Chapter 25 – Exam Day
The study sessions on Saturday and Sunday finished without incident and finally it’s Thursday, the day of the exam.
This Thursday featured exams for four subjects, and school would end by noon.
Incidentally, I had also been studying with the two of them, but on the second day, I didn’t study for myself at all and spent the entire time teaching them instead.
Kaoru’s grades are good enough to be in the top 10, but she said she still didn’t understand many things so I decided to teach her.
Also, Kaoru felt a sense of responsibility to teach Kirara as well and was even neglecting her own studies, so I told Kaoru I would teach Kirara too so Kaoru could concentrate on her own studies.
As for Kirara, she studied two subjects on Saturday and two on Sunday, so I thought she would manage to pass all four subjects. She was such a fast learner that it was quite fun to teach her.
At this high school, a failing grade is anything below 50 points. From what I observed, she should manage to scrape by.
I only studied with them for those two days. Starting Monday, with school back in session, we didn’t have much time, so we agreed to study individually at home. As for the other three subjects, I have no idea how Kirara will do… To be honest, she’s terrible at English. In the game, her scores were usually in the single digits, so she’s bound to fail… We didn’t study English together over the weekend, either.
It’s probably hard for anyone to understand English right away, so it’ll take time. After all, she doesn’t have the basics down.
“Still, it’s great if she can avoid failing four subjects.”
Failing all her subjects was normal since middle school, so compared to that, this is a huge improvement for Kirara.
With these thoughts going on in my mind, I headed to school.

——As soon as I got to school, I sat down in my seat.
My classmates were sitting at their desks, cramming by working through exercises or reviewing their notes and textbooks.
Kaoru and Kirara were the same, engrossed in their textbooks in their seats.
As I was looking at Kaoru, she noticed me, gave me a small smile and waved, so I smiled back before she went back to her studies.
I suddenly got curious and took a quick look at Hitomi and Yamazaki, and while Hitomi was, naturally, concentrating on her studies, Yamazaki was asleep even as he put out his textbook.
Well, he must have stayed up all night.
In my previous life, there were also people in high school who stayed up all night right before an exam and dozed off during it…
Incidentally, I’m confident I can get perfect score without studying, but I decided to just take a quick look at the history textbook, which is the first subject.
After about 10 minutes had passed, the teacher supervising the exam came in, the papers were handed out, and the first exam began.
◆
Ding, dong
“Okay, pencils down. Time to submit your papers.”
The time had come to end the last exam of the day for all four subjects, and the teacher in charge of supervising said this as the bell rang.
When the exams were over, the classroom suddenly became noisy.
Some friends were discussing how they did on the exam, some were lamenting that they didn’t do well, some were taking out their workbooks and textbooks to check if their answers were correct, and some just immediately left.
By the way, I finished all four subjects quickly and spent most of the time looking out the window.
Well, this isn’t because I’m smart, but because Ougo Kaito is…
I turned my smartphone on, which I had turned off when the exams started, and a short time later, I got a LINE notification.
When I checked, it was a message from Kaoru.
[Kaito-kun! Kirara-chan’s with me, let’s go home together today!]
She said [today,] but we went home together on Monday and Tuesday as well. The only day we didn’t go home together was yesterday, because Kaoru had something to do.
Well, that doesn’t really matter.
The fact is, I want to go home with Kaoru too.
Thinking that, I replied,
[Sure]
[Then let’s meet at our usual place, a little away from school]
[Yeah. See you later]
I promised to meet up with Kaoru at the place we always meet up.
Soon after, I saw Kaoru leave the classroom with Kirara, so I left the classroom as well.
Meanwhile, I looked over at Yamazaki, who was chatting with a male friend about something game-related.
◆
“Ah! You’re here, Kaito-kun!”
“Hello, Kaito-kun!”
As soon as I arrived at the meeting point, Kaoru and Kirara called out to me.
“Yeah, let’s go home together.”
“Yeah!”
“Yeah.”
Like that, we decided to go home together.
“How did the exam go? Tomorrow, we’ve got more exams.”
“I did pretty well! I might even get into the top 10 for our grade!! There’s still tomorrow, but I think my result for today’s exams should be really good! I even did well in the places Kaito-kun told me about! It’s all thanks to Kaito-kun!”
When I asked her that, Kaoru answered happily.
Well, Kaoru’s grades were pretty good in the game too, and I think she was in 10th place in the first exam no matter which route I took, but… Some developments that weren’t in the game have occurred, so I wonder if it’ll happen…
“I see. That’s good. But Kaoru worked hard at cram school and put a lot of effort into studying, so it’s not because of me, it’s all your own effort.”
“That’s not true! I certainly worked hard, but it’s also thanks to Kaito-kun! That’s for sure!! So, how was it for you, Kirara-chan?”
When Kaoru asked that, Kirara said happily.
“I did a lot better than I thought I would! Well, it was only for the two subjects we studied together… But I think those two subjects might help me avoid failing! I actually feel pretty confident about them! Thanks so much, both of you!”
Of the four subjects today, Kirara studied two with me and Kaoru, and as expected, it seemed like she did well in those two. When I heard that, I was glad that she did well.
“That’s amazing, Kirara-chan! You’re a quick learner!”
“Yeah. You understood what we taught you right away, so it was easy and fun to teach you.”
“I know! I thought the same, Kaito-kun!”
This isn’t to flatter Kirara, it’s the truth.
Kirara probably hadn’t been able to concentrate in class because she was always busy with housework and her part-time job, leaving her tired or fighting off sleep. If she had been able to study properly, she wouldn’t have gotten failing grades… Well, except for subjects like English that require a solid foundation from the start. But for other subjects, she’d be fine for sure.
“Yeah… Thank you so much, you two… Let’s do our best tomorrow too!”
“That’s right! Let’s give it our all!”
“Yeah.”
“So, how did it go, Kaito-kun?”
Kaoru asked.
“Well… yeah, I’d say I did as expected.”
I wasn’t sure how to respond.
I thought it would be a bit much to be humble and say “I did okay,” but on the other hand, I felt bad about honestly saying I thought I would get perfect score because it might dampen the mood of these two, who were celebrating their progress.
“Well, Kaito-kun, you’ll probably be number one again, won’t you?”
“You were the top scorer on the entrance exam, right? That’s seriously amazing.”
“That’d be nice. But like I said earlier, let’s focus on doing our best tomorrow too.”
“Yeah!”
“I will, too! You both helped me so much, I’m going to give it my all!”
After that, the three of us disbanded when we arrived at Kaoru’s house.
