Volume 1 Chapter 8 Part1 (1/2)
The reunited study group began, and it started off pretty smoothly
Of course, no one really found studying fun or was really delighted to be studying, but everyone worked hard so that they wouldn't have to drop out of school The stupid trio, unlike their usual selves, frantically repeated the proble their necks as they tried to understand Sudou occasionally was on the brink of dozing off, but for the sake of beco class He was earnestly chasing after a far-fetched dreah at Most of us first-years, who had just only gotten out of middle school, didn't have any dreaht, ”What will I be when I grow up?”, but nothingtowards his dream, is a praiseworthy person
Anyway, how does this school even define and measure ability?
At the very least, it's not measured only by academic ability
That's obvious when you see that Ike, Sudou, and I were all accepted
If you're adh, you have tomarks Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me
If the system itself isn't a lie, then there aren't many possible answers
Or are theydifficult problems for Ike and Sudou so they can overcome them?
That question arose in my mind Well, it probably doesn't have such a simple answer Both the lessons and the small test are harder than what Sudou and the others can solve
After theclasses ended, Horikita looked down at ther notes with a small nod It looks like she's satisfied with the notes she took
Even if it's teaching the stupid trio, Horikita will definitely do her best to create the best results It's only natural because she wants to improve the class' score and raise the ability of the students
However, we're not ai for full marks All ant is for Ike and the others to pass
As soon as the bell rang for lunch, Ike and the others ran for their lives Lunch is 45 , it was promised that everyone would meet in the library for 20 minutes to study
At first, we planned to study in the classroom, but since it would be noisy, it was decided that ould study in the library so that we could concentrate better
However, I think that the real reason was so that Horikita could avoid Hirata Hirata's group usually discusses studylunch If ere nearby, ould probably be able to overhear everything they say She probably doesn't want that
”Horikita, what are you doing for lunch?”
”Well—”
”Ayanakouji-kun Do you want to eat lunch together? I have no other plans today”
Kushi+da suddenly jumped into my vision
”Oh, sure Then do you want to eat with Kushi+da too—”
”See you later I already have plans, so excuse me”
Getting up quickly, she left the classroom by herself
”Sorry, Ayanakouji-kun Was I… a bother?”
”No, no, it's fine”
Kushi+da looked at Horikita's back and waved ”Bye bye~”
Was this planned out? After discovering her secret the other day, I feel like Kushi+da is trying to keep track of h she said she believed ht tell someone
In the end, we ended up going to the cafe to get lunch When the two of us arrived at the cafe, I was overwhelirls there
”What is this, there are so irls…”
More than 80 of all the students were girls
”It's not really a place where boys eat”
The irls would like, but athletic people like Sudou would only complain that the portions were too small The only boys here were riajuus and playboys They were either sitting with another girl or irls
”I think the school cafeteria is better after all I feel uncomfortable”
”You'll get used to it Koenji-kun comes here every day, you know? Look, he's over there”
Kushi+da pointed towards a large table with a lot of seats around it I could see the figure of Koenji surrounded by girls
He has his usual self-important attitude
I seemed to never see him around lunch time; is this where he alent?
”He looks popular Those girls are all third-years”
Kushi+da is also surprised I could overhear some of the conversation between Koenji and the senpais
”Koenji-kun, say 'aah~'”
”Haha~! Older girls are definitely better~”
Without feeling timid in the presence of third-years, he ate his irls
”That guy, he's really so…”
”It looks like his name has been talked about here and there”
I see, are those girls doing it for the money?
”What a sad world we live in”
”Those girls are only being practical You can't afford to eat with only your dreams”
”Would you do that too?”
”I like to drea armor?”
”A knight in shi+ning armor, huh”
We found seats as far away from Koenji as possible
