The mid-term exam was coming soon, and it was over in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Chiaki Chihara went through all kinds of horrible tutoring sessions, with the focus on English.

In order to learn the abominable English, Chiaki Kihara didn't even hesitate to spend a lot of time drawing manga for tutoring. Naturally, the corresponding effort would definitely be rewarded. Chiaki Kihara's English actually reached 100 points for the first time.

"Ahhhh!!!!

This, this is the first time I scored so many points with my normal strength!

I, I'm so excited … "

Chiaki Chihara's usually expressionless face showed a strange combination of expressions, and her whole body seemed to be trembling with excitement.

The first place of the grade was still Akashiji Seijuro. Akashiji Seijuro relied on his amazing results to proudly take the first place of the grade. Chiaki Chihara was ranked tenth in the grade, and because she was very good in other subjects, her English score did not drag her down this time, so she barely managed to get into the top ten of the grade.

Kōmura Tsuki was ranked fifth in the grade, and Divination, as usual, scored more than 100 points … As for the second place of the grade, surprisingly, it was not the class monitor of Class 2 who always ranked second, but a boy named Mangosteen.

Mangosteen?

She didn't seem to know that there was such a person in the school.

Was he a transfer student?

"Why did she rely on her normal strength?" Tsuki Simura asked curiously.

"Hey, don't you know?

There was once when Chiaki Chihara scored 120 points in English. Even the teacher was shocked, and even suspected that Chiaki Chihara hid the answers. "

Xiang Buming shrugged and said, "Actually, she just filled in the wrong place when she filled in the answer sheet. She filled in the wrong place by one place, but 80% of the answers are correct," Xiang Buming explained.

"That's too lucky!" Kōmura Tsuki widened her eyes in shock.

"Luck is a relative thing. If you encounter something lucky, you will definitely encounter something unlucky. It's the same principle as the moon being round and round," Chiaki Chihara said as she pushed her glasses up.

"So when we encounter something lucky, we should feel happy. When we encounter something unlucky, we should think that we will encounter something lucky in the future. That way, our mood will be better every day."

This was also the happiness theory that she had adhered to since she was young. No matter when, she believed in this truth.

As soon as Chiaki Chihara finished speaking, a rhythmic applause suddenly sounded behind her, and a slightly sickly boy's voice slowly.

"What a speech filled with hope. Every action is filled with hope … As expected, today is also a day filled with hope."

Looking at the white-haired boy, who was not wearing his school uniform, Chiaki Chihara was silent for a while, and asked,

"Are you … Are you the twin brother of Jun's classmate from next door?"

His words were filled with a strange air of chuunibyou …

"She's the new transfer student from the next class," Kōmura Tsuki explained, "She's the second-ranked student, Mangosteen."

"Ah, is that so?" Chiaki Chihara nodded in realization. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Brainiac."

"I'm not really a brainiac, I'm just a little lucky."

Mangosteen smiled, his soft white hair slightly tilted to the side, and his pair of green eyes quietly looked at Chiaki Chihara.

"How can a scum like me be compared to all of you?

Just being able to stay with all of you, and being able to talk to all of you who are full of hope, is already a blessing for me. "

Kōmura Tsuki and Divination looked at Chiaki Chihara in confusion. Chiaki Chihara's expression, for a moment, flashed a trace of shock, followed by a faint trace of pity.

Suddenly, she took a step forward, solemnly held Mangosteen's hand, and said in a very serious tone,

"Young man, please don't give up on yourself so casually. Maybe you've encountered a lot of sad things in the past, but please believe that it's impossible for such things to happen in this school.

I'm from the Discipline Department. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just give me a call, or go directly to Class 1 to find me. I'll definitely make sure that he'll never dare to appear in front of you again. "

[School violence is absolutely forbidden!]

As a member of the Discipline Department, how could she let her cute classmates be threatened!

As she spoke, Chiaki Chihara took out her pen, and wrote her phone number on the boy's palm.

At first glance, it was obvious that this child had been bullied in his original school, which was why he had developed such a self-abandoning personality.

What a pitiful young man. Some of his past experiences probably left a shadow in his heart … But it doesn't matter, as long as I, the Discipline Department, am here, school bullying is absolutely forbidden!!!

