Chapter 20 On the eve of the monthly exam
"That's all for today's class, I hope you can go back and prepare for tomorrow's monthly test." Professor Kulonos put away the lecture materials and spoke to the students in the class.
Hearing that class was over, the students in the classroom began to get up and leave in twos and threes.
"What should I do, tomorrow is the monthly exam. But I wasn't ready at all. Maruto Sho grabbed his hair with both hands and said in distress.
The ten generations sitting next to him didn't have any trouble with him, patted Kairen in front of him on the shoulder as usual, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, Kairen." ”
"Yes." Keiin put his notes away and got up to agree.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the classroom, they saw a shadow standing in front of them, and when they saw Qiren coming, the shadow was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward, it was Asuka.
"That...... Thank you so much for last night......" Asuka said to Keihito with a little twist, her face slightly lowered, not daring to make eye contact with Kein.
After last night's duel, Asuka accidentally stumbled and fell into the water. Fortunately, Qiren desperately jumped into the water and rescued her. In fact, Asuka, who received a gifted education since childhood, can swim. But because she was caught off guard from falling into the water, and the lake water was too cold, she couldn't come back to her senses at once, so she choked on the water. Thinking about it now, Asuka feels a little ashamed.
"It's okay, that's what I should do," Kihito said as plainly as ever, but he was actually very surprised in his heart, Asuka who was not friendly to him before, and now the change is too big, "Ahem......"
"What's wrong, are you sick?" Hearing Keihito coughing, Asuka raised her head and asked with some concern.
"Some colds, out of the way." Qiren touched his nose with his hand, not caring about the way. After falling into the water to save people yesterday, my clothes were soaked, and when I returned to the dormitory, the cold wind blew all the way, so I couldn't help but catch a little cold.
"I'm really sorry, I have an exam tomorrow, but I made you sick......" Asuka lowered her head again when she heard this, and blamed herself.
Faced with such an Asuka, Kairen didn't know what to do, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, he thought about it, and felt that he should be comforted, so he said: "It's okay, it's just a monthly exam." Moreover, I may be able to recover from this minor illness tomorrow. ”
"Yes...... Asuka muttered suspiciously, and then seemed to remember something, and added, "By the way, I'll give it back to you." As he spoke, he took out a hat from behind him.
It was the cap that Ki-in had been wearing before. Yesterday, Qiren went into the water in a hurry and did not take off his hat, so that the hat was taken away by the lake. Qiren didn't bother to search around in the middle of the night because of a hat, so he just gave it up and went back to the dormitory. I didn't expect Asuka to find this hat.
"Eh, did you get it back...... "Kiein said in surprise.
"Well...... I see that you wear it all the time and think it will be something important, ...... to you"
"Actually, it doesn't mean much...... I'm sorry for you. Kiin took the hat and put it on habitually. This was just a habit that the owner of his body had always had, and he kept it, and now, it seems to have become a habit of his.
"No, no, no, I bothered you last night......" Asuka pursed her lips and glanced at Keihito and said, "Then, I'll go first...... Junko and Momoe are still waiting for me. ”
"Uh, oh." Qiren was stunned and said.
"Come on for tomorrow's exam, Kai In-kun!" Asuka turned around and waved her hand.
"Do your best...... Yes. Keihito waved his hand and said in a voice that was not soft, and I don't know if Asuka heard it.
……
In the evening, in Osiris's dormitory, Ki-in is sitting at his desk, with a lamp, reading the notes he usually takes in class.
Although the content can be said to be familiar to me, before the exam, Qiren still carefully reviewed it just in case.
His attitude towards exams was not as casual as that of Judai.
The Duel Academy's exams were still able to test something, plus Asuka cheered him on.
If you don't do well in the exam, maybe Asuka will feel guilty because of the cold.
"Uchida-kun really worked hard." Kazuo Sato said with a cup of hot water in his tone of admiration. Then, he turned his face to look at Shunsuke Nakamura, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Shunsuke, don't you read the notes, can you prepare?" ”
"Hmph, those things, what's there to remember." Shunsuke Nakamura said with disdain on his face, "Tomorrow's exam, more important is the actual combat part." It doesn't matter what the written test is. ”
"But ......," Kazuo Sato said with a worried look on his face.
"With my strength, I will definitely be able to take the first place in Osiris, and then, I will be able to ascend to the yellow of the sun god."
Hearing his best friend's arrogant words, Kazuo Sato couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't forget to travel to the city for ten generations." He had beaten Professor Koulonos in the entrance exam, and now he was the most favored person in all of Osiris. ”
"That kind of guy is all about luck. How could it be my opponent in a real fight! Shunsuke Nakamura knew that Keihito, who was reading a book on the sidelines, had a very good relationship with Toyo, but he still said without scruples.
"Shunsuke ......"
Listening to the conversation between the two not far away, Qiren didn't say a word and continued to look at his notes.
Through this period of contact, he can be regarded as having figured out the personalities of his two roommates. Shunsuke Nakamura, who speaks arrogantly and has a short temper, has always been obsessed with his separation into the Osiris dormitory, and he hardly treats anyone. Of course, Qiren couldn't look at his face, so the two barely communicated. And Kazuo Sato, who wears glasses and looks simple, is a typical good old man. I often want to adjust and ease the atmosphere in the dormitory, but neither Nakamura nor Keihito is interested in this.
Tomorrow's exam is divided into two parts, written and practical, which is the same as the entrance exam, but it is certain that the difficulty will never be at one level.
The written part is okay, but in actual combat, it seems to be a civil war between the dormitories.
Based on the results of the two, those who excel can be promoted to the higher level of dormitory, and those who fail have to fall into the secondary dormitory. Of course, people like the Osiris Red Dormitory don't have any more dangers, so you can rest assured and just sprint hard. While the Yellow of the Sun God and the Blue of Oberisk have to fight for their relegation.
"Tomorrow it seems that Kolonos will make an exception for the tenth generation, and let him face off against each other. I don't know who my opponent will be, but if nothing else, it should be a student of the same Osiris. Kiin thought and closed the notebook.
"In that case, it doesn't seem to be difficult."
