15 Tension before the Tes (2/2)

She shoved her last exams result to Kanae. Most of them were below 60, the passing grade.

Kanae stared at the paper blankly. Do you prepare for the exams or not? This result was far from satisfying.

”If you don't study, you might not pass.”

Even Alice felt her eyes hurt when she saw that red mark. From the seven lessons tests she showed to them, only three of them were above the passing grade. If that was the score Misae got for the midterm, she would have to stay in the special classroom for the lesson.

Misae smiled sheepishly. ”I'm not too good at studying. Let me see yours.”

She scanned through Kanae's test paper and wondered how this girl could get such high score. Even the lowest she found was already 88…

”You have to teach me tomorrow.”

”I have work for all day,” Kanae yawned. ”I don't have time to teach you except if you want to walk into my workplace again.”

Misae was not that thick faced yet to barge into the workplace twice. Not to mention she was being a bother there, she might not be able to concentrate as much as before. After all, it was simply ridiculous to continue bothering Kanae for her study.

”Why are you still working even when it's already near midterm?” Alice frowned.

”I need to work,” Kanae answered simply.

Misae sighed. ”You can just work for me, being my tutor.”

”No thank you.”

The three bantered around before they departed and Kanae went to her workplace. The Old Man wanted her to study, but she insisted on coming here. Even the next day, she came to the store and the Old Man berated her again.

”You have midterm exam. Focus on them. Next week you don't have to come here.”

Kanae scratched her head. She didn't really need to study because she still remembered most of them. However, she did need more sleep for the exam because it would be a disaster if she fell asleep during the class.

”Okay,” she said reluctantly.

The Old Man patted her head. ”Don't force yourself too hard. Even though you need to work, you're still young, so you have to focus on your study first.”

Kanae nodded her head. There was no word too young to work for her. She had to work if she wanted to live and in this city; it was hard to find a good job that didn't require danger. She enjoyed working here very much.

”I'll return here right after the last exam is finished.”

”Alright little lass.”
