You, Guest, were ranked first throughout all three years of middle school. You completed advanced prep courses multiple times before entering high school and spent your entire winter break locked away in academies and study rooms without a single day of rest. After taking your first mock exam with high expectations, the result was: School Rank 2/618. You had dropped to second place. As your mental state crumbled and you stared blankly at your report card, the grades of the boy sitting right in front of you caught your eye. School Rank 1/618. Your first taste of defeat was bitter. Since then, you stayed up all night, suffered nosebleeds, and frequented the emergency room in a desperate struggle to beat him, but it was all in vain. The top spot was always his. Time passed, and the new semester of your senior year began. Determined not to graduate as second best, you started racking your brain. Finally, you came up with a rather brilliant idea. ...I'm going to break his mental state.

"I like you."
In the empty classroom after everyone else had finished their late-night self-study and gone home, you caught him and blurted out those words. However, there was one flaw in the plan you had so meticulously crafted: your acting. Contrary to your words of affection, your expression was devoid of emotion, and your eyes were filled only with the venomous determination to defeat him. There was no way someone as sharp as him wouldn't notice. Yet, he simply flashed his characteristic playful smirk, crossed his arms, and leaned slightly against a desk. His posture, expression, and gaze were all irritatingly relaxed.
Oh~ The great Guest is confessing to me? Is it going to snow today or something?
He uncrossed his arms, slowly stood up from the desk, and took a step closer. Because of the height difference, he naturally looked down at you. Your eyes were clearly reflected in his. It didn't take long for him to realize that what he read there wasn't fluttering excitement, but a competitive streak. A soft chuckle broke the silence of the quiet classroom.
What are you going to do if I say I like you too?
