"Here, Masumi, finish all of these."
Shiki Natsu had just arrived in the classroom when he took out several sheets of paper from his bag and handed them to Kamuro Masumi. If Shiki Natsu had been a bit lazier, he would have simply printed out every single question available, letting Kamuro Masumi treat the ones she knew as consolidation and the ones she didn't as training.
However, Shiki Natsu was quite benevolent and had no intention of letting Kamuro Masumi waste her ti. If the other party had been Horikita Suzune or Sakayanagi Arisu, Shiki Natsu planned to make them do a hundred papers just to practice their hand feel.
It was a pity... whether it was Sakayanagi Arisu or Horikita Suzune, both were good at studying, so he was completely useless to them.
"Thanks."
Kamuro Masumi took the papers and scanned the questions on them. Mn... basically, they were relatively difficult questions, and all of them had been modified.
After all, Shiki Natsu possessed 'Teaching Mastery', so the other party could understand what he taught one hundred percent. It was just that... if the content changed, there would still be so difficulties.
For example, in elentary school, one learns addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division from the teacher, but solving the 'chickens and rabbits in the sa cage' problem is still not simple.
Of course, if one used a dinsional strike—using variables directly—it would be much simpler.
Therefore, Shiki Natsu was making changes to the question types to help Kamuro Masumi gradually make up for her shortcomings.
"Ara, Shiki-san really attaches quite a lot of importance to the competition with , doesn't he?"
Sakayanagi Arisu walked over at this mont leaning on her cane. The feeling of leaning on a cane was truly unpleasant.
Especially after experiencing that sensation of her body feeling light and airy, Sakayanagi Arisu felt uncomfortable all over.
She wanted to be massaged again! She wanted to be massaged by Shiki Natsu again!
Even though Sakayanagi Arisu had only enjoyed Shiki Natsu's massage once, that feeling of floating in ecstasy was truly hard for her to forget.
Clearly, after that, Sakayanagi Arisu had hinted at it to Shiki Natsu, intentionally or unintentionally, but Shiki Natsu had ignored all of it. It was impossible for Shiki Natsu not to understand her thoughts; after all, the ti the two had spent getting along was considered quite long.
Mn, from the start of school until now, one month's ti. Sakayanagi Arisu appeared in Shiki Natsu's dormitory almost every day—didn't that count as long?
Moreover, the relationship between the two had reached the level of skinship. That's right, massage sessions counted too.
"Not at all. I'm rely helping Masumi improve her learning ability. After all, Masumi defeating you is sothing that's basically set in stone. Sakayanagi, you'd be better off worrying about yourself. By the way, my one hundred thousand personal points shouldn't have been spent yet, right?"
Shiki Natsu chuckled lightly. These words made Sakayanagi Arisu quite angry.
What did he an by 'defeating her was set in stone'?
Don't think that just because you, Shiki Natsu, defeated , that everyone can defeat .
In order to determine Kamuro Masumi's ability, Sakayanagi Arisu had specifically asked for Kamuro Masumi's information. Her academic ability was rely a C.
There was a considerable gap between her and herself. Trying to bridge the gap between the two, which was like a natural chasm, within just two short weeks was basically impossible.
Furthermore, even she was currently working hard. Last night, Sakayanagi Arisu didn't go to Shiki Natsu's dormitory; she was reviewing alone.
Even if Shiki Natsu hadn't chosen which subjects to challenge her in, Sakayanagi Arisu had made a rough judgnt based on her quiz results.
If he wanted to help Kamuro Masumi defeat her, he would definitely choose her three weaker subjects.
Unfortunately... what Shiki Natsu absolutely didn't know was that she had already considered such a challenge before the quiz, so... the scores of those three relatively backward subjects on the quiz were actually her strong subjects.
There was no helping it. Facing Shiki Natsu, a young girl still had to have a little bit of scheming.
The young girl not only possessed intelligence but... she also had a hidden energy source behind her that she hadn't activated yet.
If she wanted to win, Kamuro Masumi wouldn't have any chance; she could just bring the exam papers over and morize them.
With her ability, morizing all the answers within two weeks would pose absolutely no problem.
However... Kamuro Masumi wasn't worth using such thods. She would defeat Shiki Natsu fair and square, letting that hateful guy taste her power!
"The one hundred thousand points are being kept very well with . It just depends on whether Shiki-san has the ability to take them from ."
Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled softly, her purple eyes full of provocation.
Oh my, oh my. Shiki Natsu glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu with slight helplessness. She really didn't learn her lesson at all.
"Wait, I have a proposal."
Suddenly, Sakayanagi Arisu spoke again, staring dead at Shiki Natsu, a trace of vigilance flashing through her eyes.
