School exams

Here's the English translation of Chapter 2, maintaining the expressive style:

"A case?" said Ryuu, who was walking along the roadside and accidentally met his fellow police officer.

"That's right, so you're really needed right now!" said one of the officers there.

With a reluctant heart, Ryuu said he would do it, "Alright, alright."

On the other side, at Grandpa Yolan's residence/boarding house...

"Cough, cough, cough," Grandpa Yolan, who was suffering from a severe cough, lay in bed being cared for by Lindsey.

"Grandpa... don't force yourself to get up!" Lindsey advised her grandfather while holding his body as he was about to fall.

"A-alright Lindsey, but grandfather shouldn't become a burden for Ryuu and his father," said her grandfather while coughing hoarsely, "cough, cough, cough, cough."

"Yes... Lindsey knows that," Lindsey tried to comfort her grandfather.

After being found and invited to stay at the boarding complex owned by Ryuu's father, Mr. Houdoug, Grandpa Yolan tried to repay their kindness by making himself a helper or "servant," although initially Mr. Houdoug and his son refused. Grandpa Yolan insisted on repaying their kindness... Until finally, they agreed.

Meanwhile, Lindsey, who wasn't allowed to join her grandfather's work because she was still too young, was planned by Mr. Houdoug to be enrolled in an Elite High School in Surabaya city.

However, there were several problems regarding this, one of which was the absence of junior high and elementary school diplomas owned by Lindsey.

Lindsey had never been to school before, so she didn't have any diplomas.

This meant Lindsey had to take the junior high national exam first.

Lindsey took the national exam with expenses covered by the Houdoug family, Ryuu's family.

As a result, Lindsey got perfect scores in all subjects.

Making her easily accepted into that Elite High School, called High School Of All Things (Fiction), Surabaya, which was rumored to be the most difficult elite school to enter in Indonesia.

"Lindsey-Chan, aren't you nervous on your first day?" said Ryuu, who was teasing Lindsey.

"For what?" Lindsey said casually.

"Well... you've never been to school before, who knows what class you'll get when you go to school later!" Ryuu said somewhat irritably.

"I plan to enter class B or C," said Lindsey.

"Plan?" said Ryuu, confused.

"Welcome to the new student admission for the 2024-2025 academic year," said the principal through the microphone/operator room.

"Before your class levels are determined, we will explain the class levels at High School Of All Things," said the Principal from the operator room.

"Level A is the level for elite students who are considered the smartest among the smartest.

Level B is the level for elite students who are considered smart in a particular field of expertise.

Level C is the level for elite students who are considered capable.

Level D is the level for students who are not too smart but capable in several non-specific areas.

Level E is the level for students with scores below the elite school standard average.

Level F is the level for students who are accepted because of leftovers.

Those are the levels that we will determine for new students!

Before that happens, new students will complete the school entrance exam at the beginning of the academic year. This exam covers all subjects and fundamental things in science," said the principal at the opening.

~After school~

"Lindsey-chan, how was your school? Have you made any friends?" asked Ryuu, who was somewhat worried about Lindsey.

Lindsey said while shaking her head, "No... not yet, it was just an entrance exam to determine the level," Lindsey explained.

"I see... I guess I shouldn't be surprised if you get placed in level A," said Ryuu.

"Not necessarily," Lindsey replied.

Then Lindsey asked, "By the way, the average score in this country is 75, right?" Lindsey asked Ryuu.

"Yes, why?" Ryuu answered.

"Nothing, never mind!" Lindsey answered while turning her face away.
