Somebody in my class has worked out that minus ninety is the lowest score in the recorded history of Zenith Academy.
I do not know who. Roland says it was Marren, Marren says it was Delia, and Delia says she merely confirmed it, which is the sort of answer that tells you everything.
The important thing is that Sanctuary has decided this is an achievement.

"There are classes that have finished with three points."
"Three points is nothing. Three points is a bad day." He pointed a piece of bread at me. "Minus ninety is a statement."