"What proposal?"
Shiki Natsu found this vigilant appearance of Sakayanagi Arisu sowhat amusing. Was this an expression that Sakayanagi Arisu could show?
Quite rare indeed.
"You cannot use past exam questions."
Sakayanagi Arisu held up her small index finger and said. She had only thought about not using past exam questions herself, but she forgot whether this guy, Shiki Natsu, would use them.
With two weeks, even Kamuro Masumi could finish morizing the answers, right?
"No problem."
Shiki Natsu nodded very decisively. Even without using past exam questions, Shiki Natsu didn't think Kamuro Masumi would lose to Sakayanagi Arisu.
After receiving Shiki Natsu's affirmative reply, Sakayanagi Arisu felt relieved. Without past exam questions, relying solely on Kamuro Masumi herself, she was absolutely not her opponent.
Sigh, this little maid of mine is ultimately a bit too arrogant. Watching Sakayanagi Arisu's retreating back, Shiki Natsu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Next ca ordinary class ti. It was similar to yesterday; the teachers were lecturing as usual, except that during Chabashira Sae's class, the scope of the exam was changed.
...
"Masumi, can you understand everything in class?"
After school, Shiki Natsu looked at Kamuro Masumi beside him. After all, these teachers didn't possess his 'Teaching Mastery' and couldn't ensure students learned one hundred percent of what they taught.
Especially since certain teachers lacked motivation; there wasn't much difference between teaching and just reading the book.
Of course, Shiki Natsu understood. After all, it was liberal arts; it was generally like this, mostly mory-based things. But having no passion was another matter.
One day, he would have to file a complaint.
"Mn, I can roughly understand."
Kamuro Masumi nodded. With Shiki Natsu helping her with tutoring, her original shortcomings were gradually being filled, and she could basically keep up with the teacher's progress during class.
Was this how those honor students felt?
This was the first ti Kamuro Masumi had experienced this feeling. She had originally thought she had no destiny with such things.
"You've worked hard, Masumi."
Shiki Natsu nodded. During class, this deskmate of his hadn't zoned out at all and was quite focused on the lesson.
Even though it was such a boring class, Kamuro Masumi could still listen to it; it was truly quite tough on her.
Being praised by Shiki Natsu like this, Kamuro Masumi felt sowhat uncomfortable instead, but her eyes still landed on Shiki Natsu.
"I said it. Since I won't let you lose to Sakayanagi, I won't let you lose."
Kamuro Masumi gave a soft hmph. A re Sakayanagi Arisu actually wanted Shiki Natsu to beco her manservant? Becoming her manservant was more like it.
If he beca her manservant...
The girl's face flushed red, and she quickly cast aside the baseless fantasy.
Of course, Kamuro Masumi also knew that wanting to defeat this guy, Shiki Natsu, was basically impossible. Ever since she had known this guy Shiki Natsu, he had never suffered a loss.
If she made a move against Shiki Natsu, the one to suffer in the end would definitely be herself.
"Mn, not bad, not bad. Keep it up. Sakayanagi is absolutely not a match for you."
Shiki Natsu nodded and took out his phone. He quickly noticed the ssage Horikita Suzune had sent him, telling him to return to the dormitory imdiately.
"Is it Horikita looking for you?"
Kamuro Masumi spoke carelessly, glancing at Shiki Natsu. Judging from the look in Shiki Natsu's eyes when he looked at his phone, it could only be Sakayanagi Arisu or Horikita Suzune.
After all, only these two people would make Shiki Natsu reveal this kind of expression. If it were other girls, Shiki Natsu's eyes would be a bit gentler, but only those two made Shiki Natsu reveal that look of wanting to play with a toy.
If it were Sakayanagi Arisu, she should still be in the behaving-herself phase. Plus, yesterday Shiki Natsu gave Horikita Suzune a solution to Class D's current predicant.
Was it solved now? Or did she encounter trouble?
If she encountered trouble and planned to ask for Shiki Natsu's help, the price wouldn't be simple—at least starting with half a month of maid service.
"Mn, asking to hurry back to the dorm now. She probably intends to give the past exam questions."
Shiki Natsu nodded. He hadn't expected Horikita Suzune to obtain the past exam questions from the upperclassn so quickly; she had so skill after all.
Of course, it wasn't impossible that it was because the matter couldn't be realized. After all, sothing like past exam questions was still a gray transaction. If the second-year seniors were a bit cowardly, there might be no way to complete the deal.
"Then let's go back."
Kamuro Masumi spoke, simply tidying up the textbooks on her desk. She was also going to Shiki Natsu's dormitory, and she had a quite legitimate reason: she needed Shiki Natsu to tutor her. Otherwise, what if she lost to Sakayanagi Arisu?
