3-21: The School’s Strongest Enemy (2/2)

3-21: The School’s Strongest Enemy (2/2)

It seems you studied too much on your own somewhere. Forget those things first.

Ahaha

If he could do that, he wouldnt be having such a hard time, Shinichi wryly smiled.

Although he had that part of him that resembled your typical Japanese, Shinichi still did his best.

Unfortunately, with his lack of sleep, the incomprehensible words that continued to resound in the classroom was no different from a lullaby.

After 20 minutes since the class started, Shinichi found himself with his face buried in his desk, fast asleep.

Normally, the teacher would scold a student like him, but the problem was that creature on his head.

That creature would ferociously threaten anyone who tried to wake him up, so no one could approach him.

This was her being considerate of Shinichis lack of sleep. Although this could also be said to be Shinichis fault for not being able to predict this outcome.

In the end, though, he stayed fast asleep until class ended, and mistakenly ended up believing that no one would try to wake him up even if he fell asleep.

At that, he made up his mind to quickly abandon Garestos language studies. After attending the classes here for a few days, he decided to abandon the other classes too. Although, the reason was slightly different.

First was Garestos society, where the lesson for today was geography.

This time he didnt make a mistake, but because of that his teacher and classmates actually became suspicious of him.

How come you already know about the parts we havent discussed yet?

Huh!?

That was actually a joke on the teachers part. It was a lighthearted attempt meant to break the ice for the newcomer transfer student who knew nothing about their classs progress, but Shinichi answered the question like an honest idiot.

If the information he was privy to was something that was available in the rest of the world, it would have been fine, but the knowledge and information taught at this school wasnt the publicly available sort.

He was somehow able to fool everyone by saying that he studied at the library, but he still couldnt help but be concerned.

The truth is that hes already studied Garestos geography and history, and has already memorized the relevant details.

Unlike with foreign languages, in history one learns the trends and the event, while in geography, one learns the position and characteristics.

Shinichi had to study history in order to find a way back home, and he also had to find out for himself just how accurate the information that has been implanted into him.

Thats why Shinichi didnt have the slightest difficulty in remembering such things.

Of course, him originally being good in such subjects also had an influence, but either way, he was really bad at feigning ignorance about the things he already knew.

He didnt learn about these things during lecture. He just read about them from the host computer of the school.

He could have chosen to learn about the progress and pace of the class, but he didnt feel it was worth it to learn such needlessly specific things just so he could feign ignorance, so just like with Garestos language studies, he decided to just abandon Garestos social studies.

In fact, there were a lot of classes that he had to give up on because hed already studied ahead.

The skills were no exception too. Even the ones that he couldnt use, as long as theyve already been revealed here at this school, he had a full grasp of their effects and energy consumption.

A big part of the reason he transferred here was because he needed to recuperate his mind, so if he were to mentally exhaust himself like that, his whole transfer would lose meaning.

As a result, a few days later, he decided to play hooky by choosing the I will watch by learning option.

His classmates openly denounced his actions, but he never lent an ear to them in the first place, so he just took it in stride.

The teacher at the time was Frire, and she didnt say anything, so such actions were just disregarded.

It was in this way that Shinichi attended the classes but didnt participate.

He never felt like studying from the start, so he took such actions early on, but at the same time, he was also really curious and enthusiastic about studying.

Just in these subjects, in these subjects alone, I need to at least learn as much as the others! Thats why, if I fall asleep, I dont care if you have to use electricity, wake me up!

Kyu, Kyuu!

Although confused, she nodded and agreed. This was in regards to the five subjects.

In other words, national language, math, science, social studies, and English. Shinichi strongly felt like he had to study these subjects.

But dont forget, Shinichi was drifted away as soon as he entered second year middle school.

Naturally, he has yet to master the subjects back at middle school.

Could a boy like that really jump into high school curriculum all of the sudden?

I couldnt understand a thing!?

Kyu! Kyui!

After taking a series of lesson, the results were so bad, Shinichi went into shock.

She, who was riding on his shoulders, desperately tried to console him, but his face remained petrified.

The subjects he was originally bad at, math and English, were now even worse.

The national language he was average at, wasnt that bad if you took away the classic literature part.

The social studies that he specialized at, the only part he was still good at was Japanese history, but everything else hed forgotten.

The science was just like the technology lessons from Garesto. He didnt understand a lick.

On top of that, the main subjects of this school were the Garesto related classes, so those five subjects were almost treated as extra lessons.

There wasnt enough time for them, so the classes were rushed, making it even harder for him to understand the subjects.

The other students had studied desperately for their entrance exams, so this was more of a review for them, and they didnt have much of a hard time keeping up, but Shinichi was desperate.

Unfortunately, such efforts were but a drop in the water.

Who wouldve thought that studying could be so troublesome?

This was the moment when the boy, who never yielded to anyone at Falandia, was brought to his knees.
