Hearing Katsura Hinagiku's form of address, Wu Yan felt a mouthful of true qi stuck in his throat, neither up nor down, almost choking him to death.

Although his eyes were still on the book, Wu Yan's page-turning slowed down noticeably. He said to Katsura Hinagiku, sounding annoyed, "Just call me Wu Yan, or Yan is fine too, just don't add the 'kun' suffix. We Chinese people don't do that, so it sounds weird."

"Oh? Hmm, I guess so. I've heard that Chinese people usually call each other by their first names. Then I'll just call you Yan, and you can call me Hinagiku," Katsura Hinagiku said to Wu Yan with a smile. Her initial resentment towards Wu Yan had completely dissipated. After spending some time together, Katsura Hinagiku felt that the person in front of her was actually very easy to get along with.

Wu Yan nodded indifferently. Neither of them realized that in Japan, calling someone by their first name was something only done by very close people, like good friends who spent every day together, childhood sweethearts, or couples.

And here, there were two people who had known each other for less than an hour, yet were already calling each other by their first names.

After all, both of them had a nonchalant attitude towards address. Wu Yan didn't care, because in his country, even enemies called each other by their first names. As for Hinagiku, she was easygoing and didn't realize it. This could be seen from the fact that she called Ayasaki Hayate 'Hayate-kun' when they first met in the original story.

Time quietly passed between their questions and answers, until an hour later, Wu Yan finally managed to finish reading the last book in time.

Recalling the content he had memorized, Wu Yan nodded in satisfaction, closed the book in his hand, and stretched.

Hinagiku was stunned by this sight. "You... you finished reading?"

"Yeah, I finished! And even if I hadn't finished, I wouldn't bother reading anymore. An hour has already passed."

Hinagiku was stunned again when she heard this. She looked at the clock on the wall and realized that an hour had indeed passed.

Smiling apologetically, Hinagiku had completely forgotten about the time. But in an instant, she became puzzled again.

"Did you really finish reading all the books? All of them!" Although she had forgotten the time, Hinagiku had not forgotten her conversation with Wu Yan. She had clearly used this hour to chat, and Wu Yan was chatting with her while reading. She hadn't realized it at first, but now, Hinagiku felt it was unbelievable.

Could a person chat with someone while reading, and memorize the contents of a dozen thick books in an hour? If it were you, would you believe it?

Wu Yan didn't know about others, but he knew that Katsura Hinagiku definitely didn't believe it.

"Yeah, I memorized everything!"

Wu Yan looked at Katsura Hinagiku's ghostly expression with amusement. Although he had indeed been chatting while reading, if it had been before... well, never mind about before. Now that he had the 'Perfect Memory' ability, he only needed to glance at something to completely memorize the content he had seen, so Wu Yan felt no pressure at all.

"Don't lie, okay? If you don't pass the test later, you'll lose to me, although I haven't thought of anything I want you to do." Hinagiku felt a little embarrassed that she had distracted Wu Yan from reading by chatting with him. She hadn't noticed it just now, and if Wu Yan used this as an excuse, she would accept it.

But Wu Yan insisted that he had completed the task, which made Hinagiku suspicious.

"I know you don't believe me. The books are here. Just pick a question and ask me," Wu Yan said confidently, patting his chest.

Scoffing, Hinagiku casually picked up a book, flipped through a few pages, and asked a few random questions. Then, her originally disdainful expression became a little shocked.

For five minutes straight, Hinagiku kept changing the questions, but Wu Yan answered them perfectly without any flaws. Gradually, Hinagiku's face began to go numb.

Putting down the book, Hinagiku lowered her head dejectedly. "I lost..."

"The test hasn't even started yet. Why are you giving up?" Wu Yan said with a bit of schadenfreude, not only because teasing a two-dimensional girl was a novel experience, but also because of the condition that Hinagiku would have to fulfill if she lost to him.

Turning her head away with a hint of temper, Hinagiku said unwillingly, "You've memorized everything. Can't you guess whether I'll pass or not?"

"Oh? You believe I can pass now?"

"Yeah, I believe you. Who knew you were a genius, no, a pervert. Memorizing so much content in an hour, I really don't know what your head is made of."

Wu Yan said with a wry smile, "What genius or pervert? I just have a good memory. Does that count as a genius?"

"Good memory? This isn't just a little bit good, but super good, extremely good, almost breaking the world memory record. Does that not count as a pervert?" Hinagiku gave Wu Yan a glare that almost electrocuted him.

The Student Council President's charm is just impossible to ignore...

At that moment, Wu Yan could only shrug his shoulders.

"Forget it, a bet is a bet. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Hinagiku stared intently at Wu Yan, making him feel a lot of pressure.

Although he really wanted to ask the Student Council President to do this and that for him, Wu Yan was sure that if he dared to make such a request, the Student Council President would dare to chop him to death with a sword.

Therefore, Wu Yan could only say with a wry smile, "Well, I don't know yet. I haven't thought about it. I'll tell you when I think of something."

Hinagiku tilted her head in silence, waved her hand, and said, "Then, just consider that I owe you a favor. Come find me when you think of something."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Wu Yan responded, shrugging his shoulders.

