In island schools, classes will continue for a period of time after the final exam.

Without exams, students who are just waiting for their report cards and holidays treat every day of school as a class reunion.

In the past few days, Toru Watanabe, Osamu Kunii, and Keisuke Saito have been playing paper backgammon in the classroom.

Backgammon was given to Kazumi Ikeda as a gift when buying magazines. Girls didn’t want to play with it.

"Four o'clock, four o'clock." Osamu Kunii prayed while shaking the dice in his hand.

While waiting, Toru Watanabe's cell phone vibrated.

Kamikawa has no restrictions on mobile phones except in class, but when his grades drop, the second thing he does during the interview is to tell you tactfully:

How about trying to stay away from your phone for a while?

By the way, let me tell you the first thing - OOO cram school is good, OOO students, do you want to consider it?

The above is what Toru Watanabe has heard, and we cannot guarantee the authenticity of the sources.

"This time I wrote mathematics very, very smoothly! For the first time, I started to look forward to the test results!"

"Kumiko"

"What?"

"Tell you a reason why I am so good."

"I've already taken out the pen, please!"

"When you do something, until you succeed, you must remain calm but full of excitement."

"...I always feel like you deserve a spanking."

"You feel this way too? To be honest, I've been putting up with it for a long time!"

"Um?"

Just as Toru Watanabe was about to explain, a voice called him from the back door.

"Watanabe-san, come out for a moment." The voice was cold and sweet.

"No."

Watanabe Toru deleted the chat history on his mobile phone.

A trace of doubt flashed across Qingye Rin's face, which was loved by everyone.

"I have something to talk to you about."

"Let's talk about it after school if you have anything to do."

Qingye Rin became impatient, and his powerful gaze shot over like a sharp arrow:

"come out."

"Okay, Minister." Watanabe Toru stood up and walked over.

Behind him, Saito Keisuke and Kunii Osamu looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

Three steps away from Rin Kiyono, Toru Watanabe stopped: "What's the matter? If it's a confession, please allow me to refuse."

Looking at his appearance, Qingye Rin stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Have you done anything sorry for me?" she asked.

"What do you mean I'm sorry?"

"Talk bad about me?"

"Isn't something wrong?"

Kiyono Rin glared at him dissatisfied and said coldly: "Go back and tell Kujo-san that you can wear casual clothes for tomorrow's party."

After the exam, Kujo Miki completely disappeared from the campus.

In the past few days, Watanabe Toru went to Chiyoda, and she was busy lying in bed at night.

He even wondered if Kujo Miki was already dealing with matters for next year?

"Why do you, the eldest lady, let you personally tell me what to wear?" Toru Watanabe was confused.

"You are not the only one who wants to improve our relationship." A trace of ridicule appeared on Qingye Rin's lips, and then he said easily: "But now that I have you, I don't have to talk to her anymore."

Watanabe Toru nodded to indicate that he understood.

He suddenly remembered a possibility and asked casually:

"In that case, if one of you and Miki Kujo is a boy, wouldn't you want to get married?"

Kiyono Rin showed a nauseated expression for the first time.

Even so, it's still very cute!

It's so cute, just like an arrogant penguin, walking up to your feet with arrogant steps and pecking your feet.

Then, the penguin raised its head and looked at you with a "Are you scared?" look.

The Kiyono Rin in front of me is so cute.

"Even if there is a man and a woman, it is impossible for us to get married."

"Why?"

"You have time to say bad things about me, why not use your brain more?" Qingye Rin's voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't think about girls' legs all day long."

After Penguin Qingye said these words, he lifted up his long hair on his shoulders, turned around and left in an insolent manner.

"...How can I keep thinking about it? I only think about it for two hours every day." Watanabe Toru explained to her back, which was not far away.

This is the only thing that must be explained clearly.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Rin Kiyono suddenly seemed to be unable to walk, and then he quickened his pace to leave.

In such a joyful atmosphere, the time came to December 24th inadvertently.

Christmas Eve, the "holy night" among girls, is the last day before winter vacation.

Koizumi Aina stood on the podium holding the transcript.

Privately, she is very friendly and treats her students like a sister, but once she stands in that position, her beautiful oval face will deliberately put on a serious expression, and her voice will have the dignity of a teacher.

Such as now.

"Another year is about to pass. My classmates, the future is not out of reach. The three years of high school will pass in the blink of an eye."

"There is only a short third semester left for the first year of high school next year. Everyone must consider the grouping of arts and sciences as soon as possible."

She looked around and saw that the classroom was quiet.

Someone straightened his back and looked at her;

Some people lowered their heads and didn’t know what they were thinking;

Some people have packed their things long ago, just waiting to get their report cards, stuff them into their schoolbags, and go play quickly.

"In this final exam, students who want to go to liberal arts majors should take a good look at their liberal arts scores. Those who want to go to science majors should also take a look at their science scores, and then think carefully about what to do during the winter vacation."

"Sometimes interest is the best teacher, but following one's own talents is also a choice."

"Everyone is old, and should understand that one choice can affect your life."

"Also, whether you want to go to liberal arts or science, students who have a deviation score below 65 nationwide in this test..."

Koizumi Aina's eyes swept over certain people.

After a brief silence, she continued: "You have fallen out of the top 5% in the country."

"Achievement cannot determine life, but it cannot be an obstacle to everyone's life."

"The transcripts will be distributed next, and those students whose names are called will come up to collect them."

"Nakayama Rina!"

"have!"

"In front of Tamura House!"

"have!"

"Ikeda Kazumi!"

"have!"

...

"Toru Watanabe!"

"have!"

This is how Toru Watanabe's first year in Kamikawa ended.
