Chapter 84
Because.
If this school judges students by written test scores like other schools do, then it shouldn't have admitted so many students from Class C or Class D in the first place.
Because failing an exam will result in expulsion.
So, doesn't that mean a large number of students will be eliminated from the start?
So why recruit them specifically?
So what else is there to it?
Therefore, he believes there is some way to pass the level.
"So," Hachiman looked at the adorable Kushida. "Kushida, is there something I can ask you?"
"Hehe?" Kushida the little angel, blinked cutely.
"I hope you'll reach out to the upperclassmen," Hachiman said. "See how they handle exams."
"Eh..."
Kushida drawled out his words.
Although she has a wide social circle, she's currently working hard to solidify her friendships with other first-year students. She hasn't yet had a chance to network with the upperclassmen—
After all, it's easy to see that older students, after a year of getting to know each other, have already formed relatively independent small groups. And since they won't be divided into classes, it's extremely difficult to infiltrate them.
So it hasn't been able to penetrate yet.
And now, Hachiman has actually given her such an important task?
"Although Hirata gained the number of upperclassmen students through his own sacrifice."
"But judging from the situation in our own class, if the upper-grade Class C and Class D also have to go through these mandatory written exams every year like we do," Hachiman said.
"If they hadn't taken shortcuts, they wouldn't have been able to retain so many people."
I see.
Kushida nodded slightly.
Hachiman Hikigaya sent her to gather intelligence.
Yes.
Logically speaking, the class evaluation scores of the upper-grade Class C and Class D are also very poor, indicating that they are completely unable to beat the higher-ranked classes.
So how did they manage not to be expelled when they were both considered "trash"?
It's definitely worth inquiring about.
"And if we get the plan," Hachiman said, "Then we can tell our classmates in Kushida's name."
In other words, the proposal was made by Hachiman Hikigaya, but all the benefits went to Kushida?
Hey!
Kushida looked at Hachiman.
Because.
This Hachiman seems to know her quite well.
Indeed.
If it is widely praised, it is indeed a good thing.
In this way.
On one hand, there's the normal arrangement of having the top students in Class B tutor the struggling students in the class.
On one hand, they arranged for Kushida to spy on the upperclassmen.
The make-up classes are scheduled for one hour after school each day.
Those who score below 60 will have to stay and continue their studies.
There's not much to say about that.
Because everyone is currently enjoying free tuition, and the school also provides living expenses.
It's an unimaginable life.
And.
Last month, I suddenly and inexplicably became a student in Class C, and then a few months later, I inexplicably became Class A. Isn't that possible?
Therefore, there are also quite a few optimistic students in the class.
Only.
"The problem lies with chemistry..."
Hachiman's Japanese Language and Literature score was very high, but it wasn't on the midterm exam.
However, in the requirement of 60 points, Hachiman's chemistry fell behind.
So we have to stay.
Hirata was in charge of him.
However, it seems that Hirata is not planning to teach academic matters.
Hachiman noticed that the other person looked at him twice, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping, and then wanting to say something but stopping.
Only.
It's safe to say they truly deserve to be called the original Class D.
"So, you're saying I'm both ignorant and incompetent!?"
Sudō slammed his hand on the table and stood up, talking to Ryuji Kanzaki, one of the top students invited from Class B.
"That's not what I meant. I just meant that solving simultaneous equations is the most basic skill, and you should at least be able to do that."
"And Sudo, you have goals for the future, right? I think studying is a way out," Kanzaki said.
Class B sent a total of 10 top students, 5 boys and 5 girls.
Ichinose was not among them. According to Ichinose, she also needed to give extra lessons to some students in her class.
After all, even in Class B, there might be a few students who want to score higher.
Therefore, this group of top students is now led by Kanzaki.
As a result, Kanzaki was in charge of Yamauchi, while Kanji Ike and Sudō's group were in charge, and Sudō completely overwhelmed them.
"Huh? What's the point of studying? My future is to be a basketball player, so what does it matter if I don't study?"
Sudō looked intimidating. He had short red hair and was very tall. He had great arm strength, and when he slammed his hand on the table, the whole table shook. It wasn't hard to imagine what it would be like if a girl were to teach him.
By now, you must be feeling scared.
However, Kanzaki- san is an athletic type of boy.
Although he seems somewhat introverted, he is not someone who is afraid of others.
"I'm just stating my opinion. I think studying is a way out, and if I can't pass the written exams now, then I'll have to drop out."
"Sudo!" Kanzaki said calmly.
On the other side...
Suzune Horikita's side.
"Why do you have to do this, Horikita?"
"I don't understand at all. How could I possibly understand if you don't explain it to me?"
"I actually did pretty well in elementary school."
As expected, Suzune Horikita's side also performed as planned.
She was in charge of teaching Karuizawa and Sato.
Sato is often with Karuizawa. She has orange, slightly wavy hair, but delicate features.
Although she was dressed like a hot girl, she wasn't wearing much makeup.
She's a girl who's above average in looks.
In Class C, a place teeming with beautiful girls, she was considered outstanding.
However, it seems that neither she nor Karuizawa are Academic Ability gifted.
Then, after being influenced by Horikita's comments, she started to defend herself, saying that she wasn't stupid and that she could get 100 points in elementary school.
That's for sure, because Horikita is a super straightforward woman, and she can't even understand why others would fail a test.
Therefore, it is difficult to get her to teach.
And he was also a top student in his class.
As for Kōenji, he said, "I don't know how to teach people. Rather, I can't understand your way of thinking. I'm a genius." So, he's not among the top students who teach others.
It seems that the learning sessions for First Year Class C still need further improvement.
Looking at this, Hirata showed a troubled expression.
He glanced at Hachiman somewhat embarrassedly, then quickly went to mediate the fight.
It's good that the students from Class B are willing to come and help, but it would be terrible if our own classmates scared them away.
Moreover, there aren't many top students in the class. If they were to be divided up, then each person would probably have to take care of seven or eight students. So now that a top student has come to Class B, they can take care of one-on-one, one-on-two, or at most one-on-three students.
Efficiency will improve.
However, progress is still slow.
But.
An hour of study time has finally come to an end.
Hachiman re-painted 19 reaction formulas.
His memory is only so-so, so we'll have to take it slowly.
From this perspective, I'm somewhat envious of that Arisu Sakayanagi. It's really great to have such a good brain and an amazing memory.
Only.
"Hachiman Hikigaya."
At the end of today's self-study session, Hirata called out to Hachiman.
"Um?"
Hachiman originally wanted to find Horikita to calm her down a bit. Although she had no problem with her Academic Ability, he also had to understand that there were such people as academic underachievers in this world.
It's like someone getting a high score, but someone else will definitely fail.
Alternatively, if she's not very good at teaching, then she shouldn't teach her yet.
Otherwise, if one party is in a bad mood and the other feels they are not learning anything, then it goes against the purpose of the study group.
But Hirata stopped him.
"Can you stay with me for a bit?" Hirata asked.
"..." Hachiman.
Hello.
Hirata, your explanation is strange.
What does it mean to accompany someone?
However, he felt that the other person's mood seemed a bit off today, so Hachiman agreed.
The two went together to the scene of Horikita's Social death, near the vending machine where there were no cameras.
"Bang!"
Hirata bought two drinks from the vending machine.
One of the bottles of coconut juice was handed to Hachiman.
Actually, Hachiman wanted to drink coffee more.
