The Ability He Holds

06 - The Gym

After all the other students get their turn to swim, D Class students are now on their way to the gym.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka waits patiently until all the boys in his class finished changing their swimming clothes. It's not that he was embarrassed about his body being seen or something, he just prefers to be alone.

And he's not really comfortable with people being around him while he's not using his clothes, so yeah, that's it anyway.

Inside the room, there's Koenji admiring himself, his own body, on the school's swimming locker room mirror. The others are used to it by now, so they don't really pay any mind to it.

Oh well, it's time for Ayanokouji to change his swimming suits to the sport's uniform.

The gym feels a lot bigger when there's only one class inside. The instructors are observing the students basically ever since they got inside, they didn't mind it.

"Okay, boys here and girls there! Let's finish this fast," said one of the instructors that have... no eyebrows. Again, Ayanakouji Kiyotaka didn't pay any mind to it.

Calling the names randomly, Sudou got called the first. Confident by this test, he nailed every single one of them above average. Running, side to side jumps, grip strength, and ooh, jump rope! Kiyotaka never really uses one, it's quite interesting.

After that, names, names, and other names were called. Inside the Gym, there are only 3 people left. It consists of Karuizawa Kei, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and Sato Maya. Talk of coincidence, really.

"Soo.... What's up?" greets Kei to the both of them, Kiyotaka and Sato, awkwardly.

"I'm good!" exclaimed Sato. She seems to not mind being in between the two lovers... is she?

We don't know.

"Hmm" Kiyotaka nodded his head, with his hands inside his pockets.

The three didn't talk after.

Talk about awkward... huh?

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji left the Gym. With him getting called last by the instructor, no one knows how good he does his test.

Kiyotaka walked quietly, with no footsteps to be heard. Reading the test's score again and again and again, the instructor finally gaped at the boy that he almost lost his sight at.

How shocking...

How crazy...

Is that even, a human?

The instructor shook his head. Seeing how such a mere high school teenager could have these monstrous physical abilities. The instructor proceeds to check the name, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's biodata.

His eyes widen as he saw the boy's 100 math score. But then he sighs while reading the others. It's very much average, barely passes.

Well, all humans have their own problems and flaws after all. He decides to not mind the name Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

"Chabashira-sensei, when will the scores came out?" asked none other than the smart girl, Horikita Suzune.

It is now 5 pm, all of the students were summoned to be at their own classes.

"Hm... Since all of the years are joining the exam as well, it's going to take quite long. Probably tomorrow." answered Chabashira, while looking at her students.

"Huh? Isn't tomorrow's like...too fast?" asked Hasabe Haruka.

"Oh, no. This is the exam given by the governments after all. There are many people checking your answer sheets. Who knows, the score could probably be out an hour later, two hours?" said Chabashira, still looking at her students.

"What..." muttered Ike.

"I'm not even ready yet..." muttered Kei.

The class that was before full of silence, now filled with whispers by the students.

"Huh, that's good. Since that little girl from class A sucks physically, it's my time to shine as number one," said Koenji out loud, while looking in the mirror.

That... could be true, is the class's thoughts. Quite different with what Chabashira-sensei's currently thinking, though. No one knows what she was thinking, obviously.

"Well, I think that Suzune's doing her best," said Sudou. The others sighed hearing him.

"In your dreams, Koenji. We all know that Hirata's the only one that will be in the first place!" said... who knows? it's one of Hirata's fangirls, that's for sure.

"Matsushita's doing really good, aren't you? you don't even look really stressed after the academic exam yesterday!" said Satou, face turned to Matsushita, smiling widely.

Matsushita flinched.

She still smiles, though.

"Well, I think it's really surprising to see Ayanokouji swimming, moreover wins against Koenji and Sudou. Shocking, isn't it?" said Horikita.

Others nodded, agreeing to what the girl said.

"You're also great at swimming, Suzune!" said Sudou, praising his crush again.

"Well still, I think that none of the girls are as good at swimming as I am." it's Onodera, the girl that's on the school's swimming club.

"Oh, yes! You did amazing there, Onodera-san!" said one of Onodera's group of friends.

Satou sighs.

I guess, the rumors about Satou not liking the girl was true after all...

Notifications popped out from everyone's phones. They were still in class, listening to Chabashira-sensei's boring lecture about the school and the governments.

"Huh... what's this?" said Yukimura, seeing a document was sent to him. Oh, it was sent to everyone else as well.

Opening the documents, the sudden whispers stopped. The students looked like they were petrified by some sort of a ghost.

Or... a monster, probably?
