"..."
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "It's nothing."
"Oh"
Furuhashi nodded somewhat strangely, then followed Hayakawa with a clear conscience, chatting as they walked about what had happened at home the previous day.
Hayakawa listened with little interest, nodding perfunctorily from time to time. Fumino Furuhashi, however, didn't seem to care about his attitude and continued to speak with a smile.
"Ah, Ri-chan, you're here."
Fumino Furuhashi's voice suddenly changed, and she asked with a hint of concern, "It rained heavily last night, is your udon noodle shop alright?"
Hayakawa's expression froze for a moment, and he slowly turned his head to look over.
A short, petite girl with an orange bob haircut, who was only about 1.4 meters tall but had a figure that could be described as lewd, was struggling to walk over with her schoolbag on her back.
The second nemesis has arrived.
"Fortunately."
Upon hearing this, Rizu Ogata's expression remained unchanged: "My father checked the weather forecast a long time ago, so he closed the shop early and therefore did not encounter any danger."
"That's good, that's good."
Fumino Furuhashi patted her chest and said, "Rika, your father is really smart. I saw on the news last night that some restaurants wanted to open in the rain to make more money, but not only did some scoundrels break into the store, but the store door was also smashed by heavy objects carried by the wind and rain. It was a complete loss."
“My family’s udon noodle shop is usually very busy, so we don’t need to open on rainy days to make a living.”
Upon hearing this, Ogata Rizu puffed out her small chest with a touch of pride.
Come again, come again.
I listened silently to them in the morning, feeling a little disdainful: it's just another trivial matter.
I am destined for a bright future, a dragon soaring to the heavens. Why do I keep hearing about whether udon noodle shops are open or not? Isn't that strange?
And they didn't go to school for a whole day?! These two didn't even discuss their studies or grades at all. Don't they miss school at all? Don't they feel like they're wasting their time at home and will only leave with regrets?!
incredible.
"There's no way to make a fool of yourself!"
Hayakawa grew angrier the more he thought about it, and left with a cold remark.
Furuhashi and Ogata: "???"
Fumino Furuhashi looked completely bewildered: "What's wrong with this guy now?"
Rizu Ogata shook her head: "I don't know, maybe it's just that those few days of the month again."
……
Hayakawa, who had just arrived in the classroom, received some exciting but also somewhat worrying news.
That means the final exams are coming soon.
When Hayakawa heard this, he was both happy and somewhat anxious.
The final exam is the most important exam of the entire semester, and it can be said to be the ultimate test of the first semester of high school. For Hayakawa, who values exam results more than anything else, this is undoubtedly a huge test, but also the best opportunity to prove the results of his hard work during this period.
A major exam suddenly came, which was undoubtedly a happy event for Hayakawa. However, the final exam also marked the end of the semester, so after this exam, the school would be on holiday again, and it would be a very long winter break, at least one or two months long.
One or two months! Yesterday, we only had one day off because of the sudden typhoon, and Hayakawa felt like every day was an eternity. Now we have to take at least two months off. How am I going to get through this period? Hayakawa doesn't even want to think about it.
No...no, school, I don't want to leave!
Haha, just kidding. Actually, Hayakawa isn't worried about winter break at all because he had planned that time out long ago. All sorts of tutoring classes and courses have already filled the two months, making it incredibly fulfilling. He doesn't need to worry about not being able to study at school at all.
This demonstrates Hayakawa's ability to plan ahead.
However, even if we exclude that point, there is still one problem.
That's a problem with my own grades.
Hayakawa was, of course, extremely confident in himself. A student who has studied and prepared extensively before an exam will be confident during the exam, while Hayakawa had been preparing from beginning to end without ever letting up, so his confidence was only natural.
However, there are just too many abnormal factors in this school.
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata are like two whirlpools, constantly attracting all sorts of top students, making Ichinose High School feel like a dangerous and huge primeval jungle, where you never know when an incredibly ferocious beast will leap out of the shadows and pounce on you.
Although he didn't want to say it, Hayakawa was self-aware enough to know that the possibility of him defeating Furuhashi and Ogata was zero.
Let alone those two, I have absolutely no confidence in beating that hamster girl who lives next door and only plays games and eats snacks all day and never studies.
Even his silver-haired deskmate next to him, who had been looking at him with teasing eyes and making "yo yo yo" sounds since learning about the final exams, actually made him feel a little uneasy.
How painful...
Old Trump covered his forehead with a somber expression: "If the most sincere, hardworking, determined, and down-to-earth people in the world cannot achieve success, then such a world might as well be destroyed."
However, even in the face of such difficulties, Hayakawa has no intention of backing down and will do his best to prepare for the final exams.
In short, let's do a stack of papers first.
As soon as the thought left his mind, Hayakawa pulled out a thick scroll from his otherworldly backpack, picked up the top one, and started writing.
Chapter 481, Section 104: Covering Up Suspicion and Unveiling the Changes in Leng Liuyi and Xia Chuanzhenliang
"..."
Natsukawa Masaki, who was leisurely eating bread for breakfast, was so shocked by what she saw that the bread fell out of her mouth.
There are so many exam papers, enough to use as firewood for a whole night's warmth. When will I ever finish writing them?
"Stop right now."
Natsukawa Masaki grabbed Zao Chen's arm, stopping his erratic behavior.
"Why?"
Hayakawa had just gotten into a study routine when he was interrupted, and he looked up with some displeasure.
"Ahem, it's rare to have an unexpected holiday, so it would be strange if I only focused on studying after returning to school, wouldn't it?"
Natsukawa Masuzu gave Hayakawa a gentle and sweet smile and said, "Look at me today, do you see anything different about me compared to usual?"
