The Midterms (Part 2)

"If it isn't my favourite Boya-san! Why do you look so depressed today?"

"It's because you're here." I began to walk away. I really didn't want to deal with her.

"Aw... don't be so rude." Yogen grabbed me by the sleeve and held onto my arm. She whispered into my ear, "You're much cuter when you're less hostile."

"The same old seduction tricks won't work on me..."

No, they were definitely working on me. I tried to ignore her attitude towards me, but it was getting harder and harder to get a grip on myself.

Constantly whenever we see each other, Yogen always ends up trying her best to make a mockery out of me by teasing me. I've grown to become sick of it.

"So, about that offer—"

"Denied. I don't want a relationship."

"The one about eating sweets at the cafe, dummy..." Yogen pouted.

I was jumping to conclusions already... what was this woman doing to my head?

"Still no."

I decided to take a firm stance against her.

"Fine~ feel free to contact me though if you do want to go." Yogen let go of me, winked, and whisked away.

Even if I wanted to go, I'm saving my private points for something else.

As everyone began to clear out, I was one of the few people left behind. No, I was the only student to still be here long after the exams were finished.

In the end, I still couldn't find the courage to talk to Yukina. I watched her slip away as usual, and I self-lamented on my uselessness.

I left the exam hall and returned to the main campus.

(Mitsuba's POV)

Welp. I was in the gymnasium, sitting down with six other students. Plus side? I wasn't the only one who got disqualified. Down side? I got disqualified.

At least I managed to drag an A Class student with me. Suck on that, Mitsumori! It's your fault for telling me to shut up and be quiet when I asked you for a pen!

I learned after the fact I got disqualified I could've asked the invigilator for a pen. Oops.

Regardless, I wasn't the only dummy here. Kouji brought his phone with him. Terasaka was whistling in the exam hall. Kamuro, Esumi and Daita were all caught talking.

I wasn't too worried. Sure, a zero on our papers sucked, but it was the first midterm. Big deal, who cares.

Except...

We had to sit here in the gymnasium for two hours. Doing absolutely nothing. While Hiden-sensei over-watched us. I nearly fell asleep.

Mitsumori tried to talk to his homeroom teach, but Hiden-sensei wasn't having it. Yeah, when you're an A Class student getting disqualified, I think you deserve to be in E Class, amirite?

This is my new strategy. To bring Mitsumori down to the bottom of the dumps with me! I'll sacrifice my exam scores for the greater good of 1st Year society! I have nothing to lose, since I only have two points!!

I wasted ten points on more cards... Everyone in the group chat said I was a failure...

My little sister would be proud of me. Yessiree.

"Alright, time to take you seven to the student council room. Feel free to try and appeal there. Otherwise, accept your fate of disqualification." Hiden-sensei smiled.
