Chapter 76: Ishigami Yuu Begins to Get Arrogant
One hour later.
Inside the library, Ishigami Yuu looked at the four Nakano sisters sitting across from him.
Aside from their hairstyles, they really looked identical.
Although he had heard about it before, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked Ishigami Yuu.
But what shocked him even more was something else.
Ishigami Yuu lowered his head to look at the test paper he had just finished—today was Math review.
The test was given by Sakurai Saki, mostly within the scope he had studied. Although there were a few questions he couldn't solve, the result was still quite good.
...Are there really people who can be this dumb?
( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
Even though he had seen it many times, Ishigami Yuu still found it hard to believe.
He secretly glanced over at the scores of the four people sitting across from him.
Umu, none of them passed.
Shuchiin Academy used half the average score of all students for the semester as the passing mark, which was around 35 points.
And yet, none of the four girls in front of him reached it!
"Itsuki, the thing I told you yesterday, you still don't remember? You're doing the test way too slowly!" Sakurai Saki sighed.
Today he had slightly increased the difficulty of the test, wanting to see how far their limits went. The result? Haa… they couldn't reach the upper limit, and the lower limit didn't even exist!
That's right, even with such terrible results, Sakurai Saki still didn't believe that was their lowest potential.
Because the test included multiple-choice questions.
Ichika relied on random guessing, and she actually guessed a decent number correctly.
Ichika: (๑>•̀๑) Ehe~
As for Yotsuba, she went even further—she directly took out an eraser and began a sacred ritual—letting the RNG Gods decide her fate.
Yotsuba: (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ ⚀ ⚁ ⚂ ⚃ ⚄ ⚅
Relying on luck for multiple-choice questions was one thing, but the fact she planned to use the eraser for fill-in-the-blank questions was something Sakurai Saki couldn't tolerate.
If he hadn't reminded her, she probably would've really filled in A B C D into the blank spots—don't doubt it, Yotsuba could absolutely do something like that.
"If you gave me just a little more time, I could finish everything!" Nakano Itsuki insisted on proving her capability.
She could do it! She could absolutely pass, maybe even score higher.
Ishigami Yuu sneered slightly: "Itsuki-senpai, I really hope during the real test you'll also have time to drag it out like this. The longest exams only last a bit over two hours. In-class quizzes only last one period."
Because there were now several people worse than him, Ishigami Yuu at this moment felt extremely smug and full of pride!
Ishigami: ⎛⎝( ` ᢍ ´ )⎠⎞ᵐᵘʰᵃʰᵃ
What's that saying, "there's always someone better, and always someone worse"?
Japan has over a hundred million people—there's always someone more hopeless than you—Ishigami Yuu had truly realized that!
Sakurai Saki brought him here exactly to nurture his self-confidence, so he didn't say anything.
"Ishigami-kun, weren't you also at the bottom?" Nakano Itsuki protested.
Hearing that, Ishigami Yuu immediately held up his test paper.
The score on the test shone like the sun, causing Nakano Itsuki to momentarily be unable to look directly at it!
Itsuki: ˏˋ ☼ ˎˊ˗(∩˃o˂∩)
Terrifying!
Is this what overwhelming dominance in scores looks like? The gap between passing and failing was like an endless chasm!
"So annoying!" Nakano Itsuki said through gritted teeth.
Though she was furious, the truth was that her score really wasn't as high as his!
Moreover, the other party was in a lower grade than her.
"Ishigami is the student council treasurer, being good at Math is normal," Sakurai Saki said in consolation.
"Miku did pretty well this time, just a little short of reaching 30 points." He personally set the passing threshold for this test at 30 points.
"You'll definitely pass next time."
Nakano Miku never really cared about grades that much, she just lacked strong motivation to study. In reality, she wasn't stupid—last year she was planning to give up, since none of her sisters liked studying, so she didn't feel like trying alone either.
"What about me! What about me!"
(˶ > ᗜ < ˶)/
Nakano Yotsuba raised her hand, full of anticipation for Sakurai Saki's evaluation.
