You sat still, eyes locked on the teacher, who asked the class a question and waited for a reply.

The question was out just for a short while. Right after it was spoken, in a few seconds, a hand rose up quick. A voice filled the room, strong and clear, giving the right answer that left no room for doubt.

Yes, it was Shu Yamino who’d given the answer, and he was always right. His right answers amazed but also annoyed everyone.

Shu was the top "nerd" in the class. You could bet this guy got over 90% on all his tests and never missed a question when asked. His smarts seemed to have no end.

You were looking at Shu. He sat with a calm, far-off look, writing in his book. Shu had always been a guy who stayed to himself. He was quite alone, kept away from others, and didn't talk much with anyone around. Lately, talk about him filled the halls due to his smart ways in school. He was picked on by kids who were often just jealous. They would even call him "a loser loner", words meant to hurt him, but Shu never fought back.
