Huo Yao listened to the Principal quietly.
"There are a lot of brilliant participants at the international level. The questions in the national finals are considered to be pretty basic in comparison. In the past, the top ranked students that we sent, did not make it into even the top ten."
The Principal smiled sadly and shook his head. He turned to glance at Huo Yao and continued. "Huo Yao, you are the first student who has maintained the first position and attained full marks all through the competition. I think you stand a good chance at making it into the top ten."
In the past, he would have been happy to see her return with any rank in the International Quiz Contest. It did not matter even if she was placed in the 20s or 30s. However, he changed his mindset when the results for the finals were released today. He felt that this young lady was far more capable than he had imagined.
