"Buzz—"
The area around the printer was completely surrounded by the scumbags. Other students who came close would feel physically uncomfortable due to the dark and evil aura emitted by these guys, so naturally, no one came to disturb the situation.
Ten minutes later, dozens of fresh miniaturized cheat sheets were printed, three per person on average, which would at least allow them to pass.
"Everyone! First, let us thank Comrade Yu for his selfless dedication, otherwise, we would have to print a whole sixty pages of notes."
"Oh!!!"
Watching this group of people cheer half-heartedly, their hands didn't slow down at all, and they divided up all the cheat sheets in a few seconds.
Slurping his ice cream, Miyazawa Yu eyes looked like he was watching maggots, but forced by the numbers of these bastards, he could only mumble his contempt: "You're welcome, I deserve it..."
"However! We still face a new problem!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Hajime Nojima placed one hand on his face, and his narrow eyes scanned the people present through the gaps between his fingers, reminding them: "How should we bring these things into the examination room?"
"That's simple!"
Saying that, Yu Mitarai pulled out a roll of double-sided tape from his bag, and without any hesitation, he pasted his cheat sheets side by side on his pencil case.
"Oh! A very rustic way of cheating, Yu, are you still an elementary school student?"
"Shut up, you traitor who studies hard! I won't allow you to profane the art of cheating! The method must be simple and practical to work, understand!"
"Sigh..."
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find the advantage of this elementary school student's cheating method. Miyazawa Yu, after all, had never cheated, and could only groan, holding his head, and look at the others.
"What about you? What clever tricks do you have?"
"Hmph, then you have to watch closely, as long as you stick the cheat sheet inside the beverage bottle..."
"No, no, no! It's so hot, you must bring a towel, right! Only such necessities won't be suspected! So it should be stuck on the towel!"
"Oh! Nojima, what about you? They're almost out of double-sided tape~"
It was eye-opening. Miyazawa Yu was surprised by the myriad of cheating methods used by these scumbags, wondering if this was a different kind of 'bad students have more stationery'.
The small double-sided tape was actually played with creatively. Although rudimentary, they all looked very useful!
"Heh, the purity is too low!"
He pushed up his glasses with a cold laugh. This low-level operation was as ridiculous as a child learning to speak in Hajime Nojima's view.
"My method! Is wǎn nèi (inside the bowl)!"
"One Night? Are you going to cram it all in one night?"
(Note: 'Wǎn nèi' is a homophone for 'One Night' in Chinese, referencing the Japanese pronunciation.)
"No! It's wàn nèi (inside the wrist)! Which means clamping it with your arm!"
Ah ah~ it's a pun. This thing that isn't even a katakana only made Miyazawa Yu suddenly realize.
Everyone else felt a sudden gust of cold air from Siberia pass through—this cold joke was terrible!
"What about you, Kitahara?"
"I'll just simply stick it inside a fan. Kohei is right, you still have to choose inconspicuous necessities!"
"Then I'll stick it inside my clothes... Damn! Could you guys use a little less double-sided tape! It's all gone!"
"Make do with it!"
With a sinister smile, now that he was safe, where would Iori care about Fujiwara Kenta's life? All the cheaters gathered together and raised their fists high.
"Everyone! For a wonderful summer vacation, we must persevere until the end and get the score!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"...What are they doing?"
Miyazawa Yu had joined Chisa at some point, and he shook his head helplessly, looking at the noisy crowd.
"They are just poor souls fighting for their destiny..."
"Are they idiots?"
"Yes! They are idiots!"
Covering his face with both hands, why did he have to associate with this group of people!
He recalled that in Tokyo, Miyazawa Yu was at least a popular figure, if not a leader. Now he has turned into non-recyclable trash. Life is truly unpredictable!
The next day, the German language exam site.
Sitting in the last row, Miyazawa Yu glanced at the German-descended teacher on the podium whose style was clearly different, and he felt that Iori and the others might be in trouble this time.
It is well known that Germans are famous for their rigor. Isn't there a saying that three years of studying in Germany might be the longest seven years of your life?
"...Gulp!"
Standing ready, the foreheads of Kitahara Iori cheating clique were sweating. The invigilating teacher's aura was too strong, which caused them extreme psychological pressure.
"Then next—students, please put away your pencil cases first!"
"!"
