Kurokawa Yuta took the report card from the class teacher Yamazaki Mana.
I took a look at my results.
"Successfully ranked among the top 100 in the school!"
Kurokawa Yuta's eyes were immediately attracted by the numbers in the ranking column.
His eyes widened and his heart beat faster. He couldn't believe his results - ranked 97th in the school!
"Great! I actually made it into the top 100 in the school!"
He shouted excitedly, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling at this moment.
His face was filled with the glory of a winner, and his eyes were shining with triumph.
He walked off the podium with his head held high, every step full of strength and confidence.
The classmates around him cast envious glances, and his heart was filled with joy and pride.
Walking to Aragaki Yasu's side, Kurokawa Yuta turned around and looked at Aragaki Yasu proudly.
It was as if he was saying to Aragaki Yasushi, come and ask me about my specific results.
Aragaki Jing smiled, followed his intention, and asked: "Kurokawa, how are your grades?"
"I am the ninety-seventh in the school!"
Kurokawa Yuta said excitedly while handing the transcript to Yasu Aragaki.
Aragaki glanced at it.
It is indeed the 97th in the school, but it is tied, with 3 written on the tied line.
In this way, there is not much difference between Kurokawa Yuta's number 97 in the school and number 99 in the school.
After all, there are no 98 or 99 among his rankings, he is directly ranked 100th.
This performance ranking is quite dangerous.
If you are not careful and get one more question wrong, you will plummet by several places, or even more than a dozen places.
However, when he was in the student union, Aragaki and Kurokawa Yuta checked many answers.
Although limited by memory, it is impossible to compare all the test questions.
But Yasushi Aragaki's results this time are definitely better than Yuta Kurokawa's.
Even more than a little bit more.
And Kurokawa Yuta is already ranked among the top 100 in the school.
So, wouldn't Aragaki Yasushi's ranking be able to reach the top 50 in the school and squeeze into the published performance list?
He even made it into the top ten among the top students from all walks of life.
If he can successfully get the first place in the school, wouldn't it be possible to gather the label of "leader"?
Not long after, Aragaki Yasu's name was also called by Yamazaki Mana.
Aragaki Jing stood up and walked towards the podium.
Aragaki Yasu could detect that Yamazaki Mana's eyes were full of joy.
It seems that my ranking this time is indeed not low.
Yasushi Aragaki took his transcript from Yamazaki Mana's hand and looked at the ranking on the transcript.
Ranked eighth in the school.
Aragaki Jing was slightly startled, and his expression returned to calm again.
He didn't expect that his performance ranking would improve so much this time.
It seems that the effect of [Diligence can make up for weakness] that has been strengthened to the epic level is quite terrifying.
However, the many study sessions hosted by Takehara Maki are also very important.
For the label "Diligence can make up for weakness", diligence is also a very precious fuel.
The head teacher, Yamazaki Mana, looked at Aragaki Yasushi who received the report card, with a satisfied smile on his face.
She looked around the classroom and praised loudly: "Students, Aragaki Yasushi has achieved eighth place in the school this time. This is the result of his hard work."
"I hope everyone can learn from him, follow his example, and continue to work hard to improve their academic performance."
Hearing Yamazaki Mana's words, warm applause erupted in the classroom. Eyes were cast towards Aragaki Yasu, and there were many discussions in the classroom.
Yamazaki Mana looked at Aragaki Yasushi and couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.
When she first came into contact with Aragaki Yasushi, she thought he was a problem student and a bad boy.
But unexpectedly, Aragaki not only actively participated in various extracurricular activities, joined the student union, but also had a kendo club and a supernatural research club.
He also performed very well in studies and was an excellent student with all-round development.
For her, this not only gave Yamazaki Mana a sense of accomplishment in her heart, but also brought her practical benefits.
As a class tutor in a private school, the excellent results of the students in the class can also be regarded as her achievements.
As for whether directly announcing Aragaki Yasushi's results would violate his right to privacy.
In this regard, there is actually not much of a problem.
After all, the names of the top fifty names in the school were posted on the notice board on the first floor of the teaching building.
At this time, Aragaki's expression changed and he looked at the virtual panel that appeared in front of him.
At this time, a new label appeared on the virtual panel.
