Chapter 3: Bitter Failure

Time passed, and with only a month left until the college entrance exams, Benjamin finally began to feel a hint of anxiety. While his classmates were studying day and night, he struggled to focus. His mind was constantly drawn back to video games and anime episodes.

The exam day finally arrived, and Benjamin entered the exam room without a trace of worry. He answered the questions with a false sense of confidence, believing that the cramming he did in the last month would be enough. But when the results were announced, Benjamin was utterly shocked. He had failed.

At first, Benjamin didn't care much. He convinced himself that college wasn't necessary. After all, he could get a part-time job and live with his parents. Why struggle when life could be so easy?
