Maybe it was just an illusion, but Ryuji always felt that Mafuyu had a vague sense of hostility towards him.
"Principal, I think it's too hasty to let a student who is still in his 2nd year of high school be a tutor," Mafuyu said coldly.
This is indeed hostile!
Even though that's normal.
It's a bit ridiculous to ask a student to be a tutor, especially since Ryuji is only in his second year of high school.
"This..."
It wasn't that the Principal didn't take this into consideration, he also acknowledged Ryuji's abilities before letting him take over the tutoring job.
Of course, that also means fun.
In the Principal mind, Ryuji was associated with the Shinomiya family, and this was the least he could do to please the Shinomiya family name.
But Mafuyu was an assistant, and her opinion couldn't be completely ignored.
"Oh? What does Kirisu Sensei suggest?" Ryuji raised his eyebrows.
"Just take a small test after half a month. If you can't reach the average score, you will give up your coaching duties," Mafuyu said.
This plot seems familiar!
Ryuji was speechless. Didn't this happen to him last semester?
Do tutoring students experience such troublesome incidents?
"They are not children anymore. It's up to them to decide who they want to teach. Please don't treat them like objects and use them as bargaining chips!"
Ryuji suddenly made a very honest statement.
Mafuyu was surprised, Ryuji's words brought back memories.
She used to have her own interests and hobbies, but gave them up when adults told her the 'right' way.
If she didn't give up by then... This was a meaningless assumption, Mafuyu denied in her heart.
"Are you afraid?" Mafuyu's eyes were sharp.
Ryuji sneered, "That's actually not the case."
"How about changing the bet?"
Mafuyu was a little interested.
"Just one condition, any condition!" Ryuji said.
Mafuyu wore a strange expression, thinking Ryuji was a low-level student.
"It's a shame that Minehara high school students have a student council president like you. If you lose, just withdraw," Mafuyu said coldly.
"Good." Ryuji nodded.
"What's your condition?" Mafuyu said.
She was already prepared for Ryuji's next request.
Even though the other party would definitely lose, hearing such a request still made her feel digusting.
"I have not think about it. Let's talk about it later," Ryuji waved his hand.
Mafuyu nodded, "Okay."
The Principal was completely silent and watched the end of the bet between the two.
…
"What, Hyakki-kun resigned as student council president?!"
Fumino said excitedly.
"Not necessarily, it depends on your grades."
As the person involved, Ryuji's reaction was boring.
He himself didn't really care about the position of student council president, at worst he would help Kaguya become vice president.
"But the next test is only half a month away, and our results…" Fumino looked embarrassed.
Their grades are a mess, let alone the average grades, they may not even reach double digits.
"Calm down, no need to panic now."
Rizu is more stable.
"...Ricchan, you turned your notes over."
"…"
After finding out about Ryuji's bet, neither Fumino nor Rizu can concentrate on their studies...
Ryuji was helpless and said: "How much you hope that I will resign."
"Ah, no…" Fumino wanted to explain.
Ryuji waved his hand and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I already made a bet with Kirisu Sensei, and there's no way I can go back on my word now."
He looked resigned, but Fumino and Rizu were more worried.
"As long as you can get through it, it's fine."
"If it was easy for us to get average scores, we wouldn't have so many tutors in a row," Fumino said sadly.
"There are still two weeks, there is still time," Ryuji said calmly.
"Truly?"
Both Rizu and Fumino responded with suspicion.
"Don't worry, in order to face this test, I decided to give you special training!"
"Special training?"
"Yeah, just this week, so be mentally prepared."
"Starting this week?" Fumino said in surprise.
Even though it was a bit sudden, both Fumino and Rizu chose to accept.
Ryuji even risked his position as student council president for their sake, so what reason did they have to not work hard.
With that, the three of them made study plans for the weekend.
Fumino and Rizu ask Ryuji about his study techniques, which puts him in a difficult position.
"Can't you learn this kind of thing just by looking at it?"
Fumino & Rizu: "😐"
Even those two geniuses were hit hard.
