Chapter 158: A Call
The day after that, I decided to tell my mom what we discussed during the strategy meeting. I asked her to reconsider based on my midterm ranking.
She was baffled since I was unexpectedly persistent about it, but since I was rarely this stubborn, she lent an ear this time.
“Getting into the top ten, huh? Can you do it? You spent a lot of time studying for your final exam last semester and still didn’t manage to do it, right? You won’t have time to play with Umi-chan if you do this, you know?”
“It’s okay. I want to get into the preparatory class anyway, I have to study that much if I want to get there.”
Our school was very particular about the difficulty of our exams. We could get decent scores normally, but if we wanted to get higher than 80, we had to study really hard for it.
Getting full marks was even harder since the teachers would slip in one or two really difficult questions. Those were usually practical questions, we had to understand the subject properly to answer those.
If I had to dedicate more time to studying, that meant I would have less time to hang out with Umi. Well, I could still study together with her, so it wouldn’t be a big problem, honestly.
