Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

"If you had studied diligently, you wouldn't be so anxious now."

After saying this, Ye Ziye felt inexplicably proud. He knew why he felt this way; it was the smugness of a top student.

"I usually exercise a lot, I forgot that the exam is coming up soon..."

Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) drooped down, indicating her low spirits, and Ye Ziye was at a loss for words. It was truly unbelievable that a student would forget about exams.

"Ye Zi, you should understand me, right? Becoming stronger is the most important thing!"

Artoria's eyes lit up with anticipation, and Ye Ziye could feel the intense emotion in them even through the mirror.

"Actually, I don't quite understand... You're already very strong..."

Thinking about how many times he had been left behind by Artoria, Ye Ziye didn't know how to evaluate her. In this world, this girl was probably the top fighter.

He felt that there was no point in Artoria continuing to grow stronger, since there was no one who could be her opponent.

His own swordsmanship proficiency had been stagnant for some time because he hadn't sparred with Artoria for quite a while.

It will take some time before he becomes a rival.

"No! There is no end to becoming stronger!"

Artoria uttered an extremely cheesy line and suddenly raised her little head, causing Ye Ziye's chin to suffer a bit of a beating.

Rubbing his chin, Ye Ziye didn't know what to say. He wished that Artoria could be less obsessed with fighting and be a quiet and beautiful girl. Wouldn't it be better?

He imagined Artoria wearing a white dress, reading a book in the sunlight, and he felt pretty good about it.

"Sorry, Yezi, did I hurt you?"

"It's okay, hurry up and brush your teeth. It's better to go to school early today."

"Ok!"

Under Ye Ziye's guidance, the two of them completed the brushing process in an orderly manner. After washing their faces, they rode their bicycles towards Shuchiin Academy.

Actually, it's still early, and you could cheat at school, but given Artoria's upright knightly character, cheating is probably impossible.

You have to understand that this girl is a legendary figure who always talks about chivalry. Ye Ziye thinks that there may be no more upright person in this world than Artoria.

Upon arriving at school, they wished each other good luck on the exam and then went to their respective classes.

Looking at Artoria's petite figure, Ye Ziye suddenly felt a surge of fatherly emotion, but he quickly shook this strange feeling out of his mind and turned to walk into the classroom.

Chapter 139

In Class B of the first grade, it seemed that the students arrived early because of the upcoming exams. Ye Ziye originally thought he would be one of the first to arrive, but he turned out to be one of the last.

"Good morning, Kato."

Today was the day Ye Ziye took the initiative to greet him, because Kato Megumi was reading a Chinese language book. As the saying goes, even last-minute sharpening can be effective.

Ye Ziye felt that Kato Megumi might be following this principle, but she had been sharpening the gun for several days and didn't know if it was sharpened properly.

"Ah, good morning, Yezi."

Because she had been studying diligently, Kato Megumi had only just noticed Ye Ziye. She was initially surprised, but then greeted him with her signature smile.

She nodded with satisfaction after seeing Ye Ziye wearing glasses; she did the same thing almost every morning.

Seeing that Ye Ziye had started staring out the window after sitting down, without even taking out a book, Kato Megumi asked curiously...

"Ye Zi, aren't you going to study?"

"I don't need to study, I'll do well on the test."

This was extremely rude to the people of the island nation, but Kato Megumi was no ordinary person, so she didn't react much after hearing it and just nodded silently.

For her, it didn't matter; deep down, she unconditionally trusted Ye Ziye.

Although Ye Ziye's grades weren't very good at the beginning of the semester, Kato Megumi felt that the boy next to her would definitely shine in this exam.

Moreover, she felt that she could do well on the exam. Although she had been slacking off in class, she had been studying hard for the past week.

After thinking for a while, Kato Megumi focused her energy on reviewing again. This time, she was determined to do well on the exam because she couldn't afford to lose.

Time passed by, and the bell rang for class. Hiratsuka Shizuya walked into the classroom on time, carrying a stack of test papers.

Because Shuchiin Academy is a private academy for the nobility, this exam was initiated by the school itself, and the questions were all new questions created by the teachers, making it quite difficult.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood on the podium, talking about the exam rules, which were not much different from what the teachers in her previous life in China had said. However, Ye Ziye listened very attentively.

After saying a lot of irrelevant things, Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her fist and said that cheating was not allowed before handing out the exam papers.

Ye Ziye glanced at the questions. Although he hadn't reviewed them, as expected, he knew all the answers to the questions. He could basically recall the answers as soon as he saw them.

Ye Ziye felt that after this exam, the era of Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaguya Shinomiya vying for first place at this school would come to an end, and he would become the new number one.

Although I don't feel anything about this achievement, I think this small achievement is necessary to get into the University of Tokyo, at least that's what Ye Ziye thinks.

The Mandarin test paper was not much different from the Chinese language test paper, the only difference being that there was no classical Chinese text, which made it much easier. As for the composition, it was still at the very end, giving all the students a headache.

After fifteen minutes, Ye Ziye finished answering all the previous questions and then focused on the essay.

As luck would have it, the essay topic was exactly the same one that the student council had been discussing a few days ago: dreams.

