Does gravity make me stronger?

The two parted ways here, but before they were far away, Hachiman noticed out of the corner of his eye that Shoko was standing in front of the station, saying something coldly to a stranger.

Who is it? Is it someone else, a debt collector?

Hachiman only glanced at it before giving up, because the time he had agreed upon with Nagasaki Motoyo was fast approaching.

Chapter 75, Chapter 074: Nagasaki Motoyo: I'm drenched in sweat.

At Saizeriya Restaurant, there were empty seats everywhere because it was still some time before the meal time.

Near the door, a man with dyed yellow hair whispered to his companion, "Hey, look over there, there's a really pretty high school girl."

"This figure doesn't look like a high school student's. How about you add her on the contact list?"

"Weren't we just about to charge?"

As he spoke, he put his phone away and walked over with great interest.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly to get the girl's attention, then said, "Miss, wanna add you as a friend?"

"Excuse me, I'm waiting for someone. My boyfriend will be here soon."

Wearing the Tsukimori school uniform, Nagasaki Motoyo politely declined the friend request, while the blond-haired guy, upon learning that she already had a boyfriend, could only return to his seat dejectedly.

After getting rid of the boy who tried to chat her up, Nagasaki Motoyo rested her chin on her hand and listlessly played with her phone.

Hachiman is so slow, could something have happened to him on the way?

I'm so worried.

Send him a message.

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was about to compose a text message, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that a slightly hunched-over boy was sneaking around outside the glass window of the restaurant before walking into the restaurant with his hands in his pockets.

Her lips immediately curled into a smile, but she still pretended to be annoyed and complained, "Hachigaya-kun, you're late."

"sorry."

Hachiman sincerely apologized.

"Why did you have to come all the way here when you could have just met at Salia, which is near your school?"

Before school ended, Nagasaki Motoyo received a message from Hachiman requesting that the meeting place be changed to another Saizeriya restaurant.

She wasn't completely unaware of Hachiman's intentions; she was simply afraid of being seen by acquaintances and causing unnecessary misunderstandings. But I, a girl, didn't say anything, so why is a guy like you so concerned?

'Oh well, I've known him for a while now, I should get used to his troublesome personality.'

Hachiman, who had already taken his seat, gave a satisfied thumbs-up after opening up his thoughts.

The one who truly understands me is Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Sorry, I was delayed by something on the way."

"This will not be repeated."

"it is good."

After a brief exchange, the two began the main part of the afternoon's activities: learning.

"Hachiman, this is a short science test paper from the first semester of the first year of high school. It contains math and science questions. You can try to do it."

In order to achieve targeted poverty alleviation, Nagasaki Motoyo specially prepared a detailed lesson plan yesterday, and this small test paper was prepared to test Hachiman's science level.

Hachiman took the scroll and casually touched Nagasaki Motoyo's finger without her noticing.

[Synchronization object has been bound]

[Currently syncing with: Motoyo Nagasaki]

[Current synchronization probability: 50%]

Holy crap, 50% synchronization rate! You're good enough to pilot an EVA now!

Suppressing his excitement, Hachiman glanced at the exam paper and exclaimed, "A good paper."

"Really?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked uncertainly.

Tsukinomori is a top-tier high school in Tokyo, so its exam questions are naturally of high quality. While Nagasaki Motoyo wouldn't dare say that their teaching level is better than Shuchiin High School, it's definitely much better than Haneoka Academy.

Therefore, when Hachiman praised Tsuki no Mori's exam paper, he was both pleased and somewhat surprised.

It seems that Hikiya's science grades aren't much worse than others, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to tell how good or bad the test paper is.

"Hikigaya-kun seems very confident."

The pressure is now on Hachiman's side.

Are you confident?

some.

It's just the confidence of getting a zero on a test.

Hachiman glanced at the paper and immediately knew its difficulty. How to describe it? In a word, difficult, damn difficult!

As expected of the Moon Forest test paper, the first question alone made him sweat profusely.

"Then you write it first, call me when you're done. By the way, what would you like to drink?"

"Ice water is fine."

Nagasaki Motoyo got up and went to the vending machine next door to get two drinks. When she came back, she found that Hachiman had already put the pen aside.

"Hey, are you done yet? So fast?"

"It's done."

Under Nagasaki Motoyo's bewildered gaze, Hachiman handed over the scroll.

You finished so quickly, so inviting me out for training was just an excuse, and you actually just wanted to see me?

