Chapter 27: Chapter 31- Well What A Not Surprise?

It has been only few days since class 1-4 managed to reverse the penalty given to them by the principal unto class 1-1 and we haven't heard a peep from any of their students since.

Today could be considered one of the slowest days in class. Miss Aiko was teaching something along the lines of history and I couldn’t stop myself from zoning in then zoning out of the lesson.

I wouldn’t call it boring but I almost fell asleep on myself numerous times.

Only occasionally getting poked with a blue ballpoint pen by the one and only Minori in an attempt to keep me awake.

*Poke*

No response from me and a few seconds later.

*Poke*

“Stop sleeping in class you slacker”

Maybe if I ignore her she will go away or then again she could stab me with the pen. Should I take this gamble?

I think not.

“It’s hard” I complained with my eyes barely open.

Miss Aiko silently crept up towards me while rolling up a notebook then smacked me on the head
with it.

I was jolted awake and almost fell out of my seat.

“You should be paying more attention to the lesson Mr Sato”

Minori looked at me and shook her head. She had a look on her face, the look was basically
telling me “I told you so”

I groaned then put my head on the desk.

Miss Aiko again hit me with the notebook and said “Sleep at home”

I looked up at her, “Ok that one really hurt”

I did sleep at home but thinking back on it my nap was only like 2 hours. So that factor mixed with a lullaby that is called this lesson is basically calling for me to take a powernap right here and right now.

“Once again you should pay attention because this may come on the midterms”

Huh midterms already? Time really waits on no man

I slowly raised my head then reclined on my seat and exhaled.

Miss Aiko walked forward to the front of the class again then placed the notebook she smacked me with moments ago on the teacher's desk.

She then exhaled, “The next class clash may be coming soon so I need you guys to be focused and try for at least third place because if you don’t. The principal may be forced to expel the student he doesn’t see fit to be a member of the school. Remember all the exams are carefully monitored by the Board of Directors so they will settle on the weakest link. This School was founded to create exceptional students, if you are underperforming you will get the ax. That goes for written exams or class clash examinations”

The class looked around at each other. They got another grim reminder that even though this is a regular school, it still has special rules.

Genji folded his arms, “Well consider the mid terms successfully passed”

Some of our classmates looked at him as if he was a bit delirious. I get it, Genji and written exams probably don’t mix well. Like oil and water. I would personally like to have faith in him I think. I mean the guy looks dedicated. Maybe his little date with Minori boosted his desire to succeed.

Sena sighed, “Genji let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here”

Genji looked at her, “Are you scared that I will get a higher grade than you?”

Him saying that is like a human covered in animal blood talking smack to a lion

Sena turned her attention away from Genji, “I am going to pretend I didn’t hear that”

Miss Aiko was then summoned to the principal’s office via SPA (The school’s public address system)

Miss Aiko groaned, “Do some silent study time or something until I come back” then she left the class in a slow pace. Obviously she wasn’t too thrilled about being summoned to the office.

Yogi addressed the class, "Alright guys we have to get serious about this. We don't know when is the next clash and Miss Aiko wants us to get at least third place but I am sure we can get 1st place easily"

The class looked at him the same way they looked at Genji when he said that he would pass the midterms with ease. I must say that some of my classmates really lack faith in others.

Genji got up from his seat, "Yeah we will. I want to win this 3 year war and go on to achieve everything I want in life. After all I have somebody special supporting me" 

While saying that he looked at Minori and smiled.

Minori quickly looked to the side to avoid eye contact.

I attempted cracked a slight smile at the entire situation but Minori noticed it instantly so I was forced to bite my lips.

I could feel the death stare from her burning a hole into my very soul. Let me tell you it's not a nice experience 

I nervously turned to Minori, "Yes how may I assist you?"

Minori exhaled, "Never mind"

I glanced over to the right side of me, beyond Minori and observed Kaori Murata. She seems a bit more on edge than before.

Before I could fully form another thought in my head. The classroom door opened and in walked Miss Aiko holding a sheet of white paper.

She had this look of 'wow I sure didn't expect this to happen so soon' on her face. I'm not even sure how I came up with that observation but it just popped into my head.

The entire class noticed a change in her mood and became quiet.

Miss Aiko then read from the paper in a tone that sounded like I told you so, "Class 1-4 has been drastically underperforming in the class clashes and due to them getting last place again. The Board of Directors along the principal has agreed to punish the class. Class 1-4 will be tasked with writing an exam with the punishment of whoever places last will have 20% of their grade taken off of their final midterm score. If the student's grade falls under 60% after the penalty is applied then he/she will be expelled from the school. Also with that being said, if the student who receives the penalty gets expelled then class 1-4 will receive a handicap in the next class clash"

Everybody was dead silent after hearing that announcement. Reality was finally sinking in for some of them. They had to actually get serious otherwise they will risk being expelled. 

Minori kept quiet and stared forward.

Well this is quite the turn of events I must say. One of us might actually get expelled.
