Chapter 18

'Later!' Syl mentally said as he tried to act normal, which worked perfectly due to his acting talent!

"It was good! But… uuhh… what test questions?" Syl genuinely asked.

He had never even looked at Kushida's test questions. He just stuffed them in his bag without even reading the title. I mean everything you receive from Kushida should probably just be thrown in the trash without even reading it right? So that's what he did!

Plus who's notes would you take? Some random schmuck in class D or the only person in the school to ever have an A+ in both physical and academics?

It's an obvious choice!

Kushida was ecstatic! This idiot didn't even review her test questions! He must have failed! Right?

"Haha! Don't joke like that! The one's I gave to the whole class! They were last years test answers!"

Syl looked shocked! "You gave me those? When?"

"Yesterday, silly! Did you forget that the contents of the test were changed from what Chabashira told us a week ago too?" Kushida asked innocently, secretly hoping he did.

"Oh? That? Yea I heard! I got lucky though!"

Kushida started sweating. "H-how so?"

"I didn't study at all! So I didn't miss out on anything! Hahaha! Lucky me!"

The whole class turned to look at Syl when he said this.

"..."

"Pardon?" Kushida asked.

"I didn't study! So it didn't matter what the content was! Anyway, did you guys also notice the mistakes on the english test? Who wrote that thing, a rookie? I found 3 mistakes! Aren't they supposed to be testing us? Not the other way around!"

Everyone (other than Ayanokoji) had their mouths hit the floor! This guy didn't study! But he was also better than the teachers at english! What the fuck?!

Ayanokoji was just as shocked. Someone else noticed those mistakes?! They learned that when they were 8 years old in the White room! That's like PHD level stuff!

Who was this Syl guy?

Kushida was sweating bullets. "So, how did you do on the other tests? How about history?"

She had already stalked- I mean studied Syl and realized that history was his weakest subject.

"Great!" Syl said with a smile.

"T-then math?"

"Great!"

"Japanese?"

"Amazing!"

Syl was actually a master in all languages due to his translation skill from god. Well it actually just translated everything to english. But now that he was a master at English, he was the same for all other languages… It was actually a super OP combo that Syl had yet to even realize existed.

At this point Kushida was scared that Syl would try to use her attack on him against her! If he showed everyone that she had given him the wrong answers then she would have to make up an excuse! Of course she could always pretend to be innocent or say that she made a mistake, but then how do you explain why you have a full sheet of fake midterms with fake answers for every single subject?

"H-hey Syl. You don't happen to know where you put those answers I gave you, do you?"

Syl froze. "U-uhh n-no. I actually…" Syl leaned in and whispered. "I think I actually threw them out. Sorry."

Kushida brightened up. "That's great! I mean! No problem! It's great that you didn't need them!"

Syl chuckled. "Yeah! I also got some notes from a second year who took the midterms last year! So I should be fine! Though it cost me a lot of private points…"

"Y-you did? When?" Kushida asked. This could be an opportunity!

"A bit over a week ago I think?"

The whole class was glaring daggers at him. Why didn't he share?!?!

"Really? How mean! Why didn't you tell us? When I bought the test answers I shared with the whole class! You should have too!" Kushida felt triumphant! She could plummet Syl's reputation within the class!

However, Syl only smiled! "What do you mean? We talked about it earlier!"

"W-what?! No we didn't?!"

Syl shook his head. "Nono, we totally did! Right? Even Ayanokoji was there!"

Ayanokoji was shocked! Is this what Syl meant when he said that he was gonna drag his friends down with him?

Ayanokoji was quick to think on his feet, he chose to use the Joestars ultimate technique.

RUN AWAY!

"Umm… I have to use the bathroom." He stood up and walked away without saying another word.

Syl chuckled. "It looks like he's still shy! This is why we asked you to give out the notes! Don't you remember?"

Kushida was shocked. "What?"

Little did she know that Syl was the one who supplied Ayanokoji with notes a week ago. He told Ayanokoji that he didn't want the class to fail but he also didn't want to stand out as the one who gave everyone notes. Too bothersome! So he asked Ayanokoji to deal with it!

Ayanokoji obviously rejected, but then Syl used a trump card.

Syl pouted, "Won't you help your friend out? Isn't that what friends are for?!"

Ayanokoji couldn't reject! He wouldn't be a normal high schooler if he rejected his friend's request!

So Ayanokoji did what he did in the light novel, he got Kushida to do it. He actually didn't think Kushida would try to expel Syl with this opportunity, otherwise he would have intervened.

Anyway! Back to the present. Kushida was stunned! This isn't what Ayanokoji told her!

Syl smirked. "Feel free to fact check it. Fuka Kiryuin, she's the owner of those notes. She's also a… an acquaintance of mine."

Syl wanted to say friend but he felt like Kiryuin wouldn't accept that.

Kushida was shocked! She was being exposed! How did this happen? Was Syl really that lucky?!

At this point Horikita stood up.

"It seems there was some miscommunication between Ayanokoji and Kushida. It seems like an honest mistake, so please don't force this issue, Sujin."

Syl hummed in thought. She was gonna defend Kushida already.

"No problem then! I must have forgotten to tell you but only told Ayanokoji by mistake! No harm no foul either way! We all passed at the end of the day!"

He walked away slowly. As he passed Horikita he whispered.

"Are you sure about this? Don't say I never gave you an easy out."

Horikita narrowed her eyes and nodded. "She's invaluable to this class."

Syl snorted. "Seems that someone gained a lot of class pride behind my back. Well, don't come crying to me when this blows up in your face. Or do, it'd be funny to watch."

Syl laughed and walked away without a care in the world.

Horikita was lost in thought and left right after him without saying anything.

'Maybe my brother recognized him for a reason…'

Kushida was on damage control and constantly apologizing on the verge of tears for her mistake. She kept saying she only accused Syl because she wanted to help the class!

What a bitch!
