1-A Classroom

Third Pov

"Okay, everyone back to your seats."

Chabashira Sae walked in with a stack of papers, the noisy atmosphere died down, a bit. 

"Quiet down a bit, I need you to pay a little more attention in class today."

"What's going on?"

"Why so serious..."

Yuta who had been sleeping, or trying to at least, raised his heads at the increasingly noisy class.

Looking around him, he found his neighbours perked up and looking forward with an attentive gaze.

"Because the end of the month is approaching, there's a small test you need to complete."

Chabashira Sensei picked up the stack of papers in front of her and displayed it to the class.

Some students in the class seemed to pay attention to her words and seemed ready to give the exam while the rest had a different idea…

"Ugh, we have to take a test?"

"Do we really have to give the exam?"

"I thought there wouldn't be such exam in this school."

"Yeah."

"Quiet down, this test is just for future reference. It won't be reflected in your report card, therefore there is no risk involved. Of course, despite all that, cheating is prohibited." Chabashira-sensei replied with crossed arms

Chabashira-sensei started calling the student who were in the front who after taking the answer sheet the passed it along.

As the answer sheets were distributed everyone in the class immediately started answering any answers they could.

Though unlike all the students in the class, Yuta's "Classmates", was simply pondering on Chabashira-sensei's words.

'Does she really mean that?'Yuta yawned as he pondered about that.' I could just ditch the exam?It won't reflect on the exam and there is no risk in it, or at least that's what she said.'

'Oh well doesn't matter.*Yawn*I will just take a nap, the classroom is quite silent right-now anyway.' Having decided on his plans Yuta ditched the exam and proceeded to drift asleep.

As moments passed with everyone focusing on the exam, someone caught what Yuta was doing or lack of.

'Does he intend to abandon the exam?Sensei did say it doesn't have any risk,but still…'Horikita Yuta's neighbour raised a brow at his antic.'Doesn't matter, if anything happens it's his loss anyway.'

Time pressed on as everyone started to check their answers, whether they were correct or not, even trying to cheat but failing under Chabashira's stern full gaze.

"Okay, pass the papers forward."

With this command, starting from the back row, all of the group started passing their papers except one.

Seeing that Yuta was sleeping and didn't know the exam was over, Kyōsuke Okitani decided to wake Yuta up.

"Hmmm."Having been woken up by Kyosuke Yuta, put on his glasses, looked around the class groggily and, after understanding why he was woken up, passed his answer sheet over.

Chabashira-Sensei picked up the test papers and left the classroom without looking back.

Just as Chabashira-Sensei left the classroom returned to its usual noisy state.

'Can't they just stay quiet for a single day.'Yuta inwardly grumbled.

Looking around the classroom Yuta could see that everyone of his Classmates had completely forgotten that they just gave an exam.

'Then again I can't blame them, Sensei did say the exam won't reflect on our Grade Sheet.'Yuta mused.'She will most probably use the marks in the future for something.'

'Blackmailing?No that's too primitive.To scare us?Possibly....Oh well thinking too much about it won't get me anywhere.'Yuta thought as he stretched his body.

Yuta tried to relax his mind in the noisy class yet to no avail.

"Why?"Yuta didn't need to look towards the source of the sound to find out who the person was.

Instead of answering the person Yuta just tilted his head as if he was confused.

"You didn't answer a single question did you?"

"Why?"Seeing Yuta nodding his head Horikita couldn't help but ask.

'Why would anyone just sleep through an exam?Thats absurd.Does he not realise that this exam will be used as future reference,that's probably what she is thinking.'Yuta looked at the confused Horikita.

"I could ask you the same thing,why bother?" 

"Even if she said there will be no risk,the exam will be used as future reference."Horikita looked at Yuta incredulously.

"She said there won't be any risk and as the the reference part,I can just score good marks in the future."

"You aren't bothered by the fact till the next game exam you would unjustly be evaluated."

"Unjustly evaluated?"That whole notion seemed ridiculous to Yuta."Aren't we already being evaluated even as we speak."

Horikita seemed confused at that.

"Look around you.Look around the school ground, you will find nearly every single place has a camera."Yuta looked at Horikita with a calm expression."If that doesn't scream we are being monitored then I don't know what does."

"We are already being monitored.The teacher seem to be waiting for something."

"But the teache-"

"Don't care?"Yuta tilted his head somewhat amused."I could make the arrangement they might just be observing us."

"After all you can perfectly judge a persons character in two situations,one in which they have everything and one in which they have nothing."

Yuta could practically see the cogs spinning in Horikita's head even Ayanokoji seemed to raise his brows, seeming intrigued.
