Section 4

"I'll get another cup of coffee."

"Ooh, me too!"

It has been more than 30 minutes since Yukimura started confirming their test results on Pallet. He had yet to look up from the exam sheet, and it seemed like it would take longer for him to decide on a plan.

Hasebe and Miyake went to the cashier with their empty glasses. Pallet

have a policy where your second glass will have a price of half of the original, even if it is only valid on the same day.

Pallet sells coffee that is cheap, tasty, and generally perfect. It seems to be getting more and more popular among first year students.

Hasebe and Miyake were already preparing to drink their third glass, but Yukimura, who was focused on her work, had not even finished the second half of the first.

His attention was on textbooks, notes, and exam papers, considering how to make the best progress for the study group.

"It looks like a lot of work."

“That's because I effectively never taught people how to learn. I used to teach an idiot how to study late into the night in high school, but I couldn't stand to do that. He lacked the basics, and was unable to concentrate on the material very well. ”

Yukimura placed her pen on the table and looked at the ceiling as if recalling that time.

“Now I can't forget the time I wasted. I think it's stupid to teach people how to learn. During the first semester, when you and Horikita held a study group for those idiots to fail, I laughed at you inwardly.The same goes for the group created by Hirata. Isn't that like a waste of time? Someone who has no intention of learning almost always hates doing it in the first place. I spent a day or two trying to get rid of failed grades, so if they went back to their pre-study state it was just a waste of my time. ”

Instead of being rude, Yukimura seemed to mutter her honest thoughts.

“Then, why did you decide to teach us this time?”

It was hard to compare the cramming that Yukimura taught to the final exam. If you do not study carefully, you should not expect to overcome difficulties.

Yukimura was under a lot of pressure. If Hasebe and Miyake were to be expelled, he would probably choose to assume the responsibility himself.

If it got to that point, he would look beyond the fact that it was their own responsibility and begin to regret that he could teach them better. That's the type of person from Yukimura.

“I am useless during sports festival. What I decided not to need has worked to trap me. The only difference here is whether the school prioritizes athletics or academics. ”

Ike, Yamauchi, Sudo, and other students who were unwilling to study. Yukimura who does not want to exercise. Despite their differences, since he had judged that the school determined these things to be equally important, he had come to this conclusion.

“In this school, it is not enough just to learn. It is not enough to just exercise. Even if we combine the two, it still won't be enough. Even people like Horikita or Hirata, who were experienced in both, could not survive alone. Intuition, inspiration, and common sense. Ultimately, we will be asked to display these irreplaceable qualities of human society. There's no way we can do it alone. We need to be together as a team and stay together. That's the only way. ”

Yukimura should have suffered all sorts of hardships to get into this school by now.

“So I decided to help. I want to contribute to what I can do for the class. ”

And that, of course, is holding a study group.

“It was also because I realized that I had selfish feelings about learning. I remember my selfish mother when I

I thought about it, so I checked myself... No, this story is unnecessary. You can forget it. ”

Yukimura, who had returned from her thoughts, interrupted her and shifted her gaze from the ceiling.

“Maybe if I had to teach Ike, I would have more problems. Miyake and Hasebe have

work hard and be serious with their school work, so it's a lot easier. Also, since they are good at science, this should not be too difficult. I don't know how much I can help, but I can expect them to at least have some considerable improvement. ”

What he thinks ahead ...... No, was it better to take this in response to the two of them? Although he only listened in silence, he could see that Miyake and Hasebe had a good attitude towards

read. They both have pretty good points of view and the ability to understand the material.

Because of this, Yukimura earnestly wanted to do his best to

them.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Hasebe and Miyake have not returned.

It seems like there will be a time before the start of the study session, so I gave this excuse to leave the table as well. This was because I had felt the gazes not only from Ishizaki, but also from others.

Even though I couldn't see it clearly, someone had deliberately tried to peek over here. Yukimura did not see me when I left at all, so I moved straight to their seats. I didn't think that they had noticed me, so I walked directly while hiding my presence.

"What are you doing yourself, Sakura?"

"Hyaa !?"

Sakura jumped up slightly in her chair and looked up in fear.

"Uh ... Coincidentally, really, Ayanokouji-kun!"

"Oh, so this is a coincidence?"

"A coincidence, yes!"

"Didn't you see us from behind from time to time?"

"That ... that .... I-I'm sorry ..."

Since Sakura did not have the confidence to lie in the first place, she immediately confessed.

"It looks like you don't have anything to say, right?"

So there was no need for him to come here. If it was urgent, he would call or email.

He had no business or need here, and he was not the type of person who would ask others, so look at it in a way

this ...

"Do you want to join a study group as well?"

"Ap, why, why?"

