I was the real villain in the real teaching.

"To be honest, I don't want to see anyone in the class drop out because of failing, and studying hard can not only prevent dropouts, but may also be related to the increase of points." Hirata Yosuke looked at Sudo inexplicably, "If the class can maintain high scores, the evaluation will definitely get better, so I plan to find a few students with excellent academic ability to prepare for this exam together. Students who feel insecure about themselves can also participate. Let's work hard together."

Sudo sneered and then looked away.

The two of them seemed to have an unfriendly relationship. When Hirata Yosuke proposed to introduce himself, it was Sudo who expressed his opposition.

Tsukishiro Takuma just felt that they were all very naive, whether it was Hirata Yosuke or Sudo.

Later, some people responded to Hirata Yosuke's study session. After all, he was a well-known handsome guy in the class, so what he said would naturally have appeal.

He was not interested in this and was about to go out to eat, but soon he heard footsteps behind him.

Is it Ayanokouji Kiyoko again?

"Why haven't you taken action yet?"

Well, the voice turned out to be Horikita Suzune.

"What action?"

"Chabashira-sensei said that you have strong execution ability. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have to admit that you are indeed active in places I can't see." Horikita Suzune followed closely behind him, "I watched your event. The idea is good, but it's too bad. You should find a smart partner."

As first-year students know about the S system and some school rules, the amount of money charged for the quiz with prizes has dropped a lot, and only some senior students are still interested.

This situation almost drove Saito Odagiri crazy. If Tsukishiro Takuma hadn't comforted him, he would have probably become autistic.

"It's just a small game that is not worth playing." Tsukishiro Takuma said indifferently.

Horikita Suzune found herself gradually falling behind him by a few steps, and could not help but jog to catch up, saying, "But the fact that you can do this in a short time is enough to prove your excellence. You should have heard what Hirata-kun said just now, right?"

"It's a genius ideal. I doubt he can create a Utopia that belongs to him alone."

"…What do you mean? Do you have a better idea?"

"No, but wouldn't it be better to let the poor students fend for themselves? There's no point in keeping them around anyway, and they might even lose all their points in the future."

Horikita Suzune paused for a moment, but quickly caught up with Tsukishiro Takuma.

"If we leave it alone, Sudou-kun and the others will definitely drop out. I don't deny the fact that they are students who are difficult to save, but this midterm exam is likely to be an assessment, otherwise there wouldn't be such a severe punishment as expulsion if they fail."

There was some truth in what he said, and Tsukishiro Takuma couldn't help but look back at her.

"Has Ayanokouji-san talked to you about this?"

"I plan to go to her dorm tonight to discuss it. But why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just a little surprised."

"Do you think I won't care about those poor students? Tsukishiro-kun, I remember I told you that you must be promoted to Class A no matter what, so before that, put everything else aside."

Tsukishiro Takuma understood what she meant, then quickened his pace and walked towards the cafeteria.

"Wait, wait a minute, are you running away!?" Horikita Suzune was dumbfounded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your next sentence will be to ask me for something. For that matter, you might as well go to Ayanokouji-san. I don't think she will refuse."

"In exchange for the exchange, I will be responsible for guiding you in your studies."

"Is this study guide just for me, or does it also apply to everyone else?" Tsukishiro Takuma sneered, "I won't share the same thing with others. It's better not to have it in the first place."

"..."

Horikita Suzune fell into silence. She looked at Tsukishiro Takuma's receding figure and pressed her temples as if she had a headache.

She felt that she couldn't control Tsukishiro Takuma. No, to be more precise, she didn't even know what this guy was thinking.

Let's go back and look for Ayanokouji Kiyoko. She has a very good relationship with Tsukishiro Takuma, and seems to be a person with hidden strength. Maybe she can be of help.

So, next, Horikita Suzune went to find Ayanokouji Kiyoko that night.

As expected, she did not refuse Horikita Suzune's proposal, and she even took the initiative to say that she would drag Tsukishiro Takuma into the deal.

As for how to do it, she didn't say.

However, the two chatted for a while and planned to hold a study session as well, and then tutor the poor students who did not join the study session led by Hirata Yosuke, especially Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi.

Originally, this negotiation work was to be handled by Tsukishiro Takuma, who is also a boy, but he has not joined yet, so Ayanokouji Kiyoko had to ask for help from Kushida Kikyo, who has good interpersonal relationships.

Of course, Kushida Kikyo agreed readily, and she also wanted to join Horikita Suzune's study session.

The latter reluctantly agreed with her idea and told Ayanokouji Kiyoko not to make decisions on her own next time, but to at least discuss it with her.

Therefore, Tsukishiro Takuma saw Horikita Suzune and the others studying in the library the next day.

Four girls and three boys... No, that cute girl seemed to be a boy, a Hideyoshi character named Okitani. Her cute appearance was so attractive that Tsukishiro Takuma almost ignored her gender and wanted to chat with her.

"Are those people Tsukishiro-kun's classmates?"

A girl's voice was heard from the side, and when I turned around, it was Shiina Hiyori from Class C.

"Yes, but don't worry about them." Tsukishiro Takuma looked at her with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I always forget to return your books."

When they first met, he and Shiina Hiyori agreed on a time to return the book, but because he was too engrossed in playing chess, he completely forgot about it.

If Takuma Tsukishiro hadn't discovered a novel by Lawrence Block when he finished reading the comics last night, he would probably not have remembered it until he saw a revolving lantern before he died.

"I have to commit seppuku to apologize to Shiina-san."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

042 The study session ended unhappily

Shiina Hiyori is a well-behaved and lovely child.

