And so the story shifts to the Wafu~! herself.

Although cheerful at times, Kud shows that she has been struggling at school, due to being uncomfortable when faced with the environment present in an examination. As the Little Busters try to help her in studying for the upcoming exam, Kud has an encounter with those who actually wanted her to fail, as if her failure — or "being clumsy" in vague terms — is an attraction that a quarter-Japanese like her can offer to her classmates. After the proficiency exams, despite their respective results, the Little Busters unite to support Kud's remedial class, with Kyousuke overseeing this "team play" come into fruition.

I think I understand Kud's situation when it comes to learning vs. studying. In learning, you get to acquire information that is unhindered by anything aside from one's capacity to absorb said information, but studying puts tension and pressure (lol physics terms) to the learning process due to the presence of examinations and tests. If one is truly uncomfortable with these things, then one will truly struggle at school.

And actually, that part with the students wanting to see Kud do her dojikko moe "antics" in exchange for dragging her down academically hit too close to home. Admit it, if your favorite clumsy anime girl is transformed into a real-life person, then she would just experience the same thing as Kud.
