Fake 100: Reduced To Ashes

Since the final exams are over, I’ve decided to go home with Aoi. But, my body feels heavy as expected.

“Rin-kun, how did you do on this time’s test?”

“Although I was able to perform better than on the previous test, it seemed to be pretty difficult for the others. Maybe, Honda is……”

“To begin with, how is he doing with his studies?”

“I am not sure either, but he seems like he’s struggling.”

It isn’t like Aoi’s anger has completely subsided, but she knows that he came to apologize to me. Thus, Honda has been completely recognized by Aoi.

“Rin-kun, let’s sleep well when we get home today, okay?”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

As one might expect, it is impossible for me to take on a survivor request today.
If I were to do so in my current state, it could lead to a disaster.
When I got to my room, I was assaulted by sleepiness and fell asleep even before I had the time to eat lunch.

“Uh, uh~nn.”

Sleepy…… What time is it now?
I looked at my Survive; it was already 22:00(10:00 PM). (T/N: “Survive” is the term the author uses to refer to the survivor terminal. Reminding in case you forgot.)
I must have slept for more than nine hours.

“Rin-kun, have you woken up? You slept really well.”

“Aoi……did you not sleep?”

“No, I slept for about four hours, so I feel refreshed now.”

Four hours of sleep and she feels refreshed, huh? I am still sleepy even though I’ve slept for more than nine hours. Sure enough, Aoi is quite different from me.

“Shall we eat then? Since you haven’t eaten lunch, make sure to eat your fill.”

“Thank you.”

Starting the next day after the final exam, I resumed my survivor activities. Unexpectedly, a request came in right away.
As I thought, it seems that monsters appear frequently in the streets.
School classes become limited to morning classes and spring break will be starting soon, so I can focus my attention on monster hunting again.
And, the final exam’s test papers are gradually being returned. With the exception of one subject in which I had trouble, I am getting better marks than last time. So far, my average mark is over 85 points. (T/N: For those who are unfamiliar with Japanese culture. The students answer on test papers, the teachers then return the test papers to the students after grading them. Note that this is not the same for every school.)

“Seriously~? As I thought, this time’s test was difficult~. It was better last time~.”

“Isn’t that right~? The same for me too. If even Atashiro-kun has it bad, won’t it be the same for everyone?”

“I think so too~. Hahaha.”

It looks like Atashiro is having a hard time as I said the other day.
Honda……is silently staring at the test paper, but it is clear that he is lifeless and his eyes are blank.
That is dangerous……
I can’t feel the tiniest bit of his usual haughty attitude. I can imagine his test score without needing to ask.
Apparently, Honda is not very good at tests.
Thus, all the test papers were returned two days later, and the rankings were announced the following day.
My final average mark was 87 points and my ranking was 21st, greatly surpassing my previous high.

“Ah~, my ranking fell~. It became 43rd. This is bad~.”

“Ehh~, even so, isn’t 43rd rank still amazing? As expected of Atashiro-kun~.”

“I wonder? Well, I underestimated the test this time and cut some corners, something like that. Should I get a little more serious next time~?”

Atashiro ranked 43rd, huh? I won! It isn’t like I am competing with Atashiro, nor am I going to show off my grades to him either. But, I came out above Atashiro. I inwardly made a guts pose in my head.
And, I am glad that I was able to fulfill my promise with Aoi.
Thanks to Aoi, it looked like I broke through my limits, although only in my grades.
Finally, Honda became ashes.
Apparently, that figure I saw during exam period wasn’t my eyes seeing things.
