Chapter 13 (1/2)

Consciousness diving into the system Wu Yan quickly found the thing he’s looking for. With a sigh of relieve he quickly understood why the M1 gives so little reward, this mission isn’t that hard in the first place….

He grinned at Hinagiku.

“Hmmhmm, I’m going to enter this academy, even if Hakuo academy, but I should be able to do it.”

She frowned at his statement and turned grim.

“Don’t look down on Hakuo Academy’s 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?”

“Nn, d.a.m.n right I am sure!”

To h.e.l.l with sure, he’s absolutely positively sure. Relying on himself, even 10 marks is out of the question, but there’s the system….

Looking at his c.o.c.ksure att.i.tude, she began to have qualms, could this dude really be that incredible? He doesn’t look like an intellectual, and he even has a sword, he looks more like a delinquent really.

“Since you’re so sure, let me bring you to the responsible teacher, and let them process your entrance exam shall we?”

Certainly she looks very serious, but she’s a sweet little girl inside, she would do anything to help, even if it’s someone she just met….

“Hold up…”

He stopped her.

“I think it would be better I need to wait a bit before sitting for the entrance exam.”

“Hmm?”

She felt bewildered at him, if you had affairs to finish why didn’t you finish them before you came.

“It’s 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 don’t really come to apply often, it isn’t rare for there to be none at all for a whole year. So basically you have all the time in the world to prepare.”

“Well, I wouldn’t need that long, roughly an hour should do. But I do have a few matters I would like your help with.”

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.

“What do you need my help with? Don’t feel reserved, I am still the student council president of this school.”

Yea Yea, I already know you’re Kaichou sama, and that’s when you’re ‘born’, I don’t need you to remind me….

Retorting he just awkwardly responded to her.

“Could, could you please lend some books to me for a bit?…”

She looks slightly shocked but unexpectedly, her face didn’t show any surprised expression only an understanding smile.

“Actually, if you’re not that confident, you can go home and revise for a few more days, you don’t need to panic over it.”

G.o.d d.a.m.n it, she thought he was going to do some last minute revisions…

“No need, just lend them to me for an hour would do. Furthermore, I wouldn’t have any books to study even if I did go home and revise.”

He explained helplessly to her.

“No books!”

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 doesn’t seem to be joking.

“You don’t have books, so to say you haven’t read it before? If you hadn’t read before, how are you going to sit for the exam!”

“Maa, due to various reason thus…”

“Are you looking down on Hakuo’s entrance exam?”

Now she’s 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 who’s never read books, claims ‘arrogantly’ that he can pa.s.s the exam with just one hour of studying. If this is not a child’s prank, then it’s clearly looking down on Hakuo.

As Hakuo’s student council president, she’s already pretty magnanimous to not get angry at someone who looks down on Hakuo.

Looking at Hinagiku who’s getting angry, he had s.h.i.+vers 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 wouldn’t know where to start, nevermind the entrance exam.

“Gu… You’re misunderstanding, I am not looking down on Hakuo, otherwise I wouldn’t have even come to apply for entry. I have the confidence to do what I claimed.”

He can only put it that way.

“Confidence? So you’re saying, you can pa.s.s the test with one hour study time without ever touching a book before?”

She wants to laugh at the jester, but that wouldn’t be nice so she just pursed her lips while squinting at him.

This is disdain isn’t it?! She’s definitely looking down on me! She is, isn’t she?!

Much as he wanted to retort, the only one getting hurt would be him so he just powerlessly nodded his head.

“Hmph!”

She was indignant at him.

“Are you joking with me?”

Sighing inside he admitted that it was foolish of him to think it would be easy to enroll. With such a doorkeeper, shouldn’t the system have given a more generous award?

Thinking it over, he had a eureka moment he smirked her.

“It looks like you don’t believe I can do it.”

“Yeah!”

She didn’t even hesitate, this left him twitching his lips.

Harrumphing he lifted his finger.

“Well then, why don’t we make a bet?”

“A bet?”

She looked puzzled at him

“What are we betting on?”

“A bet on whether I can pa.s.s the exam after one hour. How about it?”
