Consciousness diving into the system Wu Yan quickly found the thing heâs looking for. With a sigh of relieve he quickly understood why the M1 gives so little reward, this mission isnât that hard in the first placeâŠ.
He grinned at Hinagiku.
âHmmhmm, Iâm going to enter this academy, even if Hakuo academy, but I should be able to do it.â
She frowned at his statement and turned grim.
âDonât look down on Hakuo Academyâs entrance exam, if you want to enter you must score at least 65 marks, only then do you qualify for this academy, are you sure you want to enter?â
âNn, d.a.m.n right I am sure!â
To h.e.l.l with sure, heâs absolutely positively sure. Relying on himself, even 10 marks is out of the question, but thereâs the systemâŠ.
Looking at his c.o.c.ksure att.i.tude, she began to have qualms, could this dude really be that incredible? He doesnât look like an intellectual, and he even has a sword, he looks more like a delinquent really.
âSince youâre so sure, let me bring you to the responsible teacher, and let them process your entrance exam shall we?â
Certainly she looks very serious, but sheâs a sweet little girl inside, she would do anything to help, even if itâs someone she just metâŠ.
âHold upâŠâ
He stopped her.
âI think it would be better I need to wait a bit before sitting for the entrance exam.â
âHmm?â
She felt bewildered at him, if you had affairs to finish why didnât you finish them before you came.
âItâs alright, if you have any urgent matters to attend to, please by all means attend tot hem, the entrance exam could be taken anytime. Because people donât really come to apply often, it isnât rare for there to be none at all for a whole year. So basically you have all the time in the world to prepare.â
âWell, I wouldnât need that long, roughly an hour should do. But I do have a few matters I would like your help with.â
Rubbing his nose, he can pretty much imagine if he voiced out his request, what kind of look would he elicit from her.
She just gave him a dry laugh.
âWhat do you need my help with? Donât feel reserved, I am still the student council president of this school.â
Yea Yea, I already know youâre Kaichou sama, and thatâs when youâre âbornâ, I donât need you to remind meâŠ.
Retorting he just awkwardly responded to her.
âCould, could you please lend some books to me for a bit?âŠâ
She looks slightly shocked but unexpectedly, her face didnât show any surprised expression only an understanding smile.
âActually, if youâre not that confident, you can go home and revise for a few more days, you donât need to panic over it.â
G.o.d d.a.m.n it, she thought he was going to do some last minute revisionsâŠ
âNo need, just lend them to me for an hour would do. Furthermore, I wouldnât have any books to study even if I did go home and revise.â
He explained helplessly to her.
âNo books!â
She looked at him aghast as if she had seen a prehistoric dinosaur. He promptly overlooked her reaction because he knew it would turn out like this.
She began to question him when she sees that he doesnât seem to be joking.
âYou donât have books, so to say you havenât read it before? If you hadnât read before, how are you going to sit for the exam!â
âMaa, due to various reason thusâŠâ
âAre you looking down on Hakuoâs entrance exam?â
Now sheâs not amused with him. This is a prestigious school, the entry standards are pretty high, just from the 65 marks requirement one can see that for themselves.
And right now, someone whoâs never read books, claims âarrogantlyâ that he can pa.s.s the exam with just one hour of studying. If this is not a childâs prank, then itâs clearly looking down on Hakuo.
As Hakuoâs student council president, sheâs already pretty magnanimous to not get angry at someone who looks down on Hakuo.
Looking at Hinagiku whoâs getting angry, he had shivers down his spine, no mortal could reasonably defend themselves against the wrathful Katsura Hinagiku. But this had to be done, without the books he really wouldnât know where to start, nevermind the entrance exam.
âGu⊠Youâre misunderstanding, I am not looking down on Hakuo, otherwise I wouldnât have even come to apply for entry. I have the confidence to do what I claimed.â
He can only put it that way.
âConfidence? So youâre saying, you can pa.s.s the test with one hour study time without ever touching a book before?â
She wants to laugh at the jester, but that wouldnât be nice so she just pursed her lips while squinting at him.
This is disdain isnât it?! Sheâs definitely looking down on me! She is, isnât she?!
Much as he wanted to retort, the only one getting hurt would be him so he just powerlessly nodded his head.
âHmph!â
She was indignant at him.
âAre you joking with me?â
Sighing inside he admitted that it was foolish of him to think it would be easy to enroll. With such a doorkeeper, shouldnât the system have given a more generous award?
Thinking it over, he had a eureka moment he smirked her.
âIt looks like you donât believe I can do it.â
âYeah!â
She didnât even hesitate, this left him twitching his lips.
Harrumphing he lifted his finger.
âWell then, why donât we make a bet?â
âA bet?â
She looked puzzled at him
âWhat are we betting on?â
âA bet on whether I can pa.s.s the exam after one hour. How about it?â
She raised her eyebrow looking at the him whoâs br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence. She started to waver.
Could it be? He really is a genius and can pa.s.s the exam with one hour study time?
âYou really havenât read any before coming here?â
Sheâs asked indecisively.
âNothing but the whole truth!â
He never read books before. Even during his formal exams, he had only crammed for one or two months. Normally he doesnât even touch books. Never mind reading j.a.panese books, if not for the system, he wouldnât even understand what was written on said book. Itâs not like he knows j.a.panese anyway, oh but he can understand a line or two⊠for instance yamete and whatnotâŠ
You get the gist.
