Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Although I want to do my best to avoid this kind of thing during this special time, it’s okay to be a little willful in the initial stage, as long as you pay more attention later............

I decided what to say next.

"Although I promised Ichinose that I would not publicize the fact that [the partner combination issue] has not been resolved, it would be difficult for me to sit back and do nothing when you know this."

"So I said it doesn't matter--"

"Then I will tell the truth."

"No! Using this as a threat is too cunning. Luo Jun has clearly already promised me."

"In that case, let me change the story about Ichinose - ah......"

Before I could finish the sentence, Ichinose quickly used a fork and spoon to scoop out a large piece of cream from the edge of the tiramisu and stuffed it into my mouth.

For a moment, I wasn't sure whether what I tasted on the tip of my tongue was the change in the texture of the tiramisu or some other sweet aroma. In short, the taste was not bad and brought a hint of satisfaction.

However, isn’t the current situation a bit delicate?

"I, I understand, so don't mention it again...... This is the last time."

Ichinose added this while feeling embarrassed.

Although it's not a decisive and coercive command, if I continue to blackmail you in that way next time, I'm sure I'll pay a heavy price.

Besides, compared to this, isn’t the current situation a little more delicate?

I tried my best to eat all the forkful of cream and then freed my tongue from the spork.

"It's better to accept it frankly. After all, the [partner combination problem] can't be solved, and there is no way to save Ichinose from academic troubles. This is all I can do for the rest of the time."

"Also, Himeno has already started preparing. Although it's not necessarily impossible for us to attend the study session together, it would always cause unnecessary trouble if we were to be taken care of, so let's just let us do it on our own."

"Xiaoxue... Has Luo Jun communicated with Xiaoxue yet?"

"Well, because we both want to solve the problem as soon as possible..........."

In the corner of his eye, Ichinose froze as he placed the fork and spoon on the tiramisu.

Although I didn't turn my head, I could feel that I was being stared at.

I turned on the TV in front of me as if nothing had happened, and switched the screen to the channel that broadcast light music. The sound of the melancholy yet uplifting music made me feel that the atmosphere around me had also eased.

"Do you have any questions about checking and deciding on the policy for Luo Jun's studies? Do you need my help?"

"I think there should be no problem. At least Ji Ye seems to care about me."

"Is the tutoring location chosen to be a cafe?"

"Yes, it's that cafe that's very popular among students."

"[Palette] huh?"

"If I'm not mistaken............"

The timbre is a little different from usual. Although the change is not big, you can hear the core temperament if you listen carefully.

I always feel that my body has become a little heavier.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, but it is something to be aware of at least tonight.

"......"

Seeing Ichinose suddenly fall silent, I couldn't help but turn my head with concern.

At this moment, she was staring at the tiramisu in her hand with ulterior motives.

"This cake was bought by Luo Jun for breakfast, right?"

"Let's just say that."

"Why is it temporary? Is there any other meaning?"

"That's possible. I don't have any plans to have dinner, so I might just make do with it."

“I see…”

"Come to think of it, I originally wanted to treat you, but they righteously refused, saying we should pay for our own meals."

I briefly recalled how things had developed in the afternoon, and sure enough, I was still bothered by her final assessment of me as having ill intentions.

"Hmm."

Ichinose nodded, and then the fork and spoon in his hand started moving again.

Although I didn't feel what happened, I always felt that the atmosphere just now was quite dangerous.

"But if possible, I hope Luo Jun can at least attend tomorrow's study session."

“…………Is there any special reason?”

Since I have reached a deal with you, Ichinose will not break it easily.

That is to say, there are some special influencing factors.

"That's right. Didn't I go to the library for an inspection this afternoon after school? Class D also held a study session for this special exam, and I ran into Horikita-san there. She seemed to be troubled by the choice of the library. She would not compete with Class D in this exam, so I agreed to hold a joint study session for Classes AD and AD to help each other."

"Will the students in Class D study with us tomorrow?"

I asked with some concern, and Ichinose noticed my worry.

"That's the case on the surface, but in reality, the reading clubs held by our two classes are just for the purpose of reserving seats. We don't need to care about the learning situation of the other class."

"Ichinose, don't add more trouble to yourself at this time. Even if the other party is a cooperative class, you have to consider the situation carefully."

"Of course I know about this kind of thing... At that time, the students in Class D were very enthusiastic about studying, so I don't think it's a bad thing."

Do you have a strong passion for learning?............It may be necessary to pay attention to how you use your passion.

"So could you come and join us tomorrow as an exception? I'd be happy if you can."

"If it's just once, that's fine."

"Well, Luo Jun just needs to act according to his own ideas."

As long as we were talking face to face, I had no power to resist the requests of this girl in front of me. Or rather, it was the cute expression that Ichinose showed when she made the request.

Maybe this is what is called "people are born to love beauty".

"Now that everything about the study session has been announced... Has Ichinose already started giving the exam questions to Class B?"

"Of course. With only three days left before the final exam, we don't have much time left. The sooner we prepare the test questions and answers, the better."

"Can you tell me the details?"

"sure."

Ichinose put the fork and spoon in her mouth and took a sip. Although I wanted to stop her from doing so, her next words drew my attention back.

