Chapter 254: [Easy Win]
"Iroha, how was the test earlier? I got a perfect score, of course!"
"I got a perfect score too."
"Tch, tied again. It seems like there's no difference between us at this rate."
High school life had begun, and it's already been a week.
While moving to the next classroom, Shitenno walked beside him and started talking.
I still haven't memorized his real name, which I apologize for. Please cut me some slack.
I'm bad at remembering names in the first place, and everyone around just calls him by a nickname anyway.
"But seriously, I never expected high school tests to be this easy."
"To be honest, I thought the same thing."
Our middle school was an advanced school.
However, even considering that, high school tests were easy.
Well, there are various difficult things outside of tests, like subjects that weren't in Japan.
But basic subjects like math and chemistry were quite easy.
"But it can't be helped, right? High school is compulsory education here. Or is it a moratorium?"
"I get it. It's a mix of good and bad. My friends made here are all locals, after all."
The school system is closer to Japanese universities, but in terms of position, it's closer to middle school.
It's normal to go to a high school near your home, and there's no entrance exam.
"Also, unlike Japan, there doesn't seem to be a strategy of choosing schools in reverse to get into a good university to get into a good company, right?"
"Yeah. But some parents want their kids to go to safe schools for security."
Maybe, even the choice of studying or not is free'. Of course, with corresponding self-responsibility.
"But, if classes are easy, it's okay, right? It's easy."
"That's just an excuse! Your brain will get rusty in no time like this!"
"You're serious, huh?"
"On the contrary, why aren't you motivated? Didn't you come here hoping to study abroad?"
"Even if you say that, my study abroad is just a side gig for being a VTuber."
"Your priorities are still messed up!"
"Huh? Isn't there anything more important than being a VTuber?"
Haha, it's normal~!
American snacks are like this!
I hurriedly took out my water bottle.
Glancing around the classroom, I saw many students chewing on something.
Especially popular are gums and chewable tobacco.
Come to think of it, isn't the age for tobacco in America 18?
N-no, it must be my imagination! Surely, everyone is chewing gum.
But why do they all stick their chewed gum under the desks?
The only thing not sold inside the school is gum that must be the reason.
Phew. Th-that scared me
Iroha-chan, so dramatic~! Here, try this as an apology!
I-is this sweet too?
Hmm, just average?
It's still sweet, isn't it!?
And while that was going on
Ring, ring, ring!
The bell rang, and class began.
Our breaks are only five minutes.
They end as soon as we move.
Okay, let's start with this problem
It was a math class.
To be precise, it was algebra.
As I was solving problems, a girl looked at me with a shocked expression.
Huh? Did something strange happen?
I-Iroha-chan, aren't you using a calculator?
Huh?
And I tilted my head.
