It was morning and the homeroom teacher, Vlad King, was posing with his arms crossed. Today, there weren't any classes, just exams. And this is the start of the day.

"Okay brats." Kan lowered his head. "After you pass your final written exams, there'll be the practical one, do your best."

"Teacher, what could that be?" Monoma asked.

"I'm not allowed to tell you." He said. "But this year, It's going to be harder than the last years'. Don't depend on what the seniors tell you."

The last days were hellish days, but they were heavenly, as I can say… not because of the exams, but the girls. I'm living a dream.

Although the car was on the line, somehow, I managed to figure out a trick. I figured a way to use my Hamon – not to brain control – but to squeeze my brain. It could be draining at some point, but I can recuperate quickly.

Julia was happy with studying and called me a genius. That's damn right. I am a genius.

I stared at Itsuka and both of us smiled.

The study in the library, the threesomes, were what made this week good.

I turned my head to Reiko, whom I felt that she was staring at me.

When I looked at her, she turned her face.

She asked. "You look in good mood."

"Mmm." I nodded and raised an eyebrow. "You?"

"Nothing much." She made a small yawn.

"Lee. Pay attention." Kan said. "Only the ones who success would be allowed to visit a special summer camp, paid by U.A."

The student showed an uproar in reaction to his words. Kan words meant that the students who pass the exams would go to summer camp. To them, surely it sounded a lot of fun.

"Whatever."

But I would rather be spending the vacation in Yu's apartment.

After the uproar and the calm down, different teachers and guards came inside.

The schedule of the exams was given, and since we don't have so many topics, we were to pass them in one day. As for tomorrow, it would be the applicable exam. No one knew what it would be, though.

And so, we were taken to the exam hall. Surprisingly, it was a wide hall. The seats were distant from each other, that it would be impossible to take a peek at your classmate.

If I found out that I don't know a thing, I'll stop the time and see what the others have.

Although I unlocked the brainpower, I have spent it thinking about ways to train my Hamon, and increasing my senses speed to keep us with Star Platinum.

The principal came and stood in front of us. He was a humanoid short rat wearing a costume. He looked at us and gave a small speech before saying something.

"Oh, by the way, dear students. Under your seats, we have special devices that can measure your brain waves."

He made a leer. "If you think you can cheat your way, please, consider that even if the teacher didn't see you, you would be detected anyway." He then let a laugh, before leaving.

Soon, the exam papers were given.

First subject: Japanese, which I didn't like too much.

Looking at the questions, I activated my Hamon on my brain, increasing the capability of my brain.

Flashes of the past when I was studying with Kendo came to my mind.

I started remembering everything, and the questions started to become easy all of the sudden.

In the quarter of the given time, I managed to answer 90% of the questions. As for the rest of the 10%, they were tricky ones. Those who depend on external sources to study should be able to answer them.

Those damn Japanese people. How can they be this cruel with such questions?

I looked around to see that Kendo was having her time. The pencil in her hand was blurring. Reiko was the same.

Ibara was praying and closing her eye, a sweat drop fell from her head. Pony was scratching her hair, before resting her head on the table.

Monoma was holding his hair and looked afraid.

Seems everyone has their own pros and cons.

Taking a deep breath, I thought about my seat. The moment I cheat, I would be detected.

'cheating moment was the keyword.

Stopping the time, everything froze.

Quickly, taking advantage of the 13 seconds of time stop I have now, I moved closer to Kendo.

Star Platinum held a pencil and a paper before standing next to the girl, and, in a couple of seconds, we copied everything.

Quickly, I went back to my seat, placed the paper where it was, and used Hamon to calm myself down.

Although cheating wasn't good, I wanted to guarantee that I have that car.

Time moved again and the devices in my seat didn't detect me, only shook me a bit, meaning they got I was intending to do something but warned me.

The rest of the exams came. It went smoothly. With my brain, knowledge, Hamon, and Stand Power, I was unstoppable. Alfred – Star Platinum – took care of everything.

"What a tyring day," Itsuka said as I was driving her to her house.

I nodded. "Indeed. How did you do?"

When I asked this, she frowned and made a sad expression.

I lowered the speed of the car, feeling worried when I saw her like this.

"Hey, Kendo, what is with you?"

Sniff.

She held a sob in sadness as she looked at her feet. Kendo was a strong girl. She can't just act like this without a good reason. I had to ask.

"In the math exams; I think that I got one question wrong."

That was her serious matter. She almost cried for it.

"Girls~"

I turned my head and clicked my tongue.

Food change. Dimensions change. Women, they never change.

"Hey, do you think it's funny?" She exclaimed in anger as she stared at me.

"No need to start a drama over it." I patter her shoulder and massaged it a bit while letting Star Platinum drive. "I believe in you, do your best."

She smiled and everything went fine. After saying goodbye, I went back to my own house. Julia seemed very sad, and when I asked her why, she said, holding her books. "Can we start with your next year's lessons? It would be good if we started preparing for your senior year's exams."

"Hell." I coughed. "No!"

"Whatever. Good day." She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

She really liked to study, or teach, I think.

But I can't guarantee that wish.

I had already missed some of my training because of the study – bigger blame on the girls but all put on the books.

The new day came, and now was the time for the real exam. The heroic one, where one depends on his fist.
