Kamishiro! Thank you so much for teaching me that mnemonic yesterday! I think I've memorized the elements!
Tsukasa
Heh heh heh. I'm very au fait with that unit! I shall take this opportunity and teach you!
The day after that
Rui
Rote memorization has its place in the classroom... However, you won't get far just glaring at your textbook.
Rui
Hehe. This right here is my instantaneous memorization device. It delivers intense stimulation to all the senses to help the user instantly commit knowledge to memory.
Rui
It's still an experimental prototype, but I can guarantee your safety. Would you like to try it out, Shinonome?
An
I... I'm kinda...curious...
Anything to get these weird chemical formulas to stay in my brain...

I brought these to keep you all going. They're chocolates from this shop by the station... Feel free to share them around if you like.
Nene
Yeah. I could tell Tsukasa and Rui have been working hard, and they say eating chocolate helps when you're tired.

Akito
How hard do you think I've been working for this? I'm not about to crumble at the last hurdle.
Mizuki
Hahaha. I guess I need to treat this test seriously too. After all, I want to go into second year too.

Rui
By this point, they can surpass any obstacle in their way. All you and I can do now...is have faith and be patient.
Teacher
Does everyone have their test?
Teacher
Some of you are being tested for more subjects than others, so please submit your tests to me when you finish.
Teacher
I will grade you immediately and inform you of your results before you leave.
Teacher
I want you to show your best efforts and not let the past week go to waste.
Teacher
You may begin.

(This looks okay. I've never had that much trouble with this part of classics, so I can get the gist of it...)

Oh! Sometimes, at the end of a day of singing practice, I'll feel really tired, look at the sky and think it looks gorgeous!
Tsukasa
Oh, I understand that too! When I look at the sky after pushing myself to the limit, it always looks so vast and peaceful.
Rui
Hehe. That deeply sentimental feeling is more or less what is called “the pathos of things”.

(I owe this to the others. Mizuki, Kamishiro, Toya... And to Akito and Tenma for studying alongside me, too.)

Akito
(I owe it to them for believing in me. There's no way I'm going out there defeated...!)

(Everything's fine...
I answered every question, and I didn't make any mistakes filling in the answer sheet.)
