“…Oh, Kawaii Koto~”

The fantasy is over.

"Well…"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Anyway, I'm sorry,"

Gu Qiao whispered, "I misunderstood you."

Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright."

He was overjoyed to be able to let this boring matter pass by, as it wouldn't affect his enjoyable study in the evening.

He looked at the ancient bridge, wanting to say something encouraging, but was startled by her expression.

Fumino Furuhashi: O_O

"An ancient bridge?"

Hayakawa's expression tightened: "What kind of expression is that?"

“How should I put it…”

Fumino Furuhashi said expressionlessly, "I was quite surprised that Hayakawa-san would have something to be ashamed of."

"...Deliberately looking for trouble?"

Hayakawa's face darkened, and he gradually turned his face toward the demon.

"No, I'm just a little surprised,"

Fumino Furuhashi's lips curled up slightly, her smile as bright as a blooming daffodil: "I feel like I understand Hayakawa-san a little better now, that's wonderful."

Hayakawa: "..."

"me too."

Hayakawa felt a little flustered, so he said without thinking, "I didn't expect you to be jealous over something like this, and you even came to argue with me. I was also very surprised, and I got to know you better, which made me very happy."

"Huh? I didn't eat any..."

Fumino Furuhashi blushed instantly, instinctively wanting to retort, but seeing Furuhashi's expression, she swallowed her words and said, suppressing her embarrassment, "Yeah! So what! As a teacher, shouldn't you treat all students equally? It's not natural for me to feel unbalanced when you do something biased. Even regular teachers in schools wouldn't dare to openly favor one student. You're still far from that level!"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa muttered to herself, "I don't plan to become a teacher in the future."

"Anyway, that's what you are now,"

Fumino Furuhashi said angrily, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "So what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Either become unemployed or inherit the family business."

"Huh? What kind of extravagant choice is this?!"

The sound fades away...

……

The exam time has finally arrived.

Arrive at the examination room before 8:30 a.m., and the exam will begin at 8:45 a.m.

"You don't need to be nervous during the exam later."

Hayakawa gave Ogata his final words of advice on the old bridge in the corridor: "Just do your best, and you'll be fine as long as you perform to your normal level."

"Don't just sit there after you finish, especially you, Guqiao. Don't just lie down and sleep as soon as you finish writing. Check it several times..."

"Ogata, don't get stuck on details like before; try to think about literature in a gentler way..."

"And then...and..."

Hayakawa rambled on and on, unable to stop, until the two girls were finally speechless.

"You're so annoying, Hayakawa-san!"

Fumino Furuhashi said irritably, "You've said these things countless times at home."

"About three times."

Rizu Ogata pushed up her glasses and said, "I can recite them all."

"It's almost time for the exam, we need to go back to the classroom now,"

Fumino Furuhashi smiled and said, "Hayakawa-kun, don't worry, just leave it to us."

"..."

Hayakawa then realized he had been talking for quite a while, paused for a moment, and then said, "Then you should go quickly."

"Ah."

Furuhashi and Ogata nodded to Hayakawa, then turned and walked away.

Hayakawa squinted, quietly watching the two girls' departing figures, his eyes reflecting a star-like halo. He listened to the increasingly light footsteps of the two girls, each step feeling as if it were stepping on his heart.

Okay, he knew he had come this far, he had done everything he could, and now it was their turn to take over. It had nothing to do with him anymore. He just needed to take them to the exam and wait for the results. He didn't need to do anything himself because he had already done everything.

Hayakawa was filled with mixed emotions, and his expression was dejected.

He recalled the first time he met Furuhashi and Ogata. He was called to the office over the loudspeaker, stood in front of the desk facing the principal, with his two arch-enemies standing behind him. He felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, like he had thorns in his back.

"..."

Hayakawa was in a very low mood for some reason. He watched the two girls' thin figures gradually disappear into the distance, feeling very frustrated. He felt like he had a million things he wanted to tell them. He had his back to the two girls, and no one could see that his face was like a frozen tombstone.

A thousand words were left unsaid, but in the end, they all came down to one sentence.

Good luck on your exam.

