Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

For ordinary students, completing the test within an hour is a difficult task, let alone checking it a second time.

No…

Maintaining complete concentration for up to three hours is already an extremely severe test.

Shizuka Hiratsuka and Mafuyu Kirisu didn't believe that the usual exams at Private Shuchiin Academy followed such torturous rules.

This was clearly prepared specifically for this joint exam.

“This is definitely not…”

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was halfway through her sentence, Yae Star nonchalantly said.

“Then let’s start as soon as possible.”

Seeing that Yae Star had agreed, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't say much more and could only nod helplessly.

“Alright.”

…

Before entering the examination hall, Kaguya Shinomiya specifically walked up to Yae Star and softly said.

“I know that these exam rules are more favorable to me, fighting on my home ground, so…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat surprised, thinking that Yae Star was being magnanimous, she heard the other party add with a smile, words that reignited her competitive spirit.

“On the contrary, I hope there are more conditions that are unfavorable to me and favorable to you.”

“Otherwise, how can I make Shuchiin recognize the gap between you and me?”

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes flickered, and she said lightly.

“I only hope that your strength can match your words.”

After saying that, she stepped into the examination hall.

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't have to take the exam, she was exceptionally nervous at the moment.

She walked up to Yae Star, looking worried.

“If you’re too tired… you don’t have to push yourself. The pressure of this kind of exam is really too great.”

“Don’t worry.”

Yae Star waved his hand with a smile and strode towards the examination hall, his tone firm.

“Bearing the name of Shizuka Cutie, I will never lose.”

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

“That brat… what ‘Bearing Shizuka Cutie’… he’s giving the teacher strange nicknames again.”

After entering the examination hall, Yae Star saw that it was indeed as the middle-aged woman had said.

All were independent single rooms, with the top open and the four sides covered by boards.

And on the ceiling, there were dozens of cameras with adjustable angles, accurately covering every single room.

“This is your seat.”

As the key figure in this joint exam, Yae Star naturally received special treatment, not needing to find his own seat, but being led by a proctor.

When he walked to his designated single room, the proctor from Shuchiin Academy snorted coldly, his tone carrying a warning.

“Remember, if you dare to cheat, we will definitely discover it.”

Yae Star turned around to look at the other party and chuckled.

“Your Shuchiin Academy should hope that I cheat.”

“Because, only if I am caught cheating and have my results canceled, is there a chance that I won't get first place.”

…

Ten minutes later, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was sitting in the single room with her eyes closed, organizing her thoughts, finally heard the bell signaling the start of the exam.

The combined three-subject paper had been placed on the desk all along.

With camera surveillance, of course, no one dared to start writing early, but most of the candidates had previewed the paper.

But Kaguya Shinomiya had not.

She didn't know what Shuchiin Academy's intentions were for this joint exam, nor was she interested in knowing.

Kaguya Shinomiya only knew one thing.

According to that Yae Star-kun's personality, he would disdain using such petty tricks before the exam started.

Since that was the case, she naturally wouldn't do it either.

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

Finally, the time to determine the victor had come.

…

Three hours later, the joint exam ended.

“It’s finally over.”

The moment the exam paper was collected, Kaguya Shinomiya finally relaxed.

She felt that her brain was already somewhat dazed.

Three hours of high concentration, coupled with the fact that she answered the questions in order, constantly switching her thinking between literature, science, and English.

Even with Kaguya Shinomiya's strong willpower, her spirit had reached its limit.

In addition, the difficulty of this exam was obviously many times more complex than the usual Shuchiin Academy exams.

According to Kaguya Shinomiya's estimation, even among the first-year students of Shuchiin Academy, probably less than twenty percent could complete all the questions.

And among them, those who could reach the passing grade might not even reach five percent.

However…

Kaguya Shinomiya felt very satisfied with her performance on this exam.

Her results should be very good.

She stood up and left the examination hall.

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

Just then, she saw Yae Star sitting with the teacher named Hiratsuka Shizuka not far away, holding a bottle of Coca-Cola in his hand. He didn't look tired at all after the high-intensity concentration, but rather relaxed.

