Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Goodnight, Sakura.

Goodnight, senior!

Sakura fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her face.

Emiya Shirou also returned to his room.

Only the boundless starry sky remained, radiating a dazzling light.

————This is a time divider——————

"Shirou, even though you've been gone for so long, I still want to remind you of something."

In the morning, after Shirou Emiya and Sakura had finished making breakfast together after a long time, Fujiwara said this to Shirou with a look of her best effort.

"what happened?"

Emiya Shirou found it a bit strange. Although he had been gone for so long, nothing particularly serious should have happened.

After all, in terms of interpersonal relationships, the closest people to me right now are Sakura, Shinji, and Fujii.

"It seems so, senior. Are you ready?"

Sakura looked at Shirou Emiya with surprise, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"?"

Emiya Shirou looked at Sakura, puzzled.

"I discussed it with the school last night, but it still didn't work out."

Sister Teng shook her head, intending to down the beer in front of her in one gulp.

However, Shirou Emiya snatched the beer from her hand with lightning speed and then went to the refrigerator door.

"Ah! Shirou, beer!!!"

Fujii shouted and lunged at the beer in Shirou Emiya's hand, but Shirou Emiya blocked it with one hand.

Drinking alcohol in the morning is bad for your health.

Emiya Shirou, looking exasperated, put the beer in the refrigerator.

"Today is Sunday, a day off, what's wrong with that!"

Fujimura Taiga sat down in his seat with a helpless expression.

"So, what is it?"

"Hmph! I won't tell you, let Sakura tell you. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I spent so much effort communicating with the school yesterday."

Fujimura Taiga pouted as he finished his breakfast.

"Senior, the exam is next week!"

Sakura didn't hide anything and told Shirou Emiya about the school's arrangements.

"..."

Well, it seems life won't be peaceful even if I come back.

Chapter 292 Life of Poverty - Emiya Shirou

"take an exam!"

Emiya Shirou covered his forehead; he had forgotten, forgotten that he was still in school.

Perhaps it was because so much had happened in the end, and I hadn't been to school for a long time, and I had also found a job.

Shirou Emiya had forgotten that he was actually just a 16-year-old first-year high school student.

"Senior, don't worry. Even though it'll only be a few days, I'll help you!"

Sakura stretched out her hand, clenched her fist tightly, to show that she would definitely help Emiya Shirou.

Thank you, Sakura.

Emiya Shirou knew his own level; he would be lucky to pass this exam.

Although Shana has a wealth of knowledge, it is partly due to her holistic approach to knowledge, encompassing a wide range of topics.

Shana didn't know what she would learn in high school, but the things she was learning included high school knowledge.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya didn't have Shinji's level of academic ability. Even though he studied diligently every day, Shirou Emiya's grades in junior high school were only average.

During the time Shirou Emiya spent with Shana, which was only half a month, he was only able to learn a few basic things.

Not everyone has the photographic memory of Shana. Although Shirou Emiya has excellent eyesight, he can only see further and more accurately.

They do not have the ability to remember everything they see.

However, he might get a high score in world history, since Shirou Emiya did a lot of intensive history study during the Holy Grail War.

perhaps----

Shirou Emiya himself wasn't sure either; all he knew was the history of the Servants from that Holy Grail War, such as King Arthur and Joan of Arc.

Well, it seems there's no point in even thinking about it; Shirou Emiya, who only attended school for one day, is almost guaranteed to fail.

"Let's begin now, senior! Let's immediately step into the ocean of learning!"

Seeing Sakura's enthusiasm, Shirou Emiya could only manage a wry smile.

It wasn't that he didn't want to study, but rather that such intense studying was less appealing than facing off against [Bad Blade] again. Shirou Emiya felt he might still be somewhat good at fighting.

Emiya Shirou admitted that he really couldn't absorb a semester's worth of knowledge in just a few days.

Then------

Even if you can't do it, you still have to do it; it's better than staying at home doing nothing.

After all, Shirou Emiya no longer needs to work during his holidays. His work location has changed, and it's now mandatory. Shirou Emiya doesn't even have the right to refuse.

Despite several days of intense studying and Sakura's meticulous instruction, Emiya Shirou still failed the exam.

Sitting in his seat, looking at the almost passing scores in his hand, Shirou Emiya sighed.

At least the studies I've had these past few days, including those with Shana, haven't been in vain.

Although he only scored so low, Shirou Emiya wasn't too surprised. It was as if he had only studied for a few days and yet his grades were comparable to those who had studied at school for four months.

That's why Shirou Emiya would find it strange.

In reality, Shirou Emiya wasn't the only one in the school who failed his courses.

"Is Emiya-kun there?"

A man dressed in standard college attire, with short purple hair and round-framed glasses, spoke up in the noisy classroom.

The entire classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at the door.

"Yes, yes."

Emiya Shirou quickly stood up in response.

The boy standing at the door slightly pushed his eyes open, and under the light from the window, they reflected a faint white glow, giving him an incredibly cold look.

"The student council needs to see you about something. Could you come to the student council after school?"

The steady voice coming from the boy's mouth gave people a sense of security.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's response, the boy immediately left.

The moment he left, the entire classroom erupted in an extremely intense discussion.

"Is that the student council president? He's so imposing and has such masculine charm!"

"He seems like a gentle and refined person, but I didn't expect him to speak with such authority. I heard he's very strict in the student council."

The heated discussion reached Shirou Emiya's ears word for word. He had no idea why the student council was looking for him, since he hadn't been at school and hadn't had a chance to meet with the student council members.

Okay, Shirou Emiya rubbed his forehead and realized something he had been ignoring: his absence from school must be the reason the student council was looking for him.

Emiya Shirou also realized that his decision not to go to school would cause a lot of reactions.

Fortunately, Fujii-nee works as a teacher at Homurahara Academy and seems to have some influence; otherwise, Shirou Emiya could imagine that he might have already been expelled from the school.

Emiya Shirou had no complaints about these things, as this chain reaction was caused by his not going to school.

There were many things that Fujii had helped him with, and thinking of this, Shirou Emiya once again expressed his gratitude to Fujii.

Time soon came to afternoon.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Please come in!"

Emiya Shirou pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon entering, you'll see a large table made up of four long tables joined together, with chairs neatly arranged around it.

"Sit wherever you like."

A steady voice came from the farthest point, near the white blackboard.

The man who had come to see Shirou Emiya earlier was sitting below the whiteboard, organizing documents, while the whiteboard was covered with the student council's next plans.

Shirou Emiya awkwardly pushed open a chair and sat down.

"I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Ryu Dong Ichisei."

Seeing Shirou Emiya sit down, Kazunari Ryudou quickly stopped what he was doing, adjusted his glasses, and looked in Shirou Emiya's direction.

"You should know why I came to find you."

"Well, it is."

Emiya Shirou scratched the back of his head and replied to Ryudou Kazunari that since he hadn't been to school, the student council would have come looking for him no matter what.

"I heard from Sister Teng that you seem to be having a lot of difficulties working outside. Is that true?"

Ryudou Kazunari lowered his voice as much as possible and spoke to Emiya Shirou in a gentle tone.
