Laila's score always led Jyorta's by a steady margin. Irrespective of how he performed, she was always ranked first. It was as if she could predict his performance and adjust accordingly.

In order to probe and test if such a thing was true, in the month of May, Jyorta acted as if he was appearing for many tests. But in actuality, it was just a front he put forth. He didn't appear for a single test during that month.

All he obtained were the tiny amounts of Credits handed out during the theoretical lessons and the practical sessions. When the results were announced on the 10th of the next month, he was shocked to find Laila's score only leading him by a small margin, the same as before.

The next month, he appeared for numerous tests, trying to score as many Credits as possible, also appearing for many practical exams in the subject of martial arts. Other than the month of December, he scored the highest during the month of June.
