Chapter 56
"Almost, I understand it all," Kitakami Yoru nodded, still quite confident.
"Then wait a moment, I'll write two problems, and you come up and solve them," Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say another word, turned around, and began writing furiously on the blackboard with chalk.
Tap tap tap!
The sound of chalk hitting the blackboard rang out constantly.
A few minutes later, Yukinoshita Yukino signaled for Kitakami Yoru to come up and answer.
Taking a deep breath, Kitakami Yoru picked up a piece of chalk from the long table, stood in front of the blackboard, and carefully observed the problems.
His brain spun fast, and he already had a train of thought.
"Use the problem-solving method I just taught you," Yukinoshita Yukino reminded him indifferently.
Taking advantage of the short moment Kitakami Yoru was solving the problem, she walked down to drink some water and looked at Yuigahama Yui again.
"If Yuigahama-kun is interested, you can join in too?"
"I remember Yuigahama-kun's grades are also just in the middle of the grade, right?"
Yukinoshita Yukino said.
"No need, Little Yukino~"
Yuigahama Yui hurriedly waved her hand with a smile.
A while later, Kitakami Yoru walked down quite confidently.
Before he could speak, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the answer and knew the result.
"It seems Kitakami-kun is more hardworking than I imagined; he's still worth teaching."
Yukinoshita Yukino praised him rarely, then added:
"Today's class ends here; since you've learned well, try this test paper."
"Test paper?"
Kitakami Yoru showed a confused expression.
Only to see Yukinoshita Yukino take out a large white A4 sheet of paper from her schoolbag, filled with neat problems, looking just like a test paper.
"Little Yukino, these problems, you didn't handwrite them, did you?" Yuigahama Yui exclaimed after seeing it.
"Answer them, let me see your level," Yukinoshita Yukino didn't answer Yuigahama Yui's question.
Kitakami Yoru took this neat test paper handwritten by Yukinoshita Yukino and read it seriously.
"Yukinoshita really put her heart into it..." Kitakami Yoru muttered.
The problems on it covered all subjects, all corresponding to his current level.
The handwriting was neat, the page was clear and clean, and the ink hadn't even completely dried yet.
"Answer the problems, it's getting late," Yukinoshita Yukino urged coldly.
Immediately, Kitakami Yoru began to answer the problems.
It wasn't until club activity time was almost over that Kitakami Yoru finished writing.
Yukinoshita Yukino graded it on the spot; these problems were handwritten by her, and for her, there was no difference in difficulty from 1+1 equals what.
In less than a minute, scanning through the answers, she knew the result.
"How... how is it?" Kitakami Yoru's nervous emotion infected Yuigahama Yui beside him.
"It's okay, barely passing, keep it up," Yukinoshita Yukino nodded gently toward Kitakami Yoru.
"Whew~"
Someone in the Service Club felt their heart drop to the ground.
"Congratulations, Kitakami-kun, and Little Yukino, can we start now?" Yuigahama Yui said to Yukinoshita Yukino with a smile.
Hearing this, Kitakami Yoru looked curiously at the two.
What was going on that he didn't know about?
"Little Yukino is going to teach me how to bake cookies, because it's Mom's birthday in a while, and I want to give her a different kind of gift."
"Kitakami-kun, do you want to join us? It's Friday anyway, and it's still early."
Yuigahama Yui explained.
"This... it is indeed still early."
"Can I come?"
Kitakami Yoru replied hesitantly.
"Of course you can, I also want one more person to help me taste them and give me opinions!" Yuigahama Yui nodded forcefully.
She had secretly tried it at home by herself earlier, looking at a recipe, but it was a complete failure.
She hadn't even mixed the cookie batter well, and what she baked just turned into a lump of something that looked very disgusting.
Holding the expectation that it was just a bit ugly but tasted okay.
She tried a little, and as a result, she had no appetite for dinner.
Simply tidying up the Service Club, the three came to the home economics classroom.
The weekly home economics class taught cooking, sewing, simple hygiene care, and so on.
After preparing everything, Yukinoshita Yukino began teaching.
They were making very simple cookie biscuits.
The ingredients were butter, white sugar, eggs, low-gluten flour, and salt.
Kitakami Yoru would absolutely not eat this kind of high-calorie baked food.
However, taking a bite to try the taste was fine.
It was impossible for a few grams of cookies to affect his weight loss, right?
Trying to make them himself wouldn't make him gain weight either.
"First soften the butter, add white sugar..."
"Stir, according to the hardness and moisture of the dough, put it into a piping bag or knead it into a dough, and use a mold to press out the shape you like..."
"Brush a little oil and egg wash, and put it into the baking tray."
In just five or six minutes, a baking tray in front of Yukinoshita Yukino was covered with a dozen semi-finished cookies.
She didn't make many, just a little bit.
This wasn't made to be eaten, just for teaching purposes.
"Wow, you're so amazing, Little Yukino," Yuigahama Yui exclaimed in admiration.
"Alright, next you try it yourselves, I'll teach you from the side, Yuigahama-kun," Yukinoshita Yukino didn't show any joy at being praised.
After saying that, Yukinoshita Yukino had already put on anti-scald gloves and put the baking tray into the oven.
"Ah, so fast..." Yuigahama Yui exclaimed in surprise; she hadn't understood yet.
"I'll try it too."
Kitakami Yoru picked up a bowl and started trying it himself.
It looked very simple.
He usually looked at recipes and cooked for himself, so he just had to follow the instructions.
Yukinoshita Yukino was also on the side reminding him of the proportions of the ingredients.
Seeing Kitakami Yoru start acting, Yuigahama Yui looked at Yukinoshita Yukino for help and started fumbling.
Kitakami Yoru did it very seriously, discovering that he seemed to have a talent for cooking; maybe he could become a famous chef in the future?
Recalling Yukinoshita Yukino's operation process.
His movements were a bit slow, but Kitakami Yoru also successfully made the dough, put it into the piping bag, and squeezed it into the baking tray.

"You've already finished it, Kitakami-kun..."
Yuigahama Yui, who had been scolded countless times by Yukinoshita Yukino, was still stuck at the proportion of butter and flour.
Every time, it was either too much butter or the wrong amount of flour.
"Alright, keep it up," Kitakami Yoru replied indifferently.
"Am I a complete idiot with no feminine charm?" Yuigahama Yui was about to fall into self-doubt.
Kitakami Yoru put on anti-scald gloves and put the cookies he made into the oven.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yukinoshita Yukino flipped her own cookies and taught the clumsy Yuigahama Yui hand-in-hand.
Kitakami Yoru took out his phone and started reading the news.
It was still very early until the time he had agreed with Gabriel. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
