The first day of the High School division exams, the first subject—as the bell rang, the students of Shuchiin picked up their pens and paper one after another, charging towards the extra credits.
The examination room is a battlefield! And for the first subject, the National Language exam, Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but smile after looking at those few questions.
It seems God is helping me! Perhaps in terms of thinking, he cannot compare to Uchiha Ryo, but relying on multiple extracurricular exams and practice with various exercise books... Shirogane Miyuki believed his knowledge reserve had long surpassed everyone in the entire grade.
Although it is impossible for original questions that have already been tested to appear in this kind of final exam, as long as the articles are similar, many desirable answers emerge in his mind!
Shirogane Miyuki read quickly. His rapidly spinning brain seemed to read the mind of the question setter. It seemed this exam was not simple. Even though it was just Shuchiin's final exam, the difficulty was comparable to the national exam.
Obviously, the principal didn't want too many people to get the so-called credits... But whether it was Shirogane Miyuki or the top six in the grade, they were not the kind of geniuses who could be easily stumped by the questions.
Everyone was writing furiously, while Fujiwara Chika in the next examination room was shivering. Although she was dragged by Shinomiya Kaguya to forcibly review for a few days, this level was completely not enough!
What to do... If I drop out of the top one hundred, Dad will deduct my pocket money. Although Grandpa will secretly give me some, if I drop too drastically, I'm afraid Grandpa will also be angry.
Fujiwara Chika's emotions almost represented sixty percent of the students in Shuchiin's High School division. They were surprised to find out why these questions had become so difficult!
The study wave stirred up by the principal only lasted for a month. In other words, for those with average academic performance, even if they worked hard for a month, it was unlikely they would improve much.
Therefore, the expressions of these sixty percent of students in the middle tier of grades were all somewhat unnatural.
As for the remaining forty percent, half of them were lower-tier students who directly gave up, and the other half were top students like Shirogane Miyuki who were charging madly.
As the first subject exam ended, Shirogane Miyuki revealed a smile. "Uchiha, what do you think?"
"Me? I'm okay. I wrote the answers on the scratch paper, do you need to check them against yours?"
Scratch paper is distributed for all exams, whether arts or sciences, and it does not need to be collected. This also led to many students going to their friends to check answers immediately after the exam.
Then there would be a burst of wailing or cheering. Shirogane Miyuki really wanted to check; after all, he was confident in himself. But just in case...
"Forget it, let's wait until all the exams are over."
If he really had a misunderstanding somewhere and got it wrong, it would definitely affect his mood for the subsequent exams, so it's better to finish all the exams in one go!
A depressive atmosphere spread throughout the school. It seemed that starting from the second subject, the mood of most students began to become anxious.
Is the principal crazy! Why give such difficult questions, and not even notify us in advance...
Students who, like Shirogane Miyuki, had participated in the High School division's full-year mock exams expressed that these questions were not something ordinary people could come into contact with at all. Even some of the big questions at the end of the paper were competition-style questions!
The first day of exams ended. Uchiha Ryo followed the silent Yukinoshita and Chitanda back to the apartment.
"Welcome back! Ryo-oniichan, Yukino-oneechan and Eru-oneechan!"
Hana is still as cute as ever! Uchiha Ryo smiled. He nodded to Hana as usual, and then went to the kitchen to get some snacks.
"How was the final exam?"
Tsurumi Rumi helped take their bags and then took out the test papers from inside.
The middle school exams were finished two weeks ago, and the scores should be out in these two days. Rumi wasn't worried. As for Hana and the others, they probably had no exam pressure at all.
"Um... these questions really give people a headache."
Tsurumi Rumi frowned. She had probably previewed the knowledge points of the first year of high school, but after getting the test paper from Yukino's hand, she also felt a faint headache.
Yukinoshita sighed. "I don't know why, but the principal probably increased the difficulty of this exam several times. Setting aside the ranking, my score should be much lower than the midterm."
Chitanda Eru slumped on the sofa. "This is terrible, I'm about the same... It seems the top three still won't change... I saw that your expressions didn't change at all after the exam."
Uchiha Ryo, Shirogane Miyuki, and Shinomiya Kaguya were just like normal after the exam, as if the difficult questions didn't affect them at all.
"Ryo-kun, are you confident in this exam?"
Uchiha Ryo, who was eating pastries with Hana, turned his head to look at Chitanda after hearing the question.
"Me... It should be about the same as last time."
"About the same as last time... Doesn't that mean it's close to a perfect score again!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up. "I say, you guys, have you been infected by Shirogane or Shinomiya-san recently? Although grades are very important, you don't have to take them too much to heart."
"Your futures don't depend on these grades. Just take the exams with peace of mind, and then get ready to go out and play, isn't that good!"
Coming to the front of the sofa, Uchiha Ryo reached out and pressed his hands on top of both of their heads.
"If you are very tired, just act spoiled. I am very susceptible to this. Have you ever seen me refuse Hana's requests?"
Yukinoshita, whose head was suddenly patted, lowered her head, "Then can I ask you to do anything?"
"Of course, but I'm not someone who only makes selfless contributions. If you want me to do something, you also need to pay a little return~"
On the other side, Chitanda directly tilted her head up and placed Uchiha Ryo's hand, which was patting her head, onto her own cheek.
"Then let's go play at my place for two days after the exams, just consider it relaxation." Chitanda Eru indicated that she couldn't keep staying at Yukino's place forever, it was time for everyone to go to her place too.
"Of course!" Uchiha Ryo nodded.
Chitanda smiled. "Then what is the return Ryo-kun wants?"
"Um... Then let me touch for a little while longer."
Uchiha Ryo's hands remained on Chitanda's smooth cheek and the soft top of Yukinoshita's head. Although they really wanted to refuse this small return, they unanimously chose to remain silent.
On the other side of the living room, Shirosaki Hana, eating snacks, turned to look at Tsurumi Rumi.
"Hey, Rumi, what are Ryo-oniichan and the others doing?"
Tsurumi Rumi thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "Just like in the game, patting the head and touching the cheek will increase intimacy, right?"
"???"
Uchiha Ryo immediately retracted his hands.
"Cough cough, Rumi, what game are you talking about?! Why are you even playing games! At your age, you should focus on reading books."
Tsurumi Rumi tilted her head. "Isn't it from Ryo-oniichan's computer? I saw it when I went to your place to look up information."
My computer? Uchiha Ryo didn't remember installing this kind of game on his computer... Wait a minute! He hadn't played much recently, because a certain cat needed to live stream.
Good, good, good! Good on you, Enyun-chan, you don't know how to hide a game after downloading it, right! To actually let Rumi find it. Just wait until I get back to see how I'll deal with you!
