What Yuta Kijima said best describes her situation. She was the one among the five sisters who wanted to do well in her studies the most. She would listen attentively and take notes in every class, but the results of each exam were unsatisfactory.
This was arguably the biggest blow to her.
Ichika looked up at Yuta Kijima and said slowly, "Kijima-kun, you don't know our true abilities yet, do you? I'm not trying to discourage you, but improving our grades is really not easy..."
Yuta Kijima frowned. "That's why I'm meeting with you today."
"First, I want to give you a mental preparation. Tomorrow I will find a test paper for you to take and see, mainly to check your abilities in each subject."
"Secondly... I hope you can cooperate with me more in my future tutoring work."
May naturally wouldn't refuse. Ever since she learned that Kato Megumi's improved grades were due to Kijima Yuta's tutoring, she had already been dreaming of the day when her grades would improve. Only in this way could she fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher in the future.
May said, "No problem!"
……
After the initial voices of agreement from May disappeared, the classroom fell into a brief silence.
Finally, Yotsuba said with a look of utter despair, "Yuta, you're not going to give us a ton of homework from now on, are you? You know how much effort it takes us to finish the homework our teachers usually assign."
"If you keep tormenting us, then we won't have any time for ourselves at all..."
Ichika, Nino, and Miku nodded in agreement.
They were indeed worried about this happening, after all, they had their own hobbies and were unwilling to put all their energy into studying.
Yuta Kijima was surprised by their attitude towards learning, and he also realized how lenient Nakano Maruo had been with them in the past. But his job was to do this, and now was not the time to compromise.
"I can't make that guarantee right now, since I know nothing about your individual learning progress," Yuta Kijima shook his head.
After a pause, Yuta Kijima continued, "I also want to reduce my workload, but only if your learning progress is within my acceptable range. If the test results are truly unacceptable, I'll have to be a little harsher on you..."
"What?!" Nakano Nino frowned, looking impatient. "Then how can we possibly have any time for ourselves?"
How could she not know the achievements of her own sisters? Kijima Yuta's words just now had basically determined what their future would be like.
This was practically a tactical move for Nino Nakano, who already harbored some dislike for Yuta Kijima.
Yuta Kijima wasn't angry. He said calmly, "You should all know your own situation. If we continue to indulge you like this, do you think you still have a chance to advance to higher education?"
Although Ichika and Miku were upset, they didn't say anything, and Yotsuba had already prepared herself mentally.
Seeing Nino's sudden outburst, Ichika shook her head, gave an awkward smile, and explained to Kijima Yuta, "Of course we know how serious this is, Nino just hasn't quite adjusted yet..."
Miku turned her head slightly, her azure eyes looking over, and said in a calm tone, "I think Kijima-kun is right too..."
Yotsuba said dejectedly, "Anyway, it just means I can't join any clubs..."
As someone who's been through it all, Kijima Yuta naturally knows the principle of giving a stick and then a sweet treat. He immediately added, "As long as your learning progress can keep up with what the current teacher is teaching, then future management will definitely be easier. I've said before that I don't want to put all my energy into teaching you."
"Put yourself in my shoes," Yuta Kijima said calmly. "When you're studying, I'm also by your side. Aren't we working hard together?"
"Yes, if we really improve our grades, we'll have more free time in the future!"
May had clearly become Kijima Yuta's accomplice, and he agreed as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing the others remain silent, Yuta Kijima said helplessly, "You guys think about it yourselves, otherwise I don't have the confidence to help you improve your grades..."
Nakano Ichika immediately nodded, smiling happily: "No problem. As their eldest sister, I completely agree with Kijima-kun's statement. We originally came to Kijima-kun to improve our grades, but of course, we will follow your arrangements."
Nino glared at her, but for now, she had no choice but to give in...
Chapter 214: Asking for Help
Yuta Kijima sighed inwardly. It seemed good at the moment, but he believed that conflicts would inevitably arise during the tutoring sessions.
"That's settled then. I'll give the test paper to Yotsuba tomorrow."
After saying that, Yuta Kijima prepared to leave the classroom.
As he approached the classroom door, he seemed to remember something, turned to look at Nakano Satsuki, and said, "Nakano-kun, you..."
To his surprise, as soon as he said that, all five students in the classroom turned to look at him.
"..."
Nakano Ichika smiled gently: "Kishima-kun, you can call us by our names from now on. After all, you'll be our tutors, so it'll be easier to call us by our names."
Yuta Kijima paused for a moment, nodded, and then continued, "May, if you know Megumi, you can borrow her study notes to take a look. Her learning progress has basically caught up with the teachers'..."
"By the way, you all must do tomorrow's test on your own. I'll ask you questions randomly. If you cheat or borrow from each other, don't blame me..."
He looked at everyone in the classroom and said earnestly, "If everyone's test papers end up being the same, then what's the point of tutoring?"