“Yeah, the reason is rather simple. I can see the study tools in your bag. ”

You don't have to take all your notebooks with you wherever you go, but study groups will be a different story.

There are many students here who are self-taught, but Sakura would never choose to study in a place like this.

"Oh no……"

He panicked a little and tried to close his bag, but it was too late. The reaction itself is like saying yes.

“If you don't mind our study group, will you join us? I'll ask the others. "

"B-but I .. I hardly ever talk to them ..."

Sakura could not get close to our table because she was not good at connecting with others. I understand this even though he didn't say it.

“You've come this far yourself? If it was Sakura that I knew, you wouldn't even be able to take the opportunity to come to Pallet and risk the chance to meet people. ”

It is not easy to lurk alone in a place filled with large and small groups of people. The idea of escaping and

coming back again should have crossed his mind a few times.

Despite that, he still managed to remain here, which showed Sakura's current state of mind.

“It is up to you to decide what to do. It's better not to assume only my opinion on this. You should consider the opinions of Yukimura, Hasebe, and Miyake. ”

Sakura was probably desperate with these words.

She would probably hate me and think: 'She wouldn't take a stand and accept me.'

However, Sakura's passive attitude has both the good parts and the bad parts.

Since this was a matter of his progress as a person, keeping his distance and waiting to see what he chose himself was the best policy.

Of course, I have reason to think about this. Despite being in a group now, the threshold for

communication with Yukimura and the others seemed to be lower than with the other classmates. I feel that way. Sakura must have the same feeling.

“Just think about what you want to do. We'll stay here for the next hour and study. ”

Although it seemed a little cold, I left Sakura after just saying those words. Even though the cafe was overcrowded, if I spent too much time beside Sakura's chair, I would be immediately spotted by Hasebe.

I casually returned to my seat. Yukimura just glanced at me and said nothing. After waiting for about 2 minutes, we were approached by another.

“Wait a long time. So, have you finished everything?”

"I'm almost done."

Yukimura hastened his pace.

"Oh yeah! That's right Ayanokouji-kun, I want to ask you something. Okay?"

"Stop, Hasebe." Miyake stops Hasebe from asking

something's.

"Oh come. Like, it's no big deal if someone else hears it. ”

“That's not the problem. Consider the time and place, huh? ”

"It's after school, and it's a school cafe, so now's the perfect time to start a lesson, right?"

After Miyake saw that Hasebe had no intention of retreating, she shook her head as if giving up. What is he trying to ask me?

“Ayanokouji-kun, are you dating Horikita-san?”

“Direct response? Should I say that the answer sounds pretty well trained? To me, it seems suspicious. ”

“I've been questioned by many people before. Horikita and I don't always work together. ”

“It may be true. But they say that the rumors about love are only half wrong, you know. "

A girl like Hasebe who prefers to be alone also seems to be seriously interested in the topic of romance.

A wise man in this situation is not

will forget to check on Hasebe to find out if she has a boyfriend.

Of course, it was impossible for me to do it (it was impossible), so the topic ended with that.

"Good!"

Yukimura suddenly raised his head in full force. It seemed like he had finally completed his revision.

“Somehow, I feel like I can understand exactly where you two are having a hard time. This is a detailed plan that I want to focus on moving forward. ”

He announces this and gives the note he wrote to Miyake.

“I tried asking some liberal arts questions. I will also have Hasebe answer it as well, so don't answer it directly in my notebook. Write yourself. Ten minute time limit for all ten questions. ”

Miyake took out her notebook without

complaints about impromptu questions. Because he understood that this was for him

producing the best results, he obeyed the instructions. After ten minutes of struggling, Yukimura gave Hasebe a question like a baton. The purpose of these questions is to conduct a more in-depth investigation of their weaknesses.

Then, after a total of 20 minutes of exams, Yukimura immediately started writing their grades in his notebook.

"Honestly, you guys ......"

Yukimura finished grading the impromptu exam, and with******blown, gave them a grade.

They have three right answers, six wrong, and the last half right.

Their exams were the same, but it was surprising that they managed to get the exact same questions right and wrong.

"Not only are you good at the same subject, but you each have the same tendency to memorize information."

“Outstanding! Doesn't it feel like almost our destinies are intertwined, Miyatchi? ”

"I don't feel it."

“Ah, as always, your response is boring. But isn't this a problem? ”

Hasebe returned to his senses and began to feel anxious, but in reality, the opposite was true.

“It would be better to say that this situation is fine. It only took half an effort to finish. ”

if their learning abilities and tendencies were almost exactly the same, as Yukimura said, the burden should be light.

The number of people that needed to be taught could basically be considered only one person.

Of course, since they were so similar, there had to be some trivial differences, but when the situation arose, as long as they followed their instructions, it should go smoothly.

"Do you think this is going to be easy?"

