Chrono x Tokoha : The Challenges

Turn 16: Decided

Chrono wanted to push his studies after he received the offer from Aichi. Usually he will study on Thursday and Friday but this time he wants to study from Monday until Friday. Chrono told Shion and the others about this, except Tokoha...

Their relationship after the incident...well it's not bad but it's not good either. No progress whatsoever, they still talk like they used to but there are times where they're just a bit awkward...

Shion: "Alright, I guess that will do for today."

Chrono: "Yeah!" I feel confident now... looks like it's the right decision to study every weekday...

Tokoha: "I guess I'll go now..."

Chrono: "Oh right, be careful Tokoha!"

Tokoha: (Smiling) "I will."

She then left the shop...

Kazuma: "You both look like strangers these days..."

Kamui: "Even though you both still talk to each other like usual..."

Taiyou: "It feels different..."

Kumi: "That's right..."

Shion: "Well can you blame them both? After what all the things that happened..."

Chrono: "As much as I want to walk her home, I'll just make a mess again... and I still can't stand her father..."

Shion: "Which means you haven't tell her yet? About this America offer..."

Chrono: "Not yet and I'll not tell her once I got accepted."

Shion: "So you're planning to go the same path as her? Going abroad?"

Chrono: "If I got accepted then there's a possibility that will happen."

Kumi: "You both will be even more far away then..."

Sometimes Chrono thought to himself that maybe that's the most logical decision. He can focus on his future first and Tokoha as well. He might also need some time to forgive her father and going to some place far away from him might be a good idea...

Kazuma: "When is the test again?"

Chrono: "Next week..."

Shion: "So you have one week left."

Chrono: "That's right, that means we have to push... everyone, I'm counting on you all!"

Kazuma: (Smiling) "You know we always got you back!"

Taiyou: "Definitely!"

Kamui: "Without a doubt!"

Shion: "Well then..." (Smiling)

The test will be an online test, consist of almost every subjects that Chrono has learned for almost a year now. Of course the test will be in English so that itself will be a challenge...

The test day has come, Chrono himself has been waiting for this moment to come. For a few weeks he has been pushing on his study with Shion and the others...

The test itself is very challenging and really one of those tests where he has to use his brain more to solve the issues. He might have studied very hard but it's still a bit too much to his liking...

Meanwhile Tokoha and Kumi went to a cafe near Card Capital 2...

Kumi: "So next week you'll return to Paris?"

Tokoha: "Yeah... to be honest I really enjoy my time here in Japan but..."

Kumi: "Shindou huh..."

Tokoha: "And my father as well. It's like... I'm so happy that we are together after all this time but then knowing how it went a day later really breaks my heart."
