He understood why Alice was angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Alice wasn't angry. She was simply baffled and embarrassed by a sudden development between her and Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the classes started and ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy tried to approach Alice again during break time, but she ran away with her friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric glanced at Rudy from the corners of his eyes and asked, \"Did you do something to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't come to school together either,\" Eric uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy stayed silent and didn't reply to Eric. However, Rudy wasn't ignoring Eric. Rudy was so lost and focused on his thoughts that he didn't hear Eric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This looks serious…' Eric uttered inwardly. 'Should I talk to Alice about it? She loves Rudy, but Rudy is super dense. Maybe he did something stupid again and made her angry.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't see my two best buds fighting like that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric pondered for a while and decided not to interfere between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's her matter. I probably shouldn't butt in like that. It's for the best if they eventually make up because they suit each other, and I want to go to their wedding one day.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric smiled after imagining that and thought, 'Maybe I should find myself a girlfriend too?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric left the classroom after tapping Rudy's shoulders and said, \"You can think while eating too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy followed Eric to the canteen and ate food while thinking about various plans to make up with Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What if I just confess my feelings to her?' Rudy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy glanced around the canteen to look at the wall that had a clock on it to see the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are still five minutes left before the break ends. I will quickly finish eating and find Alice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING~ DONG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hah?!' Zach looked at the time, and there were still 3 minutes left for the break to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Eric asked. \"Let's go. We have a test in the next period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sighed in disbelief and made his way back to the classroom with Eric. There he saw Alice sitting on her own seat, that was beside Rudy's desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is back?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy was more than happy to see Alice back in her seat. His mood had cheered up, and he had forgotten everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sat on his seat and turned to Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen, I am really really—\" Before Rudy could properly apologize to Alice, she stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not now. We will talk about it after school,\" she said with a smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is smiling. And her face is a little flushed too. Does that mean she is not angry anymore?' Rudy wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lecture started, and the teacher distributed the papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I had no idea there was a test today, but it did happen in my previous world. I just forgot about it. I mean, no one remembers the dates of the test of ten years ago,' Rudy scoffed softly and started writing the answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The test is very hard, so I have taken permission from the principal to combine the next lecture too,\" the teacher asserted. \"I am giving you one hour and twenty minutes to complete the test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male student raised his hand and said, \"Sir, since the test is tough, does that mean the passing marks are also reduced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm…\" The teacher hummed in wonder and nodded, \"Good point, I didn't think of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, the teacher said, \"Alright. I reviewed the paper again and calculated the average score one could get. Out of 80 points, the average score would be around 35. So I am setting the passing marks as 30.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's too much, Sir!\" a female student uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it? 30 is rather low, to be honest,\" the teacher remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reduce it to 25, Sir. Otherwise, most students would fail, and you would be the one to blame,\" another male student commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher raised his brows in curiosity and asked, \"How would that be my fault?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just got this job, Sir. So you might not know that if more than 40% of students in the class fail a subject, the teachers get blamed for poor teaching,\" a female student explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that how it works?\" the teacher muttered with a baffled look on his face. \"If I knew, I should have made an easy test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I am setting the passing marks to be 25!\" the teacher declared in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone tried their hand to solve the answers. Even the toppers were having a hard time since the questions were asked indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the questions were from the textbook, but the teacher had asked them in a different way that left most students confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn't tough for Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher gave them one hour and twenty minutes to finish the test. But Rudy finished it in less than 15 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his test, he stood up from his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's gaze turned to Rudy. But they were bewildered when they saw his answer sheet was filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rudy? What's wrong?\" the teacher asked in a calm voice. \"Do you need something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy walked out of his desk and placed the answer sheet on the teacher's table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am done, Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-06T12:42:09.048Z",1,"novelbin.me","eeafe93dce85829d007568f9a1cddea3b02c74c5823a94ce092a40c28dc83f6f","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-105","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-104",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
