In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"If you're too tired... don't force yourself. The pressure of this kind of exam is just too much."

"Do not worry."

Ye Xing smiled and waved, then strode into the examination hall, her tone firm.

"Bearing the name of Jing Ke'ai, I will never lose."

Watching him enter the examination hall and hearing the words in her ears, Hiratsuka Shizuka pursed her lips, her face slightly flushed, and muttered softly.

"You brat... what do you mean by 'carrying Jing's cuteness'... you're giving your teacher weird nicknames again."

After entering the examination room, Ye Xing saw that it was indeed as the middle-aged woman had said.

All of them are independent single rooms, with the top open and the sides covered by boards.

On the ceiling are dozens of cameras that can be moved at different angles, precisely covering each individual room.

"This is your seat."

As a key figure in this joint exam, Ye Xing naturally received special treatment; she didn't need to find her own seat, as a proctor led her there.

When he arrived at his private room, the proctor from Shuchiin High School gave a cold snort, his tone carrying a warning.

"Remember, if you dare to cheat, we will definitely find out."

Ye Xing turned around to look at the other person and chuckled.

“Your Shuchiin Academy should be hoping I cheat.”

"Because the only way I can't get first place is if I'm caught cheating and my score is canceled."

.......

Ten minutes later, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was sitting in her private room with her eyes closed, sorting out her thoughts, finally heard the bell ringing to start the exam.

That combined exam paper for three subjects had always been sitting on the table.

With cameras monitoring the exam, no one dared to start writing beforehand, but most of the test takers had already looked at the papers in advance.

But Kaguya Shinomiya did not.

She didn't know, nor was she interested in, what the school administration thought about this joint examination.

Kaguya Shinomiya only knew a little bit.

Given that Night Star Lord's personality, he would disdain using such petty tricks before the exam even begins.

Since that's the case, she naturally wouldn't do that.

Kaguya Shinomiya picked up her pen and wrote her name on the exam paper, a solemn look appearing in her ruby-like eyes.

Finally, the battle is about to end.

.......

Three hours later, the joint exam ended.

"it is finally over."

The moment the exam papers were collected, Kaguya Shinomiya finally relaxed.

She felt her mind was starting to wander.

The intense concentration required for three hours, coupled with answering the questions one after another in order, meant that her thinking had to constantly switch between the three subjects: humanities, science, and English.

Even Kaguya Shinomiya, with her strong will, had reached her mental limit.

In addition, this exam was significantly more difficult than the usual exams at Shuchiin Academy.

According to Kaguya Shinomiya's estimate, even among the first-year students at Shuchiin Academy, probably less than 20% would be able to answer all the questions.

Of these, probably less than five percent will be able to pass.

but....

Kaguya Shinomiya was quite satisfied with her performance in answering the questions.

The results should be quite good.

She stood up and left the examination room.

When she breathed in the fresh air again, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but relax.

Just then, she saw that not far away, Ye Xing was sitting with a teacher named Hiratsuka Shizuka, holding a bottle of Coca-Cola in her hand. She looked completely relaxed, without any signs of fatigue from the intense tension.

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly, wondering if the exam that she had just taken, which she found extremely difficult and exhausting, was so easy for Yoru-kun?

She simply couldn't believe such a thing could happen.

After hesitating for a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya decided to take the initiative to step forward and greet Yosei.

After all, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Group, she would not fail in these basic etiquettes.

"Yexingjun."

Kaguya Shinomiya walked up to Yosei and said in a calm tone.

"Judging from your expression, it seems that the three-hour exam just now was no challenge for you at all?"

Kaguya Shinomiya also has a competitive spirit. Although she was originally exhausted, she now appears to be in complete control.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xing's next sentence shattered her professional skill of disguising her true thoughts, which she had painstakingly honed for many years. For the first time in her life, this skill was broken.

"Three hours?"

Ye Xing smiled.

"I finished answering all the questions in forty minutes and handed in my paper early."

152 The value of quick answers, the oppressive feeling of the king's instrument.

Forty minutes!?

Even the usually expressionless Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but show emotional fluctuations upon hearing such a startling statement.

Then, she raised her right hand and gently touched her left cheek.

In an instant, Kaguya Shinomiya's surprised look and expression vanished as if they had never existed, and she returned to her calm and serene demeanor.

"Night Star Lord, handing in your paper early... even arrogance has its limits."

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't believe that the other person could finish a difficult exam in just forty minutes, a test that took her nearly three hours to complete.

She had already made a mental estimate when she heard the number.

Even if you just copy the answers directly from the book, it would still take at least half an hour to write everything down.

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't believe that the gap between herself and Yohoshi in front of her could be so great.

"Arrogant?"

Ye Xing chuckled and shook his head.

“I’m not being arrogant.”

He looked directly into Kaguya Shinomiya's calm, red eyes and spoke slowly.

"I just know I can't lose, so I want to win more."

"Win more..."

Kaguya Shinomiya murmured those three words softly, her eyes sparkling.

"So, you think you're confident of winning, so you're trying to outrun me by submitting your paper early?"

Kaguya Shinomiya raised her head, looking directly into Yosei's eyes, and said calmly.

"As expected, you are very arrogant."

Ye Xing suppressed her smile and replied in the same calm tone.

"Whether it's arrogance or real ability, you'll know when the exam results come out."

at this time.

"Kaguya~"

Fujiwara Chika also came out of the examination room and saw Shinomiya Kaguya and Yohoshi standing not far away, talking. She quickly skipped over and greeted them with a sweet smile.

Are you guys comparing answers? I want to participate too!

Fujiwara Chika had been friends with Shinomiya Kaguya since junior high school, so her attitude towards the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family was not like that of other classmates who kept their distance.

"It's not about finding the answer."

Kaguya Shinomiya felt somewhat helpless.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to change the moment Fujiwara Chika walked over.

The tension and sense of destiny surrounding the clash between the two universities' top talents at the end of the first semester transformed into a comedic atmosphere akin to a social gathering.

Kaguya Shinomiya could almost see vibrant petals drifting around Chika Fujiwara.

A cute and innocent aura, yet terrifyingly so.

"So they weren't checking answers after all..."

Fujiwara Chika looked somewhat disappointed, but then looked at Yoruhoshi and asked curiously.

"By the way, Ye Xing, can I ask you something?"

Yoruhoshi's attitude towards Fujiwara Chika was clearly much better than his attitude towards Shinomiya Kaguya.

It's not because of appearance or breast size.

His hostility towards Kaguya Shinomiya stemmed solely from the fact that Kaguya had sent Hayasaka Ai, who was working for her, to stalk him and others around him.

"What is it, Fujiwara-kun?"

"In your school's first year... there should be a girl named Touma, do you know her?"

"Touma?"

Ye Xing nodded slightly.

"She's in the same club as me."