"The basic policy is that I, Kanzaki-san, Beppu-san, and Satomi will exchange opinions and create the test questions, but Beppu-san will be the main leader. Although I originally wanted to get more help from others, I really don't want to do some preparation work."

"The more people there are, the greater the risk that the test questions will be leaked to Class B, so I'm troubled."

The test questions and their accompanying solutions are the key points that every class needs to defend, especially when there is a traitor within the class.

Even if you work hard on learning [defense] in time, if [offense] is broken through, you will collapse immediately.

Even if there are unexpected events in your studies, the test questions are something that must not be leaked.

It is conceivable that the other party will come into contact with the traitor within the class in order to gather intelligence.

"Has the right to apply for the exam questions been given to Ichinose?"

"After that conversation with Makoto, I confirmed it with Hoshinomiya-sensei, and he has since denied access to other students. So all that's left is to avoid disclosing the information, and that way [the attack] will be guaranteed to a certain extent."

The course this time is similar to the process at the sports festival.

Just as the participation sheet used in the sports festival is a seat belt, the test questions in the final exam play this role.

Ichinose has already taken precautions against this, so it will be difficult for the traitor to act in this regard.

However, the other party had thought of this and made some adjustments to the partner combination.

What a distressing character.

This thankless method can only work during the examination process. Once the results come out, both the traitor and the method will be exposed in an instant.

I glanced at the piano piece playing on the screen with a look of disdain.

Although I know the various consequences of human hearts, I am most concerned about the practice of testing trust.

Whether you hate it or take advantage of it, I just care.

“Has the bias in the preparation of the test questions been determined?”

"Beppu-san said he would list the key points tonight, so there is no result yet. But it seems like it won't be easy."

"It's not enough to just come up with test questions that are easy to come up with in your mind. It's not easy to come up with difficult questions or tricky questions. If you just casually look up the textbook and create a difficult trap, it won't work as a test question, and the school will reject it."

"I remember that the final decision on whether the issue is true or not is in the hands of the school, right?"

I tried my best to follow Ichinose's thoughts and communicate with him on this boring issue.

"Yes, so it is necessary to know the clear boundary that the school judges as a valid question. Kanzaki-san prepared a few questions close to the bottom line in the afternoon and asked the school to review them. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to get the answers tomorrow and proceed with the next plan."

"So quick............"

"So Luo Jun doesn't need to worry too much about this. Although the actions are different, the overall pace is still the same. Everything is proceeding steadily."

"So, can we just wait for the results of Ichinose's hard work?"

It was just the start of the special exam, but Ichinose had already laid the basics.

"That's right... That's what I said, but we can only expect results in the preparation of [offensive] questions and answers. There are still some difficulties in the [defensive] aspect."

"The question-making part of the students in Class B is an unknown quantity. It is difficult to formulate tendencies and countermeasures. We need to consider all learning factors in the scope of review."

Ichinose is very clear about the points we need to pay attention to in terms of offense and defense.

"............The test questions and countermeasures set by Class B cannot be considered, but what if it is a specific person?"

I tried to provide a solution for Ichinose to solve the problem.

"The tendency of the person who sets the questions? That's one way to go. But who sets the questions for Class B is also a rather troubling thing... Does Luo Jun have any ideas?"

"I don't know. I don't know anyone in Class B. The only names I've heard of are Sakayanagi and Katsuragi... Maybe it would be easier if they were from Class C or D. I think they would be Kaneda and Horikita."

During the special test for survival on an uninhabited island, I spent some time with [Kaneda Satoru] from Class C, and during that time we accidentally learned some information about Class C from him.

He is the best student in class C, and there is also Shiina who doesn't like to get involved in fights.

As for Ryuuen and the others, even if they wanted to create questions about how to be scheming, they would not be able to come up with any test questions if they did not have the corresponding strength.

Imagine using two students who are not good at science to make science questions. The only actions they can take are the traps in the expression of the questions. They will definitely not be able to complete the complex formulas, and it is even possible that they will not even be able to create the previous trap.

"I thought so too. Now I can only be sure that the students in Class B have very good academic performance, comparable to our Class A. Sakayanagi-san is very strong."

Students who are not good at sports will more or less excel in academics.

[When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you.]

What I said is quite appropriate in this case.

"But I believe that everyone has the ability to pass this exam."

Ichinose finished her dessert, temporarily placed the tableware on the wooden table in front of her, and looked at me with a smile.

The combination of firm belief and clear eyes is bound to make people's heart move.

“It’s going to get more rushed after that.”

The music played by the piano beside me became faster at this moment, and at the same time, the sound of rain could be heard outside the window.

"Ichinose should also take care to rest during this period. I don't want Ichinose to miss the final exam due to illness."

"I'll pay attention."

Ichinose said this, and then slowly tried to lean his head on my shoulder, and after getting it, his body slowly relaxed.

After sensing that her body was a little tired, I rejected her action and shifted the position of her shoulders quite a bit. Ichinose also fell down because she lost her support point.

"Huh!?"

I adjusted my position so that Ichinose's head rested on my thighs.

"Why suddenly............"

"Take a break before things get busy."
