"Get at it!" Ironman yelled, causing Saoru to jump. She focused on the paper in front of her. This first one looks easy.. square root of 327.. that must be.. close to 18. Next one. Name a landform. Canyon. What continent is Japan on? Japan is an island, but is considered a member of the Asian continent. Saoru's thoughts were interrupted by a light poke. "Hey, you.. do you know the answer to 7?" a voice asked.

Saoru twitched, irritated. "For one, random voice, this is a PLACEMENT EXAM. And two, you'd have to be stupid if you don't know the answer to 120 times 6." she fumed.

"Just asking, don't have to get butthurt about it." the voice mumbled. That was Saoru's last straw. She turned in her seat to see a slacker with red hair. "Alright, mister. You-"

"Matsukata!" Ironman yelled. "My office! Now!"

"B-but.. you said that we can't leave the room or else we forfeit our scores!" Saoru exclaimed.

"Too bad, sweetheart!" He said in a mocking tone.

Saoru sighed, clenching her fists as she gathered her stuff, and walked out of the room in a huff. Himeji waved. Slacker just chuckled. Akihisa flicked the back of his head. "Hey, Yuuji. Yuuji hey." he whispered forcefully. "What, Akihisa." Yuuji grumbled.

"Do you think we could win our way back to class A this year?"

"Doubtful. Matsukata sounded like she had potential." Yuuji said coolly, laying back in his chair with his feet on his desk. His arms were crossed, and eyes were closed.

Saoru placed angrily outside the office. "I hate this school!" she grumbled, sitting down in a fit.

Saoru sat in the uncomfortable chair and hideous green chair. She listened with a slight pout at her father who was talking to Ironman.

"Saoru here was cheating on her Placement Exam."

Saoru opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it when Ironman shot her a death glare from over her father's shoulder. The auburn-haired teen fumed quietly.

"I know for a fact that Saoru did not cheat. Matsukata's don't cheat."

"Well then, let's hear Saoru's side of the story."

Saoru perked up at the sound of her name. She straightened almost instantaneously, and took a breath in. "Well, Father, I was sitting in the classroom, and people kept distracting me. First Pink-Hair asking for a pencil, then Ninja Perv, and then Slacker who asked me the answer for number 7. I mean, what kind of idiot doesn't know the answer to 120 times 7?" Saoru exclaimed, her cheeks tinted pink from both embarrassment and anger.

Her American father looked to Ironman with a smug look.

"Well, either way, Ms. Matsukata, since you left the roo-"

"You forcefully took me out of the room, you yourself said that, 'If we leave the room what-so-ever we forfeit the test'!" Saoru exclaimed, standing up with clenched fists and a brightened face.

"Dammit Matsukata, let me finish! Since you left the room, I am required to put you into Class F. But looking at your test, you got every. Single. Question. Right on that exam.. which would have brought you to class A, the highest class."

Saoru sat back down, stunned at his words. "Y-yes.. Mr. Ironman.." she said quietly.

Her father stood and shook Ironman's hand. "Thank you for your time, Mr. Matsukata. I look forward to teaching your daughter here at Funizuki Academy." Ironman said with a genuinely fake smile.

Saoru stood and walked out of the room. She inhaled sharply and looked at her dad with a half-lidded glare.

She waved him off with a simple, 'See you at home,'.

Ironman walked out of his office. "Report to room F1."

Saoru stood in the hallway while Ironman walked off.

"...scheisse.."
