Hello all Baka and Test Fans. You have had the misfortune of clicking the link to a story made by a undeserving author. I'm sorry...
Lately, I've been having writer's block so I created this story as my casual story that I can have fun with and don't mind messing it up. It has really helped awaken the inner writer within me but in the end remember that it is basically just a joke fic. It's probably worse than my already horrible stories... and that means a lot.
Anyways, here is my Joke Fanfic: Me and My Friends and a Brand New Studying Schedule.
Where do you prefer to do your daily studying?
Himeji Mizuki's Answer:
I seem to prefer to study in the local library. The quiet nature and numerous books give a very academic and luxurious atmosphere. There is a very comfortable chair in the right corner of the second floor in the library that I like to sit in. I also like studying in the comfort of my own home but it proves to be very distracting to do so. The library however can let you get lost in your own concentration while studying. It is a wonderful place.
Teacher's Comments:
That is great for you. The Library is a good place to gather and review knowledge and seems to be the most common answer among our students. I was quite surprised when I heard that even Himeji-san has trouble concentrating while studying at home. It's wonderful that you have a place where you can concentrate on your studies without distractions.
Sakamoto Yuuji's Answer:
I don't have a preference about where I study. I don't care about any distractions or any resources that each location may have as I can concentrate on studying anywhere.
Teacher's Comments:
This is great though a very uncommon answer. Don't worry though cause somebody else has a similar answer to you…
Yoshii Akihisa's Answer:
I don't have a preference about where I study. I don't care about any distraction or any resources that each location may have as I don't understand it either way.
Teacher's Comments:
Honestly… Sometimes I wonder whether you two are in cahoots.
"Hm… I wonder what went wrong…"
I looked down at the sheet of paper in my hands, scratching my chin. It was a slightly cloudy Autumn day and the change of seasons was making itself apparent. The temperature had dropped severely from last week and we still hadn't switched to our winter uniforms yet, thus leaving me shivering in the cold winds. The cold weather created a frigid atmosphere that discouraged studying and encouraged the using of the Kotatsu.
Of course, it was a school day that vaguely fits into a certain frame in time. School had just finished and during our last period, Endou-sensei handed back our last English tests.
"This is quite bad isn't it?"
And of course I got a big red 4 on mine.
How did this happen? I was completely prepared for this test. That's right. I studied a whole 5 minutes before saying goodnight to the world.
"Oi, Akihisa, how did you do on the test?"
"Huh? Yuuji? Ahaha… why would you want to know?"
Behind me, my best friend, Sakamoto Yuuji, approached. With his red hair like a lion's mane and his lax attitude, he seems like a pretty snarky guy but his immense amount of wisdom, physical strength, and cunning makes him an amazing person that you couldn't help but respect.
"Oi, you're hiding your test behind your back…"
"Oh really? Am I doing that? I assure you that nothing's wrong…"
As expected of Yuuji. He instantly spotted the instant that I hid my test paper behind my back. Truly one to be feared.
"Let me guess… you failed?"
Woah, right to the point! He isn't giving me a chance to counter-attack.
"You know, Yuuji… that was a pretty hard test and…"
"Wait stop… let me guess your score…"
Ah, another expected trait from my cool best friend. With his intelligence, he does seem like someone that likes challenges and maybe puzzles. Alright, let's play along and see how close he can get.
"Right… Akihisa, wanna wager a ramen and a ramune?"
A bet? Yuuji must be generous today. And a Ramen and a Ramune as well for something as oddly stacked as guessing a number? This is too easy.
"Alright, Yuuji. Deal."
Yup… there's no way he can guess my score. I have this in the bag. I can't believe Yuuji was so foolish enough to accept this deal. Fool! Ahahaha…
"You got a 4."
"Are you a mind reader!?"
There is no way this guy could've possibly managed to actually calculate my score through the little clues he was given. It has to be scientifically impossible.
"Sheesh, I actually was correct. Aren't you ashamed that you got that score?"
A thick arrow pierced my heart as the completely true statement was placed bluntly in front of me.
Yuuji shook his head and sighed, completely ignoring my heart being shattered into pieces. I desperately tried to cling onto the little pride I had left.
"Yeah but…"
"What do you think your parents would think if they find out low your grades are? How do you expect to explain this to your sister when you get home?"
Agggh… Two more arrows intersected and crashed into my body. I was taken down to a knee after taking the considerable damage.