……
"boom."
The classroom door was closed.
In May, she immediately opened the lunchbox she had brought and started eating. It was filled with food for at least two to three people.
She didn't feel comfortable eating when Yuta Kijima was around. Although she doesn't gain weight, she still can't relax in front of strangers.
The other four completely ignored this foodie.
Ichika looked at Nino with a puzzled expression and asked, "Nino, why do you seem to dislike Kijima-kun a little?"
Miku nodded slightly. "Yeah, does Nino usually like handsome guys? Why is she angry with Kijima this time?"
Yotsuba opened her bento box and shook her head, saying, "I think you guys are just too prejudiced against Yuta. Yuta hasn't done anything to wrong us except for doing his job."
"And he only agreed to be our tutor because he wanted to help his sick friend..."
After saying that, she joined the group eating in May.
"..."
Nakano Ichika twirled a strand of hair with her finger and agreed, "Yotsuba is right. It seems that if we continue like this, we have no hope of getting into a good school."
Nino bit her lip in annoyance. She understood the reasoning behind it, but she was still a little unhappy to see a stranger intruding into the otherwise harmonious group.
"Nino, you should try to relax. I also think Yotsuba makes a good point. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered teaching us at all," Miku said gently, trying to comfort her.
At this point, Nino had nothing more to say, so she could only reply perfunctorily, "I know..."
the other side.
Just as Yuta Kijima returned to the classroom, picked up his lunchbox, and was about to start eating, his cell phone suddenly rang.
After recognizing the caller, Yuta Kijima put the phone to his ear, somewhat puzzled: "Hello? Why are you calling me now, senpai?"
"Go now?"
"Okay...okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Yuta Kijima packed up his lunchbox and headed towards the audiovisual classroom.
Every day, even having lunch is full of twists and turns.
A short while later, he arrived at the door of the audiovisual classroom and pushed it open to enter.
Upon entering, the first thing you see is a girl with long, straight black hair sitting by the window, quietly turning the pages of a book in the sunlight.
"Where are the others, senior?"
Yuta Kijima had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery before him. Instead, he looked around the classroom and asked a question.
Hearing the door open, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was reading a book, looked up slightly. Her wine-red eyes fell on Kijima Yuta, and she said lazily, "What? Isn't it enough for me to be alone?"
Kijima Yuta: "..."
He didn't say anything, but took his bento box and sat down in a chair three or four seats away from Kasumigaoka Utaha. Before he could even open the bento box, he heard a commanding voice.
"Junior, sit next to me!"
"?" Yuta Kijima looked over, puzzled.
"You swore yesterday that you would listen to me, so why are you disobeying me now?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gently shook her leg.
Yuta Kijima's face darkened: "So why did you call me over when everyone else is not here?"
If it weren't for the urgency in your voice on the phone, I would have thought something terrible had happened.
“Of course, I’m asking you, junior, to start fulfilling your responsibilities.” Kasumigaoka Utaha twirled a strand of hair with her fingers, her wine-red eyes fixed on Kijima Yuta.
Yuta Kijima ignored him and started eating from his lunchbox.
To everyone's surprise, Kasumigaoka Utaha, seeing that he was still so disobedient, actually took her books and sat down next to Kijima Yuta.
She pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and slightly raised her chin: "Is this what you meant yesterday, junior, by listening to me?"
"Or have you been completely bewitched by those five sisters, and gradually forgotten about us aging and fading women..."
After saying that, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
Yuta Kijima, chewing on tempura, glanced at the drama queen next to him and asked, "So, what exactly did you call me over here for at noon today, senpai?"
"What about Megumi and Tomoya?"
"Well, it seems I can't compare to my junior, Megumi, after all."
Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand, her previous bitter expression vanishing, and said irritably, "What else could it be? Of course, it's because my junior isn't coming, so Megumi isn't coming either."
"As for Ethics-kun, after seeing that I was the only one there, he slunk away after finishing his meal."
The sound of leg shaking started again.
Kijima Yuta was very suspicious that his senior's perfectly proportioned legs were the result of such training.
"By the way, Machida-san said our autograph session is next Thursday. She said you already knew?" Kijima Yuta thought that Aki Tomoya must have left because he couldn't stand his senior's sharp tongue.
"What?" Kasumigaoka Utaha tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I was so busy with your business yesterday that I forgot. Is that not allowed?"
Yuta Kijima's face darkened: "But Eriri messaged me saying she'll have to take leave and come with me."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback after hearing this.
After a long silence, he muttered to himself, "This guy really is persistent..."
Yuta Kijima thought for a moment and said, "By the way, senior, do you have any comprehensive notes or exam papers for our year?"
He was too lazy to collect them again, since his senior had always been the top student in the grade, he could just use her as a reference.
Oh, and there's Yukino Yukinoshita...
