Never mind that, what about the exam with いいから

ぼっち:

「なこちゃん！」

“Nako-chan!”

なこ:

「なんだ皆(みんな)　待(ま)っててくれたのか」

“Hey everyone. You've been waiting for me?”

アル:

「いいから追試(ついし)は？」

“Never mind that, how'd the make-up exam go?”

Key Points

1. いいから = never mind that

   • Here, Aru dismisses Nako’s surprise about everyone waiting and jumps straight to the exam result.

   • This is a common conversational use of いいから, not the literal meaning “because it’s good.”

2. Abrupt omitted middle: いいから 追試(ついし)は？

   • The fuller idea is something like “そんなことはいいから、追試はどうだった？”

   • Japanese often leaves out the predictable middle when the speaker wants to move the conversation along quickly.

3. 追試(ついし) = “make-up exam”

   • 追試 is an extra exam taken after failing or missing the original one.

4. Topic-marking は with the rest omitted

   • In “追試は？”, は sets up “the make-up exam” as the topic, while the actual question is left unsaid.

   • The natural meaning is “What about the make-up exam?” or “How did the make-up exam go?”
