Chapter 37
After Nakamori Akimi took over the matters related to the quiz competition, Rikkai University also selected their person in charge, who was the secretary of the student union, Yanagi Renji.
"Liu? He's a suitable candidate. He has a lot of experience and you can learn a lot from him."
As Keigo Atobe flipped through the registration form for the competition, familiar names flashed before his eyes. They were all people who participated in the competition many years ago.
"How are the preparations for the school primary election going?"
"I've asked each class's homeroom teacher to inform them that the preliminary exam will be held in the lecture hall this Friday, and Mr. Takahashi will be there to invigilate."
Nakamori Akimi carefully checked the subsequent arrangements.
"Next week will be intensive training. Considering the other competitions scheduled during the same period, the training time each day won't be very long. After all, it's just an exchange competition. Friendship comes first, competition comes second."
"It's already taking shape, Nakamori."
A slightly teasing voice came out of Atobe Keigo's mouth. Nakamori Akimi closed the information in his hand and sighed to the sky: "Life forces me to do this. There's nothing I can do."
Atobe Keigo let out a short laugh. "I heard from Fuji that they have a practice match with Shitenhoji this week?"
"That's right. This would have been a great opportunity to test Shiraishi, but Fuji and I made such a big fuss on Saturday that it's not appropriate for me to appear before Seigaku's eyes right now." Nakamori Akimi frowned in pain. "But this opportunity is truly rare. I need to find a way."
"If you need me, I can talk to Shiraishi. Seigaku and the others have plans for Saturday, and Hyotei can make plans for the weekend."
Wouldn't the people at Shitenboji be exhausted after playing for two consecutive days? And didn't you consider the transportation issue?
No, for Atobe Keigo, this is not a problem at all.
"No need," Nakamori Akimi had just come up with a brilliant idea, "I've got a solution."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
It was a bit difficult to say. Nakamori Akimi rolled his eyes, leaving a suspense, "Let's keep it mysterious for now, you'll know when the time comes."
Although it's a bit outrageous, as long as she acts well, who knows whether it's true or not.
"Very confident, then I'll wait and see."
Atobe Keigo spoke in a casual tone, his brows twitching slightly, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Nakamori Akimi's mind fluttered, and she remembered the information Sakurada Juri had given her.
"By the way, Atobe, thank you for what happened on Saturday. It's thanks to you that I suppressed it. Otherwise, I would have become a negative example in the education world like Fuji."
A female high school student performed a ritual for love and poisoned high school boys and girls in the street. This is not only a problem in the education field. Judging from the current speed of Internet dissemination, without the suppression of Atobe Keigo, her love-hate relationship with Fuji Shusuke would have spread on major Internet platforms and might even make headlines.
"Sakurada told you?" Atobe Keigo knew who it was without having to guess. He leaned back lazily and said, "There's no need to thank me for such a small thing."
Ding Dong, because of this incident, you are grateful, so in order to thank Atobe Keigo for extending a helping hand, you decided:
A: Invite him to your home and give him a handmade gift.
B: Invite him to dinner and express your sincere gratitude with flowers and music.
C: Invite him to go on a weekend trip. An amusement park is a good choice.
"Choose B."
"Choose C."
The voices of Akimi Nakamori and Keigo Atobe sounded at the same time. She looked at Keigo Atobe in confusion, chose C according to his idea, and then her body was immediately controlled.
"President Atobe, as a token of my gratitude, are you free this weekend? How about going to the amusement park for a day?"
[A wonderful trip to the amusement park is a great opportunity to increase your favorability. Remember to seize the opportunity! Strategy Points +5]
"I'll have someone buy the tickets."
Atobe Keigo's quick actions left Nakamori Akimi stunned.
"No, Atobe, you're so busy every day, do you really have time to play?"
Nakamori Akimi was not exaggerating. With Keigo Atobe's workload, if they were not in the same class, she would not see him for a whole day.
"Don't worry about that. I'll make time for it."
"I'm not worried about that," Nakamori Akimi rubbed his neck, "I'm just curious why you chose C?"
