Horikita had come to ask Chabashira about why she was placed in Class D, not believing that she was defective at all. She asserts that it must have been a mistake, and it is revealed that Horikita placed third overall on the entrance exams and had top marks in academics outside of the exams.

A week before the midterm exams begin, Kiyotaka and Horikita begin brainstorming on how to get the Idiot Trio to study for the midterms once again. Kiyotaka invites Kushida to join them for lunch so that the three can discuss things. At Pallet, they once again request for Kushida's assistance with helping them, to which Kushida happily agrees once again. She invites the Idiot Trio to join her at Pallet. After they arrive, Horikita asks them if they would join her study group once more. They all show their distaste for studying and plan on cramming, especially Sudō, who wants to prioritize basketball. Horikita explains the plan that they made to get them to study while also not using their free time, which consists of spending their time during class to memorize and study questions, and then to use the time in between the periods to personally teach them whatever they had issues understanding. They only agree to the plan after Kiyotaka gets Kushida to offer the person who gets the highest score the permission to take her out on a date. Ressler, Karen (June 27, 2017).

Horikita states that she's lost interest in teaching them further as she sees it as a hassle to teach them anything moving forward. Kushida is distraught about the outcome and leaves shortly after.
