Chapter 21

Finally, finally the day has come.

Hehehehehe!

After a Sunday full of onions, I am welcoming Monday with a cheerful mood.

Aahh, the sky is so blue today! Finally I can release the frustration in my heart for so long.

Ahahahaha! Squeak, snicker, snicker!!

With a wicked smile, I skipped to school.

Hoo, hoo, hoo. I giggled when I saw the crowd gathering.

'Oh, the results are out?'

I happily walked forward. The number of students in the school was not large enough to form a large crowd, but it was enough to make me feel suffocated as they crowded in the hallway.

________________

- Thank goodness you passed!

- You're better than me!

- Ah, my name is on this board...

...Murmur~ Murmur~

The whispering sounds continued without stopping.

- Ah! 2nd and 3rd place are Mei and Bronya! They're really amazing!

Kiana put her hands on her hips and exclaimed as she looked at the exam results.

Mei and Bronya beside her just silently observed the scoreboard without much expression.

- Huh?

Kiana was glancing at the results board when suddenly a name caught her eye.

- Wha- What!? That name is also at the top of the list! How absurd!?

What caught her eye was Yumeji's name, sitting comfortably in the Top 5. The absurd thing was that he had enrolled 2 months later than them, not counting the previous Valkyrie internships. This was a respectable score for a student who had just transferred in for 3 months.

His score was enough to make Kiana's eyes widen in amazement. When he got top marks in the theory exam with a perfect score of 100 in most subjects except for geography, which was still excellent. Not only that, he also got 8th place in the practical exam, which he admitted he was bad at.

- Oh! Bronya knew Yumeji was really good.

- That's surprising. If he had transferred here earlier, he would have gotten first place.

While Bronya and Mei were expressing their admiration, Kiana quickly regained her composure and cleared her throat.

- Kuhum! He's unexpectedly smart! But that's all, I'm the one who got first place!

Kiana moved her eyes up to observe the person standing at the top of the list.

- What!? First place is the class president!? Then where's my name!?

While Kiana was still confusedly looking around to find her name, Mei quickly called her back.

- Kiana, it seems like your name is over here.

Mei awkwardly called out to Kiana. Hearing that, Kiana happily ran over.

- Ah, so you're so excellent that you've been given a separate board.

Her cheerful voice was quickly extinguished and a black cloud quickly covered her face.

She stared at the board in front of her in shock.

On it were clearly written in large letters.

"Failed Student - Kiana Kaslana."

Slap!

While she was still in shock, a voice rang out beside her.

- Oh my! So master is number one? Hmm hmm, Mei and Bronya are ranked 2nd and 3rd, as expected. Wow, I'm ranked 5th, not bad! ~ Mmm, but why can't I see Kiana's name anywhere~~

A very hateful voice rang in her ears.

- Oh my! So it's over there~ Oh, oh, why did it say fail!? ~ Oh no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I didn't know there was someone who could fail a kindergarten test like that. Ah no, why did I say that! Beep! Beep! This stinking mouth! Shouldn't it be for an infant or not, elementary or middle school?~ But anyway, I sympathize with you, you were born like this, so don't be sad! Do your best, Kiana, I'll always support you. Yes, being smart isn't everything, there are things that only fools can do! ~ So don't be sad, I'll treat you to a sumptuous meal tonight. Bye!

After saying that, he patted her shoulder and ran away like a gust of wind.

The arrogant, exaggerated voice like that of a clown trying to act out a tragedy on stage while holding his stomach and laughing until he couldn't stop crying, made his sarcasm increase by 9999 psychological damage! It hit her hard, her body shook violently with anger! Her anger reached its peak, her eyes turned red with anger as she screamed.

- Aghhhhh!!! You bastard!! That bastard!!!! And this thing too, what nonsense!!! I failed! Failed!! Where is that dog!? That bastard!

With rage, Kiana lost all humanity and growled like a wild dog, tearing the notice apart and crumpling it into a pile of scrap paper.

- Calm down, Kiana.

