I got my first 100 on a test in algebra and it was written in red ink. My reaction: . . . MEIN GOTT!

Also, uh, sorry akaoisora... and probably most of the other readers...


Ayano woke up and quickly sat up in her bed, sweating a lot.

"Wh... what happened...?!" Ayano was shaking.

She picked up her phone and looked at the date.

"Today is that day...!" Ayano gasped.

"Ayano-nee, if you get up you'll be late for school," Kano said from outside of her door.

"I-I'm getting ready!" Ayano stuttered.

He's right... if I don't hurry up then...! Ayano widened her eyes, remembering Shintaro's limp body.

"No..." Ayano was determined this time.

"I'll save everyone this time!"


"Shtudy at your houshe?" Haruka asked with negima in his mouth.

"Yeah, since the librarian pretty much hates Takane and they still need to study," Shintaro said.

"Can't we go somewhere other than your house?" Takane huffed.

"Unless you want to be hated by more librarians," Shintaro said and Takane jolted.

"Aaahhh! Fine!" Takane yelled while sweating.

"It would be fun to see your house~!" Haruka smiled.

"What about Ayano?" Takane asked.

"What about what?" Ayano smiled as she entered the room.

"Studying together at Shintaro's house!" Haruka exclaimed.

"Eh, sounds like fun!" Ayano agreed.

"..." Shintaro walked out of the room silently.

"Oi! Jerk! You're not gonna greet Ayano?!" Takane yelled.

"It's fine he's probably busy with something," Ayano assured.

"With what? Being a jerk?" Takane grumbled.

"Wait, he didn't tell us his address," Haruka realized.

"That freaking jerk...!" Takane grumbled more.

"Say, what time is it?" Ayano asked.

"Let's see..." Haruka turned to the clock in the room, "Everyone is probably out of their school at this time now."

"I think we should go now," Ayano said as she grabbed their wrists and dragged them out with them quickly taking their bags before being forced to leave.

"We can walk ourselves, you know?!" Takane yelled as they were dragged down the hallways.

"We need to hurry!" Ayano said urgently while walking quicker to the point of running.

"Why?" Haruka asked.

Ayano gritted her teeth not knowing whether to answer or not and slowly stopped and letting go the two of them. She turned to them with her scarf swiveling with her.

"Shintaro is going to die today if we don't reach his house soon."


"Hah?! What do you mean Shintaro's going to die today?!" Kido yelled in disbelief as she ran with them.

"As in he's going to commit suicide today!" Ayano yelled.

"But why would Shintaro do that?!" Mary asked as she held onto Seto tightly.

"I... I don't know..." Ayano said.

"Everyone?" Momo turned around asked after she walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.

Ayano quickly lifted up the carpet and grabbed the keys.

"How did you know about that?!" Momo jolted.

"No time to explain!" Ayano quickly pushed and twisted the key into the keyhole and slammed open the door.

Before they entered the house Ayano quickly grabbed a bobby pin out of Kido's hair, who winced. They then ran up the stairs and Ayano did the same thing she did with the key to the bobby pin in Shintaro's door.

Once the door was slammed open only one word could describe what they had saw- horror.

Everyone there had saw Shintaro drive a pair of red scissors into his throat and blood spewing into the air.

"Wha...!" Takane gasped before charging into the room along with the others leaving Ayano at the door.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT?!" Takane yelled and gripped the scissors, trying to pull the scissors out.

"Shintaro! What's wrong?!" Haruka yelled as he held Shintaro from behind so it would be easier to pull the scissors out.

Takane kept pulling but Shintaro's grip on the scissors was really tight.

"SHINTARO LET GO OF THE SCISSORS!" Takane yelled as tears started flowing down her cheeks.

Shintaro's mind, sight, and hearing was starting to blur here and there, with everyone in that room shouting unclear words or his name at him to the blurry faces of everyone's crying faces.

Everyone stopped when they heard a raspy sigh and looked at Shintaro.

"You... guys... are-so... annoy... ing..."

"Mas... ter...?" Takane widened her eyes as she looked up and saw Shintaro looking down at her.

Haruka's and Takane's hands released a bit when she saw Shintaro sticking his tongue at her and he slowly slipped through and fell limp onto the floor.

Everyone was thrown into hysteria.

Ayano watched everyone from the doorway and could feel her legs shake and go weak. She fell down onto her knees and gripped her skirt tightly yet shakily.

I... I failed again...! tears dripped down her chin and onto her skirt.

I'm sorry... I can't be everyone's hero...!
