Plot
After the first test is over Arata thanks Rena for her help earlier, and due to her cold, asks if she really should be at school. As her first response she disparagingly asks if Arata realizes that if she had not come to school, he would have been in real trouble with the test, but then hints at the true reason: the tests are important to her. Kazuomi explains that the reason they have tests on the first day of school is that the highest-scoring boy and girl in the class are chosen to be class representatives for the semester, and Rena has won the honour almost every time – until Chizuru Hishiro, the top student in the school joined the class. In response, Rena tells that Kazuomi for his part has actually been the highest-scoring boy every time. Arata finds it hard to believe, Rena and Kazuomi playfully make fun of his earlier blunders, and the three keep chatting until the break ends.

As Ms. Amatsu announces the next test, Arata thinks how nice it is that Rena and Kazuomi do not seem to look down on him despite his bad start, though they actually find his cluelessness amusing. An, the transfer student sitting nearby has been following the conversation, and thinking to herself that it looked fun and that Arata seems like an interesting person, she decides to join in next time.

Afterwards Arata asks Ryõ to join him for lunch as he did not bring anything from home, and does not know where the cafeteria is.
