In order to provide his helpless family with a better life, his ultimate goal is to earn the special VIP nomination, a prestigious scholarship that covers all future college fees. Although Nariyuki could be a candidate for the nomination, he is constantly overshadowed by his classmates Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi in mathematics and literature, respectively.

To his delight, Nariyuki receives the nomination, but there is a catch: he has to be the tutor for two of his classmates, who are hopelessly mediocre on the subject of each other’s specialization.
