Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: Surprise Test

Your choice to read this, it may be boring.

Miura Yumiko POV:

Three weeks had gone by pretty fast and so far things have been going well and I've been having fun. But things are soon going to pick up and get more interesting and fun in a weeks time, as that'll be the day for the S-system revelation. I'm currently on 78,059 points which good. I probably have the third or second most points in the class right now. The only ones saving their points and not using it carelessly are me, Ayanokouji and Horikita. Possibly Koenji as well as he is in class D after all and he knows we wont receive points next month. I still don't get what he does behind the scenes in the school. That's if he does anything.

Second period had just went, and to no ones surprise, everyone didn't pay attention to the lesson except a select few like Yukimura. Few people were talking about Karuizawa and Hirata dating. It does seem normal, but at the same time it seems too quick. However there's no way anyone would doubt, since they're always together.

Right now, we're waiting for Chiyabashira Sensei and speak of the devil, she's here. "Quiet down a little, please. Today's lesson will be a bit serious."

"What do you mean, Sae-chan-sensei?" Oh yeah, they were that lazy, that they couldn't bother to say her last name, considering it is a mouthful, so everyone is calling her by her first name.

"It's the end of the month, so we're going to have a short test. Please pass these to the back."

She handed out the papers to the students in the front row and they passed it backwards. I remember this, there should be 20 questions and the last three questions are the hardest.

"Huh? I wasn't listening, though. This is so unfair!" While a student cried out, using a pathetic excuse. I had skimmed through the paper and looked through all the questions. As I thought, I could easily answer this in just under 20 minutes.

"Don't say that. This test is just for future reference. It won't be reflected in your report cards. There is no risk involved, so don't worry. Of course, cheating is prohibited." I could score zero if I want to, but I'll just end up drawing curious gazes and questions from everyone on why?

I decided the score the same amount as I did on every subject on the entrance exam. Once I was done, I decided to stare at my test paper paper, which made me look like I was lost in thought, but in reality, I was actually imagining a chess board and was moving the pieces and playing against myself. I remember the first time of me trying to attempt this and it wasn't easy. It took a while to get used to it and try to remember every piece.

Playing chess reminds me of Sakayanagi Arisu. A fellow natural born genius. Maybe I should introduce myself early to her and be friends that occasionally play chess together. I'll leave it to you readers.

Time skip:

I was currently with Matsushita and apparently we're going to hang out with Kushida and some people, but I didn't wanna and apparently whining didn't work with her and she ended up dragging me out. She said I'll thank her once we get there, but I know there's no way I'd say thank you. I'd rather spend time trying to get Ayanokouji to try cake for the first time or tease him about his body and his thoughts about me at the pool. I still haven't done that yet.

When we made it over, my eyes lightened up and went wide for a second as I saw Ayanokouji there, with Ike and Yamauchi. Matsushita caught me and grinned but I looked over to her and gave an innocent expression before shrugging.

"Is it too late to go?" Matsushita sighed, knowing I'm lying to her. I've gotten close to her already to the point she can read me. Or is it that I'm more readable when it's to do with Ayanokouji?

"Don't try it." I sighed in fake disappointment, but internally I was happy as I knew what I was gonna do know.

"Sorry for being late, but thanks for waiting!" Kushida had finally arrived and it seems she brought Karuizawa and Hirata.

I waved over to Karuizawa as a greeting and I could see her expression lighten up when looking at me after looking at Ike and Yamauchi. She probably expects me to do something to them. But I'm not in the mood, I'll just say something cold towards them.

"Oh, no worries, Kushida-chan! Hey, wait a second, why are they here?!" Like the simp Ike was, he was jumping up and down excitedly, then immediately fell to the ground. How low could they embarrass themselves? Were they this bad in the LN.

"Oh, I just happened to run into them on the way, so I thought I'd invite them along. Was that not okay?"

Ike suddenly put an arm over Ayanokouji's shoulder, which ticked me off a little and started whispering to him and Yamauchi. While this was happening, Kushida took this moment to acknowledge my presence.

"Eh?! Miura-san, you're here, I thought you weren't gonna come." Hmmm, what should I say?

"Ah, sorry it's just." I glance over the the three boys to make sure they can't hear. However it seems Ayanokouji is listening in, I can tell he's looking at us through his peripheral vision. "That time of the month."

Kushida immediately nodded in understanding. I then look to my right and see Hirata uncomfortable with what we're talking about.

"Oh, sorry Hirata I had forgotten you were there."

"No no, it's okay." I nodded and all of us looked back at the trio and Hirata decided to call them out.

"Um, if we're a bother, perhaps we can just go separately?" He said in a reserved tone.

"W-we don't really mind at all, do we? Right, Yamauchi?"

"Y-yeah. Let's all go together. The more the merrier, you know. Right, Ike?"

"Well, obviously, that was the idea. Why are you three whispering about us?" Karuizawa's words made me giggle softly, while looking at Ayanokouji because he was lumped in with those two. He seemed to have noticed this and sighed.

Soon we started walking and making our way to wherever we're going. Ike then brought up a question, which caught everyone's attention. He had asked if Hirata was dating Karuizawa and they had confirmed it.

I was feeling kind of happy walking next to Ayanokouji, until the perverts ruined it. "Kushida-chan, Miura-chan, do you both have a boyfriend?"

"Me? Oh, no, unfortunately," Kushida answered first, which made both of them break out into happy grins. They then turned to me but froze, seeing my cold, sharp eyes, looking at them as if they'd die if they move.

"Don't get your hopes up, perverts." They both gulped immediately and I think it was my imagination, but I think I heard Ayanokouji gulp as well. What am I saying, this is Ayanokouji I'm talking about.

After that, I continued walking and the only one who followed after a few seconds was Karuizawa. When I turned around, I looked at them with an innocent, confused face.

"Hmm, is something wrong. Let's go, I don't want to waste anymore time." They hesitantly nodded and followed me, probably wondering how my attitude could change so quick.

'Scary'-everyone thought.

After a little walking, everyone was trying to decide on we're to go, but it was getting boring. I decided to message Ayanokouji if he 'wanted to ditch them and watch a new movie that came out in the cinemas.' It took him a while before he responded 'okay, but how?' All I did was simply grab his hand and walked away and nobody noticed. It was that easy.

We let go of our hands, much to my dismay and I messaged Matsushita a 'thank you' and she should know what to do to handle the group. The rest of the day I hung out with Ayanokouji and I was finally able to tease him about the pool.

"You know, if you ask, I wouldn't mind showing you." He just sighed knowing I wouldn't let this go soon.
