The craze for studying also affected everyone in the Student Council.
In the Student Council room, everyone except Fujiwara Chika was seriously reviewing knowledge points. Even Ishigami Yu was being tutored one-on-one by Uchiha Ryo.
"....Isn't everyone's attitude towards me a bit too excessive recently? Even if you are studying, you shouldn't forget your friends!"
Fujiwara Chika stood up and broke the silent deadlock in the Student Council.
Uchiha Ryo raised his head silently. "Is that so.... how should I say this, this isn't ostracizing you, but I'm a bit unsure how to communicate with a girl who wears a bald headgear."
"I told you that was just a prank! I usually don't wear that kind of thing!"
Fujiwara Chika turned to look at everyone, found that no one spoke up to defend her, so she pointed at Uchiha Ryo and continued.
"Campus ostracism is the worst! Always accurately saying embarrassing things about others, Uchiha-san, you are really terrible! Hypocrite! A bad person who only hides behind [justice]!"
Ishigami Yu sitting beside Uchiha Ryo sighed. "Senpai, you are disturbing my study. Do you think playing around is more important than studying at this time!"
"Ugh.... It's fine if others say it, but to be told [studying is more important] by Ishigami-kun...."
Ishigami Yu closed the workbook. "Besides, it's a fact that you wore a bald headgear, right? Since you did it, don't be afraid of others talking about it, okay?"
"Hmph, anyway, I'm very unhappy. Isn't class ostracism caused by this! Because of family or some personal reasons, leading to being constantly joked about by everyone, you don't know how to respect me at all!"
Ishigami Yu's expression was serious.
"First of all, we won't laugh at anyone because of family reasons. As for yourself.... Is there any unspeakable reason for wearing a bald headgear? Wasn't it for a prank? This is not called ostracism at all, but called [reaping what one sows]."
"....."
Fujiwara Chika ran to Shinomiya Kaguya in tears and complained.
"Clearly... clearly it wasn't like this at the beginning. The Student Council was so quiet and peaceful, everyone treated me gently...."
Fujiwara Chika, with tears and voice, touched the gentle side of others present with her strength. Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking whether to comfort her friend. Then she saw Fujiwara Chika wipe the corner of her eyes and continue.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm still very popular outside the Student Council! So I need to make you change your opinion of me once!"
"So everyone stop studying for now, let's play the new game developed by our Tabletop Game Club~"
"....."
Shinomiya Kaguya fell into silence, and Shirogane Miyuki supported his forehead with one hand. "So you just want us to play games with you, right!"
Where is the pitiful appearance of Fujiwara Chika in front of them just now? Even her eyes are not moist at all. Uchiha Ryo even felt that Fujiwara-san was wasted in the Tabletop Game Club, go to the Drama Club to show yourself.....
Ishigami Yu, who rested for a moment, lowered his head again and opened the exercise book. "Forget about games, you guys still have more than a month until the exam, but I only have two weeks left."
Fujiwara Chika tutted. "Except for Ishigami-kun, I would believe anyone else saying this. Just you will study hard? Could it be that you have your eye on some limited edition game, found that you can't buy it, and want to save up credits to let the school buy it?"
"Well.... pretty much."
"Hahaha, sure enough! But Ishigami, your family runs a toy business, right? If you can't even buy the game, the credits from your grades are impossible~"
Fujiwara Chika mocked, then realized no one really played games with her, so she had to sit down quietly....
"Actually, I review properly at home. Recently, Dad said if I fall out of the top 100 in the grade, my pocket money will be deducted. I don't want to use precious extra credits to exchange for scholarships. (Because the 100th place can't exchange for much....)"
This is a lie—
This woman will secretly ask her grandfather for pocket money. After all, due to intergenerational affection, Grandfather Fujiwara often secretly gives money to his granddaughters.
The book she is reading now is also a novel outside the curriculum. Fujiwara Chika is not affected by this study craze at all!
Shirogane Miyuki smiled. "You guys are too desperate. Occasionally having fun with classmates at school is not bad. If reviewing, you can read books at home."
This is a lie—
This man, his father has recently made the live streaming industry booming at home, and has even become a somewhat famous blogger. The already small Shirogane house is even noisier, making Shirogane Miyuki unable to study seriously. So only at school!
Only the quiet atmosphere of the school can allow Shirogane Miyuki to concentrate and start charging for the first place!
Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Fujiwara Chika reading a novel and Uchiha Ryo.
"But school indeed allows people to study peacefully. Going to the library can acquire professional knowledge faster. But exams or whatever, just let nature take its course, no need to study desperately at home."
This is a lie—
This woman has long seen the overflowing library and school study rooms. Even in the Student Council, her gaze would involuntarily be attracted by the mischievous Fujiwara Chika and Uchiha Ryo, so she urgently wants to go home to study! Only home can make her concentrate!
As for letting nature take its course? You all go play, leave the grinding work to me alone!
The door of the Student Council was suddenly pushed open. The person coming was Principal Adolphe Pescarolo who started the study craze.
"Oh haha, everyone is studying seriously, not bad, not bad. But studying also needs a balance of work and rest. The difficulty of this final exam is similar to usual, just relax for the exam."
This is a lie—
This old man has already calculated the birth of the study craze. So in order to let these geniuses taste the truth that success cannot be achieved by short-term efforts, he specially adjusted the difficulty to the highest in the country for the same period!
Aren't those students aiming for credits? Then come with a fail deduction of credits, and other school rules deducting credits. It is estimated that those who want to make wishes will find their credits are still negative after the exam.
After the principal left, Fujiwara Chika, who pretended to pick up the textbook, switched back to the extracurricular book.
"Hey, Ishigami, I thought you were also pretending to study. Wouldn't be just acting for everyone to see at school, right? Resulting in still playing games when returning home."
Ishigami Yu exhaled a long breath. "No, I'm serious about wanting to study this time."
This is the truth—
Just as Fujiwara Chika mentioned class ostracism just now, who does she think has experienced it the most among those present?
Ishigami Yu is essentially an otaku who dislikes socializing and is immersed in loneliness. Although animals are accustomed to living in groups, there are always lone wolves and wild bears, such lofty creatures that do not fit in.
But why would Ishigami Yu, who doesn't care about his grades or credits, doesn't care about classmates and his own lonely atmosphere, start studying seriously?
Perhaps he, who is used to being alone in the class, discovered that he would also be paid attention to by others.