This essay topic is probably a common one in high school, since the purpose of going to high school is to go to university, and university is just the first step in realizing one's dreams.

After glancing at the topic, Ye Ziye organized her thoughts and began to write.

Having the skill to learn, he didn't need to think too much; he could write with effortless ease.

There was no word limit for the essay, but Ye Ziye still controlled it a bit, stopping when she reached seven hundred words. She checked that there were no typos before nodding in satisfaction.

After finishing all the questions, Ye Ziye spent another ten minutes checking the test paper to confirm that if he were the proctor, he would get full marks.

That's what he thought earlier, but when it comes to essays, everyone has their own interpretation, and he couldn't guarantee a perfect score. However, he used a lot of fancy words, so his score shouldn't be too low.

Forty minutes into the exam, Ye Ziye raised her hand, handed in her paper, and walked out of the classroom, the whole process flowing smoothly.

The area outside the examination hall was completely silent, because it wasn't just the first-year high school students taking exams today; other grades were also taking exams. The environment outside was naturally very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of writing.

After going down the stairs, he arrived at the playground. This was the first time he had come to the playground during class time, and it felt quite magical.

He was also quite looking forward to seeing the expressions on Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaguya Shinomiya's faces after he came in first place; it was one of his quirky interests.

After all, when he first transmigrated, he suffered quite a bit at the hands of these two girls.

Ye Ziye inserted coins into the vending machine provided at the school, bought a cup of orange juice, and threw it into the trash can after drinking it.

He's a little bored now, perhaps because he came out too early. Sometimes, being ahead of everyone else isn't a good choice; loneliness is inevitable.

But Ye Ziye was already used to it. He wandered aimlessly through the empty campus, his ears filled with sounds like "Quiet!" coming from the classrooms.

In any country, cheating on exams and whispering to each other seem to be unavoidable behaviors among students, which can be considered human nature.

As Ye Ziye walked, he came to a withered cherry blossom tree, the very same cherry blossom tree where he had been forcibly kissed by Artoria that day.

Ultimately, even now, he has no idea what Artoria's motive was for forcibly kissing him that day, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Now that we live together, see each other every day, and eat together, it's quite enjoyable. There's no need to dwell on those incomprehensible things from before.

The true meaning of life lies in enjoying the hard-won simplicity of the present moment, a sentiment Ye Zi deeply felt late at night.

It would be a real loss to disrupt your current life by bringing up past events.

Chapter 140

At 5 p.m., Ye Ziye, who had been taking exams all day, was dismissed from school. Because of the exams, the student council had temporarily suspended its activities, so he wouldn't have to suffer at the hands of Fujiwara Chika today, and the Service Club would too.

Because all the clubs had stopped their activities, Ye Ziye went home with Artoria today.

The two people rode bicycles side by side, completely disregarding road safety laws.

Looking at the date on his phone, Ye Ziye seemed to remember something and spoke to Artoria beside him.

"Saber, come with me to the mall later."

"Okay, are we going to buy groceries?"

Artoria tilted her head, her ahoge (cowlick) remaining upright in the breeze.

"That's only part of the reason; I have other things to buy."

After replying, Ye Ziye didn't say anything more and focused on riding her bicycle. Altria didn't ask any more questions either, knowing that she would find out everything when they arrived at the supermarket.

The two of them rode their bicycles without saying a word and soon arrived at the mall. They parked their bicycles somewhere and then went inside.

Ye Ziye had complete confidence in the security of the shopping mall and believed that her bicycle wouldn't be stolen.

"Yezi, how did your test go today?"

Upon entering the mall, Artoria asked a worried question, her expression suggesting that her exam results were probably not very good.

However, the exact results will not be revealed until next week, as teachers need time to grade the papers.

"It's alright."

Ye Ziye knew he would definitely be number one, but he didn't want to dampen Altria's enthusiasm. He could also tell that the girl hadn't done well on the test.

If he were to come out and show off now, it would be incredibly tasteless.

"I didn't do well on the test this time; I didn't know how to answer so many questions..."

Artoria lowered her head and stepped onto the elevator. The ahoge on her head wasn't standing up as much anymore. She could already foresee the scene of her allowance being reduced, and the thought made her sad.

"The results aren't out yet, why be so discouraged? What if a miracle happens?"

Upon arriving at the food section, Ye Ziye comforted Artoria while selecting fresh vegetables. In truth, he wasn't very good at comforting people; for example, with Fujiwara Chika, it would have the opposite effect.

However, his words of comfort were quite effective today, at least in the case of Artoria, who was clearly cheered up.

"Ye Zi, you're right! What if I do well on the test?"

Ye Ziye couldn't bear to shatter Artoria's self-comfort, so she could only nod silently and carefully select fresh vegetables.

He's worried about what to do if Artoria's grades are really bad. Should he turn his grief into food? He can't handle that.

With a slightly worried heart, Ye Ziye finished replenishing her supplies for the second time, then put everything into the cart and walked in another direction.

He was going to buy some unusual things to prepare for the upcoming Children's Day.

"Ye Zi, what are you going to buy?"

Artoria followed behind Ye Ziye, feeling somewhat curious. This was the first time she had come to this mall and bought anything other than food and cat food.

"Wire."
