The next day.
It was finally time for the results of the exams to be revealed.
"Huu... Huu... Huu..."
Kiera sat in her seat with her eyes closed. Though she was trying her best, she was unable to stop herself from breathing heavily.
She was nervous.
Very nervous.
After all, she was going to see whether her efforts had paid off or not. The fact that failure would mean expulsion didn't mean much to her.
No, that was a lie.
It did mean something.
However, when taking into account that this had been the very first time she had actually tried to do well in an exam, that concern seemed rather irrelevant to her.
For once, she wanted her effort to be acknowledged.
"Huuu..."
"Can you stop?"
"....Uh?"
Kiera blinked and looked to the side.
Josephine, sitting a few spaces to her right was glaring at her.
"What are you, in heat? I can't focus when you're breathing so heavily!"
