"Yes, magna is omnipresent."
Toka answered proudly.
"Okay, then why is that so?"
"It's because magna is compatible with everything around it."
"Good, question 2, how harmful is magna to the physical body?"
"It's not at all."
"Good answer, but why is that?"
"It's cause in a cardinal warrior, magna is only meant to be converted to internal magna so that it can fully utilized by the body and if not, then raw magna will just destroy the cardinae and not the body at all."
"Hmmm, good."
'This guy... his smart for a Japanese looking kid."
Yes, it was obvious that Toka was a Japanese, but his accent was that of an American.
And to add on to his shabby look was his body odor that was mix of shit and even more shit.
But he showered at least twice a week back then before meeting shimmer.
Oh, and back to shimmer who was staring hard at Toka who was confidently answering Mr.Terlin's questions.
A few minutes passed by as the quiz continued and soon...
"Huuuuu"
Mr.Terlin sighed as he then sat on his desk with a tired expression on his face.
'This kid... his smart... too smart. Could he have possibly found a way to get the answers while I wasn't looking?'
'No, that's impossible coz I can detect even the slightest shift in motion so how did he do it?'
Mr.Terlin mused in thought but that didn't matter because right now Toka and a new kid were about to get scores that could be gained during the assessment tests meaning that they have used a pretty good shortcut.
This anger Mr.Terlin who once again starred at the confidently smirking Toka.
'Hehe... he might have had this in the bag from the beginning but...'
Mr.Terlin thought as his gaze quickly shifted to the white and shouted.
"Damn boy! You might've passed the previous questions but..."
He shouted as he then caught the white board and flipped it over the other side of the white board.
Toka who once had the greatest smirk on his face's moods had soon shifted to one utter fear as bullets of sweat now dripped from his face.
"W-what the he-?"
Toka couldn't was even given a chance to think before Mr.Terlin shouted.
"Question 8, how does a cardinal warrior refine magna? Question 9, what is the in-great position? And finally, what is magna poisoning?"
"H-huh...?" Toka stated in fear whilst shivering fiercely and sweating so much his desk was wet just from it.
"What's wrong Toka?" Mr.Terlin asked with a grimacing look on his face.
"Are these questions hard?"
'No, they're not. They're easy really easy, I mean except from the very last question you gave me?!!!"
Toka angrily thought as he then turned his gaze to Kian who had an even worse look of devastation on his face.
'Now what am I supposed to do? This guy only ever talked about such things once.'
Toka thought, "S-shit I... I couldn't even get Kian to show me that part before Teach could turn his attention back to me!'
THUD! SPLOOT!
Toka soon fell to his knees wondering how he could even get through with this situation.
"H-hey Toka, what's wrong?" Kian mused while tugging at his sleeve.
"Hey Toka, Toka, do you need me t-"
"Five!"
"HUH?!"
"Oh no."
"Teach is doing his count thing again."
The students murmured as Toka then hurriedly looked up towards the white board as his eyes frantically scanned the questions on it.
"Four!"
'Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, so uhhhh number 8... what was number 8 again? Oh, shit I'm screwed! Ok, let's take one more look at the white board.'
"Three!"
Toka trembled even more violently his sweat now raining from his face as then struggled to find his answers.
"Two!"
"S-shit!"
"O-"
"Uh for number 8 it's through using the in-great position nad accumulative growth method and the in-great position is a common sitting posture with one's legs crossed and their hands clapped together and look to be be as if in prayer, this is used for pure enlightment."
"Good good now what is the answer to the past question?"
Mr.Terlin said with a humble grin on his face as Toka tensed up once more.
He looked down once more but why... this time Teach was very cautious of him.
'Oh shit oh shit oh shit! What the hell is magna poisoning???!'
He thought as the sweat soon began dripping from his face once again.
"Five!"
Not even a minute of chance was given to Toka before he could catch up with his breath and thoughts when Mr.Terlin started his count down once again.
"Three!"
'Huh?! Three?!'
Toka thought as he soon realised that he was cooked from the start.
'Oh no... Toka he looks scared... and what are we gonna do I can't help him when im like this...!' Kian thought in fear and pity.
'Hmph this kid... he was all confident from the moment I faked that crash out of mine?'
Of course it now made sense that he let Toka copy the answers to the final three except for the last questions.
Because... they were all things he taught once and never bothered to help with again.
'Oh well, not everyone...' he thought as he grinned while moving his lips as if he were about you say something.
'Is allowed to have a happy ending.'
"On-"
"It's the dangerous accumulation of magna into one's body parts that can lead to magna fission!"
------
For a moment, there was only silence that filled the air in the classroom as Mr.Terlin intensely gazed at Toka.
'Just... Just how did he know that?' he thought not anger but in the sheer amazement he felt.
"Yes.... yes, that is... that is correct!"
"...."
Silence once again filled the air for a few split seconds before....
RIIING!
RING!
RIIIIING!
The bells that signaled for lunch rang out.
The first to exit was Mr.Terlin who was utterly dumbfounded followed by the other students and Kian.
Toka was left alone he sat on his desk breathing heavily but with an annoyed look on his face.
Step!
Step!
....
Step!
"Hehehe... hi Toka Kyo Mondaiji, I'm Shimmer Zendea it's nice to meet you...," she paused for brief moment before getting up Toka's desk and finishing, "my future husband, hehehehehehehe...!"
Shimmer who had once held a humble character and look to herself was now laughing on utter pride.
'This girl... she's crazy but damn... she's cute.'
