7th bullet - coming of exams

7th bullet – coming of exams

About a week after the revenge and the vodka night, DX hasn’t called for either reiko nor natsume yet. Quite relieved to be relieved from the job for a while, natsume was enjoying himself. But reiko on the other hand was irritated as if natsume had no mission she couldn’t invigilate. The exams were coming soon and then it would be summer and so she started planning for the club trip…
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
During the next club meeting, reiko announced through the mic, “WE’LL BE GOING TO MOUNT SAYA FOR A ARCHERY TRIP”
With a mighty groan from the whole club, she adds, “AND OF COURSE FULLY EQUIPED WITH HOT SPRINGS”
This was met by a mighty cheer! Natsume laughed at this change of reaction and also thought that reiko could be quite playful when she wanted.
“THE EXAMS ARE COMING SO YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SKIP CLUB TO STUDY OR COME TO CLUB BUT STUDY INSTEAD OF SHOOT TARGETS AND TRAIN STAMINA. I WISH ALL OF YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR EXAMS”
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH” was chorused by the whole club including natsume this time who didn’t groan about the archery x=.
Suddenly, a comment was said by the girl beside natsume, “aint that cool? The mountain has the same name as me!”
“haha! Hello saya! Nice to meet you ^^”
“natsume! I didn’t know…” saya turns her head to face the floor and blushes mightily x=
“but now I know your name so all ends well, don’t you agree?”
“well…” saya turns to face natsume with a blushing smile, “yes!”
Reiko spots this from the announcement stand and suddenly commands, “NOW BACK TO PRACTISING!”
It came on so suddenly that almost all the club members who were chatting about the upcoming trip and exams got a shock and hurriedly rushed back to their training positions…
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Reiko went to natsume and told him, “you’re skills are great so you can go correct their mistakes instead of practise. Teaching gains you a lot more knowledge than just doing it anyway.”
“cool. Ill walk about”
“let me warn you, I take in ANYBODY” reiko emphasizes while natsume looks at her blankly and shrugs. Soon enough, he understands why she emphasized the word anybody… because the first time he came he had earmuffs on, he didn’t hear the screams of the girls or the barbaric shouts from some guys and even squeals from some other guys. Feeling very insulted by the boys standards, he decided to help boys first. He looked at them and realised that he couldn’t see anything wrong with what they were doing! Except for missing their targets of course. Shocked at this discovery, he went to a station and tried to imagine he was holding a gun and shooting targets. Then he slowly found out the differences between what he was doing and what the other boys were doing. Going to each of them and telling them what to do, all of them replied, “reiko said the same thing but we just cant get it!” so natsume decided, to show them and help them physically first. Even when he did this, most of them also said the same thing. That reiko already did this. So natsume was feeling quite useless and decided to practise his skills in order to find out how to do what was right and how to change what was wrong. Finally, after a few hours, he managed to understand more and more about his grip on the weapon, how to aim, when to shoot, and all the stuff that used to come to him naturally. Reiko who was correcting the girls, inwardly smiled at his fast progress. Leaving him to think on tactics to teach by himself, he would be aware of what he had been doing since young. In other words, he was a genius who didn’t know what he was doing but he knows how to do it. This cancels the word genius and replaces it with stuuuuupid ignorant fool. That was what reiko thought anyway. In truth, it was due to lukes training…which allowed natsume to do all he must do without understanding at all. Luke’s full proof training method for idiots who couldn’t understand things was taught to a genius. X=
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day during class, the homeroom teacher announced the dates and times of the exams. Of course most students would moan and groan about it but reiko feels no emotion towards exams. This is unlike natsume who vibrates as he reads the exam time table. Noticing this, reiko teases him, “somebody isn’t prepared?”
“prepared? I haven’t studied ever since I stepped into this school…”
Reiko almost smiles but of course stops herself as usual.
+++++++++++++++
During club time, natsume finally managed to show the boys THE LIGHT! And the boys started shooting better slowly, but steadily ^^
Reiko almost smiles at this again until she sees Saya walk up to natsume commenting that he was doing a great job. The boys even agreed with her and made reiko even more pissed. As if this wasn’t enough, natsume ruffles saya’s hair and thanks her although he still turns down her praises. To finish it off, saya expressed both blush and smile while natsume ruffles her bob. Not wanting to see this in a mulberry bush, reiko takes out her anger on sena just remembering that he had pressed the wrong button when she wanted to test natsume’s skills that day. Sena who had totally forgotten about it, bowed his head as he listened and disposed of the insults and curses from reiko almost immediately.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Natsume sits down infront of his floor desk and opens up his textbooks once he enters his room but nothing he reads enters his head. He stares out of the window just above his head and stared at the clouds when suddenly a drop of water fell on his cheek. It was impossible for the school hostel to leak of students would know and it wasn’t raining either but another drop of water fell. After pondering for about 2 minutes, he realised that he was crying. Laughing at his stupidity, he starts to make notes mindlessly.
