Monday.
Hoshinomiya Chie held a large pile of test papers and walked into the classroom with brisk steps.
"Ah, before the exam, let me tell you some good news~"
She gently placed the test paper on the podium, clasped her hands together, and a smile that was a little brighter than usual appeared on her face.
"In the summer vacation after this semester, if everything goes well, teacher, I will apply to take everyone to the beach for vacation!"
She paused briefly, letting the information ferment in the silence.
"Imagine it, Luxury Cruise Ship, the blue sea, the sun shining through the palm leaves on your body... blowing the sea breeze on the deck, looking at the endless blue sky and white clouds, don't you feel great just thinking about it?"
There was a commotion in the classroom.
"Wow--!!!"
"Real or fake? Luxury Cruise Ship?"
"Awesome! I haven't been on Cruise Ship yet!"
"Hey, this is too exaggerated!"
"Who said this school is bad? This school is great!"
Hoshinomiya Chie and others calmed down the commotion a little, and then emphasized. "However, any cheating is strictly prohibited in this exam. Did you see the little eyes in the classroom? It is a 360-degree high-definition camera with no blind spots. It will record everything."
"Of course!"
"Teacher, I believe that all of us at Class B are good, honest and hard-working children and would never do that kind of thing, right?"
"Yes!" the whole class answered in unison.
Hoshinomiya Chie looked at the students in the audience with satisfaction, picked up the pile of test papers again, and patted them gently.
"So, for our vacation of sun, sand, waves and Cruise Ship."
She blinked and said in an encouraging tone, "Everyone, please be 100% serious and face this exam! Now, start distributing test papers."
The test papers were quickly distributed, and the sound of the paper being passed was extremely clear, mixed with a little nervous breathing.
When the students of Class B lowered their heads and turned their eyes to the test papers in their hands, a strange sense of familiarity came to their hearts.
The first question looks familiar.
The second question, I just saw it not long ago.
The third question...
Everyone's expressions began to change, from the initial serious concentration to subtle confusion, as they browsed the following questions in disbelief.
Huh?
How come they are almost exactly the same.
No way?!
The further down you look, the stronger the sense of familiarity becomes.
This, this is simply...
Kitagawa That guy... could he...?
Someone suddenly raised his head and cast his eyes eagerly at the two figures in the back row of the classroom.
Kitagawa Kai was seen smiling but not smiling, and Ichinose Honami, who was sitting next to him, felt the many burning gazes on him, and a gentle smile bloomed on his face, as if to say, "Oh, I've been discovered."
Hoshinomiya Chie stood on the podium, looking around at the students with different expressions in the audience with a smile, and reminded, "Students, please keep quiet during the exam and answer the questions carefully~"
Kitagawa Kai After getting the test paper, he glanced at it roughly.
All of them are at the level of "a quick glance". For him, he does not need to rely on any history test papers to answer these questions, nor does he need to think.
By the time he finished the test paper, less than fifteen minutes had passed.
At this moment, the classroom was filled with silence, and most of the students in the class were still immersed in answering questions.
When the final bell rang for the last exam and the invigilator took away the test papers, the Class B classroom instantly returned to the pre-exam bustle.
"It's over, it's over--!"
"How does it feel? I seem to have done everything right."
"Stop thinking about it! Relax first! Your brain is going to explode!"
Cheers, the sound of chairs being dragged, and the sound of school bag zippers mixed into the din of liberation.
Almost unanimously, many people's eyes turned to the positions of Ichinose and Kitagawa Kai.
The students quickly gathered and filled the two seats half full.
"Ichinose, Kitagawa-kun." Shibata Sō squeezed in the front, her face a little red with excitement, and her voice was so loud that it almost broke the roof, "You are so amazing! You are really amazing!"
"Yeah! Those questions! I can't believe it!"
Admirations and exclamations from all over the place came like a tide. They surrounded Ichinose and Kitagawa, their eyes shining brightly.
Faced with this enthusiastic surrounding, Ichinose Honami blushed with embarrassment and tried his best to drown out the noise around him with his gentle voice.
"Everyone is exaggerating! The most important thing for doing well this time is your seriousness and hard work during this period! Kitagawa-kun and I just did what we should do..."
The joys and sorrows between people are not the same.
Class B is in a happy atmosphere at the moment and is already discussing the evening celebration.
At the same time, at the other end of the corridor, at the door of Class 1-D's classroom, the atmosphere was completely different.
"Haha?!!" Yamauchi Haruki exclaimed.
He widened his eyes and looked at Ken Sudō, who was scratching his head and looking irritated in front of him, as if he had heard some fantasy.
"Sudo, you must have memorized the answer to English!"
Ken Sudō was made even more irritated by Yamauchi's loud voice. The anger that was already smoldering because of failing in the exam was rising, but it was more of a embarrassment of being exposed.
His eyes were wandering, and he hesitated and defended. "I want to memorize it too! But last night... I trained too much last night. After I went back and took a shower, my eyelids started to fight. I just glanced at it, and the letters seemed to be mushy."
"Then you're hopeless, ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh~" Kanji Ike sighed, patted Ken Sudō's shoulder, swallowed what he wanted to say, and finally just shook his head.
Ken Sudō was patted so hard that his shoulders sank and his face became even more ugly.
At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly found someone with whom he could share his frustration, and he turned his attention to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who had always had no Presence next to him.
He stepped over in a few steps, and with an anxious heat, he couldn't help but hug Ayanokoji's neck. "Hey, Ayanokoji, honestly, you didn't memorize what Kushida sent."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was stiffened by the sudden physical contact, but his face remained calm:
"The answer? I didn't go out of my way to memorize it."
Hearing this, several boys nearby who also thought they did poorly in the exam also came over.
They all showed complicated expressions ranging from "Sure enough" to "Yes, there's you too."
They looked at Ayanokoji being strangled by Ken Sudō, as if they were watching two people of the same kind, filled with a strange sense of security that "everyone is bad, no one can tell anyone else."
"Look! Let me tell you! Even Ayanokoji is like this! Can it be all our fault?" Ken Sudō seemed to have received some kind of verification, and squeezed his arm hard again.
In this whisper of self-exculpation.
Horikita Suzune, who had been standing quietly a few steps away with his back against the wall, closed his eyes in extreme pain.
The answer is obviously given to you?
Why?
Why is this still happening?
