Chapter 42
A two-person date turned into a group date.
With the monthly exams approaching, Seniors Taocheng, Kikumaru, and Haitang were under pressure from their teacher to achieve satisfactory results. Otherwise, their club activities would be canceled, and they might even be unable to participate in subsequent competitions. So, Senior Oishi and Senior Gan organized a review mobilization meeting, aiming to help the three seniors address any gaps before the exams, so as not to affect their training and competition schedules.
Director Tezuka and Senior Kawamura were unable to come due to other matters, while Echizen was exempted from attending because he was a sophomore with decent grades.
So we moved from the small table for two to a long table that could accommodate more than ten people.
"By the way, why is Er staying with his junior?"
After everyone was seated, Kikumaru Eiji suddenly asked.
He looked at me and then at Senior Fuji, his eyes were puzzled and revealed clear stupidity.
It seemed that he didn't suspect anything, he was just simply curious about the matter.
But I was still shocked and subconsciously glanced at Senior Bu Er. The latter had a smile on his face, without showing any signs of guilt, unlike me.
I couldn’t help but sigh again: Senior Fuji… is really strong!
I quickly straightened myself up, tried to speak frankly, and explained,
"Because... the monthly exam is coming up, and my math is terrible, so please help me review the key points, Senior Fuji."
"So that's how it is... That means..."
Kikumaru Eiji paused, then looked at me suspiciously. Just as I was feeling my heart race under his gaze, he spoke cheerfully:
"It turns out that the schoolgirl is also a poor student like us!"
So, can you please not break a sentence into two parts? It’s really scary!
Besides, I don't want to be a poor student like you! What's with that look on your face that says, "I can't find a soulmate anywhere in the world, and yet my soulmate is right next to me?"
Although my inner thoughts were hitting hard, I remained submissive on the surface. Just as I was about to say something meaningless to smooth over the topic, Senior Fuji spoke up—
"...Eiji, you signed a 'life-or-death agreement' with the coach, didn't you? If you still fail the English exam this month, you'll have to suspend club activities and competition training... For the sake of your review, I think you really need to do that. Give Eiji a heads-up... That way you can review more effectively~"
As soon as he finished speaking, I felt that everyone suddenly became quiet. Everyone's expression, except for Seniors Gan and Fuji, especially Senior Kikumaru, was pale, as if it would shatter in the next second.
what happened?
On the other hand, Senior Gan's glasses flashed instantly. After exchanging glances with Senior Fuji, he pulled out a large bottle of green juice from his bag. The juice was so viscous that it had no fluidity at all and placed it on the table. "Everyone, this is the latest version of Gan Juice I developed, the fourteenth generation. It adds more nutrients than the previous thirteenth generation, and I've also improved the flavor. It has a richer taste than the previous generation, and it also has a special aroma!"
Good, awesome!
Is it true that Senior Gan is the legendary expert in nutritious cooking?
That green color and viscosity make it look like it has a very high nutritional value...
But why do everyone's faces seem even uglier?
Wait, Kikumaru-senpai, why did you just shatter?!
Senior Fuji thought for a moment, then suggested cheerfully, "Let's have a test-taking competition. For every correct answer, you'll get a sip of dry juice... Well, that wouldn't provide enough nutrition for Eiji, since he probably won't get many correct answers anyway... So why not just give each wrong answer a sip of dry juice as a reward?"
Kikumaru-senpai's body was shattered and blown away by the wind.
This makes me have to try that big green bottle of 'Dry Juice 14th Generation' again... What on earth is so horrible?!
Everyone finally came back to their senses from Gan Juice's rule.
No, even if I die, I have to drag someone else down with me!
then--
Everyone's eyes turned to me.
I:?
"In that case, if Koizumi-kun gets a question wrong, she should also take a sip. That's only fair!"
Kikumaru Eiji pointed at me and said.
Senior Kikumaru, I was originally sympathizing with you... Now I have only one thing to say: you really deserve it!
I immediately opened my mouth to retort, "But I..." I'm not from your tennis club...
Senior Fuji spoke again, "It's okay, Nana is my student now. If she does something wrong, it's all my fault as a teacher, so let me drink her share~"
Everyone immediately exclaimed.
So, Fuji is taking the opportunity to reward himself...
I looked at Bu Er with starry eyes, my eyes full of gratitude.
Although I have never tasted the so-called 'dry juice', it is not difficult to guess from everyone's reactions that it must be super unpalatable!
So, Senior Fuji, you really made me cry to death.
And so, this life-or-death (?) duel began—
The first one to fail was Takeshi Momoshiro, who had suggested that I participate in the competition. He persisted for fifteen minutes and finally failed on an English grammar question. As soon as the big cross was drawn on the test paper, Senior Gan had already filled a glass of dry juice for him.
Senior Taocheng picked up the glass of dry juice with a look of despair and said in a tone of determination: "Everyone, I'm leaving first! English, see you in the next life!"
Then drink it all in one gulp.
A second later, he fell on the table with a smile on his face.
And my pupils trembled.
Don’t you take a sip for each wrong question? Senior, you must be thirsty to drink the whole cup, right?
Also, what kind of biological weapon is this? !
The smell is coming to me!
