"That would be nice."

Maruo Nakano thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "I heard that you have excellent grades in your grade, and it seems that you are always in the top five in the grade. Is that true?"

Hayakawa's face turned as black as charcoal, as if his skin had suddenly lost its ability to reflect light.

Are you trying to spread rumors about me all along? I'm in the top three! Top three!!

"..."

It took a lot of effort to suppress the volcano erupting in his heart. Hayakawa barely managed to calm himself down, neither agreeing with nor refuting the other party's words, but simply nodding and saying, "It's alright."

“This is a very good result, enough to teach students of the same age,” Nakano Maruo said. “And considering that you are a good friend of my daughters, I would like you to be their tutor. What do you think?”

Hayakawa was taken aback: "Aren't I already teaching them?"

Nakano Maruo's gaze was indifferent, and his voice echoed in the car: "No, before you were just helping out of friendship and friendship with your classmates, but now you're being hired by their father to become a full-time private tutor."

Chapter 518 Burned Out

"To become a formal private tutor."

When Nakano Maruo's voice reached Hayakawa's ears, he froze on the spot.

Hayakawa always taught people with ulterior motives or simply out of good intentions. Although the people he taught were all idiots and it was hard work, he never considered himself a real tutor. He just helped each other out.

But now that Nakano Maruo has brought this up, he can't help but fall into deep thought.

Perhaps it would be better if I became a real private tutor. That way, the five sisters wouldn't feel awkward around me because of my status as their classmate, and I could perhaps speed up the pace of the lessons.

Hayakawa frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons.

"What? Do you think it will delay your studies?" Nakano Maruo said, "Or do you think there will be a problem with the compensation? Don't worry, I will give you a salary that is far higher than the market price."

"The compensation isn't a problem, but I need to think about it a bit,"

Hayakawa raised her head and said calmly, "There's also something I need to talk to the five of them about. It's not fair to them if I make the decision based solely on Uncle Nakano's and my discussion. What if they don't want to? So I want to ask them."

Nakano Maruo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I was too inconsiderate. You were more thoughtful. Let's use this exam week as the time. Give me your answer after this week."

"Ok."

Hayakawa said, then glanced out of the car and saw that the five sisters had already gone far away, so he decided to say goodbye and go to school.

"Hayakawa-kun, there's one last thing I need to remind you of."

Nakano Maruo suddenly called out to Hayakawa.

Hayakawa stopped: "What's wrong?"

“Nino seems to have some special feelings for you, but you are both too young to be thinking about such things,” Nakano Maruo turned to Hayakawa from his car seat and said seriously, “So regardless of whether you are willing to be my daughters’ tutor in the end, Hayakawa-kun, I hope you can restrain yourself in this regard, is that alright?”

"of course."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa felt an instant connection and quickly replied, "I also think that we should prioritize our studies right now and not waste time on unnecessary things."

"...It would be best if you could think that way."

Nakano Maruo paused for a moment, not expecting Hayakawa to react this way.

So the chat ended, and Hayakawa got off the bus and headed to school.

……

On her way to school, Hayakawa was caught by the five sisters who were lying in wait.

"Really, Hayakawa-kun."

Ichika pouted and said unhappily, "How could you disappear in the blink of an eye? We've been waiting for you at the school gate for so long, we're almost late."

"..."

If you know you're going to be late, then go in already.

"Are you a child? You'll get lost if I don't look at you for a second." Nino said arrogantly, hands on her hips.

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I was a little carsick, so I stood for a while after getting off the bus."

"Is that so?"

Yotsuba looked at Hayakawa with concern: "Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I'm much better now."

Hayakawa clutched his stomach, feigning discomfort, and barely managed to say something, while Nino looked at him suspiciously. The way his head had been resting on her chest just now didn't seem like he was carsick at all.

Ichika quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Then let's go in quickly."

The group entered the school together. Hayakawa said a few words of encouragement to the five sisters, and then went with May to Class B to prepare for the exam.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Natsukawa Masaki's familiar sharp tongue from next to me.

"Oh dear, this is quite unexpected. It's the first time I've seen you arrive so late."

Natsukawa Masuzu covered her mouth and chuckled, "I saw you come in with Nakano Satsuki just now. Did you run into her on the train?"

As she spoke, a glint of light appeared in her eyes as she narrowed them slightly.

This guy is still so perceptive.

Hayakawa expressionlessly tidied up and checked his stationery, then looked down at his book again, yawned and said, "I studied until very late last night, so it took me a little time to get here."

"So that's it."

The reason was quite reasonable, so Natsukawa Masuzu put aside her doubts and looked at Hayakawa with a look of pleasure in her eyes: "But this is the final exam, which is quite important. How are your preparations going?"

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's expression darkened abruptly, and he muttered to himself, "I've staked everything on this exam..."

After he finished speaking, a ball of violent rage rose from the back of his head, as if he wanted to destroy everything in the classroom.

"Wow, it's on fire!"

Natsukawa Masuzu looked at Hayakawa, who was already burning with passion even before the exam had started, with a strange expression, and said with a smile, "Good luck."