【Straight A student】
Aragaki Jing's expression changed.
Sure enough, the label of [student master] was successfully condensed.
As early as before the exam, Aragaki Yasushi had already guessed that he could gather the label of "Academic Master".
But now, this label has indeed been successfully condensed.
I just didn’t expect that it wouldn’t be possible to successfully condense it until after the results came down.
I don’t know, is it related to Yamazaki Mana’s announcement of Aragaki Yasushi’s results?
After Aragaki Jing left the podium, several more people came to collect their results.
Not long after, Takehara Maki's name was called.
Before Maki Takehara could receive the results, Mana Yamazaki praised loudly.
"In this midterm exam, Takehara Maki, the number one student in our class, also achieved the second best result in the school."
"Let us warmly congratulate Takehara-san."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class immediately became excited, with thunderous applause and cheers from the students.
Everyone's face was filled with expressions of admiration and envy, and their eyes were full of congratulations and respect for Takehara Maki.
Under the gaze of everyone, Takehara Maki's face showed a slight blush.
However, she quickly calmed down and took her transcript from Yamazaki Mana's hand.
…
After school, outside the teaching building.
Aragaki Yasushi and Kurokawa Yuta stopped and looked at somewhere surrounded by crowds.
It was a grade bulletin board at the door of the first floor of the teaching building. The grade rankings on it only showed the top fifty in the school.
Although the scope is limited, many students still gathered in front of this bulletin board.
Some of them looked at each name intently, while others silently wrote down those dazzling names.
Every name of a student on the list has become a hot topic among classmates, as it seems that these names represent some kind of honor and recognition.
Those students who are famous on the list have become the envy of everyone.
Their names were mentioned repeatedly by their classmates, and their deeds in school became more legendary and outrageous as word of mouth spread.
Yasu Aragaki and Yuta Kurokawa just stood next to the bulletin board for less than three minutes and heard several different versions of Yasu Aragaki's story.
These stories are quite outrageous.
In their mouths, Aragaki seemed to be a bad boy who had excellent grades but committed all kinds of evil.
He also suffers from dual personality and has a hidden secret identity. His true identity is the new generation leader of a certain Yakuza organization.
From the president of the academy to the freshmen who just entered the school, everyone trembled under Aragaki Yasushi's lustful power.
It's just a short step from turning Yasu Aragaki into a monster with three heads and six arms.
Aragaki Yasushi didn't care about these remarks. His eyes glanced around the performance rankings.
The top of the list is naturally Watanabe Shoko. After all, she is the woman who is known as the number one forever.
The second was Takehara Maki, and then a bunch of strangers.
"Eh?"
Aragaki Jing's expression suddenly changed and he saw a familiar name.
"Fujiwara Mashiro?"
"In this position?"
Kurokawa Yuta also discovered something at this time, with a bit of surprise on his face.
Outside the student union room.
Aragaki stopped, and in the strange eyes of Kurokawa Yuta beside him, he sensed the situation in the student union room.
The Earthbound Spirit of the Student Union is inside.
"Bang bang bang."
Aragaki Jing raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A slightly cold voice came from the student union room.
Aragaki opened the door, and the figure of Fujiwara Mashiro appeared in front of the desk not far away.
The Queen of the Student Council has returned to her throne once again.
Fujiwara Mashiro was sitting at the desk in the student union. The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, coating her hair with a golden glow, but it did not dispel the boredom between her brows.
Her eyes were slightly confused, as if she was thinking about a complicated problem.
The pen in her hand scratched randomly on the paper, leaving a series of disordered symbols, which was very similar to her chaotic thoughts at the moment.
On the desk, the student union's work plans, activity materials and various documents were piled up in an unusually disorderly manner.
Her fingers slid lightly over the papers, each touch seeming to be laced with a hint of hesitation and confusion.
Although the sunshine outside the window was bright, it could not penetrate the haze inside her.
The corners of her mouth drooped and her brows furrowed, revealing an indescribable level of exhaustion and anxiety.
After seeing Yasushi Aragaki and Yuta Kurokawa walk into the student union room, Mashiro Fujiwara subconsciously got up to make tea.
However, the next moment, Aragaki Yasushi's words made the sadness on Fujiwara Mashiro's face thicker.
