Mukahi Gakuto in First Grade - Chapter One

Gakuto drooled as he slept in his class. He was certainly not listening to the lesson at all.

"Mukahi-kun, please answer the exercise on the board," his teacher called out.

Since Gakuto was asleep, of course, he wouldn't be able to answer. His head slipped off his palm. "Huh? What? Huh? What happened?!"

The teacher carried a meter stick in her hand and started walking towards him. "Mukahi-kun, how dare you sleep during my class?!"

"It's boring," Gakuto plainly said. The teacher grew furious. She lifted up the meter stick and hit Gakuto's hand with it. "Mukahi-kun," she started. "…you're grades have not improved ever since the start of this semester. When are you ever going to at least study?"

Gakuto shrugged. "I have better things to do."

"That's it! Mukahi-kun, because of your poor grades and bad behavior, I am moving you BACK to the 1st grade to teach you a lesson! And I don't mean 1st grade high school. By that, I mean elementary."

Everyone in class gave him glares. He even heard whisperings.

Gakuto stood up and defended himself. "1st grade?!"

"Yes, Mukahi-kun. By tomorrow, you will not be attending this class anymore," his teacher confirmed. "I'm sorry. But I'm doing this to teach you a lesson. But look on the bright side! You'll be taller than all the other kids!" she teased.

Gakuto groaned. This can't be happening.

Afternoon practice came. As Gakuto entered the courts, he could already see Atobe waiting for him—so with the other regulars. This sure is going to be embarrassing.

"Mukahi, we've heard the news," said Atobe, giving him a death glare. "Because of it, you are also prohibited from joining the tennis team."

"Gakuto, what did you do to get this?" Oshitari said, putting his hand on Gakuto's head.

"Nevermind that," Shishido butted in. "1st grade?!" he laughed. "We wouldn't even notice the height difference!!"

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Gakuto shouted at Shishido's face. "I am so taller than them!! Ha!"

"Whatever," Shishido said, wiping a fake tear.

"Damn you," he cursed under his breath.

Gakuto's house

The school provided him with 1st grade things—books, an ID card and some other important things. Gakuto flipped through the pages of his new math book. "This looks easy. . . I think."

Suddenly, he heard his phone ring. He picked it up immediately without even looking at the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Hahahahahaha!! 1st grade?! WTH?!" shouted the person on the other line.

"Shut up! I'll rip off your mouth once I get to school tomorrow," Gakuto threatened.

Shishido, who was obviously the one on the other line said, "Well, good luck. You might not even see me tomorrow. Since we don't have the same building!"

"The heck?! Just shut up!" With that, Gakuto hang up and threw his phone on his bed. "Fuck that Shishido."