With a thump, his head hit the desk. The exam hadn't started yet, and Yu Mitarai happily conceded defeat, only able to beg Yamamoto next to him for the answers.
The latter took a sip of water and put on airs, with an arrogant expression of 'you wouldn't listen to an old man's words'.
"Secondly, eating and drinking are prohibited, so put away all drinks as well!"
"Pfft!"
Shinichirou Yamamoto sprayed a mouthful of water all over Imamura Kohei's back of the head, and he reluctantly squeezed the beverage bottle flat.
But due to the teacher's intimidation, he dared not act rashly and could only look at Iori with his glistening big eyes.
"...Very good!"
Miyazawa Yu, who watched the whole monkey show of the cheating clique, clapped his hands under the table like a seal.
He originally thought they were confident and that this group of people was going to perform a spy movie.
But now it seems that as long as Iori is involved, no matter how high the stakes are, it will eventually turn into a pure comedy.
"Alright, you can start answering the questions at one o'clock, and you can hand in your papers when you are done. Now..."
After announcing all the exam rules, the German teacher declared with bright, piercing eyes: "The exam begins now!"
"We hand in our papers!!!"
Two guys who had already given up on themselves instantly stood up and left gracefully just as the exam started, adding a layer of panic debuff to everyone else remaining.
Even Chisa couldn't help but frown after receiving the test paper—it was too difficult, unusually difficult!
For a second language, if the difficulty of a general test paper is one hundred, its difficulty should be around sixty, but this test paper clearly exceeded one hundred and twenty! Does anyone actually study German seriously...
"Shua shua shua—"
Just as she was about to say that no one could pass this exam, Chisa Kotegawa slightly turned her head and found that Miyazawa Yu next to her had already started writing, and his speed was extremely fast.
Seeing that the multiple-choice section was completely filled in less than five minutes, she couldn't help but reach out and poke Yu shoulder twice, reminding him in a whisper: "Pay attention to the questions. Even if it's difficult, just do your best, there's no need to give up on yourself!"
"Huh? Ah, relax~ This level of German is no different from Japanese to me."
Miyazawa Yu, who was categorized into Iori group of useless people by Chisa, explained with a wry smile. His hand movements didn't slow down at all, and the sound of him flipping the page shuala startled everyone present!
It is well known that there are two most terrifying situations during an exam—everyone else has flipped the page but you haven't, and everyone else has stopped writing but you are still writing!
"Wait... Yu, you don't even need to read the questions carefully?"
For Iori, it was only natural for someone to write faster than him, but for Chisa, personally witnessing the gap in ability completely destroyed her mindset.
More importantly than her mindset, she hadn't even clearly seen the answers on the previous page!
"How about this, Yu, you flip back to the previous page to check?"
Her attitude changed subtly. Considering the possibility of failing and having to take a supplementary exam, Chisa Kotegawa bit her lip, and some cautious thoughts inevitably arose.
"It's okay. I have to go back and help Nanaka-san make lunch later, and there are trial customers in the afternoon, so I have to hurry..."
Before he could finish speaking, Miyazawa Yu hand was slapped and held in place. He looked up and found that little Chisa cheeks were already burning in a large flush of crimson.
Combined with her various behaviors just now, he immediately realized the reason why Chisa was trying every means to make him flip back to the previous page.
His expression instantly became playful. How could he give up such a good opportunity? With a gentle smile, he softly threatened: "One secret of Nanaka-san for one page of the test paper! No bargaining!"
"!!!"
Trading her sister's secret for exam scores! That's too despicable, but...
Gasping out hot air, as Miyazawa Yu kept flipping the test paper to tempt her, a tear welled up in the corner of Chisa Kotegawa eye.
"Come on~ don't hold back anymore, look, look!"
"Gulp! No, I can't do this!"
"Really, but if you fail, you'll have to take a make-up exam. In that case, you won't be able to go traveling or diving during the summer vacation and will have to stay in your room..."
Using a tone that encouraged wrongdoing, Miyazawa Yu lowered his body and whispered into Chisa ear: "Studying German... all... the... time... you know!"
"!!!"
Everyone else going diving, and only she stays at home studying German, she doesn't want that!
Her lips trembling, she looked up and saw that the teacher wasn't looking in their direction. Two clear lines of tears slid down Chisa Kotegawa face—Sorry, Sister, Chisa has no other option.
