Re finally left Alpha, trusting on Alpha and said, "Then I will be waiting for it, or I will give you the treat, I just want a treat and great lunch with someone, that's it. You don't need to worry, I was just kidding." And Re smiled and started walking to her seat and Alpha and Rem were speechless...Re is actually good at acting then. It was impressive, actually and they both just smiled and Alpha was finally free and she started walking towards Zero, took her seat and Alpha and Zero looked at each other and Alpha smiled and said, "So you are going to top this time, don't you think?"
Zero was surprised and Rem started sweating, she realised something by that about which she didn't want to talk about right now so she remain silent and Zero looked up at the ceilings and said, "Let's see..."
The classes began and ended, Rem had already left and everyone was just chilling, some were at the classroom and some at the ground and Alpha and Zero were at the classroom and just keeping their heads down, feeling a little bit tired but just hoped that everything would end by today and will take enough sleep once everything is done. Meanwhile Re was wandering around, looking for someone and she came back to the classroom searching someone and mumbled, "...Where is Acid...?"
And Alpha started sweating, she raised her head and Zero also raised his head and looked at Re. Alpha was a little bit surprised and kept her chin on her hands and said, "I never saw her with Big brother Acid...or maybe it was at the shop where you used to work, Zero?" And Zero nodded his head and Alpha remembered. "But they both didn't look together nowadays. I almost forgot by that."
Zero kept his head down again and said, "It is his friends...I think he actually dies to stay with them, and act like them. They aren't searching for him, but she is searching for him and maybe he would be missing her."
"Looks like they just talk by looking at their faces, that's enough for them to be relieved and think that they are not alone. Looks sweet." Alpha said and Zero thought, but he didn't reply anything about it and remain silent and kept his head down with the closed eyes.
Thirty minutes passed and it was finally the ceremony at the Hall time, Alpha and Zero were playing Rock Paper Scissors and Re was just watching them and smiling with a sweat. Alpha looked at Re and Alpha moved her hand and Re's hand moved on its own and it Rock of Alpha and Paper of Re...and Re started sweating, somehow she even joined the game but there was nothing bad and it would just kill some time which they want so she also just started playing. And Zero looked around and the Lords were watching them, and they smiled with a sweat.
"... Innocent Zero..." They all said and took off their eyes and started walking away and Zero didn't understand but just ignored it and looked in front...and there was Aize, staring him and Zero didn't understand him either, innocent Zero, he is unaware of everything. Aize stared Zero for one more minute and Zero looked back at him with a normal face and Aize himself was frustrated for no reason and he finally looked away.
Five more minutes passed and Zero was looking at the stage and finally the Lords came and everyone became silent and Rehi came on the stage and said, "So, I think I am late but anyways. We will quickly honour everyone who have passed the test. And there's also one person who is the only one who failed...and to be honest, have some tomatoes or anything, because you all will have the right to punish him, anyways... let's start it."
And everyone had became curious and excited as their evilness appeared, they wanted to taunt and punish at worst to the failed one because they wanted some fun. While Zero still didn't care and Alpha and Re were still playing.
One by one Rehi started calling them and were awarded by him and soon Re's turn also came and finally they came to their senses and Re walked quickly to the stage and took the certificate and walked away. Now they stopped playing because Alpha had also realised that her chance would also come.
One by one, everyone came and at the end, just two were left, Zero and Alpha, and Alpha was worried a little bit of she would be the one who failed but she also believed in Zero and Zero was just looking at the stage.
Rehi took the last second name and said, "And now...we have the topper, the one who had scored the perfect 100...and it is...Alpha who has scored 100 out of 100!!!"
And everyone was left shocked...even Alpha was, everyone looked at her but she looked at Zero, she was shocked, "...You know biology?" She knew that Zero won't make her fail and Zero also now knows that who is the one who failed and he was laughing from inside but he just smiled and said, "I did nothing, it's all your efforts, Alpha."
Alpha was stunned for a second...but suddenly she laughed and she started walking to the stage and passed by Zero by patting her hand on his shoulder and said, "Thanks for this, Zero...I wish I can help you one day like this only..." But she started sweating, because she remembered that that day would never come because Zero is made all on his own, never even asked for a single help ever. But Alpha just kept everything aside and she walked to the stage and took the certificate of being a topper once again.
But on the stage, Rem and the Lords were giggling and hiding their laughter. Although Alpha didn't understand it but she just walked back.
Rehi took the name and he became serious and said, "And now, the last...he has failed by scoring 1/100...and it is... Sacreficer."
And all the spotlights fell on Zero, Alpha was left shocked but Zero was still calm, just smiling with a sweat while the Lords and Rem couldn't control anymore and hit their heads to the wall and laughed loudly.
