Midterms were coming up, which meant that everyone was studying for the upcoming tests. Most clubs didn’t meet as frequently due to this, but the photography club remained as active as ever.

Everyone studied outside of the club on their own time, but the club had a special tradition, as Akemi liked to call it, when midterms rolled around. So whilst everyone else was stressing about what the tests were going to be like, the upperclassmen put together some questions for all three grades.

You would occasionally pass by Toono and Kashima studying in the cafeteria together, giving them a small wave. As first year students, they were worried about whether or not they would do well, more so Toono than Kashima.

All club members came together Thursday evening to study, with Kashima and Toono playing the teacher role. Toono seemed horrified that the studying was actually strip studying, whilst Kashima was just laughing and asking questions for the rest to answer.

Shikatani had already gotten a couple of questions wrong, having taken his shoes and sweater off. Overall, he was one of the most dressed, alongside Toono and Kashima. He was in a chair at the end of the table, his arms crossed as you asked him a question. To nobody’s surprise, he got it right, pushing his glasses further up his nose as he looked over at you.

“So what’s my reward?”
