Progress

Fuutarou yawned as he ran up the stairs to the apartment where the Nakano Quintuplets live.

"God it's been one day and running up the stairs is boring now." Fuutarou grumbled before opening the door, finding himself at the 30th floor, the top floor of the PENTAGON.

"The hole is still there." Fuutarou smiled a little, noticing the hole in the wall he made by punching through it while arguing with Nino.

"Let's see..... Before I go in...." Fuutarou took out a notebook that had a title called 'Quintessential Quintuplets' Graduation Plan' written on the cover page.

Fuutarou did a quick read through about what he was going to teach the Quints today.

Judging from their scores they got from the mock exam they did yesterday, Fuutarou was definitely not going to teach them complicated stuff from the start.

Fuutarou was an extremely analytical person and he couldn't help that. He noticed by checking the database of the Black Rose Girls School, the school that the Quints spent their first year of high school in, that each one of the sisters has different subjects they excel in, but even the grades of those subjects are still mediocre.

Through that he also found out that their academic abilities are very low, and they almost fail their First Year of high school. They also generally have low capability of learning.

Fuutarou may be going insane, even though he already is, that whatever feat one of the sisters can achieve, the other four must be able to do it, too, since they're Quintuplets. He believed that the Nakano Quintuplets have the potential to get higher academic scores.

Ichika excelled in math, Nino in English, Miku in Social Studies, Yotsuba in Japanese and Itsuki in science.

"Even though they probably won't, since they each excel in one out of the five subjects, they can help each other out by teaching the other the respective subjects they excel in." Fuutarou whispered as he closed the notebook and put it back in his bag.

"These girls are special in their own way. I believe they all can do great things academically with me guiding them. The only thing they need to do is to have the will to improve." Fuutarou added confidently before knocking on the door to the Quints' apartment.

*Knock Knock Knock!!*

"Housekeeping!!" Fuutarou shouted with an excited grin on his face. He cannot wait to see their faces again.

It was Nino who opened the door. She had a small smile on her face as she looked at Fuutarou. "Hello Uesugi, you're right on time." Nino greeted him. Fuutarou raised an eyebrow at her.

" I thought you said you wouldn't be excited when I come here for the tutoring sessions. " Fuutarou pointed out. Nino scoffed rolled her eyes.

"Tch! I'm not excited!" Nino denied. Fuutarou chuckle.

"If you say so. We'll be learning English in this session by the way." Fuutarou purposely added, getting Nino's hopes up.

'Bullseye.' Fuutarou thought and looked at Nino. He looked up and down. Nino's comment blushed and covered her chest.

"What are you looking at pervert?!" Nino shouted. Fuutarou smiled at her.

"The dress looks good on you, Nino. I can't help but stare at it. C'mon, let's go. " Fuutarou smiled at Nino who blushed at his compliment.

"W-wait up Uesugi!"

"Good afternoon, girls. *Drinks water* Today's subject, slavery—*Cough!!* English." Fuutarou coughed awkwardly as he and the Nakano quintuplets sat down around the coffee table.

Before starting his lesson, Fuutarou first gauged them about what they already knew and where they're having trouble with the subject so he doesn't waste time in his sessions.

Turns out there was a lot they were confused about but Fuutarou wasn't discouraged at the slightest.

He set up a major goal and several minor goals for them that they needed to complete before the end of the month.

He started tutoring them about simple past tense and past continuous tense. He broke each part down into smaller parts and worked through them together slowly.

Small fun quizzes helped them a lot, there were a lot of 'ah-ha!' moments and there were a lot of moments where the Quints' eyebrows were furrowed, but that was lessening as the lesson went on while The 'ah-ha!' moments were getting more and more consistent.

When Fuutarou gave them a small worksheet for them to answer, they were able to smoothly work through it on their own while Fuutarou gave them some hints about the parts they were confused about.

'These girls ain't stupid at all. They just don't believe in themselves. And most of all, they're very lazy.' Fuutarou chuckled as he looked at the Quints. Their heads were laid on the table and they went groaning weakly, tired from all the studying they did.

"Fuutarou...Are you done grading the worksheets?" Miku asked lazily. Fuutarou smiled and nodded.

"Yep, the results are 100 points. "

"Combined?"

"Nah, you guys got them all correct." Fuutarou smiled at them. They all suddenly regained their energy and snatched the papers from his hands.

"I'm so proud of you all! This is the first step to getting high marks in your exams. Keep this up and you'll be straight A students in no time." Fuutarou then grinned at them.

