A new day, same hustle.
Kiruyin woke up, freshened up and got read for the school. Today was Friday. A good day. Because the underlining delight of weekend anticipation hummed in his chest. Making him feel energetic. Tomorrow, he will scavenge the whole campus and locate all the food stalls.
Then visit them on by one. He also plans to buy other personal items from the Keyaki Mall. But that's for tomorrow, for now, he would go to school.
:——————————:
The trip to the school was uneventful. Nothing much happened other than the fact that Kiruyin started to notice gazes directed at him which he was not aware of before.
Although it was hard to accept, but he concluded that he was attractive. Which, he wouldn't lie, was a huge boost to his ego and mood.
He was feeling very happy at the moment. He sat on his desk. With a book infront. Pretending to read while imagining some super cool anime fight inside his head.
The situation of Class-B was way different than yesterday. Ichinose has already organised the class and divided roles. Schedules after school and also ways to secure points as much as possible. The girls cut short all the plans for partying and shoping to preserve their points.
Which made Kiruyin even more happy. Seeing that he slapped some girls with responsibility. It was refreshing to be honest.
Class-B also created a group chat where all 40 of the classmates were invited. Including him. All the important notices will be announced their and anyone can ask for help, in case they are in need of something.
Kiruyin's evaluation of Ichinose went up a notch. She was really competent when it came to managing people and interacting with them.
Currently, Ichinose and Kanzaki were planning study groups and susybaka(Sou Shibata) were responsible for getting information on clubs for every. As joining one can earn them more points.
Even though it was just the third day of school, Kiruyin couldn't help but feel that the class has been together for months, with how harmonious it was. And he didn't hate it at all. These people were all nice. Easy to talk to. They don't push his buttons that triggers him. Life was good. And he would like to keep it that way.
'It would not go that way will it?'
Kiruyin's lazy smile vanished when his gut feeling said otherwise. His mood plumped down and blasted into pieces like a watermelon hitting the floor.
'Whatever bro. I will think about it later. I need to plan my route of operation. Which restaurant should I attack first? Ramen? Chinese? Italian? Or classic Japanese? Hmm~~. What a great dilemma like the great Wall of China...'
He took out his phone and started looking at photos of food. Letting his stomach decide which food it wants to be stuffed with. Every option was enticing. But the stomach decided that it will like to have pasta basta with drinks being optional. He was never the one to decide what drinks to have before going to eat(dunno about others). But his heart leaned towards cold coffee.
As Kiruyin and his metabolism were deciding what to eat, the arrival time of Honamishiya-sensei arrived. He put away the phone. Everyone was on their seat. Adjusting their posture to impeccable degree.
Few minutes later, the teacher arrived and every stood up at the same to and bowed.
"Wow~~. My cute students are so cute when acting like military soldiers! Hehe~ sit down Everyone~!"
She said with her usual playful attitude. Everyone sat back down in unison. Kiruyin somehow felt proud to be part of such disciplined class. It almost made him tear up. Honamishiya-sensei took attendance of the students. After she was done, a playful, teaching smirk marred her face.
"Since my cute students are doing such hard work to contribute to the class, let sensei help you~~!!!"
She said as she as she held up a stack of papers above her head and showing them to everyone with a proud smile like she was showing Simba to the animals.
"Surprise Quiz Teeeessstttt!!! Hehe~~ You guys have such adorable expression on your faces right now~~ hehe. That's right. A test! Sensei especially prepared it for you guys toiling the whole night~. Sensei will be sad if anyone fails ok~?"
The class was stunned into silence. Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment and ambiguity. Never in their wildest dreams could they have guessed that they will get a surprise Quiz test on the third day of starting high school. But they recovered quickly. It wasn't a big deal because most of them have covered the curriculum even before entering the school. So there was no chance to fail.
They regained their bearings and prepared themselves to take the exam. The sensai had Ichinose distribute the papers.
In the far corner, Kiruyin stared at the podium with stunned expression. The moment he heard the evil sensei say surprise test, his brain farted, eyes lost focus and drool lacked aggressively(imaginary).
(Imagination)
"PFFF!! HoLY COW!!!"
