Chapter 97: Test Results (2/2)

When Novis got to speak to the reporters he would be sure to tell them everything. Even though Novis knew he wasn't getting the recognition he deserved, he felt like Alex was missing out on most of it and didn't even seem to care.

The team went back to their classes and the bell Rang signalling it was time for the end of the day but before they were free to head home or head to their club classes, the students were given their termly test results.

Before the teacher had given Novis his test back, Novis was silently praying. When he opened his eyes he shouted.

”YES!”

Scarlett quickly came over to see what Novis was all excited about.

”What did you get?”

Novis lifted up his piece of paper to show the score of 44. Scarlett's face quickly dropped.

”How on earth could you be so happy about a score like that?”

”Hey a pass is a pass, if I studied, I know I could do better, this is what I got just from listening in a class all day.”

Scarlett sighed. She herself had gotten an 82. The school's results went like so. Anything above 40 was considered a pass, then each grade bracket would go up in tens. 50, 60, 70 and then finally anything past an 80 was the top score you could get. Even if a person got 92 it would still count as the same grade a someone who got an 82.

”I wonder what the others got?” Novis said staring at his score.

Ashley had received a 55. She wasn't much better than Novis, as she was always too busy training in the dojo and never had any time to study. Dan got 78. Dan was just one of those types of people that were naturally gifted at everything. If he studied maybe he would have got an even higher score.

And finally, there was Alex's score. When Alex received his test paper his body wouldn't stop shaking. His eyes were fixated on the number in the top. When everyone had left the classroom to go home or to their club. Alex had stayed sitting down in his chair staring at his paper.

He had gotten a score of 86. Now most people getting a score like this would have been over the moon but not Alex. This was bad. Alex was dreading going home to his parents, as it might be the last time, he was able to play VSW ever again.
