A few days after the matter with Kanzaki and the others and the Student Council came to an end.

The year-two students had been studying day after day for the upcoming Special Test.

This time, the students with lower academic ability were given heavier responsibilities, and it's certain that this has produced a big change from the previous written tests.

Most of the students went to the cafeteria as soon as lunch break started, but more than half of the students remained in the class and took out their lunch boxes or something from a convenience store.

In addition, a strange scene with tablets, books, notebooks and such on the table is all around.

"Uuuh... So sleepy. I wanna sleep..."

I heard such a voice from a certain student.

"I wanna hang out, I wanna hang out, I wanna hang out, I wanna hang out..."

Another voice from a different student.

"Isn't the corridor too loud? It's ruining my focus~ Someone quiet them down~"

Some are even worrying about the outside noises.

More and more dissatisfied students are starting to talk about what they'd like to do instead of this.

It seems that many of the students were not getting enough sleep, and Sonoda was also one of them.

"I'm too sleepy~"

He held his head in his hands and shook it, desperately trying to get rid of his drowsiness.

"Let's just work a little more. We'll take a break after we finish here, so...!"

Mii-chan, guiding the study next to Sonoda, gave the others a soft talk of encouragement.

"You finished your work earlier already, didn't you?"

"I feel suddenly motivated, or rather I'm going with the flow. I think I'm doing well."

The couple combination of Ike and Shinohara studying together side by side. Shinohara seems to be doing a lot better than usual.

"I've been attending the study sessions every day for the past few days, right? I feel like I'm being made to pay for all the time I've been slacking off, but..."

Shinohara repeatedly yawned sleepily, but she seemed positive.

"I feel like I've learned some things."

"Not me, not at all..."

"Well, let's just keep at it."

"So reliable. Now that's my girlfriend!"

When Ike hugged Shinohara after shouting so, a textbook was smashed into the top of his head.

"After we're all done."

"Uuuh..."

"We can't keep doing stupid things over and over again. Come on, focus on the problems."

"You're very motivated, huh, Shinohara-san?"

Seeing her up close, Yousuke called out to Shinohara.

"I've been nothing but a burden, but this Special Test is the best chance for me to make up for that, right? I have to contribute to the class a little, and I don't want to get expelled."

The reality is that if one does not improve their abilities, they will fall down in the rankings necessary for the class.

The fact that this will come back to haunt one in the event of an emergency is already proven by a previous case.

"You seem to be working hard too, Ike-kun. Don't force yourself, though. There's no point if you collapse before the real thing."

"R-right."

Yousuke praised him, and advised him to be more careful.

Such was their conversation.

It's obvious, but students who are not motivated don't want to waste their time studying.

However, it is necessary to be able to put in the effort. It doesn't matter if it's for your boyfriend or girlfriend.

One has to find a reason that suits them.

That is the shortcut to effort. Just like how Sudou's driving force was Horikita.

There were a lot of students who had a hard time studying, but the whole class was able to come together in this way.

"Still, the corridor is so noisy."

The students want to concentrate on their studies, but there are many people passing by in the corridor, or people talking and running around.

At a time when you need to concentrate, this noise is like an uninvited guest.

"I'm going to have a look. There's a lot of students here who are being bothered, so."

Even if I can't stop the disturbance, I can at least find out what caused it.

If we know what's going on, it will have a stabilizing effect on the restless students.

"Alright. Thank you."

It would be best for me to go check the corridor, so that the students aren't disturbed while studying.
