"The test is over, whelps. Put your pens away and hand over your answer sheets like good little dogs.
And with that, I do believe exams have come to a close." Professor Crewel said

Everyone started to cheer. "YEAAAH!"

"Down! SIT! Don't start celebrating yet. Any bad boys who fare poorly in their exams..." Crewel snapped "....will be given mandatory remedial lessons over the winter holidays. Consider yourself warned. Class dismissed."

"Ah, my hand is sore from all that writing!" I stretched out my fingers

"Whew, FINALLY. It's over!" Ace exclaimed

"I gave it my absolute best. All that's left now is to wait for our scores to come back." Deuce wore a tired smile

"Myah hah hah! No lousy test is a match for my brilliant mind." Grim smirked

"Really? You guys usually look like your lives just flashed before your eyes after written exams. Now you're changing your tune?" Ace grinned

"Heh heh. You bet your bottom thaumark I am. Today marks the dawn of a new and improved me! You better be ready, 'cause soon you'll all be callin' me "Galaxy Brain Grim" and beggin' for scraps of my knowledge." Grim crossed his arms in pride

"That's a bold claim, but I'm pretty confident in my performance this time myself. No offense, but I'm definitely gonna outscore you." Deuce boasted

"Says the guy who's perpetually biting his lip and parely staying above a falling grade." Ace scoffed. "Of course, this test was a piece of cake for me, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come out on top."

"All three of you sound confident, makes me wonder if you did something." I stared at them

"Whaaat, that's a brave accusation. Me, cheat?" Ace dramatically cried

"You must have all studied hard." Yuu packed up their stuff

"Pretty much, yup! This's baby-tier stuff." Ace quickly grinned

"That was a quick change of personality, but I'm gonna leave now." I grabbed Slappy, and my bag

"Are you going to that club you joined recently." Yuu asked

"Yeah, I finally got bored enough." Knowing damn well, I was begged to join the club

"Why did you ignore my summons yesterday? You clearly don't understand the position you're in." Azul questioned the student in front of him

"L-look, I was just dealing some, uh, stomach problems..."

"Is that true? Because lying would not do you any favors, I assure you." Azul smiled

"Yes, it's true! I was sick to my stomach."

"Jade, why don't you help motivate our friend here to speak a bit more honestly?" Azul turned to Jade

"As you wish. Now, now, there's no need to flinch. This won't hurt one bit.
If you could look my way?" Jade had the student look at him. "Yes, just like that, thank you. Shock the Heart."

"Hrk! Wh-what was that?!"

Jade chuckled. "Now, let's try this again. Why didn't you respond to Azul's summons yesterday?"

"Because I was sick..."

"...sick of running myself ragged doing the dirty work of a low-down, black-hearted cheater like Azul, that is!"
