"What about the passing grade?"

Miku Nakano struggles desperately.

"60 points, no, 50 points will do!" Uesugi Futaro quickly changed his mind, hoping it wouldn't be too bad, since Lord Nobunaga was watching. What if he got angry?

Oda Nobunaga didn't even lift his eyelids, seemingly acquiescing.

"I understand." Nakano Satsuki put on her glasses and took the test paper.

"Let's all do our best!" Nakano Yotsuba exclaimed energetically.

"Don't underestimate us!" Nino Nakano gritted her teeth.

"There's nothing we can do," Nakano Ichika sighed.

"........."

The black-haired man in military uniform fell silent, holding five exam papers.

The atmosphere was unusually tense. The five Nakano sisters knelt at the lower end, trembling. "Waaah, they're really angry!"

"Cough cough."

"Wow, that's amazing! One hundred points... all of them added together."

Uesugi Fuutarou desperately tried to save face, because if he didn't, his students might all be killed by the enraged Oda Nobunaga, and how would he get his five times his salary?!

Yes, they only got 100 points in total, and there were five of them!

Nakano Ichika, 12 points.

Nakano Nino, 20 points.

Nakano Mijiu, 32 points.

Nakano Yotsuba, 8 points.

Nakano May, 28 points.

Unbelievable! Uesugi Fuutarou, a top student, simply couldn't believe it. How could someone score in the single digits?! Even writing with your feet wouldn't be that bad!

However, out of concern for the safety of the five people he was mentoring, and out of his dedication to this job—

"It's alright!" At this moment, only Uesugi Fuutarou dared to speak up. He clenched his fist. "Even if all five of you fail, I will help you improve with my tutoring!"

Stop scolding, stop scolding.

The five of them had their heads bowed so low they were almost below their knees.

If it were only Uesugi Fuutarou here, the five of them would have already found a chance to escape, but Lord Nobunaga is also here...

It's practically like publicly executing your idol in front of them, and they might even kill your idol at the drop of a hat.

"so be it."

This was the first time Oda Nobunaga had spoken.

"Eh?" x6

Everyone was at a loss.

"What are your grades?" Oda Nobunaga asked Uesugi Fuutarou.

"Of course it's—one hundred points!" Uesugi Futaro proudly took out the test paper.

“Very good. Since you are a learned person, you are qualified to be a teacher.” Oda Nobunaga nodded slightly.

"Haha, not really." Uesugi Fuutarou was a little flattered. Although many people praised his academic performance, this was Lord Nobunaga! The chances of being praised by him were even smaller than those of the Prime Minister... After all, you have a chance to meet the Prime Minister, but Lord Nobunaga was one of a kind.

"No need to be humble."

Oda Nobunaga's gaze shifted to the five girls who dared not raise their heads: "As my retainers, it is an utter disgrace that you failed the exam."

After all, Oda Nobunaga's treatment of them as retainers was two-faced; he had already made that clear when he saved them at the summer festival, and there was no way he could go back on his word now.

The aura emanating from them was almost tangible; Oda Nobunaga's expression seemed to say, "If you fail the test, I'll kill you."

"of course."

Oda Nobunaga then changed the subject: "I am not an unreasonable person, and I can forgive your mistake this time."

"Really?" The Nakano Five Sisters regained their hope.

"Hmm." The man in military uniform leaned back on the sofa, his legs crossed, his scarlet eyes seemingly burning with blood and fire.

"However, since you know you're wrong, you should correct it next time."

Oda Nobunaga coldly uttered those outrageous words.

"Give me a passing grade."

How is that even possible?!

The five academically challenged students were inwardly weeping, but outwardly they still respectfully replied, "Yes! Lord Nobunaga!"

So the five girls, who found studying incredibly painful, reluctantly accepted tutoring from Uesugi Fuutarou, and couldn't slack off, since Oda Nobunaga was always watching!

Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga did not play by himself, but instead picked up the Nakano Five Sisters' textbooks and carefully looked through them.

