"You have started a new mission: [Teacher Nakamura's Hope (0/1)]."
"Instructions: Please be among the top 20 in the class in this semester's midterm test."
"Task reward: 1000 points, memory potion*1."
"Isn't it only a month?"
Kato Yusuke flipped through the calendar, feeling a little speechless and choked by this fact.
The entire academic year of Japanese high school is composed of three semesters.
They are:
First semester from April to July.
Second semester from September to December.
The third semester from January to March of the following year.
There are also summer vacation, winter vacation and spring vacation interspersed in between.
There will be a midterm + final exam in each semester.
Kato Yusuke is now in the first semester. April has just passed in the middle of April, and the date of the midterm exam is on the last day of next month, which is May 31st.
The content of the test includes Chinese language, social studies, mathematics, science, and English, a total of 5 subjects.
When it came time for the final exam, 4 more subjects were added to these 5 subjects, including music, art, health and physical education, and family classes, for a total of 9 subjects.
Kato Yusuke's first-year Class E has a total of 40 students. His current ranking in the class is——
40/40
That is the last one.
This type of group also has such titles.
A laggard, a scumbag, a laggard.
Often active in hot-blooded comics, such as a certain Uzumaki Naruto, Kamijou Touma, and Shiba Jungle (blacked out).
There's some weird stuff mixed in.
However, Kato Yusuke thinks that he does not belong to this category of people. As he said before, he is just too busy and has no time to study.
If he had enough time, the content in the book wouldn't really be a problem to him, he was his younger brother.
As for the mission?
"This is a question about giving away points... no, let's give out money."
And it’s still 100,000 yen, which is enough for him to work more than 80 hours, not to mention it comes with a magical potion that you can easily understand at a glance.
For this type of tasks, Kato Yusuke feels that the system can add a few more.
Top 20 in the class?
His goal is the stars and the sea!
"I'm not bragging. At least the top three in the class shouldn't have any problems..."
"Hey Kato——!"
A scolding from the front of the classroom interrupted his thoughts.
A total of three people in the classroom, including him, cast their eyes on the podium. There was no way... this name was so down-to-earth.
I saw Mr. Matsumoto on the podium looking at him with angry eyes... Kato Yusuke?
Seeing this, the other two people who were startled breathed a sigh of relief.
"What have you been talking to yourself over there by yourself since just now? Stand up and answer the question!"
Matsumoto pointed at Kato Yusuke and said, then turned around and wrote a question on the blackboard.
[It is known that in n (n is greater than or equal to 4, and is an integer) base system. 】
[2 to the 12th power = 1331 (where 2, 12, and 1331 are all n-base numbers.]
[Find the value of n. (Please write the value of n in decimal)]
After finishing writing, he threw away the chalk, clapped his hands, and looked at Kato Yusuke with a straight face.
"Come on, answer it."
After looking at the topic on the blackboard and then at the textbook in his hand, Kato Yusuke was silent for a long time.
"...Teacher, it seems that we haven't reached this point yet."
"Just tell me, since you dare to lose focus in my class, you should be aware of it."
Matsumoto said rather arrogantly.
Gan!
This is obviously an attempt to embarrass me, Fat Tiger.
In fact, it was indeed the case, but there was nothing I could do about it. Kato Yusuke was distracted and caught, and he hit the muzzle of the gun.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said, "I don't know how."
"Then you just stand and listen to the lecture." Matsumoto snorted coldly, pushed up the reflective glasses on the bridge of his nose, then picked up the textbook and said slowly to the following: "Next, let's continue to talk about the definition of irrational numbers.
."
The class burst into laughter.
Kato Yusuke was a little stunned and tried his best to mobilize his facial muscles to manage his expression.
This incident made him understand a truth.
"Before anything is done successfully, one should remain calm on the outside but full of excitement on the inside."
Then set a small goal first, starting from the top 20...no, 30th place in the class.
——From "The Self-cultivation of Kato, the Scumbag, and Yusuke"
…
Jingle bell bell bell bell.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Then, that's the end of today's class."
Matsumoto announced, then walked out of the classroom with the textbook under his arm.
Kato Yusuke sat down on the chair and moved his stiff limbs a little.
"It's really yours, Kato."
Takei, who was in the same class, came over and looked at Kato Yusuke with a suppressed smile on his face: "You dare to desert Matsumoto's class. I admire you. You are worthy of the 'man' sitting on the throne. I would like to call you the strongest."
!”
“Have you watched too many sand sculpture animations?”
Kato Yusuke said calmly.
"I agree with this."
Yamaguchi on the side also spoke.
"But Kato——"
He looked at Kato Yusuke with a wry smile on his face.
"You are now registered with Matsumoto. With that person's character, I'm afraid he will order you next time. Is that okay?"
Even Takei stopped talking.
As Yusuke Kato's classmates and friends, Ichiro Takei and Takashi Yamaguchi also knew a little bit about the situation at their friend's home, and knew that the other person was occupied with a lot of time by working part-time.
"It's not bad. After all, I planned to study hard for a while."
Kato Yusuke said.
"Even Matsumoto can't always ask super-class questions, so as long as you write down all the knowledge points, you'll be fine."
"I see."
Yamaguchi Takashi nodded: "In that case, it doesn't matter. Do you want to go to dinner together?"
This proposal was immediately recognized by Ichiro Takei.
"Ah——! In this case, I want to eat ramen."
Takei raised his hands and said.
"It's ramen again...I think it's time for you to change it. You've been eating it for a week."
Yamaguchi said helplessly, and then looked at Kato Yusuke.
"What do you think, Kato?"
In response, Kato Yusuke shook his head, then took out a wooden box wrapped in blue velvet from the table and said to the two of them.
"Forget it today, I brought a lunch box."
"It's so rare. You made this yourself? What's inside?"
"Beef rice bowl...probably."
"Probably? That means you didn't do it yourself, right...? Open it and take a look?"
Yamaguchi's tone became more subtle, and even Takei cast a curious look.
Kato Yusuke did his best and untied the flannel in front of the two of them, revealing the long black wooden box, and then opened the lid.
