First Day of Exams…

It's finally over. I worked my brain so hard, I feel like I might pass out. It's over for me…

My brain's fried…

We've only just gotten through our first day of exams. We've got more exams coming up tomorrow, so we can't relax quite yet.

Can't do it… Brain, empty…

I've overworked my brain this much, and it's still not over? Just end me now.

I think I did better on these exams than I usually do. I worked really hard, so I'm gonna get some shut-eye now. Zzz…

I'm sleepy, too.

So, you think the study sessions worked?

Absolutely!

I felt much more confident about my exams because of them.

Yeah, I totally understand! Teaching others is a great way to review as well.

I wish we could just aim for an average of 60 instead of everyone needing to score 60 or more.

I like the sound of that! That way, if someone scores 100, I can get away with 20!

You could put in a BIT more effort than that, Kasumi… So anyway, let's all aim for 60 or higher, guys!

That hurdle is way too high.

I'd feel better if this were about our electives. I'd barely break a sweat trying to score a 60 in styling.

There are styling exams in your life design course? That sure is different from the general curriculum.

Styling?! Wow! What other kinds of exams do you have?

We have to answer questions about fashion and draw up design sketches, that kind of thing.

There are also exams about the history of fashion, and even hair and makeup.

It sounds so fancy and fun!

I guess it is, but… It's still rather difficult, you know.

You're part of the life design course as well, aren't you, Kanata?

Does that mean you come up with your own designs, too?

Oh, I sure do. But mine are all food-based.

Food-based?

Yup! I chose food design, so I have nutritional science exams and that kind of stuff.

Oh, of course! I guess that makes sense since you're so good at cooking.

I wanna be sure I can make tasty boxed lunches for Haruka.

You have shared some of your cooking with us when you've made too much before too. Your fried chicken was so buono!

Oh my, I want to try some myself!

You're all in your element when it comes to your specialty subjects.

I sure am, but I'm still pretty bad at science and math.

I can handle science and math, but Japanese is rough.

Haha… Uh, if I remember correctly, Shizuku and Emma are in the international exchange course, right?

Well, yes, but aside from choosing another language to study on top of Japanese, our course isn't really different from the general curriculum.

I'm fine with foreign languages, it's Japanese that I find hard. I can speak it, but reading it is a whole other story. Hiragana, katakana, AND kanji? My brain's going to pop!

I understand why Emma chose the international exchange course, but what about you, Shizuku?

I want to be an actress on an international scale, so I wanted to study about different countries.

*Chuckle* If anyone can do it, it's you, Shizuku.

Yeah, I agree. So anyway, let's give it our best shot in tomorrow's exams!

All right! I'm gonna take a little nap to get ready for tomorrow…

No naps allowed, Kana!

Huh?

You need to cram as much as you can for tomorrow! You hear me?!

Whaaat?!

Th-This isn't like you at all, Ai!

Now's not the time to get lazy. Now get out your notes and books!

C-Can't we take a little break first? I mean, we're all pretty exhausted after those tests…

Nope and nope! Time is of the essence! Shizuku! Physics is your worst subject, right? I'll teach you.

Don't you think you're being a bit too iron-fisted, Ai?

She's a demon… We have a demon amongst us… Rina-chan Board says, “Tremble!”

If being a demon is what it takes to keep us school idols, then so be it! Now pick up your pens and get to studying!

*Whine* I don't have enough room in my brain for all this…

Okay! I guess I'll have to MAKE some room for it!

*Wail* Have mercy!