Hayakawa gripped the handrail beside him and muttered to himself.

No one heard him, and naturally no one responded. He stood there for a while until the two people entered the classroom, then he stiffly turned around and returned to his own classroom.

……

If you ask Hayakawa to find a single flaw in Ichinose School, he could talk on and on for an hour. But if you ask him to find a single advantage, he can only name one.

That means not tormenting people.

Each monthly exam was completed the day before and graded the next day, regardless of whether you did well or poorly. The main selling point was quick and easy elimination.

"The results are out; the results for the entire grade are out."

"Where is it? Where is the report card?"

"Huh? Why did my ranking drop?!"

"See, I told you the answer to this question should be C..."

In Class 1B, the once quiet classroom instantly turned into a bustling marketplace with a shout from a busybody. Hayakawa, who was studying diligently with his head down, frowned, but upon hearing that the grades had been released, he immediately stood up to ask for a report card.

Give me one.

Hayakawa pushed his way to the front of the crowd, reached out and took one report card each from the arts and sciences sections. The students next to him were pushed aside, turned around and were about to start cursing, but when they saw it was Hayakawa, they frowned and remained silent.

Hayakawa walked back with two report cards in his hand, looking at the grades as he went.

He started searching directly from the bottom, because he knew what level the old bridge and Ogata were at.

After flipping through the list briefly, Hayakawa saw the two students' scores.

Fumino Furuhashi: Math 33, Science 41…

Rizu Ogata: Japanese Language: 37, Geography and History: 34

"Oh…"

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then said, "They were all flying at low altitudes."

"But they all passed,"

Hayakawa looked at the two students' grades again, then put down the report cards and muttered to himself, "This level is the limit after a month, it's not bad."

These two are really stupid. They realized they'd guessed quite a few questions correctly when they were answering the test, yet they still managed to barely pass. I'm just...

Hayakawa covered her face with one hand and sobbed, "When did you become so outstanding..."

"call…"

He wiped his eyes, suppressed the heaviness in his heart, let out a long breath, and muttered to himself, "I can relax a little now."

Keep going...

Chapter Fifty-Six: A New Enemy Has Appeared

They should be able to relax a bit after the exams; let's give them a break.

"Let it sit for a day."

Hayakawa nodded.

As for travel...

Hayakawa lowered his head in thought, his expression thoughtful.

The Emperor was clearly in a good mood today, and had actually begun to seriously consider this matter.

After a month of hard work, if I have a vacation, it seems like it wouldn't hurt to go out for a bit...

"Oh, right,"

Hayakawa suddenly remembered something important and opened the report card again.

We also need to look at their scores in another subject.

This is the most important thing for yourself!

"Let me see,"

Hayakawa looked at the top of the first page of the report card, and then...

Fumino Furuhashi: Japanese Literature 100, History and Geography 100

Rizu Ogata: Math 100, Science 100

Hayakawa: "..."

A holiday? With grades that barely passed, you want a holiday? Forget about traveling, all your holidays will be spent making up for lost time.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa's previously satisfied and happy expression vanished without a trace, replaced by a dejected and sad demeanor, filled with the pain of unfulfilled potential and resentment at his bad luck.

Well, I had anticipated this situation. After all, it's only been a month, and the two of them have a history of getting perfect scores every time. They won't be easily dragged down by me.

Although it was still very difficult, Hayakawa was not discouraged and remained full of fighting spirit. When he was working on the "Genius Fall Project," Hayakawa was planning a protracted battle.

"It will definitely have an effect. They probably won't get full marks as easily as before. They should have had more time to answer the questions. After a few more monthly exams, their true colors will be revealed."

Hayakawa muttered a couple of things to himself, glancing at the names below Furuhashi and Ogata, and confidently said, "As long as I maintain my second-place position in the humanities..."

His voice froze, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

"This is…"

Hayakawa let out a clenched stomach sound, staring intently at the second-place names in each subject on the report card, his entire face filled with disbelief.

His eyes were filled with astonishment, terror, and even despair.

He was distressed, he was suffocating, he couldn't accept it, he was heartbroken, and he felt utterly ashamed.
