Oh, and that might sound like a smarmy little braggart teenager thing to anyone else, but Palamedes hears 'I'd have tested higher' and shoots Jun a knowing smirk, like, that's the spirit. That's some age-old smart kid confidence, and he can respect that. He, too, would have tested out of junior high, if he had to go and it was an option.
"A laser," he confirms, and then with the same sort of wow-Viktor-is-so-great enthusiasm, "He built it. If he could build a card catalog generator I'm sure he would, but instead, we're forced to suffer through Never Mind's nonsense."
He's not so bold as to think that he'd test out of school entirely, but he definitely reads at a higher grade than his peers at the very least. But on to other things, which are also exciting. Because really? He's not even sure how you'd make a laser here.
"I don't like things that aren't organized somehow. I work in a bar and some of the liquor gets switched out with stuff that clearly isn't the same but we have no labels for some of them and it drives me a little insane." He's trying. He's trying so hard to organize things. Manabu is also trying very hard. "There's fiction and nonfiction all mixed together... at the very least those two should be separate."
