Chapter 52 Acknowledge Your Foolishness
After Shizuka Hiratsuka’s inspection,
the job training ended smoothly.
The Service Club once again fell into a period of inactivity, with few people coming to request events.
It’s not that world peace is bad, but for the Service Club, which relies on Yui to stir up trouble, requests are essential to prove their existence.
However, Yukinoshita, the president, seemed to enjoy the current idle status.
Every day, she would hold a light novel and read it with relish, and when she got bored, she would tease Asakura Yuu with her sharp tongue, finding amusement in it.
“The monthly exam is approaching, have you studied properly, Asakura?”
“What does being first in science have to do with me being first in liberal arts? Do you want to join the liberal arts and get crushed by my scores? What? You don’t like liberal arts?.. The excuses of a coward are so shallow, huh?”
“Why aren’t you talking? Weren’t you the one who brought up the topic of grades? Ah, how cute~”
“Asakura, don’t be silent.”
“Asakura…”
……
On the baseball field in June,
“Wait for the monthly exam and get crushed by me! Bad woman!!” Asakura Yuu swung his bat with force, hitting the high-speed ball thrown by Hayato Hayama!
The ball soared into the sky.
“Home run!!!!” Even Yui Yuigahama, a baseball novice, knew what to call a ball that flew into the stands.
She raised her cheering stick, like an excited little dog.
Asakura Yuu strolled back to home base, scoring a point for his team, with a carefree attitude.
“What did he say when he swung his bat?” Yumiko asked, sitting with Yui in the stands, having only caught a glimpse of Asakura’s words.
“Probably something like ‘Ah, it’s hot’?”
Yui didn’t quite catch it, but it was 30 degrees outside, feeling very much like summer.
The boys on the field continued to play, wearing their baseball uniforms.
As the player who scored, Asakura Yuu didn’t stay on the field.
A cute underclassman, holding a bottle of mineral water, offered it to him in a charming pose…
“Senpai, senpai, here’s water for you.”
Asakura Yuu took the bottle, drank a sip, and asked, “Aren’t you the manager of the soccer team?”
“Hayama-senpai was called away… the soccer team can’t even practice, and he’s the ace, you know.”
Isshiki Iroha made an excuse.
“Does the soccer team practice every day?”
“No way. It’s only 3 days a week… Soubu High School can’t even make it through regional selection, there’s no need to try so hard.”
“Is Hayama even any good?” Asakura Yuu chuckled. “He can’t even handle one against ten, what a loser.”
“…Senpai, soccer isn’t an individual sport.”
Isshiki Ayaka offered him a damp towel again.
She said, “In sports like kendo and baseball, a single strong player can carry the team to a good ranking, but not in soccer.”
“I’m not sure about baseball, but kendo definitely is, you only use 5 players in a match.”
“You were on the kendo club in middle school, weren’t you, Senpai?”
“How did you know?”
Isshiki Ayaka held up her right index finger to her lips, putting on a cute expression.
“Secret~ “
“Girls with too many secrets are not very likeable, you know.”
“Eh…….? Senpai, are you suddenly saying that to find out my secrets and use them to pursue me?.. Although my heart skipped a beat for a few seconds, after thinking it through, it’s definitely not okay. Senpai, wait, don’t go away……!”
…………
The game was over, Asakura Yuu took off his baseball uniform and changed back into his school uniform.
Besides midterms and finals, Soubu High School also had regular academic tests, held jointly with several surrounding schools.
Scoring well on these exams was even more prestigious than the school exams themselves.
‘Shunning logic and focusing on literature, I might not even win against Yukinoshita-san.’
This wasn’t him being humble; it was a likely outcome.
Hachiman Hikigaya could rank in the top 3 of his grade for humanities, but for science subjects… Asakura Yuu felt he was barely passing.
Asakura Yuu excelled in all subjects, but leaned more towards science.
‘What if I lose? This would be a huge embarrassment!’
What’s the solution to avoid the fate of being ridiculed after a loss?
Answer: Don’t lose.
Asakura Yuu decided to take some small measures to prevent Yukino Yukinoshita from teasing him.
He wanted to win this battle for his pride!
So, he said goodbye to his companions, then headed towards the library, carrying a few newly purchased tutoring books in his bag.
He decided not to go to Service Club these days.
Because Yukino Yukinoshita exists in the Service Club, she also likes to read library novels in it…
‘Minister Yukinoshita reads Wenku novels, and I reads tutoring books. Isn’t this just admitting defeat?’
The dignity of men does not allow a teenager named Asakura Yuu to do so.
Soubu High School, as a municipal high school focused on academics, had a spacious library with a study room.
When Asakura Yuu arrived, there were already quite a few students gathered inside, but the room was still relatively empty.
“…”
“…”
In a corner of the library, Yukino Yukinoshita and Asakura Yuu locked eyes, both flipping through their study guides, a faint blush quickly rising to Yukino’s pale, delicate face.
‘How did it come to this?’
She had snuck into the library to study during his baseball practice, but ended up getting caught red-handed…
No, that’s not it!
Asakura must have come here to study too!
Yukino Yukinoshita, don’t panic.
“Club President, what brings you here?”
“You?”
“I came… no, wait, President, you’re not here to study because you’re afraid of losing to me in the upcoming exams, are you?”
Since you’ve already said it, what can I say?
The blush on Yukino’s face didn’t fade: “You’re no different, afraid of losing to me, that’s why you’re here studying.”
“The library has air conditioning, so I came to enjoy the cool breeze and study at the same time. And, of course, to win against you, President. If I had to say it, I did come here because of you.”
The two had agreed not to hide anything from each other.
“You’re just being stubborn.” Yukino looked at him as he sat down across from her, lowering her head to hide her embarrassment, saying:
“Asakura, admitting you’re not as good as someone else isn’t shameful.”
“Indeed, President Yukinoshita is too amazing! Being the top student in the liberal arts has its perks, and with my simple mind, it’s a pipe dream to think I can surpass you!”
Asakura Yuu took a step back, pushing Yukino into a corner.
Now, even if Yukino wins, it doesn’t count as a win, and if Asakura loses, it doesn’t count as a loss!
He’s won!
He’s won too much!
“That’s right, losing to me isn’t something to be ashamed of.”
Yukino continued, following his lead, confident in her own abilities.
Now, it was Asakura Yuu who felt a bit embarrassed, and after a moment of thought, he slowly pulled out his study guide and began working on problems.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“…just like you said, admitting you’re not as good as someone else isn’t shameful. Moreover, working hard isn’t something to be ashamed of either, President. I came to the library to study and try to surpass you in the next exam.”
“It’s quite a coincidence, I’m studying because I’m afraid of losing to you too.”
The two locked eyes for a few seconds before falling silent.
‘I must win.’
‘I don’t want to lose.’
The sound of their pens scratching against the paper was the only thing they could hear.
