At this time, the "normative group" consisted only of Miura, Hayama, and others, as Yui Yuigahama was still forced to immerse herself in Su Qing's "If you're bad, practice more."
At this moment, Ebina was talking about the pair of trainees from the previous night, while Miura and the others were complaining about the school.
"Ugh, another exam? It's so annoying to have exams every day. I was thinking of trying the new dessert shop that opened nearby these days."
"Go after the exam, I should have time," Hayama comforted Miura with a smile.
"Really? Yay!" Miura didn't hesitate to hide his excitement, then glanced at the person he hated—Su Qing.
Tsk, this guy is getting more and more annoying the more I look at him. Miura pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
However, when the Minister of Revenue saw Miura like this, he followed the gaze and recalled the fear he had felt when Su Qing dominated him last time.
However, Hubu actually admired Su Qing quite a bit, feeling that the other party was super handsome, not just in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament, which even Ye Shan could not compare to.
"I wonder how the transfer student's grades are," Hu Bu Xiao Xiao sighed. The other person is already handsome and athletic; if he also has good grades, he'll probably have a lot of female admirers.
"Tsk, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to our Hayato~ You agree, right?"
Miura Yumiko first expressed her disdain for Su Qing, and then looked at Hayama with affection.
Hayama, however, was clearly very experienced. He simply smiled and responded to Miura, neither refusing nor accepting, before laughing.
"My grades aren't very good either, but Su Qing might have excellent grades."
"Hahaha, Yeshan, don't give me that. You're in the top five, right? If your grades weren't good, we'd all have to go back to farming."
"It's third, third!"
Yumiko Miura repeated, then added with a hint of indignation.
"Seriously, the first two are monsters. If it weren't for them, Hayato would be number one. It's good to have talent."
"So Miura-kun is a natural talent type." The voice didn't belong to anyone in the popular group. Miura turned around alertly, and his expression changed instantly.
"What, does the transfer student have a problem with this?"
"I don't have any opinions. I just don't know how Miura's grades are."
"None of your business?" Miura's grades were far from outstanding, so he was naturally a little angry when they were mentioned now.
"Looks like your grades aren't doing too well," Su Qing remarked, then shrugged and said.
"Does this mean that Miura lacks talent? Oh, of course, it could also be that our Miura isn't working hard enough. Otherwise, with a little effort, he could easily be in the top ten."
"What exactly are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that those two people put in far more effort than I have?"
Even if Miura is naive, he can understand what Su Qing is trying to express now that she's said this.
"According to you, they should be much smarter than you?"
Su Qing sounded unsure, but no matter how others listened, something didn't seem right.
"Are you saying I'm stupid?" Miura stood up, not bothering to lower his voice, which drew the attention of many students during lunch break.
"Arno... Xiaoqing didn't mean any harm." Yui saw that Su Qing seemed to be in danger and quickly ran over to smooth things over.
"Yes, let's all get along well. There's no such thing as who's smarter or dumber. It's all about who gets the highest score in the General Staff."
Ye Shan, not wanting things to escalate further, spoke up to offer advice.
"Yui, are you on the transfer student's side?" Miura asked.
"I...I also think what you said wasn't very good..."
Yui Yuigahama took a deep breath and, although her speech was not fluent, she still managed to express her thoughts.
Even though she was facing Yumiko Miura, a popular girl in the class, and she used to only be able to agree with her, she had Kiyoshi behind her, and she had made up her mind that she could no longer act like before.
So... so I'm going to say it!
Yui shouted inwardly, but her hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt betrayed her nervousness.
"Okay, okay, what should I do? Do I need to apologize to both of them?"
When Yui Yui actually took a clear side this time and even dared to express her opinion, Miura Yumiko was both happy for her and a little angry because she was on the opposite side!
"Hey? That's a great idea, Miura-kun, you're really smart."
Su Qing seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked at Miura Yumiko with admiring eyes, but Miura thought that look was just mockery.
"Ha, why should I apologize to them?" Miura said arrogantly, his arms crossed.
"How about we make a bet? If I lose, I'll apologize to you; if I win, you apologize to them. How about that?"
Su Qing quietly grasped one of Yui's soft hands and gently held it in his palm. In that instant, he could clearly feel the slight sweat seeping from her fingertips due to nervousness.
Su Qing then smiled warmly, gently pulled her to her side and behind him, and patted Yui's delicate hand a few times with her other hand to indicate that she didn't need to worry.
"What bet?"
Miura was clearly intrigued and asked a question.
"How about we compare who gets better grades on this exam?"
Miura didn't rush to answer, but pondered for a moment before replying with a smile.
"Okay, let's compete in this! But you're not competing against me. I'll have Hayato Hayama compete for me. Are you in?"
"Yumiko, this..."
Hayato Hayama hesitated. After all, this was a bet between her and Su Qing. How could he interfere? Besides, he was only third place, so it would be too much of a bully to others.
"Hayato, please." Miura shook Hayama's arm and looked at Hayama with pleading eyes.
"So, what does Su Qing think?" Ye Shan couldn't refuse, but felt he should ask Su Qing's opinion first, so he turned his gaze to Su Qing.
"Sure, anyone is fine, as long as you can guarantee that Miura will keep his bet."
