Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata naturally knew how unreliable the suggestions they had given that day were.
There wasn't the slightest chance they could help anyone improve.
They had thought that Haru was just paying lip service and wouldn't actually do such pointless things.
They hadn't expected that Haru seemed to have really followed their unreliable suggestions.
Now, he was even confidently saying their suggestions were useful.
How could they possibly be useful?
For a moment, both felt sympathy for Haru.
In their view, Haru must be under too much academic pressure these past few days.
So he was deceiving himself by saying their unreliable suggestions were useful.
He had even convinced himself of it.
But once Mafuyu Kirisu-sensei's test results came out, no matter how much Haru deceived himself, he would have to face his real grades.
What would Haru's state of mind be then?
Just thinking about it made Fumino Furuhashi feel a bit worried.
She hoped Haru wouldn't have a breakdown.
Just as both were feeling somewhat concerned.
Mafuyu Kirisu entered the classroom.
As usual, she distributed the test papers:
"Begin the test."
Although Fumino Furuhashi was still worried about Haru's mental state, once the exam began, she withdrew her attention and focused entirely on the test paper.
Swish, swish, swish.
Soon, only the sound of writing filled the classroom.
Mafuyu Kirisu sat at the podium, watching the three students taking the test.
The Japanese test was effortless for Fumino Furuhashi, causing her no trouble whatsoever.
However, Rizu Ogata was much the same as in the previous test. For every problem she wrote, she would furrow her brow and think for a long time.
"Ogata-san's liberal arts aptitude is really too low. Her thinking is completely that of a science student."
Mafuyu Kirisu frowned.
Finally, she looked at Haru.
To her surprise, Haru's test performance this time was much better than before.
Although he couldn't match Fumino Furuhashi's smooth progress, he didn't seem to encounter any major obstacles either.
"It looks like Haru-kun worked very hard these past three days." Mafuyu Kirisu became increasingly satisfied with Haru.
This was a diligent student.
And he was applying his efforts in the right direction.
Unlike Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, who ignored their great talents and insisted on taking the wrong path.
Thinking about Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata gave Mafuyu Kirisu a headache.
After the Japanese test ended, the mathematics test began.
This time, the situation reversed. It was Fumino Furuhashi's turn to look troubled, chewing on her pen, while Rizu Ogata was completely at ease.
And Haru's performance once again surprised Mafuyu Kirisu.
It was still very smooth.
"Being in good form doesn't mean much. What matters is the final results."
Although Mafuyu Kirisu was surprised, she didn't think much of it. As a teacher, she had seen too many students who performed well during exams but whose final results weren't impressive.
This test's difficulty was about the same as the previous one. In Mafuyu Kirisu's view, no matter how good Haru's performance was, his grades couldn't improve by much.
After all, he had been hospitalized for a month.
Soon after.
Mafuyu Kirisu distributed the test scores with an expressionless face.
However, the results were almost the same as last time.
Fumino Furuhashi: Japanese 100 points, Mathematics 5 points.
Rizu Ogata: Japanese 6 points, Mathematics 100 points.
When Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata saw their test scores, they immediately hung their heads.
They were so ashamed they didn't dare meet Mafuyu Kirisu's gaze.
Seeing their performance, Mafuyu Kirisu's mood became somewhat foul.
These two people's aptitude in different fields was really too low.
She almost began to doubt her own teaching abilities.
Fortunately, when Mafuyu Kirisu looked at Haru nearby, her expression became much more friendly.
"Haru-kun, your test scores have improved significantly this time."
Upon hearing this.
Instantly, both Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata raised their heads in surprise.
They both looked at Haru.
They had been worried about Haru's mental state earlier, afraid that after the exam, Haru would have to face poor results.
They hadn't expected Kirisu-sensei to say that Haru had improved significantly?
Was this real or fake?
Then they saw Mafuyu Kirisu hand down Haru's test paper.
Japanese: 80, Mathematics: 85!
Instantly, both Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
"These kinds of scores..."
Both beautiful girls were completely stunned.
This improvement wasn't just significant—it was terrifying.
They clearly remembered that Haru's previous scores were only in the low sixties.
In just three days, he had improved this much.
It was absolutely ridiculous!
In fact, Mafuyu Kirisu felt much the same as Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.
She was extremely shocked.
Such massive improvement in just three days.
It was simply incredible.
If she hadn't known that Haru's entrance exam scores were only around 100th place, and that he had been hospitalized for a month.
Mafuyu Kirisu would have even suspected that Haru had deliberately held back during the previous test.
But regardless, Haru's current test scores had indeed improved dramatically.
Compared to the other two, this greatly dispelled Mafuyu Kirisu's foul mood.
Haru's improvement proved that her tutoring was effective, Mafuyu Kirisu thought to herself.
Her recognition of Haru grew even stronger.
Of course, she understood that no matter how good her tutoring was, three days couldn't make such a big difference. The main reason was still Haru's hard work these past few days.
Such a diligent student.
Mafuyu Kirisu became more and more satisfied the more she looked at him.
He was completely unlike those two students who wasted their talents.
However, the next moment, Mafuyu Kirisu was stunned.
"My improvement is so significant thanks to Kirisu-sensei's guidance, as well as the suggestions from Furuhashi-san and Ogata-san."
Faced with the three people's shocked gazes, Haru said cheerfully.
Actually, Mafuyu Kirisu had guessed wrong. Haru hadn't spent much time studying these past few days.
The progress in his three-day task completion had given him significant improvements in memory and thinking ability.
Therefore, just by briefly looking at books, his grades had reached this level.
So Haru was speaking completely from the heart and telling the truth.
However, when these words reached the ears of the three people, they became strange.
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata were completely bewildered.
Haru actually said it was thanks to their suggestions?
Only they knew best that their suggestions had absolutely nothing to do with Haru's grade improvement.
So why was Haru saying this??
They found it strange.
Mafuyu Kirisu also looked at Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata in surprise.
Her originally stern gaze suddenly became somewhat gentler, and she had a sudden realization:
"So these past few days, you two have also been helping Haru-kun with his studies? No wonder—students do indeed need to help each other."
Mafuyu Kirisu's opinion of the two good students improved somewhat.
Although their personalities were naive, they were very kind to their classmates.
Because of this, they should be guided onto the right path even more.
Hearing Mafuyu Kirisu's words.
Both Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata were stunned.
