Ishigami Yu, who was just about to leave, turned his head and found Shiranui Koromo walking over with other girls in the class.
After seeing Ishigami Yu, the other female students unanimously chose to ignore him. Only Shiranui looked doubtfully at this classmate walking in the opposite direction from them.
"Ishigami-kun, class is about to start, where are you going?"
"Nothing much, just simply... skipping a class to go out and play games."
Ishigami Yu faintly heard the other girls whispering remarks like "As expected..." and "What a delinquent...", and couldn't help but smile. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
So you two just stop paying so much attention to me, because helping me will get you ostracized by others, and there is absolutely no need for that.
"Sorry, you guys go back to class first."
Shiranui Koromo smiled and said to the classmates beside her, and immediately only Shiranui and Ishigami Yu were left in the corridor outside the classroom.
"Shiranui-san, because you frequently take leave as an idol, your attendance days are already insufficient. If you also skip class, be careful they won't let you advance to the next grade."
"Who said I'm going to skip class with you? Let's go back to class. Did you see the principal's notice this morning? If our grades are good enough, we can use credits to skip class without penalty."
Ishigami Yu chuckled. "With my grades, how many extra credits can I get?"
"Then take advantage of this last bit of time and work hard to improve! Take advantage of this study wave to push yourself up, otherwise you will be squeezed down by the rest of the class."
Study? The ancients said: metaphysics, if it doesn't work, don't learn it.
Rather than desperately reading books for half a month and then exhaustingly seeing credits that haven't improved much, it's better to take this time to clear the newly bought game.
"As long as Ishigami-kun is willing, it's definitely possible, right? Your gaming mindset is so good."
"Hehe, playing games well has absolutely nothing to do with studying well, right?"
Shiranui shook her head. "I am very accurate in judging people. You just don't want to learn. Do you want to make a bet with me? If you don't play games for half a month and study seriously, you will definitely be able to break into the top ten of the class."
Top ten in the class? There are a total of 198 students in Ishigami Yu's grade, across six classes. Top ten in the class means ranking around top fifty in the grade.
But what were his midterm grades again? Seemed to be just over a hundred.
"Are you kidding me..."
"I believe Ishigami-kun can definitely do it if he wants to. If I misjudge, I will be at your disposal."
Ishigami Yu's eyes widened. "Aren't you afraid I will deliberately test very poorly?"
Shiranui Koromo beamed and revealed a confident smile. "I said, my eyes are very accurate in judging people."
"..."
The corridor fell quiet, so quiet that one could clearly hear someone in the classroom holding their breath in anger.
"Anyway, Ishigami-san is not the delinquent you guys talk about! In that case, I will prove it to you. I will tutor him in his studies until he gets into the top fifty of the grade! If I succeed, please take back your habit of looking at people through colored glasses."
Ishigami Yu in the corridor sighed. "You guys planned together to mess with me, didn't you..."
"No, I have barely spoken with Iino-san, but we are both very accurate in judging people. Do your best, with the tutoring of the first place in the grade, it seems my chances of winning the bet have increased a little."
Ishigami Yu's memory ended—inside his private room.
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Then why are you looking for me instead of enjoying Iino-san's private tutoring?"
Ishigami Yu turned his head away. "How could I let that idiot tutor me! Moreover, Iino is giving her all to maintain her first place in the grade. If her grades drop because of tutoring me..."
[Ishigami-kun/san, you can do it.]
Because of their trust and expectations, Ishigami Yu, who was accustomed to loneliness, changed. It turns out... there are actually people who still have expectations for a slacker like me.
Then... Ishigami Yu swore he would absolutely respond to these two expectations! Shiranui Koromo's bet, he accepted it!
Since the junior asked him so earnestly, Uchiha Ryo also gave his answer!
"Since that's the case, then get ready to accept my full tutoring. Let's make it clear first, even if you can't hold on, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. Break into the top fifty this final exam! When you come to the High School Division, I hope your grades directly suppress Iino-san."
"Eh? Me challenging Iino!"
Are you kidding? Rushing to the top fifty seemed hopeful to Ishigami Yu, but to suppress Iino Miko, who has been first place since enrollment, in just one year...
Isn't this like asking a sports student to train for a few months and then go fight the King of Curses?
"It's better to have a bigger goal. By the way, the exam is almost here. Do you have class notes now? And the key points circled by the teachers of various subjects."
".....I, I will go borrow notes from Iino-san tomorrow..."
The timeline returned to the present. In the Student Council, everyone except Fujiwara Chika, even Ishigami Yu, was absorbing knowledge like a sponge under Uchiha Ryo's tutoring.
This is Uchiha Ryo's original, non-scientific hypnotic learning method!
To make someone remember deeply, either their emotions must be very intense, such as the happiest, most fearful, or angriest moments will always be remembered.
Or, the heart must be still like water. When a person has nothing but learning in their heart, simply put, only by throwing oneself wholeheartedly into learning can one get twice the result with half the effort.
But Ishigami Yu couldn't achieve the hardworking state of Shirogane Miyuki, so Uchiha Ryo could only help him a little. After all, the power of the Sharingan is beyond the imagination of mortals!
...
Time quickly arrived at the next weekend. Uchiha Ryo immediately threw Ishigami Yu out, telling him to review on his own. His weekend time was very precious and couldn't be wasted on Ishigami Yu.
Last Saturday was Hayasaka Ai, Sunday was Chitanda, and this Saturday it was finally Yukinoshita's turn! By the way, this Sunday is Shirosaki Hana.
"Good morning, Yukino."
Generally speaking, the first thing two people do when arranging to go out together on the weekend is to find a place to meet. But due to the situation of the two of them... they had already met as soon as they woke up in the morning.
Leaving the apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino touched the bun hairstyle on the back of her head, somewhat not understanding why Uchiha Ryo wanted her to have such a hairstyle.
Her usual waterfall-like hair was tied into a bun. This was specially requested by Uchiha Ryo in the morning, and she didn't know what it was for.
After simple dressing up, Yukinoshita didn't struggle with what clothes to wear out like Chitanda did, but wore an open-collar fleece lace shirt and tight pants that could outline her slender legs.
By the way, these were all chosen by Uchiha Ryo...
Yukinoshita: I laugh at Hayasaka for lacking strategy, and Chitanda for lacking wisdom! Struggling over what clothes to wear caused a lot of wasted time. I just let Ryo-kun help me choose, isn't that it!
"Does it look good this way?"
Yukinoshita, having changed clothes, stood in front of Uchiha Ryo.
"Of course it looks good, but mainly it's convenient."
"Convenient... convenient for what?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Of course it's convenient for playing with cats. Long hair is easily messed up by cat scratches, and skirts are also easily torn. After all, our destination is... a cat cafe!"
"Cat cafe?!!"
Yukinoshita Yukino became visibly excited.
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Yeah, a cat cafe that only belongs to you today."
Yukinoshita blinked. "You even booked the whole place?"
"Of course not, I am the boss of the cat cafe, so what I say goes. Of course, all day today! You have the final say there."
Enyun-chan: Who understands, family? Today I met a scummy man. The cat cafe I worked so hard to run was taken to pick up girls with just one word. I am really speechless to death~
