You Last Seat - Reikou
The test is over. Mr. Yinglan starts collecting the answer sheets from the students.
"You, last seat Reikou! Quickly bring your answer sheet," Mr. Yinglan shouted from the teacher's desk.
"Ann—okay, sir," Reikou replied, got up, and handed over his sheet.
When he went to submit his answer sheet, his gaze caught Meiyu. Reikou saw that Meiyu was going somewhere outside the class. He quickly started following her—
He kept one pen and paper with himself. He was still observing Meiyu, but this time, he observed and wrote something on paper while borrowing.
Meanwhile—
"Hey! Ryuuto!"
"How was the test?" Shiori asked Ryuuto.
Ryuuto’s head was down, not responding to anything for a while—
"Huh?! Ryuuto, are you sleeping?" Shiori whispered again.
"WAHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHI!"
Ryuuto started crying like a baby.
GASP!!!
"W-what happened?" Shiori asked with a terrified face.
"WHHHH! Why are you asking about my test?!" Ryuuto replied with tears falling from his eyes onto the surface.
"Ahhh! S-sorry then," Shiori apologized.
Meanwhile—
Meiyu was in the library, sitting and checking her phone and magzine. But Reikou was watching her secretly from behind a bookshelf. Again, he noted down something on paper.
"Hmm! It's not good, if father get to know about this video, it's not good""I have get to know that who done this" Meiyu thought while checking her phone, her face clearly showing tension.
Reikou only watched Meiyu and wrote something on paper.
Meanwhile—
"WAHHHHHHH!"
"Okay, okay! Keep quiet!"
"It's okay to have a bad test!" Shiori tried to calm Ryuuto.
"HIC! HIC!"
"Bad test?!"
"You know how my test went?"
"I just wrote the questions!" Ryuuto yelled.
"Wha-?!"
"So, what were you doing for 40 minutes?!" Shiori asked in shock.
"I—I... HIC! HIC!"
"I wrote all the questions five times!"
Ryuuto replied, still crying, his tears and snot dripping.
"Oh my god..."
"You're really a duffer," Shiori said, shaking her head in disappointment.
"But don't worry!"
"This is just the beginning!"
"Just a trial ball!"
Ryuuto suddenly changed his mood. It felt like he had been acting the whole time.
"I was just testing the test paper!""I was testing whether this question paper had the potential to be my question paper!"
Shiori stared at Ryuuto like she was ready to hunt him down.
"And you know what?"
"The questions were too easy. I could have easily topped the test!"
"But the thing is, I don't want the topper tag!"
"So, that's why I only wrote the questions and left the answers blank!"
"So Mr. Yinglan can spend more time with his family!"
Ryuuto explained proudly like a teacher. He crossed his arms and whispered—
"I SAVED BOTH THE TOPPERS AND MR. YINGLAN."
Ryuuto whispered while closing his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he noticed
Meanwhile—
Reikou was still watching Meiyu from the bookshelf, and this time, he wrote one more point on paper.
Meiyu was trying to figure out some clue. But suddenly, she felt that someone was there.
Since the library was so silent, when Reikou wrote something on the paper, a soft noise came like paper rubbing.
"Huh? This noise came for the third time..."
"Is someone here?"
She secretly scanned the library with her eyes. She noticed something ahead, in the bookshelf, between the book gaps. She tried to focus more.
Reikou noticed that Meiyu was looking, so he moved away from there.
But that was the biggest mistake he made.
Because the moment he moved, Meiyu became sure that someone was there!
Meiyu had been watching an object in the bookshelf gap. When it moved, she confirmed that someone was hiding.
"Did she notice me?" Reikou thought to himself.
"Who is this?!" Meiyu thought to herself.
"She 100% noticed," Reikou thought again.
"100% it's Reikou," Meiyu thought.
Tension rose in both of their minds. The atmosphere in the library felt more intense and serious. Both became alert.
"If it's Reikou..."
"Then why is he doing this?"
"How long has he been here?"
Meiyu whispered in her mind and acted like she hadn't noticed anything.
"Did she notice me or not?"
"If she did, then she will definitely come here to check."
"So why is she still sitting?"
Reikou was also confused in his thoughts.
"Wait! I don’t know if it's Reikou or someone else!"
"If I do something weird..."
"He might realize that I noticed him!"
"I need a plan! I already know it's Reikou, but I want confirmation first. Until then, I have to act like I didn’t notice anything."
Meiyu started thinking strategically, behaving as if she hadn't seen anything.
"No, wait!"
"I can guarantee that she noticed me."
"Maybe she's acting like this so I won't realize that she knows?"
"I need a plan to escape from here!""I can’t afford to make any mistakes or weird movements!"
Reikou was also deep in thought.
One wanted to catch.
One wanted to escape.
Both were thinking strategically.
