“There are no absences today. It appears everyone is present.”
Chiyabashira-sensei strode through the classroom with a bold smile on her face.
“That’s the first hurdle for you leftovers. Are there any questions?”
“We’ve studied diligently these past few weeks. I don’t think that anyone will fail.”
“Oh my. You sound quite confident, Hirata.”
Everyone wore a confident look. The teacher promptly took up the test papers and passed them out. Our first period test was for social studies. Out of everything we’d studied, it was probably the easiest subject.
“If anyone stumbles here, the other tests will be an uphill battle, quite frankly. You’ll take this midterm and the final exam in July. If no one fails either test, you’ll be rewarded with a vacation during your summer break.”
“A vacation?”
“That’s right. A dream vacation on an island surrounded by the brilliant blue sea.”
Of course, the beach in summer meant we’d be able to see the girls in their swimsuits…
“Wh-what is this strange pressure…” one of the boys muttered.
Chiyabashira-sensei stepped back from the obvious tension the students exuded… mostly the boys.
“Everyone. Let’s do our best!”
“Yeah!” Ike howled along with our classmates. I shouted too, my voice getting lost in the cacophony.
“Pervert.” Horikita glanced at me. I immediately fell silent.
Before long, everyone had their test papers. On the teacher’s signal, everyone began. I held off on starting for a moment and looked around at the others. With everything they’d learned, could the Idiot Trio avoid failing?
First off, how many of this test’s questions were the same as the ones from the old exam? I needed to check that first.
All right.
I discreetly clenched my fist in triumph. Despite my fears, the questions here were the same as the old ones. I hadn’t looked them over in any detail, but I saw no great difference. If I’d memorized what was on the old test, it was clear that I could get a near-perfect score.
Glancing around the classroom for assurance, I didn’t notice any students looking flustered or confused. I assumed that many of them had engaged in some last-minute studying. Slowly, I went through and answered all of the problems.
The second and third period exams were for Japanese and chemistry, respectively. While I worked, I discovered something else that intrigued me. Looking over the problems again, I realized that what Horikita had drilled into the study group was consistent with what was on the test. She’d been able to accurately predict what problems would appear just from the lessons. The silent girl beside me was even more impressive than I’d imagined.
Then came fourth period. Mathematics. All of the abnormally difficult questions that had been featured on the mock test also appeared here, but the content was the same as the old exams. Even if Sudou and the other guys couldn’t understand the problems, they could still apply the answers if they’d memorized them.
Then came the break.
Some members of our study group, including Ike, Yamauchi, Kushida, Horikita, and myself, gathered together.
“An easy victory! We’ve got this test on lock!”
“I feel like I might get 120 points.” Ike sounded pretty sure of himself. Yamauchi must have felt the same, judging from the smile on his face. Confident, they looked over the old test papers for a final review.
“Sudou-kun, how about you?” Kushida spoke to Sudou, who sat alone at his desk and stared fixedly at the old test material. However, Sudou looked sullen.
“Sudou-kun?”
“Huh? Oh, sorry. I’m kind of busy.”
He didn’t look up from the questions as he spoke. He was reviewing the English test material, his forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat.
“Sudou, did you…not study the old test material, by chance?”
“Everything but English. I fell asleep partway through.”
Sudou sounded irritated. In other words, this was his first time reviewing the material.
“Eh?!”
That also meant that Sudou only had ten minutes to review.
“Damn, I can’t get any of these answers to stick in my head,” he muttered.
Unlike the other tests, the English problems weren’t easy to memorize. Trying to cram all of the answers in just ten minutes would be impossible.
“Sudou-kun, memorize the problems that are worth a lot of points and those with the shortest answers.” Horikita leapt up from her seat and moved next to Sudou.
“O-okay.” He stopped focusing on the low-point questions and instead zeroed in on what would net him the most points.
“A-are you going to be okay?” While trying to avoid getting in the way, Kushida appeared anxious.
“Unlike Japanese, I don’t know the basics of English. These letters look like some kind of magic spell or something. Memorizing it’ll take time.”
“Y-yeah. I struggle with English, too…”
The break passed in the blink of an eye, and the heartless class bell rang.
“I did all I could. I’ll try to answer the questions I remember first, before I forget them.”
“Yeah…”
And thus began our English test. While the other students calmly made their way through, Sudou clearly had trouble. Occasionally, he’d stop writing and whack his pen against his head. However, no one could help him now.
Whether Sudou sank or swam was entirely up to him.
