Hakuhou Academy truly deserved its reputation as one of the world's most prestigious aristocratic schools. Even setting aside its absurdly vast grounds and buildings that looked more like villas than classrooms, it was anything but an ordinary high-end institution... Not to mention its incredibly demanding admission standards, which alone were enough to turn away most students who came seeking its fame. That much was clear from Hakuhou Academy's entrance examination papers.
Even Wu Yan, who had memorized the contents of every textbook, did not dare claim he could score above excellent. Others did not even need to imagine it. Wu Yan did not know whether he had received such an absurdly difficult test because he had offended that neurotic woman, but it really had been hard.
Even so, Wu Yan was still full of confidence about getting a passing score. He could not help but sigh inwardly. His former self, who had treated exams like savage beasts, would never return. With the ability Perfect Memory, exams and the like were nothing but clouds...
Next, all he had to do was wait obediently for Hakuhou Academy's admission letter to arrive...
However, another problem now stood before Wu Yan, all because of something Katsura Yukiji had said.
"Leave your address. When the time comes, someone will personally deliver the admission letter."
Yes, that was perfectly normal. Leaving an address was perfectly normal, after all. Hakuhou Academy could not possibly assign someone to grade one person's test paper on the spot, and preparing an admission letter took time too—probably two or three days.
And could you wait at the school for those two or three days?
So leaving an address was merely a formality.
The problem was that Wu Yan did not have an address!
He had not even been in this world for a full day. Where was he supposed to have a place to live...
He could casually write down some address. It was not impossible, but Wu Yan did not know when the admission letter would be sent, and he could not stay in one place waiting for a single letter forever...
Thus, Wu Yan fell into a modest but troublesome dilemma.
It was only an address... Did he really need to worry over it...
"What's wrong? Another problem?" Hinagiku had already grown used to Wu Yan running into one problem after another.
Wu Yan looked at the beautiful Student Council President. His eyes shifted, and a plan flashed through his mind.
With a plop, he dropped to one knee before Hinagiku. The Student Council President, who feared neither heaven nor earth except heights and her small chest, was startled. Before Hinagiku could react, Wu Yan struck a pose, his face solemn as he said,
"Do you need a butler?"...
"Huh?" Hinagiku was completely unable to keep up with Wu Yan's train of thought. What was this supposed to be now?
"Well, Hinagiku, let me be your butler." Sure enough, Wu Yan could not stay serious for even a second. He immediately returned to his usual carefree manner, spreading his hands as he said with a grin,
"My butler?" Hinagiku pointed at her own nose, her face full of surprise. Although she attended Hakuhou Academy, an aristocratic school filled with children from wealthy families, Hinagiku herself came from only a somewhat well-off household. She had absolutely nothing to do with butlers.
Besides, their Student Council President was famously capable. Otherwise, she would never have become the president of Hakuhou Academy's student council, where talented people were everywhere. She had never once considered hiring a butler.
Out of nowhere, this person wanted to become the butler of someone who had no need for a butler at all. Hinagiku could not help suspecting that Wu Yan had some other motive.
"That's right! Your butler!" Wu Yan said seriously. "How could the student council president of the aristocratic Hakuhou Academy not have her own butler? That's why I want to be your butler!"...
