"Yotsuba-san, did you say that because you're worried you won't succeed in this final exam?"
Through her words, Raphiel made a subtle guess.
"Eh? How did you know?" Yotsuba was surprised.
She had never expressed this idea to Raphiel.
"It's just a small guess."
Raphiel lowered her head and looked at the review material in her hands. Most of it was filled with annotations and analysis, explaining casually, "Moreover, Yotsuba-san reviews very seriously, which means you definitely want to do well in the exam. Of course, what you fear the most is not doing well in the exam."
"So that's it."
Yotsuba felt that she understood how she had been seen thoroughly.
"Does your family have requirements for your grades?" Raphiel asked, "For example, if you don't reach the top 100, your allowance will be reduced."
"No, but Dad really hopes that we can get good grades in the exams."
To ensure all five of them achieve good results, their father specifically entrusted Ren to provide them with study guidance.
"Don't worry, I think you, Yotsuba-san, will definitely get good results this time." Raphiel encouraged.
"I hope so."
Yotsuba also hoped for the same.
Just as Raphiel was about to say something else, Satania's voice was heard.
"What are you two secretly talking about?"
Then came Satania, her eyes full of curiosity.
"There's nothing to talk about."
Seeing the visitor, Yotsuba could only smile.
After getting to know Raphiel, she had become friends with Satania, who had a very good relationship with Raphiel.
Although Satania's usual behavior was somewhat odd, she was still very popular in class.
The main reason was that she looked cute.
Of course, Raphiel was also very popular in her class.
Thinking about this, Yotsuba could only look in her direction.
"Really? Aren't you two trying to deceive me? I can see through any disguise you make with just one glance."
Satania covered half of her face with her hand and said very arrogantly.
"No, we were just talking about some final exam topics."
Yotsuba was completely used to Satania's chuunibyou and could follow her strange thinking.
"Actually, the two of us were discussing how to cheat on the final exam."
At this point, Raphiel said with a smile.
"Cheat?! Isn't that against school rules? If caught, you'll be expelled?"
Satania was frightened by these words, and she stuttered when speaking, completely losing the arrogance she had just now.
"That's why we have to discuss it quietly."
Raphiel lowered her voice, seemingly cooperating with the cheating topic.
And Yotsuba's eyes blinked, and she didn't understand what Raphiel was talking about.
Clearly, this wasn't what they were talking about earlier.
"No wonder."
Satania silently took a step back.
"By the way, Satania, would you like to join us? It might be more comfortable if the three of us do it together." Raphiel invited with a bright smile.
"Hmmm... I'm a bit thirsty. I'll buy a bottle of water."
Satania laughed, then made an excuse and ran out of the class without hesitation.
Something as serious as cheating during an exam is beyond her capabilities.
"Okay, she won't disturb you, Yotsuba-san, so you can continue your review. I'll talk to Satania."
After saying this, Raphiel also left the classroom and walked in the direction Satania had gone.
"Goodbye."
Only now did Yotsuba understand why Raphiel said that just now.
Just to lie to Satania.
(By the way, Raphiel-san really likes to bully Satania-san. Their relationship is indeed very good.)
Thinking about irrelevant things, Yotsuba continued to read the review material in her hands.
If she passes the exam, what gift should she ask from her?
······
"Phew..."
She took out a note that said "Good luck on the exam" from her pencil case and placed it on Fumino's desk, praying silently in her heart.
She hoped for better results this time.
The first exam was in Japanese, so she wasn't worried at all, but it might not be the same for mathematics.
In the last exam, she didn't complete many questions because she didn't have enough time.
This time, she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
The exam bell rang, and the supervisor standing at the podium began distributing the exam papers.
"To fulfill Kamikawa-san's hard work during this period, I say that I must do well on this exam."
Fumino made a decision.
······
"I understand."
Taking the newly distributed liberal arts exam paper, Rizu commented in a low voice.
In the last exam, it took her some time to roughly understand the meaning of these reading comprehension questions, but now she could understand them thoroughly in a very short time.
The reason why she could do all this, she naturally knew who deserved the praise.
"After the exam is over, I want to thank Kamikawa-san again." Rizu had an idea in her mind.
······
"Miku and Yotsuba seem to be able to do it too."
After going through those questions, Ichika thought a bit helplessly.
They were all taught by Ren because he knew how to do it, which means they both should also know how to do it.
(It seems a bit difficult to ask for a gift from him.)
Ichika took a pen and wrote her name first.
(I propose this ranking gift. If I don't get my gift, I'll make a wedding dress for them.)
With this thought in mind, Ichika answered the question with 100% energy.
Since their levels are almost the same, the key to victory or defeat lies in the details.
Therefore, this should be taken seriously.
······
Seeing the questions on the liberal arts exam paper that she basically knew, Miku's eyes sharpened.
She had already thought about what gift she wanted Ren to give, and what she wanted to give in return.
The prerequisite for reaching this step is to surpass Ichika and Yotsuba in this exam.
(Must win!)
