Komi's schizophrenic friend
Author's note: Hey ladies and gentlemen, there are a few things I want to talk about.
First, thanks for reading this story! It helps me stay motivated and make more chapters.
Second, as some of you (at least those who have read through the Komi-san Manga until about Chapter 21) might notice, I've left out some content from the Manga. I'll usually stick to the more important story arcs, but I'll publish "Compensation Chapters" when the time is right. I have one bonus arc already planned out, but it will take a bit until I'll release it.
Third, for all of you out there, stay healthy! I know that quarantine and social distancing might be stressful for some of you, and as a bunch of movies, shows, anime and manga are postponed because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I'll try to put out more chapters so that you have something to read.
With that out of the way, enjoy this chapter!
-Communication 7: Physical & Fitness Examination-
Makeru Yadano. While she is nothing but a humble plebeian, she wants to achieve something today. That is to beat Shouko Komi in the Physical Examination.
"Why is that girl staring at Shouko?", Tsumeno asked to himself, "And why does she want to defeat her in a Physical Examination?"
There were four Examination Points: Vision, Body Height, Sitting Height, and Weight. If Yadano-san would come out in three categories, she would win.
"Damn, imagining being better than the Goddess herself would be the best feeling ever!", Yadano-san thought to herself, "Also, why hasn't she answered the teacher yet? Well, I'm not too confident with my vision, but I might win this."
"Komi, your vision is 1.5!" the teacher said, which confused Yadano-san. She didn't notice that Shouko used her fingers to point at the directions.
"Did Komi-san resort to such underhanded tactics?! Unforgiveable!", Makeru thought, "Fine, I'll do it fair and square!"
Makeru Yadano still reached 0.7 in the end. The rest of the Physical Examination then continued normally.
"So, then let's see the results..." Yadano-san thought.
Komi's Height: 168 cm
Komi's Weight: 48 kg
Komi's Sitting Height: 85 cm
Komi's Vison: 1.5
Yadano's Height: 156 cm
Yadano's Weight: 52 kg
Yadano's Sitting Height: 87 cm
Yadano's Vision: 0.7
"Well, she is taller than me. But I got higher stats in Weight and Sitting Height. I have lower Vision, so it's a draw.", Yadano thought, "HOLD ON, DON'T I HAVE HIGHER STATS IN WEIGHT AND SITTING HEIGHT?! How can this be? How can I be shorter than her, but have a higher Weight and Sitting Height? But wait, that isn't always bad. A higher Weight is good in harsh conditions like the savannah, and I'm sure there are countries where women with shorter legs are more attractive. So it's a draw, Komi-san."
"Hey Shouko, what are your results?" Tsumeno asked as he came back from his examination. He then looked at Komi's results and was pleased.
Can I look at your results too?
"Hm? Of course." Tsumeno responded in his usual tone.
Taikoro's Height: 168,4 cm
Taikoro's Weight: 71 kg
Taikoro's Sitting Height: 72,9 cm
Taikoro's Vision: 2.75
You've got a pretty good Vision, Tsumeno.
"Well, everyone in my family does." Tsumeno said as he shrugged the compliment away.
Some time later...
"It's Komi-san in her sportswear and ponytail!" almost everybody screamed as the Fitness Examination were about to begin.
"Hey you two, what about a little competition?" Tsumeno asked.
Okay.
"Sure..." Makeru muttered.
"Hey Taiko-kun!", Najimi shouted out, "Oh, you're not wearing your kimono for once?"
"I don't want my normal clothes to get full of sweat or dirty.", Tsumeno replied, "And now shut up."

Komi: 24 kg
Yadano: 18 kg
Taikoro: 45 kg

It was a total defeat for Yadano-san.
"Anyways, it's only the 50 m Sprint remaining.", Makeru thought, "If I loose this one, it will be an utter defeat. But seriously, that creepy guy is even more frightening in the exam. Just how ripped is he?"
"Ready, set, go!" the teacher shouted. Komi-san and Yadano-san then started running.
"Heh, pretty fast, ain't I?", Makeru asked without speaking, "My legs are the only thing that I'm confident it. IT WILL BE MY WIN THIS TIME!"
Just mere moments later, Shouko magnificently ran past Makeru and reached the end of the track after running for 6,89 seconds. Yadano-san could only watch in awe.
"Komi-san, after seeing you running, I realized just how impure and filthy my heart is.", Yadano-san said, "This is my defeat. Thank you for having a duel with me."
Makeru then stretched out her hand to Shouko, who didn't shake it.
"You don't even want to shake my hand.", Makeru muttered, "You're right, if I shook your hand, then it would mean that I've given up. That means that you recognize me as your formidable rival, don't you?"
Taikoro-kun and Komi-san just stood there confused.
"I won't loose to you next time, Komi-san!" Yadano-san exclaimed, which meant that Shouko how had a rival.
"Want to be rivals with me, too?" Tsumeno asked out of nowhere.
"Never.", Makeru answered, "J-Just who are you? You act like a videogame character that already has endgame equipment at the beginning!"
"First, my name is Tsumeno Taikoro.", Tsumeno replied, "Second, don't compare me to something in those darn videogames!"
"Eh, didn't you like videogames back when we were friends, Taiko-kun?" Najimi asked.
"The old Tsumeno Taikoro was weak!", Tsumeno said, "I destroyed him and brought the remnants to the darkest depths of my brain!"
"Taikoro-kun, you're next!" the teacher shouted out before Tsumeno could punch Najimi. Tsumeno then quickly made his way to the start.
"Videogame character, pfft. What a bullshit." Tsumeno thought to himself.
"Ready, set, go!" the teacher yelled. Everyone then was shocked when Tsumeno ran off at full speed and reached the end of the track in 4,92 seconds. Shortly after, Tsumeno collapsed from exhaustion.
"Taiko-kun?!" Najimi exclaimed in shock. A doctor then came by and treated the exhausted Tsumeno.
