Kapitel 114: -113- Won't be able to handle
On the deck of the cruise ship, more than a hundred students were divided into four groups according to their respective classes and lined up neatly.
The four homeroom teachers were positioned at the forefront of their respective groups, lined up in a row, facing all the students.
Perhaps because it was summer vacation, the students didn't think they would lose class points due to disciplinary issues, so many of them were complaining as they lined up.
"It's so hot..."
"The sun is too strong..."
"Even though this sportswear is quite thin, it's still winter sportswear..."
"They make us wear winter sportswear under the sun?"
"Give me a break, it's not like we're in a endurance contest."
"I really want to go swimming soon!"
"The beach!"
"Swimsuits!"
The students complained one after another, sweating profusely under the blazing sun.
By the way, the last two shouts came from Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who expressed their desires and impulses vividly under Sudou Ken's complaint about wanting to swim.
Hori was also lined up in the queue, taking his usual seat in the back row.
Beside him, Horikita Suzune, who had been reading books in her room all the time, arrived late as if she was sneaking in.
"Huh?"
Originally, Hori just glanced casually at Horikita Suzune, but after seeing her, his expression froze slightly, and his eyebrows furrowed.
Horikita Suzune seemed to notice Hori's reaction, turned her head, gave him a glare, and questioned him.
"What's the problem?"
Her voice, her tone, were still as merciless as before.
At first glance, Horikita Suzune seemed unchanged.
However, how could Hori overlook the changes in Horikita Suzune?
Even though Horikita Suzune seemed unremarkable at first glance, Hori noticed.
This girl, who is usually meticulous and strict with herself, at this moment, not only did her waterfall-like black hair seem somewhat messy, but her cheeks also had an unhealthy color.
Not only that.
While other students felt hot due to the sun's exposure, Horikita Suzune seemed to feel a bit cold, unconsciously rubbing her arms all the time.
All of this indicated that this girl had changed compared to before.
As for what specifically happened, others might not be able to see it, but Hori's knowledge of the human body is top-notch in the school and even in the world. With just one glance, he thought of something from Horikita Suzune's abnormal behavior.
So, Hori just said one sentence.
"Something like this happened at a time like this. Your luck really isn't good."
Bad luck.
Hori described Horikita Suzune's current situation with such words.
Unfortunately, Horikita Suzune's attitude did not soften.
"Don't act like you know me well."
Horikita Suzune's words and actions revealed clear rejection.
That was the performance that one would have when someone was about to touch their private matters.
As if wanting to bypass this topic, Horikita Suzune withdrew her gaze from Hori and turned to the four homeroom teachers lined up in front of the deck, and spoke like this.
"I heard that you have already contacted the leaders of the other classes, is that right?"
Horikita Suzune really cared about this matter.
Because those people were all opponents that Horikita Suzune must overcome.
"Sort of." Hori also withdrew his gaze from Horikita Suzune, saying indifferently, "Is there a problem?"
This could be considered as a response to Horikita Suzune's previous statement.
But Horikita Suzune did not show any sign of concern, even for this matter.
"How was it?" Horikita Suzune just asked this one question.
And Hori seemed to have anticipated the appearance of this question, and answered almost without hesitation.
"If there is no growth, you won't be able to handle any of them."
Hori's blunt statement seemed to anger Horikita Suzune, who glared at him again.
But this time, Hori didn't look at Horikita Suzune again. He just stared ahead, silent.
Horikita Suzune bit her lip, reluctantly averting her gaze this time.
In the past, with confidence in her abilities and high self-esteem, Horikita Suzune would never admit to Hori's statement.
Unfortunately, today, Horikita Suzune didn't have the energy to argue with Hori anymore.
Not to mention, with Horikita Suzune's late arrival, the designated thirty-minute assembly time had passed.
Almost the first second after the thirty minutes had passed, a tall male teacher walked out of the homeroom teacher's queue.
The male teacher looked like a physical education teacher.
However, in reality, this teacher was in charge of the English subject and was the homeroom teacher of Class A—Mashima Tomonari.
Apart from this homeroom teacher of Class A, the homeroom teachers of the other three classes did not step forward.
Regardless of whether it was Hoshinomiya Chie, the homeroom teacher of Class B, or Sakagami Kazuma, the homeroom teacher of Class C, or Chabashira Sae, the homeroom teacher of Class D, they all just stood in place.
In this situation, Mashima Tomonari surveyed all the students from the four classes and spoke on behalf of the school.
"First of all, on behalf of the school, I welcome all the first-year students who have come here for the summer vacation program."
Mashima Tomonari addressed all the first-year students loudly.
"As new students this year, you have successfully passed the mid-term and final exams of the first semester and have come here. Judging from the results of previous years, the number of students who dropped out in your year is the lowest, reaching an incredible zero dropout rate. This has become a hot topic in the school, widely circulated among teachers and senior students. Just on this point, you can be proud."
Mashima Tomonari's words made all the first-year students look at each other at first, then they all showed proud expressions almost simultaneously.
Especially Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, who appeared deeply moved.
To stay in this school, to avoid being expelled by the school, the three of them had accumulated a lot of debt, and they were still paying off those debts.
Having paid such a high price and barely passed the final exams, the three of them were indeed worthy of pride.
Even in Class C, many people showed expressions of celebration, but the students of Class A and Class B, who generally had high academic performance, showed no fluctuations, as if it were a matter of course.
Mashima Tomonari continued speaking.
"This time, a total of 159 first-year students have come to participate in the school's arranged summer program. One student cannot participate in this plan due to health reasons. As the homeroom teacher of that student in Class A, I can only express my regret, but I will still impartially oversee the upcoming competition."
With these words, Mashima Tomonari changed the subject.
"So, let's get started."
"The first special exam of this academic year."
