The quarrels among the companions turned into smoke, floating up into the clear sky.

Chapter 75 Even if you know magic, you can't escape the exam

On the way, in order to avoid being bothered by rumors, Qingzi and Aiwen arrived at the school one after another.

The atmosphere in the school was still as lively and innocent as ever. No one had any idea what kind of battle had taken place last night. The traces of the old school building were also quietly erased, and everything disappeared like a dream.

They talk about their parents’ strictness, their grades and further studies, their love gossip...and of course, the most common thing is sharing food, drinks and fun.

Aiwen never participated in these things, but he enjoyed the relaxation. After all, no matter how powerful one is, one always needs some ordinary joy.

"Good morning, Aiwen."

A familiar voice came to his ears. Without turning around, Aiwen knew that it was Shizuki Sojuro behind him. After all, he was the only one in the class who could talk to him naturally.

"Good morning."

It was the usual response, but today Sojuro didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked with his unique innocent smile.

"You suddenly left class earlier. Was there something urgent? If you need anything, please let me know and I will help."

Rather than trying to get close or win favor, Sojuro was simply applying his secrets of life in the mountains.

"In the past, everyone did this. There are always things that one person cannot do, and at this time, everyone should work together to help."

This is a consensus that has gradually degenerated in modern society. It is precisely because the system called society is too convenient that the subjectivity of individuals becomes increasingly weak.

In the city, as long as you complete your task as a screw, other necessary things can be exchanged for "social credit points", that is, money, and you can survive without sticking together.

The system constructed by humans is too complex, but it can also withstand more crises. This is something that Kusajuro, who grew up in the mountains, has not yet understood.

Perhaps in the future he would gradually integrate into society and understand the rules of civilization, but at this moment, he had not yet gotten over his experience in the mountains and chose to do things his own way.

“Doesn’t everyone always need help from others?”

Aiwen chewed over these words silently and buried them deep in his heart. No one else could help him with what he was about to face.

"No, that matter is over. I don't need your help, Jingxi."

"Really? That's good too. Nothing is wrong."

Kusajuro walked away with a smile on his face, as if he had heard some very happy news. This was nothing new to the class.

Perhaps it was because Soujuro's harmless appearance was too deeply rooted in people's minds that they did not feel any hostility towards Soujuro's frequent conversations with Aiwen.

So, the morning was spent in the teacher's words and the noise of classmates.

There were no accidents or emergencies. Everything was normal except that the barrier covering the entire Misaki City suddenly flashed in the distance.

After a long morning, it is lunch time.

Aiwen came to the former second student meeting room, now the club activity room.

Yes, it is a hollow club composed of President Aozaki, Vice President Tsukishima, and two transfer students, Kusajuro and Aiwen.

Now everyone is used to getting together for lunch, and communicating and complaining during the meal has become the norm. Among them, Tsukiji Tobimaru and Kusajuro are mainly responsible for providing interesting stories, Aoko is responsible for listening, and Aiwen is responsible for being watched.

"Hey, Aozaki, are you okay? You clearly broke your ankle."

Tsukishima took the initiative to ask, and he glanced at Aozaki's legs, which were in a natural posture, and found that they were still flexible and strong, and it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

"..."

But no one paid attention to his words. Qingzi just looked at the book in front of him silently, looking indescribably depressed.

"Aozaki?" he asked again in confusion.

"Tobimaru, when is our final exam for this semester? I seem to have forgotten."

But Aozaki Aoko did not respond to the question. She just flipped through the books and materials in front of her tremblingly. The panic in her eyes was as if the orange had reappeared before her eyes.

"Final exam? Isn't that tomorrow?"

Tobimaru was puzzled. He turned his head to look at Aoko, who was sweating profusely. After a two-second pause, his eyes slowly widened.

"You, you didn't forget the exam date, did you? Then the knowledge points the teacher explained... Oh, it seems you took a day off."

"Tomorrow?! Damn it, I haven't even started reviewing yet!"

Qingzi is now starting to panic. With various blows and injuries coming one after another in the past few days, she has completely forgotten about studying.

"Pfft, hahaha."

"Then you're screwed. I remember that your grades were just average, Aozaki. You always had to cram before every exam. You didn't prepare this time, so are you going to fail?"

"If that's the case, Aozaki, you'll be the first student council president in school history to fail."

The scene suddenly became silent.

Sojuro showed an innocent smile as if he knew nothing; Tobimaru covered his mouth and suppressed a laugh; Aiwen smiled faintly as he savored the lunch given by Azusa; and Aoko sneered in anger.

"Tobimaru, you dare to laugh at me, you're dead!"

With the book rolled up in her hand, Aoko leaned back as if she were holding a baseball bat, then used her waist to mobilize the muscles of her upper body and hit a home run.

"Pooh!"

Hit! Tobimaru fell into a peaceful sleep, and he collapsed on the table, causing the vibration to make Soujuro's lunch fall to the ground.

"what!"

Sojuro stopped smiling and hurried to save his lunch.

Aiwen discovered the danger early on and moved away from the table early, saving Youzhu's lunch box.

"what."

Qingzi threw down her textbook and let out a sigh of relief after venting her anger. Now she could start thinking calmly again.

"No matter how I think about it, all I can do now is sprint to the deadline, even though it's impossible to review all the subjects in one night..."

Qingzi quickly sorted the books into categories, folded his arms across his chest, and carefully checked the exam list in his mind.

"Yes, one night is not enough to review everything, but if I only review the subjects that will be tested tomorrow, I still have a chance."

"Then, after tomorrow's exam, I'll review the material for the day after tomorrow's test, and so on. Yeah, that works!"

