Summary
PK Academy students are having their Final Exams and it's the least that could bother Kusuo as he can easily cheat his way through the test. However, he cheats so he won't get high grades to prevent getting attention. Meanwhile, Riki was on the verge of getting held back so Kusuo and co. started encouraging him but ultimately gave up on him as he said that he has a secret weapon, a pencil. At the start of their next subject examination, Kusuo was still bothered and Shun was planning to exchange his paper to Riki's. Suddenly, Kusuo was surprised as Riki was able to answer correctly. Without hesitation, he looked back at Riki and ignoring his teacher, he found NenDad moving the pencil towards the right answer. With clairvoyance, Kusuo learned how it's Reita's plan to use NenDad but he instead went to help his son though it still made him wonder for a while why NenDad is helping his son even though he doesn't have any memories of when he's alive. The chapter ended with Riki not being held for a year but Shun and Kineshi consoled Kusuo for his exam results as his name written next to Riki.
