I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy

The day of the grade announcement dawned.

After relieving the past week’s stress in our own ways, we gathered in one place before checking our individual grades.

We met in an old classroom in the school building, surrounding a single desk, looking at each other with tense gazes.

Only Ashillya sat in a chair, looking at us with a smiling face.

Since no one had checked their grades yet, we didn’t even know our chance of winning.

Who would be the winner of the bet?

It wasn’t such an important bet that we needed to be overly anxious about it. Still, we couldn’t help feeling tense nonetheless.

“Shall we check now?”

Ashillya was still the only one relaxed here. Seeing her attitude made us feel a bit deflated, but the match wasn’t decided yet.

Although we hadn’t checked yet, it was possible that Ashillya had made a mistake and lost the top spot, or that all the questions I had guessed were luckily correct, and I had taken first place.

It was extremely, extremely unlikely, but the possibility existed nonetheless.

“...Sure.”