Having found a solution, Qingzi excitedly punched the air. However, when she came to her senses, she suddenly realized something. She turned to look at Aiwen who was eating silently.

Yes, he hadn't had time to review, but Aiwen, who was dragged into his battle with Orange, certainly hadn't studied either.

"Teacher Shancheng told me that Aiwen's grades aren't very good. If she doesn't catch up with the review this time, there's a high probability that she'll have to retake the exam."

"After all, he's been involved in my battles and has no free time. In that case, I have to help him. At least make sure he passes all the subjects."

Thinking of this, Qingzi made up her mind. She looked at Aiwen and took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"Aiwen, come with me after school. It seems we need a study session to prepare for tomorrow's exam."

Chapter 76 Aiwen: Youzhu is easier to get along with than you

"Then the club will be disbanded early today. Tobimaru, I entrust all the subsequent affairs to you."

After school, Aoko arranged everything in a swift and decisive manner, leaving aside all the chores, and asked Aiwen to leave amidst Tsukiji Tobimaru's speechless expression.

The whole process took no more than ten minutes, and Aozaki Aoko left like a typhoon, leaving them in chaos.

"Tobimaru, why is Aozaki so anxious?"

Behind him, Sojuro looked at Aoko's leaving back with his usual simple smile, puzzled and admiring.

He also wanted to be a man as efficient as that, but unfortunately he was too busy with his life to have time to change.

"Ah, because if Aozaki doesn't hurry up, she's going to be embarrassed in front of the whole school, and that's unacceptable to her."

Tsukiji Tobimaru handed Soujuro a cup of tea, leaned on the corner of the table, and casually flipped through the homework that Soujuro had completed.

"But that's just a joke. Even if that guy stayed up all night studying, he wouldn't let himself fail."

Tobimaru can be said to have a heartfelt admiration for Aozaki Aoko, to the point where he no longer regards her as a woman.

"Also, Sojuro, please stop looking like you don't care."

With a "bang", he threw the homework book in his hand on the table and drank the tea in the cup in big gulps.

"With so many wrong answers, it seems like studying is really difficult for you. I know it has something to do with your past, but there's no such thing as sympathy points on exams. How are you going to pass?"

Tobimaru looked at the homework he had accidentally flipped through just now, and closed his eyes worried about Sojuro.

"Yeah, it's terrible to fail the exam."

After hearing Tobimaru's words, Kusajuro crossed his arms, as if he remembered something, and a look of obvious loss appeared on his face.

This expression made Tobimaru sigh helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. Just consider this as a gesture of kindness from this young master. If you come to my house today, I'll sacrifice some of my personal time to tutor you."

"Is that true? Thank you, Tobimaru."

"If you want to thank me, why not make your brain more sharp, at least use it more tonight."

Knowing that Sojuro had an extraordinary mind, Tobimaru had already anticipated the suffering he was about to face.

……

"It's so annoying that we have to walk separately every time we leave the school. It would be great if those guys could stop gossiping and become nerdy students who focus on studying."

On the street, Aozaki Aoko complained dissatisfiedly. She had nothing to say about some boys and girls in the school.

"You just know how to make up stories and spread rumors. If you let them continue to make up stories, I'll become the devil who uses my power as student council president to force you."

"It's just a rumor. It's enough to clarify it once. The rest of the people will just treat it as a funny thing. There's no need to pay attention to it."

Compared to the angry Qingzi, Aiwen didn't care much. This level of gossip was not even a big deal, so there was nothing to worry about.

"But I do care! I used to think it was indifferent, but lately I've been caring more and more."

Qingzi gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction, thinking of a way to punish her. Didn't they say she abused her power? Then she would abuse it once.

"Let's send those who spread the most outrageous rumors to forced labor during the winter break. It's time to let the cold wind blow away their distracting thoughts."

The ruthless and cold student council president made a judgment on them at this moment, which quickly warmed up Qingzi's mood.

She stopped dwelling on the matter and turned her attention to Aiwen.

"Speaking of which, Aiwen, when did you meet Youzhu? This is the first time I've seen her so close to someone else."

This question has actually been lingering in Miss Qingzi's mind since the day she was rescued.

"You know, that's Youzhu! She's super difficult to get along with. I don't know how many times she and I argued at the beginning, and now we're just barely keeping to ourselves."

"Because neither Aozaki nor Kuonji are the type to compromise easily, and your territories overlap too much. It would be much better if you didn't live together."

After thinking for a while, Aiwen gave his own answer.

"Will it? But I think if we hadn't become roommates, Yuju and I probably wouldn't even see each other. She and I are from completely different worlds."

Qingzi thought about it and felt that there was really no way to go deeper. There were too many similarities between her and Youzhu's current situation, and there was no accurate definition at all.

"But if you think about it, Aiwen, it would be easy for you to get along with Youzhu. After all, as a fairy tale witch, she loves fantasies that don't exist in reality. Just by existing, you are already like a fairy in fantasy."

Aiwen did not comment on this.

"It was curiosity, I guess. Kuonji was very curious about my uniqueness, and with that as an opportunity, we got to know each other better, and we felt comfortable getting along, so we became acquaintances."

"No, this is far more than just an acquaintance."

Recalling what she knew about Yuzu, Qingzi couldn't help but correct Aiwen's low level of self-awareness.

“When people get along with each other, there will inevitably be friction. It’s just that there are two types: those who can tolerate it and those who can forget it. Those who can’t do that will naturally distance themselves from each other.”

"Yuju has a very low tolerance for unpleasant things and holds grudges, so it's impossible for her to actively be a good friend. It's outrageous that I can't make her feel uncomfortable."

"To be frank, this is simply a natural talent."
