## Most Solemn Studying

**Most Solemn Studying** is the tenth chapter of the Oushitsu Kyoushi Heinemanga.

## Plot

Bruno asked Leonhard once again what is 1 + 1, and he answered 3. Everyone got irritated while Leonhard is confused. Licht starting to doubt that 3 days are enough for Leonhard to get 60 in his test. Bruno is mad at Licht for questioning his father decision once again. Heine then explained that the **ability test** consisted of 4 subjects (National language, Math, History, and Geography) and he only include the basics. Math will be the highest score allocation and Heine warns him that he will be in trouble if he didn't do well on that. Bruno asked Leonhard again if he's *really sure* that 1 + 1 is 3. Leonhard think for a while, and he confidently says the answer is 11. Everyone feels annoyed by his ignorance. Heine taught him to count with his finger, he does so and finally answered 1 + 1 is 2. He feels he's smarter already and confident that he will get 60, while everyone is still worried behind him. Heine gives him a harder question, 4 + 3. He counts with his finger, then become sad because his fingers are not enough to count past 5. Heine is amused because Leonhard didn't even think to use his other hand to count.

Kai suggested that learning is easier if you mix the things you hate with the things you love. Licht agrees with Kai and suggest Bruno to teach Leonhard because he's the closest to him. Bruno's unsure that he can teach better than master Heine and think it's such a ridiculous idea. But Heine said he should try it, Bruno's eyes lit up and he quickly accept because he's happy that Heine trusted him.

Bruno starts teaching him by explaining how addition works but Leonhard didn't pay attention because he's too impressed that Bruno is teaching him *complicated* stuff. Bruno tells him to focus but suddenly Leonhard runs away because he's too impressed at Bruno that he can't concentrate at his lessons. Bruno ask Heine what to do, and turns out Heine already prepared something. A maid comes in and brings a **Torte cake**. Leonhard is happy and try to grab one, but Heine asked him, if there are 6 torte slice shared with him, his brothers and Heine, how much will be left. He quickly answer 1 slice left. Bruno is impressed that he answer 6 - 5 easily. Heine then proceed to ask if there's 30 slice of torte shared among 5 person, how much will be left. Leonhard confusedly answered 25. Then Heine asked what if there are 250 torte slices and Licht asked why do he need that much torte with Bruno muffling him and telling him to shut up.

For the next 2 days, Leonhard studies hard. In his try out test, he got 15 out of 100. Leonhard is happy to get that scores while Heine is still not happy because it's still not enough. Leonhard got depressed and starts imagining that his father will dump him on the streets. Heine ensures him he won't go that far and asked if he understand something from this test, which Leonhard confused. Heine explained that it is "test" and "study" and asked Leonhard if he understand how hard it is for himself. He also said test scored 100 can't be added with anymore points but test scored 15 can still be added with 85 more points. Leonhard later he went back to study himself, leaving Heine surprised. He said that he will study until midnight and tells Heine to teach him so he can score 60 tomorrow. But Heine refuse and tell him to go to sleep because sleeping late is not good for his health, also Heine is sleepy too himself. Leaving Leonhard upset.

**In the morning**, Leonhard is studying while waiting. Then Heine tells him that the time has come for him to take the test, and Heine will be coming with him. The test is taking place in Viktor's office room. Licht, Bruno, and Kai cheered on Leonhard and tell him that he can do it. Viktor starts the test and the time is 60 minutes. Leonhard starts doing his test and Heine thinks to himself that once the test is started, no one can help Leonhard and all a teacher can do is trust their students. After 60 minutes, the time is up and Viktor takes Leonhard's test for Heine to grade. Viktor then announce that Leonhard's score is **59**...

Leonhard scream at joy and his brothers are congratulating him but Heine breaks the moment by reminding him that it's still less than 60. Leonhard got sad again, but Viktor says that the score is wrong. Viktor reminds Heine that he gives 1 point for writing name, so Viktor add 1 more point to Leonhard's score so he got exactly 60 points. Viktor congratulated him but Leonhard is not happy this time because he thinks he still get 59, but Viktor ensure him that he simply following Heine's method because Leonhard is his student. Viktor tells him to be more serious in his studies and Leonhard promised to be better then asked Heine to teach him. But Heine coldly said he already did for a long time and Leonhard got mad by telling him how hard it is to express his feeling to him. Viktor is happy and impressed his sons and their teacher finally can get along

Later at **night** in Viktor's room, Viktor's attendant told him that Heine wanted to meet him and he lets Heine inside. Heine brings a basket with a bottle of white wine hidden inside. Viktor said a *child* should not bring such thing and Heine replies that it's been while since they drink together and called Viktor by his **name**. They share a drink together and Viktor thank Heine for teaching Leonhard and Viktor tells him how important his sons happiness and the future of Glanzreich. Heine understand that and he tells him that's the reason he came here.
