Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: End-of-Month Pop Quiz

When Kanda Shuichi suddenly stood up from the stands, he didn't attract much attention. Only Hasebe Haruka, who was in front, looked up instinctively because the sunlight was blocked, and saw Kanda Shuichi's shocked face.

But soon, Kanda Shuichi realized he might be drawing attention, so he quickly sat back down.

What's up with this guy?

With this question in mind, Kanda Shuichi started observing below, but his eyes were not focused on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

He knew that if he focused on one person, the other person might notice.

Since the other person hadn't shown any outstanding skills in class for so long, it was possible they didn't want to reveal their abilities. So, Kanda Shuichi didn't want the other person to know that he had noticed their skills.

Soon, the PE teacher organized a swimming competition.

As a result, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's performance was surprisingly average, not the best, not the worst. Excluding Kanda Shuichi and another boy named Sotomura who didn't participate, he ranked tenth.

Was he hiding his skills?

Since the other party wants peace, don't provoke them. For someone with such monster-like physical abilities, Kanda Shuichi really doesn't want to provoke them without knowing their attitude.

Facing these guys, Kanda Shuichi estimates he wouldn't last a single move.

In the end, Takahara won first place in the swimming competition and received 5000 private points as a reward from the PE teacher. Sudou unfortunately only got second place.

On the girls' side, the first place was taken by Onodera from the swimming club, and the second place went to Horikita Suzune, who sits behind Kanda.

Although it was known that this guy's physical fitness was good, it was unexpected that he was this strong.

As daily activities went on, time quickly reached the end of the month.

During this month, Kanda Shuichi went to school regularly, participated in club activities, and ate meat and vegetables to supplement his nutrition.

Then his weak body gradually filled out.

In just one month, his weight increased by 5 pounds. His previously frail appearance now had some flesh, at least he didn't look particularly thin anymore.

The progress in club activities was also significant. Although he couldn't start from scratch to make a bow from wood, he had no problem maintaining a finished bow, just his skill level needed improvement.

Thanks to practicing and maintaining the finished bow every day, Kanda Shuichi's arms have grown a little bit more muscular.

Well, he's one step closer to his goal of beating Kamuro Masumi to the ground with his own strength! That's an exciting scene to think about! Come on, Kanda Shuichi!

And then, Kanda Shuichi was given the classroom quiz she was supposed to take as a student.

"Quiet down - I'm going to need you all to be a little more attentive in class today."

"What's going on-? Sae chan sensei."

After a month of spending time together, Chabashira-sensei's majesty had swept away, and someone was actually able to call her by Sauce already... was she usually too approachable?

So she's not far away from becoming a little girl to be dressed up?

The high strung OL woman was dressed in a costume that didn't fit her age and status, and her normally expressionless face showed a humiliated shyness! I want to see it!

What's the word! What kind of words are these!

This is not an 18+ novel!

"Since it's the end of the month, we will have a small test. Pass it back."

Then, the cold female teacher handed a stack of test papers to the first person in each row, and they passed them back one by one.

Soon, Kanda Shuichi faced his first test in this world.

A small test, as the name suggests, is a small-scale exam. The test paper, which should have been 100 points for each subject, was combined into one.

Five main subjects, each with a few questions, totaling 100 points.

"Huh? You didn't say there would be a test. That's sneaky."

Huh? Isn't it normal for students to have tests?

Even if there was a test once a month or even once a week, Kanda Shuichi would find it reasonable.

"This test will only be used as a reference for the future and won't be reflected in your report card, so there's no risk. Don't worry. However, cheating is strictly prohibited."

Of course, cheating on a test is like deceiving yourself, right?

The five subjects were Japanese, Math, English, Science, and Social Studies.

After quickly reviewing the questions, Kanda Shuichi had a rough idea.

First, Japanese and English. These language subjects were difficult for the previous Kanda Shuichi, but the current Kanda Shuichi had eaten the translation konjac.

This thing not only worked for languages but also for understanding text. Language subjects were a piece of cake.

Next was Math. Although he hadn't done math problems for a long time, the thinking process should be the same. Plus, with a month of study, it wasn't a problem.

Science included Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. In his home country, it was called Integrated Science. Simple and easy.

Finally, Social Studies, which included History, Geography, and Political Economy. This was a tough one for Kanda Shuichi.

Kanda Shuichi had only read textbooks from high school onwards and hadn't looked at any textbooks before high school. His life had been too busy recently, so he hadn't thought about catching up on this subject.

And coincidentally, the things on this test weren't covered in high school.

But luckily, even though he hadn't studied these things, there were some hints in the textbooks.

Since it was multiple-choice, he just picked an option that seemed right.

Chabashira-sensei, like most teachers, wandered around during the test.

Hey!

Stop wandering!

I know you're hinting at me!

It's not like I did nothing for a month. You don't have to be like this. At worst, let Hirata return the points to you.

Chabashira frowned as she watched Kanda Shuichi answer the questions.

She couldn't imagine someone who mastered Japanese, Math, English, and Science so well would struggle with Social Studies.

The test time quickly passed, and as soon as the class ended, Kanda Shuichi slumped on the desk.

"Things you don't know are just things you don't know. Social Studies, why is there such a meaningless subject?"

"Huh? Shuichi isn't good at liberal arts either?"

Miyake in front immediately turned around and joined the conversation.

"Well, I'm confident in Japanese and English, but Social Studies is tough."

Kanda Shuichi mumbled while lying on the desk.

"If you just read the books carefully, you'll naturally understand it."

The conversation between Kanda Shuichi and Miyake Akito seemed to catch the attention of Horikita Suzune behind them. After all, in this area, Horikita Suzune, the top student, had absolute authority.

"Are you talking to me?"

Kanda Shuichi got up from the table and turned his head in confusion. We usually don't interact much, right?

"Just a kind reminder."

In fact, Horikita Suzune originally wanted to mock Kanda Shuichi for not knowing such simple knowledge because he had previously said that Horikita Manabu was pretending to be mysterious during the club introduction meeting.

However, Kanda Shuichi didn't seem to be angry, making her feel like she had punched a pillow.

"So, can this kind person tell me how to learn about society?"

To be honest, as a Chinese person in his previous life, Kanda Shuichi had ingrained the importance of good grades into his soul. Asking questions was not something to be ashamed of.

You, Horikita Suzune, are obviously a top student, so let me learn from your opinion.

"That kind of thing is very simple, right? Just memorize the textbook."

...

What you said makes so much sense that I can't refute it.