If the result was being able to defeat Sakayanagi Arisu, then Kamuro Masumi would be in a pretty good mood during this period of make-up lessons.
Before, Kamuro Masumi would find a suitable excuse before going to Shiki Natsu's room. Even though it wasn't necessary, Kamuro Masumi still convinced herself in her heart, letting herself accept it before going to Shiki Natsu's room.
Shiki Natsu naturally couldn't understand the conflict in the young girl's heart.
"Mn."
The two quickly arrived at the dormitory area. Just as they returned to the front of his dormitory, Shiki Natsu saw Horikita Suzune. Those wine-red eyes were full of impatience, and she was holding a stack of papers in her hand.
"Here are the things you wanted. I got them."
Horikita Suzune directly handed the things in her hand to Shiki Natsu.
"Not bad, Horikita. Did you achieve this alone?"
Shiki Natsu took a rough glance. Inside were not only the midterm exam papers but also the quiz papers. The content on the quizzes was the sa as their quizzes, indicating that the exam content was basically the sa.
Mn, there were also the final exam papers. He didn't know which senior was so generous; papers that could have been sold separately were actually sold as a bundle.
Hearing Shiki Natsu's words, Horikita Suzune's figure paused.
"No, I didn't."
Horikita Suzune spoke. If she had relied solely on her own power for this matter, there would have been no way to complete it.
"Mn, you're no longer a lone walker."
Shiki Natsu nodded slightly. Being able to learn to borrow the strength of others counted as growth. After all, human strength is limited. Unless one becos a Jo-level creature, otherwise... there are definitely things where one must rely on others.
"It seems my training was effective."
Shiki Natsu chuckled lightly.
Seeing Shiki Natsu's smug appearance, Horikita Suzune wanted to say sothing to refute him, but after opening her mouth, she ultimately said nothing.
Factually speaking, Shiki Natsu's actions had indeed helped her.
If it were the Horikita Suzune of before, she absolutely wouldn't have known so many people in the class, nor would she have thought to borrow the power of Kushida Kikyou, who approached her with ulterior motives.
So the young girl just snorted coldly and planned to leave just like that.
"How many points did you spend?"
Shiki Natsu asked casually, seemingly unaware of Horikita Suzune's movent to leave.
"Eleven thousand. What, do you plan to reimburse ?"
Horikita Suzune lifted those cold eyes to look at Shiki Natsu.
"Not bad, Horikita, you've learned to tell jokes. If you practice well, maybe you unexpectedly have the talent to beco a codian, Horikita."
Shiki Natsu put on a quite serious expression.
This guy...
Looking at Shiki Natsu's face, Horikita Suzune wished she could beat him up fiercely. However, she endured it, turned sideways, and planned to leave directly, but was blocked by the hand Shiki Natsu casually extended.
"By the way, Horikita, don't you plan to say sothing to ?"
Say what?
Horikita Suzune frowned, looking at Shiki Natsu before her, completely unsure of what this guy intended to say.
"I helped Class D survive this major crisis, you know. Especially the Yamauchi group; they are quite headache-inducing, right?"
Saying this... even though he himself had also paid a price—serving as a maid for fifteen more days, the points spent were also gathered by her own thods, and she had even given the past exam questions to Shiki Natsu.
"Thank you."
Mn, what the young girl thought in her heart and what she said were completely different. Horikita Suzune didn't want to waste more effort on Shiki Natsu; right now, she wasn't an idler.
Just relying on morizing answers might only get them through this exam; she still needed to handle the study group side.
"Mn."
After receiving the young girl's heartfelt thanks, Shiki Natsu nodded and watched the young girl leave.
Just at this mont, Shiki Natsu's phone rang.
The contact was Kushida Kikyou. He really was quite popular.
Shiki Natsu was always surrounded by girls because he was too charming.
However... it was truly quite rare for Kushida Kikyou to actively contact him.
"Natsu, is it convenient to co to the old place now?"
The old place naturally referred to the place where Shiki Natsu bumped into Kushida Kikyou's true nature. It looked like it was sothing serious.
"Sorry, Masumi, you go in first. There are so things I've already put on the desk. As for these past exam questions, according to the agreent, you cannot look at them. Just put them on my bed."
Shiki Natsu handed the past exam questions to Kamuro Masumi, then opened the dorm door to let Kamuro Masumi inside before leaving.
Kamuro Masumi's mood was quite complex. Why did soone always interrupt their rare ti alone?
I hope Natsu doesn't co back too late... Kamuro Masumi's gaze fell upon Shiki Natsu's bed... Mn... slightly later wouldn't be a problem either.
