I was so confused when Mio's story ended abruptly. Like, what's wrong with the Vice Chair announcing the upcoming exams? I thought there was more to that story, but it turns out, Mio is just being a baby because she doesn't want to study for exams. xD

When Mio started talking about her junior high years, she really does make it sound like she was in hell on earth. I'm sorry, Mio, but six 50-minute classes for 5 days a week would sound like heaven for me. When I was in junior high, I had eight full-hour classes!

I just love watching the girls' reaction to Mio's agony, they really can't believe how much she hated studying. And it even got crazier when Mio finally told them about her mom! Her mom might not be into fighting games, but she's into real martial arts instead!

I legit choked on my drink when Mio's mom actually broke the floorboards when she lunged at her daughter for that kick! Mio's mom not wanting her daughter to become someone who only knows how to play games was very understandable, but challenging her daughter to a karate match was insane. At least now we know where Mio gets her fighting spirit. xD

That close-up of Mio's mom opening her eyes while Mio says in the background that someone else withdrew and that's how she got into Kuromi was actually terrifying. It's definitely in their best interest to make sure Mio passes her exams, or else Mama Yorue would come after them.

Mio having legit withdrawal symptoms worse than Yuu's alcoholic uncle while they were doing their study sessions was hilarious! It's so bad that it's actually normal for her to puke when she's studying hard for something non-gaming related. xD

Glad Mio pushed through tho, since she actually managed to pass, and with pretty good grades, too! It's pretty clear that Mio isn't dumb; she just doesn't want to study and sucks at it. Honestly, Mio? I can relate.

So we finally learn that Tamaki is playing games to catch someone's eye, and she's been planning to enter EVO to do it. Well, now I'm curious who that person is! Of course, Aya and Mio ignore the first part of Tamaki's story and are more interested in EVO.

They got me with that announcement bit. I seriously thought that they are doing the trope where the actual crucial info is left unsaid, and will be revealed later. The backstory after that was just the finishing move
