The Uniregular Sport School 1
Chapter 14: Academic Examination Part 1

This morning was Monday, the students of grade 1-E gathered in class to run an academic exam. Mr. Smith's warm welcome to the one-week exam begins.

"Good morning everyone! I congratulate the students who will take the exam, this time you will take the exam to test your eligibility. As you know, this exam is an academic exam. Please wait a few more minutes! I hope you follow him well. And lastly, please wear the watch I gave you. That's all I can say, thank you!"

After welcoming the students, he walked over to me and Elaina and placed two watches on the table.

"Jaga's fine!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Though now it is an academic exam, but it seems like our table is not separated and I still sit side by side with Elaina.

"Sorry, Mr. Smith. Is this a pair test?"

"What other tests? Do you want to do it alone? Don't joke, you have to work with your partner."

"Ah, fine. I'm sorry."

So that's the case, our table is not separated because of the exams that will be done in pairs.

I took the watch lying down and put it on my hand, it seemed like this watch had the same shape as the other students.

After having gone through the exam day unprepared and filled with troublesome happenings, I will work on it together with Elaina.

I looked towards Elaina, maybe she was a little nervous. Nervousness was indeed natural because he was thinking too much about the worst possibility to be faced, but it was a pity that I could not feel the nervous feeling.

They were different from me, I didn't even care about this exam at all and had yawned a few times.

I looked around while waiting and saw many people who were enthusiastic about wearing school-given watches.

"Everything? Now I'm going to hand out papers for you to work on. The number is 100 questions, you have 2 hours."

"Good!"

Mr. Smith went back to his desk to pick up some test papers and hand them out.

"Because you're alone, you should be able to do it yourself. It's a risk for not getting a partner."

We've received the paper and are preparing to work on it. But my attention was a little distracted by a man who was alone, in short he was the one who did not get a partner on the first day.

If not wrongly named is Bark Neet, a man who has the lowest height in the class, even he is lower than many women. I guess they all underestimated her, I didn't care either and continued to work on the test together with Elaina.

"Look! You can work with your partner, but remember! If you spread the answer to someone other than your own partner, then a point deduction will occur. Sathomi! Don't play the watch, focus on the exam!"

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Mr. Smith reprimanded me just because I played this watch out of curiosity. What I can do, I'll finish it in no time.

"Do now!"

"Ready!"

Examination time has gone by, now the students are focused on their partner only to work on the exam paper given.

"Satomi, I don't understand at all. Sorry, I always bother you."

"Hmm yeah, no problem. It's about the easy."

"You're really great, yeah."

"Maybe."

Basically, these are 100 math problems with middle to high levels, so I find it strange why special schools of athletics provide math questions that are very difficult for many students.

But not for me, the question is so easy even I'm sure it will be finished in less than 20 minutes if I'm serious. 2 Hours is still too long just for questions like this.

"Hows it? Satomi."

"It's easy, how much do you want?"

"Eh? Why ask me? That's up to you."

"Jawab only, I don't want to get a perfect score."

"Umm. Okay, then 85. How's it?"

"85, aye. Maybe too!"

There are 100 questions in total, so 1 question is worth 1. I need to answer 85 questions correctly and 15 questions incorrectly. About multiple choice like this, I have to be a little careful not to mismark between parts A to E.

"I'll finish it in half an hour, even if I can do it for less than that."

"Yes, thank you. Sathomi!"

Maybe there is no harm if I am also a little serious in answering this matter, I am serious so as not to mismark the right part.

A few minutes passed and I answered 60 questions. I think I'm still too fast, there's 1 hour and 52 minutes left.

"Elaina, how's your relationship with Weston?"

"I still don't know, but since Saturday. He's acting weird and doesn't bother me anymore."

For some reason when he said that, his face looked sad. Out of curiosity, I immediately asked Elaina without hesitation.

"Elaina, what's wrong with you?"

"Eh? It's okay, I'm just tired."

"Is Weston threatening you again?"

"No, it's not that."

"Tell me the truth, or I'll rip this exam paper off!"

"Umm. Please don't do it! All right, I'll say."

With just a slight threat, Elaina instantly obeyed my words. It was only fitting that he was easily threatened if his attitude was like this.

