Chapter 119: The Next Itinerary Is Twenty Thousand Meters

On Saturday and Sunday, having studied for two straight days, it was like rewinding a spring, and he once again took on the profession of "student."

On Monday, the three took the train to school.

"Miyuki, have you given up?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Give up..." Ono Mizuki, who was looking at English vocabulary cards, raised her head, noticed his gaze, and knew what he meant.

"Back then you were shorter than me!" she said indignantly.

"Was I?" Qingshan Li laughed.

"Sister!" Ono Mizuki called for backup.

"Seems about the same?" Ono Mika was also embarrassed.

Upon arriving at school, during the homeroom period before the first period, Akita Shio handed out the report cards.

"Come up to get them in student ID order," she said.

"Some students did very well this time, especially Classmate Aoyama, who took first place in math and improved greatly."

Generally speaking, those who did well are announced on the spot.

To find out who did poorly, you just need to see who the teacher has recently chatted with.

"You said skipping class deducts twenty points, but you actually skipped class, didn't you?" After class, Kobayashi Shiki studied Qingshan Li's report card.

"Fool, what one gets is judged by what one does, not what one says." Qingshan Li casually flipped through the Chinese textbook.

Actually, he was racking his brain to recall the knowledge points he had studied yesterday.

While chatting with them, he secretly studied; study efficiency aside, at least he was happy learning.

"You not only said skipping class deducts twenty points, but you actually skipped class," Kobayashi Shiki said.

Aizawa Jun nodded.

"So I originally could have scored 118," Qingshan Li said.

"Full score is 100, and you scored 118?!"

"I only found out recently, 101 points is just the basics."

"Impossible, impossible!" Kobayashi Shiki waved his report card, "Unless you're Chinese; I heard Chinese math papers have a full score of 150."

"I heard science is even higher?" Aizawa Jun only vaguely knew, not too sure.

Qingshan Li had long since stopped knowing what the current college entrance exam full score is.

"By the way," he remembered something, "who posted our group photo from the maid cafe on TikTok?"

His tone was not good.

Kobayashi Shiki immediately pointed at Aizawa Jun.

Aizawa Jun was slow by one beat, then also pointed at Kobayashi Shiki.

"Scolded by Senior Mika and Junior Mizuki?" Kobayashi Shiki smiled obsequiously, "Isn't that a reward?"

"For someone like me who gets scolded often, it isn't."

"So envious, Qingshan," Aizawa Jun said yearningly.

"You guys... forget it."

"No, if even you, Qingshan, give up on us, we're not even scum!"

The third period was PE class, and everyone went to the locker room to change into sportswear.

In May, some still wore jackets, while others were already in short sleeves and shorts; the sports teacher made no requirements about it.

"The last Friday of this month, that is the 27th, will hold the long-distance running competition, same as previous years: first walk from school to Akasaka Goyo, run four laps, then take the school bus back to school."

"Here we go again!"

"It must rain on the 27th!"

"I'll trade Aizawa's lifespan!"

"Why not use your own?!"

"You brats," the sports teacher had only an amused expression on his face, "Alright, for the long-distance run at the end of the month, from now on every PE class is running practice—first ten laps to warm up."

A sharp whistle sounded.

"Start running!"

Everyone dragged their feet onto the track.

Qingshan Li also encountered Ono Mizuki, who was on the track as well.

Not only Class 2-4 and Ono Mizuki's class, but all classes' PE classes would prepare for the long-distance run at the end of the month.

"Brother, I heard we have to run over twenty thousand meters, is that true?"

"True, true, Miyue Little Sister," Kobayashi Shiki fawned across Qingshan Li.

Ono Mizuki hid behind Qingshan Li.

"Is she Qing Shan Jun's sister? So cute~" The girls from Class 4, though only one year older, treated Ono Mizuki like a kindergartener.

"Miyue Little Sister, we can testify for Qingshan; we did nothing at the maid cafe!" Kobayashi Shiki said.

"Yeah, didn't eat rice, didn't drink drinks," Qingshan Li still remembered.

"Qing Shan Jun wearing rabbit ears is so cute!" The girls also remembered this.

"I saved it." By the time Qingshan Li went to look, the girl who said this had already hidden in the crowd.

"What about my cat ears?" Kobayashi Shiki asked.

"Ah, right, Aizawa Jun's bear ears are also cute!"

Aizawa Jun ran with a serious expression.

PE class ended, and almost the entire next day was spent explaining the test papers.

After school, club activities became lively again; Qingshan Li studied in the classroom for half an hour before slowly going to the Seiten Band Club.

On the corridor bulletin board at Kaimei High School, the top fifty of the April Monthly Exam were posted.

Qingshan Li counted from the back; 44th place was him.

Not bad, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti, two Fa, combined again is 8, a very auspicious number.

This month's midterm exam target is set at 37th place, a ranking that looks utterly ordinary no matter how you see it, and not particularly pleasing.

This time's 37th place is 'Yoshikawa Xue'.

Yoshikawa Xue should at this moment feel an inexplicable chill because of the Ancient God's gaze.

Continuing upward, among some names, occasionally heard.

Second place is Miyase Yaeko, National Language 90, Social Studies 94, Math 97, Science 96, English 100.

Phew!

Almost had Math first place taken by her!

Second Year first place is Mikami Ai, National Language 99, Social Studies 96, Math 92, Science 91, English 100.

Indeed someone without troubles.

Kaimei High School's monthly exam is very difficult; if it were the midterm or final exam, the two's scores would be very close to the '500' ceiling.

Qingshan Li had also heard someone at school get a full score, but at the time his head was full of part-time work, he didn't care much about these, so he didn't remember who it was.

Arriving at the Sunny Band Club, everyone had already started practicing.

"How was it?" Ono Mika seemed to have just finished singing and asked everyone's opinion.

"Sounds great!" Drummer Gu Mumi nodded hard, as if pulling down a gate, "Senior Mika sings very well!"

"It sounds good, but" Agatsuma Haruka, with a guitar slung over her body, pondered.

"It lacks a feeling." F·Rino said.

Qingshan Li sat down while looking around, and took out last year's "College Entrance Exam Real Questions Collection · National Language".

"Like the standard answer, but without the solution process." Bass Sakurako tried to describe this feeling in words.

"Let's try again, try a few more times, just pick the best version." Agatsuma Haruka said, "Gu Mumi."

Drummer Gu Mumi struck the drumsticks.

《First time going to the Louvre》

《There wasn't any special feeling》

《Because the Mona Lisa belonging only to me》

《I had already met》

Practice began again.

Qingshan Li held a book in his left hand, spun a pen in his right hand, didn't actually write anything down, only silently wrote the answers in his heart.

【Question Five】

【91】【Underline Part A, please judge the older sister's mood at this time, choose one from four options.】

【Underline Part A, please judge the sister's Mood at this time, and choose one from the four Options.】

《I already understood》

《Even if this world heads toward ending》

《Even if age gradually grows》

《You are also someone I cannot forget》

《Do you remember chasing flowing wind's》

《That bright and dazzling afternoon》

Ono Mika sang Hikaru Utada's song.

A song of about four minutes finished singing, Qingshan Li didn't complete a single question, immersed in the singing voice.

"This time's feeling seems pretty good!" Drummer Gu Mumi excitedly said.

"Listening makes one feel very at ease, a warm current surged out." F·Rino said holding her heart.

"It's this feeling—life is lonely, this is fate, friendship and love although cannot eradicate it, can comfort it!" Bass Sakurako said intoxicated, "I really want to fall in love!"

"Don't get in heat." Agatsuma Haruka said.
