can't do it do it". the speed of the class is slow, and to Chihiro, who
has some knowledge of the subject, it's like resting his bones.-tinytranslation.xyz
He took it easy and let the class sink in.
Then, the homeroom teacher told the whole class.
「At the end of this month, there will be a regular exam and an
ability assessment. For everyone, this will be your first assessment after
entering the school, so please try to prepare as much as possible in advance」
Ability assessment for [Lost Item]. At Shibahou Academy, the results
of this assessment and the regular examinations are both taken into account in
determining the student's grade.
The ability judgment is especially important. As Shibahou Academy is
an institution for the gifted, students with poor prospects may be dismissed
from the school. On the other hand, if they perform well, they may be given
some preferential treatment. This is an event of great significance to Chihiro
as well.
After the homeroom teacher gives a command and leaves the room, the
students are all in a buzz.
Then as he exhaling lightly while packing up his belongings, Chihiro
hears the students talking.
「Kamishiro, are you going for B rank?」
「You can do it, right?」
Intrigued, he looked up to see Kamishiro smiling as he is surrounded
by boys.
「Of course, I'm going for it. ...but it's going to be difficult, as
expected」
There are only six ranks in total. So, even just going up one rank
is quite a challenge. It is even more difficult to go from D to C or from C to
B than from E to D. In particular, the number of students who are ranked B or
higher is much lower, and it is said that they can find a job that makes full
use of their abilities when they reach the rank.
In this class, Kamishiro and Maria have a good chance.

「Yeah」
Chihiro left the apartment with Maria. They parted at the entrance
and went their separate ways.
Riko is not with them.
She said she is going to miss school today too because her physical
strength is not good enough, and that was why she had not changed into her
school uniform when they ate.
Maria did not seem to be alarmed by the fact that she would be left
alone in her room. After all...
**a
「Well, I didn't leave anything there that I didn't want anyone to see」
「...And the computer?」
「I put passwords on all the logins and folders. Besides, she'd be
committing a crime if she went through someone else's computer without a solid
reason, wouldn't she?」
「I see」
Considering the fact that Riko would be making an enemy of Chihiro and
Maria, it's unlikely that she'd be messing around in the room. With only half a
day to spare, time is not on her side.
「There's also the possibility that if we show our trust, her
resistance will be weaker...」
Riko even had a key so that she could bring in her personal
belongings later today.
No way, she thinks it's a trap.
☆ ☆ ☆
Saturday is a half-day class, and the content of the class is quite
irregular.
To be more specific, all four periods are free choice. The students
can choose from a wide range of subjects from sports, martial arts, skills
training to arts and technology, except that they are not allowed to not take
any classes.
The classroom lectures held in the mornings from Monday to Friday
concentrate on the main subjects, and do not include practical classes such as
music, art, and information processing. The main purpose of this course is to
supplement what the student need from such "omitted" subjects. Of
course, if someone have no particular interest, they may exercise their body to
become stronger.
The classes on Saturdays are basically a set of two periods, and
each student can take a maximum of two classes.
Chihiro is taking art in the first and second periods, and
information processing in the third and fourth periods.
The reason why he chooses to take these courses is because he is too
weak to train, and also because he wants to get a good score on his unofficial
application for admission to a university. In the first place, those who have
the ability to read the mind generally go on to become psychologists or
counselors, so the requirements for non-motor skills are high.
In addition, Kamishiro allotted four hours to physical education and
training, and Aika chose home economics and art. Unfortunately, Aika and
Chihiro are not in the same class because of their class schedule. -tinytranslation.xyz
It seems that Riko chose home economics and training.
And...
「...Ah」
When Chihiro took his art bag - a big, bulky bag - to the dedicated
classroom, he found Maria there.
Apparently, she is also taking art at the same time. And when she
glanced at him, she said, as if to say, "Surprised?".
...Actually, he didn't expect to meet her here.
She told him later that she chose the "express yourself"
course to relieve stress and clear her mind. Incidentally, she chose music as
her third and fourth period elective.
As Chihiro continued to draw his subject, a still life, he took the
opportunity to look into Maria's sketchbook and found that she is using her
time sparingly to draw the shadows. The accuracy of her work is remarkable, but
the overall level of perfection did not seem to be improving.
As for Chihiro himself, he is neither good at art nor bad at it.
Although he likes sketching and other subjects where the basics are important,
he is not sure what to do when it comes to landscape painting or clay work.
Perhaps he likes to spend his time quietly immersed in his work.
In a sense, it is like meditation. While he concentrates on his
work, various things come to his mind. As he does so, his mind becomes calmer.
Then, he began to remind something.

――This week, something happened to him.
He met Maria and made a deal with her. He was attacked decisively by
Riko. And being approached by Kamishiro.
He also held Maria and Riko many, many times.
Before he knew it, the time for art ended while he is thinking about
the changes which he could not even imagine a week ago.
After art class, he goes to the information processing class in the
second half of the day. And it's easy.
Unlike the art class, the content of the information processing
class is similar to a classroom lecture, but the purpose is to learn
techniques. Since the main purpose of the class is to "make those who
can't do it do it". the speed of the class is slow, and to Chihiro, who
has some knowledge of the subject, it's like resting his bones.-tinytranslation.xyz
