Haru let out a deep sigh, staring at the ceiling of his hospital room. "Rei, when am I getting out of here?"

Rei, casually flipping through his phone, barely spared him a glance. "Doctor said two more weeks."

"Two weeks? Damn, that’s a long time." Haru groaned, running a hand through his hair.

Tomoko, who was seated on the couch with her legs crossed, perked up. "Well, Haru, after two weeks, the school is holding a test to assess everyone's rank."

"Oh, I see." Haru nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be out by then."

Kana, who had been munching on a bag of chips, suddenly sat up. "By the way, what’s your rank, Haru? I’m really curious."

Tomoko smacked Kana on the arm. "Are you out of your mind? We haven’t even taken the test yet. How would he know?"

Kana scratched her head sheepishly. "Oh, right… I forgot. I take it every year, so I thought you guys might too."

Tomoko rolled her eyes. "Rich bastard."