After she finished speaking, she placed her hand on her chest and struck a pose.
"what?"
Hayakawa glanced at him and said, puzzled, "Are you any different from before? I can't tell at all."
"Ok?"
Natsukawa Masaki's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in her sharp gaze. Her silver hair moved without wind, and her hand, which had been resting on Hayakawa's waist, was poised to strike.
"Hmm, no, things have changed a lot,"
Hayakawa's tone suddenly shifted: "It's obvious right away, let me think..."
"that,"
Hayakawa stared at Natsukawa Maru for a long time but couldn't see any difference from before. However, the next second, her nose twitched slightly, and her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "You changed your shampoo, right?"
Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes widened in surprise: "You noticed that too? I only changed it a day ago."
"Yes,"
Hayakawa smiled confidently: "It tastes completely different from before. The aroma is more stimulating and more memorable. How should I put it... it feels like a garden after earthworms have turned over the soil."
"..."
After a long silence, Natsukawa Masuzu finally gave an awkward smile: "Hayakawa-kun... that's disgusting."
"..."
Did I say something wrong?
Natsukawa Masuzu looked disgusted, sat up straight with her arms crossed, and said coldly, "I just asked you to find out if I'm different from usual. It's too much that you can sense it to this extent. How seriously do you usually smell my scent? If other girls heard this, they would probably think you were sexually harassing me."
"Uh…"
Just as Hayakawa was about to explain that his nose was even more sensitive than a dog's, he was interrupted by Natsukawa Masuzu.
"It's here,"
Natsukawa Masaki stretched out one leg and said with a smile, "I used to wear white stockings, but today I specially wore warm cashmere black stockings. How about it? Aren't they much more alluring?"
Hayakawa was stunned when he saw it: "Really? I didn't notice it at all before."
"...I really don't understand you,"
Natsukawa Masaki paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "You can notice such a small detail as changing your shampoo, but you can't notice such a big change as changing your stockings? What's wrong with you? Are you a fan of unusual scents?"
Hayakawa scratched his head, speechless: "Who would care about someone changing their socks for no reason?"
"I get a lot of attention,"
Natsukawa Masaki said, "I wore new black stockings today, and I can clearly feel that there are a lot more people staring at me now. If it weren't for the fact that Japanese phones are forced to add sound when taking pictures, I'm afraid a lot of boys at school would secretly take pictures and take them home to use as material for [beep]."
As she spoke, Natsukawa Masamichi's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, only coldness and disgust. Clearly, her mood was not as bad as her expression suggested; she actually disliked being stared at.
"..."
What terrible things did you say that got censored?
"Don't you feel like touching it?"
Natsukawa Masuzu suddenly smiled, quietly stretched her long, graceful legs to Hayakawa's legs and touched them, saying, "Do you want me to take a couple of pictures? That way you'll have ready-made material to use when you miss me at home [beep], how about that? Aren't I being very considerate of you?"
"...I regret to decline."
Hayakawa looked away from Natsukawa Masuzu's legs, said expressionlessly, and then went back to look at the previous test paper.
Although they were both long and white, the stack of papers in front of him was far more attractive to him than Natsukawa Masaki's legs.
"whispering sound"
Seeing this, Natsukawa Masaki pouted, withdrew her leg somewhat uninterested, and said irritably while resting her chin on her hand, "What a boring man."
"Whatever you say."
Hayakawa sneered and ignored him.
Many high school boys of the same age might think this behavior is stupid. A beautiful girl using black stockings to seduce you, why don't you immediately pounce on her and lick her? However, in Hayakawa's opinion, this is the real stupidity.
In life, you will encounter many such temptations. For example, when you are studying, you may suddenly find yourself wanting to play a game, read a comic, or watch a movie. When you are supposed to exercise, you may suddenly feel tired and want to rest. You may procrastinate after finishing your work.
At times like these, some people think, "Oh, it's okay to indulge a little, right?" And it really is okay, but deep down, you have no idea what you're losing.
You've lost the ability to persevere. Just like many high school students who were able to work hard and force themselves to study during high school, but after graduating from university, they find they can no longer study because their long-term laxity has robbed them of the ability to work hard.
Going to school is not just about learning methods, but more importantly, about acquiring the ability to learn. Hayakawa understands this better than anyone, which is why he can ignore Natsukawa Marou's temptations as if they don't exist.
Hmph, you're far from shaking my resolve.
Hayakawa sneered inwardly, sitting intently with his exam paper beside him.
At that moment, Nakano Satsuki, who was just arriving at the classroom with a meat bun in her mouth, was shocked to see the mountain of test papers on Hayakawa's desk. She almost choked on her food.
Are all of these things I need to write? Is this a task Hayakawa assigned to me?
Nakano Satsuki looked shocked: What an astonishing amount!
Hayakawa-kun is working so hard, it must be for the final exams soon.
No, I have to work harder too, I can't fall too far behind.
Nakano Satsuki, who had the worst grades in the entire grade, thought to herself, then devoured the meat bun in one bite, and quickly returned to her seat to take out her book and start reading.
She was inspired by the King of Scrolls.
……
There are seven subjects in the final exam, and the main subjects take two and a half hours, or 150 minutes.
I would bet my life on those 150 minutes!!
Uh-huh! ! !
Hayakawa was hunched over a table in the library, frantically working on problems. He was wielding his pen so fast that it left afterimages, and sparks flew from the pen tip as it scraped against the paper.
Chapters 482 and 105: Holiday Arrangements After Final Exams
"Brush brush"
The pen tip rubbed against the exam paper as Hayakawa's brain raced, everything in his eyes seemingly solidifying into tangible data, floating in mid-air.