Looking at her whoâs still deciding whether to take him on, he canât help but tease her with a bit of sarcasm.
âWhatâs the matter? Are you afraid?â
âWh- Whoâs afraid! Fine, youâre on!â
n.o.body can get her to go back on her words once sheâs in this state of compet.i.tiveness, not even a cow could drag her back now. The Wu Yan who is familiar with the aspects of 2d, how can he not leverage this?âŠ
âSay it, whatâs the stake!â
Looking at her with her resolute face, he sn.i.g.g.e.red inside his heart, on the surface howeverâŠ. fine, heâs sn.i.g.g.e.ring as well.
âI donât know as well, but letâs do it like this, whoever loses, has to grant the winnerâs condition, how about it?â
His shameless thoughts finally revealed themselves. But the person in question still thinks heâs pure as a saint.
âGood! Itâs settled!â
And so, Kaichou sama jumped unhesitatingly into a pitfall so deep she wouldnât be coming out of it in her whole lifeâŠ
âŠâŠ
Inside the student council office, in Hinagikuâs original seat, was a certain uninvited guest. Sitting there like he owns the joint, sheâs not a happy camper, but what can she do? It was her who brought him here, and it was her who said âSit anywhere you likeâ.
âHere ya go, thatâs all the study materials.â
Placing the last of the books in front of him, she stood arms akimbo. She decided to watch over this guy for the next 1 hour to prevent him from pulling any sleight of the hands.
Looking at those books whoâs thickness lost only by a slight margin to Cihai (TL: to be fair a majority of the words in there one wouldnât encounter normally in everyday conversations, an a.n.a.logy would be how we have a lot words meaning the same thing but we only use one or two of them). He canât help but twitch his brows.
One really canât blame Hayate for cramming like a nerd for the test. This test doesnât seem to be designed for the average person, itâs even more perverse than Chinese styled education. If he didnât have the system as an ace up the sleeve, he wouldnât make it out of this transcript forever would heâŠ.
Katsura Hinagiku: (lv18)
Looking over her information, he canât help but gasp. They really are sisters, both are normal humans, yet one is lv15 and the other is lv18. At tier 2, if they were brought to Silvaria, they would be considered rare monsters wouldnât they. (TL: to clear up confusion, basically silvaria inhabitants had to train to reach tier 2, and this 2 seemed to have here without doing anything special so theyâre rare in this sense not because of their strength themselves).
Her strength is understandable to him. In the original work, sheâs someone who could end a demon with a sword by herself. Heâs shocked, but not that surprised.
He opened the menu list. Even though he did this in front of her, because no one but him can see it and heâs not using his hand but his mind to handle the list, itâs not a big deal. One could say heâs âfairlyâ using haxx (TL: ćŒæ, hacking/cheating/anything unfair).
Opening âabilitiesâ>âskill typeâ his eyes stop at one of the ability after searching the list for awhile.
Impeccable memory (TL: lit complete/entire memory): Memorise everything in field of vision within an instant; 10000 Ap.
Confirming the choice he felt his head becoming lighter, every vague things he thought he had forgotten became clear as if he was looking at an alb.u.m, flipping through it one by one, the pictures.being stored deeply inside of his brain.
His memories clearer than ever, he browsed his archives once more. His face contorted in conflict.
Each vague memory of when he was small came back, he discovered that he really did a lot of stupidly embarra.s.sing s.h.i.t when he was small.
âWhy are you not reading? Giving up?â
She quipped after seeing him not hitting the books and putting on a queer face.
âNn, Iâm going to start now.â
With impeccable memory, he had this test in his bags, picking a book up, he glanced at it 10 lines at a time, everything he sees becomes stored inside his brain. It didnât take long before he finished a book.
âHey, you call this reading? Could you really remember the text by doing it like this?â
It has only been 5 minutes and he already finished a thick book like that. If youâre telling her that he really remembered the content, she wouldnât believe it even if she died.
Too bad, little girl, your opponent is not on the dimension, what can one say, youâre too shallowâŠ
âJust wait an see.â
He smirked at her, and then he went back to reading.
Why didnât he find studying to be so easy back then?
This is what he shamelessly thought when he had already cheated by using points and getting an abilityâŠ.
She just gave him cold shoulder and turned her head to the sideâŠ
Inside the student council office, there was only the sound of pages being flipped through quickly. After a while, she finally broke the silence.
âThatâs right, I havenât heard your name.â
Stopping his movements, he felt tears coursing down his heart. Because he himself forgot to introduce himselfâŠ
âI am Wu Yan!â
âWu Yan? what a strange name, is that your family name or first name?âŠâ(TL: chinese normally have only one character as surname and two as their first name while j.a.panese normally have 2 kanji as surname and 2 as first name, note that itâs ânormallyâ, there can be special cases)
She just touched her cheek at his response.
âEr, it is my full name, if itâs my surname I guess it would be Wu.â
Awkwardly scratching the back of his head he can only fudge it.
âYour surnameâs Wu? What an odd surname, itâs only one character.â
âChinese are like that, only a single character surname, very rare to see one with two characters.â
âYouâre chinese?â
Thrown off by this revealing, she really hadnât thought she was talking to a foreigner.
âIâm chinese!â