"Umu, you have a lot of potential to improve." Sakurai Saki lied as naturally as breathing.
"Yay~!"
✧｡◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜✧*｡
Yotsuba cheered happily.
Ishigami Yuu had a strange look on his face. Could it be that Yotsuba-senpai really didn't understand the true meaning of that sentence?
"Itsuki. The questions you answered have a very high accuracy rate, this score is very commendable. At least it proves that you still grasp last year's knowledge quite well." Sakurai Saki did not spare praise.
Although this test was all basic types, the kind with examples in the textbook, Itsuki's foundation was indeed quite solid. Or it could be said, her memorization ability was still decent.
As for her flexible adaptability… um, judging by how she did the multiple-choice questions, having to guess each one, it definitely wasn't much better.
"Ichika." Sakurai Saki looked at the last person.
"Huh? Sensei-chan~ what's up?" Nakano Ichika asked curiously.
"Not bad on the test."
"Thanks." Ichika unconsciously touched the corner of her eye.
For today's Math test, Sakurai Saki had mentioned it since yesterday, so last night she studied for a long time.
"That matter, you still have to work hard on it."
"Umu." Nakano Ichika smiled and nodded at him.
(๑´>᎑<)~*
This weekend, she had switched to another artist company.
The main target was Ueno Yoko—the person who was very close to Sakurai Saki last time. The contract violation penalty was temporarily advanced by the other side, since Ichika was new, the fee was not too high.
The reason Sakurai Saki knew this matter so well was because Ueno Yoko herself had called him.
Looking back now, maybe the other party had aimed at Nakano Ichika very early on, and it was not impossible that they had a spy planted by the Nakano sisters' father? But Sakurai Saki only guessed so, the probability was not very high. Because Ueno Yoko had a habit of training potential new recruits, she had always been very good at scouting.
"What? What? What are you all talking about?"
( • ̀ω•́ )✧???
Nakano Yotsuba asked curiously.
This special atmosphere! Something felt off!
Although Ichika had told her sisters that she was working part-time, she had actually never clearly explained the content of the work.
"What should we have for dinner?" Ichika quickly changed the subject.
Hearing about food, Itsuki immediately spoke up: "I want to eat soy sauce ramen!"
Nakano Yotsuba saw her sister didn't want to answer, so she didn't ask further.
She raised her hand and shouted: "I want to drink coca!"
Is this even called dinner? Ishigami Yuu silently mocked in his heart.
Sakurai Saki interrupted their discussion: "We're not done studying yet. There's one more hour, today we'll study about sets."
"Ehhh~…"
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Nakano Yotsuba's little face immediately fell.
...
...
Study time always flew by faster. When the four Nakano sisters left the library, the whole group looked no different than prisoners just released from jail.
So happy, studying is really great! Wonderful! Tomorrow we definitely have to study hard too!
Sakurai Saki watched their backs and imagined what they were thinking.
"Ishigami, how do you feel today?" Sakurai Saki asked.
He didn't think that just relying on today and tomorrow could raise Ishigami Yuu's scores. Studying was a long process.
The small test in two days didn't affect promotion to the next grade, Ishigami could score whatever he wanted.
But the midterm exam more than a month later was a different matter.
Judging by how he played games every day in the student council room and was lazy, he would definitely fail the midterm!
Therefore, with the mentality of "if there are already lice, a few more won't matter," Sakurai Saki was preparing to pull him into the tutoring team.
"Feels great!" Ishigami Yuu smiled brightly, "I didn't expect there were people even worse than me, it's really wonderful!"
"Just thinking that there are people who can't even pass such a simple Math test makes me feel like I can eat three more bowls of rice tonight!"
Ishigami: ꉂ (≧ヮ≦)
Sakurai: (·•᷄_•᷅ )
That thought of yours is way too dark, Ishigami-kun!
Really scary!
Sakurai Saki felt that before raising his academic scores, he probably had to raise his morals first!
