135 They will be Preparing for the Final Exams (2/2)

”W-what?!” Noah and Zaksus exclaimed at the same time.

”You guys didn't know that?” Loyd said as she looked over at them with a look of astonishment.

”Nobody told me about that!” Zaksus exclaimed.

”Yeah!” Noah quickly added. ”What the hell! I didn't know that!”

Both of them appeared quite flustered, demonstrating their lack of confidence in their academics. Zaksus I could understand, but I was rather surprised to see Noah being in panic mode. He's an angel, isn't he? Shouldn't he be able to use his divine powers to easily breeze through the exams? If he cannot, then that means that his powers must be heavily restricted. He did mention he was an interning one before so...

”Y-you guys need to help us!” Zaksus cried as he clung onto Loyd's shoulders with both hands, shaking him in such a frenzy that even I felt sort of dizzy just looking at it.

”I don't want to retake the exams on my own time...” Noah covered the left side of his face with his left hand as he sat with his back slouched and in great depression. His voice was soft and almost trembling, and I was certain that his mind was indeed in a state of panic judging by how depressed and flustered he was. ”Muria,” he said, looking over at the girl with a desperate expression. ”You're pretty smart, right? You're at the top of the class, so can you help me study?”

”You should've been listening in class instead of trying to talk to girls,” Muria sighed.

”Irina?” Noah then turned towards her with teary eyes in order to seek for her aid. He knows that Irina has a soft and kind heart, so he must want to take advantage of that. Hmm... phrasing it like that sounds kinda weird, but... it's just that he knows that Irina will be able to help him.

”H-how bout we have a study session,” Irina suggested with a nervous smile on her face. ”We can all gather at someone's house and we can study for the finals together.”

”That's a great idea!” Noah and Zaksus excitedly nodded their head in agreement.

”It's still not that late you know,” I sighed. ”You still have about a month to prepare.”

”Alevian,” Noah said as him and Zaksus both looked over at me. On their faces were a bland expression that almost appeared to be quite disdainful as they looked over at me. ”Do you really think that we could study on our own?”

”Well...” Noah's statement was extremely effective as it pointed out the flaw in my logic. A month is plenty of time for normal people. The thing is though, these two aren't normal people. One of them is an angel who enjoys to go wild and can't use his divine powers, and the other person is an athletic freak who devotes the majority of his time to practicing basketball whenever he doesn't come by the club. Therefore, I guess these two won't be able to do study alone effectively.

”It's a good idea,” Loyd smiled and agreed to Irina's suggestion. ”I think studying together in a group can really help not only them but us as well. Besides, when we're all together, it won't be as daunting as when we're alone. Anyone have any objections?”

I looked around at everyone and saw that no one appeared visibly disproving of the suggestion. In addition, no one spoke up to deny it as well. Therefore, I believe everyone agreed in their mind that it will be something that's viable. Besides, it won't be something that's mandatory. People can choose to come if they want to.

”So where should we have it?” Loyd asked.

”I know!” Noah raised his hand. ”At Muria's house. Her sister's the literature teacher and everything so we'll be able to ask questions.”

”Don't you find yourself quite rude just inviting yourself like that?” Muria sighed and shook her head as she spoke in a cold and annoyed voice.

”Most girls wouldn't like it if a bunch of guys go into her room as well,” Irina explained. Then, she looked over at me.

What're you looking at me for? Stop looking at me with those watery blue eyes. Stop!

I soon realized that Loyd was also glancing over in my direction. He appeared to have noticed Irina staring at me, which I gotta give him credit for being able to observe people to this level and catch that detail. With a sigh, I finally gave in.

”W-we could have it at my house,” I finally spoke up after suffering from a brief moment of torture.

”That's great!” Irina exclaimed. ”It's still close enough to Muria's place that if there's any questions, we can still ask Mura. Besides, isn't Loriana a professor as well?”

”A-a professor?” Zaksus blushed after hearing about Loriana's occupation. ”W-what university?”

”Palisia Imperial...” I sighed and muttered the name of the university that Loriana works at which coincidentally is the university that my high school is affiliated with.

”Then I must make it to college then!” Zaksus exclaimed silently.

”Aren't you thinking of going pro after school's over?” Loyd reminded him. ”Didn't you say you've been scouted already by the pro-league teams?”

”Oh right...” Zaksus's excitement was dampened by Loyd's comments, causing his back to slouch and his head to droop low.

”If you guys are doing a study session,” Luna started speaking. ”May I come as well? I can help teach you anything you're confused on.”

”It'll be great having a third year student there to help us out,” Loyd smiled. ”And besides, Luna, you could come even without asking.” Then, Loyd looked around at everyone. ”It's decided then. We'll have study sessions until finals week. As for the location, we can change it up if needed.”

In my mind, there was a sense of annoyance and irritation. However, it wasn't as severe as I had originally envisioned it to be.
