Every month there was always one quiz (small exam) and one official exam.
A quiz, as the name suggests, no matter how bad the score, wouldn't reduce class points. Simply put, this was an opportunity for them. Before the official exam arrived, they were given time to review lessons, while knowing their own shortcomings based on the quiz results.
Whereas the official exam would directly relate to class points. If the results were bad, class points would be reduced.
This month's quiz results had come out. Compared to last month, the total score of all class members increased by about 60 points. This should be happy news.
However... this month there were 5 additional new people... This felt off.
Everyone seemed to realize something and looked at the Nakano quintuplets with disbelieving gazes. If their guess was correct, the combined total score of those 5 people was only 60 points... Truly a despairing answer.
The Nakano quintuplets felt their faces were very hot with embarrassment. They didn't expect this school would openly expose grades.
Before, as long as they didn't say it, who would know their grades were that bad? Now great, the whole class knew...
The five sisters' faces reddened with embarrassment and didn't dare look up.
Hirata stood up and laughed a little, trying to break the ice to help the quintuplets. He clapped softly so everyone would pay attention. The class's attention shifted to him.
"We're all classmates, so we must help each other. How about we form a study group? To help Nakano-san and the others improve their grades."
Hirata's words made a lot of sense, and everyone seemed to agree. After all, if the quintuplets got bad grades during the official exam, the whole class would be dragged down.
Although Hirata didn't say it, they had to find a way for their grades to improve, at least reach the passing limit.
Suzune stood up, intending to be the first to help. After all, her academic grades were very excellent. Most importantly, the point difference between Class C and Class B was already very close, and they could overtake at any time. To prove herself in front of her brother, Suzune had to rise to Class A.
After Suzune stood up, Wang Mei-yu whose grades were quite good also volunteered to help teach the quintuplets. Hirata was very satisfied with his friends' response.
Meanwhile, Ryunosuke sitting on the side actually wanted to sneer that Hirata had overstepped because he was the real class leader. However, because this concerned the entire class's interests, he remained silent and allowed Hirata's leadership action. After all, as long as major decisions were in his hands, small problems like this weren't important.
Nino looked at Hirata with sparkling eyes.
Handsome, good personality, and most importantly, his blonde hair type was really her taste!
Nino elbowed Ichika beside her.
"Hey, what do you all think of Hirata? I think he's very cool, really my type."
Ichika who was propping her cheek on the desk replied lazily. "That's your taste, not mine. Why ask me?"
"Tch~" Nino folded her arms across her chest and turned her face away. "I was just asking your opinion. I want to pursue Hirata, do you think he's suitable as your brother-in-law?"
Miku responded with a flat face. "That's your business, don't ask us."
Whereas Yotsuba looked unfocused and didn't join in the conversation. She leaned on the desk, her eyes staring straight toward Ryunosuke with a loving gaze that seemed to overflow.
The other sisters had already noticed Yotsuba's oddness, they glanced at each other, not understanding what was happening to her.
Itsuki, as usual, secretly put her hand into the desk drawer, took out a large meat bun, and began eating secretly in the middle of class. She was really hungry. Only an hour and a half since her last meal, but her stomach was already rumbling, telling her she needed intake...
The Class C students decided to hold a study group in the library. Everyone grabbed their bags and went to the school library.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Coincidentally Hiyori was reading a book there. Ryunosuke saw her, raised his hand and waved in greeting.
Hiyori who saw him greeting her also responded with a smile.
Ryunosuke walked over and directly sat near her without caring about the study group. Hiyori then moved her chair very close to him.
Ryunosuke of course understood Hiyori's little intention, but he didn't refuse. The two of them read books quietly beside each other as usual.
Everyone in Class C was stunned seeing that scene.
Yotsuba's gaze was empty, as if losing something very precious.
Airi didn't say anything because she was already officially dating Ryunosuke, she just considered this was done for good relations between the two classes.
Haruka felt uncomfortable. Since she realized her feelings for Ryunosuke back then, she didn't know how to behave.
Meanwhile, Kei looked dissatisfied.
"What's with that person?! Why is he sitting that close to Shiina?"
Chiaki just laughed awkwardly and didn't answer. Kei asked Maya beside her.
"Don't you think the two of them are sitting too close?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Maya had just come to her senses from her daydream and didn't hear what Kei said. Turned out she was also staring toward Ryunosuke while daydreaming.
Since the sports festival back then, when seeing Ryunosuke's posture playing tennis, Maya had already fallen into it. Because Ayanokouji didn't show his true strength in the relay race like in the original story, Maya didn't fall into the whirlpool of love for him. On the contrary, she instead fell into Ryunosuke's charm.
After all, when Ryunosuke played tennis, he was really very handsome!
Really pierced right into Maya's heart~
Chiaki: "😐"
(This is bad...)
(This is all bad...)
She felt both her friends seemed to have really fallen into it.
Chiaki facepalmed, feeling the situation was becoming more and more chaotic...
