After reading Romeo and Juliet, the teacher handed out a slip of paper to each student.

"This is the study guide for the chapter, it'll help you for your quiz that will be at the end of this unit."

Most of the kids groan in agony. Great. Another quiz.

"Alright. Let's get to work." Tia muttered, picking up her pencil and putting it to the paper.

There was a wave of silence that crossed the room. Only the sound of the pencils scratching the paper were heard.

Marius was the first to finish. He brought his sheet up to the teachers desk, handing it to her and sitting down.

He gazed down at his eraser on the desk, and then glanced at Tia, who was still working diligently.

He picked it up with two fingers. 'This'll teach her to pay attention...' he thought to himself.

Taking in a deep breath, the boy chucked the eraser at the girl.

It sliced through the air.

There was a sudden silence. The boy was utterly shocked. The student all gave out a loud gasp.

'W-What?!' The boy jumped back. 'H-how?!'

'How did he see that coming?! And how did he manage to catch that?!'

Nihon was standing up in front of Tia. He had managed to catch the eraser before he hit her.

Even more impressive, he managed to catch it with...

Chopsticks...?

Tia has just noticed that he was in front of her. "Huh?"

The boy walked over to Marius, the eraser still in his chopsticks. "I believe you dropped this." He plopped the eraser atop of his desktop, turning around to walk back to his seat.

Marius still couldn't process what had just happened. "Where did you even pull those out of?!" He spoke of utter disbelief.

The boy turned around slowly with a shadow covering his face. His expression suddenly lights up. "What do you mean? I always have a pair of chopsticks on me." Nihon itches the back of his head.

"I can't believe it..." a kid beside Marius muttered. His name was Tojo. Tojo Nanami. He was known throughout the school as a nerd. However, he was a very bright and intelligent person. He had pale pink hair that parted in the middle, one side having bangs, the other side swept behind his ear. Along with his glasses, his noticeable features were his royal blue eyes.

"H-how did you do that?!" He hollers at Nihon, stunned

Nihon shrugs. "I don't know, I guess adrenaline kicked in?" He softly chuckled.
