...Math exercises do make almost everyone dizzy....

...\=•\=•\=...

In the morning at TOKYO High School, all the students in class 1-F were chatting on their own. There was a discussion about the activities of the club yesterday, then there was a discussion about preparation to join the club next meeting. In fact, there were some students who were talking about the beautiful seniors in the club.

However, today I felt that something was lacking. Ah yes, realize that, I didn't see Rey at all. On his stool, there was no black school bag he usually used. Where is he, huh?

Shortly afterwards, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps, like someone was running around, entering the classroom.

"Huh .. hah .. hah ...." A teenage boy looks exhausted. He propped his body with his hand leaning against the classroom door goal, while adjusting his breathing. As her breathing rhythm began to normalize again, she walked slowly towards the empty bench next to me. Yes, he is Rey.

"HAAHH ... it's really exhausting!" rey lamented while drowning his face in the table.

I scrunched my forehead in wonder. How not? He suddenly arrived at school with a body bathed in such sweat. "You why, Rey? Why do you look so exhausted?" manyworry.

He changed his position to upright again. "Suph ...." He took a breath. "Hhhh ...." Then throw it again.

"That's all because of Hikari, my sister. He does like to make me difficult," Rey replied while wiping the sweat that was still pouring on her face.

I got out of my chair and took a handkerchief that I accidentally slipped on the right side of my bag. "Hey, next time, there's no need to run around like that, Rey!" I said while wiping his sweat using my handkerchief.

Rey was surprised for a moment, just for a moment. Over time, he began to release his body stiffness. Rey kind of let me wipe her sweat. "Did?" He held my hand tightly.

"Yes, Rey. What's up?" I removed my handkerchief from her forehead, because I felt that Rey's sweat was dry.

However, unexpectedly, he held my hand and put it on his forehead again. "Don't go, Ai! Let me feel the warmth of your arms caress once more" Rey said, revealing her friendly smile.

"He? Ah, be good." I followed Rey's will. I let my hand be held by him. The feeling of embarrassment must have been clearly felt at this moment. He held my hand tightly.

Crings ...

The school entrance bell, it's been ringing. I immediately put my hand away and was about to return to my stool, before the other students entered the classroom.

"Ah shit, why does the bell disturb this moment of romance" Rey murmured. I could not hear what he was saying, but that was how he said it.

"He? What did you say, Rey?" ask for clarity.

"Hm? Uh, no no no. It's okay" he replied.

Although it looks a little confusing, I prefer to say his words only. "Oh .. okay. I will return to where I used to be" I said with a half-turned body position.

All students and students of class 1-F, began to enter the first class one by one. Joking activities that they did earlier, had to be stopped for a moment.

'Um .. This is Bu Mai's lesson. Better, I prepare the stationery and the book first, ' I thought and then took the school equipment I had brought in my school bag.

Not long after, a woman wearing a full-length teacher's suit and high-ranking black heels entered the classroom. Yes, she is Mai Ma. The middle-aged woman appeared to be carrying a piece of paper. He's? Could it be that he told me to write an essay like Bu Kizuha? No way, where can math lessons be told to make essays. So, what is Bu Mai currently planning? I became curious.

Map ... tap .. tap ...

The voice was heard accompanying Bu Mai's footsteps. When he reached the teacher's desk, the woman put down the sheet of paper that was brought by him.

"Ohaiou, Minna-san!" With a friendly smile, he greeted all the students in the class. Hand fused.

"Ohayougozaimazu, Sensei!" reply all students.

Bu Mai nodded his head. "Yup, okay. Today I'm going to do some exercises for you. Waita minute!" Bu Mai then walked towards the table and picked up the sheet of paper that was brought earlier. Wait, he said practice? Wait a minute, that means a repeat?

"In this sheet there are some math essay questions about the material we learned yesterday. I ask you to take these matters seriously and honestly. Mother values students who are not good grades, but she is honest. Than the students who have good grades but from the results of cheating," said Bu Mai explained. "If you pay attention to the explanation described, then, I'm sure, you can do these things easily" he continued as he passed the sheets of paper.

He walked over to the student desk one by one. A tense and worried expression was clearly emblazoned on the faces of almost all the students in the class. And so is Rey. His fingers were playing with pens.

If I, yes, don't feel so scared. I was just a little tense, just a little. Because, I guess, I've studied the material that Bu Mai explained well. I'm sure I can .. I hope.

Ms. Mai came to my desk and handed me the piece of paper. Then, he went back and handed out the paper. After Ms. Mai's death, I opened the story. A smile was immediately painted on my lips, when I found out, that the matter of this exercise, was very similar to the matter of training given by Bu Mai at that time.

I glanced at Rey who seemed to be taking the matter seriously. "Jeez, what kind of thing is this ...?" lirih Rey while ruffling her hair.

"Nm ... A—" When he was about to ask Rey's situation, suddenly he heard the voice of Bu Mai saying. "Please do it! I'll wait until the end of this lesson time. The spirit!" The friendly female teacher encouraged us.

"Okay, Mom ...!" answer all the students with a lazy tone. I started working on it slowly. Every question I read over and over again, so I can make sure that my answer is correct.

"Ichi ... ni .. san .. nyah .. arigatou .. nyah~" Rey counts the numbers with her finger. Wait a minute, no, isn't she singing? Oh, come on, I better finish this exercise.

Minutes by minutes have passed. Actually, I'm done with everything. But I'd better take it one more time, so there's no mistake.

"Two times by four umm .. ah, yes eight" said Rey counting the answers. When I heard that, I was happy too. Maybe he found the answer.

"Well, how is it like this? Why is the answer so much like this? Didn't I count that well?" ask Rey to herself. Well, it turns out he hasn't found the answer yet.

"No ... How is this? I can't do these things. Arghh .. very confusing!" umpat Rey is upset. He then buried his face behind the paper. I hope you can do this, Rey.
