[ It's probably not meant to make him feel that much better, but it does, a little. Yuji's teachers never had much in terms of high expectations for him, not until Gojo-sensei, who wanted him to surpass the low bar of not having a cursed technique and grow into someone strong enough to deal with their world. The fact that Ratio-sensei had even started to have some kind of judgement of his skill and still wanted to help teach him...

It has to be enough for him.

Aventurine-san helps too, of course, and Yuji throws him a small, grateful smile before he turns back to his teacher. ]

Three percent... That's a high bar to aim for.

[ 'Not a stellar student'... Ouch.

It still feels a little bad, having all these bad exams on his lap, but at least he has something to aim for, now? At least he has some kind of goal. He's never really been the school type before, but needing to know more about the human body is enough to push him forward. He needs to get better with his technique.

He has to. ]

I hope you're right, Ratio-sensei. I'd like to do at least a little better next time.
