It was an invitation from junior Nanase.
The reason was that the final partner pairings still needed one last confirmation.
"I'll go with you too," Hirata said.
Hirata did not suspect anything.
All the students of Class 1-D had undergone an academic assessment.
They had confirmed the academic results of their own students.
It was an act of cooperation.
After all, the alliance between the two classes looked promising, and with some fine-tuning, the odds of everyone passing were high.
However, they were both Class D, so there were quite a few poor students. They needed to reconfirm some students' grades before arranging the partnerships.
After agreeing to cooperate, Housen had also handed all authority over to junior Nanase. For the sake of her class, junior Nanase wanted Hirata and the others to conduct academic tests, preferably more than once. It was her responsibility to her class.
There was nothing to criticize about that.
After all, this time Class 2-D was asking Class 1-D for help.
At the same time, Class 1-D had said they would study properly. They had begun evening self-study sessions the day before yesterday, which reassured everyone in Class 2-D.
Now there were only two days left before the partner pairings, so it was indeed time for a thorough confirmation.
Hirata also had a selfish motive. After learning the exam rules, Ayanokouji had asked him to help find a safe partner.
Ayanokouji's academic ability in class was roughly C+, so he was not in much danger.
Still, if he could partner with a first-year student with better academic ability, it would certainly be safer.
Thus, although he was also one of the class representatives, Hirata had developed a selfish motive because Ayanokouji had pulled him out of his isolation.
With that in mind,
Hirata and Ayanokouji
