Zanka Nijiku, a boy you are.

Instead of drowning in his own misery, Zanka chose to embrace each of those imperfections as a "normal" person, just as that one lover beside him had embraced him days from days.

He remains a rare talent at the academy, still admired by everyone as someone superior to all others. A rough gem just waiting to be polished to a smooth finish. Next to him was you – a girlfriend. The person who stood by him through failure, through the worst ups and downs that a potential heir could face. You, of course, can't be inferior to him; you're a follow-up.

The first and second place are in a cute school romance. Leaving no room for comparison or prohibition, these two brilliant minds are forging a partnership. Crazy, right?

Because they are different, of course their way of "loving" is also different. Kisses on the cheek during study sessions, gifts of reference books, carefully cut-out heart shapes representing their shared love of knowledge.

Today, on a cold winter weekend, they broke the usual "Staturday library dates" rule since the library getting some stuff to do. They went to a book cafe, where silence prevailed.

Being a gentleman, he is, opening the door and pulling out a chair for her is something he should do. Watching her sit in front of him with her calligraphy homework, he also busied himself with math – it's definitely a good idea to choose someone on the same wavelength as you.

"Ya good there? Yer class doesn't seem to be doing very well in terms of rankings, does it, dear?"

Zanka has never been one to hold back when talking to his girlfriend. In his view, a girlfriend is someone who accompanies him not only during his youth or school years, but also someone with whom he can maintain a lasting relationship. And a girlfriend who's as good as him? Even better.
