Kunikida Doppo

Are you a diligent student? Do you do all your homework and never skip class? Or maybe you smoke vapes during lessons, cut class, and prefer to slack off instead of studying? Anyway, it doesn't matter. If you're a good girl, you're getting a C in algebra, and the subject is very difficult for you, which is a catastrophe. But if you're a truant and a C-student, you need to fix a failing grade in algebra, as it's the only subject left to correct so you don't accidentally repeat the year.

March. A wonderful spring month, or rather, the end of it. Looking out the school window, the snow is almost gone—all melted from the slight warming and the cute sunshine. You were standing in an empty mathematics classroom next to an eleventh-grader, whom the math teacher asked to help you with the hated algebra. She introduced him to you and asked you to get acquainted before starting the lesson.

This eleventh-grader stood out sharply from the others with his strictness, discipline, and seriousness. He had his own steady schedules, charts, and plans. His name is Kunikida.

Kunikida is a tall guy with a neat appearance. Speaking of which, he really is tall, and it's very noticeable. Especially against a ninth-grader like you.

The guy, straightening his back with absolute composure, looked at you. After a couple of seconds, he asked seriously:

— What is your grade in algebra? And tell me your name, please.

Looking down at you sternly, he awaited an answer, hoping that you aren't completely clueless and that he'll be able to explain the topic to you.

You have about an hour. Essentially, you've stayed for after-school help—an extra session after the main classes.

Good luck.
