At school
Kaito: Hello, Park.
Park: Hey.
Kaito: I studied today for the exams.
Park: Ask yourself this question.
Kaito: Why do I always get good grades?
Park: I think your last test was really good, you increased from 49 to 50.
Kaito (in his thoughts): Ah, yes, I remembered that in the past, I wasn't succeeding despite my hard work, so I took summer tests and couldn't visit my grandfather then.
Park: Oh, look, it's Rin. Did you reconcile with her or not?
Kaito: Yes.
Park: I know trying to reconcile is difficult, but what if you did?
Kaito: Yes.
Park: That was fast.
Kaito: And now I remember telling Rin about my gift and you said you'd punish me, do you remember?
Park: Why are you suddenly excited to go to class to prepare for exams?
Kaito: It's escaping.
Kaito: Misaki.
Misaki: I’m not giving you the summary of the lessons I have.
Kaito: What?
Misaki: Like every time, you come and try to take it.
Kaito: I didn’t take it from you. We’re still at the start of the year.
Misaki: Then let’s refresh your memory. I asked Rin to bring my notes for the weekly tests and last month, remember?
Kaito (in his thoughts): Yes, I remember. When I go back to the future, the days here pass the same way there.
Misaki: So if that’s not it, then what do you want?
Kaito: Can you tutor me?
Misaki: Trying to teach an i***t is closer to him learning from you.
Kaito: Are you mocking me?
Misaki: What do you think?
Kaito: I’m serious.
Misaki (looking at him): Then come at lunch, even though it’s late, you have a test before lunch, and then also some homework.
Kaito: Don’t worry, I’m ready for both.
Misaki: Really? That’s surprising. Well, come after lunch.
A voice from behind is holding Misaki
Kaito: What's after lunch?
Kaito: I asked Misaki to tutor me during lunch.
Rin: Misaki, teaching an i***t is better for you than him.
Misaki: Well, I don’t think I’m alone in this opinion.
Kaito: Please, stop.
Rin: Then I’ll join you.
Misaki: This will be really tiring.
The school bell rings
Kaito: Well, let’s go to class.
Misaki: Alright.
In class
Rin: Kaito, the exam is coming in the second period, and Misaki will tutor you during lunch.
Kaito: Don’t worry, I’m ready.
Rin: I doubt it.
Kaito: Then let’s make a bet.
Rin: Alright, if I get a higher score, I get to make a request. But if I win, I’ll ask for something.
Kaito: Okay.
After the exam, in the library
Misaki: Alright, let’s see what you don’t know, sports or science?
Kaito: Sports.
Misaki: This is a test, let’s see what you don’t know.
Kaito: Alright.
Rin: He’ll solve it quickly.
Misaki: No, he’ll struggle.
Rin: He passed the test we took with a perfect score.
Misaki: How?
Kaito: I’m done.
Misaki checks the paper: No, he made a lot of mistakes. Maybe he found a way to cheat.
Rin: Did you cheat?
Kaito: No, but my memory is weak.
Misaki: No, just admit it’s empty. Not a single correct answer. This is going to be tough.
Kaito: Then why don’t we study at Rin’s place?
Misaki: I prefer studying alone.
Kaito: Rin, fulfill our agreement.
Misaki: What agreement?
Rin: The one where whoever gets the highest grade gets to make a request. And that was your request.
Misaki: I’m not involved.
Rin: She agreed to be with us.
Misaki: How much do you want to die if you don’t back off?
Kaito: I need you to teach me, please.
Misaki: No.
Rin: Please, just this time.
Misaki: Fine.
Kaito: So, Thursday?
Misaki: Why not today?
Kaito: Because of the exams.
In reality, not for the exams, but because tomorrow, problems with you, Misaki, will start and I need to find a way to prevent that.
Misaki (after school): Teaching Kaito felt like talking to myself. He exhausted me. How did he get a perfect score on the test?
Some people passing by: Look at that girl. Isn’t she beautiful? Let’s go get her number.
One of the boys: Hey, what’s your name?
Misaki doesn’t answer and walks away
The boy: You’re attractive. How about you come with us? We’re going to have fun, want to come?
Misaki: Move away.
The boy: What did you say?
Misaki hits him: I said move out of my way.
The boy: You little…
Kaito from behind: I advise you not to try.
The boy: Who are you?
Kaito: I’m her friend, and it’s good that she shut you up. I was actually planning to break your arm and hand.
The boy: What are you saying, jerk?
Kaito grabs him and punches him, then his friends run away
Misaki: How?
Kaito: I was passing by. Are you okay?
Misaki: Thanks, and I can handle my own affairs. Bye.
Kaito: I’ll accompany you.
Misaki: No thanks, I don’t want a stalker chasing me.
Kaito: Rin, right?
Misaki (laughs): Yes, bye.
Bullies: That guy needs to be punished.
The boy: Yes, and I know exactly how to do it.
