Academic Struggles - Part 3 [Kanako Hanae]

I was late for class the next morning, and I had my roommate to thank for waking me up. However, even with her help, I was still running late. She too was running behind schedule, but not as far behind as I was.

"I'll go first then!"

She had left ahead of me, and as I rushed to get dressed. Hearing the door shut, I hurried out after her, but I was still too late. The teacher hadn't arrived yet, but the classroom was already filled with students.

"Ah..."

The thought of the study groups came to mind and I remembered overhearing some of my classmates expressing their distaste for the idea. Despite this, I still considered joining one. Studying with someone else seemed easier than working alone, as I had experienced with Hasegawa the previous day.

However, the notion of being paired with someone who might not know the answer to my questions was disconcerting. The idea of studying with someone who was intelligent, like Hasegawa, was far more appealing.