“It depends on how much effort you guys put in from now on. These questions are less difficult questions, but your grades are still a little distracting. I think it's necessary for us to gather like this on a regular basis ... In short, we need to learn more. Counting down from the day of the final exam, I want to have seven or eight chances to gather. A certain amount of time between each meeting will be better so you can do a little self-study as well. Are you three okay with this? Miyake should also have problems with the club's activities. ”

“As we approach the final exam, the amount of club activity will decrease slightly, but let me ask to make sure.”

Yukimura nodded at this natural request. Then there's Hasebe.

“Ah, tell me one thing before I answer you, okay? Is this somewhat what it feels like to study normally? I don't like it, like studying, but when it comes to reviewing this and that, I think I can still do it myself. Is there any benefit to studying in a group like this? Yes, I know that having a smart person teach me will increase efficiency, and I came here because of Miyatchi's advice, but I'm still a bit dubious about it all. ”

"You don't seem to doubt only my teachings."

Yukimura noticed Hasebe's tone of response, which explained the policy.

“I won't be holding a regular study group. This is because when the questions for past exams are made by the school, this time it will be made by another class. School questions are usually intended to help get into university and are standardized to content that is basic or relatively easy to learn. Simply put, it's about it. On the other hand, the fact that the question will be written by another student is unknown. It is difficult to formulate a tendency and countermeasures for it. This is why after

considering this, it is necessary to study for this exam. ”

Miyake was convinced by Yukimura's explanation.

"Rubber. Class C will definitely give us very complicated questions. ”

“Ah, yes, it is not entirely impossible to formulate a tendency

and countermeasures. It may be unthinkable to appear the problem Class C will have for us, but what if we

thinking about the people who will write about them? As far as I can predict, I think the author of the question will be done by

'Kaneda's'. "

Although I was not entirely familiar with the name, it was never heard of before.

"He's a disgusting creepy-faced guy with those glasses, right?"

“I'm not too sure if I agree with that, but it's probably that guy. He was the best student in Class C. ”

If Yukimura's information is correct, it would be appropriate to assume that students who have done well in their studies will be the ones to write their questions.

"Ah, but if the problem turns out to be very distorted, it might as well be one written by Ryuen or Ishizaki, right?"

"That's impossible. Even if there was a trick question, it was impossible to find one without first having a strong background in the subject. Try to imagine for yourself. Is

you think you can ask an IPS question that can't be solved easily? ”

"……No, not at all. I couldn't even think of a topic in the first place. ”

“Same thing here. What types of social questions will be tested? ”

“That's how it is. Even if you think about it, your mind will only display clear content. Difficult problems and trap questions are not something that can be made easily even if you want to. If you look at a textbook and aim for the hard parts of the content,

the school will probably reject the question because the issue was not set up properly.”

Good guess. However, it was just a little too weak to awaken confidence.

"Is it up to the school to finally decide whether a question is acceptable or not?"

I gave a little comment into Yukimura's story.

"If so, do we need to know the clear standards that schools use to determine a question to be accepted?"

"That's right. If we know that, we don't have to work hard. ”

“I think it's possible to find out. In short, if Class D prepares a number of highly selective questions, and gives them to the school for review, is it impossible to know the clear answers to standard questions based on which questions are accepted? ”

“Ah, true too. That's actually a very good idea. ”

"You're so sharp, Ayanokouji-kun."

“In this case, we seem to have to ask these questions as early as possible to identify the benchmark

which the school has. I will try to think of some questions myself, but will Horikita or Hirata be willing

helping too? ”

"I don't know .. we're completely separated from them now, so the details aren't clear."

“It's troublesome. You are the only one who can keep in touch with them.”

Miyake and Hasebe also nodded almost simultaneously.

"I understand. I'll see what I can do .. but don't expect too much of me. ”

Are Horikita and Yukimura planning to use me as a convenient intermediary for them?

"Yes I understand." Hasebe's hesitation seems to have gone, and there's a smile on

her face.

"Well, I don't do club activities, so let's decide how to do this based on what it works for

Miyatchi, okay?"

With that said, he gave up all decision-making rights.

When Miyake heard this, he looked at Hasebe in surprise.

“I think Hasebe will still refuse. Unusual, you don't usually want to get involved with men. ”

“It looks like it would be bad if I didn't join the study group. It would be my own fault if I was going to be like, expelled, but I don't want to involve Miyatchi, okay? ”

He seems to have agreed to the interests of his friend Miyake not for himself.

“Well, this should be enough for today. I plan to hold the first study session tomorrow the day after tomorrow. ”

Yukimura concluded the first session. Does he plan to discuss trending topics and formulate countermeasures today and tomorrow?

After that, even as we announced that we were done and left Pallet, Sakura still did not come to talk to us.
