JEREMIAH
...Now, then.
We here at Ashford Academy are the best and brightest.
<bang!>

JEREMIAH
The new term is fast approaching.
So this weekend there will be a proficiency test.

EVERYONE
Whaaaaat!!!

JEREMIAH
Your summer break was your chance to demonstrate your devotion to your studies.
Aren't you looking forward to seeing the results?
<smirk>

EUPHY
(Thank goodness I studied every day over the break...)

KALLEN
(Ugh... this might suck...)

SHIRLEY
(I'm screwed! The only thing I worked on was club stuff!)

GINO
(Hahaha— Well, my results're gonna be the same either way...)

C.C.
(Finally!!)
<clench>
(My time has come!!)

<ding-dong!>

LELOUCH
Hmm?
<opening the door>

LELOUCH
Aren't you awfully early today?

C.C.
You haven't forgotten, right?
<slip!>

C.C.
Lelouch! Fulfill our contract!

LELOUCH
What do you mean, contract.
That's a little melodramatic.
You're talking about the pizza club, right?
I remember well.

C.C.
Good, then.
Now, let's study!

C.C.
(If I can break into the top three with this test, I'll have a pizza club!)
(Then, the ultimate pizza will be mine...!)
<drool>

SFX
<ding-dong!>

LELOUCH
Who could...?
I'll be right back.

C.C.
Sure.

SFX
<opening—>

RIVALZ/SHIRLEY
Lelouch, you gotta help us!

LELOUCH
You two?! What is all this?

SFX
<snifflesob>

SHIRLEY
...and unless you help me...

SHIRLEY
<wail>
I'm gonna fail the test and have to take remedial classes...!

SUZAKU
And, well, since neither of us are any good at teaching...

KALLEN
...we figured we'd turn to you.

LELOUCH
...There's nothing else for it.

RIVALZ
Huh? C.C.?

C.C.
Hmm?

KALLEN
How... come you're in Lelouch's home?

SHIRLEY
Are you studying for the test?

SUZAKU
Didn't I tell you?
Lelouch has been tutoring her.

SHIRLEY
You said no such thing!

KALLEN
Then...
When you said you spend a lot of time over here...

SFX
<flip>

C.C.
Because this's where we decided to study.¹

KALLEN
Huh...
So that's all it was?

KALLEN
<phew!>

LELOUCH
I hope
you realize now that this is all your fault, Suzaku.

SUZAKU
Sorry, sorry!
<Ahaha...>

LELOUCH
With that settled...

LELOUCH
Our study session
officially commences!

EVERYONE
<impressed!>

LELOUCH
There.
That should be the extent of the test.
<bam!>

SHIRLEY
<siiigh>
Thanks, Lulu!

RIVALZ
With this
we should be able to manage now!

LELOUCH
Then, I'll grade your quizzes now.

LELOUCH
<Hmph...>
<She's nowhere near the top three, but she shouldn't fail the test now.>

C.C.
<grin!!>

SHIRLEY
C.C.!

SHIRLEY
Let's weather this storm together!
<gah!>

C.C.
<heh>
<No,>
Maybe that's the only reason why you worked this hard.
But I'm gonna get into the top three!

KALLEN
Heehee...
Well, if you're that fired up...

EUPHY
...maybe you will!

LELOUCH
(...)
(Who'd have thought...
someone like her could make a face like that?)
