22 Revenge doesn't happen overnight

  "Ahem..."

  Meeting the two's wary and reproachful eyes, Shinichi coughed and opened the study room door as if nothing had happened.

  "Please come in... I was really joking just now, don't be so vigilant! Besides, I might not be able to defeat the two of you alone. Let me speak straight, if I make a mistake later, surround me and punch me! Bang my face hard against the detector in the room! You can open the door and escape from here. It's fine to whip out your phone and be ready to call the police at any moment, but I recommend calling the administrator's phone below, rescue will arrive much quicker. I already said that, you can rest assured."

  Seeing that the two of them were still reluctant to follow, Shinichi sighed, so he had no choice but to endure his embarrassment and take the initiative to show his weakness.

  That's right, as a boy, Shinichi really didn't have the confidence to win against two girls in a small space....

  His physical fitness was very poor. Even though he thought of exercising after awakening his past life memories at the age of 10, his foundation was weak. He would be out of breath after a bit of intense training, nor had he ever won a fight. In terms of endurance below the level of an ordinary person.

  Having a deep understanding of this weakness, he decided to stop struggling and become a conscientious interiorist. Give up all kinds of things that require practice, and instead sit in the study room, never let go of a book, try to use his brain instead of physical activity, and use intelligence to avoid weakness. Don't let his awkwardness show up in front of other people.

  Fortunately, he has a physique that doesn't gain weight. Otherwise, he spends all day at home, sitting in a chair, reading, eating and sleeping. Even if he didn't become a fat house, his belly would definitely be bloated.

  "Because Asada-san said so..."

  Seeing Shinichi's sincere expression and not looking fake, Furuhashi gave Ogata a questioning look, while the other party tilted his head, thought for a moment without expression, and finally nodded.

  "Then I will bother you…"

  Before the two entered, Furuhashi quietly grabbed Shinichi's sleeve and whispered.

  "Ricchan is relatively modest, and he can easily take jokes seriously… So Asada-san, please don't make jokes like that in the future."

  "Sorry, I understand..." Shinichi admitted his mistake honestly, but it was a little wrong when he thought about it.

  Shinichi closed the door after the two entered the study room.

  They looked at the interior furnishings curiously, with shock and awe in their big eyes.

  In this study, the decoration is clean and beautiful. There are not only overstuffed sofa chairs, a glass coffee table, a table with a lamp, a small round wooden meeting table, a bookshelf full of books, but also a toilet with bathing facilities, a simple kitchen, a fridge, a water dispenser, etc. Although small, it can be seen that Suchi'in Academy is not stingy.

  They have never seen a high-end study. It is better to say that it is more like a high-end study, or a capsule hotel.

  "Are all the Student Council members so extravagant..." Furuhashi couldn't help but sigh, looking at the books on the bookshelves and the snack boxes in the cupboard, her eyes showed envy.

  "The different treatment is too big." Ogata expressed her thoughts very straightforwardly.

  "After all, members of the Student Council have great responsibilities. Even if I am a member of the library committee with few duties, I still have to review a lot of materials every day." Shinichi adjusted the indoor lighting and music on the small screen next to the wall.

"Actually, we don't really use the study room here much. Everyone feels uncomfortable and can't read books, it's better to go to the library."

  "Yes!" The two nodded in agreement, because they felt very uncomfortable now, they didn't know where to put their hands, and they sat down on the sofa a little awkwardly.

  Shinichi glanced at the two of them, then suddenly took out an unopened disposable paper cup from the cupboard, handed it in its entirety, then pointed at the fridge and water dispenser.

Furuhashi and Ogata: "??"

  Shinichi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "So that you don't think that I will prescribe medicine, please go get some water, a drink or a biscuit yourself. If you can, please help me carry a glass of warm water."

  "???"

  Furuhashi and Ogata watched dumbfounded as Shinichi took his school bag, sat across from them, took out some documents and started sorting them, completely ignoring their reactions.

  "...It feels really annoying." Ogata closed her mouth, looked at Shinichi with her eyes, a look of anger appeared on her face.

