Was it a lie or the truth? Beichuan Lin, being a parent, was somewhat concerned.
Beichuan Hui Li pulled Beichuan Lin to sit on a bench, proudly answering the other's question: "Brother Temple is second in his grade! His scores have consistently stayed second in the recent mock exams, without any sign of dropping."
"Second in the grade?!" Beichuan Lin instinctively pinched her own cheek and, realizing she was not dreaming, felt even more emotionally turbulent.
Second in the grade academically...
And it's consistently been that way?
Beichuan Lin simply couldn't believe it.
This was Kyubei High School, not the private junior high Beichuan Si used to attend.
Kyubei High School ranks among the top in the academically competitive Bunkyo District.
Beichuan Si managed to be second in the grade in such a school?
Was his previous average ranking just Beichuan Si hiding his true abilities? That's not right either.
Who would hide their own scores for no reason?
