“If you’re caught cheating, you’ll be immediately dismissed.”
The students tensed up at the stern voice. The supervisor, looking satisfied at the solemn atmosphere in the classroom, continued.
“Pass the exam papers to the student sitting behind you.”
At that, the students who received the papers in the front row began passing them back. After I, sitting in the very back, received one exam paper, the supervisor tapped the teacher’s desk, signaling for silence.
An unnecessary authoritarian ring was on his left ring finger. I wondered why I suddenly became curious about his wife’s face?
“Matsuda-kun, good luck.”
Miyuki’s small encouragement from two rows away. I grinned at her, and as the announcement for the start of the exam was heard, I unfolded the thin Korean language exam paper.
The first problem used the reading comprehension method Miyuki had taught me. The next problem was also within the things I had prepared for. Thinking that I had a good feeling from the start, I took the exam with maximum concentration.
There were no particular parts where I got stuck. Math, which came after English, was a bit challenging, but I could figure it out if I thought a little harder, so I smoothly solved the problems and transferred the answers to the answer sheet.
Having finished the morning exam relatively successfully, burning my brain in the process, I pressed my throbbing temples and alternately looked at Miyuki and Tetsuya, who were coming to check their answers.
“Can’t we do it later? My head hurts.”
“Let’s just do a quick check. Only math.”
“We can’t even revise the answer sheet anyway, so what’s the point of checking? We can just wait for the results.”
“We do it to gain psychological stability.”
“But if you get it wrong, won’t your anxiety just get worse?”
“No, if that happens, your competitive spirit will be sparked, thinking you need to do better on the next exam.”
It was an answer typical of Miyuki, who was so passionate about studying. Though she was passionate in other areas too.
“Ha… alright.”
“Both of our target math scores were 80 points, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then I’ll start? First…”
Miyuki began speaking rapidly. She spoke from problem to answer without hesitation, did she memorize the entire exam paper? I could only think how amazing she was.
Around us, students interested in studying had gathered in small groups. They were there to hear the correct answers Miyuki was giving. Because the answers that came from her mouth were never wrong.
Since it had come to this, if my score was high, I would go to the rooftop with Miyuki during lunch. Having resolved that, I checked my answers in the noisy classroom, listening to Miyuki’s clear voice.
I deliberately didn’t show the notebook where I had scribbled the problems and answers. It was because I had gotten all five of the first problems right, and I somehow felt I would get a good score, so I wanted to surprise Miyuki.
“…The last answer is 13. That’s all.”
As soon as Miyuki’s words ended, sighs mixed with relief and regret were heard from various places. Miyuki, who couldn’t concentrate solely on me and Tetsuya due to the gathered students, gently appeased them and sent them away, then sat closer to me.
“How did you two do? Tetsuya-kun, you go first.”
At that, Tetsuya, who had placed his dirty notebook on my desk, slowly curled the corner of his mouth upwards.
“I think I’ll reach 80 points…?”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Really. There were one or two confusing answers, but even excluding those, it’s 80 points.”
“You did incredibly well, didn’t you…? I knew you could do it…!”
Miyuki rejoiced as if it were her own achievement. Tetsuya, whose mouth broadened into a wide smile at her praise, scratched the back of his head shyly.
Still, he did work hard. I hated his guts, but even I would say he did well this time. I gave Tetsuya a slight thumbs-up, then managed my expression as Miyuki’s eyes, after praising him several times and even clapping, turned to me.
“Matsuda-kun?”
“I don’t know.”
Did she think I got a lower score than expected, seeing my ashen face and subdued voice? Miyuki subtly placed one hand on my leg and tapped it, as if to encourage me.
“See for yourself. I’m going to the restroom.”
I, with an indifferent expression, handed Miyuki the notebook with the answers written in it, then got up from my seat and left the classroom. And then I left Miyuki a message telling her to come up to the rooftop if she was satisfied with my score.
I did miss a few easy problems. But I got all the high-scoring problems right, except for the single most difficult one. The result of that self-check was 86 points.
Honestly, even though Miyuki said 80 points was the goal, she probably didn’t truly expect that score from me, who showed even weaker math skills than Tetsuya. But I proudly got well over 80 points.
