The midterm
Today is Thursday after school The day before the midterm
After Chiyabashi+ra-sensei ended homeroom and walked out, Kushi+da quickly took action
She took printouts of the old midterm that I copied at the convenience store the other day and brought them with her to the podium
”Sorry, but can you guys listen tohome?”
Sudou also stopped and listened
I couldn't leave this role to anyone but Kushi+da
”I hope everyone has been studying a lot for to that can help for soht I'll hand them out now
She handed out the questions and answer sheet to everyone in the front row
”Test… questions? Did you make them, Kushi+da-san?”
Horikita was also surprised
”Actually, these are old test probleht”
”Old test problems? Eh, eh? Are these actual valid questions?”
”Yea Two years ago, the midterm had nearly the same questions as the one on this problem set So, if you practice, I think we'll do better”
”Woah! Seriously? Kushi+da-chan, thank you!”
Ike hugged his test in happiness All the other students also couldn't hold back their emotions
”What the hell, if we have these proble become useless?”
While laughing, Ya at the saht
”Sudou-kun, do your best while studying today”
”Yea Thanks”
Sudou also received the problems happily
”This is a secret from all the other classes! Let's all do well and succeed!”
Ike shouted out loud with deterree There's no need to send help to the other classes Everyone returned hoh spirits
”Kushi+da-san Good job”
Horikita went up to Kushi+da and praised her uncharacteristically
”Ehehe, is that so?”
”I never thought to use the old tests I'm also thankful that you went to see if these questions were still valid to use”
Looks like Horikita, who doesn't have any friends, didn't come up with the idea
”It's nothing special I' this for my friends, after all”
”Also, I think it was right to announce it today, after school If word got out earlier, everyone would've probably lost motivation”
”It's only because I got the problems pretty late If the saet good scores”
”Yea Also, our last teeks of studying weren't in vain”
Even though it was probably an extrerades, but I think they all got into the habit of studying
”It as hard, but it was fun too”
”I don't think that trio had the least bit of fun while studying”
Well, we've done all we could It was up to how
”I just hope that I don't blank out during the test”
There's not much that can be done about that one No , all thatwith the old test problems can help with this issue
”Well then, I' home too”
Horikita silently looked at Kushi+da, as putting her textbook and notes into her bag
”Kushi+da-san”
”Hmm?”
”Thank you veryup to now If you weren't here, the study group wouldn't have succeeded”
”Don't worry about it~ I just want to ai with everyone That's why I agreed to help I'll help any time”
With a s
”Wait I just want to confir”
”Confirm?”
”I need to confir with me”
Horikita looked straight at the s Kushi+da and asked
”You hate me, don't you?”
”Hey, hey…”
I ondering what she wanted to ask, but that was unexpected
”Why do you think that?”
”You're not answering because it's true… aht?”
”…Ahaha, you got me”
She put on her backpack and slowly lowered her hand back down And then she faced Horikita while s
”Yea I really hate you”
She replied directly, without trying to hide it
”Should I tell you the reason?”
”…No It's not necessary It's good enough to just know the fact It just means that I can now talk to you without any hesitation from now on”
Even though she was told directly that she was hated, Horikita calmly replied to Kushi+da

In the , Chiyabashi+ra-sensei walked into the classroom with a smile
”This is the first obstacle to being able to stay in school Does anyone have any questions?”
”We have been studying diligently for the past feeeks I don't think there will be any dropouts in this class, you know?”
”You have a lot of confidence, Hirata”
All the other students also had a look of confidence Lining up the tests by tapping theainst the table, she then passed theuess you can call it the easiest test a all the subjects
If anyone trips up here, honestly, all the other tests will be a difficult struggle
