"Didn't I told you to study?
"What kind of school could you attend with that grade?"
Then I vowed to score good to shut their mouths.
Just like we have to compete for prosperity in the future, anyway.
So you're sure you're getting into that high school?
My grades determine my fate.
Have you ever thought about what to do in that school?
Let's talk about it later.
When I open my learning profiles,
I always find them filled with test papers and notes.
Looking back to my middle school memories,
I suddenly realized that they're all blank.
If I couldn't get into a good school even I keep studying so hard,

Is achieving in tests the only way to embrace a good life?
Should I study for tests or not?
