25 - Let's Work Hard!

In conclusion of the happy, cheerful festival...

"First semester exams begin next week!♡" Narumi sensei says as he smiles cheerfully to his students of 2-B who are now screaming from shock.

And that marks the beginning of hell.

"AHHHH! I HATE EXAMS!!!!" Mikan groans while clutching her head in despair. "Well, basically for idiots like you" Hotaru remarks, resulting to Koko and his friend to laugh at Mikan.

"Eh? Sakura is an idiot?"

"Is she stupider than me?" Koko asks as they laugh at Mikan who is now crying.

"Mikan, test aren't all that bad" Sawa says as she approached them. "Yeah, if you work hard and rank high in the grades for this test.." Iinchou started, seeing Mikan devastated.

"You could be a candidate for the Best Student Award" Sawa continues which later got Mikan booed by Koko and his friends. "Whaaat? There's no way!" they exclaim, making Mikan speechless by how sync they are in insulting her.

"Well, beside that, the Best Student Award has two winners which is categorized by male and female for each grade. Winners will have a trip back home for a week!" Iinchou exclaims, smiling after seeing Mikan getting pumped up again.

"They also got a month's worth of shopping coupons in Central Town" Hotaru butts in, her eyes brighten up just from the mention of this prize, knowing exactly what she wants if she won it.

'If I study, and get a high grade..I can see grandpa!' Mikan thought to herself. "I'm going to work hard and study right now!!" Mikan exclaims excitedly and then they formed a study group consist of Iinchou, herself, Luca and Sawa.

"Oh, then...if there's something you don't understand, ask me, okay?" Iinchou says brightly as they started. "I don't understand any of it.." Mikan mutters, tears streaming down her cheeks as she was shaking up while as Luca was looking down, thinking how did he got there.

"Huh? Imai is not studying with them?"

"No, apparently she turned them down and got Luca-kun instead"

"Well, Imai turning that idiot (Mikan) is normal but where is Mia-san?" Koko asks, realizing the older twin is not within that group study. "Ehh? Are both Sakuras are idiots?" Someone says which annoyed a certain Gravity Manipulation Alice user.

Koko and his friend got pinned onto the floor, feeling the heavy gravity on top of them. "If you're searching for Mia, she's in the junior division right now" Sawa says before releasing her Alice off them.

"Eh? What is she doing there?" Iinchou asks, shouldn't she be studying or teaching Mikan as of now?

"Our senpais from Latent Ability Class asked for her help in their studies so she went to the junior division" Sawa explains making everyone gawked at her statement.

"Onee-chan was already a junior high student in her previous school and she skipped grades" Mikan slowly answers which shock everyone who heard her. "EHHH?! SHE'S A BORN GENIUS?!"

"Now that you mention it, Mia-chan was from a prestigious boarding school, right?" Anna asks, she joins in the study group with Nonoko.

"Yeah.." Mikan says slowly, she looks down a bit. "Mikan-chan, are you okay? You look a bit down" Nonoko asks her but before anyone else could detect it, she covered it with a smile.

"Then, Mia-chan has the chance of getting the Best Student Award!" Iinchou exclaims, everyone agreed with him. Having a genius like Mia in their class means they already have one winner!
