Three days went by in a flash and it was Friday. During the last minute of Social Science period every student has their classmate's notebook on their table—checking their homework.

"Revelderio, score?"

A girl raised her hand. "No assignment, sir."

Aeiou's eyes widened. No assignment?!

The teacher, named Kenneth Oraios, glanced at Aeiou. He took the exercise notebook from the other student and looked himself. A tsk came out of his mouth before he called, "Revelderio, please come out for a minute," he said before he leads the way towards the door.

Aeiou stood and trailed behind the teacher.

"Did you forgot to do it, anak?" Son.

Aeiou shook his head and said, "No, sir. Certainly not. I answered it before I slept last night."

I slept at exactly 10:00 pm, I even checked this before I pass it to the front.

Kenneth handed Aeiou his exercise notebook. "Take a look."

Aeiou flipped the notebook to open, only to see that the page where he wrote his homework last night was teared off. His eyes widened, "S-sir, I really did it. Someone must have torn it off."

Kenneth's eyes shot upward. "So are you suggesting I did it?"

"No, sir! I... I really finished this last night."

What evil incantation is at work here?

Seeing Aeiou's surprised expression, the teacher shuddered. He knew about Aeiou's background as a scholar in this class. Thinking that Aeiou must be working hard every night for his allowance and was shy to admit that Kenneth said, "Don't think about it, son. Bring me an essay this lunch, the importance of social science and I'd record that as your assignment for today."

Aeiou wasn't able to answer anymore. He was moved by the kind gesture of the teacher, yet he was still annoyed by another load of homework he had to do. But he had no choice but to accept his teacher's offer or else he won't have any chance to make up for what was lost.

"I'm sorry Sir Kenneth, I will make sure to do my assignment next time."

Kenneth smiled reassuringly. "I'm glad you will. Don't tire yourself out too much. Tell your classmates to go get changed. Your PE teacher will be meeting you today."

After that period, they all went to the closed gymnasium wearing their PE uniform.

They were prohibited to change their clothing inside the school for a reason that Aeiou wasn't aware yet. But Aeiou didn't bother to ask Angeline about it. Thinking about how his homework disappeared, Aeiou's thoughts stayed afloat until he reached the gymnasium. How can his assignment disappear like that?

"I did my assignments then practiced the guitar. I was sure I checked my homework before I passed it to the front. What happened?"

Angeline appeared on his side. "Wow, this PE uniform fits you well." She tapped Aeiou's biceps licentiously. "Does this arm still hurts?" She meant the arm that Aeiou used to block Zed's punch.

"Tsk. It only felt sore for a day. It didn't even got bruised." Aeiou turned his head to Angeline. "I swear, Angeline. I did my homework."

Angeline locked his gaze to Aeiou. "I know... I know. I even copied your answer, remember?"

Upon hearing those words, Aeiou gave Angeline a sharp glare. "Are you looking for trouble?"

Angeline let out a strained laugh. "I mean... to have a hint of an idea —Yes! Idea!"
