Ep. 2: Nariyuki tutors Uruka while Rizu writes an essay during a blackout

Headmaster tasks Nariyuki with tutoring Uruka Takemoto, a talented swimmer failing academics, to secure her Sports Scholarship. After discovering Nariyuki’s connection to Fumino and Rizu, Uruka joins their study group. Rizu requests help rewriting a civilization essay within 24 hours. A neighborhood blackout causes Rizu to cling to Nariyuki due to darkness fear, prompting Uruka to feign similar fear to hold him. Nariyuki constructs an oil lamp for studying, but Uruka extinguishes it, leading to an accidental groping incident while he searches for a lighter. Rizu successfully submits an essay on campfire civilizations. Later, Uruka faces expulsion from the swimming club if she fails an English vocabulary test. To maintain her focus, Nariyuki integrates swimming into her study routine, enabling her to achieve a perfect score. Uruka gifts Nariyuki a pencil case, mistakenly including her unwashed swimsuit.