- Bronya thought Yumeji was just telling the truth. Kiana was an idiot.

Getting angry, even when Mei tried to stop her, she didn't stop and instead raised her voice.

- What!? That bastard is right!! That guy with the face like a fish is right!!! Ahhh, that dog! Listen to that voice, it's more pleasing to the ears to hear the clown's voice!! Damn, damn, what did I say about falling! There must be a mistake!! You bastard, where did you run off to!?

Kiana looked around and saw Yumeji standing far away, peeking her head out and giggling!

- Aghhhh!! Oh my god, this damn guy! Stop right there for this young lady!!

Kiana ran after him, but Yumeji immediately ran away.

Mei and Bronya both looked at that scene, not knowing what to say.

- Is it a common thing?

- A common thing.

Both of them slowly shook their heads and chose another direction to go to avoid trouble.

___________________

- Stop there!!

- Dream on! Ahahaha!!

Kiana and I started playing tag all over the campus. I ran like a ghost until I was out of breath but I didn't feel tired at all, only a feeling of satisfaction was overflowing.

- If you're good, come and catch me! Bleh!

I stuck my tongue out to provoke Kiana.

- Just wait, you cheeky dog!

- Oh my god! Yeah, I'm a dog!~ If you're good, come and catch me! Waving~ Waving~ Waving~

- Ah, you bastard! Great!! Then I'll bury you alive today!!

- Oh, this little dog is so scared!? You're not even as good as a dog!

- I'll kill you!!!

The vicious cycle begins, running - chasing, provoking - getting angry then running - chasing again.

I dashed through the hallway while Kiana frantically ran after me

- Hey, hey you turtle, why haven't you caught me yet? You're too slow, Hahaha!~

Kiana, after hearing that, angrily stomped her foot on the floor and jumped up to grab me, but because I had already expected this, I cleverly dodged to the side, causing Kiana to miss and then slam her head into the cleaning kit the janitor had left nearby.

-Pfft! Ahahaha~

I held my stomach laughing at Kiana's disheveled appearance, before quickly running away as soon as I saw the change.

Kiana, who was about to throw a tantrum and chase me with a mop, turned pale when she saw the janitor with the face of a demon glaring at her with anger.

Kiana was immediately given a long lecture by the janitor before being forced to clean up the mess she had made.

Taking advantage of that moment, I snuck away and stopped by a vending machine that was quite nearby to buy a can of soda.

I opened my wallet and took out the few coins I earned from that extremely dishonorable job that I didn't want to talk about to buy a can of cola.

Looking at the 100 yen coin in my hand, I sighed sadly at the fact that 85% of the money I earned from that job had been used to pay off my debts.

I really am a poor person, huhu.

My fake tearful face quickly turned into a sly smile when I saw the figure approaching me through the reflection on the glass of the vending machine.

I shook the can of cola in my hand vigorously and started timing.

As soon as the target had entered the minimum range and reached out to grab me, I skillfully dodged to the side, then leaned closer and opened the can.

- Pfft~~

The bubbling sound rang out and then~

-Augh!

I grinned as the bubbling cola mercilessly shot towards Kiana's face.

Angrily, Kiana threw a kick at me but I dodged it.

-What a pity~ I missed~ Pufferfish-chan~~ Ho ho!

It seemed that Kiana's anger had reached its peak as the system message was ringing non-stop in my head.

And then, our chase continued.

-F*ck you!!! Stop right there!!! You rotten, filthy dog!!!!

Hearing Kiana's insane howls as she chased me from behind, I couldn't help but laugh heartily regardless of the consequences, until....

______________

- So do you two have anything to say?

- ...

Theresa and the other teachers stared at us with cold eyes.

During the Century chase, between Kiana and I, we were caught red-handed. Kiana and I were suppressed by Fu Hua and Himeko respectively. And were grabbed by the ears and dragged to the principal's office.

- So what happened?

Hearing Theresa's question, Himeko coldly glanced at the two of us and said.

- According to the two witnesses, Mei and Bronya, the subject Yumeji said something a bit too much, causing Kiana to get angry and want to kill him.

