If I don't capture the girl, I will die

"It's okay. I'm sure I'll pass! Probably."

Feeling that she was being looked down upon, Honoka retorted subconsciously, and as she spoke, she also let out a lack of confidence and laughed awkwardly.

Sonoda Umi glared at Honoka with eyes as sharp as a razor. "It really doesn't matter. Even if you fail, you can still take the make-up exam. I will teach you well then."

"Do I have to go through this nightmare a second time? It's too cruel!"

Maki couldn't help but complain: "So you yourself think you can't pass the exam..."

For Maki, who has always been at the top of her grade since she was a child, failing an exam is something that only happens in dreams.

But how to say it.

Although her grades are very good, she knows best what she is really like.

Before she met Muse, she was afraid of failure and therefore did not dare to express her true thoughts. She was too embarrassed to even try challenges because she was afraid of her parents’ disapproval.

So she admires the members of Muse.

I really admire those girls who keep moving towards what they want to do and their dreams without thinking about any consequences.

This is completely different from the fact that she continued to practice Muse but was very concerned about the test results.

Hmm, why do I feel a little sad recently?

Looking at the figures walking out of the rooftop entrance, Maki put aside these thoughts, with a smile on her face, and talked to them about the exams like ordinary friends.

……

When I got home, it was almost dark.

Maki didn't care about this and the first thing she did when she got home was to put the comic book on the table, then took off her clothes and took a bath in the bathroom.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Walking under the sun for a long time would make you sweat even if you didn't do any exercise, not to mention that they were doing such intense movements. The feeling of being wet all over was very uncomfortable.

Soaking in hot water of just the right temperature, Maki's pretty face turned white and rosy, her complexion was excellent, and she looked extremely attractive.

I wonder how many points I will get this time?

it should be no problem?

Due to the education her parents gave her since childhood, Maki still cares a lot about her grades.

If I can continue to maintain my top grades, my parents won't say anything even if they find out about me being a school idol.

Maki temporarily covered her head under the water. Well, how should I put it? She knew that it was wrong to lie to her parents.

She didn't mean to deceive her parents.

It’s just that I didn’t know how my parents would react… No, to be more precise, I didn’t dare to tell them because I knew how they would react after knowing this.

Maki, who has always obeyed her parents since she was a child and never rebelled, doesn't know what to do, so she can only escape like an ostrich.

With such a timid mentality, she is indeed a coward.

Maki sighed as her head surfaced and her burgundy hair was completely wet.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

Maki, who didn't want to soak any longer, wiped her body with a towel, wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to find a hair dryer.

After blow-drying her hair and changing into home clothes, Maki sat in front of the computer and opened the campus idol's website.

Muse's ranking has risen to over 20...

Just as that guy expected.

If this continues, there will be no problem at all for me to participate in lovelive.

After not watching it for a few days, Maki was very happy to receive a surprise as soon as she went online.

Now that you are there, you may as well take a look at their videos.

Maki found her headphones and started watching Muse's PV.

Well……

What a shame.

Maki felt embarrassed when she saw herself jumping and dancing on the stage in bold clothes, even though she was alone.

Ah, the action here is wrong too.

Yeah, that doesn’t work either.

Wow, this idiot Honoka made the same mistake in the same dance move twice!

Apart from the feeling of shame, there is also a sense of peace and satisfaction.

Maki watched all their videos with mixed emotions.

The conclusion is that she needs to work harder.

They have to work harder.

After turning off the computer with satisfaction, Maki picked up the music score and pen and walked towards the piano in the room.

She was going to try to compose a song for the Muse first.

……

Perhaps because Ononomoto was on the verge of closing down and there were too few students in the school, the test results came out in less than two days.

"Um, Nishikino-san, could you please come to my office?"

After class, Maki, who was sitting in the window seat in the second to last row, looking out the window and playing with her hair, was suddenly stopped by the teacher.

what's the situation?

Maki blinked in confusion.

Could it be related to the exam?

No way.

Feeling that the eyes of the whole class were focused on her face, Maki subconsciously had a very bad premonition in her heart.

Chapter 313 Leopard Explosion

As a good student with excellent academic performance and good conduct, Maki must be loved by all the teachers.

