026: winning & loosing

HINATA WROTE ON a piece of paper attached to the wall as the whole class listened to koro-sensei excitedly.

It had been 2 days since the exam, mina had given her best. There was no bad trick this time, surprisingly. Sure, the questions were hard, but koro-sensei prepared his class effectively this time. They were confident they'd at least get some first places, If not a lot.
Mina shifted nervously, she had to beat gakushu. The girl looked to her right, only to see an unbothered red-head. So he wasn't nervous.

"Alright, I will read the results out loud!" Koro-sensei announced cheerfully, opening the first brown letter out of five.

"English, firstly: First place, both in Class E in the entire school, is shared. Rio Nakamura and Mina Hayashi!" The class gasped as the brunette's eyes began shining, yes!
Karma only smirked at the girl's reaction as Rio laughed triumphantly.

"See, mina? Our Calls in English did help after all, told ya!~" the blonde smiled mischievously, making her best friend giggle.

"I was worried at first, Rio-san. Because you didn't seem like you really studied a lot- but I knew mina would help out eventually!" Koro-sensei added with a cheeky smile, handing out all the papers in less than a second. "You were good too, nagisa. But you made grammar mistakes every now and then."
Nagisa only smiled sheepishly.

"You two have one tentacle to share, so that's a win for class E!" Koro-sensei exclaimed, signalling Hinata to write that down.

"Okay, Japanese: first place in Class E is kanzaki yukiko!" Koro-sensei yelled, making the class gasp "but first place overall is shared again: Gakushu Asano and mina Hayashi!" The yellow teacher handed out all the papers.

Mina could feel her smile freezing into her face as it began to hurt. She looked right again, seeing only karma winking at her (which made her excitement bigger, weirdly) before kaede shouted in a stud.
"Mina-chan, you have two first places already! I told you." The green haired girl stated, making the brunette smile at her appreciative.

"Yeah, but kanzaki's score is really impressive too!" Mina called out, making the beauty look at her sweetly "You were only two points behind us, that's so cool!"

"Yes, exactly. You bettered yourself massively, that's more than enough!" Koro-sensei looked at the girl.

"Man, asano is too good." Maehara complained, sighing.

"Yep, he was only one point behind Rio and Mina in English, it's scary." Yada added with a smile.

"Anyhow, social studies," koro-sensei continued happily once again "first place in Class E and overall: Isogai yuuma!"
The brown haired boy gasped at that, making mina smile at him.

"That makes two wins and one loose!" Hinata announced as she wrote down once again.

"You beat mina and asano-kun by three whole points! Impressive."

"Alright, guys, Science: first place in Class E is Okuda manami," their teacher made a dramatic pause before turning into a light orange shade with a circle on it "Congratulations! First place overall is okuda manami!"

The class began cheering, making okuda clap her hands together and blush furiously.

"Okuda, great job!" The brunette laughed breathy as she gently held the girl's shoulder "even without our scores in math, your win is already making us out to be the winner!"

"We won the bet too!" Kurahashi yelled, stretching her arms.

As it seemed, and as mina had found out earlier that day, during her making a bet with gakushu, Rio, isogai, maehara and a few others made a bet with her prior classmates, the big five. She wanted to beat asano twice for that.
