That was why the upperclassmen from Class 4 would take the initiative to start up a conversation with him

�You did well during the Speed Gun. Let�s check up on each other now and then.�

�Yes, senior.�

The reason why the upperclassmen-lowerclassmen relationships were strict was because getting promoted was difficult.�

In that sense, it meant Amy had great foresight as she recognized Shirone�s talents early on.

The Class 6 students started to come up to Shirone after he finished talking with the upperclassmen.

�Hello, upperclassman!�

�Senior Shirone, I�m your fan! Can I study with you as my role model?�

They were in the class that was the most displeased about Shirone�s early promotion. It couldn�t be helped since Class 6 was caught in the middle, as he jumped from Class 7 to 5, skipping over 6.

However, they had no choice but to forget about the past and change their attitude since even their seniors from Class 4 considered Shirone as an Advanced-Class rival in the future.

�What is your plan after class today? There�s going to be a magic demonstration inning, would you like to come with?�

�Our research group decided to visit during the holiday, let�s go together. I�ll be happy to be your partner.�

Only after he managed to kindly decline their offers did Shirone finally arrive at Class 5.

�Shirone! Shirone! Shirone! Shirone! Shirone!�

As soon as he opened the classroom door, his classmates pulled him in by his neck.

He was kidnapped before he could even put his backpack down, and when he saw all his friends looking at him, he was left puzzled.

�Why? What�s wrong?�

�The school semester is coming to an end. Join our research group. It�s one that we Class 5 kids made ourselves. The topic for the performance evaluation is up to the taker to choose anyways. It�s going to be fun, and moreover, you can save time. So join us.�

�Hmmm��

Shirone had consistently declined all offers to join a group so far.

�Don�t be like that and think about it in a positive light. I heard you refused to join a research group because of your personal studies? There are quite a few students like you here, but we still have to take the performance evaluation. That�s why we�re making one temporarily. No discrimination. We�ll quickly finish the evaluation and disband. Then you can study in your spare time.�

�Aha! I see.�

It was a good strategy.

Since the subject for the performance evaluation was up to the taker, there wasn�t a set criteria. That being said, joining an existing research group only to leave right after the performance evaluation was a bit rude.

Therefore, their solution to this problem was to create a temporary research group.

At that moment, Nade came running.

�Hey! What trick are you guys playing?! Shirone is off-limits. He�s mine!�

In the midst of his friends staring at him like he was absurd, a friend who knew what was going on with Nade countered.

�That�s ridiculous. I know what you�re planning. You want to admit him into that weird research group, right? Shirone, you should never join it. Even if you don�t end up joining our group, at least don�t join his. During my entire time here, never have I ever heard of Nade taking the performance evaluation.� JrNovels.com