Points at a cow waring holy attired.
(Imagination End)
This was the first thing that came to his mind. He was still in a state of shock when the test paper was served infornt of him.
"Eh?"
He was in state of denial but looked at the paers nonetheless. He read it and based on his middle school knowledge, He will barely pass. He tried his best to solve the questions but unfortunately, it was not math or science where he could just slap theories and equations together to pass. No, it was Japanese.
The one subject he sucked at.
Severely.
He dreaded it.
Because it was memorisation based...
"Heh?"
The test didn't end until it ended. He wrote all the answers and only few general things he was sure about.
Rest?
God have mercy. Amin.
In the afternoon, when everyone was preparing to go home or do their thing or whatever, Kiruyin was slouched over his desk, blowing his eyes out. Tears streamed down like a hose let loose, wetting the desk and making a pool of tears(imaginary).
'Brooo~ didn't I have my mind numbing, brain cramping, super-duper ultra extra one inch two inch five inch golden superior legendry mental awakening just two days ago~~? Then why am I on the verge of failing a simple exam now~?'
He was holding his phone infront of his.
[Results: 34]
Everytime he watched the number, sharp pain assaulted his heart. He would squeeze his eyes shut and cry harder. It was like he was watching his wife's cheating video with a blonde dude.
[My middle school grades were perfectly among the top tier even with just a one night of studying. So I'm confident in myself.]
The voice in his mind wasn't doing anything helpful either. It was replaying yesterday's confidant statement like a broken radio and laughing it's ass out. Making Kiruyin seem even more pathetic.
But a silent resultion appred in his darken, tainted, violently violeted soul.
'No~. This is not the end. I can make a come back. Wait for me exam!! I will fuck you in so many different positions that-... wait. Hold on hold on hold on hold on~~~~!!!!'
Kiruyin suddenly sat straight. Expression vigilant. Eyes full of contemplation. He flailed his hands infront of him in dismissal (mentally).
He reasonlised a critical problem with his threat towards the exam.
'.... What if exam is a guy...? Arreghhhhhh!!!!'
He screamed internally. Losing his mind over the fact the he just wanted to fuck a potential guy...
And the basterd voice in his mind seemed to have gathered a stadium of people to laugh at him. He felt even more embarrassed.
'AAAAHHH!! Is there no lady who is willing to strip me naked suck my blood, soul and cum bry!?'
But unfortunately, there was none and Kiruyin was weathering, thrashing and screaimg agonisingly on the floor clutching his chest(imaginary).
Until, an angelic voice cut through his heart Demon. Destroying it with her soothing, ethereal voice attack.
"Um... Sakiho-kun. Are you alright? You haven't been responding and has been sitting straight from the time you got your results. I'm worried."
"Huh? No!! No. I'm fine I'm fine~. It was just that I received a divine attack-I mean a mental shock seeing the results."
He said and then turned his phone towards her to see. Looking away in shame. Ichinose looked at it then back at Kiruyin before she smiled sweetly and said.
"Then! Sakiho-kun ~~. Do you want to join our study group? I can personally help with Japanese you know~."
"Huh? You will? That- that will be great! Let's go! We should not waste anymore time! Out future depends- I mean. Cough! Ahem! Le-let's go~."
Kiruyin said with fire in his voice before realised that his inner troll was leaking out, so he back tracked and toned down at the end.
'Damn Honashimiay-sensei!! Your Divine Technique: Surprise Quiz Teeeessstttt~~ was good!! It broke through my mental resilience!! I will give you that! Finally a worth opponent!! Watch o' evil of Class-B, who i, Kiru-Kiru the great, counter your techniques! Hmph!'( coping hard.)
"..."
Kiruyin waited everyone to gather with a straight face. Hands inside his pocket as he waited for Ichinose. She had looked surprised when he agreed. Probably not expecting him to agree after all the nonsense he feed her. But she left happily. More than willing to totally integrate him to the class and introduce him to new people.
Which, he did not mind as long as it didn't get annoying.
Everyone has gathered and their destination was the library. Class-B marched with the resolute of soldiers going to war.