What a fearsome attack of guilt… it is true that my parents would be disappointed in me if they knew my scores and surely Ane-san would punish me once I got home… This completely casual way of placing the cruel reality into one's face was truly powerful. Only someone at the legggh… Two more arrows intersected and crashed into my body. I was taken down to a knee after taking the considerable damage.
What a fearsome attack of guilt… it is true that my parents would be disappointed in me if they knew my scores and surely Ane-san would punish me once I got home… This completely casual way of placing the cruel reality into one's face was truly powerful. Only someone at the level of Yuuji could pull this off.
But no, I must not lose confidence. Once I do it will all be over. I must stand my ground and fight back with all I have…
That's right. This was the lifestyle that I had chosen for myself. There was no way that I can back down now!
"What you're saying is right however…"
I wiped the sweat off my forehead. Here it comes! My ultimate comeback! This is it!
"Honestly, Akihisa… this is why you can't get a girlfriend."
"AAAGGGGHHHHHH!"
A giant explosion set off in my very soul, destroying every fragment of my reality. I was sent flying into the air, a shockwave of pain, transmitting across my body.
The ultimate truth and the ultimate weapon. Such devastating strength… I admit my defeat…
"Anyways, how do you expect to defeat Class A at this rate?"
"Huh? Class A?"
I manage to get up from my defeat and wipe off the dust on my blazer.
Yuuji had his cool and serious face that only appeared during occasions that deserved it. He stared at me with a harsh, cold glare.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten why you decided to defeat class A on the very first day!?"
"What!?"
The once-known child prodigy glared at me with an intensity that seemed to blow me right off my feet.
On the very first day… that's right, I had promised myself and persuaded Yuuji to declare war on class A. I had been dissatisfied with the difference in our classes, thought it was unfair… and most of all…
"Yuuji… You're right!"
"Looks like you're finally serious Akihisa."
Yuuji finally smiled as he leant back on the classroom wall. I myself good feel like this was a wonderful turning point in my life… I would be serious now. We are going to defeat Class A!
"I'm gonna get serious now! Watch my score start sky-rocketing soon enough!"
"Now that you're serious it looks like I can't lose, Akihisa."
Me and Yuuji looked at each other and could only grin. With our mutual feelings, we fist-pumped, smiling the whole way. There was no doubt that there was a reason that this lethargic, annoying, crafty and manipulative guy was my best friend.
"You know that this isn't gonna be easy right?"
"Of course, I'm completely ready for this!"
I can't have any doubts. I know that for someone like me, a little studying won't do much… And we won't have much time until the battle with Class A starts… Within this timeframe I have to become strong enough to take down the looming giant known as the A class.
I clenched my fist just to show him how serious I was.
"That's good… to help you out I've already arranged special tutors to teach you…"
"Huh?"
What was this sudden revelation? Special Tutors?
With no understanding, I scratched my head thinking hard about it, causing Yuuji to put on a prideful face.
"I know that you won't be able to do much by yourself so I've called in a few favors and arranged a select few to teach you. It should help you a lot."
"Yuuji…"
The ex-delinquent put his hand on my shoulder and gave me an unimaginably warm smile.
"What are friends for after all? If this is the most I can do for you, than it shall be done."
"Yuuji you…"
I was on the verge of tears… To think that I was lucky enough to have this guy as a friend… a guy who would do so much for me…
"How can I possibly return this favor to you…"
"No need to returning any favors… As long as you study your hardest… That is enough for me."
I will… I will… I'll study if it's the last thing I do. No matter what…
Yuuji casually let go of my shoulder and slowly backed up.
"Don't fail me okay? Study every day and don't play any video games."
"Of course. I won't back down after you've done so much…"
"Even on the weekends don't do anything but study. No matter what…"
"Affirmative."
I saluted to show that I completely understood.
"You know what since you won't be playing them, why don't you give all your games to me so you don't get tempted to play them."
"Oh… Alright. You know best."
I nodded along, and Yuuji finally picked up his bag and headed down the hall.
"Oh and don't forget the Ramen and Ramune… Hope you the best of luck."
"Thanks… huh?"
Wait… what is this feeling of regret in my gut…
…
…
…
"I've been duped!"
If you have managed to read all the way to this little footnote than I congratulate you. I understand that the ending is pretty confusing so I'll just quickly tell you that at the end Akihisa realises that he was tricked into giving all his games to Yuuji. Anyways, If you like it than please review. If you hate it, please review. I need to go and regret my past sins now...
