Chapter 5

    I totally forgot. The shining beauty was in my math class. So that's why there was that huge crowd the first day. Because she was here. Hmph. You all can fangirl over her as much as you want, but I know something that none of you know. The fact that Hinako Yua was an otaku. Hmm. Maybe...

    'And don't talk to me, trash.'

    "..."

    I still remember that. Huh. I still haven't gotten back at her for calling me that, did I? Hehe. Hehehehehehe! Alright. I'll use that to expose her.

    "For the future, remember the basic square roots. This will save you ample time when your exam time comes. For example, the square root of two-hundred twenty-five is fifteen. The square root of one-hundred forty-four is twelve."

    Man. Can this class get any more boring? I glanced up at the clock to see that we were only a quarter of the way through class. Tch. At this rate, I might fall asleep and Yua will leave the classroom before I get the chance. Hmm...

    "..."

    From where I'm sitting and where she's sitting. It might work.

    "Shichi Arima. What is the square root of sixteen?"

"Four."

"Correct."

    But first. I have to see if she'd even react. There's a chance she might not even acknowledge it and I'll just look like a huge idiot. Okay. I'll-.

    "Hayake Sunao. What is the square root of eighty-one?"

    Take this chance and use it!

    "Potemkin."

    "Pfft!"

    A strange sound came from the area where the shining beauty was sitting. Well, exactly where she was sitting. So she got that reference? I'm surprised. I didn't expect her to get a reference that uncommon.

    "Po-...temkin? Ahem. Please keep your jokes after class, Hayake-san. Now, please answer the question."

    She's barely keeping herself together. Alright. Since she got that one, she'll definitely laugh at this.

    "Gal Undo."

    "Pffft! *Snicker!*"

    "Hinako-san?"

    "Ah."

    Everyone was staring at her while I was smiling triumphantly. Luckily, I doubt anyone here got the reference, but...

    "I-Is everything okay?"

    "Y-Yes."

    Hehehe! She's so embarrassed! Look how red she is! Ah. But I should probably answer the question before the teacher snaps. His face is starting to turn red too.

    "Nine... is the answer."

    The teacher took a deep breath as his face turned back to its regular color.

    "Yes, well. That's correct. But next time, please just answer the question rather than starting unnecessary drama."

    "Yes, sir."

    I glanced over at Yua, and she was hiding her face from those staring at her. Kinda got that 'why is this happening to me' look going on. Fufu. This is kinda fun. Making a queen this embarrassed.

    "Well, class."

    Eh? What's going on?

    "Since Hayake-san is in the mood to be making jokes, I think this is a good time to bring up that..."
