  Chapter 9 Self-cultivation of scumbags

   "You have opened a new mission: [Nakamura-sensei's Hope (0/1)]."

   "Instruction: Please get in the top 20 of your class in this semester's midterm test."

   "Task reward: 1000 points, memory potion*1."

   "Isn't it only a month away!"

   Kato Yusuke turned over the calendar, feeling a little speechless at this fact.

   The entire academic year of a Japanese high school consists of three semesters.

   are:

   First semester from April to July.

   Second semester from September to December.

   The third semester from January to March of the following year.

   is also interspersed with summer vacation, winter vacation, and spring vacation.

   There will be a mid-term + final exam in each semester.

   And Kato Yusuke is now in the first semester. At this time, the middle of April has just passed, and the date of the mid-term test is on the last day of next month, which is May 31st.

   The content of the test includes Mandarin, social, mathematics, science, and English, a total of 5 subjects.

   When it comes to the final exam, on the basis of these 5 subjects, 4 subjects including music, art, health and sports, and family lessons are added, for a total of 9 subjects.

   There are a total of 40 students in the first-year E class of Kato Yusuke, and his current ranking in the class is—

  40/40

   is the last place.

Groups like    also have such titles.

  The tail of the crane, the scumbag, the dragging one.

   is often active in hot-blooded comics, such as a certain Uzumaki Naruto, Kamijou Touma, and Shiba Jungle (blacked out).

   has some weird stuff mixed in.

   But Yusuke Kato thinks he doesn't belong to this group of people. As he said before, he is just too busy to study.

  If there is enough time, this content in the book is really not a problem for him, it is all a younger brother.

   As for the mission?

   "This is a question for sending points... No, it's a question for sending money."

   And it's still 100,000 yen, which is more than 80 hours of part-time work, not to mention that it comes with a magical potion that you can understand at a glance.

   For this type of quest, Kato Yusuke felt that the system could have a few more.

   Top 20 in the class?

   His goal is the sea of ​​stars!

   "Don't brag about it, at least the top three in the class should have nothing to ask..."

   "Hey Kato—!"

   A rebuke from the front of the classroom interrupted his thoughts.

   A total of three people in the classroom, including him, turned their attention to the podium. There was no way... the name is so down-to-earth.

  I saw Matsumoto-sensei on the podium staring at him with anger... Yusuke Kato?

   Seeing this, the other two who were taken aback breathed a sigh of relief.

   "What have you been talking to yourself over there since just now? Stand up and answer the question for me!"

  Matsumoto pointed at Kato Yusuke and said, then turned to write a question on the blackboard.

   [It is known that it is in the base of n (n is greater than or equal to 4, and is an integer). 】

  [2 to the 12th power = 1331 (where 2, 12, and 1331 are all n-ary numbers.]

  【Find the value of n. (Please write the value of n in decimal)]

   After writing, he threw away the chalk, clapped his hands, and looked at Kato Yusuke with a stern face.

   "Come on, answer."

   Looking at the title on the blackboard, and the content of the <Mathematics I> textbook in his hand, Kato Yusuke was silent for a while.

   "...Teacher, it seems that I haven't talked about it yet."

   "If you want to say it, just say it, since you dare to wander in my class, you should have already made up your mind."

  Matsumoto said quite arrogantly.

  !

   This is obviously embarrassing my fat tiger.

   In fact, this is true, but there is no way, who made Kato Yusuke get caught and just hit the muzzle of the gun.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed, shook his head and said, "I won't."

"Then you can go to the corridor and stand for punishment." Matsumoto snorted coldly, pushed the reflective glasses on the bridge of his nose, then picked up the textbook and said slowly below: "Next, we will continue to talk about irrational numbers. definition."

   The class burst into laughter.

   Kato Yusuke was a little embarrassed, and desperately mobilized his facial muscles to manage his expressions.

   Through this incident, he understood a truth.

   "Before anything is done successfully, it should remain calm on the surface and full of excitement on the inside."

   Then set a small goal first, starting with the top 20 in the class... no, 30.

  —from "Kato, Scum, Yusuke's Self-cultivation"

  …

   Jingle bell bell bell bell.

   The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

   "Then, that's it for today's class."

  Matsumoto announced, and walked out of the classroom with the textbook in between.

   Kato Yusuke returned to the chair and sat down, moving his stiff hands and feet a little.

   "I really have you, Kato."

Takei, who was in the same class, came over and looked at Kato Yusuke with a smile on his face: "You dare to desert in that Matsumoto's class, I admire, you are indeed a 'man' sitting on the throne, I would like to call you the strongest !"

   "Have you watched too many sand sculpture animations?"

   Kato Yusuke said lightly.

   "I agree with that too."

   Yamaguchi also said.

   "But Kato—"

   He looked at Kato Yusuke with a wry smile on his face.

   "You're now on Matsumoto's side. With that person's character, I'm afraid I'll call you next time, okay?"

   Even Takei stopped talking.

   As Kato Yusuke's classmates and friends, Ichiro Takei and Takashi Yamaguchi also know a little bit about the situation at this friend's house, and they know that the other party is taking up a lot of time by part-time work.

   "It's okay, after all, I planned to work hard for a while."

   Kato Yusuke said.

   "Even Matsumoto can't ask out-of-class questions every time, so as long as you write down all the knowledge points, it's fine."

"I see."

  Takaya Yamaguchi nodded: "It doesn't matter in that case, do you want to go to dinner together?"

   This proposal was immediately approved by Ichiro Takei.

   "Ah—! I'll eat ramen in that case."

   Takei raised his hands high and said.

   "It's ramen again... I said you should probably change it. It's been a week since you've eaten it."

   Yamaguchi said weakly, then looked at Kato Yusuke.

   "What do you think, Kato?"

   In this regard, Kato Yusuke shook his head, then took out a wooden box wrapped in blue flannel from the table, and said to the two of them.

   "Forget it today, I brought a bento."

   "It's rare, you made this yourself? What's in it?"

   "Gyudon rice...probably."

   "Probably? That means you didn't make it yourself...? Open it up and take a look?"

   Yamaguchi's tone became subtle, and even Takei cast curious eyes.

   Kato Yusuke had no choice but to untie the flannel in front of the two of them, revealing the long black wooden box, and then opened the lid.

  …
