Yuka replied, "To keep my average score steady at sixty."
It was all because yesterday's teacher insisted on giving her a perfect score, so she had to perform a bit poorly in mecha class to balance out her grades.
Plus, Kenji seemed to be getting suspicious of her, so Yuka decided to get a few zeros to throw him off.

In Kenji's eyes, the mecha Yuka operated moved as if dancing rhythmically—step forward, fall back—as if...
It was intentional.

Yuka's voice was muffled, "Hmm."
"What's with the hmm?" Kenji frowned. "You're in the mecha specialization, and you can't even control your psychic power?"
Yuka replied, "Can't control it."
