World Record Chapter 26

The start of the third arc!

Although wind enters from the window sometimes, it's useless.

[Gunununu......]

[.........]

From top to bottom, it's Iwato, Eita, Karen and Ayame.

Upon looking at them, Eita shouted as if he can't endure it anymore.

[Are yoooou guys stupid!? Why I'm the only one studying even though we're in this time already!?]

--What exactly did she drink?

Iwato thought of such thing, but above all, he spoke to Eita who shouted just now because they're in the library now.

[I don't know what you are saying, but this is the school's library. Think a bit more about the surroundings before doing something]

Ayame who closed the floating book while looking at Eita, opens her mouth to talk.

[In the first place, I have acquired knowledge until the university level, and regarding Iwato-sama, he seems smart. In the first place, if you pay attention to the lessons, then there's no need to study]

That's right. What demanded by this Force Academy are experience in battle, absolute height of Battle Rank, and the minimum and neccessary academic studies.

That means 『Cla.s.sroom lectures are not very hard』, and leaving aside the intelligent Iwato and Ayame, the two idiots is a little over the mark.

[W-Well......I'm an outdoor type......]

[In the first place, while saying that you're an outdoor type, your Battle Ranks are lower than us, isn't it?]

That's right--though they say they are outdoor types, they basically didn't study while in the cla.s.s.

Eita just do nothing or sleep as if he don't intend to listen at all.

Well, you might wonder why they're studying at this point of time. These two words is the answer.

[......Periodic examination]

Biku!?

While having dinner, Karen showed an excessive reaction after hearing Tsumugu muttering those words.

[W-W-What do you mean by stupid!? You could have say something like study more!]

[WHY!?]

Tsumugu who magnificently ignored Karen's words, extends her hand towards Iwato's handmade pepper steak--but she can't reach it.

[No, Tsumu-san. You won't grow if you don't eat a lot of vegetables]

[W-Wait, what do you mean......]

Upon seeing that, Iwato had a dry smile, and Karen looked at Ayame with sympathy. And, Ayame trembles and becomes teary eyes.

Will that solve--Everything was solved.

[Say, Tsumu. You might have forgotten about it, but I did my best to make those......]

Iwato's face twitches in this situation without being able to say anything, and he brings the seconds that he made in advance from the kitchen.

Apparently, they still have their reasoning because they didn't eat it directly with the chopsticks, but the girls who learned that it's Iwato's handmade, don't know the word "stop".

[Mu. You two...hindrance]

[Kuu, you cow t.i.ts! What do you plan on eating this much!? How about using this nutritions into your height and brain!?]

The three who starts the quarrel.

[H-Hmph! I only said the truth!]

[[Ah!?]]

And, the two who realized Tsumugu eating the pepper steak while hiding, immediately tries to stop her--and the plate slipped.

[[[......Ah]]]

Gashaan!!

The pepper steak that was prepared on the plate, spilled on the floor, and upon seeing that, the three became pale as they realized that there's another person in this place.

He's surely angry. While thinking that, the girls looked at Iwato timidly--

[Ah~, it broke. Did you get hurt from that?]

Upon seeing him standing up from the chair with concern--their heart hurts.

[Aaah, what a waste. You girls still can eat...right? Wait for a while. I'll go and make your portion......]

The girls lower their heads in silence towards Iwato who worries about them from the bottom of his heart.

☆☆☆

With this and that, day after day pa.s.sed. Several days before the periodic examination.

[Huh?......Isn't this kinda bad?]

Karen muttered so at this point of time.

[Y-Yeah! It can't be helped because there's really no time to study at all!]

[Enough! I myself know that very well!]

Karen falls to her desk by Iwato's merciless words.

In fact, that's roughly the right opinion, and in conclusion, it's Karen's fault because she still don't feel like wanting to study even after being told so many times.

[T-T-Two of us!?]

Karen who raised her head quickly by Iwato's words, and Ayame who looked at Iwato with a fl.u.s.tered look. And Eita who had teary eyes like an abandoned dog.

[I see, then okay]

Iwato said so, and smiled--

He exposed such an unfunny joke.

--Please just be Iwato's joke.

[Huh? You guys didn't know about it?]

The male students who don't intend to study up until now, start to memorize the test scope desperately, while Karen studied hard to the extent that she don't even need Iwato's help.

Iwato attended the cla.s.ses properly.

And yet--why he don't know the answers for the questions?

At that time, Iwato asked her this.

『N? What's wrong, Tsumu? I don't think...there's any lewd things in there, you know? Probably』

『What's that, something like foreshadowing before the final episode?』
