5 Way over the expectation

(A/N Notes: Nothing to say here)

It has been a week since school started and today was the physical and magical test day, that the school did every year, and obviously Itsuki and Ichi were participating in the respective gender exams, Itsuki for the boys and Ichi for the girls

"So why are all the boys outside?" (Itsuki)

"Huh? Didn't you know that today is the physical and magical tests?" (Ken)

"No!" (Itsuki)

"Thought so" (Ken)

To put it simply both exams are to see how healthy the students' bodies and mana are, while also doubling as measures for their physical education grades, though the second one is generally only used by the sport clubs

"By the way why are those guys so hyped up?" (Jin)

"Ah! Those guys are the physically better ones, and the other group is of the guys better at magic" (Jin)

Jin pointed at the group consisting of ogres, onis, minotaurs, and so on for the muscle head group. And at the group consisted of fairies, elves, and incubus for the magic head group

"I see... So they're the guys who want to show off their specs?"

" "... Yeah, you can say that" " (Ken/Jin)

"*Loud whistle sound* Alright, everyone! Line up and start running in laps until I until only one of you remain standing" (P.E teacher)

And with that everyone stopped talking, and line up to run in laps, when the teacher blew the whistle again, everyone started running

A few laps later

"Haa... Haa... Haa..." (Fairy male student)

"Haa... Gah!... Haa..." (Elf male student)

"... ... ... *Too tired to be conscious*" (Incubus student)

The group consisting of elves, fairies, and other students of not so physically apt races, were quick to lose breath and form piles of tired bodies on the side of the track course

"Huuuff... Huuuff... Huuuff..." (Ken)

"Haaaa... Haaaa... Haaaa..." (Jin)

"*Rhythmiccally humming*" (Itsuki)

Ken and Jin were managing to keep up with the physical group, but they were rapidly joining the magic group, Itsuki on the other hand, wasn't even sweating, and steadily increasing the gap between him and his two friends

"!..." *Turns and keep running backward as you see Ken and Jin collapsing on the ground* (Itsuki)

More laps later

After more laps were run, even the members of the physical group started faltering, with only Itsuki and a big and red oni kept running

"Hm! You're pretty good to keep with me" (Red oni)

"Thanks!" (Itsuki)

"So how about we start running faster to see who yields first?" (Red oni)

"Sure!"(Itsuki)

And with that he and the red oni started running even faster, with him increasing his speed continuously, while the red oni tried to keep up with him but only ended up tiring himself more, until he also collapsed on the track, while Itsuki kept running without any signal of getting tired, instead, he only appeared to be getting more energetic and faster

"... Ah! You can stop running now" (P.E teacher)

"Okay!" (Itsuki)

And with that, he used both of his feet to break into a stop, and end up standing right in front of Ichi, who was hiding her presence right beside the teacher, but you were easily able to notice her when he looked in her direction

"Ah! Ichi-chan! What're you doing here?" (Itsuki)

"!?" (The boys and the teacher)

"... *Stops hiding her presence* You were able to notice me, Itsuki-san?..." (Ichi)

"Of course! I'm confident in my searching abilities!" (Itsuki)

"... I understand... You really impressed me, by finding me" (Ichi)

"Ehehehe!" (Itsuki)

You got slightly embarrassed since he took what she said as praise, but he was quick to recover

"By the way, how long have you been watching us?" (Y/N)

"Since you, all left the dressing room..." (Ichi)

"!?" (The boys)

The other male students who ended up hearing your conversation with Ichi were quick to feel the embarrassment of not lasting for more than a few laps, felt a surge of motivation

"UOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!"

And they began running again... And a few moments later they all collapsed again

"..." (Itsuki)

"..." (Ichi)

"Heh" (P.E teacher)

"... So why are you here, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)

"To update my information on the profile of the male students of the school in my database... and to collect information to fill your profile, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

"I see! Then good luck on your end!" (Itsuko)

"*Surprised*... Yes... Thank you, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

"Ah! Before I forget, couldn't you just have used your membership of the health committee as an excuse to come here?" (Itsuki)

"... ... ..." (Ichi)

"But I'm sure, you have already thought about that before!" (Itsuki)

"... ... ... Yes... You are right..." (Ichi)

She hasn't ever thought of doing that, since hiding her presence without anyone noticing her was a faster and more efficient method to collect information from the boys' physical test, but now that she was busted by Itsuki...

After that, the teacher continued the physical test as normal, without doing anything about Ichi, since she used her membership in the health committee as an excuse to keep her observations. Now the boys were doing the grip strength test, and this time due to the presence of Ichi they tried their hardest to show their cool side, but they either failed to make any meaningful show of strength, or she only paid attention to the numbers in the dynamometer or both

"Kanzaki-san, your turn" (P.E teacher)

And a red oni walked forward and grabbed the dynamometer

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!" (Kanzaki)

"One ton! You got stronger since last year" (P.E teacher)

"Of course, I did!" (Kanzaki)

"This was within my calculations but still impressive, subject Kanzaki-san..." *Expressionless face* (Ichi)

"O, osu" *Blushing* (Kanzaki)

"Okay, Itsuki-kun, your turn" (P.E teacher)

"Hai!" (Itsuki)

Then he stepped forward and grabbed the dynamometer, and gripped it with all his strength

*Sound of metal snapping*

"Ah!" (Itsuki)

"Huh?" (P.E teacher)

"Hm?..." (Ichi)

And then the dynamometer fell from his hand onto the ground without the grip part. Making the teacher and the rest of the boys look at him with their mouths open

"... Ehe! *Funny face*" (Itsuki)

"Don't 'ehe!' me after breaking a freaking dynamometer made out of mythril!!!" (P.E teacher)

Ichi on the other hand, had a surprised face as she wasn't expecting him to be able to break the dynamometer from her calculations

"... ... ...Itsuki-san..." (Ichi)

"Ah! Y, yes, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)

He was worried that he was going to be told off by her after breaking the dynamometer

"... You truly are impressive for being able to break all of my expectations so far... I am very pleased by all of your performances until now, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

"..." (Itsuki)

Ichi said so to him with a small smile and warm eyes, completely different from her always stoic and expressionless face. And she looked so beautiful that it was enough to make everyone, including Itsuki go silent

"... T, thanks for the compliment" (Itsuki)

"... You are welcome, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

He thanked her with a slightly blushing face, and Ichi answered you with still her small smile before she went back to her usual expressionless face
