Chapter 58: The End-of-Term Exam
The hectic first semester had ended, and I thought I was finally going to enter summer vacation, but…
“Alright, begin!”
There was an end-of-term exam at school. Only those who passed this exam could look forward to summer vacation.
The first hour was the math II test. Everyone started writing at the same time. I was about three beats late in writing my name on my answer sheet.
To be honest, I had forgotten about the end-of-term exam. Let me be frank. I was so busy that I hadn’t studied at all.
Originally, my academic performance was just above the pass/fail line. If I took the test without any preparation, the outcome was obvious. It wasn’t just about failing; I could even get a flat zero.
I had no favorite or least favorite subjects. That’s why, at the moment, I was in danger of failing all subjects.
I glanced at the questions.
— Hmm, I don’t understand the first question. —
“Excuse me, there’s a correction.”
Ten minutes after the test began, the math teacher, Suzuki-sensei, entered the classroom. There seemed to be a mistake somewhere. Well, I didn’t even notice the mistake.
“The first question has three possible solutions. However, this time, I want you to solve it using the method we learned in the first semester. Therefore, please use the formula I’ve written on the board. Of course, don’t forget to show your work. This is actually a formula I wanted you to remember, but since this was my mistake, I’ll make it a service question. Excuse me.”
It was a formula I had seen before. It seemed I could solve the problem using this formula.
— Well, let’s give it a try. —
If I knew the formula, I could at least keep up. I was finally able to start writing with my pen.

“This is terrible…”
“I never thought it would be this bad…”
“I-I’m sorry…”
I had no choice but to kneel and apologize profusely in front of Aizawa-san and my mother, who were disappointed. Their expressions gradually darkened.
The test was over, and there were only a few more school days left. I was excited about the upcoming summer vacation, but suddenly, I was plunged into the depths of despair.
When I returned home, I was summoned by Aizawa-san and my mother. I had planned to visit Rin and Mirei at the hospital, but they stopped me. The reason was none other than my poor test scores.
“I heard that you’re not good at studying, but getting such a low score is impossible for someone with your abilities…”
Aizawa-san’s face was as pale as her hair color. She was trembling, holding a piece of paper. It seemed to contain my grades. I wondered how they had obtained my scores so quickly after the test, but it wasn’t the right time to ask.
“Perhaps… we should use super-small earpieces for cheating… no, we can still manipulate the scores…”
Aizawa-san began to mutter something frightening. This test must have been really bad. I remembered the teacher saying that students who failed would have to attend summer school. Going to school during the summer break was the worst. I absolutely didn’t want to go…
“Well! It’s okay! We can still work hard from now on!”
Mom tried to comfort me desperately. Mother, wasn’t it your educational philosophy that was quite liberal, that your son couldn’t study?
I had never been told to study. In fact, when I didn’t even touch my homework, you actively encouraged me to skip it, saying, “If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to.”
“I’m sorry…”
This time, I was quite busy with Sarina’s situation. It couldn’t be helped. Yeah, I’ll accept the summer school without complaint.
“Hiro-sama…”
“Yes, yes.”
Aizawa-san explained the seriousness of the matter. Her eyes were serious. I swallowed hard.
“There are so many things I want you to do during the summer break. You can’t afford to go to summer school.”
I felt a sense of freshness as Aizawa-san scolded me properly. I had been pampered lately. I realized that I needed someone to be strict with me.
Rin and Mirei had just sent me a message saying, “Let’s study hard together this summer!” Who told them about my grades?
I thought I could relax during the summer break, but it seemed that wasn’t the case. According to Aizawa-san, the summer break for me wasn’t just about studying, but I’ll somehow manage.
I received my report card from Aizawa-san.

“What is this…?”
“This is not what!”
Aizawa-san’s sharp comment stung my ears. It hurt. And it was dangerous that there was only one score above 40. I’m sure she was deeply disappointed in my lack of academic ability. I’m really sorry.
“Huh? But Hiro-chan. Your score in Math II is high, isn’t it? You avoided failing that subject!”
“Umm… yeah. I guess?”
I didn’t feel like I had solved Math II that well. Maybe I just got lucky.
“You got full marks only on the first question. The point value was 35. That’s why your score is so low, despite the other questions.”
“I’m sorry…”
Math wasn’t about memorization, so I was able to solve it on the spot. I didn’t have enough time to reach the last question, though.
“Hiro-chan, how did you know the answer to the first question?”
There was a correction to the first question in Math II. The teacher had kindly taught us the formula to use as a service question. I thought about how to use the formula and applied it, and by chance, I got the correct answer. Well, it was half luck.
“However, just because you know the formula doesn’t mean you can solve the problem. In fact, the correct answer rate for this question among the class was only 25%. It’s a problem that requires a flash of inspiration.”
“That’s amazing, Hiro-chan!”
My mother praised me, and I felt a little proud. Yeah, maybe I can do it if I try.
“But your other scores are terrible, so let’s study hard.”
I was suddenly brought back to reality, and I could only reply, “Yes.”