When Su Qing proposed the bet, he already knew that Miura would ask Hayama to "play in his place".
However, he clearly didn't care.
Well, it doesn't really matter who comes.
"Hmph, I won't go back on my word, so it's a deal. I hope it's not you, the transfer student, who'll be the one backing out later."
When Miura saw that Su Qing had agreed, she felt a sense of accomplishment. In her opinion, Su Qing must not know that Hayama was the third in the grade. Otherwise, apart from Yukinoshita and Shiina, who would dare to guarantee that they could beat Hayama?
This time, we're guaranteed to win!
Chapter 76 The Fool Was Actually Su Qing Himself
The joint entrance examination for the three schools lasted for three days, from Wednesday morning to Friday afternoon.
Normally, regular monthly exams should be internal school exams and wouldn't involve large-scale joint exams like the three-school joint exam. But this situation has arisen, and it's hard to imagine the mental state of those school leaders.
Perhaps the students' overall level has declined significantly, and this decision was made under pressure.
But for the top students at Tokyo's top three universities, there isn't much difference between the joint entrance exam and regular exams.
The second-year classes, including the elite J class, remained peaceful and harmonious, showcasing the academic prowess of top students.
"Damn, who can read through a question with hundreds of words? Am I being tested on physics or history?"
"Speaking of physics, is there a C in the last multiple-choice question? I feel like I can get some points that way."
"Hey, ABD, bro."
"6"
"What's the answer to that spatial geometry problem? What kind of calculation did I get?"
"What if I said that my calculation was (√779+18)/7?"
"This is outrageous! I have the same question. Is it even possible to get the square root of this? I'm going to fire the person who set the question."
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, what a satisfying and exhilarating experience."
"So Ge Jun from the mainland has come here to set questions, right?"
“Let’s talk about Ge Jun in detail.”
"Oh, this all started with a disastrous college entrance exam math incident in mainland China one year..."
……
"Quiet down! You all think you did really well on the exam, right? You don't need to study anymore? How many times have I told you, the exam is over, what's with all this chattering? The whole building is filled with the voices of us sophomores, instead of wasting time talking about this, you should be using your time to study!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was leisurely drinking tea in her office when the head of student affairs called her directly. It wasn't just her; probably all the homeroom teachers were now disciplining their classes.
After Hiratsuka finished his training and saw that the restless students in the class had quieted down, he nodded.
Having all been students themselves, and considering she has only been in the profession for a few years, she is among the younger generation of teachers and understands the difficulties these students face. This exam was indeed a bit too difficult.
"This exam is indeed a bit difficult, but you don't need to worry. If you don't know something, others won't know it either. If you don't do well, others will also do poorly. All three schools are using the same exam paper."
Beyond the essential knowledge required for the exam, I hope you can learn to regulate your mindset. You will encounter many unexpected events in the future; do you want to yell and scream like you do now then?
In an instant, some of the more sensitive students lowered their heads, feeling deeply ashamed.
We're all adults, and we all understand these principles, but understanding is one thing, it's another.
True understanding means that when you actually encounter this situation, you can still think of the principle and apply it; that is true understanding.
Even when simply walking in a straight line, the difficulty increases as the line lengthens.
Besides teaching, teachers also have a significant responsibility to constantly correct your mistakes.
As expected, aside from being a little fierce, violent, and scary, Hiratsuka-sensei didn't have any major flaws.
Hmm... as expected, Hiratsuka-sensei is still a good teacher! (Probably)
For a time, this idea filled the entire class.
After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, although there was still some noise in the classroom, everyone's mood had obviously improved.
Since the girl next to her hadn't said much, Su Qing assumed she had failed her exam and couldn't help but ask her.
"What's wrong? Do you find it too difficult?"
"Huh? I don't feel any difference."
Yui was taken aback at first, then looked at Su Qing with a blank expression.
Has it gotten so bad that you can't even tell how difficult the exam is? Su Qing slightly refreshed her understanding of Yui.
That's just how idiots are.
"Xiaoqing, are you confident this time? The exam was really difficult, otherwise I..."
Yui gripped Su Qing's clothes tightly, her fingers trembling slightly, her bright eyes flashing with obvious unease and tension, like a frightened little rabbit.
"Can you tell how difficult the exam is?"
Su Qing was taken aback.
"Of course! I'm not stupid!"
"Then why do you say there's no difference?"
"Because the school looks at rankings, not grades, so of course it doesn't matter."
Distracted like this, Yui's tension inexplicably lessened considerably.
Su Qing had a guess, but he wasn't very sure. He hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Then why are you looking so down?"
"It's not that, it's just that I'm worried about you and Yumiko..."
……
Su Qing fell silent. So, was I the idiot?
Su Qing sighed, gently released Yui's hand that was gripping the hem of her clothes, and spoke.
"Idiot, this kind of thing will be misunderstood in public! What if people misunderstand?"
"Oh, so you mean it's okay as long as it's not in public?"
Su Qing didn't continue to criticize Yui's thought process, but simply said in a helpless tone.
"Tsk, I'd be happy to grab your clothes for the rest of my life, even if it's not in public."
Anyone with eyes could see that this was just a joke. Su Qing knew it, Yui knew it, and Su Qing knew even more that Yui knew it.
But even such jokes require a certain level of closeness to be made.
