Kimura Kazuki and Furuhashi Harunaka had the same thought at first. He thought that the three girls were trying to intimidate him. As such, he appeared calm and collected. He scanned the room as he sat on the couch, his expression was that of disinterest.

For him, a house was good enough as long as there was a bed and could shelter one from wind and rain.

However, the surroundings in front of him were pleasant. It was a duplex with a double-story layout. The second floor was where the Furuhashi sisters stayed, the first floor, on the other hand, was equipped with complete facilities, and it was undeniably spacious. As he thought about it, Kazuki left the plush couch and walked toward the balcony. He noticed that the balcony was spacious, but nothing adorned the empty space. Obviously, the Furuhashi sisters did not dabble in such hobbies. If it were him, he would definitely build a small garden on this balcony.

He looked into the horizon, the sun was already set at that time. The buildings and skyscrapers afar were lit up in a blinding array of lights, giving a sense of calmness.

The sisters were living in a pleasant environment, and even the air here was fresher.

Kazuki gave a sardonic laugh suddenly. Although he did not find the place impressionable in his heart, he could not help but admit that he liked the place. When one lived in a small room for a long time, to come into a large room, he could not help but be amazed.

He stopped his inspection and paced to the side of the table. He took out some books and test papers from his bag.

“Good day, Senpai...”

After a while, Furuhashi Natsui and Furuhashi Fuyuno both came down from the second floor. Both of them looked even more nervous than he was, though he was supposed to be the one teaching. However, after Kazuki gave some thought, he knew that both of them felt uneasy with a man in the house.

“Have a seat.” Kazuki gave a slight smile, he stood up as to not hog the couch and found himself a chair to sit on, “Where’s Akino?”

“She’s still gaming in her room.” Furuhashi Natsui sat down. She thought nothing of Kazuki at school, but now that he had appeared in their home, what more as their tutor, it was nerve-wracking for her.

Furuhashi Fuyuno felt the same. She sat ramrod straight on the couch, her whole body felt leaden... She didn’t feel as if she was home.

Kazuki nodded. Every time he saw Furuhashi Akino, she would always be on her phone. She was obviously an internet addict. However, even if she was addicted, her results were the same as her sisters. Perhaps the best study sense out of her three sisters...

Of course, he could not jump to conclusions just like that.

“No need to be nervous, just act as you normally would at home.” Sensing that the two were nervous, Kazuki softened his tone. He was here to be a tutor, not to beat someone up. Yet, he felt weird after finishing that sentence.

Pfft... Furuhashi Natsui tried her best to hold back her laugh, “Well, this is our house.”

“Senpai... Do we have to finish all these later?” Furuhashi Fuyuno picked up the exam papers on the table. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at the contents of the exam paper. They were giving her a headache.

“That’s right. I am not certain about your knowledge level, so there will be a small test to ascertain your level today.”

Natsui and Fuyuno’s face was miserable, and they lost their spirits to talk. They were overwhelmed as they held onto the papers.

When Kazuki finished, Furuhashi Harunaka had already come out from the shower. Knowing that Kazuki was here, she wore something neater instead of coming out with just a bathrobe like she always did.

“Where’s Akino? We are about to start, why isn’t she down yet?” Furuhashi Harunaka dried her hair with a towel, she was all business as there was an outsider around the house. She had to demonstrate her dignity as the eldest sister. Then, her expression changed into sorrow when she saw the papers in Natsui and Fuyuno’s hands.

Test papers were her number one enemy.

“I’ll go get her.” Furuhashi Fuyuno stood up. It would do her good if she could just leave the test papers for a while.

“I’m coming!” No need for Furuhashi Fuyuno to call, Furuhashi Akino came down herself wearing a simple Kendo outfit, by her waist was a flashing tachi that was used for cosplay. She strode down the stairs with purpose, but the tachi was too long. It was around 150 centimeters long, almost the same height as her. As the tachi was tied to her waist, knocking noises were heard when she walked down the stairs as it came into contact with the steps.

Furuhashi Akino came down the stairs, accompanied by the clanking noises. As she reached the ground, her small hands rested on the sword hilt. With a forceful pull, she managed to unsheathe the sword halfway before it got stuck...

Her face was red with embarrassment. She put the Taito on the ground before slowly unsheathing it again...

Awkward!

Furuhashi Harunaka covered her face with her hand, not wanting to see the spectacle any longer. Furuhashi Harunaka came beside Furuhashi Akino and hand-chopped Furuhashi Akino, making sure that it hurt, “Stop wearing my clothes!”

The simplified Kendo outfit that Akino was wearing belonged to Furuhashi Harunaka. Not only did she do her training at school, but she would also practice at home with a bamboo sword on the balcony.

“This sword is really long.” Furuhashi Akino covered her face. After looking at Kazuki, who flaunted his sword around at school, she initially wanted to mock Kazuki, but it backfired when she could not even unsheathe the sword. After her plan failed, she could only give up and return to her room to change her outfit.

“Please don’t mind her, Senpai. Akino’s like that at home.” Furuhashi Harunaka smiled, and the other two nodded in agreement.

“Akino’s kinda cute. Having her as your younger sister must be a blessing for you all.” Kazuki smiled and waved it off.

Furuhashi Fuyuno was silent. She wanted to tell him that she was the youngest.

In a flash, Furuhashi Akino changed into her casual attire and came down. She did not even want to come down in the first place. In other words, she did not even want to bother the home tutor. Her initial plan was to stay in her room to the game as she knew that nobody could convince her otherwise when she locked the door. However, Harunaka and Natsui have reminded her two days before not to go against Kazuki, even Fuyuno warned her. It was clear that they feared him.

She did not know what was so scary about Kazuki... Even if he held the title of Sakura Kyu’s biggest delinquent, she had never seen Kazuki beat someone up. He did not look big either, he wasn’t intimidating.

As she thought about it, she got down the stairs and gave Kazuki a disgruntled stare and proceeded to sit down on the couch. As she sat down, her eyes landed on the pile of exam papers on the table, and her bright eyes turned idle.

But she came back to her senses quickly, she only needed to endure it for a few days. Even then, Harunaka and the others would take it upon themselves to escape from the home tutor. This happened before to other home tutors. This was also the reason she obeyed without objection as she thought that she just needed to wait it out for a few days.

Kazuki looked at the time, it was already a couple of minutes past six. He said slowly, “Since everybody’s here, let’s not waste more time. You will see some exam papers on the table that includes Japanese, English, Mathematics, Chemistry... You will need to finish these papers in two hours. Please approach the papers sincerely, your marks will help me to decide the method that I will take to teach and guide all of you.”

“There... There’s so many of them, two hours is not enough.” Furuhashi Harunaka looked at the exam papers on the table, her face was anguished.

“I believe that all of you can finish it.”

Listening to that, the Furuhashi sisters were stunned and felt embarrassed.

There are only two types of students who could finish an exam quickly. One were excellent students, and the other was the below-average student... Without a doubt, they were considered to be below-average students. They could finish their exam papers quickly as they did not know the answers, and they would skip the questions most of the time.

They were being underestimated.

That bastard!
