Supporting High School Student Finishes Exam
“Yo, Seiya. How did it go? Ah, by the way, I think my score’s going to be the same this time too.”
“The same…….I guess that’s good for you. I think I did worse than last time but I guess it is still better than the time before that.”
“Oh! That’s nice……it’s nice right?”
“Come on, obviously that’s nice. I got 80 points all across the board after all. I should be able to get the top grade with this.”
Although the ranking from the total score doesn’t look that impressive, in the end, the most important is what grade you get. The grade for each subject ranges from 1 to 5 and when we graduate we will get the average grade of each subject.
Some universities won’t let you take their entrance exam unless you get above a certain grade, there are also recommendations to consider too. Getting good grades is always nice.
At our school, the total score for each subject comes from two sources. 20 percent is from our homework and our behavior during classes and another 80 comes from the exam and if you scored 80 or above, you get Grade 5.
In other words, there is a high possibility that you will get Grade 5 if you do well on written exams except for subjects like physical education where there’s no written exam. The University recommendations will be given to the students in order of our grades so there’s nothing such as doing too well.
By the way, you will not get a recommendation if you have problematic behavior or were suspended in the past.
“Actually, this time I……..”
“O, Oh……?”
“I’m not failing a single subject this time!”
“OH! Good for you!”
“Right! If I got the red mark then I will have to attend supplementary classes during summer after all……”
“You……you did your best to avoid that huh…….”
If you get a failing score in the mid-term exam, you will be given supplementary lessons after school but if you get it in the final, you will have to come to school during your summer vacation.
Since the supplementary lessons are basically held at the convenience of the teacher in charge of the subject, if you get failing scores on multiple subjects, there’s no guarantee that you will get the supplementary lesson on the same day. Moreover, the supplementary lesson for a subject won’t be only once.
In other words, you have to attend the class for one hour on who knows when, when you don’t even have to go to school.
That’s probably why Masato did his best this time.
“Hey, Shiraki-kun, Hiura-kun, how are you two doing this time?”
Eihashi-san and Ichinose-san came up to us. It seems that our classmates already got used to this scene and there’s no fuss over them coming over to talk.
Incidentally, with Eihashi-san’s main character status, I am now elevated from Mob Classmate to Supporting Classmate.
No angry Fanclub member showed up nor did someone call me out to beat me up behind the gym so it seems that we really do not have those kinds of extreme people at our school.
Rather, I may have not paid close enough attention to my own classmates.
“Ah, Ichinose-san, Eihashi-san. No red mark got me this time! Well, I guess I did achieve my goal!”
“Your bar is too low. I’m doing worse than last time but I still think I’m doing better than usual I guess? How did you do, Eihashi-san, Ichinose-san?”
“I asked Reika to help me so I still kept the same score from last time! I got a new phone after getting that score after all. My parents would get angry at me if my score dropped back to before!”
“I see. Your parents might take away your phone because they think that you played with it too much after all. How was yours, Eihashi-san?”
“This time, I………”
“WHYYYYYYYYY!?”
At that time, a wail of sadness echoed in our classroom. I think I heard that voice last time too so I guess that it belongs to Misunashi.
By the way, it seems that Misunashi always reigns in the first place until Eihashi-san took over last time. In other words, that scream means……….”
“…….congratulation on the first place.”
“Th, thank you very much.”
“S, Somehow, I think we can’t really celebrate yet right.”
“That guy always asks the teachers for what he doesn’t get in class after all. I kinda pity him a little bit here……”
Rumor has it that he had been studying non-stop before the exam so I kind of feel sorry for him since he couldn’t take his first place back…….rather, maybe he studied too hard and made some careless mistakes because he didn’t get enough rest……?
Eh, if that’s the case then isn’t Misunashi just getting caught in a hellish loop again?…….Well, I guess he will be fine.”
“This means everyone will safely have a summer vacation right!”
“Yes. Next year we will have to take extra classes during summer to prepare for the entrance exam so I think this is the only year that we can play without worry?”
“Right. The first half will be mandatory and the second half is voluntary was it?”
“If I don’t attend every class then I might not be able to get into a university……..”
“I already forgot what I studied in our first year here……..”
I don’t think I remember everything from my first year here either so I guess I will have to take the class. That means this might be our final vacation where we can play around freely.
If it is me from last year then my thought process might have been ‘since I’m not going to play anyway, might as well study at home. But now I think I’m different.
“Well, let’s leave the next year talk for later. Let’s plan our summer vacation first!”
“That’s right. Since it’s summer, I want to try going to a festival.”
“That’s nice! I want to wear yukata too!”
“But it’s inconvenient though! It’s hard to run in yukata after all.”
“No, just don’t run in yukata in the first place.”
Without realizing it, I retorted Ichinose-san’s joke and we all started laughing.
“Umm, does Hiura-kun also wants to see yukata?”
“Nn? Me? Let’s see……yukatas are beautiful so I guess you will look good in one……”
“Is, Is, is, is that so……..”
The moment I answered, Eihashi-san acted strangely again.
“Seiya.”
“What?”
“Eihashi-san was asking you if you like yukata, not what you think of her in yukata you know.”
What I said just now was ‘yukatas are beautiful so I guess you will look good in one’.
“S, s, S, sorry! I didn’t mean it like that, I just thought that you would look good in one!”
“Y, yes! I, I, I understand! I, I will use it as a reference in the future!”
“Reika, you are not speaking Japanese any more so let’s just calm down first okay.”
“Seiya, you shut your mouth too.”
