Hahaha! An, you always get so happy the second school is out.
Classmate B
You're right. It's like the joy of freedom from the classroom floods her whole being.
An
Anyway, don't you guys have club to get to? The second years won't be happy if you keep dawdling.
Classmate A
Oh my gosh, you're right! See you tomorrow, An!

Hehehe. Do you wanna walk home together today? Someone I know told me about this place with amazing apple pies!
Mizuki
They're supposed to have amazing texture! Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside! Plus, the filling is really sweet, and they're not stingy with it.
Teacher
Shiraishi. Akiyama. May I have a word?
Teacher
There's something we need to discuss. Follow me.
Empty Classroom
Teacher
Here should be fine.
Mizuki
Since you took us all the way here...
I'm guessing it's something you don't want the whole world hearing?

Well, yes...
Shiraishi. Do you remember how you did on the tests we had the other day?

Teacher
It's true that you achieved good results for math this time. However... What about classics and chemistry?
Teacher
Shiraishi... You are a high schooler now.
Teacher
You need to show that you have the academic ability of one to advance to second year.
Teacher
Starting Monday, you'll be going to supplementary classes for a week.
Teacher
I am not kidding! This is no laughing matter.
Teacher
Rules are rules.
If you don't score high enough on tests, we have to fail you.
If you don't score high enough on tests, we have to fail you.
Teacher
That said, we teachers don't want any of you to be held back. We'll be giving you supplementary classes specifically in order to prevent that.
Teacher
Now that we're clear on that...
I expect you to show up every day on time, starting on Monday.

Mizuki
Ahaha... That sure sucks, An.
But, it'll be worth the hard work to make sure you go into second year.

Teacher
What's this Akiyama? It looks like the pot is calling the kettle black.
Teacher
You're taking those supplementary classes too.
Teacher
Yes, I can't deny your academic achievement. The issue is your attendance.
Mizuki
No no no! I did a ton of worksheets the other day 'cause I was told it would make up for my low attendance!
Teacher
Yes, you did.
However, you had a string of absences after that.

That's true...
But, I made sure they were all days that it would be okay to skip and—

(...? Hang on...
Didn't the teacher get sick one time, and math got swapped with English the next day...?)

It seems I've jogged your memory?
Teacher
Well then, have I made myself clear?
Teacher
Shiraishi. Akiyama. I expect you both to attend all of next week's supplementary classes.

Then, there's nothing for me to say. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
Luka
So, I guess it's just going to be the three of you at practice until An finishes her supplementary classes.

An
Well, that checks out.
It'd be crazy if I had to take supplementary classes but not you...

Akito
The same as me, then. And for the record, I scored higher than you in world history.
Toya
Yes. Pointlessly arguing over such things changes nothing about the fact that you both failed.
Toya
The important thing now is for you both to make the most of the supplementary classes.