"President Fujiwara, how many students did you take for this midterm exam?"
Aragaki Jing asked knowingly.
Kurokawa Yuta's body shook slightly.
The eyes looking at Aragaki Jing were full of confusion.
Fujiwara Mashiro's hands were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were slightly white, showing her inner anxiety.
With such a big notice board in front of the teaching building, Fujiwara Mashiro can naturally see it.
Naturally, she would know Aragaki Yasushi's ranking in this midterm exam.
Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the famous Fujiwara clan, she probably already knew the details of each student's scores when the Jindai-in results were first sorted out.
What? You talk about privacy!
In front of a truly privileged class like them, even the students of Jindaiin find it difficult to talk about the so-called right to privacy.
Fujiwara Mashiro's midterm exam results ranked seventh in the school. Although he was higher than Aragaki Yasu, it was not far behind.
The difference is just one point.
But this result was like a mirror, reflecting Fujiwara Mashiro's inner fear, and like a sharp blade, piercing her heart.
As the eldest daughter of the famous Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Mashiro felt an unprecedented pressure at this moment.
She knows very well that her achievements are not only related to personal honor, but also related to the glory of her family.
In this family, she is burdened with countless expectations and responsibilities, and any failure may become a flaw in the eyes of others.
Her breathing became rapid, and there was an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
She didn't want to accept this reality, but she couldn't avoid it. She didn't want to face her failure.
Ranked seventh in the school...
Her elders in her family were dissatisfied with her original admission score, which was ranked third in the school.
In their view, as a noble girl, Fujiwara Mashiro can only be worthy of her noble status by being number one in the school.
However, in the first major exam after the first semester, Fujiwara Mashiro's grades did not improve but fell back.
For her, it was undoubtedly a huge shame.
However, at this time, Fujiwara Mashiro took a deep breath and walked to the cupboard to make tea.
"Didn't Araguan General Secretary look at the results column when he came downstairs?"
"My grades are one grade higher than yours."
Fujiwara Mashiro's voice sounded colder than usual.
"President Fujiwara's grades have dropped drastically. Do you want to join our after-school study meeting?"
Aragaki Yasushi said seemingly unintentionally.
"Study meeting?"
Fujiwara Mashiro's fingers held the teaspoon a little harder.
"Aragaki-san, let's pass me first."
Fujiwara Mashiro's voice was as cold as ever.
"I'm on the rise."
"Although President Fujiwara is on top of me this time, I may be hard on him next time."
Aragaki Yasu joked.
Fujiwara Mashiro probably didn't hear the implication, or simply didn't want to pay attention to Aragaki Yasu.
She didn't answer, just making tea silently.
Kurokawa Yuta asked curiously at this time.
"What study session? Can I join?"
"Dah me."
Aragaki Jing shook his finger.
"You are prohibited from participating in the impart."
"Okay, okay, you're bullying the bad students, right?"
Kurokawa Yuta said bitterly after hearing this.
"Wrong, I'm just bullying you."
After the student union was disbanded, when Aragaki walked out of the school gate, he met Takehara Maki who had just finished his duty.
"Maki, let's go home together."
Takehara Maki nodded and did not refuse.
She didn't work part-time at the convenience store this afternoon, mainly because she had to be on duty as a disciplinary committee member this afternoon.
After finishing duty, there is no time to work part-time, unless it is night shift.
The two took the tram towards the apartment.
Probably because most students have gone home by this time, and there are many empty seats on the tram.
However, Takehara Maki still sat close to Aragaki Yasushi.
Smelling the scent of Aragaki's body, Takehara Maki and Aragaki got closer, and unknowingly sat on Aragaki's lap.
At some point, Takehara Maki suddenly became so bold.
Suddenly, Takehara Maki leaned forward and gently kissed Aragaki Yasu's earlobe. This move made Aragaki Yasu slightly surprised.
Takehara Maki reached out and stroked his cheek, and lightly traced Aragaki Yasushi's lips with her fingers.
Aragaki could feel the warmth and slight trembling of her fingers.
"I'm hungry."
Takehara Maki whispered in Aragaki Yasushi's ears, with a hint of coquettishness and charm in her voice.
Aragaki Jing's heartbeat actually started to accelerate slightly.