It wasn't uncommon for me to be called into the teacher's office, but the number of times was rare. Not to mention at this critical moment.

After Maki's figure disappeared at the door, the whole classroom began to whisper.

Rin and Hanayo, first-year students in the same class as Maki, are no exception.

After all, as the eldest daughter, Maki is very popular in the entire grade with her outstanding temperament and appearance.

"Rin-chan, what do you think the teacher wants to see Maki about?" Hanayo, who was wearing rather old-fashioned glasses and looked very quiet, asked Rin, who was sitting behind her, in a low voice.

"I don't know either, nyan. But it must be just some small things, it's okay. Because she's Maki-chan, okay?"

In response to her friend's gentle words, Rin squinted her eyes and smiled, then patted her chest to comfort her.

"That's right."

Thinking back on Maki's behavior and other people's comments about her, Koizumi Hanayo felt that she was overthinking it, so she put her mind at ease and changed the topic of conversation with Rin.

The staff office of Otono wooden board.

Maki was not overly flustered when she was called to the office.

She raised her head and looked at the teacher sitting in the chair in front of her, and asked, "Teacher, what can I do for you?"

"Um... Nishikino-san, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

The teacher spoke gently to Maki.

The words revealed a genuine concern.

Facing the teacher's roundabout way, Maki pursed her lips in confusion and subconsciously placed her fingers on the ends of her hair, "Hit? No?"

Since joining Muse, she no longer feels unwell. On the contrary, her daily exercise has made her healthier than before.

I even ate a lot more than usual.

Her mother even teased her about it.

Hearing this, the teacher smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else. She took out two test papers that were placed very conspicuously on the table and handed them to Maki.

"This is the test paper that will be sent out soon. Nishikino-san, please take a look. If you really feel uncomfortable, remember to tell the teacher at any time. Studying too hard can sometimes backfire."

Apparently, the teacher still held on to the idea that Maki had been feeling unwell lately.

It turned out to be because of the exam.

Maki, who had a bad feeling in her heart that was getting worse, took the test paper. Without having time to think about why the teacher said that, she skillfully found the place where the score was marked on the top.

suffer……

real or fake……

English: 64 points.

Mathematics 77 points.

Maki's expression was stunned, and she almost suspected that she was seeing things.

Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, blood rushed to her cheeks, and her mouth felt dry.

She instantly understood what the teacher meant by those seemingly incomprehensible words just now.

Even she herself suspected that there was something wrong with her body - otherwise how could she get such a low score.

This is the first time ever!

Really, she would rather not have this kind of first time.

Hopefully, Maki set her eyes on the small space on the test paper where she wrote her name.

Nothing wrong.

It must be admitted that after entering high school, the workload became heavier than before. Moreover, she joined Muse, which resulted in a significant reduction in the time spent on study. Compared with study, she cares more about dance moves, music composition, and lovelive. Oh, by the way, even if she has free time, she is full of fatigue to read comics and can't get motivated to study.

This is true.

In the past, Maki always consoled herself by saying, "I've worked so hard, it's okay to take a break from time to time, right?"

Because she has never experienced a drop in grades.

But that's not a reason.

Is it because I have been too lazy?

Maki sighed in despair. She didn't hear a word the teacher said and even forgot how she walked back to the classroom.

Although I had a vague feeling that this exam would be a little difficult when I was writing the test paper, I didn't expect it to be this bad...

I almost failed the English test.

What should I do about this?

Maki checked the test paper over and over again in an anxious manner. In fact, she knew where her problems were just after looking at it once.

Not long after she came back, the remaining test papers were distributed.

Although her performance in other subjects declined a bit, her foundation was still there and overall there wasn't much change.

This gave Maki some comfort.

It would be better if I could spend more time on studying.

Of course, it's too late to say this now, she can't go back to the past.

Maki stuffed the test paper back into the table in annoyance, out of sight, out of mind.

How should I tell my parents when I get home...

Maki is now like an elementary school student who has failed an exam. She is very afraid to go home and face her parents' disappointed eyes and harsh lectures.

Or try to hide it secretly?

No.

As soon as this idea came to Maki's mind, she rejected it. She felt guilty for hiding her grades from her parents and becoming a school idol.
