[And he expects it to be true. His own practice exams were showing a lot of promise, with him scoring highest in every one he had taken. With the ease he had achieved that much, he would be disappointed if his test scores came out anything less than perfect. Because he considered it as much fact as Mikami did, instead of confidence, it was taken as research. So, Mikami had done his research. Admittedly, everyone talked openly about their shining student, so it might not have been terribly hard.

Still, what else does he know? Instead of asking, he hides the question with a chuckle.]

Those tests don't hold much bearing when it comes to Universities. [Meaning he had aced all other tests he had taken.] The tests for To-Oh don't happen until later. I'm still in my final year of high school, after all.

[Ah, he would also have to hurry. He didn't have a lot of time between classes and cram school. Already his mom was probably wondering what was holding him up.] With To-Oh being the best school, I'll try to convince my parents that I want to take additional steps by hiring a tutor. If that fails, I'll claim to employee you from my own savings, so we'll have an excuse to meet. For now, I have to go; cram classes start soon, and I haven't even been home yet.