"A few days ago, Xiangri and the others said they wanted to go, so it was a good opportunity for us to go together."
"...Atobe, are you really not short of teammates?"
"Why, you want to learn tennis? A tennis prodigy?"
While they were talking, he had already sent the message and was now looking up at her with a half-smile.
"Tennis Prodigy" Nakamori Akimi: "I'm just asking, wouldn't it be hurtful to bring this up?"
The genius is Tsukishima Sakuramu, not her!
Atobe Keigo glanced at her and let her go.
"I asked someone to buy a few more tickets. After you finish watching the game on Saturday, if everything goes well, you can bring Shiraishi and the others with you."
"Are you serious?" Nakamori Akimi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this some new kind of bad joke?"
"I never joke."
So what you just said about a tennis genius, was it not a joke? Were you really praising her?
Nakamori Akimi fell into a strange silence. Well, putting this aside, based on his proposal just now, she couldn't imagine what kind of chaotic scene would happen that day.
But compared to the weekend which is just a few days away, what she has to face first is the knowledge competition with Rikkai University.
Yanagi Renji is worthy of being a secretary who has been in office for several years. His way of doing things is so mature that he doesn't seem like a high school student at all.
"Nakamori-san, this is roughly how everything is arranged. It's hard to explain over the phone, and I'm really busy, so I'm sorry to bother you with the trip."
Yanagi Renji held the notes in his hand and told her all the arrangements in detail.
"No, it's okay."
Anyway, she is so poor now that she only has money left. With a special driver to pick her up, it will only waste some time.
"Also, I know this is sudden, but could you please help me, Nakamori-san?"
Nakamori Akimi blinked slowly twice, having a bad feeling in his heart.
***
The bad premonition came true.
Nakamori Akimi and the black-haired, green-eyed boy opposite him looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment.
"Ahem, Nakamori-senpai, long time no see."
An awkward expression and polite opening remarks.
Faced with this English-speaking idiot who could only barely understand her after half an hour of speaking, Nakamori Akimi was really at a loss.
She never imagined that Kirihara Akaya's English was so poor that Yanagi Renji would take the initiative to ask for help from her, someone he had only known for a few days.
To be honest, she really didn't want to teach, but...
Nakamori Akimi caught a glimpse of the two people beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi really got what they wanted. Although it all happened by chance, it still achieved their goal.
"It hasn't been that long, Kirihara-kun. Didn't we just meet not long ago?"
The person opposite scratched his head awkwardly, then suddenly slammed the table and stood up, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"Please, senior, this Friday's midterm exam is really important to me. Please teach me English."
What an energetic junior.
Whether he passes the midterm exam or not is a factor that directly determines whether he can play in the game.
"But Akaya, it's already Tuesday. Can you really do it in three days?"
Niou Masaharu's lazy voice sounded, successfully attracting Nakamori Akimi's attention.
This person was obviously talking to Kirihara Akaya, but his eyes were fixed on her. It didn't seem like he was asking Kirihara Akaya if he could do it, but rather questioning her ability.
A provocation? Nakamori Akimi looked back with a smile. This guy is really difficult to deal with.
"Nioh."
Yagyu Hiroshi seemed to always be playing the role of a restrainer. He pushed up his glasses and naturally cut off their eye contact.
Niou Masaharu slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look out the window.
The way these two people get along is really weird. Nakamori Akimi is really curious about what happened to Tsukishima Sakuramu in Rikkai University.
"I can do it!" The only innocent person shouted excitedly, "Senior Liu explained the key points to me. I just need to grasp those few knowledge points. Last time, I understood it as soon as Senior Nakamori explained it. I'm sure Senior Nakamori can teach me this time too."
Nakamori Akimi was deeply skeptical of this statement. Did she understand it as soon as she said it? Did you eat up her half-hour of dry mouth?
However, this is also a disguised affirmation of her teaching ability, right?
Nakamori Akimi, her vanity satisfied, nodded and opened the high school key points that Yanagi Renji gave her.
The probability marked here is...the probability of being tested on the exam?
Could this be the legendary genius who can predict the exam questions?!
Nakamori Akimi was shocked.
