Immediately, they swallowed the lumps that had formed in their throats. The boys soon froze as they looked at Yuuki, who glared at them as she crossed her arms. “Well, you can’t talk about me, either!” Deuce spat. “You’ve got one growing out of your head, too!!” “Deuce, look who’s talking!!” Ace retorted. “Grim, don’t tell me you actually made a contract with him! ” Deuce shouted. “But why is it growing out of your head?!” “It… it looks like an anemone polyp!” Yuuki said as she took a closer look at it. “…What did you guys do?” asked Yuuki with narrowing eyes… but before any of them could answer, something sprouted out of the boys’ heads: some kind of polyp. “Ace… that face of yours,” Deuce pointed out. That’s when Ace and Deuce both froze as they glanced down at Grim. “Because if I don’t make the Top 50,” Grim began, “I’ll be breakin’ my contract, y’know!” “And besides, why are you all so worried about getting into the Top 50, anyway?!” “Seriously, Yuuki?” asked Ace as he leered at her. “I mean, I don’t see my name up… there… oh.” “Jeez, what is with you guys?” Yuuki asked as she came closer to see the board. “THE TOP 30 STUDENTS HAVE ALL GOTTEN 500 POINTS?!!” “Look at the top score list! They’ve got students’ names written with their scores next to them! Uh… let’s see now.” His mouth suddenly gaped open as he saw the names and scores of the students. “I can’t find my name, either!” Deuce bemoaned. “My name’s nowhere in the Top 50, y’know!” “Top 10… Top 20… no, not there…! Top 30? No… 47, 48, 49…? Not there, either!” He whined as comical tears of dread appeared in his eyes. “Uh, let’s see,” Grim said as he searched the list. “I scored over 90, so my name’s gotta be on the list, right?!” asked Ace as he frantically searched for his name. “Did I make it?!” Grim asked as he stood on Ace’s head. This was worse than seeing the lunch line on bakery day, and she barely survived that. It was a good thing she was watching from a safe distance. Among them was Ace, Deuce, and Grim, who were pushing and shoving each other to see the board. Yuuki was standing out in the hallway outside the classroom, watching everyone practically stampede all over each other to see the results that had been posted on the bulletin board. “Ouch! Whoever’s steppin’ on my tail, quit it!!” “Where’s my name?! Did it make it to the top?!”