"Then, I'll take you to find the teacher and have you take the entrance exam. With your strength, it definitely won't be a problem."

"Okay!" Wu Yan nodded expectantly. Although Wu Yan was already tired of school life, this time it wasn't just for the mission, but also for this legendary Hakuhou Academy. In the two-dimensional anime world, the life that could be enjoyed in this noble academy must be very unusual...

Wu Yan was already getting excited.

Seeing Wu Yan's expectant look, Hinagiku nodded in satisfaction and led him out, saying with a smile, "Then let's go. I'll take you to find the teacher and introduce you to her. She's my sister."

Wu Yan's face stiffened.

Something bad is about to happen...

He forgot about her...

"What's wrong?" Wu Yan looked a little strange, so Hinagiku was puzzled.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Wu Yan said awkwardly, "If the teacher you're talking about is the older sister guarding the door, I think I've already met her. No need for introductions."

Hinagiku suddenly remembered and said with a look of realization, "That's right, my sister is guarding the door today. She should be at the door."

Perhaps she saw a hint of strangeness in Wu Yan's eyes, Hinagiku couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Wu Yan looked at Hinagiku and said with a forced smile, "Well... how should I put it? Because your sister's personality is a bit... a bit quirky. She came up to me without saying a word when I arrived, and wouldn't listen to my explanations. She even chased after me to hit me, so..."

Hinagiku already had a bad feeling. "So what?"

Sighing, Wu Yan said, "I tied her up and left her there!"

"..."

Hinagiku looked up, rubbing her forehead with an expression of exasperation. "Ugh... Sis is still the same as ever..."

Forcing a few dry laughs, Wu Yan could only smile silently.

"Zzzzz..."

At the entrance of Hakuhou Academy, Wu Yan and Hinagiku stood in a corner, both staring at the ground, their mouths twitching incessantly. Wu Yan's face was impassive, while Hinagiku had several 'well' marks appearing on her forehead, veins popping, clearly on the verge of exploding.

On the ground, Hinagiku's sister, Katsura Yukiji, was lying there in the same tied-up position as before, a map stuffed in her mouth, just like when Wu Yan left. The only difference was that her eyes were now tightly closed, and a bubble from her nose rose and fell with her breathing.

Although her eyes were closed and her mouth was stuffed, judging from the expression on her face, she was clearly smiling...

This one... actually fell asleep... and is having a sweet dream...

The 'well' marks on Hinagiku's forehead multiplied, and her veins throbbed even more violently. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing this, Wu Yan quickly retreated, standing on the edge and plugging his ears, lest he be caught in the crossfire.

"Onee-chan!!!"

"Bang!!!"

With a roar, followed by a loud crash and a suppressed scream, a series of sounds echoed at the entrance of Hakuhou Academy, scaring away countless people who were planning to come and watch.

Wu Yan looked at the appalling scene before him and made the sign of the cross in his heart.

May the Lord bless you, you crazy older sister...

Why make the sign of the cross in his heart instead of with his hand? Duh, he needed his hands to plug his ears...

After a period of chaos, everything finally calmed down...

"Sis! When will you be serious and change your personality!" Hinagiku said to Katsura Yukiji, who was covered in bumps, with an expression of disappointment.

"But... someone tied me up... I tried my best to call for help, but no one came to save me, and I was so bored, so... I could only take a nap..." Katsura Yukiji said with a wronged expression. If one ignored the bumps on her head, perhaps someone might have felt sorry for her.

"Who told you to drive people away without asking for their reasons? Is that how a security guard should act?" Hinagiku said angrily, suppressing the urge to beat her up again, her voice low.

"But... if there's an intrusion, my salary will be deducted..." Katsura Yukiji weakly protested to Hinagiku.

"..." Hinagiku couldn't get angry anymore, not because she was moved by Katsura Yukiji's words, but because she was too exhausted to be angry.

Sighing, Hinagiku said helplessly, "Sis, they're just here to apply for admission, wanting to study at our school. Besides, Hakuhou Academy has strict security, so how could it be invaded? Apart from some people who are after the students, what's so good about invading our school?"

"Who knows!" Katsura Yukiji retorted. "What if they use the guise of applying for admission to sneak into the school? Wouldn't my salary still be deducted?"

"But you can't just attack people without saying a word..." Hinagiku roared at Katsura Yukiji resentfully.

"I don't care, I'll eliminate anyone who might hinder me from getting my salary!"

Hinagiku's anger flared up, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Give me a break!"

Katsura Yukiji trembled, her eyes starting to spin.

Hinagiku took a deep breath and said angrily, "Now, they're here to apply for admission. You immediately, right now, prepare the entrance exam for them!"

Katsura Yukiji nodded blankly, her body still swaying, making Wu Yan wonder if she had even heard Hinagiku's words.

Hinagiku calmed her anger, turned her head, and walked towards Wu Yan with her sister. Katsura Yukiji could only follow behind Hinagiku with a wronged expression.

Looking at the scene before him, where the roles should have been reversed, Wu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I really feel for you, Hinagiku. Having such a sister, it's normal for you to be stressed!
