In the classroom, Nakano Itsuki was eating her breakfast, a meat bun.
Although she felt a bit sad inside, breakfast still had to be eaten.
Mochizuki soon entered the classroom as well.
He came to May's seat, wanting to ask how May's grades were, as he didn't have time to check just now.
However, Mochizuki didn't have high expectations for her grades anyway.
"How were your midterm exam grades, May?"
"Mmm..." Nakano Itsuki's mouth was full of meat buns.
Seeing this, Mochizuki picked up a meat bun from May's desk and also took a bite.
I have to say, the meat buns were quite fragrant, and tasted even better when eaten.
The meat filling was tender and juicy, leaving a lingering taste with every bite.
Might as well ask where she bought them.
As for May, she picked up the soy milk beside her, took a sip, and finally swallowed the meat bun in her mouth.
Then, May spoke up discontentedly, "Not helping me get water is one thing! But you even snatched my meat bun."
"Hehe... How were your grades?" Mochizuki changed the subject, planning to gloss over it.
"Hmph, didn't you look at the ranking list?"
"I did, but I didn't have time to see yours."
While speaking, Mochizuki took another bite of the bun.
"Then I won't tell you! That's for snatching my bun."
...
"Mahiru, do you know?"
Seeing that May was unwilling to tell him, Mochizuki could only ask Shiina Mahiru, who was beside her.
"Eh... I..."
Shiina Mahiru, who was suddenly called by name, was caught a bit off guard.
She didn't expect Mochizuki to directly call her name in the classroom.
She had just seen the grades of May and Miku.
All she could say was that the results were not satisfactory...
Moreover, if she said it now, May would lose face...
May also looked nervously at Shiina Mahiru, hoping that Shiina Mahiru didn't know either.
Under their gaze, Shiina Mahiru guiltily shifted her gaze.
"I didn't really see it either."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Everyone, quickly return to your seats, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher is here!"
At this moment, a student reported the news.
Hearing that Shizuka Hiratsuka was coming to teach, everyone no longer dared to chat.
This made both May and Shiina Mahiru breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially Shiina Mahiru, she wasn't used to lying.
"Alright then, I'll find out sooner or later anyway."
"Bleah..." May made a face at Mochizuki, then quickly put away her meat bun, she didn't dare challenge Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's authority either.
A rhythmic "tap-tap-tap" sound gradually approached.
Everyone knew it was the sound of Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's high heels.
And listening to the sound, it seemed a bit ominous!
Soon, the sound of high heels came to an abrupt halt.
Shizuka Hiratsuka arrived at the classroom entrance, paused for a moment, scanned the classroom, and after seeing everyone sitting neatly in their seats.
Only then did Shizuka Hiratsuka step towards the podium again and put down the test papers in her hand.
"The Japanese Language class representative, please help me hand out the test papers, thank you."
A boy nervously came to the front, picked up the test papers, and quickly distributed them, he didn't dare to be slow.
Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's demeanor, it seemed the students' grades were somewhat unsatisfactory this time!
Under this strange atmosphere, Nakano Itsuki felt somewhat tormented...
Under the influence of her classmates, May also knew the terrifying aspects of Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher.
Especially since her Japanese Language grade wasn't good this time, although her grades in other subjects weren't much better.
What's more, her seat was in the front row, just over a meter away from Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Thinking this way, May became even more scared and couldn't help but grip the meat bun in her drawer tightly.
As for good students like Shiina Mahiru, they were quite confident about their grades and weren't afraid.
As for someone like Mochizuki, he was completely fearless...