The second one was Kaido-senpai. I had complete confidence in him, his face brimming with muscle and strength, his face etched with the message "I'm not to be trifled with." He didn't hesitate, and after making a mistake, he took a big sip, not wanting to let the dry juice linger in his mouth for even a second before swallowing it immediately.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds...
Just when I thought Senior Kaido had pulled through, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed in his chair.
I immediately tugged at the corner of Senior Fuji's clothes and whispered, "Senior Kaidou, are you really okay? You're foaming at the mouth. How about I help call an ambulance..."
He pulled out his cell phone and pretended to call the emergency number.
But he held me down and said, "It's okay, they just fell asleep temporarily and will wake up on their own soon... Nana, don't worry..."
If I don’t worry, there will be a ghost!
This is Auntie Hayami's shop. If someone dies, it's no joke...
But everyone seemed to be used to it, which made me more convinced of one idea, that is - the members of the tennis club are really not simple!
Are they really all super-powered?
Then it was Senior Kikumaru's turn. At the thirty-sixth minute mark, he finally made a mistake and after taking a sip of the dry juice, he collapsed with tears in his eyes.
Now all the pressure is on me.
All the poor students on the field except me have fallen down.
My right hand holding the pen was trembling slightly. I stared at the math multiple-choice question in front of me without looking away. Under the gaze of everyone else, I wrote down an "A" tremblingly and hesitantly.
I hope it works, right?...
"Oh no! Junior sister did something wrong!"
Hope is dashed...
Then a cup full of dry juice was handed to Senior Fuji. Since he and I were sitting next to each other, the indescribable smell of the dry juice came into my nostrils very clearly.
How should I put it...it's a bit like the smell of extremely rotten fish that has been left for a long time mixed with the smell of fermented vegetables and fruits.
I almost jumped out.
So I was so worried that I even forgot to pretend and said directly: "Zhou Zhu...or maybe we should not..."
He gave me a comforting smile and drank it without changing his expression.
I almost cried.
But after a full minute, he didn't fall down. Seeing that I was staring at him, hesitant to speak, he held his cheek with one hand and turned his face to look at me, "Nana, you seem to be expecting something?"
I finally woke up from my dream and smiled awkwardly, "You, you're okay, that's great... How does it taste?"
He nodded. "It's good. I feel refreshed all of a sudden... But I think adding the spiciness of mustard might make it more effective..."
As Senior Fuji was speaking, Senior Gan took out paper and a notebook, nodding and taking notes like a good student.
What a horrible taste.
What a scary senior...
Because the other three had lost the ability to continue the competition, the competition became a one-sided competition for me, and the rules were that if I made a mistake, Senior Fuji would have to drink a mouthful of dry juice.
At the beginning, I was still worried that after a few sips, Senior Bu Er would not be able to hold on and would collapse like everyone else... As a result, a test paper was about to be finished, and Senior Gan's huge bottle of dry juice was about to be empty. Senior Bu Er still looked at ease, and even showed a little regret when he looked at the dry juice that was about to be empty.
I:......
No, what are you regretting?
I secretly complained in my heart that I accidentally got another big question wrong.
I looked at Senior Fuji apologetically, and the latter smiled and shook his head helplessly, and took the last cup of dry juice from Senior Gan. Thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, he drank the rest of the dry juice in the cup in one breath.
Although I don't know what the composition of Fuji-senpai's taste and smell is, I still thought he was so handsome when he drank the cup of that horrible sticky liquid that was almost emitting green gas.
Then, in my admiring gaze, he slowly fell down.
I:?
ah? ? ?
Almost at the same time that Senior Fuji collapsed, the other three finally woke up. Seeing Fuji collapse, Senior Taocheng immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Fuji actually collapsed? What? Well done!"
Senior Gan calmly pushed his glasses up, as if everything was under control. He said, "It's green vinegar. I intended it to have more layers of flavor, but it ended up sinking to the bottom, so the final glass tasted super sour."
Kikumaru Eiji over there had already very skillfully taken out his mobile phone and was taking pictures left and right, trying to fully record this precious scene.
Although there may be severe retaliation afterwards...
But never mind, being happy is the most important thing now!
I watched helplessly as Fuji-senpai collapsed before me. My ears instantly buzzed, and I didn't pay attention to the conversation between the other seniors. I just thought Fuji-senpai must have been holding on, drinking so much awful dry juice, and finally collapsed at the last moment.
I don't think he got food poisoning...
All this is because of me. If I weren't so stupid that I got so many math problems wrong...
"Eh?? Why are you crying, schoolgirl?"
"Are you worried about Fuji? It's okay, he just fainted for a moment and woke up soon, just like us..."
"That is to say, you don't have to worry at all..."
I burst into tears and hugged Senior Fuji, "Wuwuwu, he's not your boyfriend, of course you don't feel bad for him, wuwuwuwu..."
"Huh?"
“Eh eh?”
“Eh hey hey???”
"What?! Boyfriend?!"
Amidst the surprised shouts of the crowd and my heart-wrenching cries, Gan was the only one who remained calm. A flash of light reflected from his glasses, he stared at the corners of Bu Er's lips that were slightly raised, and made a speechless "tsk" sound.
Is this also in your calculations?
Tsk, so childish.
