Although he had come to Ryuen's class, Hachiman was not here to do charity work. He was already in the process of squeezing points out of Ryuen's class, and Ryuen might incur some losses if he wanted to make a push for Class A. Ryuen had also covered those expenses.
So Hachiman's goal had already been fulfilled. Naturally, there was no need for him to consider what Ryuen's class truly lacked or what paths these students would take in the future.
Besides, he had his own direction to work toward.
That was right.
Right now, in the girls' room, Hachiman was attending a study group led by Sakayanagi Arisu.
Sakayanagi's tutoring group had already set its schedule: three consecutive daytime study sessions from Tuesday through Thursday.
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Lunch was provided.
However, the amount of food depended on how well they completed the tutoring group's tasks. They might have no time to eat at all, might only get a little, or might be allowed to eat freely. At the same time, every member attending the sessions was required to follow this rule. Secretly eating or bringing snacks was forbidden.
In other words, she wanted to use lunch as a weapon to keep the students attending tutoring in line.
Want to eat? Fine. Then seriously complete your tutoring assignments and get good results.
"Your mind works quite well, Hachiman, but after getting closer to you, I discovered that you have major shortcomings in the sciences."
"Is this what they call distance creating beauty?"
As the little tutor, Sakayanagi-sensei looked thoroughly serious.
But Hachiman merely listened to that statement without agreeing with it.
Because...
Could she say that if she were teaching him humanities?
Still, tutoring was meant to address weak subjects, so that did make some sense.