"Satomi, actually I was very sad when I found out that you were dating Fisa."

Elaina lowered her head so that her tears would not be seen, she also did so as not to disturb the class that was carrying out the test.

"No need, I can't hear it. Now let me finish this, I don't want to trouble you any further."

"Ah, fine."

It seems I was too cruel to Elaina, I know that. But anyway, this is what I am. I always couldn't read the atmosphere and understand other people, I just looked at her expression then ignored her.

Now to respect Elaina's decision, I have to let her do the exam. The most important test score this time will definitely get a score of 60, I'm sure. I don't think 60 is bad either.

"Sorry Elaina, this is who I am."

"I already know, so please don't think about it. Now I'll work on it, sorry if the results don't go your way."

"The 60 is for sure and I don't think it's bad. If athletic teens are told to do maths, then it's only natural that they can't do it."

"Thank you, Satomi. You still want to protect me."

"Promises must be kept, I just hold on to those words."

There is no harm if I have to keep my word, because someone called human will help each other and make a promise not to betray each other. It's all about trust, as fellow human beings who have promised each other, they have to keep it.

"Hows it? If it's too hard, let me finish it."

"Don't underestimate me! I've studied hard enough for this."

"Good luck!"

Such is the case that the written math exam lasts for two hours. I did 60 things and Elaina did 40 things.

"Time's up! Collect now, unfinished finishes must be collected!"

"Ready!"

The students including me gathered the papers forward, the gathering place was the teacher's desk.

"Well, congratulations because you guys finished the first day well. I hope you keep trying until the fifth day. You can go home and wait for the results, the results will appear on your watch. So!"

"Good!"

Finished with the cover, Mr. Smith left the class carrying the test paper and allowed his students to go home.

Refraining is very important so as not to be flashy, it's because I prefer to be flashy because of stupidity rather than a show of ability.

"Satomi, do you have any plans after this?"

"Hmm. maybe not, why?"

"Wanna take a walk?"

"May be."

Elaina asked me to take a walk, I had no reason to refuse her. But before getting off our bench, Weston came closer. He did not show his arrogant stature, even his body looked weak.

"Harlow Elaina, I'm sorry for what I did!"

"Eh?!"

Surprisingly, Weston bowed his head to Elaina. I can tell that he did it sincerely.

"And for Satomi, I have something to talk to you about. Can you give us some time, Elaina?"

"Umm. okay. Satomi, I'm waiting for you in the park."

"Yes, I'll be there."

I was also quite surprised by Weston's drastic change in attitude, as if he wanted to talk to me about something serious.

"What's wrong?"

"Look Satomi, you know? I always look down on others and that's why I call Elaina the perfect object, because I'm fascinated by her beauty. I felt like this was not wrong and continued to make Elaina feel scared and uncomfortable while with me. But now that I realize, I won't be able to win against you and Elaina is more interested in you even after you've rejected her a few times."

"Weston, do you still like Elaina?"

"I don't know, I'm upset and I want to hit you for hurting her feelings, but I don't think it's any good because I'm like that, too. That's enough, I don't know what to do now."

"That means you still like it. How about you change yourself little by little and make Elaina feel good around you?"

"Saying it is easy, but it is very difficult to do. I'm sure he hates me."

"Is that so?"

"Thank you, Satomi. I feel relieved when I talk to you. Now that I won't bother Elaina anymore, she's already got a better person than me. It's the best option to make amends."

Not yet able to answer his gratitude, Weston immediately went out of class.

I had no more business in this class, so I immediately got up from the bench and met Elaina in the garden.

"Over, yeah."

"That's how."

"What are you talking to him about?"

"Of course."

"Huh.you're as cold as ever!"

I thought Elaina would hate and stay away from me after knowing that I was dating Fisa. But it turns out I was wrong, he was trying to get closer to me.

I became curious.

Why is he so stubborn?

Why is he so obsessed with me?

For someone newly known, I'm not sure this sincere feeling really exists inside him.

I wanted to threaten Elaina again to be honest, but I've done a lot of cruel things to her. So I guess I can't do it.

It is better not to think, because time will continue to run and answer my curiosity.
