The next day was the day of the first Year Three Parent-Teacher meeting and the first Year Three Assembly. The school had spent a lot of money organizing such a large event. Music could be heard playing 500 meters away from the sound system. There were parents and Year Three students in school uniforms walking all around the school.
Some of them came together to discuss their kids' academics and the conversation led to the topic of rankings.
"What? The top student this time is a Year Three transfer student?! And she's from Class Twenty?"
"Yeah, I just don't understand how a transfer student with such a good academic record would go to Class Twenty. Shouldn't they be assigned to Class One?"
"I don't know. Maybe the school had to take other things into consideration."
