My Bothersome Life 24 Switching Partners Again

I started to head back to the medieval-like room to pack up my stuff, but Daniel stopped me claiming that my room wouldn't change. So Allan happily packed his stuff and moved to another room, while Alex brought his stuff inside.

I grabbed my light novel and sat down on my straw bed, while my books that were out in the ground burned to ashes. "Don't think I'll be as lenient as Allan was." Alex said with his narrowed eyes.

That didn't mean he had the right to burn my books! I mean Luke would do the same, but I didn't think that Alex would resemble Luke so much!

Fortunately, the light novels I didn't read yet was still inside the box underneath my clothes and my stash of junk food remained inside the box as well.

I ignored Alex, while he was unpacking his stuff. Who told him to burn my books! At this point of time, I was starting to feel a bit sleepy and put the light novel I was holding in my hand inside my vest and laid down on the bed. Just when I was about to fall asleep, Alex was about to hit me with something that resembled a water gun from my previous life. But, before he could do so, I quickly sat up and asked, "What do you want?"

"We need to start studying for the exams. I can't afford to get -100 000 points like you and Allan did. It would be a great humiliation to the Monete family. I was surprised that Allan was able to forgive you after sullying his family name!" Alex replied.

I tried to negotiate with Alex. "Can we start studying one hour later? At this rate I will put myself to sleep even though I want to get a good mark on the exam this time. Plus, I read a book in elementary school that people retain less information when they're in a state where they're about to fall asleep."

"It's ok. I'm sure after some constant encounters with water, you'll be wide awake!" Alex exclaimed.

Alex grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the study room. Another characteristic that was similar to Luke I thought.

Since, I didn't do any reviewing for two weeks and only attended class, my skills were very lacking as Alex kept frowning. Apparently I was in a worse situation than Alex thought I was as he decided to extend the study session. However, I ended up falling asleep half-way through even though I was drenched in constant hits of water.

Since, I fell asleep drenched in the study room while Alex couldn't wake me up no matter what methods he used, I got a really bad cold the next day. However, since I was in a very cruel school, I couldn't defer my exams and had to write it in the next hour or else I would get a zero.

So Alex was busy pouring all his mana into my forehead to try to at least get rid of my dizziness before the exam because most of it was his fault from not letting me take a one hour nap.

However, we soon ran out of time and had no choice but to write the exam. With the combination of my throbbing forehead and Alex's tired body from pouring most of mana inside my body we managed to finish the exam.

The results got posted in the monitor again:

Helena and Allan: 87 000 points

Rika and Alex: - 110 000 points

Michelle and Luke: 110 000 points

Ohh. -110 000 points. A new record! How fascinating!

Alex was beginning to stumble onto the floor from shock while Allan didn't seem surprised as he tried to help Alex stand back up. However, the other four people (including the teacher) had their jaws dropped to the floor again.

This wasn't my fault this time, as I glared at Alex in a threatening way. Feeling worse with each passing minute, I went to the infirmary room with the support of Shelly and Ellen.

In many ways, the infirmary was better than medieval-like room I was currently staying in. So I laid down on the bed while feeling like I was going to throw up. I was given congee by the doctor as she said to rest well during the next couple of days. At this point, the point system didn't apply to me as I was sick in bed unable to move. However Alex was not exempt even though he was my pair.

I learned this in elementary school when I got really sick while Luke was still healthy. So Luke had to work like a workaholic as he had to go out to earn enough points everyday (including my share) until I got better.

But, we were in a better situation than what Alex and I was tangled up in. We had a stable amount of points that we accumulated to help us out, however right now, Alex and I possessed minus points. It wasn't just something like -50 or -100 points, but -110 000 points.

I wondered what we would do from now on. Sigh.
