The Sixth Question
Please read the following passage and answer the question
“Where did Sadakichi go?”
Jihei asks, and Tasuke shrugs as he answers,
“To Okiku He wants to express his 10 years of love to her with his self-proclaimed specialty of Poetry[1]”
After hearing Tasuke’s words, Jihei cannot help but frown,
“He wants to touch her heart by singing a love poeuess the outcome”
“Yeah Bla so bad at it’
Question 1: Please fill in the co in the blank with the correct answer and explain its
Question 2: What is the ‘outcohted in the text? Please write down the outcome Jihei and Tasuke’s expects
Himeji Mizuki's Answer:
1: ‘
despite being so bad at it
It means that he does not know he is bad at it, but is extremely passionate about it
2: Sadakichi’s singing is really bad, so the expected result is that he will not get the girl
Teacher's Comment:
Correct answer This co bad…’ has other forood at it’ Either sentence can be used to describe that the person is actually rather bad in sos, and from this, we know that Jihei and Tasuke expect Sadakichi to fail
Yoshi+ Akihisa's answer:
1: ‘<stubborn> despite being so bad at it
Itno matter how stupid it may look
2: Sadakichi , but Jihei and Tasuke expect that he will get Okiku's heart after seeing hi
Teacher's Comment:
This answer cannot be considered the correct one, but sensei here does not hate it either
“Yo, se”
“You’re too slow already, Sakamoto The kouhais actually made us sempais wait”
“Sorry about that We had to deal with sos, so we came late I suppose your time is rather precious since you’re so busy everyday, sempais”
“Of course! We 3rd years are unlike you stupid guys with rotten brains”
Yuuji and I step into the final checkpoint, and the Toko-Natsu pair are giving us sneers That’s a relaxed expression shown only when they think they’re at an advantage
However, it’s obvious why they would be so relaxed Their physics scores are tops ast the best class in their year, and actually broke through the 400 point marks In contrast, Yuuji doesn’t even have 200 points for physics, and I don’t even have 70 Anyone will feel that we’re at a disadvantage here
“Speaking of which, didn’t you guys say that you want to go ‘one-on-one’ yesterday? You should be ready to bet on soht?”
The crewcut-sely certain of his victory The Mohawk behind hi that we never thought of betting in this straight up duel Or are they thinking that Yuuji and I will go back on our deal or even tell us off badly Are they thinking that way?
“You can if you don’t wantbut you have to kneel down and ad—”
“Alright, we agreed to it anyway Let’s have a punishame for this duel”
““NAR!?””
I grin as I answer, and the Toko-Natsu pair give a weird cry in response to this unexpected answer
“Is, is that so? Since you guys say so, so be it!”
“It’s decided then What punishet?”
“Well…how about ‘the loser has to agree to whatever the winner asks for’?”
““Wha, what are you saying…?””
The Toko-Natsu’s expressions change drastically They probably never thought that I would dare to say such things
“What twisted plan are you thinking about here…?”
“Aren’t you being too confident here?”
“What do you say?”
“This should have soet someone in the classroom to ‘call the world history teacher over here’, shouldn't it?”
Oh, so those two did notice the footage caught by the camera
“Well, don’t think sosyste in the world history teacher is just a matter of precaution”
Yuuji waves his hand as he answers,
“…Well, never , but you’re just trying soin—summon!”
“We’ll definitely send you crying for your mommies Summon!”
The Toko-Natsu glance aside to check that the physics teacher Ki out their summoned beasts
After calling out, the pattern arrays appear like usual—
“What? What’s going on? Why isn’t anything showing up?”
“What the heck is this? What’s going on?”
The pattern arrays never appear, and of course, the Toko-Natsu’s summoned beasts never appeared
“Oya, that’s really weird Did the system really malfunction?”
Ki not too far away, tilts his head as he says,
“Don’t worry, sensei There’s a little mishap, but it seems that it’s just for physics It can’t be helped then Let me use the history teacher I called in for precaution’s sake to decide this duel”
“What? Sakamoto, you bastard…”
“Hm? Do you still have any proble around because you’re so busy? It’ll be really sorry on our part if you have to waste ti for another subject’s teacher to arrive Ah, looks like the world history teacher has arrived”
“You two bastards…you ht!?”
