Yukino Yukinoshita might have been proud, but when faced with a freak like Sogo Doma, she ultimately chose to follow her heart and turn a blind eye. She did not mention anything about definitely surpassing him, and she never brought up academic grades in front of him. Clearly, she had given up struggling...
That was hardly surprising. If Sogo Doma's grades had merely been a little better than hers and Utaha Kasumigaoka's, she would have said something harsh no matter what.

"Huh? Didn't you know about Yukinoshita's grades?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
No, no, no—they knew very well! It was just that...
"Ahem..." Just as the second young lady was feeling
