——-Arakawa Kouki's Perspective——

Today, we are having our first test in the academy. depending on how fast we complete this test, the number of hours of lectures we must attend will change.

In this academy, in order to advance in one's field of expertise, individual curricula are put together.

At the start of every year, students take an examination, and students with high scores in certain subjects will have those subject exempt from their curriculum. For example, Saitou-kun is extremely skilled in electrical engineering so he would be exempt from Mathematics and Computer courses.

As for Alice-chan, since pharmaceuticals are her field of expertise, she would be exempt from taking chemistry, English and German, I think.

By the way, as for me.... ....I have no strong points!

Though with that said, I don't think I'd be able to keep up with this academy's classes anyways.

Should I give up gracefully?

No, I've finally made some friends, I should try my best.

Recently Alice has been sending me email nearly every night......after all that I don't want to do something like leaving the academy.

And there's Saitou-kun too.....

So I studied intensely. I only had Saturday and Sunday, but I pulled out an old textbook and studied it!

And on the first day of testing....

「..............」

I can't read the questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh? Why are the questions even in English?

If you ask me a math question in English like that, How the hell should I know what to do?!!

What are you, stupid? I'm far from bilingual!

Though it is called the International Language, so I guess if it'd be used anywhere, here would be the place.

Ah, That's right. this place is called 『International Institute of Technology』Isn't it? (Formerly translated as State Technology Academy)

That's right isn't it, English is obviously the standard isn't it.

But you know, why aren't we all using English in normal conversations?

I mean, even in classes shouldn't the teacher be teaching in English?

Though if they had used it I would have been troubled.....

Having such a thought, I look at the test before me.

「Na, Nah-meh?..... no, name huh」

I probably found where I should write my name, but whether I'm right or not I'm not sure. No, you get me right? For example, when you are trying to access a 'pink' site intended for adults, and a link suddenly throws you into a page where everything is written in english!

You wouldn't quite know what you are supposed to do at that time, right?

That! That's how I feel right now.

But I can't use the Browser's 'back' button in this situation, so in the end I am severely troubled.

Looks like I'm gonna have to turn in a blank paper..... I decided.
