I’m not French, but I did take it for 5 years and it feels like the author just put it through google translate and left it at that. The sentence: “Vous êtes le meilleur élève de notre classe” is just simply wrong. Darcy is using vous which is an honorific used for adults you don’t know, teachers, etc. As a 17-year old you would not use it with another teenager. Also she uses the masculine form for Anya and she is explicitly stated to be a girl. I could just be nitpicking here but wrong use of language as a person who is non-english always annoys me
