Morning had come sooner than Rai had expected. One minute he was on the phone texting his friends and girlfriend then the next, he was waking up with his phone on his chest. Hearing knocking at his door he struggled to get out of bed. He felt really stiff, due to him falling asleep in a bad position and the feeling annoyed him. He had many nights were he just fell asleep in whatever position he was in and couldn't recall the next day how he ended up that way. Heading towards the door he decided to play it safe and ask who was behind the door. He didn't want another Mina incident.

"It's me honey. Time to get up for school. Your exams are today." his mother said from behind the door.

'Shit she's right. Today is the day for the exams. I completely forgot.'

With that thought, he rushed to get ready for the day.

'This....is...going to be...so FREAKING EASY'! 

Rai, to his credit was practically zooming through the written exams. The solutions and answers were coming back to him so fast he thought he was dreaming for a second. He reminded himself to thank Izuku and Iida for helping him. He was sure Iida would be very proud to know he helped him. He was kind of on a little achievement high, seeing as he didn't have trouble with the written exam. It only increased when he realized that he was the third person to hand in the finished test besides Yaoyarozu and Iida. He tried very hard to hide his smile.

While waiting for the rest of his class to finish, he decided to reflect on the training he put himself through during his days of studying. So far thanks to his little training sessions, he was able to increase the time limit of his perception slow down, making the limit go up another ten more seconds. While not a lot, it was better than it going up only by a mere second. He informed Izuku and All Might about his upgrade during the time and they were surprised at his increase in ability in such a short while. Thinking about it made him more than giddy about showing off in the physical exams, fighting against robots wouldn't be a problem at all. 

Looking around the classroom he saw that nearly half of the class was finished with the written exam. The only ones left were Kaminari, Mina, Sero, Sato, and Koda. Seeing his girlfriend struggle a little with her test was somewhat uneasy for him. As if on que, Mina lifted her head up from the desk and looked in front of her. Mr. Aizawa was in his chair slumped over in his sleeping bag. With that she turned to her attention to Rai, like she could sense that he was looking in her direction. They stared at each other for a few seconds, then Mina winked at him. He was confused for a minute, but then he saw her hold up her test paper with at him with a thumbs up. It was to signal him that she was done with her test and that he shouldn't worry. Catching on to the jester, he nod his head in reassurance. Mina proceeded to get up from her desk and hand the paper over.

"I'm very honored that my tutoring helped you with your test Kusanagi. If you ever need help again, don't hesitate to ask." Iida said.

"Thanks Iida. I'll remember that." replied Rai

"Its great that you remembered the answers on the test Rai, I have no doubt that everyone did a good job on the test." Izuku said.

Out of nowhere Mina came up behind Rai and wrapped her arms around his torso and placed her chin on his shoulder.

"That's my Nagi for you. Massive big brain energy. I'm so proud of you babe." finishing her sentence with a kiss on cheek.

"I should be saying that to you. It looked liked you were in trouble a little while you were taking the test." Rai replied.

"I won't lie, I did find a few questions hard, but I can confidently say I at least passed the writing part of the exam. Now it's time for the second part of the exam, the easier of the two."
