"No, no, no," Moira shook her head: "You haven't seen her best performance yet."
Hearing this, Maxwell was very surprised, "This is not her best performance?"
Moira smiled and said, "No."
Maxwell licked his lips, unable to imagine what Elizabeth would look like at her best.
The performance ended.
Elizabeth put away her violin, waiting for the judges to score.
The first judge gave a high score of 9.5.
Next was 8.9.
8.5, 9.3, 8...
Removing the highest and lowest scores, Elizabeth's final score was 65 points.
The host looked at the calculated score with excitement, "Congratulations to Elizabeth Thompson from International School for gaining the highest score so far, averaging 8.125!"
Upon hearing this, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Clap, clap, clap-
"Thank you, everyone."
Elizabeth bowed, hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, the host curiously asked, "Why doesn't Miss Thompson look happy after getting such a high score?"
