Vocaliod Academy. One of the most prestiges performing arts school in Japan; however it is best known for it P.A.S.T wars. Performance Academic Summoning Test. It is a battle between classes using avatars using the state of the art technology. Another, is based on classroom equipment depending on a student's performance. It is at the start of the year, students take a performance and placement test, based on these results, they are divided into 6 level different classrooms. At the top, Class A and all the way through the bottom Class F. Since students are called upon to take both tests, it can be nerve wracking and difficult.
But it does mean, I can't handle it. Akaito thought, as he flipped his pencil.
Aw yeah! I'm totally gonna move up this year! I aced the performance test this year. Now all I have to do is, get a decent score on the placement test! He cheerfully thought as he started his test.
While Akaito was taking his test, he couldn't help but hear faint breathing beside him.
"Huh?" Looking over beside him to see what could have caused such as sound. Nonetheless, by then it was too late. And the sound of a body dropping sounded through the classroom.
"Oh no! Meiko!" he shouted. Kneeling beside her to hold her in his arms. " Hey Meiko! What happen?!
Akaito said attempting to help her get back on her feet. "Don't worry, hang in there! "
Coming over to see what the commotion was, the teacher spoke " If you leave the room, you both will automatically receive zeros. Is that understood? "
"But teach," Akaito protested " How is she supposed to take the test if she's too sick?! Automatically failing is just cruel! "
"So is staying healthy. Maybe she should have thought about that before taking this test! "
"You bastard!" Akaito growled, while he held Meiko.
"How dare you!?" the teacher yelled. "Go back to your seat right now or I fail you! "
Before Akaito could protest, he felt something tugging at his jacket. "Huh? "
"Wait…Akaito." Meiko wheezed " Take your test. I'll be okay. Don't worry.''
"But Meiko, you're too sick-" Meiko place her finger over his lips, silencing him.
"It's okay", she weakly huffed.
For a moment the room was still, as Akaito looked at Meiko; she was suffering. She was willing to suffer from a cold, then having him take her to the infirmary and fail.
"Meiko" he spoke. Lifting her up bridal style, he kicked down the door and ran all the way to the infirmary. Despite the teacher's yelling at him.
The very next day….
It was a beautiful Tuesday morning. The Cherry Blossoms were in bloom; a calm wind blew in the air. But despite the calm atmosphere, a frantic, Akaito was running to school.
"Huff…Almost there!"
Just as he was about to enter the schools entrance; a large man blocks his path "You're late, Akaito! "
"Oh crap, not Big AI!" Akaito panicked. "I love to talk Big AI, but I have to get to class! "
"Its Mr. AI to you and I have something to give you, " he said, while hold out a manilla envelope to Akaito.
"Huh? What is it?" He said, taking the envelope in his hands.
"It your last placement test result, " he spoke calmly. "You'll belong to that class from now on, depending on your grade. "
With sheer anticipation, Akaito open the envelope and took out the, results.
"Akaito" Big AI spoke
"Hm?"
"I have been waiting a long time to tell you this." He said, while he looked as if he was deep thought. "While watching over you last year. I had no doubt you were talented in the musical arts, but academically…" he said looking off into the distant "I suspected that you might be just an idiot. "
As the cherry blossoms flowed in the wind, Big AI spoke again. " But contrary to my doubts, I was wrong." Looking at Akaito and putting his hand on his shoulder. " After looking at your test score, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that you are a …
Opening the paper, Akaito looked inside to see what his score was…a F.
" That you're a complete idiot."