Miyuki was probably now looking at my notebook, which had most of the problems correct, unable to hide her surprise. Tetsuya would probably be filled with an inferiority complex, thinking he had lost to me again.
I felt quite good. I couldn’t not feel good. From the Kendo tournament until now, there has been nothing but green lights shining on my path.
My path was smooth, the weather clear. I, fully boosted by protagonist power, grinned to myself and ambled towards the rooftop.
The rooftop, where a major incident had occurred this semester, was no longer off-limits. There was no sign, and the door wasn’t locked. I confidently entered the rooftop and, like a protagonist in a drama, waited for Miyuki, enjoying the cool-for-winter breeze.
Before long, the rooftop door quietly opened and Miyuki appeared. I grinned, showing my teeth, and asked her,
“You came?”
Her expression, as she nodded, was very bright. She seemed proud that I had gotten a high score. Adjusting the hem of her uniform skirt, she approached me and looked at me with her large eyes.
“Why did you ask me to come to the rooftop?”
“To get a reward.”
“A reward?”
“Since I surpassed the target score, there should be a reward. That’s how you get motivated to do better next time, you know.”
“No… you didn’t take that exam for someone else’s sake. Although I set the goal, it was for you to satisfy yourself, Matsuda-kun…”
“Why are you talking so much? Lock the door.”
Miyuki’s eyes widened twofold. She took half a step back, as if sensing what was about to happen, and said,
“Oh, no… not now…”
“Why?”
“We still have the afternoon exam…!”
“So?”
“So what…? At least wait until the exam ends…”
“Do you need to stay focused?”
“…That’s right…”
It wasn’t like the lingering feeling lasted forever or anything… I shook my head decisively and took a large step towards Miyuki, who was already leaning her back against the door. Afterwards, locking the rooftop door at Miyuki’s waist,
*click-!*
I slightly lifted one of her legs and pulled up her uniform skirt.
“Ah…!”
At that, Miyuki flinched and instinctively wrapped her arms around my neck. The indoor shoe on her lifted leg stretched straight down, as if to prove she was extremely nervous. I gently caressed her pale leg, which was straining excessively, and pressed my body close to hers,
“D-do we really have to…? Can’t we do it in the afternoon…?”
I grinned at Miyuki’s suggestion, which had begun to tremble slightly.
“No.”
“It’s lunchtime now…? We have to eat…”
“I’ll finish quickly.”
“Y-you always say that, M-Matsuda-kun, but you never finish quickly… Hmph!”
Miyuki, who had been mumbling something quickly, suddenly gasped. It was because my bulging uniform pants were pressed against her crotch. Her face instantly turned red, and she bit her lower lip, mumbling,
“It’s cold…”
“It’ll get hot in no time.”
“…Th-then finish it really quickly… It’s a promise…”
“I said I would, didn’t I?”
“A-and don’t do it inside… do it outside…”
She was so hot, talking as if she assumed I would cum inside from the start. I replied that I understood, then began to explore her body, starting by putting my lips on Miyuki’s pale neck and placing my hand on her chest.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Miyuki, did you shower?”
Tetsuya’s question to Miyuki, who returned to the classroom just before lunch break was almost over. Miyuki, still with a flushed face, fanned herself with her hand and replied.
“Yes. I sent you a text, didn’t you see it?”
“I saw it, but… why a shower suddenly?”
“Oh… I was a little sleepy today, so I took one to wake myself up… Did you wait in front of the cafeteria?”
“No. I saw your text and ate with a friend.”
“That’s good… Let’s do our best on the next exam too.”
“Alright…”
Tetsuya’s expression, as he agreed, couldn’t be called bright. He was down because he had lost even the math exam to me.
He should have tried harder. Even his childhood friend position was fading, and it was his fault for not fighting tooth and nail.
I scoffed at him inwardly, then gave an innocent smile to Miyuki, who glanced at me, and sat down demurely in her seat.
At that, Miyuki let out a dry laugh as if dumbfounded, then turned her head. Unconsciously touching her thigh was a bonus. I chuckled as I watched her, who still seemed to have the lingering feeling of the rooftop, and then, as the supervisor entered, I looked up at the ceiling, closing and opening my eyes tightly.
