Chapter 87 - Cleared

*Smack*

After the exam finished, they could hear a loud sound of someone's back being slapped.

The attention of all students in the class turned to Ringo and Ryou before they back to their own business since this is a normal occurrence for them.

"Hey what was that for!" Ryou said while rubbing his back.

"I've been holding so much not to slap you in the middle of the exam."

"What's going on?" Ryuji asked.

"This monster, he slept in the middle of the exam."

"Huh?" Honami turned her body.

"Slept? What do you mean?" Fumino asked.

"I think he already finished the exam around 15 minutes after the start of the exam and spent his next 15 minutes for sleeping."

"This is slandering, you have no proof!" Ryou denied Ringo's accusation, acting like he was the victim.

"How could someone not doing anything for 20 minutes in the middle of the test, not even your hand moved an inch!"

"I'm too concentrated on the exam?"

"When all of our friends tried their best, this monster just sleeping like it was nothing."

"You're so harsh Ringo, I'm hurt."

"Haaaah~ Well, I've done with my revenge, I'm satisfied now."

"Your revenge was hurting other people, are you an S?"

Ringo lift her right arm and Ryou move to evade her slap.

"Hahahaha..." Ryou and Ryuji laughing at Ringo.

Fumino close her lips with her right hand while laughing lightly.

"You guys really enjoy yourself." Honami said, a sad smile plastered on her lips.

They knew Honami was disturbed with the problem with the letter in the locker, they already tried to cheer her up. But still, as long as the problem is not fixed yet, her mind still not going to be at ease.

Ryou just smiled, and Ryuji nod at him.

"Don't be sad Honami. Trust me, your problem will be fixed as soon as possible~"

"Thank you Ryou. I've already explained to the teacher in the staff room, and I hope they will do what the best for us."

"Let's go buy a drink at our usual place, I'll message Airi-chan." Ringo give them a suggestion.

"Good idea, I wanna know how she did in the exam." Fumino said.

"Okay then, let's cheer Honami with strawberry milk from the vending machine then."

"That's a cheap way to cheer up your friend Ryou." Ryuji mocking him.

"Shut up! It's not like you buy..." before Ryou finished his words, Ryuji close his mouth with his hand.

"Aha..ahaha... what are you talking about Ryou!"

"Fmmhh... fhmmee.. fhmmoo... (Let me go!)"

...

At their meeting place, Airi already waiting for them.

"Airi-chaan~" Ringo calling her.

"Ah, Ringo-chan, Honami-chan, Fumino-chan, Ryuji-kun and Ryou-kun. Hello..."

"Sup Airi. How are you?" Ryou lift his right hand for a high five.

"I'm good, how are you guys?" she slap his hand.

"We're doing okay, except..." Ryuji turn his head towards Honami.

"Hi... Airi-chan."

"Honami-chan." She hugs her, she already know the thing about the letter since she got one too.

"Don't worry, we're always here for you. And I don't believe about the content of that paper."

"Thank you Airi-chan. I never thought that one day you're going to comfort me like now." She smiled at Airi.

"Well, thanks to you guys I've changed. And thanks to this guy too..." she pointed her index finger to Ryou.

He just lift both of his hands "Spare me please."

He smiled at Airi and asked, "How's your exam?"

"Changing the subject huh..." Ryuji said.

"Yeah, I'm going to ask about buyi..." again, before he said the complete sentence, Ryuji closed Ryou's mouth with his hand while saying, "I give up, okay, stop it!"

The three girls just looking at each other, don't know about what the boys mean.

"Hahahaha... well, back to my question, how's your exam Airi?"

"Hm.. I think we're doing okay, we did lots of study before the exam after all. How about your class?"

"My treat." He said while giving the drink to them.

"Well, I'm confident we're going to get this." Honami said.

"Yeah, all of us worked so hard and did our best." Fumino added.

"Even though we already know who is going to be the top in the first year again." Ryuji looking at a certain boy who drink his coffee.

The girls too followed looking at him.

"Hmm? What? If you want a coffee, buy it by yourself, I already treat you guys with your usual drinks."

"Look, this is why I always want to hit him! He always pissed me off!" Ringo said with her hand swinging in the air, but Honami and Fumino held her.

"Hmph... what an ungrateful little girl." Ryou smirked at her.

"You!!!"

"Now.. now.. Don't get mad at him or you'll get infected by him. Let's get back to the dormitory." Honami calming Ringo who stick out her tongue to Ryou.

But Ryou only laughing at her and make her more pissed than before.

..

When they arrived at the dormitory, many students gathered around their locker.

"Hey, look. It's them..."

"Ah yeah from class 1B."

"So, it's all cleared huh..."

They could hear a lot of murmurs coming from the students.

Ryou and Ryuji already knew the source of this commotion.

'Finally, he fixed it huh.'

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"It seems like something is on our locker."

Honami, Ringo, and Fumino had questioning looks on their faces.

Remembered about the problem from before, Honami brave herself to open her locker.

After opening her locker, she found a paper.

[It's all cleared. First-year student Ichinose Honami of Class B points are collected legally. – Ryūen Kakeru]

-Don't be sad Honami. Trust me, your problem will be fixed as soon as possible.-

Suddenly, she remembered Ryou's words and turn to him, only to see him smiling at her.
