Volume 1 Chapter 7 Part1 (1/2)
”Are you free during lunch? Do you want to eat together?”
During break-time, Horikita came up to me asked
”An invitation from you is unusual I feel scared for some reason”
”It's nothing to be scared about I can buy you the vegetable set, if you're fine with it”
Isn't that the free meal…?
”Just kidding I'll seriously buy you whatever you want to eat”
”Definitely scary Is there some kind of catch?”
Seeing as how Horikita invited me to eat with her, I can't help but feel suspicious
I would be suspicious if I was invited out of the blue I re that before
”If ays doubted everyone else's true intentions, huht?”
”Well, that's true, but…”
I didn't have anything planned, so I followed Horikita to the cafeteria
I chose one of the more expensive meals, found a seat, and sat doith Horikita
”Well then, itadakimasu?”
Horikita was staring atfor me to eat
”What's wrong, Ayanokouji-kun? Why aren't you eating?”
”O-oh”
Scary There's definitely a catch somewhere There's no way that this is for free Nevertheless, I can't stall forever It'd be wasteful if I let it go cold I hesitantly took one bite of my croquette
”It's sudden, but listen to me”
”I have a bad feeling about this…”
As I thought of getting up and running away, rabbed
”Ayanokouji-kun, I'll say it again Won't you listen to me?”
”Fua…”
”Ever since Chiyabashi+ra-sensei's advice, the nu class has certainly decreased It wouldn't be wrong to say that more than half the reason for our deducted points has been erased”
”Yea, that's true It wasn't a really hard probleh”
It , but at least the last few days are much better than before
”Now, the next thing we have to do is to improve the test scores for the midterm in teeks Earlier, Hirata-kun also started to take some action”
”Study groups, huh Well… I guess it would help However—”
”However, what? Sounds like you're iroups?”
”No, don't worry about it It's strange to see you worried about other people, though”
”Originally, I couldn't even i score However, it is true that there are students in the world that inevitably fail their tests”
”Are you talking about Sudou and his friends? Ruthless words as always, I see”
”I' the truth”
Since none of the students could leave school grounds, contact anyone on the outside, or attend craht by other students”
”I'm somewhat relieved because Hirata-kun proactively started up a study group However, Sudou-kun, Ike-kun, and Yaht? I still feel uneasy”
”Oh, those guys They're not on very good terms with Hirata They wouldn't participate”
”In other words, those guys will probably fail And in order to get up to class A, we have to avoid getting negative points and focus on staying positive, right? I also think there's a high possibility that good test scores are related to getting positive points”
It's natural to think that the students would get a reward proportional to the effort they put in
