Cermin could see the baffled look Ronin was giving on his little gift basket, which he took great care of arranging neatly and wrapping with with a little gold bow and a note saying 'Good luck on exams!!! You can do it!'.
He scratched his head.
"Er, I know it seems weird at first..... But from where I'm from, all these things have meaning to give us good luck during exams!"
"I see....."
Ronin actually knew what they all meant.
They were exam traditions in China, where Min Cheng was from.
'This idiot.....'
'Why is he practicing Chinese traditions in a medieval fantasy setting!????'
Cermin proceeds to explain each gift on the basket one by one.
"Apples sounds like the word for 'safety' from where I'm from, and so it's like 'safety' during the exams! Getting a safe grade and not failing!"
"Kiwis sounds like 'easy to pass', and cashews are also 'wishes to pass'!"
