Ryuji: "😐"
Seeing Ryuji's deflated appearance, Mai secretly felt refreshed.
Either way, find confidence in this man.
"Are you kidding?" Ryuji asked back.
"That was just a joke, but now I'm sure." Mai smiled.
"…Mai's character is really bad."
"One another."
Putting the student council matter aside, even if a new president were to be elected, it would be half a term later.
Now Ryuji faces a very important matter, the midterm exams!
Of course, with his academic level, he wouldn't worry about grades, all he cared about were the quintuplets!
After teaching them for nearly a month, if his grades didn't improve at all, he would lose face.
In class, the teacher accidentally mentions things related to midterm exams.
"Don't make small movements during the exam, it all depends on your own strength!" The teacher gives pre-exam education in a relaxed manner.
In fact, it has no effect, and those who are going to cheat will still cheat.
"In addition, those who do not score 30 points in this exam will not be considered passed."
Japan's passing score is not 60% of the total score, but half the average score of the whole class!
So in general, if you pass the exam with fifty points, you will definitely pass.
Grades are uneven, and a passing mark of 30 isn't too low.
For Ryuji, a test paper that could be skipped at will, but for the quintuplets, it was extremely difficult.
"Looks like we need to add more ingredients." Ryuji frowned helplessly.
....
While he was teaching at Nakano's house, Ryuji mentioned about this midterm.
"To be honest, with your current grades, you should only be able to pass one or two subjects," Ryuji said bluntly.
"Hah? So we're really great?" Yotsuba were surprised.
It used to be very difficult for them to pass just one subject.
"...Is there anything to be proud of just passing one or two subjects?" Ryuji complained.
"Forget it, you just need to perform at your normal level. After that, there will be the end of the semester…"
*Ding Ding!*
Someone's cell phone suddenly rang, which was very noticeable in this environment.
"Sorry..." Itsuki blushed and lowered her head.
"It's fine, you can answer the phone first." Ryuji said.
He saw the words 'Dad' on the phone screen, and probably wanted to explain something.
Itsuki nodded and connected the phone.
"Hello, dad? We're at home. Hyakki-kun? He's here too. Do you want him to answer the phone?"
Feeling slightly flustered, Itsuki handed the phone over to Ryuji.
"Call our father." Itsuki reminded in a low voice.
Ryuji nodded and took the phone.
"I am Hyakki Ryuji, please tell me."
"Hyakki-kun, it's a shame I haven't seen you all this time." A deep male voice came from the phone.
"You are being polite. I don't know what you can do with me at this time?" Ryuji asked directly.
"Then let me tell you directly, how are my five daughters?"
The question is indeed quite direct!
Ryuji didn't hide anything, and answered honestly.
"It's much better than before."
"Really, the midterm exams are coming up, can I see the results?"
"Should be possible." Ryuji nodded.
The performance of the quintuplets is indeed much better than before, and it should have no problem appearing normally.
"Very good. I hope that each of them will pass the semester exams in every subject."
"... Are you kidding?" Ryuji raised his eyebrows.
Don't you have an inkling in your mind about how your daughter is going to score?
Passing every subject is possible in the future, but for now... Let's sleep.
"Can't it be done?" The man on the other end thought for a moment, "Then skip half of the subject. If you can't do it... Then I can only hire another tutor. After all, I have to take responsibility for my daughter."
"Oh."
It must be said that Nakano's father put forward a condition that made Ryuji's heart flutter.
If it had been before, he would have agreed to the dismissal without saying a word.
But now... Let's work a little harder, if they can't do it, they will do their best, and they won't feel guilty.
After talking on the phone with the father of the quintuplets, Ryuji returned the phone to Itsuki.
"Did dad say anything (about money)?" Asked Itsuki.
Ryuji didn't hide anything, he just said it.
"Your father said that if you fail to pass more than half of the subjects in this midterm, I will be fired."
"Eh?"
"Why is it like this!"
The quintuplets showed shocked expressions.
"I'll tell Dad!" Nino was so angry that she almost called her father directly.
"No need." Ryuji stopped her, "I made a deal, if I break it, I will underestimate myself."