Furuhashi twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether to smile or blame: "Revenge wasn't overnight, Asada-san is still narrow-minded… En, maybe it was really good intentions to put us at ease? Ricchan want a drink?"

  "Drink." Ogata nodded and the two went to the refrigerator, and finally brought two glasses of fruit juice and a glass of warm water.

  Shinichi neatly placed the notebook and paper on the table, looked up, and thanked Ogata who came over with a glass of water.

  "Thank You."

  Then his eyes became serious again, and he reaffirmed his educational progress and planning steps for today.

   Confused for a moment, Ogata watched suspiciously for a moment, then frowned slightly, sat back down in her chair, and took a light sip of her juice.

  For some reason, the slight unhappiness brought about by that action just now disappeared, and there was only peace in her heart, just like the atmosphere in the self-study room right now.

  She suddenly remembered what Shinichi had said to Mafuyu in the morning, and the contents of the chat with Furuhashi recently.

  (Asada-san? He's a serious and kind-hearted person. Even if he's a bit clumsy, he won't do anything bad...)

  Well, let's not talk about whether it's good or not, but it has to be true that he won't do anything bad.

  If he could do bad things, he wouldn't prepare so many study materials, and he wouldn't write down those dense teaching points in the notebook.

  It took him less than half a day to prepare to this level, even though a person as simple as Ogata Rizu, she didn't think he still had the extra thoughts to think bad things.

  On the contrary, she still thinks Shinichi is really great. Not only admire, but also respect him for daring to argue with Mafuyu.

  The seeds of trust are planted.

  Classical music was playing softly in the room, and a faint minty fragrance wafting from the essential oil lamp was not overpowering but refreshing. Two girls were sitting on the sofa, drinking fruit juice, while quietly waiting" Shinichi spoke.

  "Okay... Before teaching officially starts, let's do a preliminary test."

  Not long after, Shinichi took special test papers for two subjects, one literature and one science. After the two took out writing implements, they placed their phones on the table and started the timing app.

  "This exam paper is an important knowledge point that I have summarized. Most mock exams from second grade to first grade high school will provide important knowledge points. If everything is correct, it means that both of you are at the level of first class high school…"

  Although Shinichi's voice softened, Furuhashi and Ogata gulped nervously, the hand holding the pen couldn't help but tighten.

  "Well then, the exam time is 60 minutes, now... Begin!"

  With determination in their eyes and full speed thinking, like warriors ready to go, the two girls stood on the battlefield of their own.

  After that, the sound of the pen started to continue, reverberating faintly in the space where there were only three people.

  Shinichi took out a novel from the bookshelf, and relaxed his tense brain through a relaxing reading experience.

  After an hour.

  "…Furuhashi Fumino and Rizu Ogata Rizu, it was really hard for you two to miss coming to Suchi'in Academy."

  Putting down his red pen, Shinichi glanced at the two papers with only one circle each, and said to them in an emotionless voice.

  The two of them who were already saddened by those words, their heads were so low that they couldn't lift it, and sat down on the sofa full of grievances and muttering.

  "Why did I need to understand advanced math formulas like that in second year of junior high school... Kids these days are all monsters..."

  "Why can't I analyze the complex geometry of character psychology and sentence construction in second grade... All kids are monsters nowadays..."

  Shinichi frowned and handed over the same new test paper as before.

  "Ogata writes about science, and Furuhashi writes about liberal arts. Let's start again, there is no time limit."

  The two took the test papers with strange expressions on their faces, and without asking why, they lowered their heads and started writing.

  Less than 10 minutes.

  "It's finished!" They handed over the papers at the same time, with their backs straight, faces upturned, and their faces shining with pride, like children waiting for praise.

  After all, this was a practical subject, and when they wrote down neatly, the stagnation and distress just now were swept away.

  Shinichi didn't read it, but asked them to correct their respective test papers.

  Shortly after.

  "Ricchan/Fumino, are you a monster?!"

  The two looked up and looked at each other in horror.

  Rolling his eyes, Shinichi spread his arms and said, "That's what I wanted to say too."
