Later, when the time comes around for the makeup test, Sasha fails due to fantasizing about food, and Conny fails after he forgets to show up for it; causing them both to be forced to take remedial class'.

Summary

Presentation of results

Presentation of test results

The test results day dooms over the students of Titan Junior High as Keith Sadies informs the class about their scores. Much to Eren and the gang's surprise, Armin effortlessly achieves a perfect score throughout the examination. The teacher then turns to Sasha, doubtly asking her about her own doings. Dumbfounded with failure, Keith sends her to punishment without having any lunch until she recovers her results.

Sasha pleads her classmates to help her with the studies, only for a ton of rejection to fill up her requests. Finally, she asks for Armin, with an agreement along with Conny as a study buddy, he surely agrees. After school, Armin and Sasha minus Conny who forgets about their study session, starts with Sasha's worst subject, Math. Armin proceeds with making things for clear understanding, in Sasha's case, equation equals food. He begins with setting algebraic variables as curry buns, apples, oranges and so on. With that said, Sasha comes to think of infinite possibilities regarding to food analogy so is her ease of comprehension.

Meanwhile, Eren, Jean and Mikasa head to the Scout's clubhouse, catching a dilemma of Oruo in a drastic state.

Oruo's distress

Oruo's distress

Petra prompts him to stop with such bragging due to her irritation. Upon Eren's above suspicion inquiry, Oruo starts to blame himself for letting his gaurd down in the exams. His clubmates tries to convince him that he did his best and to stop bragging about the results already. In a moment, everyone shows their test results and seems like Oruo gets the highest of all scores.


On the other hand, Hange cheerfully approaches Levi with her test scores and pleading on him for a treat in exchange. But as he shows his scores to her which is a point higher, Hange dramatically changes into a poverty-stricken individual tricking Levi into pitying her. As he coldly ignores her plea, Hange comes to an idea of defaming his name in front of the first-years.

Hange restrained

Hange is restrained

With Levi's arrival in the Scout's club house, he finds a restrained Hange and a bunch of members complaining against her. Under another circumstance of suspicion, Eren asks about Hange's poverty state, causing the upperclassman to get loose of the ropes, creepingly exaggerates her own cause by leading them to the biology club.

Thus, the introduction of her secretly kept captives, the Titans, Sawney and Bean. Hange explains the expenses of their food causing her to go broke. Upon knowing the reason behind her neediness, Levi offers her a bag of dog food for the Titans. Hange remarks his cold persona and eats the dog food instead.

Armin praises Sasha with her own abilities in solving problems easily, as the both are heading home. As Armin makes turns his own way, Sasha remarks him as somewhat smart and a nice person setting aside his weakness. She pledges to do her best for the exams in exchange for Armin's efforts. Not a second thereafter, a rumble can be heard and Armin is rushing back to her, pleading that he is afraid of the dark.

Next day makeup tests roll over and Sasha hustles with all the things Armin taught her. Starting with a quick start of food metaphors.Unfortunately, she needs to attend refresher classes due to a second failure. Meanwhile, Conny forgets about the test and heads straight home.
