Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Doma slowed his pace and waited for Hayakawa for a moment, then his gaze quietly fell on Hayakawa again.

Hayakawa, unable to bear it any longer, simply ignored it and took out his "Really Easy to Remember" notebook from his pocket to read, feeling a sense of admiration.

People come and go around me, but only "Zhenhaoji" (a learning app) has always stayed by my side. Indeed, learning is the true companion.

The two walked together and soon arrived at the tram stop.

"Doma..."

Hayakawa glanced at the people at the morning train station entrance, then at Umaru beside her, and asked, "Would you like to take the train with me?"

"if not?"

Umaru rolled her eyes at Hayakawa: "Are we going to different schools?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa said, puzzled, "But you've never walked with me before. I thought you were intentionally keeping your distance from me so that your classmates wouldn't misunderstand."

"Huh? What's wrong with taking a tram? I don't think it's a big deal."

Doma looked at Hayakawa with annoyance and said, "The reason I didn't go to school with you before was because you got up too early every day. Many times when I was still in bed, you had already left. I knocked on your door but there was no response. How could I take the train?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "You knocked on my door before, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai blushed and turned her head away, embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "Wha...what's wrong? My brother asked me to take care of you more and hopes I can teach your friends at school, is that not allowed?"

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent, paying little attention to Umaru's words, and instead fell into deep thought.

So that's how it is. Umaru didn't go to school with me before because I woke up too early?

There was no way around it; I was in a state of extreme excitement every morning. Except for very special circumstances, such as when I had a fever at the temple fair last time, I usually got up early to go to school for morning self-study. I never thought I would forget about Xiaomai.

Last night, after being hugged by Ayame Kominami, I felt safe and warm, and soon I became sleepy. Coincidentally, Ayame Kominami was also asleep, so Hayakawa forced himself to carry her to the bedroom and then went back to his room to sleep. Unexpectedly, the quality of his sleep was so good. Even though he didn't study last night and went to bed earlier than usual, he woke up and played much more than usual. No wonder he was so energetic when he woke up this morning, and even started to "love the world".

Hayakawa clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented surge of strength, as if he could support the sky and split the earth with his bare hands. This was completely unlike his previous appearance when he would force himself to be energetic in the morning, but his brows betrayed his exhaustion.

I should be more efficient at studying now, and it seems that proper rest is actually better.

Should I also slow down a bit, as Senior Xiaomeilang suggested?

Hayakawa recalled the image of Minami Aizami from last night; she stood gracefully in the dim light, soft and reassuring to be held.

I wish I could hug you one more time...

Hayakawa: "..."

Inner demons! Slay them! Slay them! Slay them!

Hayakawa was in agony. Last night's experience had dealt another heavy blow to his already wavering resolve, making him even more shaky now.

Indeed, emotions are a burden on humankind; they can turn a wise scholar into a self-pitying mediocre person, truly "relentlessly destroying people."

I should stay as far away from it as possible.

Hayakawa shook his head, trying to shake the image of Minami Aizawa out of his mind.

One should have lofty aspirations and not be bound by mere physical appearance.

"arrive."

Umaru looked at the tram in front of her, said something to Hayakawa, and then got on the tram.

Hayakawa followed, but suddenly seemed to remember something and took out his phone.

I overslept today, so Rizu Ogata probably didn't wait for me.

I opened the chat app and sure enough, I saw a message from Riju Ogata, which roughly said, "She went to school before I arrived."

"Sorry, I overslept today."

Hayakawa replied briefly with a sense of apology, then put away his phone, gripped the handrail beside him with one hand, and silently read "Real Easy to Remember" in the other.

Seeing how focused he was on his studies, and finding no reason to disturb him, Doma Umaru sat down on a chair nearby, gazing listlessly out the window.

Speechless all the way.

……

After arriving at school, the two returned to their respective classes. The first two classes in the morning were unremarkable, but during the third class, they were informed that the class was canceled and replaced with a physical fitness test for multiple classes.

"Please line up in an orderly manner, do not make noise, and go to the locker room to change into your sportswear."

The physical education teacher, who was the strongest yet also the weakest and sickest in the entire school and whose classes were often taken over by other teachers under the pretext of illness, was now in high spirits and directing the students: "Then go to the stadium and assemble according to your class."

Hayakawa followed at the back of the group with a gloomy expression, too angry to speak, secretly observing the gorilla-like physical education teacher with a venomous look.

You wretched, brainless ape-like creature! Do you even know what class this is? This is a prestigious math class! How dare you, a lowly PE teacher, take it over?! Can you take responsibility for wasting my study time?!

What's wrong with this school? Even if a physical fitness test is absolutely necessary, they can't use regular class time for it. Won't that take up physical education class time?

Even if physical education class isn't good, there are still breaks between classes, lunch breaks, and after-school club activities, right?

Oh... I almost forgot, this is a terrible high school where the teachers don't even know how to extend class time.

Hayakawa was furious at this thought. He couldn't even do something as unethical as going overtime. Hayakawa felt that this kind of person was not worthy of being called a teacher!

A class is 45 minutes long.

Hayakawa followed the group while silently calculating the costs in his mind.

A 45-minute math class typically consists of 30 minutes of lecture and 15 minutes of independent work for students, during which they can work out 5 to 10 problems.

Chapter 228 Physical Testing Content

All things considered, I not only missed 30 minutes of lectures, but also missed 5-10 practice problems. The total loss was immeasurable. I lost a crucial opportunity to close the gap, and the perfect chance to defeat Furuhashi and Ogata in one fell swoop was wasted.

