"..."

Hearing Hoshino Aiki's "kind" reminder, Kiritani Tetsuya instantly felt like he was being teased.

"Do you have an eraser?"

After a while, Kiritani Tetsuya looked at the girl's delicate and flawless face and said.

"No."

Hoshino Aihime answered decisively, obviously seeing that the other party wanted to change the number he just wrote down.

"I don't believe you don't make typos in normal times?"

Kiritani Tetsuya expressed serious doubts about the girl's answer.

"Because unlike some people, I will only write when I am absolutely sure, and the answers I write will not be easily modified." The girl responded with an indifferent expression.

"And since you have written this, it means that you think you have the ability to be number one in your grade. Why should you easily erase this confidence?"

"Or will your strength be affected just because of my words?"

"I just don't want to go to the exam with inexplicable extra pressure."

Kiritani Tetsuya responded truthfully, thinking about whether to add one or two more 0s to the right of the 1.

"Especially this kind of pressure without any positive feedback."

"Positive feedback? It turns out you dislike it because there are only punishments and no rewards."

Hoshino Aihime looked a little surprised at this.

"That's not what I meant..."

Kiritani Tetsuya quickly clarified.

But before he could say this, he was interrupted by Hoshino Aiki's next sentence.

"Otherwise, we can take advantage of this monthly test to compete with each other, whether it's ranking or deviation values."

"I don't know what this has to do with what we just talked about?"

Kiritani Tetsuya felt baffled by the girl's impromptu suggestion, and asked instead of answering the next moment.

"If anyone wins, they can ask the other party to do something."

Of course, in response to his inquiry, Hoshino Aihime continued talking as if she ignored him completely.

At this time, Kiritani Tetsuya raised his eyebrows slightly, his face looked a little surprised, and he suddenly felt a little interested.

This change in demeanor was quickly noticed by the girl in front of him.

"And I told you in advance that if you lose, I will ask you to come to my place every week this semester and participate in future tutoring activities regularly."

Catching the curiosity and wavering that finally appeared in Kiritani Tetsuya's eyes, Hoshino Aiji suddenly felt a small sense of pleasure in gaining the upper hand, and then continued to speak as if pursuing victory.

"Of course, if, I mean if, if you win, you can think carefully about what you want me to do, but when thinking about this, please first think about what you think about when you look at my legs.

Be careful and put it away."

"cough."

Seeing Hoshino Aihime mention this matter again, Kiritani Tetsuya coughed subconsciously.

"This way, there will be both rewards and punishments."

At this time, the girl finally stopped talking, and her crystal clear eyes once again looked at Kiritani Tetsuya in front of her.

"It does sound more interesting than just letting me continue with tutoring."

"So you agreed."

"Do I have the right to refuse? But there is another question that I haven't mentioned yet. What if we both get first place in the exam?"

Kiritani Tetsuya said slightly helplessly, and then raised his own question.

"It's better to say that I think this kind of thing is still very likely to happen."

"Then let's see who has more points ahead of the second place."

"In this case, I have no problem."

Hearing this, Kiritani Tetsuya nodded slightly, and finally gave up the idea of ​​adding a few fractions next to the number he wrote.

"Then I'll take it as your consent."

After the words fell, Hoshino Aihime reached out and took the opinion form filled out by Kiritani Tetsuya.

Although Kiritani Tetsuya was watching the entire process of filling out the opinion form, Hoshino Aihime still symbolically glanced through the contents of the form, especially the part where she evaluated herself.

"If you lose to me in this monthly test, please remember to continue coming here at the same time next week."

After quickly reading the form in her hand, the girl slightly raised her pretty face and said one last word before Kiritani Tetsuya left.

"Don't worry, three visits to this place is enough for me."

Kiritani Tetsuya stood up and responded.

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the door of the student union office as he had nothing else to do here.

After closing the door of the student council president's office, Kiritani Tetsuya quickly walked out of the complex.

If nothing else, this should be the last time he comes here.

Therefore, when he actually stepped out of the gate of the complex, Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't help but exhaled softly, and he suddenly felt that the pressure was partially relieved.

You probably won’t come again, right?

While relaxing his body and mind, Kiritani Tetsuya muttered to himself, and his steps continued to move.

Although it was already after school time, Kiritani Tetsuya still planned to go to the school building before going back because some things were left in the classroom.

Perhaps it is because of the upcoming exams. Except for the club members who are still training on the playground, there are obviously fewer students wandering around on the campus today, making the walkway to the school building even more empty than usual. Instead, there is a sense of

A tense atmosphere that usually only occurs before exams.

After returning to the classroom of Grade 11, Kiritani Tetsuya found that Ibuki Tamao and Ono Yuki were still in the classroom.

The former was writing and drawing in a sketchbook with a pencil, seeming to be imagining the content and themes of a new work, while the latter was seriously reviewing the lessons he had learned in the past few weeks.

"Kiritani-san, you are back so early."

Seeing Tetsuya Kiritani, who was receiving after-school tutoring like him, return to the classroom so quickly, Ono Yuki briefly looked up from the math textbook he had been reading for a while, with a slightly surprised look on his face.

"Well, I filled out a form and it came out."

"It seems that we are all the same. I originally thought that before the exam they would tell us some types of questions that are likely to be tested in the monthly test."

After listening to Kiritani Tetsuya's answer, Ono Yuki sighed softly and said with a slightly disappointed tone.

"But Kiritani-san's grades are already pretty good. For you and Ibuki-san, this kind of exam shouldn't be stressful."

"No, actually I'm quite stressed."

Facing Ono Yuki's somewhat envious sigh, Kiritani Tetsuya paused and said.

Originally, he was not stressed before attending today's tutoring session.

But since he accepted the competition proposed by Hoshino Aiki, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.

After all, this time he not only has to strive to get the first place in this grade, but also has to open a certain gap with the second place, so as to ensure that he has an advantage in the competition with this divine girl.

Otherwise, what awaits him will be after-school tutoring activities that last for most of the semester.

At this moment, there was a competitor in this classroom who was more difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't help but stop next to Ibuki Tamao's seat and glanced at the girl who was drawing lines on the paper, as well as the content of the painting she was drawing.