Hayakawa did not respond, but quietly continued reading her book.

No need for encouragement or motivation, because he had already done everything he could.

What he needs now is to dedicate everything to the exam, focusing all his efforts on those two hours.

"The exam begins!"

Hayakawa suddenly opened his eyes, slamming his pen down onto the exam paper in front of him, creating a spark.

……

During lunch break, the school cafeteria was bustling with people, but in a corner of the cafeteria, Hayakawa sat alone.

His face was deathly pale, and he held a bowl of udon noodles tremblingly in his hand. He swayed as if his body had been hollowed out.

It's burned out, it's really burned out!

In the exam he just took, Hayakawa had poured almost all of his energy into those two hours, nearly exhausting his Emperor power. As a result, he emerged looking like he was about to die.

"Hayakawa-san!"

Just then, a figure darted over from the queue like a rabbit, its voice preceding its arrival.

With green ribbons swaying like rabbit ears, her delicate apple-shaped face is round and cute, full of energetic smiles. Her bulge in front of her body bounces as she walks, attracting attention. Despite this, her athletic ability is still outstanding. This is Yotsuba, the super popular beauty in the school's sports club.

Yotsuba carried her plate and walked quickly over, carefully avoiding the people coming and going in the cafeteria. When she finally reached Hayakawa, she was startled by Hayakawa's deathly pale face before she could even speak.

"No, no, no... Are you alright?"

Yotsuba almost threw the plate in her hand next time. At first glance, she thought she had run into the vampire duke from Nino's idol drama.

"It's nothing... I just overexerted myself during the exam."

Hayakawa picked up his chopsticks as he spoke, but his hands were trembling.

Chapter 519 You Are All My Wings

"Is it acceptable to push yourself to this extent during an exam?"

Yotsuba looked at Hayakawa's ashen face and listless appearance, and fell into deep thought.

This is probably the world of top students; someone like me, a mediocre student, can't understand it.

"Then I'll sit here."

Yotsuba looked around and, making sure she didn't see the five sisters, especially Nino, carefully sat down, her face slightly flushed.

"Uh…"

Hayakawa looked at her, intending to stop her, but after measuring the table and finding four seats, he nodded and said, "Sit down."

"What do you mean? Are you saying you're unwilling?"

Seeing Hayakawa's reaction, Yotsuba couldn't help but feel jealous. She puffed out her cheeks and pretended to get up, saying, "Then I'll just walk away."

"Why such a big reaction... Please sit down."

Hayakawa sighed, "Just so you know, I made an appointment with someone. Two people will be coming over later, so there will be four seats available."

"Huh? Who is it?"

Yotsuba blinked and asked.

“The old bridge and Ogata.”

"I see. Farewell."

Yotsuba picked up the plate and was about to leave, her steps hurried as if something terrible was chasing her.

"Why are you running?"

Hayakawa, his face darkening, grabbed her and pulled her back to her original seat, pressing her down to sit: "What do you mean by running away like this? I still have questions for you."

"But...but!"

Yotsuba stammered, unable to speak.

If the people she was most afraid to face at home were Nino and Yotsuba, then the people she was most afraid to face at school were definitely her two best friends. She was even more guilty about the latter. When she was competing with her sisters, she could comfort them by saying that everyone was competing fairly. But when she faced Furuhashi Ogata, she had no other choice but to back down in fear.

As for how Yotsuba figured it out... she had suspected the relationship between the two girls and Hayakawa a long time ago. After several chance encounters and probing the two girls during casual conversations, Yotsuba was certain... there was indeed a problem. However, Yotsuba had been avoiding this point before, since she couldn't even handle Nino.

But now...

“I’m saying…”

Hayakawa Kumiki Hayashiba (5) Ni Ni observed Yotsuba's reaction and couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression: "Do you know?"

"Of course I know!"

Yotsuba launched into a tirade against Hayakawa, snarling, "Do you think I'm stupid and can't see anything, that I'm easy to bully? No way! I already secretly tested them out. Do you think we girls don't have ways to communicate with each other?!"

When it came to testing each other, Fumino Furuhashi was alright; although her reactions were a bit stiff, she could at least cover it up. But Rizu Ogata's act was so convincing that it was full of mistakes.

"Rika-chan, what do you think of Hayakawa?"

"He's a very nice person...and very handsome."

"...And what about him?"

"I...I...I don't have any special feelings for him at all! We're just ordinary friends."

“…Oh, I see.”

……

"That's it."

Yotsuba angrily recounted the events, her beautiful eyes blazing as she glared at Hayakawa.

"..."

Ogata, how many more times do you intend to torment me before you're satisfied?

"It's ok."

Hayakawa's lips twitched slightly, and he silently turned his head away: "The Hayakawa family has a vast business empire that you can't even comprehend. It can provide you with a life of comfort and wealth without you having to do anything."

"Why should I do nothing? Aren't I idle?"

Yotsuba stared intently at Hayakawa, then leaned closer and said, "What about my dream? What about my dream of getting into a sports university?"

"Uh... I mean I will make you... make you happy."