She sat quietly in a corner of the library, holding a novel by Ellery Queen in her hands. Her serious look was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun that filtered in from outside the curtains. The tall bookshelves cast a faint shadow. Time flowed quietly on her, but she was unaware of it.

Everything was quiet and still; she was the flower crown goddess in Tsukishiro Takuma's eyes.

"Tsukishiro-kun, your gaze is a bit concerning, isn't it?"

When Tsukishiro Takuma came to his senses, he was already sitting opposite Shiina Hiyori.

"Nothing, I just think Shiina-san is still the same. It seems that he likes mystery novels very much."

"Well, because I like it."

She smiled from the bottom of her heart. It was probably not to the extent of "like" very much, but rather "really like" reading mystery novels.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot about the promise to return the book." For some reason, Takuma Tsukishiro apologized again.

"I've already told you it doesn't matter, but Tsukishiro-san should have read the book carefully, right?" Shiina Hiyori seemed to want to hear his thoughts after reading the book, and her expectant eyes stared at him.

Ahahaha, what should I do at this time?

"Sorry, I fell asleep after reading only page 24."

"Tsukishiro-kun...death penalty."

Oops, how did the seniors handle this situation?

Let’s try the universal rhetoric first.

"The plot is very interesting. To be honest, I didn't expect it to unfold that way at all."

"That's great. I thought you wouldn't like that style, Tsukishiro-san."

“The author’s writing style is a bit cold, but it is very stylish and unexpectedly interesting.”

"That makes me feel relieved... Hey, I have other novels by Lawrence Block here, also from the Matthew series, "Sins of the Father" and "The Time of Murder and Creation". Would you like to read them, Tsukishiro?"

Faced with her happy look, Tsukishiro Takuma found it difficult to find a reason to refuse, so he simply agreed.

Then, the two chatted a lot.

Many times, it was Shiina Hiyori who took the initiative to share the plot and feelings of a certain book, and Tsukishiro Takuma would follow her words from time to time.

However, while they were having a happy chat, a small accident happened on Horikita Suzune's side.

"What is this simultaneous equation?"

"You don't even know this? Honestly, even a middle school student could solve this problem using other methods."

"No, I give up. How can I continue with this?"

The noise over there was a little loud, and Tsukishiro Takuma couldn't help but look over, only to see Horikita Suzune crossing her arms over her chest, looking coldly at Sudo, Ike and the others, while Kushida Kikyo was trying to dissuade them.

"Wait, wait a minute. If you work a little harder, you can solve the problem. As long as you understand the steps, it will be fine."

"Since Kushida-chan said so, it's not that we can't work hard... It would be great if Kushida-chan could teach us."

Kushida Kikyo looked at Horikita Suzune who remained silent, then looked at Sudo, and then she made up her mind, picked up a pencil and started writing and drawing on the paper.

"You see, just apply the formula like this, and then like this again, and you'll be able to solve it in the end."

"I don't understand. What does this mean? Why did you get the answer so quickly?"

Even Kushida Kikyo fell silent. This was no longer something that could be solved within the scope of reviewing for the exam.

"Although I have not denied your plan, you are too ignorant and incompetent."

Horikita Suzune finally started to speak out. Her cold voice was quickly striking the hearts of several poor students. There was clearly no trace of ridicule in her expression, but it was that expression of pure contempt that was the most infuriating.

"It's so noisy, it has nothing to do with you!"

"It really has nothing to do with me. No matter how much pain you are in, it has no effect on me. I just feel pity for you. You must have been avoiding painful things in your life so far, right?"

"You guy!"

Sudo was furious. He slammed the table so hard that veins popped out on his forehead.

Horikita Suzune in front of him showed no fear at all and stared at him calmly.

At this moment, Tsukishiro Takuma noticed the gazes from the side.

"Those people are students from Class D, right? Won't Tsukishiro go and try to persuade them?" Shiina Hiyori asked worriedly.

Tsukishiro Takuma shook his head: "No, they will take care of it themselves soon."

"Eh?" Shiina Hiyori asked as if she was concerned, "Tsukishiro-san doesn't care about class matters?"

"Isn't it the same for you? You are obviously from Class C, but now you are talking and laughing with me. Aren't you afraid that people in your class will see you?" Tsukishiro Takuma asked back.

Now every class understands the nature of this school. In this environment of survival of the fittest, different classes are enemies.

If every student does not contribute to the class, he will die with the class. It can be said that this is a relationship of loss today and gain tomorrow.

Shiina Hiyori looked at him, then turned her eyes away slightly and whispered, "If we're just making friends... it doesn't matter if we're not in the same class."

Indeed, if you are not even allowed to make friends, it would be worse than being in prison.

"Since Shiina-san doesn't care, I don't care either."

"…It would be nice if Tsukishiro-san was also in Class C."

She seemed to complain in a very low voice, but it was not very clear.

"By the way, does Tsukishiro have any points left?" Shiina Hiyori suddenly asked.

"There are still a lot of points. What's wrong?"

"I was thinking that Class D had zero points this month, so I was worried that you might have difficulties in life."

It seems that everyone is aware of Class D's pitiful situation.

However, it was actually a god who would take the initiative to lend points. Even Ayanokouji had to rely on him for hints before he could understand what he meant.

"It's okay for now. I still have a lot of points left from last month. By the way, Shiina-san, have you ever thought about being promoted to Class A?"

"I'm not interested in that kind of competition. I'm satisfied as long as I have books to read."

This is really the standard answer of a literary girl.

Then, Shiina Hiyori seemed to add: "But there are many students in the class who want to be promoted to Class A, such as Ryuen."

Ryuen-san?