- Hmm, how much too much?

- It wasn't sensitive words or any special curses. But all the students present commented that the subject Yumeji's tone was extremely sour and unpleasant, as if he wanted to provoke others. But on the contrary, he didn't have any excessive actions. Kiana got mad and chased after him. Please stop.

- Do you two have any excuses?

Theresa glared at us and asked.

- I thought those were just acceptable jokes.

- What!? This bastard!

- Kiana!!

- But, miss, he said I was stupid!

- Is that true?

Theresa looked at me coldly and asked.

- Huh? No, I just said that everyone has their own talents, so don't take it too seriously. I even invited him to eat, that was a consolation, principal.

- Is that true?

Theresa asked Himeko again.

- He did say something similar. And he did say he would treat Kiana to a consolation meal, but the context was a bit...

While the two were still discussing, another person in the room raised his hand.

- Principal, I have something to say.

- Please, sir.

Welt Yang, who was currently posing as a history teacher, spoke up.

- According to the test results, the student, Kiana Kaslana, did not pass the exam at all, so she was dropped. Even in history, she only got 0 points.

Theresa frowned slightly when she heard that, then she concluded.

- So it was like this, Kiana failed the exam, Yumeji came and provoked, teased Kiana about her poor academic performance, Kiana got angry at Yumeji's words and could not accept the truth, so she yelled and chased after her?

- That's right.

Hearing Himeko's firm assertion, Theresa rubbed her temples and said.

- Are you guys three years old?

- Just because of that, you caused a huge ruckus throughout the entire academy, causing me to hear countless complaints from countless students? Oh my fate! Why do I have to be the principal?

- In my opinion, all the problems are due to Kiana's poor academic performance.

- She definitely needs remedial classes!

- What about Yumeji?

- That brat needs a character training course! But wait, how about Yumeji's results?

- He has excellent results, ranked in the top 5 of the whole school.

- Oh! Oh, right!

- Yes?

- How about this, let's have Yumeji tutor Kiana. Kiana has to retake the exam next week anyway, and teaching is the best profession for character training. Yes, let's decide on that. Education is true love!

Both Kiana and I, who were kneeling in dogeza, were stunned by Theresa's decision.

- Wait!||Wait! (in unison)

- I object, why do I have to be a tutor|| why do I have to be tutored by this || brainless || bastard!!

- Objections are useless! Just decide.

- Ah, damn || Ah, damn!

- What are you looking at, you bastard!?

- What are you looking at, you idiot!?

Chiiii~~~

Sparks flew as we glared at each other.

My revenge was successful, but I had to endure a bunch of trouble. Oh my god!?

[The admins are pleased with this classic rom-com flavor. You are rewarded with a random skill ticket.]

[Some admins like new things, don't like your way of building affection, but they still think it's good to find something to eat to kill time.]

[You have been rewarded with 50 gold.]

'Shut up.'

Why can't these crazy people read the atmosphere!?

- Are you lost in thought!?

Slap!

- Ah!! Aghh!!

The wooden sword flew straight at me, sending me flying in the air, causing me to fall headfirst onto the ground.

- Stand up.

- Aigu! Why is master so heavy-handed?

- What are you complaining about? It's not like you think you haven't trained enough so you still have enough strength to run around and cause trouble! Get up and keep practicing! If you don't hit me, don't expect to rest!

-....

Oh my god, why are you so unfair to me?

- Still being careless!

Slap!!

- Aughh! Ah! Ah! Wait a minute!?

Slap!

I raised my sword to block but Fu Hua turned the hilt and knocked my sword back.

Then she kicked my shin, causing me to lose balance. She then quickly closed the distance and elbowed me in the face.

- Ugh!

I fell on my butt but Fu Hua's wooden sword didn't stop, it kept hitting me like a whip.

[Some single admins, take pleasure in seeing you get beaten up.]

You damn bastards!?

I'm getting beaten up!? It's me!! Don't stand there laughing! Fuck you!!
