No one knows ayanokoji's past.

Chapter 28

Why is the chairman supervising our special exam? I am sure that our teachers are the ones to supervise the special exam, it was all stated in the explanation paper.

I observed the students in my surrounding starting from Hiyori, and noticed the lack of skepticism in their faces'.

"You have 2 hours. Toilet breaks are allowed. You can finish before the allotted time, if and only if the two parties agreed to stop."

"Start."

Following his words, some students started to ask questions, like 'How were grades in middle school?', 'Are you bad at  sports?'.......

Answering those kind of questions honestly would be an utter folly.
So, the only option is to lie.

Some others avoided the eyes of their opponents similar to Hiyori who is sitting beside me.

"So..... How were you middle school?"

She finally asked, but it was after a series
alteration on her expression.

I don't need to lie....no, rather I must not lie. It is because the information my father has fabricated to make me enroll here. For example, If I say that I am bad at academics, then it will be technically true, because the information that the school has on me is that of a typical defective. I must answer honestly. Honestly, I like it this way.

"I was at the top of my grade. I was also highly athletic, and now that I think about it, no one was above me. I play piano and chess. Not to forget that I speak all UN work languages."

Hiyori's face turned to someone's who saw his cat grow wings and fly.

".....uhh.....is that true?"

Infact, congratulations Hiyori, you are the one who I told truths the most.

"Of course. I don't plan to lie to you, Hiyori."

She looked at me half skeptically, then covered her nose with the intersection of her palms. At that moment I saw something odd and perhaps something that potentially could change how I view this person. But still I am overthinking it, it is what they call my over-meticulous institution.

"I happy you said that, I was thinking the same."

"If that's so, let's talk about a topic we both enjoy."

"......Books?"

Her eyes lit.

"Yeah."

We then proceed to talk about different books, Hiyori's experience with fantasy novels, etc.....
Before we knew it, the students' and the chairman were starting at us.
Hiyori stopped at her tracks and the chairman approached us.

"You two. You know that you have limited time right?"

Hiyori was flustered, so it came to me to answer.

"We know."

"Then--"

"Excuse me chairman, but isn't the role of a supervisor to make sure the rules of the special exam are obeyed? There isn't anything or rule forbidding idle chat, so I see your intervention incoherent."

I finished my statement with the smile he had seen before. It caused him to get awkward.

"I was going to advise you, nothing else."

He then turns to walk back to the podium, but rather...... clumsy.

"Wow~, I thought we would get into trouble...."

"Yeah. So back to 'ዴርቶ ጋዳ', I think the novel is too realistic to be called fantasy.
It might have happened, who knows...."

"Yeah, who knows? Still, it is sad that 'ቅጣው እጅጉ' died, I really loved his character."

Then, we talked a bit more about the novel 'ዴርቶ ጋዳ'.

After 10 minutes or so both of us got tired.

"How about we go out, Hiyori? We still have a hour and 15 minutes."

"I don't mind, but you have to go to the library with me, Ayanokouji."

I smiled at her aggressive side before I accepted her.

"Gladly."

We then got out of the classroom, infact, we were the first ones to do so.

There was several things I had perceived before getting out of the classroom.
One is the strange behavior of some individuals towards me and Hiyori as a pair seated besides each other.
One of the individuals was none other than the chairman. He was glancing repeatedly at me with a wondered expression, and he would get clumsy and unrested when ever my eyes pay a visit to his zone.

Next is Karizawa. She wasn't specifically looking at me rather it was on Hiyori.
At first she looked agitated, but it gradually turned to a visible frustration. I had stopped her from abusing Hiyori one time, but it seems that set her off. I expect that she will try to bully Hiyori, but that is not my business. I helped Hiyori that time because I had the need to asses Karizawa.

And finally Ike and Yamamuchi. They were bluntly looking at us like we are their parents. I don't plan to be excessively heedful toward them, but they could turn out to be confounding factors.

A lot had happened in the 45 minutes me and Hiyori spent in that classroom.

I wonder how is Suzune doing.......
