one is at the university biology level, not within our scope of learning, so it was corrected at first, but now it has been adjusted back.

Only these two students used the other answer.”

“I want to remind those of you who plan to participate in competitions to expand your knowledge as much as possible.”

Bianca felt her blood run cold, watching with wide eyes as Maureen rose to seventeenth place as a result of the added three marks.

And because of these three marks, Lopez, who was ranked behind her, moved ahead of her as well.

Suddenly, she found herself at twenty-first place!

How could this be?

Upon noticing Bianca’s shift in ranking, the entire class instinctively cast more glances at her.

Bianca strived to maintain a calm façade, but she just couldn’t compose herself, her mind a blank slate.

Why did this happen?

Maureen used to perform so poorly.

How could she have surged so spectacularly within such a short span of a month?

Did she go for tutoring?

But who could have tutored her such that she could suddenly surpass me in terms of academic performance?

Panicking, Bianca lowered her head out of fear that others would see the unsightly look on her face.

Ann looked at Bianca, saying with a tinge of sarcasm: “Looks like Maureen isn’t as bad as we thought.”
