We dismissed the group ten minutes before our lunch break was over. We packed up and headed toward the faculty room. We needed to confirm exactly what the test would cover.
“Chiyabashira-sensei, we have an urgent question.”
“Quite the theatrical entrance. You surprised the other teachers,” she said.
“I sincerely apologize for the sudden intrusion.”
“It’s fine. We’re in the middle of something, so please keep it brief.”
Chiyabashira-sensei continued to write in her notebook.
“Chiyabashira-sensei, last week when you told us what material the test would cover, did you make a mistake? A little earlier today, some Class C students told us that the test’s material would be different than what we were expecting.”
Chiyabashira-sensei listened in complete silence and didn’t even bat an eyelash as Horikita spoke. Then, she put down her pen.
“That’s right. The test’s topics changed last Friday. Sorry, I must’ve forgotten to inform you.”
“What?!”
She scribbled something down on a page in her notebook, tore it out, and handed it to Horikita. She’d written down textbook page numbers that referred to material we’d already covered in class. Most of the new material was from before we’d started the group, stuff that Sudou and the others hadn’t learned.
“Thanks to you, Horikita-san, I was able to correct my mistake. I’m grateful to all of you. That’s all. Thank you.”
“Wait a minute, Sae-chan-sensei! Isn’t it way too late for this?”
“I don’t think so. You still have one week. If you use that study time wisely, it should be easy. Right?”
Chiyabashira-sensei tried to shoo us out of the faculty room without the slightest hesitation. However, none of us moved.
“Even if you stay, nothing will change. You understand that, don’t you?” she asked.
“Let’s go.”
“B-but, Horikita-chan! We can’t just accept this!”
“As Chiyabashira-sensei said, staying would be a waste of time. Instead, we should begin studying the revised test materials.”
“But!”
Horikita turned on her heel and left the faculty room, Sudou and the others reluctantly following after her. Chiyabashira-sensei didn’t even glance at us as we left. I’d thought she would apologize for making such a mistake, but she didn’t. If anything, I’d thought that some of the other teachers might react to this incident.
Despite the fact that this was a pretty serious mistake for a homeroom teacher to make, none of the other teachers seemed to care. Hoshinomiya-sensei was seated nearby. Our eyes met. She gave a small smile and waved hello. Well, that was something, at least. However, I didn’t think that our teacher had simply forgotten to tell us what would be covered on the test.
When I stepped into the hallway, the afternoon class bell rang.
“Kushida-san. I have a small favor I want to ask you,” I said.
“Hmm? What is it?”
“I want you to tell the rest of Class D about the changes to the test.”
With that, I handed her Chiyabashira-sensei’s paper with the textbook numbers.
“That’s fine, but…is it okay for me to do it?”
“You’re the best candidate we have. There’s no doubt in my mind. Besides, we can’t take the test when we don’t know what’s going to be on it.”
“Okay, I understand. Leave it to me. I’ll tell Hirata-kun and everyone else.”
“I’ll get ready for tomorrow. By then, I should have narrowed down everything we’ll need.”
Horikita tried hard to appear calm, but I could sense her anxiety. That time we’d spent studying had been squandered, and we were back to square one. Plus, we now only had one week left.
However, our greatest concern was keeping the Idiot Trio motivated.
“Horikita. I know I’ve been difficult, but I’m counting on you.” Sudou bowed to Horikita as he spoke those words.
“Starting tomorrow…I’ll take a break from club activities. Will that work?”
“That…”
Considering that we had only one week left and time was of the essence, it was a rational decision. However, the offer so surprised Horikita that she couldn’t immediately accept.
“Will that really be okay with you? It’ll be a lot of work.”
“Studying is a lot of work, isn’t it?” Grinning, Sudou patted Horikita’s shoulder.
“Sudou, are you serious?” she asked.
“Yeah. I mean, I’m pissed at our homeroom teacher and those jerks in Class C now, too.”
You could call this a blessing in disguise. After being backed into a corner, Sudou had finally developed a positive attitude about studying. He probably realized if he didn’t do his best, he couldn’t pass the test. His declaration inspired Ike and Yamauchi.
“Guess we don’t have any choice. We’ll try harder, too,” Ike said.
“I understand. If you’re prepared, then we can work together. However, Sudou-kun…” Horikita coldly removed Sudou’s hand from her shoulder.
“Please do not touch me. If you do so again, I won’t show you any mercy.”
“You’re not cute at all, lady…”
“We’re definitely gonna do this!”
“Yeah! Me, too!”
Kushida, who also seemed motivated, stuck out her fist.
“Come on, Ayanokouji-kun. You do your best, too!” she cried.
“Huh? No, I—”
“Don’t tell me. Did you already give up on studying?”
“I’ve thought about it a little.”
“You promised you’d work with me. Did you forget?” asked Horikita while glaring at me.
“I’m not a good teacher. People have different strengths and weaknesses, right?”
To be honest, Horikita and Kushida were better teachers than I was. I didn’t consider myself really capable of tutoring others.
“Your test scores weren’t that bad, were they?”
“There isn’t much time left, so it might be more effective if Horikita and Kushida work together to teach those three rather than tutoring one-on-one. Also, something else is kind of bothering me.”
“Something bothering you?”
What had happened in the faculty room was far too serious for me to overlook.