Yuuji’s attitude of treating others like idiots is turning Tsuneer
“Relax se subjects, but I won’t call out my summoned beast This is your battle with Akihisa, and your advantageous situation hasn’t changed”
Yuuji’s stare turns towards the physics teacher Kimura-sensei
I suppose there’s no need for me to explain it here, do I? As what our opponents said, this is all Yuuji’s strategy
Instead of challenging the sempais to a duel in physics, when Yuuji and my scores won’t even reach one-third of their total scores, we e them to a duel of world history, where our scores are more similar For this, Yuuji used his platinuate the physics su field
“You bastard, how did you…”
“Didn’t I say that I won’t be taking part? You’ll only be facing Akihisa, so there’s no need to be so scared, right? Se us 2 on 1 if it’s not your specialty subject even if it’s against us trashy opponents?”
“…damned bastard…!”
Once he creates the su In other words, this duel has to be done by ainst the Toko-Natsu pair However, even if we do so, the differences in our scores will go frohtly easier, but the fact still reed
“Just what I wanted! Since you dare to say so, bring it on! Don’t forget our wager!”
“You guys shouldn’t be forgetting, damn you! Sensei…!”
“Ahh, yes yes, I get it”
Once Yuuji calls out, the world history teacher as called out at the last ht I thought the physics teacher Kimura-sensei would interfere with this, but he doesn’t do anything here, so things are still going according to Yuuji’s plan
“““Summon“”””
The Toko-Natsu andcall echo
This ti is different from before as the patterned arrays appear in front of us Soon after, summoned beasts that are different from the cute versions before appear in the middle of these arrays
A class, Tsunemura Yuusaku, World History 144 points
And
A class, Natsukawa Shunpei, World History, 135 points
What appeared from the Toko-Natsu pair’s summon are the Gozu and Mezubefore Unlike the physics battlefroolden bracelet now
F class, Yoshi+ Akihisa, World history 123 points
My summoned beast is the Dullahan with the head tucked under the ar the heavy sword If I have to say what its greatest weakness, it’s the head tucked between the left arm and the body
“So we’re left with the year’s average…looks like we lost quite a bit of points over here The prelude battle yesterday could be avoided”
“Tch, all because ere sent flying by that bespectacled guy…”
The Toko-Natsu pair had a battle against Kubo-kun and me yesterday Because of the attacks we landed on each other, both of us lost quite a few points Their su by Kubo-kun’s summoned beast, and I was beaten by that crewcut-see However, I have to thank Kubo-kun If he hadn’t helped her
“Alright, Yoshi+ It’s tiuys wanted to change the subjects, so don’t call us despicable for going 2 on 1”
The crewcut-sempai (Natsukawa) Gozu waves the hammer in its hand and attacks e or take this hit if it were physics, but I’ after this change of subject
“Woah…!”
I straighten my body at the fastest speed possible and sla in response, and our swords clash In fact, my dullahan’s poill increase the less I have to move If I don’t move too much, I can put the head on its neck, and I can use both hands freely
“Gu…u…!”
It’s a back and forth battle of strength, and after clashi+ng for a while, I can hear the crewcut-seroan If this continues, we can make them lose balance—but the opponent’s no easy prey
“…Uwah!”
The Mezu that was standing beside Gozu suddenly attacks me The Gozu immediately uses its body to slaht
The Dullahan hasn’t landed as the Gozu raises its hammer to strike I use the sword as a shi+eld to block the Gozu’s attack head on, butis still blown far away
“Not—good…!”
As I was sent flying away, the Dullahan’s head breaks away from its body
The hands that were left erab the head that was separated I barely e that’s caused when it landed
“Looks like you have quite so there, Yoshi+!”
Gozu and Mezu wield their weapons as they close in on e if they attack me at the same time…!
“…!”
While panicking, I hurriedly let e between the two opponents that are rushi+ng over The Gozu and Mezu can only clash their weapons with each other, and are unable to attack
“Looking down on us!?”
Gozu swings down the ha to push the Mezu aside This sudden attack nearly lands on me
