After intense studying, it was test day. Apparently, master Iruma was able to get some help from Ballam sensei which seemed to help him dearly. Not only that, but after the rest of the misfit class saw us working so hard, they decided to take studying mode seriously too. Therefore,the whole class began a study group.

"The test is now in session. Any talking will have to be counted as cheating." Calligo sensei stated. It was as if those were some sort of magic words. As soon as he finished his sentence, you could hear nothing but the sounds of pencils scratching against paper.

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

"The test has ended. Everyone, drop your pencils." Shortly after that, many sighs and groans were heard.
"Aghhh... I was drowning in sweat that entire time."
"I was so nervous yesterday I couldn't sleep..." Everyone seemed exhausted. Some stress sharing later, people started to brightened up.

"Well... To be honest, I don't think I did bad on the test. Sure I was worried, but after forming the study group, I felt pretty relieved."
"Heh... I couldn't agree more."
"I've never felt so confident in my test answers in my life!" They werent wrong, what they felt was well deserved. With how hard everyone was working, this much is expected. Seeing how happy everyone was, I started to wonder how Iruma did.
Hm.. I'm worried about him. What if he didn't pass? What if he was disappointed in his result? What if-

Hold on. Why am I thinking about someone else's well-being before myself? This... Feels unusual of me. I've never felt this before. Now that I think about it, it all changed after I met master Iruma. Before, I was distant with people. I was a genius. Everyone admired me. But.. No one ever approached me. They were all scared by the power I held. It didn't help that I acted cold and arrogant whenever someone approached me. I was taught that because I was young and smart, people would try to use me for many things. Statues, money, getting on my family's good side, anything really.
But after I met master Iruma, things changed. I guess... Master Iruma changed me, in a way.

A few days have passed, and today is the day we're supposed to get our tests back. Everyone seemed on edge. Even master Iruma! Actually, especially master Iruma. When me and Clara greeted him in the morning, he was... How do I put this? Like a robot? Robotish? Roboting? Well yeah, he was acting in a robot-like way.
His actions were stiff, and he was sweating buckets.
"Good morning master Iruma! Today, I swear I will fulfil the title of friend even more then yesterday!"
"Hey Irumachi! Today, lets play a lot!"
"Y-yeah.. Lets do our best today.. A-as usual of course!! Yep, as usuallll..." Master Iruma avoided eye contact for who knows why. I assumed it was test result jitters and we went on our way.

When we got to school, I looked around a bit to find our classmates nervous in their own ways. You could tell from their... manerisims. One of the students were in a stealing frenzy and kept taking peoples valuables, another student kept harassing the girls. In which, the school committee did not let slide. Some of the other students were nervous in rather normal ways, you know, not stealing and harassing students.

Once we made it to class, everyone was a nervous wreck. Not saying they weren't before entering the class. In their eyes, I can only imagine it was something like not ever being able to see their favorite demdolls. Everyone but me and Clara weren't nervous. Me, because I am confident in my academics. Clara, because, well, er... Its Clara.

"Alright, as you all know, today I will tell you your test results. As well as passing back your papers. And, as you all should be dreading, failing will mean that you will continue going to school over the summer." Everyone mentally gulped. "Now, the people with a non passing grade and will have to take supplementary lessons is

No one."
Everyone bursted into Joy.
"Finally!! Its over!!"
"I've never been so happy to hear those words in my life."
"I...I actually passed!!" Those people celebrating... before, i had never thought people who lost motivation so easily could ever achieve much. But, things have changed. I have changed.

I turned over to Iruma, wanting to see his expression.
His expression, it was as if... His whole world had turned upside down. In a good way. He looked ecstatic. Happy for himself, and everyone else. The smile plastered on his face, I will never forget it. It was of pure, utter joy. He looked so amazing in that moment. So unreachable. So lovley. Never, had I felt so grateful for something in my life.


























Is this how friends are supposed to think of eachother?