Mangosteen, "… Huh?"

"Okay, that's all."

Chiaki Chihara nodded at him, turned around, and left with Divination and Tsuki Simura, leaving Mangosteen in a daze.

Hmm … Although he didn't know what the other party misunderstood, his goal was achieved.

Looking at the phone number written on his palm, the silver-haired young man's face revealed a satisfied smile, and he raised his head to look at the blue sky.

[Sure enough, today is a lucky day.]

In the afternoon, after school —

"The English test this time is very good."

Akashiji Seijuro looked at the paper in Chiaki Chihara's hand, and used a pencil to circle some wrong questions on the paper.

"The questions that you circled are all questions that shouldn't be wrong. When you go back, remember to make a set of wrong questions. Write down a corresponding set of wrong questions for each question, and remember to give it to me in a few days."

"Okay!"

Chiaki Chihara took the paper in Akashiji Seijuro's hand, and couldn't hold back her excitement. She almost wanted to fly home and tell the swordsmen at home.

"Oh right, I found out about the previous incident." Akashiji Seijuro thought for a while, and finally spoke.

"What did you find out?" Chiaki Chihara froze for a moment, and subconsciously grasped the paper in her hand.

"It's about Matsubara Hidesuke," Akaji continued, and then sent a disciplinary report to Chiaki Chihara.

"It's not Shōgo Kurosaki's doing, it's probably a personal grudge between the people at Obsidian High School and Matsubara Hidesuke."

"I understand," Chiaki Chihara replied, but she looked at the disciplinary report on the table with some hesitation.

"But … if it's not Shōgo Kurosaki's doing, why is he still punished?"

"About this?" Akashiji Seijuro tilted his head slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared in his red eyes.

"Yesterday, a bunch of documents suddenly appeared in the Student Union's archives, and they were all evidence of Shōgo Kurosaki's bullying since school started.

Although we don't know who sent them, the school still punished Shōgo Kurosaki when they saw the documents. "

"I see." Chiaki Chihara nodded, and didn't continue asking.

"Oh right!

Akaji, this is for you. "

Chiaki Chihara opened her backpack, and carefully took out a thick book. She opened it in front of Akaji, and took out a drawing from one of the pages.

"This is a thank you gift, because I don't know how to do anything other than drawing … Take it as a thank you for tutoring me."

"A drawing?"

Akashiji Seijuro curiously took the drawing from her hand, and when his eyes met the drawing, he seemed to have stopped breathing for a moment.

On the screen was a red-haired young man. He was supporting the side of his face with one hand, and his eyes were slightly covered. At dusk, the rays of the setting sun slowly poured down from the side, adding some warmth to the young man's pale face. Coupled with the gentle painting style of the watercolor, the whole picture became gentler.

"This is Akaji," Chiaki Chihara looked at Akaji's slightly stunned expression, and hurriedly replied.

"During the few times you tutored me, there was one time when I was lying down doing my homework, and when I looked up, I saw you holding your face with one hand, and you looked very sleepy … Anyway!

Akaji, remember to rest well, not only physically, but also mentally. "

Akashiji Seijuro slowly put down the drawing, and his bangs slightly covered his eyes, so Chiaki Chihara couldn't see his expression for a while.

"Erm … Are you angry?"

Chiaki Chihara probably felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, so she asked nervously.

"It's okay if you don't like it …"

Speaking of which, this kind of gift was too simple, wasn't it?

Akaji Jun's family seemed to be very rich, so did she really have to buy some expensive gifts to give to him?

"No, I like it very much."

Akaji interrupted Chiaki Chihara's words, and put down the drawing in his hand. He looked up with his usual smile on his face.

"I'm just a little surprised by Setsubara's drawing skills.

Thank you very much, I like this drawing very much. "

"Ah, you're welcome." Chiaki Chihara touched the back of her head, and turned her head a little embarrassedly.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she gave Akaji Jun a gift … She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go look for Kurozijun. Speaking of which, this time's result was also due to Kurozijun's contribution. I'll go first, Akaji Jun should also go home and rest early."

Looking at the girl's gradually receding figure, and the gentle rays of the setting sun poured on the girl's body, Akashiji Seijuro put down the drawing in his hand, and withdrew his gaze.