Judging from his furrowed brows, you could tell he wasn't just watching for fun.

After a long while, he finally closed his textbook.

"Is there a problem, Lord Nobunaga?" Uesugi Futaro couldn't help but speak up. After all, this was Lord Nobunaga, and even saying a single word to him was enough to excite him.

"Yes, I really like the new knowledge and power."

For the first time, Oda Nobunaga showed his appreciation, pointing to the mathematical calculation of projectile arcs: "If I had had this knowledge back then, my arquebusiers would surely have been superior."

"Belonging to your musketeer unit, Lord Nobunaga? That certainly is the case." Speaking of his knowledge, Uesugi Fuutarou couldn't help but launch into a long explanation, "The trajectory of a bullet can be calculated using the xxx formula, and also..."

Oda Nobunaga did not find Uesugi Fuutarou noisy at all; on the contrary, he listened very attentively and even asked questions and discussed the matter from time to time based on his own experience and knowledge. The atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious.

"The atmosphere seems really good... Ugh, I'm so frustrated!" Nino clutched her head. She knew that Lord Nobunaga had never been so kind to them before! Why did that stalker have the nerve to do this?!

"After all, they're top students." Even though she was a mediocre student, Ichika Nakano still admired people like that.

"I will never agree with him!" Nakano Satsuki almost broke her pen.

"I think Lord Nobunaga is actually very easy to get along with!" Nakano Yotsuba said with a grin. "Didn't he forgive my rudeness just now?"

"You still dare to say that! You scared me to death!" Nakano Nino glared at her fiercely.

"Miku, what are you thinking about?"

“I…” Nakano Miku lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes and eyebrows.

"I just feel that someone like Uesugi-kun is the kind of retainer Nobunaga needs."

"And can we really fulfill Lord Nobunaga's demands?"

Nakano Miku completely lacked confidence. Despite being Nobunaga's contractor, she couldn't even pass her studies. It was terrible.

However, she also knew that she didn't like studying at all and didn't want to study. The reason she was able to get higher scores was because she was familiar with the generals of the Warring States period.

She was actually utterly useless, not even as good as Uesugi-kun. Did she really deserve to be Oda Nobunaga's contractor? That was Oda Nobunaga!

“How could that be possible…” Nakano Nino was completely deflated. She really didn’t like studying at all. On the contrary, Itsuki and Yotsuba were the kind of people who studied hard but still couldn’t improve their grades.

Yotsuba, with her exceptional physical abilities, is often asked for favors by others, which interrupts her own study progress.

"What, do you think you can't do it?"

That's... Lord Nobunaga's voice?!

The five people quickly stopped whispering and sat up straight.

Oda Nobunaga stood before them, his crimson eyes revealing neither joy nor anger.

“That’s right!” Nino Nakano mustered her courage, even though her voice was still trembling. “How could I possibly pass all the exams next time?”

Nino Nakano is right. After all, the five of them are lacking in so many areas that even if they study hard, the probability of failing is still very high.

"Yes, I've considered that too." Surprisingly, Oda Nobunaga wasn't angry. "We can't give our subordinates tasks they can't complete, so, after discussing it with Uesugi-kun—"

"The task has been changed to: in the next exam, the average score of all subjects for all of you must reach 30 points!"

"If you can't even do this, then you'll have to commit seppuku to atone for your sins~"

She said the most terrifying thing in the cutest tone.

"of course."

Oda Nobunaga then changed the subject: "As a qualified lord, there should be both punishment and reward."

"If you all achieve this, I will reward you with a performance of my secret Atsumori Dance, and then you can throw away all formalities and party until dawn!"

Oda Nobunaga appeared full of energy.

The Nakano Five Sisters: !!!

What?! Lord Nobunaga's Atsumori dance? That's a dance that costs a fortune, reflects a high status, and is something you could never even dream of seeing!

Damn it, I really want to see it!

The five Nakano sisters exchanged glances, each seeing the burning flames in the other's eyes.

Fight!

Make sure you meet the requirements for the next exam!