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly, thinking, could it be that the exam that she found extremely difficult and exhausting was so easy for Yae Star-kun?

She absolutely didn't believe such a thing could happen.

After hesitating for a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya still chose to take the initiative to walk forward, preparing to greet Yae Star.

After all, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Group, she wouldn't lack these basic manners.

“Yae Star-kun.”

Kaguya Shinomiya walked up to Yae Star, her tone calm.

“Looking at you, it seems that this three-hour exam was not difficult for you at all?”

Kaguya Shinomiya also had a competitive spirit. Although she was already exhausted, she had now put on a calm and collected appearance.

Unexpectedly, Yae Star's next sentence shattered her professionally trained skill of disguising her inner thoughts, which she had honed for many years, for the first time in her life.

“Three hours?”

Yae Star smiled.

“I had already finished answering everything in forty minutes and handed in the paper early.”

Chapter 152 The Gold Content of Quick Answers, The Pressure of the King's Instrument

“Forty minutes!?”

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had always been calm and expressionless, couldn't help but reveal emotional fluctuations upon hearing such shocking words.

Immediately afterward, she raised her right hand and gently stroked her left cheek.

In just an instant, Kaguya Shinomiya's surprised gaze and expression disappeared as if they had never appeared, and she returned to that gentle and calm appearance.

“Yae Star-kun, handing in the paper early… even being arrogant has its limits.”

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't believe that she could complete a difficult exam paper in nearly three hours, while the other party could finish it in just forty minutes.

When she heard this number, she had already estimated it in her mind.

Even if the answers were placed in front of her to copy, it would still take at least half an hour to write everything down.

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't believe that the gap between herself and the Yae Star in front of her could be so large.

“Arrogant?”

Yae Star shook his head with a chuckle.

“I’m not being arrogant.”

He looked directly into Kaguya Shinomiya's unwavering red eyes and slowly said.

“It’s just that I know I can’t lose, so I want to win even more.”

“Win even more…”

Kaguya Shinomiya whispered these three words, her eyes flashing.

“In other words, you feel that you have everything under control, so you want to surpass me in answering speed by handing in the paper early?”

Kaguya Shinomiya raised her head and also looked directly into Yae Star's eyes, saying calmly.

“Indeed, you are very arrogant.”

Yae Star restrained his smile and replied in an equally calm tone.

“Whether it’s arrogance or strength, you’ll know when the exam results come out.”

Just then.

“Kaguya”

Fujiwara Chika also came out of the examination hall and, seeing Kaguya Shinomiya and Yae Star talking not far away, hurriedly skipped over, greeting them with a sweet smile.

“Are you guys comparing answers? I want to join too!”

Fujiwara Chika had been friends with Kaguya Shinomiya since middle school, so her attitude towards the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family wasn't as respectful and distant as other classmates.

“We’re not comparing answers.”

Kaguya Shinomiya felt somewhat helpless in her heart.

The moment Fujiwara Chika walked over, she felt that the atmosphere in the venue had changed.

The tension and sense of destiny between the strongest geniuses of the two high schools, determining the victor at the end of the first semester, directly turned into a hilarious atmosphere like a social gathering.

Kaguya Shinomiya could almost see colorful petals floating around Fujiwara Chika.

Dazed and cute aura, terrifying.

“So you’re not comparing answers…”

Fujiwara Chika looked somewhat disappointed, then looked at Yae Star curiously.

“By the way, Yae Star-kun, can I ask you something?”

Yae Star's attitude towards Fujiwara Chika was obviously much better than towards Kaguya Shinomiya.

It wasn't because of appearance, bust size, or anything like that.

His hostility towards Kaguya Shinomiya was only because the other party had sent Hayasaka Ai to follow him and the people around him.

“What is it, Fujiwara-san?”

“Among the first-year students at your school… there should be a girl with the surname Touma, do you know her?”

“Touma?”
