"Well, Yuigahama-san, she just wanted to thank you for saving her when school started. But she didn't plan to confess to you. So, did you misunderstand?" Hasegawa Kenichi said strangely.
"Huh? Huh?" Hikigaya Hachiman's face flushed, and he was full of embarrassment. He felt that he was too ashamed. He didn't understand anything, but he thought that the other party confessed to him. He even said something to refuse. Now think about it, it's really too ashamed and embarrassing.
After knowing what happened, Hikigaya Hachiman expressed that he accepted Yuigahama Yui's thanks, turned around and left with a wooden face, but the speed of leaving was a bit fast, and the back looked a bit embarrassed.
But finally this matter is over, and the stone in Yuigahama Yui's heart has been put down.
But Hikigaya Hachiman, how to say it, is still quite awkward. The whole person returned to his previous state, as if he had built a wall to completely separate himself from others.
…
"Dear students, it has been a month since the start of school, so next, we will have an exam to see everyone's status and learning situation in the past month, so that everyone can have a certain understanding of their own grades..." Hiratsuka Shizuka stood on the podium and announced this news, which was undoubtedly no different from a bolt from the blue for most students.
"Huh? Exam?"
"No way? There is still an exam?"
"Oh no, I haven't studied much since entering high school."
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
"Why do I have to take an exam?"
"Hehe, exams are easy for me."
"I'll get a good grade and show you."
The students had all kinds of reactions, but most of them looked frustrated, and they were obviously quite resistant to exams.
Hasegawa Kenichi didn't really care about exams. After all, in the month after entering high school, although he still wrote novels and practiced kendo every day, he occasionally practiced or learned other things. But he was more serious about studying in class, especially with the existence of the system. So exams were not difficult for Hasegawa Kenichi. It's just that he hadn't experienced exams for a long time. Now that he started taking exams again, he actually felt a little fresh or novel.
The exam process was relatively easy for Hasegawa Kenichi, and even felt easier than usual classes. When the test papers were handed out, he just filled them in. They were all knowledge that he had learned and mastered. So after the exam, Hasegawa Kenichi looked relaxed.
But after school, Yuigahama Yui, who went home with Hasegawa Kenichi, looked uglier, and her whole person seemed to become gray all of a sudden. Looking at Yuigahama Yui like this, Hasegawa Kenichi could only shake his head.
"Yuigahama, you don't look like you did well in the exam?"
"Of course, exams are the most annoying thing. Why do we have to take exams? It's fine to just go to school. We are implementing a relaxed and happy education. Why do we have to take exams? Isn't this depriving students of their relaxation and happiness? Things like exams must be resisted, resisted, resisted." Yuigahama Yui's face was filled with resentment, and the whole person was like a ghost, as if she had lost all her strength.
Looking at Yuigahama Yui like this, Hasegawa Kenichi laughed instead, thinking that her current appearance was very interesting.
"This is also to let students know how much they have mastered the knowledge, so that they can set goals and plans more accurately. Only by knowing where they are lacking can they improve and then improve their academic performance." Hasegawa Kenichi said calmly.
"Ahhh, no. Exams are the most annoying thing. It's enough to just wait until the final college entrance exam to take an exam. Just like before, I didn't do well in junior high school, but I still managed to get into Sobu High School." Yuigahama Yui shouted loudly. This was probably the loudest she had ever spoken since she entered school. After she finished speaking, she reacted and her face turned red.
And Hasegawa Kenichi now understood that Yuigahama Yui was a fool in studying. Even if she hadn't performed very well in the previous junior high school entrance exam, she might not even be able to get into the current high school. Seeing how much Yuigahama Yui hated exams, Hasegawa Kenichi decided not to talk about exams anymore, at least to make her happy for two days. After all, it would be Monday in two days, and when the results were announced, she might collapse when she saw her own results.
...
Taking out his wallet and looking at the thin pieces of paper in it, Hasegawa Kenichi frowned. He was almost out of money. Although the novel has been confirmed to be published and may even be about to start printing, if he wants to really get the money, he has to wait until the novel really starts selling.
"So, should I go to work and make some money first?" Hasegawa Kenichi pondered: "However, although there is not much money now, it seems that saving a little is enough. After all, my own expenses are not large. As long as I don't buy anything, it is enough." Hasegawa Kenichi thought about it and decided not to work part-time.
After all, on weekends, he can practice skills such as singing and painting that he rarely practices because of school. Even if it is kendo, he can extend the practice time a little.
Thinking of this, Hasegawa Kenichi put away his wallet and began to practice painting to improve his painting proficiency. He really wanted to draw a few illustrations for his novel, especially the characters he liked in the novel. Although the publisher will find an illustrator and even ask the author for his opinion on whether to make any changes. However, I always feel that if I like a character, it would be better if I draw it myself.