Why did I hate exams so much? Of course, exams were also one of the clichés of youth stories, and I had gained confidence that I would get pretty good grades in the remaining exams after the math exam, but it was just… annoying.
“Focus, you dummy…”
Miyuki’s scolding directed at me. I propped my elbows on the desk, turned to her, and quietly asked,
“Are you sleeping at my place tonight?”
“…I don’t know. I’ll think about it and decide.”
After a major event within the academy, Miyuki would show a cold demeanor for a short while. It was always like that. She would be angry with herself for breaking the rules, but at the same time, she wouldn’t dislike doing it, so she would feel a little guilty… So that mixed reaction unconsciously burst out.
I chuckled as I watched her doing cute things, then, as the supervisor tapped the teacher’s desk a couple of times, I turned my gaze to the desk. I decided to concentrate, as Miyuki said.
I had to do well on the last exam so I could confidently say it during the school trip. I would tell her I did well on the exam, so I would sleep in the same room as her.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
When all the final exams were over, the students’ gloomy expressions brightened considerably. I, too, feeling liberated, stretched with a similar expression to theirs. And then I said to Tetsuya, who was letting out a long sigh,
“Did you do well?”
“Me? So-so…”
Confidence was etched on his face, just like before the math self-check. Did he do well? Or was he mistaken again? It seemed likely to be the latter, but since he had made one blunder at lunchtime, it didn’t seem to be baseless confidence.
“How about you?”
At his subsequent question, I shrugged my shoulders and replied,
“I think I did so-so too.”
“Really? I hope you did well.”
He was saying things he didn’t mean. I ended the conversation with him by letting out a wry laugh, then looked towards Miyuki, who had finished talking with the supervisor and asked for a moment of attention.
“You know we’re going on a school trip to Hokkaido the day after tomorrow, right? You need to prepare extra clothes and toiletries separately, and since the weather is supposed to be very cold, make sure to pack warm clothes. I’ll make another announcement tomorrow.”
“”Yes!””
Miyuki, pleased with the answers heard in unison, said goodbye to everyone for their hard work and returned to her seat. Afterwards, she leaned towards me and asked,
“No club activities today, right?”
“No.”
“Then you and Tetsuya-kun stay together. I need to stop by the student council room.”
“What are you doing in the student council room?”
“The usual, I guess. Solving problems that arise within the school, and meetings related to the next semester…”
“Problems that arise within the school? Like lunchtime today?”
At that, Miyuki flinched and looked around. Relieved by the bustling atmosphere of the classroom, she slapped my thigh with a smack! and widened her eyes.
“Be quiet…!”
“I spoke quietly though.”
“Just don’t speak…!”
“Sorry, sorry. Contact me when the meeting is over. Leave your school bag here.”
“…Okay.”
Miyuki piled books into her bag and carefully placed them on my desk. And then, taking advantage of the moment when the surrounding students’ gazes were elsewhere, she gently stroked the back of my neck with her slender hand and left the classroom.
Tetsuya should have seen Miyuki’s skinship like that… He was too engrossed in talking with his friend. It was a shame. Still, I planned to openly stick by Miyuki during the school trip, so I would take comfort in that.
I stood up from my seat, slung Miyuki’s heavy bag over my shoulder, and nudged Tetsuya, who was talking about games with a friend.
“Hey. I’m leaving first.”
“Where? Miyuki said we were going to a cafe today. To check our scores…”
“I’m going to drop Miyuki’s bag in the car and then quickly stop by the club room.”
“Club room? But there are no club activities today…”
“We still have club activities tomorrow, don’t we? I’m going to fold a few towels in preparation.”
“You’re diligent. Want me to help?”
“It’s fine. How long will it take… I’m going.”
“Yeah, good luck.”
Because you think so simply, you’re losing all the heroines to me. Isn’t exploring deserted places essential for conquering heroines? There might be a chance to find a heroine and have a conversation to increase affection, but not putting in the legwork was a disqualification for a protagonist. It was reassuring, truly reassuring.
