Shirogane Miyuki's expression visibly tensed, and his breathing became a little rapid.
He propped his hands on the table and said with a serious face.
"Fujiwara student, cramming at the last minute doesn't make much sense. Kaguya also said before that exams are meant to test one's true ability and don't require any revision."
He looked at Shinomiya Kaguya.
"You agree, right, Kaguya."
Shinomiya Kaguya showed a standard fake smile.
"Ara ara, President, you're wrong. People like us naturally don't need to revise, to achieve the goal of testing our own level.
But Fujiwara student rarely wants to study, and we can't stop her, can we?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's single sentence blocked Shirogane Miyuki.
"Fujiwara student, as friends, we should help each other. Let me help you."
"Kaguya-douchi, you are truly too kind."
Fujiwara Chika, moved, hugged Shinomiya Kaguya.
Shinomiya Kaguya hugged Fujiwara Chika's back and gave Shirogane Miyuki a very provocative look.
She now had a legitimate reason to study. When teaching Fujiwara Chika later, she would definitely take the opportunity to read her books.
[Fujiwara student, you truly are my best friend.]
Ishigami Yu: Fujiwara-senpai is actually starting to study. It looks like her online romance failed just now, and she's using studying to distract herself?
Anyway, I'm not studying, and it has nothing to do with me.
Perhaps stimulated by Tanaka Masao, Fujiwara Chika began to study seriously in the student council.
Shinomiya Kaguya earnestly tutored her. If one looked closely, they would find that while tutoring Fujiwara Chika, her eyes barely blinked, frantically absorbing knowledge.
When Shirogane Miyuki saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out. It felt as if countless small insects were crawling on him, making him very uncomfortable.
[No, I can't let this continue. If this goes on, I need to study, I need to study!]
"Ishigami, the exam is coming up, aren't you going to revise?"
Ishigami Yu shook his head, "No need, I am confident."
Shirogane Miyuki didn't give him a chance to refuse.
"That won't do. student council members have requirements for their academic performance. As President, I have an obligation to help you."
Under Ishigami Yu's unwilling gaze, he was forcibly pulled by Shirogane Miyuki for tutoring.
Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged glances, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Fujiwara Chika didn't notice any of this; she was just diligently studying, absorbing Shinomiya Kaguya's knowledge.
...
Meanwhile, at Tanaka.
Tanaka Masao stretched and yawned.
"I've finished revising. It seems I'm quite capable after all."
Yukinoshita Yukino pinched the corner of her eyes to relax.
"Your foundation is good, which is why you revised so quickly. But I'm curious, with this foundation, you shouldn't have been last in the entrance exam."
"Maybe I didn't perform well, who knows."
"There are still two days until the exam. Since you've pretty much finished revising, let's do practice problems for the remaining time."
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's suggestion, Tanaka Masao had no objections.
Doing practice problems, he was all too familiar with that.
"How many test papers should we do per subject each day?"
Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino was somewhat speechless.
"Where would we find so much time? It would be good if we could do one test paper per subject in the remaining two days."
"Only one set? Won't that be too little? I feel like it's not enough."
Tanaka Masao was a bit worried. In his previous life, at his peak, he could do two sets of test papers per subject each day.
"It won't be too little. The main thing for these two days is to pay attention and take notes during class. The teachers will be lecturing and helping with revision these two days, which will be very helpful for the exam.
I'll share my notes with you. Doing one test paper to see your shortcomings will be enough."
"Oh, then thank you, Xuezhixia Classmate."
Tanaka Masao's heart, which had been somewhat unsettled due to the lack of test papers to fill his time, now calmed down.
"By the way, Xuezhixia Classmate, you're supervising my diet and helping me revise. I should thank you too. How about after the exam, we go out together on the weekend?"
"Weekend…"
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, somewhat hesitant.
She was free on the weekend, but she was wondering whether or not to go out with Tanaka Masao.
However, she didn't need to hesitate for long, as Tanaka Masao's next sentence made her decision for her.
"Let's go to Tokyo. The Zoo there has two new pandas that seem to be very popular."
"It just so happens I have time on the weekend, so let's go together."
Upon hearing that it was to the Zoo to see pandas, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately agreed.
Cute creatures like pandas are already popular in Japan, and with the word 'cat' in their name, Yukinoshita Yukino, being a cat lover, simply couldn't refuse.
Tanaka Masao's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
He knew that inviting Yukinoshita Yukino to the Zoo to see pandas would surely get her to agree.
However, this was also thanks to their time spent together.
Otherwise, if he had invited her when they had just met, even if it was to see pandas, she wouldn't have agreed.
"Panda, what kind of creature is that?"
Kashi asked her question.
"Panda is a very cute creature."
Yukinoshita Yukino explained.
As soon as Kashi heard 'cute,' she immediately lost interest.
"What? I heard 'bear,' and I thought it was a very powerful creature."
"You're not wrong to say it's a powerful creature."
Tanaka Masao explained to Kashi.
"Pandas are also called Iron-Eating Beasts, and they were the mount of Chiyou, one of the Three Ancestors of Huaxia."
Just the name Iron-Eating Beast made Kashi feel that this panda was very formidable, and the name Chiyou gave her a sense of a demon god or war god, incredibly powerful.
Yukinoshita Yukino was also a little surprised, not expecting Tanaka Masao to know so much about pandas and Huaxia.
These facts might have been common knowledge to Tanaka Masao because of the environment he lived in during his previous life, where he was very familiar with them.
But abroad, some things you consider common knowledge are like secret histories to them, things they've never heard of.
Even Yukinoshita Yukino had only learned about pandas from encyclopedias, knowing their alias of Iron-Eating Beast, but she truly didn't know they were the mount of Chiyou, one of the Three Ancestors of Huaxia.
She wrote down the name, intending to go back and gather more information.
Tanaka Masao continued.
"So, don't let the panda's current lazy, adorable appearance fool you; its ancestors were fierce.
Grrr, super fierce."
Yukinoshita Yukino was amused by Tanaka Masao's playful demeanor, and a scene involuntarily popped into her mind.
A cute panda baring its teeth, making a 'I'm super fierce' expression.
[I somehow feel it's even cuter.]
Kashi also became interested in this panda.
"I also want to go to the Zoo to see this panda."
Since the seemingly powerful Chiyou could choose a panda as his mount, there must be a reason for it.
If she could also tame one…
Tanaka Masao looked at the little third wheel who wanted to join.
"Come if you want."
Never mind, taking Kashi along wouldn't have an impact.
Anyway, his relationship with Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't at that stage yet, and bringing Kashi along would make her more relaxed.