This enormous loss caused Hayakawa immense grief and despair, making him wish he could immediately launch a dark upheaval in the school and turn all the teachers who did not extend class time or occupy regular classes into nourishment for the Emperor.

Hayakawa entered the locker room with endless resentment in her heart, then changed into Ichinose school sportswear and went to the playground. She immediately saw the A class group where Fumino Furuhashi was and the C class group where Rizu Ogata was.

"Hayakawa-kun."

Upon seeing Hayakawa, Riju Ogata's eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.

Hayakawa's expression darkened the moment he saw the girl in front of him, and a wicked thought arose in his heart.

This girl is Rizu Ogata. Relying on her slight talent in science, she has repeatedly humiliated the Emperor and is already courting death.

Rizu Ogata ran over and looked at Hayakawa with calm concern, asking, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Huh? No."

Hayakawa was taken aback: "Why do you think that?"

"Because you overslept this morning,"

Rizu Ogata said seriously, "If you're sleeping in, it's very likely that you're not feeling well."

Hayakawa's expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him, suspecting that she was deliberately making fun of him.

But seeing her serious expression, it didn't seem quite right, so Hayakawa could only say, "No, I just overslept."

Upon hearing this, Ogata Riju looked at Hayakawa carefully and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be feeling unwell at all. In fact, you seem very energetic, even more so than usual."

"Is this so..."

Hayakawa felt the unprecedented burst of energy in his body and became even more certain that he needed to relax.

I'll just take a fixed 15-minute break every day; any longer and I'll feel guilty.

"Let's not talk about me now, how are you?"

Hayakawa looked at Ogata Risu and said softly, "Today... is everything alright?"

Ogata Rizu tilted her head in confusion upon hearing this, then suddenly realized and said, "I'm wearing my sports bra properly, I haven't forgotten."

"Who asked you this!"

Hayakawa roared, "I'm asking how your physical fitness test preparations are going, whether you've done any warm-ups or anything like that."

"Ah, I see."

Rizu Ogata blushed slightly, then pretended to stretch her petite body and said seriously, "Everything is prepared, there are no problems."

"Are you... really okay?"

Hayakawa said with a look of suspicion, "These kinds of guarantees usually go wrong."

"will not."

Rizu Ogata shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips: "No."

question."

Hayakawa: "..."

"Alright, Rizu Ogata, it's almost our turn to be tested,"

At that moment, Sekijo, dressed in sportswear, walked over and said to Ogata, "Don't stay here, people are noticing you."

"Guancheng, isn't this it? You're also doing physical tests?"

Hayakawa greeted Sawako Sekijo at first, then his expression froze.

At this moment, Sekijo wasn't wearing her signature full-length white lab coat, but rather Ichinose's tracksuit like the other students, revealing her slender, fair forearms and toned, strong thighs. Most striking were her slim waist and…

"Um…"

Hayakawa stared blankly at Sawako Sekijo in front of him, his gaze drawn to her by an invisible force.

The sports uniform at Ichinose Academy is a standard style: a white short-sleeved shirt and athletic shorts. It's very tight and shows off the girls' figures, which has drawn opposition from some girls. However, the school hasn't changed it, and Hayakawa once suspected that it was a personal preference of a certain principal.

Sawako Sekijo is currently wearing this tracksuit, and it has caught Hayakawa's eye.

Hayakawa: "..."

To be honest, I never noticed her before when she always wore such an oversized white lab coat, but now that she's wearing a figure-hugging sportswear outfit, she's completely exposed. I never expected Guan Cheng to be so well-endowed.

What's so surprising? Does this seemingly unremarkable classmate actually have a hidden super sexy figure?

As Hayakawa was thinking, someone suddenly pinched her waist. Looking down, she saw Ogata Riju staring at her with her pink cheeks puffed out.

"Don't look at Guancheng with that kind of eyes."

Ogata Riju looked at Hayakawa earnestly with a hamster-like expression.

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

Hayakawa turned his head away, his face expressionless, but his eyes were met with another invisible force, even stronger than the one he had just experienced.

I almost forgot about you. If we're talking about super sexy figures, you're the real heavyweight. Guan Cheng can hide it even in a white coat, but you probably can't be covered up even in a down jacket.

Hayakawa silently shifted her gaze away from Ogata Riju's ample bosom and took two deep breaths.

No, if I keep paying attention, my inner demons will possess me.

"..."

Ogata Rizu noticed the change in Hayakawa's gaze, which seemed to have shifted from Sekijo to herself.

A barely perceptible blush appeared on Ogata Riju's face, and she lowered her head, pretending to be a coward.

I stopped Hayakawa earlier because Sekijo is my friend, and I need to protect her. Of course, I had to stop Hayakawa's H-behavior. But now that Sekijo is alright, there's no need to stop her anymore.

Thinking to herself, Riju Ogata pretended to look elsewhere, acting as if Hayakawa wasn't there.

Then she was pulled away by Sawako Sekijo.

After all, it's almost their class's turn for the physical fitness test, and they've already started calling for participants.

Hayakawa watched the two girls' departing figures, then glanced at Fumino Furuhashi, who was quietly waving to him from Class A not far away. He nodded casually and joined the last line.

His physical fitness test has also begun.

……

The physical fitness test at Ichinose Academy was unremarkable, mainly consisting of height and weight, lung capacity, sit-and-reach, pull-ups, etc.

Then there are the standard 1000-meter run for boys and 800-meter run for girls. These are the most common physical fitness test items. Some schools may add long jump and swimming, but Ichinose Academy does not.

Hayakawa measured his height and weight, put away his data, and then went to the indoor gymnasium where the sit-and-reach test was being conducted. There was a long queue inside, with students from all classes.
