"I wouldn't put Issei together with Matsuda and Motohada about perversions," I admitted with a sigh.

"Issei joined Kuoh Academy with the idea that he could end up making friends with people, but his first attempt turned out to be a failure when he messed up a conversation with some girls."

"But he is always peeping!" The girl commented heatedly with a huff. "He is still doing something incredibly wrong."

"I think he isn't doing for the sake of being a bad person, but rather to be accepted in a role within the school,"

I shot back with a sigh. "He preferred to be something, albeit something looked badly at, instead of a true nobody. A clown instead of a shadow."

She scowled. "And why wouldn't he just mind the silence?"

"Because not everyone can live with just the silence," I replied tiredly, making her blink in surprise at the quick response.

"You may find it pleasant for so long, but then it gets incredibly uncomfortable at the idea that there might be a hope for them to find sound and noises that are actually lovely to listen to.

The chaos that one define as family, friends and other individuals that make life easier to accept as something filled with good and bad things."

Koneko didn't press on that, her eyes falling to stare back to her papers as she slowly began doing some of the calculus.

But I wasn't done yet.

"You shouldn't give up just yet."

She lifted her stare up from the table while keeping her head resting on the furniture as she gave a bored blink back at me, causing me to sigh tiredly at the display of unwillingness to continue.

"About what?" Her inquiry found a smile in my face.

"Stuff in general," I answered with a nod, but I turned to glance at the paper.

"You know, you are actually doing better than I did back when I was your age," I hummed with a truthful voice, looking up in remembrance of… something from my former life.

"I was quite the terrible student at Math too. In fact, I had a grave of 0s that almost killed my first year at High School and…"

Man, it's been a while since I thought about home. I wonder how are the others are doing.

It's been so long since I had thought about my old life.

About the simpler times, about the disappointing moments, but also about the little and brief instances of victory that I experienced to the very end.

I wonder how it did all happen. I wonder if I had died or maybe got teleported here-

"And?"

I blinked down, noticing the fascinated tone in the young girl's voice at the topic I've brought up.

Was I getting her attention even now?

Could it be that I was just being a little too paranoid over Rias' activities for any odd situations.

"And I just ended up putting myself into it with some support," I finished the sentence with a quiet tone.

"I realized that a helpful hand can take you so far, but most of the effort needs to come from within yourself."

"But isn't it still boring?" She said with some irritation, her voice a little whiny but restrained enough to not sound too childish.

Still, it was quite surprising to hear her speak this much genuinely about her own problems, but I was quick to rule it out as a mere school-related frustration release and more as something far bigger than it looked like.

"It is. I don't think I mentioned 'liking the subject'," I said with a small smile on my face. "Mind you,

I still hate Math with a passion even now and I will be the happiest once I end school so that I can get away from those evil numbers..."

There was a brief snort which caught my attention almost immediately, Koneko's hand shot up to her mouth, but I could see her cheeks flaring red in embarrassment at the agreeing noise at my plight.

"As I was saying," I continued with a small twitchy smile in my face, basking in that sight a little more.

"Math is not going to get easy, nor you are ever going to like it.

You just need to put yourself on the line and deal with it swiftly and efficiently before getting to deal it in some late stage of the year, when it will get quite insane to face even with all the help affordable."

The Nekoshou-in-disguise nodded at this advice, her golden eyes taking in some determined glint while she resumed with her attempts and, much to my glee,

I did notice some sudden improvements from her efforts in the next completed sheet.

I noticed that there were still some minor errors in the paper as I looked at the mistakes she made along her calculations, but it wasn't as big of an issue as it had been previously.

She now gave a positive nod at the reduction of red-colored corrections, the change in pace urging her to try more and more with these attempts.

It was after another full hour that I remembered a confusing detail of her current disposition for the calculus.

My eyes soon were frowning at the lack of a certain device while she finished another multiplication done in a paper on the side.

"Koneko, why are you not using a calculator?" I found myself asking quietly, confused by the fact she was doing calculations by hand.

Koneko paused, blinking twice before nodding.

"Sensei said that for this year calculators weren't to be used during tests," She politely replied, glancing back at me with a confused sight. "Why do you ask, senpai?"

"Well, what your teacher is doing isn't condoned by the rules,"

I pointed out, my tone once again showing some surprise but it was mixed with some annoyance at the fact a sensei might have tried to do this with his class.

"Student DO need to have calculators this early in their experience at high school. The exercises are already difficult with those, to think that you did without one..." I finished with a sigh.
