She's usually fine, but can't perform normally during exams. This practice test is okay, but if the actual exam tomorrow is still like this, it will be dangerous.
"One C grade, two D grades, but if you can get a C for the Faculty of Policy Management, you can still get into Keio."
Aki Tomoya said seriously.
Not being able to perform normally in the first practice test is the first problem Kudo Sayaka encountered this year.
But fortunately, it was just a practice test.
Everything is ultimately just preparation for the actual exam. Before that, there's still a chance.
"Haa, you're lecturing me again..."
Kudo Sayaka said with a wry smile.
Getting overly nervous in the exam hall, resulting in unstable performance, her deviation value which had finally climbed up dropped several points, and her first choice, Keio Faculty of Literature, only got a D grade, meaning the possibility is minuscule.
If it were a C, at least there would still be a possibility, and she would feel some comfort.
Compared to Kudo Sayaka, Furuhashi Fumino's science exam this time passed smoothly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, Dad probably won't say those things anymore..."
Furuhashi Fumino was immersed in her practice test evaluation.
The reason she attached so much importance to passing the practice test this time was mainly because not only the school but also her family was putting pressure on her.
After the first national practice test ended, the Academy adjusted each person's situation based on their results.
Around this time last year, Aomine Cram School only had Mr. Tsubota as a cram school instructor, and his workload was unusually heavy.
This year, Harumi Junko is already a qualified cram school instructor and can now handle the other half of the workload at the Academy.
Compared to an Academy with only one cram school instructor, having an additional one provides better tutoring results.
Looking at the desired schools based on the practice evaluation of the first unified test.
For example, Kudo Sayaka's C grade for the Faculty of Policy Management, that truly has hope.
As for Aki Tomoya's 3 C's, they are more for psychological comfort.
The people who can list Todai Faculty of Science III, Shuntendo University School of Medicine, and Keio Faculty of Medicine as their desired schools are a tough bunch, different from the people Aki Tomoya is competing with.
A few days after the practice test results came out, Aki Tomoya and the people around him had more or less adjusted their mindset.
After this, it was soon time to welcome the graduation ceremony.
The night before the graduation ceremony, Kasumigaoka Utaha casually prepared her speech as the graduation representative. After finishing, she walked to the window, looking at the dark sky and contemplating something.
After passing the written exam, she had also already passed the interview for Keio Faculty of Literature. Kasumigaoka Utaha had confirmed she would enter Keio University Faculty of Literature after graduation.
"I already said I'm going to Keio, but Eriri is still asking. What does she take me for..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled Eriri repeatedly asking her in the past few days if she was really going to Keio, which made her feel a bit helpless.
If she really planned to repeat a year, thinking of desperately pursuing a man, she wouldn't have turned around to apply for Keio again.
She felt that Eriri was clearly overthinking things.
Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't need romance right now. She should focus on doing her current tasks well first.
Buzz buzz buzz—
The phone on the bed rang. Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly walked over, picked up the phone, and confirmed the caller was her Vice Editor, Machida Sonoko.
She answered the call. The other party told her about the spring break promotion and interview matters, asking for her opinion.
After a brief consideration, Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed. Afterwards, she also asked about Eriri's plans.
As long as Eriri didn't have to show her face, she could cooperate with many things.
After finishing the tasks at hand and resting for a night, Kasumigaoka Utaha put on her uniform the next day and left early.
March twenty-seventh.
The last day in uniform.
After the graduation ceremony on this day, Kasumigaoka Utaha will officially graduate from private Toyosaki Academy and then enter Keio in April.
"Good morning, Kasumigaoka-san."
Probably because of the graduation ceremony, the third-year students all arrived very early today.
"Good morning."
The third-year graduation ceremony started being prepared last week.
It's now 7:40 AM, and there's only a little over two hours left until the 10 AM graduation ceremony.
"We're looking forward to the graduation representative's speech, Kasumigaoka-san."
People passing by spoke to Kasumigaoka Utaha with anticipation.
No matter what school assembly it was, Kasumigaoka Utaha was always on stage, except for the closing ceremony last semester.
As the popular talented girl of the entire Toyosaki Academy, Kasumigaoka Utaha's popularity had completely exploded on graduation day, after all, she was graduating.
For this, the only thing Kasumigaoka Utaha could be thankful for was that no idiot confessed to her today.
Sentiments before graduation, and sighs for the impending separation.
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have many people she could call friends at Toyosaki Academy. Her solitary nature made her like a flower on a high peak, admirable but out of reach.
However, she did make friends, or rather, companions.
"If only I could get his button."
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly heard a girl talking about buttons.
If a girl can get the second button on a boy's uniform on graduation day, she will gain his true feelings...
The second button representing true feelings, this custom is often mentioned at graduation ceremonies, and some people do it.
Many people dated during high school, and confessions often happened around the time of graduation.
Especially on graduation day, it can be said that incidents frequently occur...
"The second button, believing in such things..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha gently shook her head, thinking this custom was nothing but comfort.
Who can guarantee that they will always be together in the future?
All the students have arrived at school. The last day of the third semester, the third-year graduation ceremony.
On the second-year side, Aki Tomoya had already followed his classmates out of the classroom and headed to the gymnasium, preparing to attend today's third-year graduation ceremony.
Eriri and her classmates were right behind Aki Tomoya and his group. At the beginning of the school year, although their relationship being public caused quite a few rumors in the school, the commotion died down shortly after because neither of them paid any attention to it.
No one further questioned the relationship between Eriri and Aki Tomoya, after all, there wasn't any excitement to be had.
"Aki Tomoya, give me your second button!"
A voice sounded from the front, causing Eriri to stumble momentarily, then look in the direction of the voice with surprise.
Eriri knew about the number of buttons, but what surprised her wasn't that someone wanted Aki Tomoya's button, but that the voice just now was a male's.
"Are you looking for a beating?"
Aki Tomoya, walking ahead, glared at Kamigō Yoshihiko in annoyance.
It was because of his joke that many people were now looking over.
