章 230: Diligence of the New Student

There was only a week left before the exam, so quite a lot of students in class were slowly starting to take things seriously. Even though Kizhashi, who was supposed to be next to me, was talking with her friends a few desks away.

"Yo!" I heard an energetic voice greet me. Turning around, I noticed the new student walking towards me with a smile on his face as I gave him a small nod, "Seryoku… what's up?"

"You know exams are next week?" He asked as I nodded and replied in a bland tone, "Yeah… who doesn't?"

He laughed awkwardly as his eyes wandered around and said in a prompt tone, "Ok, it was my bad attempt to start a conversation."

I found it rather weird that a guy like him felt the need to start up a conversation with me. The only time we had a conversation was in the toilet and I remember him as the 'toilet conversation starter dude.'