" For doing so well and being very good students. You guys get a reward. "

" Ooh! What is it?! " Yotsuba asked excitedly. Fuutarou raised his hands.

"You guys get head pats from me!" Fuutarou declared. Fuutarou looked at Yotsuba who blushed under his piercing gaze.

"Hehehe...." Fuutarou laughed as he started patting her head. A vividly blushing Yotsuba wanted to hide in a shell because of how shy she was feeling right now.

"Good job, Yotsuba. You and your sisters are doing a great job. You too, Ichika. You're doing very very good." Fuutarou whispered as he patted Yotsuba's and Ichika's head at the same time. Ichika smiled and blushed happily because she was getting attention from her friend.

"Hehe...." Fuutarou slid his hands down, cupping one side of Yotsuba's and Ichika's cheeks. He looked at Itsuki and Miku who immediately looked away from him.

"Don't run away now. You all deserve this for being hard workers." Fuutarou reminded them before sitting in front of Miku and Itsuki. He started patting their heads gently, sighing in satisfaction when he felt their silky soft hair.

"Good good. Itsuki, you are a very hard working girl. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to ask me about anything, we're seatmates and friends after all. Nice glasses by the way. They really suit you." Fuutarou whispered his compliment to Itsuki's ear, making her shiver and blush deeply at his words. Fuutarou then looked at Miku.

"And Miku, even though we aren't in the same class, that doesn't mean you can't ask me questions in school. We're friends, and friendship is a very comforting thing to have.

That goes for all of you too." Fuutarou looked at the Nakano sisters with a warm expression.

"Sounds like Uesugi is very lonely." Nino teased with a smirk on her face. Fuutarou chuckled.

"Maybe I am. It's nice to have some friends in school for once. All the friends I have are studying in other high schools." Fuutarou explained.

"Well, even if you beg me, I will never ever be your friend!" Nino declared confidently while crossing her arms.

" I think you just jinxed yourself, Nino. And it's your turn for head pats now." Fuutarou reminded her before patting her head.

" H-hey! W-who said you could touch me!!" Nino shouted bashfully while Fuutarou ruffled up her hair a little.

"It's just some head pats. Wow, you have really soft hair Nino. I think your hair is the prettiest out of the five of you." Fuutarou complimented her.

" You're just saying that to make me feel better! Baka! " Nino pouted at him as Fuutarou laughed loudly.

" I'm serious, Nino. I don't lie about stuff like this. " Fuutarou smiled at the Quints as he then started packing his stuff up. The Quints frowned at his actions.

"You're leaving already, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki asked him. Fuutarou chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah, sorry. Time does fly really fast doesn't it? It feels like I only came here a few minutes ago." Fuutarou replied. Ichika sighed and smiled at Fuutarou.

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you in school tomorrow, Fuutarou-kun! " Ichika said. Fuutarou nodded at her and smiled at the quintuplets.

" I'm off now, see you soon. Oh, and complete those assignments I left on the table. It's pretty easy since it's about what you learned today. See you!!" Fuutarou waved at them before leaving the apartment. Yotsuba sighed.

" And he's gone. Hmm....." She pouted as she looked at the worksheets Fuutarou gave for her and her sisters.

"Hey, am I the only one, or does this house feels kinda gloomy and boring when Fuutarou left?" Miku asked quietly while she took out her Nintendo switch she hid behind the couch's pillow.

"Yeah.....What should we do now?" Itsuki asked while cleaning her reading glasses. Ichika hummed as she looked at her worksheet with a bored expression.

"We should do these right now or else we might forget it." Ichika suggested. Nino raised her hand.

"W-well, if you have any questions, you can ask me!" Nino offered. Her sisters looked at her with weird expressions. Nino glared at them.

" Wh-what?! I can be nice too!!! "

" So, how was the second tutoring session with the Quints? " Isanari asked Fuutarou as he, Fuutarou and Raiha were eating dinner together.

" Fun, very fun. It's the most fun I've had in a long time." Fuutarou replied to him.

" How the hell is teaching five students who are closer than ever to flunking high school fun for you?" Isanari asked his son while having a confused expression on him. Fuutarou shrugged. Raiha giggled.

"I think it's because they're very pretty! Right big bro? " Raiha asked him with a sly smirk on her face. Fuutarou blushed and smiled.

" Well, you're partly right about that. But that's not all of it, I just don't know how to describe it.

" Son..... "

" Yeah? "

"You're definitely in love with them. "

"Well damn... "
