Academic competition -- in terms your author here prefer calling, nerd sports. This would refer to the rivalry between the students owning top marks in their year level. In contrary to the actual official matches for actual sports, the winners and losers of an academic competition is determined by the results of their quizzes, tests, and final grades. A boring contest it is, in my opinion. I mean, just how is it exciting to watch a pair of teenagers scribbling on some paper that holds a bunch of questions written in Greek that us, mere humans, cannot even comprehend.
How are they even gonna show their passion during their match? By scratching their pen loudly on the paper while reenacting Light Yagami's way of writing from some notebook that literally screams murder from that famous internet meme.
Well, in any case, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Khun Aguero Agnes is head and shoulders above his classmates in academics, reigning with top marks in the whole year level. Honestly, for the past years, the light blue haired male had never experienced rivalry with his intellect -- as long as it remains in his year level. It was quite a bore for him, actually -- not having someone to ignite his passion as a competition.
Knowing how cliché this story is however, it can be as obscure as those neon lights in LA that that the transfer of a certain female named (Y/N) has sparked a fiery competition between the two of them. It's like that certain plot line hasn't been used at least a hundred times in various stories.
"Isn't Mr. Quant going to hand out the results from the other day's math quiz?" Their unsynchronized footsteps creating a rhythmic beat on the tiled hallway floor, Khun brought up the topic whilst heading towards his classroom along with a certain (h/c) haired female. "I didn't even see you glance at the textbook to review. Are you sure about slacking off; I believe they would take away your scholarship if your grades flop."
(Y/N) snorts in response, letting out a ridiculed chuckled as she claimed. "Puh-lease. Mathematics is simply logic. Who needs to study such a basic subject? As long as you know the formula and process, you can just breeze through any test." Smirking smugly as she tilts her head to send taunting glance at the lean male, she added. "How pathetic. Sin-ui's top student actually needs to bury himself in practice worksheets and textbooks to ace such a simple subject."
Hearing the mockery sent towards him, the boy with hair similar to a clear spring day feels the muscle of his thin eyebrows twitching -- feeling his pride hurt for a tad bit from being insulted by this girl. Who would want to be talked shit by someone who doesn't even know how to cross roads?
