After sinking his consciousness into the system and finding what he wanted, Wu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the quest reward was only a thousand points of each kind. This quest had not been that difficult to begin with... Wu Yan smiled and said to Katsura Hinagiku, "Yes, I want to enroll. Although Hakuhou Academy's entrance exam is difficult, I should be able to pass."
Katsura Hinagiku frowned, her lovely brows drawing together as she said seriously, "Don't underestimate Hakuhou Academy's entrance exam. You need to score sixty-five points just to pass, and only then can you enter Hakuhou Academy. Do you still want to enroll?"
"Yes, I'm sure!" More than sure—he was absolutely certain. If he had to rely on himself, he might not even get ten points, but he still had the system...
Seeing how unconcerned Wu Yan seemed, Katsura Hinagiku felt doubtful. Could this man really be that capable? He did not look like an intellectual at all. He even carried a sword, making him look more like some delinquent.
"Since you've made up your mind, I'll take you to see the teachers and have them prepare the entrance written exam for you." Though she looked quite imposing, the Student Council President was actually a kind-hearted young girl. Even toward someone she had just met, she spared no effort in helping... ...
"Wait..." Wu Yan called out to Katsura Hinagiku. "I think I'll need to wait a while before taking the entrance exam."
"Hm?" Katsura Hinagiku looked at Wu Yan in confusion. If he had something to do, why had he not finished it before coming here?
"It's fine. If you have something to take care of, go handle it first. You can take the entrance exam whenever you want. There are very few applicants to begin with—sometimes an entire year passes without anyone applying—so you have plenty of time."
"Well, it won't take long, about an hour. But there is something I'd like to ask you to help with." Wu Yan rubbed his nose. He could already imagine the strange look Katsura Hinagiku would give him once he made his request.
Katsura Hinagiku chuckled and said, "What do you need help with? Don't be polite. After all, I'm the student council president of this academy."
Yes, yes, I know you're the Student Council President. I knew that the moment you appeared, so there's no need to keep reminding me...
Grumbling inwardly, Wu Yan said awkwardly, "Um, could you lend me some books...?"
Katsura Hinagiku froze for a moment. Unexpectedly, there was no surprise on her face. Instead, she smiled at Wu Yan and said, "Actually, if you aren't confident, you can go home and study for a few more days. There's no need to be so nervous." ... ...
All right, so the Student Council President thought he was trying to cram at the last minute...
"That won't be necessary. Just lending them to me for an hour will be enough. Besides, even if I went back, I wouldn't have any books to study from." Left with no choice, Wu Yan could only explain.
"No books?" Katsura Hinagiku stared at Wu Yan in shock, as though she were looking at some prehistoric beast. Wu Yan had expected that expression from her, so he automatically ignored it.
Seeing that Wu Yan did not seem to be joking, Katsura Hinagiku was genuinely astonished.
"You don't have any books? That means you haven't read any books at all? How are you planning to take the exam without reading any books?"
"Well, for various reasons, so..."
"Are you looking down on Hakuhou Academy's entrance exam?" Katsura Hinagiku was dissatisfied now. Hakuhou Academy was a famous aristocratic academy, and its entrance standards were exceptionally high. That could be seen from the daunting passing mark of sixty-five points.
And now, someone who had never even read the books was arrogantly claiming that just one hour would be enough for him to pass the entrance exam. Either he was treating it as a joke, or he was looking down on Hakuhou Academy! ...
