♛HE [16] : STUDYING♛

The middle exam terms are closing in, the Class 3-E students were studying like the house is on fire. While studying, Sugino received a phone call from his friend from the main campus, Shindo.

"Hey what's up? Haven't seen you since the tournament." he greeted.

"Yeah—hell of a game. I'm worried you might not be able to step in High School" Shindo said from the other line.

"Still high and mighty, huh?" he sighed.

"So listen...Class A is in a conference room for a study session, with them are the geniuses called the Big Five" Shindo said.

"Shindo, I-Is that you announcing?" Sugino was flabbergasted.

"Yeah—I've always wanted to try announcing, anyways...the most dangerous and top spot is—"

Asano Gakushū, the 1st place top student of Kunigigaoka junior high, thus his the principle's only son. With his features, intellect, and strategic mind is well known throughout the country.

"Right now our goal isn't to get out of the Class E." Sugino said as he looked at his classmates with a smile on his face.

"We will beat Class A's points, watch us, okay? We'll put up a real fight!"

"Knock yourself out. The Class E's fight isn't my problem" Shindo huffed.

Then the call ended from the other line as they went back in studying.

"Hey Angel, I've been wondering—who gave you that scarf?" Nagisa asked.

"Eh, This scarf...?" Angel asked, grabbing on the fabric.

"Hmm-mmh." he hummed.

Angel was taken back to Nagisa's question as she thought about the person who gave it to her.

"It must be from someone really precious to you..." Nagisa said.

"Precious to me...?" Angel asked.

Then a unknown young boy's face flashed through her head where she obtained the scarf took place, yet...

"I can't remember, before I knew it—it's always been with me!" she said.

"You can't remember?" he asked.

"Yes, but it's like what you said—it's precious." she smiled.

"If your memories are precious to you, why did you forget about them in the first place?"

"Principle, I have been raising the scores just as you want...are you satisfied?"

"Asano-kun, what I need are the results. Reporting without results is meaningless—All students in main campus occupies the top 50 and best all five subjects."