Thinking this, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the scroll, and then froze.

"Hachiman, why are all the questions blank?"

"First published on 705u.com - Book Club"

"Because I don't know how."

Why not...?

"No means no."

"But the first question is very basic."

"I'm sorry." Hachiman suddenly slammed his head on the table. "Actually, I'm okay at science, but I can only get single digits in math."

"S~"

Nagasaki Motoyo took a deep breath.

Single-digit math? Is this even human?

Hachiman sensed a subtle change in the way Nagasaki Motoyo looked at him.

However, she quickly put on a gentle smile again, and said encouragingly, as if she were talking to a toddler, "It's okay, this is just right. I will do my best to help Hachiman master the science problems."

"Yes, you should keep it up too."

If you don't keep up the good work, my synchronization ability will be wasted.

'Should I try harder too?' Is Hachiman thinking his grades are too bad and he's bothering me? Or does he lack confidence in my teaching?

Nagasaki Motoyo was a little taken aback by these words, so she stammered, "Ah, um, I'll do my best too."

"How about we start with math?"

"it is good!"

Hachiman nodded excitedly, and so, as if the session was on three times the speed, a happy one-on-one tutoring session flashed by.

"No, I just can't learn it..."

Hachiman burst into tears, clutching his head.

This doesn't make sense. She should have been absorbing the knowledge while being guided by Nagasaki Motoyo, so why hasn't the system given any prompts yet?

At that moment, Hachiman suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.

Could it be that she has completely mastered the runes of mathematics and will not make any further progress?

Hachiman's body trembled. If that were the case, wouldn't the person he was binding with be a huge mistake?

To verify his conjecture, Hachiman found a high school math problem online and carefully presented it to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I'm not very good at this."

"Hmm... this seems to be something that will be taught next year, so I don't really understand it either."

"But the teacher said there would be questions like this."

"Hey?"

'Haegoka Academy is so chaotic now?'

'They're already planning to teach second-year material in the first semester of first-year high school?'

If that's the case, then it's understandable that Hikigaya-kun is falling behind.

"May I take a look at this problem?" Nagasaki Motoyo maintained her calm and unhurried smile.

"no problem."

Afterwards, Nagasaki Motoyo copied down the questions, opened her textbook, and began to take careful notes on the draft paper.

A few minutes later.

The system, which had been silent for a while, finally emitted a notification sound.

Chapter 76, Chapter 075: The Battlefield is in Chaos (5K)

[Knowledge already synchronized: Basic trigonometric functions]

[Knowledge already synchronized: Applications of trigonometric functions]

At first, Hachiman didn't understand what abilities the system had synchronized, but the next second, an invisible memory, like Vaseline, effortlessly entered his mind, as naturally as breathing.

No, there's still something off.

Ugh, my head is so itchy, is it because my brain is growing?

At the same time, I could hear Nagasaki Motoyo's slightly heavy breathing.

"I understand now, Hikigaya-kun. Solving this problem definitely requires knowledge from the second year of high school. It's normal that you can't solve it now."

She took a long breath. Previewing the material for the second year of high school wasn't difficult, but she wanted to maintain her image as a top student in front of Hachiman, so she was extra serious.

Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of sweat had formed on her smooth, fair forehead.

"Can I see the process?" Hachiman asked, still processing his memories.

“Okay.” Nagasaki Motoyo handed over the notebook.

With the reverence a Christian has for the Bible, he tremblingly took the notebook and began to read.

Nagasaki Motoyo's solution process is very clear and concise, giving the illusion of looking at a standard answer. In addition, her handwriting is also beautiful and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.

Of course, even if you can understand each word in mathematics, when they are put together, they will still become a mystery.

For example, when Hachiman was doing that short test, there were no unfamiliar words or phrases from beginning to end, but once the questions were put together, he was completely clueless.

But now.

The situation has changed.

What should have been obscure and difficult-to-understand text is now gradually connecting with the knowledge in my mind, and slowly forming a problem-solving approach.

Wait, no way, could it be that I've somehow deciphered the runes of mathematics?

Although he only looked at basic high school level questions, it was incredible that he could come up with the solution for someone who could only score single digits in math.

2. "It seems that's indeed how it's written."

Hachiman's muttering caught Nagasaki Motoyo's attention.

"what?"

What did Hachiman just say? Did he actually know how to solve this problem? But didn't he not even understand what a function was?
