Comment: Just a break from studying, some writing I came up with when revising (hm...)
Synopsis: Shiro decides to help Saber pass her sciences, whether or not the right or wrong way...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue: The Results
It was a bright and sunny day in Fuyuki City, yet the students of Fuyuki High School felt otherwise.
It was the dreadful release of the Mid-Year Exams, which nobody (probably except Rin (1)) could say that they had done well. The tests were tough and there was little time allocated to finish each test.
All of the students of Class 4-Q were sitted at their desks. When the bell had rung, Ms Fujimura, the "Taiga", promptly walked in and they greeted each other.
"Alright, class, you know what will be happening now, right? I am going to return you your Mid-Year Exam Papers. Come and collect your papers in register number order."
"One, Ayami Kokotuo," she said, and the list of papers came quickly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Shiro collected his papers, his heart thumped as quickly as the imaginary drum roll. When Taiga handed him the papers, she added casually, "Well done."
Shiro immediately heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his grades.
English: 85/100 (Holy cow...)
But when he started seeing the rest of the grades, his jaw fell from his head to his toe.
Maths: 50/100 (...)
Chemistry: 30/50
Japanese: 100/150 (...)
Biology: 30/50
And the list goes on... And then, Taiga casually added again, "For English."
Shiro went back to his seat with a frozen face and comically dropped the papers on the table.
Back there, Saber muttered, "He screwed..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Saber!"
The said blonde immediately hurried to the teacher's desk.
"Well, Saber, well done for your languages and mathematics, but for your sciences..."
Saber knew what her Ms Fujimura was talking about. She received over her papers and promptly looked at her science scores.
Chemistry: 10/50 (Holy cow...)
Biology: 15/50 (Wow...)
(And here is the rest of her grades; English: 90/100, Japanese: 135/150, Maths: 100/100 (She must be an accurate genius...))
"Oh well, that is not too bad..." Saber muttered to herself as she returned to her seat. But just then, she unintentionally peaked at Urameshi, the class troublemaker, and his scores, and saw a big '49' for Chemistry and '40' for Biology.
"Maybe not..." she added.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saber normally loved lunch breaks. This meant defeating the nemesis she always ranked number one, until now (2). However, she was in a rather bad mood today and skipped lunch, even though she was unusually hungry today.
She joined the table near the gang and sat down.
Rin was busy talking to Sakura about some rock band known as the 'Rocking Mads'; Ilya was pestering Shiro in the usual manner (3), but this time also showing off her marks for school (English: 80/100; considering she is a German, that is quite good, Japanese: 140/150; that is even better; Maths: 85/100; at least better that Shiro; Chemistry: 40/50; Biology: 40/50; hey... that's persistent). Saber sat beside Rin uncomfortably.
Rin took no notice of her unusually solemn face and asked, "How were the tests?"
Sakura chided, "Rin..."
Saber just kept quiet and a blue aura appeared around her. Rin sweatdropped at the aura of depression. "Is it really that bad?"
Saber handed her the papers. Rin took a look, and exclaimed, "Wow... Saber, you did better than I did last year for Maths and English than I did last year... Your Japanese is alright... Your Sciences are..."
Rin simply said after looking through, "I shall give you tutoring right away, if that is the last thing I do..." (4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Footnotes:
(1) Rin was saying: "The paper is so easy; I feel the need to set the exams myself." Everyone around her starting shuddering in fear at her confidence and the marks they would get if the exams were set by her.
(2) Saber thought: "Alright... so hunger is really not that important... I shall rank science my number one nemesis... and see how I fail Chem and Bio again!"
(3) "Onii-chan!"
"Ugh... Ilya, stop doing that!"
"But Onii-chan, don't you want to see my (fill in the blanks)?"
"Yes, but what does that have to do with coiling yourself all around my arm?"
The people around gave death stares, chanting: "You have Saber, Rin and Sakura, and now you want Ilya? Die... die... die..."
(4) Rin dropped the papers in shock and rubbed her eyes before picking them up and looking at the score again. 10/50 and 15/50 again?! She flipped through the pages and looked at all the penmarks all over and thought she was seeing the wrong paper. It
reminded her of an Elementary one's answers but she recognised the handwriting and sighed.
"Perhaps she need to take tuition... I take that back. She needs it right away if she is to pass her End Of Year..."
