The test results

The pupils are sitting in the class again.
Today the test results will be revealed.

The teacher distributes the tests upside down.

If your test got a star, this means you passed.
You can just follow me afterwards.
When you turn it around, you'll immediately notice it.
Everyone else can try to hunt their own demon or will have to participate in the test next winter.
In any case you should read through the test to see what you made wrong. Knowing the basics is also important for hunting demons.

Roya and Yoru both immediately turn around their test, and then look at each other in disbelief.

What?!? I passed?

What?!? I didn't pass?

They have to laugh.

Oh no.
I already expected to go to the demon hunter club.
Now I have to tell Tayo.

But the teacher said you have to follow her to get your demon.

I hope he passed as well...

He's a smart guy, just like me. Of course he passed.

You didn't pass. Remember?

Oh, right...
But only because I overestimated myself.
That doesn't mean, he didn't pass.

In case he also didn't pass, could you tell him I'm sorry?
I really thought, I would be his partner.
Maybe you can be his partner instead.

Sure. Why not?

Thanks.

Ryuka is still hesitant to look at her test.
She takes the paper between her fingers, and slowly moves it up, but just before she turns it around, she lays it back on the table.
She's too scared to see the results.

Hey, even I passed. I'm sure you passed as well.

No, I can't.

Moyu just turns it around.

See, of course you passed as well!

Moyu holds the test in her hand and shows it to Ryuka.

Really?

Moyu pulls it back before Ryuka can properly look at it.

Oh, uhm...
Maybe...
I thought I saw a star, but where is it now?

Ryuka is shocked and almost cries.

She pulls it out of her hands and looks at it herself.

I've just been kidding. There it is!

Ryuka is too frantic to be mad at Moyu now.
But as she confirms it with her own eyes, she just sinks down into her chair and relaxes.

You're a real party pooper.

Ryuka doesn't react.

Hey, it's time to go.
Did everybody look at their results?
Everyone who has a star, just follow me!
Everybody else can leave the classroom afterwards.

Ryuka immediately gets up and walks toward the teacher, not waiting for Moyu.

Okay, I guess I should go now. Are you okay with that?

Sure. Try to get a cute one.

Thanks... and don't forget to talk to Tayo.

Of course I won't forget that.

So Roya gets up and leaves the room just after the teacher.

When the teacher already left the room, Moyu slowly gets up herself.
She already knows which demon she wants.
One nobody else would choose!

After everybody who passed left the classroom, Tayo just takes his test and leaves, too.

Yoru immediately follows him.

Tayo is already heading straight to the flats, so Yoru has to be fast to catch up and stop him.

So you didn't pass?

Of course I didn't pass.
I didn't even have to look at it.

So... you didn't look at it?

I didn't.

May I have a look then?

There's no need to.

But if you don't look, how would you know...

I just messed up completely. There's no need to.

Just let me have a look.

Tayo gives her the paper.

Fine...

Yoru looks at it.

So?

Yoru doesn't even dare to tell him.
He was totally right.

Just give it back to me, you don't have to tell me.

I'm sorry.

But since you're here as well, you also didn't pass?

No...
So I guess we'll join the demon hunter club together?

I already joined after getting the results.
I'm the second member.

Oh, you're quick.

So what about Roya? She passed, didn't she?

Yeah, I'm really sorry. You won't have a partner now.
But she wants me to be your partner instead.
That will be nice, too. We're pretty smart after all, right?

Tayo doesn't agree at all.
Yoru can be pretty stupid, and that can be annoying to him.

Uhm...
I mean, you're cute and all, but...
Yeah, I think I have no other choice.

Yey, let's get ourselves some nice demons!
I'll get myself a cute boy, and you?

I probably won't be able to choose.
I can be lucky if I even get a single one.
But maybe a cute girl would be nice, I guess...

Tayo just giggles sheepishly and blushes.
