Nonsense

Chapter 3

Rin: what a pussy😺

Nanase:🙂🙂🙂

Nanase stopped using his phone. In any minute their prof might arrive. Nanase also don't know why he sit besides this guy, maybe because he won't give him a hard time. Maybe just his paranoia causing him to want to be close to quite kid so he will be spared.

He's a cherry boy but got really nervous talking to new people. He wanted to wake the boy up before their prof arrived but what can he do? the prof already arrived. He's already panicking inside but his prof seems not to bother.

"Okay students! I'll give you an assessment test to answer. This will determine which language you'll want to learn. Today is just an orientation. If you get a full score on this assessment, you can drop this subject. That's all."

The prof started to distribute the papers and when she came into Nanase's table, "Wakey wakey. You have a test to ace mister." Nanase felt bad for the boy, when it shows it's face, it shows the visibility of his annoyance when their prof interrupted his sleep.

His eyes has the same annoyance like Rin-san... I'm scared...

Their prof then continue to distribute the papers, Nanase's seatmate didn't utter a word, just get his pen from his bag then started to scribble onto paper after reading some sentences.

Why is he writing there!?

Nanase didn't say a word, to scared to the boy. He would just mind his business, then their prof started to explain what they would do. "As you can see, try to translate the essay that's written on your paper, that's all you need to do." Nanase grab his notebook to start writing the draft before he write it down to his paper he'll pass later.

German? French? Dutch? Slovenia? What ever the language is, when Nanase saw it, he suddenly feel like reading an alien language. He doesn't understand a thing, he do speak french a bit but mama mia, he doesn't understand even a single word!

Meanwhile his seatmate is translating the essay with no sweat. Nanase wonder if the boy is really doing the test or just writing whatever he wants. No, Nanase must focus on his own test, he shouldn't worry about others.

His seatmate then stopped scribbling on the paper after half an hour while he still have a blank paper. He suddenly feel pressured, Nanase look around the classroom, his other classmates are having a hard time too, but this man, this guy finished it half an hour! That doesn't make sense!

He continues to try to understand what's in the paper, he kinda grasp the wording, he understand few, but a sentence just don't make sense.

Then his seatmate tap his shoulder, gaining his attention.

Is this man pitying me right now?

The other doesn't speak, just pointed at his paper.

Eh... is he mute? I'm feeling guilty all of a sudden...

"Uh... you want to look at my paper?" His seatmate just nod, he gave his paper and he started reading it, then give it back to him. His seatmate once again point at something, this time it his notebook.

I feel so guilty right now... I judge him bad but now it's like he's helping me....

His seatmate write something before sliding back his notebook to him.

_You know how to read German?_

Nanase wonder what's the connection between him knowing how to read german to translating the french essay into japanese. Still Nanase gave the boy an answer. Not connected to his confusion but he found the penmanship of his seatmate quite beautiful.
