Final exams! For the sake of future studies and a summary of the past year for themselves, plus the study craze stirred up by the principal over the past month.
This is a trial! A trial of everyone's grades and preparations!
To Shirogane Miyuki, this is an opportunity to surpass Uchiha Ryo! It is also an opportunity to surpass himself! From childhood to adulthood, Shirogane Miyuki has only ever had the desire to [absolutely surpass] three people.
The first is Shinomiya Kaguya, who placed first in the entrance exam, but she has already been surpassed.
The second is Uchiha Ryo, who maintained first place after the second exam, and is his biggest rival to date.
The third... is from outside the school, the first place winner who crushed Shirogane Miyuki by twenty points in the national mock exam in the first half of the year, named Shijo Mikado.
But setting aside people from other schools for now, and since that national mock exam was voluntarily registered for, Shirogane Miyuki is also unsure if there are other geniuses out there like Uchiha Ryo, who are super strong in studying but disdain such exams.
Therefore, his primary goal is still to seize the throne of grades from Uchiha Ryo!
To Shinomiya Kaguya, this exam also represents all her hard work over the past year! She considers herself a calculating person, so during this year, she not only pushed Shirogane Miyuki to the position of Student Council President, but also pushed Hayasaka Ai to Uchiha Ryo.
She refuses to believe it! She heard that Shirogane Miyuki completed his Student Council work outstandingly, and Uchiha Ryo frequently goes out to play with Hayasaka Ai and others. How could these two guys who have no time to study score higher than her!
There is only one final victor! That is Shinomiya Kaguya of the Shinomiya family, she can already feel the horn of victory blowing in her ears!
Of course, besides the second and third place in the grade, others are also working hard.
Yukinoshita Yukino has maintained the fifth place for a long time, and she also wants to take this opportunity to surpass herself. Strive to get first place in the grade just like her sister did back in the day!
However, Yukinoshita Haruno, who hasn't appeared for a long time, expressed that the pressure in their year wasn't this big at all... There were no terrifying external students, nor were there the eldest misses of the Shinomiya and Shijo families.
Chitanda Eru's grades are not as stable as the previous few people, mostly sixth, but occasionally dropping a few places due to mistakes.
But she could feel the studying will of the people around her, and this will truly infected Chitanda, whose main focus was usually playing. People who aim for the summit will not cling to the scenery halfway up the mountain! She wants to charge towards the top five of the grade!
Hayasaka Ai yawned. What study craze? It has nothing to do with her. She just needs to control her score well and continue ranking in the middle. As for Toyogasaki next door...
The academic performance of Kessoku Band is really nothing to compliment. Except for the honor student Kita, they all need various degrees of reviewing. Especially a certain pink hair!
Speaking of which, why can't the two pink-haired girls from the two schools put their minds on studying? What exactly are they thinking inside?
The professional valet, the maid of a thousand faces, Hayasaka Ai, expressed that she completely cannot see through what Goto Hitori and Fujiwara Chika are thinking inside.
First of all, excluding superpowers like true mind reading, the so-called mind reading in the world is just guessing what the other party is thinking based on predictive thinking.
A person's thinking is like walking on a road extending in all directions, sometimes turning, sometimes stagnating. The basic element of mind reading is making the next prediction based on a person's facial expressions, actions, and understanding of their identity.
To give the simplest example, you see a person in a school uniform holding a report card looking frustrated. He didn't say anything, but you guessed that he was sad because he didn't do well on the exam. This is idiot-style mind reading!
But! These two people, Goto Hitori and Fujiwara Chika, their thinking is like walking on the road and stepping on a banana peel, sometimes even they don't know where they've slipped off to!
One second she is studying, the next second she can think about whether to eat rice or noodles for lunch tomorrow.
Regarding this, Hayasaka Ai, who is tutoring Bocchi, feels a headache!
At the same time in the Shinomiya house, Shinomiya Kaguya, who is accompanying Fujiwara Chika to review, expressed that she can understand very well! Teaching pink-haired girls is really hard...
If other people were catching up with the principal's study craze, then for Ishigami Yu, the result of this exam has a greater significance for him.
This is Shiranui Koromo's trust in him, and that fellow Iino Miko actually has expectations for him too. Then Ishigami Yu must give a relative response!
He swore to get into the top fifty of the grade in this final exam!
"What if you fail?" Uchiha Ryo, who was invited to the Ishigami house to help with tutoring, suddenly asked.
"If I fail... it's also very normal, right. To go directly from outside the top hundred into the top fifty... I'm not a genius like you or Shirogane-senpai."
Uchiha Ryo glanced at Ishigami Yu beside him.
"Do you really think so?"
"....."
Ishigami Yu let out a long breath. "I would probably be... very unwilling, right. After all, everyone has expected themselves to be the kind of... cool person who, although their grades are lagging behind, can do well on exams as long as they study hard."
"....Push A Main! Flash them!"
That's right, at this time Ishigami Yu is duo-queueing with Uchiha Ryo. The reason is very simple, because one must balance work and rest~ So after studying for half a day, of course one must play games for a while.
"Is it really okay for us to be like this?" Ishigami Yu, after getting an ACE in the game, felt somewhat down.
Uchiha Ryo shrugged, "What do you think yourself? Anyway, I agreed to your [balance work and rest] statement."
"I...."
Ishigami Yu smiled bitterly. "I feel like I'm just a softie who is always attracted by the entertainment in front of me. I say cool things about responding to their expectations, but when it comes to action, I can't do it."
Uchiha Ryo clapped his hands, and incidentally stole Ishigami Yu's ACE.
"It's already very good that you can think like this. Actually, there are too many people in this world like you, but they can't clearly see their own soft side."
"But humans are just like this. No wonder the hardest part is the teeth, because the mouth is quite stubborn too."
Moreover, humans will undergo various subtle changes in the structure of the brain due to various innate or acquired factors.
Some people are born smart with active thinking. While some, even if forced to study, will not achieve great success, because they are better at doing things other than studying.
"It's very good that you can understand your shortcomings, so next, work hard based on your shortcomings. Since your math ability is very strong, then we will specialize in the humanities!"
The game ended, and Uchiha Ryo stood up and left the computer.
"The opponents are so noob. The game is over! Let's study. Today, even if it takes a mental stamp, I will make you memorize the knowledge points!"
