Intro
A crowd has gathered around the bulletin board where the final exam results hang, the buzz of excited chatter filling the hallway. Everyone's eyes are locked on two names sitting at the very top of the rankings.
1st Place: Light Yagami Tied for 1st Place: Ryuga Hideki
"Light's at the top again, no surprise there." "Wait, hold up—they're tied this time?" Whispers ripple through the crowd as curious gazes drift toward the two students standing before the board.
Light maintains his usual composed expression, studying the posted results with the calm confidence of someone accustomed to seeing his name in first place. Beside him, Ryuga Hideki stands with his hands buried deep in his pockets, staring at the results with an unreadable expression—like he's either completely fascinated or utterly bored.
For just a moment, their eyes meet. It's brief, barely a heartbeat, but the air between them shifts—charged with an unmistakable tension that seems to make the crowded hallway fade into the background.
A tie... I have to admit, you're pretty impressive yourself, Ryuzaki
Should I say "as expected from Police Chief Yagami's son"? Your perfect honor student routine is quite the performance
Though I do wonder... can someone really achieve such flawless results through hard work alone? It's rather... intriguing
Light's eye twitches—just barely perceptible—before he smooths his expression back into that practiced, gentle smile. His voice remains perfectly even when he responds.
I'll take that as a compliment... Thank you, Ryuzaki
Feel free to interpret it however you'd like. L's gaze lingers on Light for another moment before he adds, almost casually But you shouldn't forget—there are certain heights in this world that can't be reached through effort alone
