Chapter 520

There's no way around it. Not only is there no time to spare, but even if there were, she can't show herself in front of her teachers and classmates in her current state, so she has no choice but to skip class.

More important to her now than attending classes is taking a shower and changing her clothes—a complete change!

Hey~ He's a real expert at skipping class. Even if you're close to him, you can't avoid skipping class...

The reason he wanted to return here was because--

He stopped in front of the office with the chairman's nameplate, knocked on the door, and only went in after hearing a familiar voice.

Upon entering this bright and spacious room that didn't resemble an office, and seeing the pair of ancestral Reincarnation Eye behind the two-meter-high desk, he instantly felt like he was being stared at by a lion.

"You brat! You said you'd come to meet me during class time! What time is it?! You've got a death wish, haven't you! Huh?"

Okura Rina, standing a few meters away, slammed her hand on the table and glared at him angrily, yelling, "How dare you stand me up! Do you know how long it's been since anyone dared to stand me up? Today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your doting parents!"

Sakurakoji Talent calmly closed the door, shutting out her voice, then playfully went behind her and began massaging her shoulders. "Don't get so excited, Auntie~ There's a reason for all this..."

"No reason is an excuse for standing me up! Tell me! How do you want to die?!"

Okura Rina slapped away his fawning Hands and, still angry, lay back on the leather armchair worth over a million yen.

Since she didn't spend much time here, the furnishings in this room were a grade or two lower than those in her main office at the company.

"Actually... I was just with Rumin-jie. We ran into each other in the Piano Department and spent some time talking!"

He blinked, cleared his throat, and puffed out his chest, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

If he says he was accompanying Ashiri, then he's definitely getting a beating today. But if he says it's Rumin...

"To accompany Auntie...?"

Okura Rina Okura's angry expression froze, and she looked at him suspiciously. "Really? What if I find out you're lying to me..."

He nodded vigorously like a woodpecker. "Really, really! If you don't believe me, call her now and ask!"

If it were anyone else, they might have gotten away with it, but Okura Rina is clearly not an ordinary person.

She picked up the phone that was lying to the side, unlocked it, found Okura Rumin's number, and dialed it without hesitation.

"..."

Huh? You're actually going to hit me?

Sakurakoji Talent stared speechlessly at his aunt, who never played by the rules, and had nothing to say.

Five minutes later, she put down her phone, barely managing to calm her anger.

Although she didn't know why the young aunt across from her sounded flustered, she was, after all, her elder, so she couldn't say anything to her.

"Alright, I'll let you go today, kid."

She casually slapped her phone on the table, her beautiful eyes, untouched by time, sweeping over him. "What did you guys do at noon?"

He gently tugged at his cheek, trying his best not to give himself away. "Um... Rumin-jie didn't eat much at noon, so I took her to get some extra nutrition."

What did you eat?

Okura Rina asked casually, then continued looking at the documents on the table, seemingly not very interested.

"It has seven times the protein of beef."

"Um?"

She paused, seemingly wondering what it was, but quickly gave up and told him to go sit down in the guest area.

Sakurakoji Talent, with a cheerful and obedient demeanor, scurried over and sat down. If it were someone of her age from outside the clan, and if they were more perceptive, they might be able to discern what he had just done based on his aura.

But she... well, there's nothing to worry about.

Despite her sharp tongue, she's actually the most cowardly of her generation.

Ten minutes later.

She temporarily stopped what she was doing, twisted her neck, and asked him, "So? Playboy, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Regarding my enrollment..."

He repeated the story.

Although I feel very sorry for her, she was the last person to find out, even though she was the most crucial one.

"Why? Didn't you already enroll in another school?"

Her lips curled up arrogantly, her expression enigmatic, hinting at something.

She knew, of course, that he had enrolled in Hanasakigawa School through the help of Okura Iyo Ien. Moreover, she knew that the alias he used was that interesting name.

Hehehe~!

In this respect, she really had to praise her nephew, who brought her a long-lost sense of joy.

"You know, genders are different, so of course, their purposes are different too."

Sakurakoji Talent, seemingly oblivious to her gaze, sipped the tea he had just prepared.

If he cared about such a trivial matter, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Mmm~ No wonder it's the tea in the tycoon's office, the taste is absolutely superb~

I'll sneak it to her later!

It's only natural for a nephew to drink his aunt's tea!

Okura Rina rested her chin on the back of her hand, raised an eyebrow, and said with a playful look, "The first-year boys' class in the Design Department has already closed down, didn't you know?"

Tsk, that damn look in his eyes, it's exactly the same as when he and his mother were flirting with others...

"No, I know, that's why I asked to go straight to the second year."

"Wow? You've got some nerve... Upgrading requires an assessment, you know. Do you have the skills?"

She paused for a moment, then added, "It's not just design ability; regular exam scores are also important."

"Since you've missed the regular enrollment period, I can only use a special admissions process combined with the transfer system, so it will be a little more difficult—but that should be fine, right?"

She pinched her little fingers together, the distance between her fingertips seeming like the stars and the sea.

The expression on his face practically screamed, "That's right, I'm going to make things difficult for you."

She knew, of course, that this wouldn't be difficult for him, but she just wanted to make him run around a little longer, and enjoy seeing him looking troubled.

Haha! This is the price you pay for standing her up!

In addition, she also wants to get revenge for the time he sent her emails about crickets!

On the other side.

Hmph~ I knew Baby's woman wouldn't be that simple!

Sakurakoji Talent inwardly scoffed, then took out three prepared documents from his briefcase and slammed them onto her desk.

Is this okay?

She looked closely and saw three report sheets, neatly arranged in a row, all bearing the words "Joint Mock National Unified Examination (April)" and labeled with grades one through three.

The names listed above are: Ogura Asahi, Sakurakoji Talent, and Himemiya Chihaya.

The rankings were all 1/*****.

"..."

Okura Rina pinched the corner of her eye, feeling a little dizzy.

After confirming it several times, she looked up at her nephew in astonishment, her lips suddenly feeling a little dry.

When did you take the exam?

"Has Auntie gotten old?"

His meaning was clearly, "Are you blind?!" (crossed out)

Okura Rina remained silent. She thought this tactic could at least stall her nephew for a month or two, but she hadn't expected him to be so prepared.

Seriously, isn't it a bit too outrageous to be ranked number one in high school?

She knew her nephew was a genius, but was he really that talented? Not only was he exceptionally skilled in his field, but he was also so adept at studying and taking exams?

That brat! Could this little devil be any more outrageous?! Is it so hard to teach him a lesson?!

Okura Rina Xiu clenched her fists tightly, feeling herself getting red-hot.

Sakurakoji Talent a flamboyant air, flicked the silver hair from his forehead, his expression both arrogant and helpless.

Hey~ It's all his fault for never having gone to school, which is why they have no idea about their own required coursework abilities. It's his fault, his fault...

But then again, it's hard for him to fail a test if he wants to learn this kind of knowledge that relies on rote memorization; he can memorize it after reading it twice.

Even subjects like English and Chinese, which are considered easy points, and math, which is also very simple and basic, with the upper limit only reaching advanced mathematics, what can he do? He can't just deliberately answer incorrectly, can he?

"Alright, you can go back now."

Faced with the harsh reality, Risana could only give up, her face stern, her cheeks slightly puffed out as she coldly spoke.

"Received!"

He gathered up the three report cards that might still be useful, stuffed them into his bag, and prepared to go back.

Just before leaving, he remembered what she had mentioned in her email last time, and his foot froze in mid-air.

Chapter 473 You want to become a magical girl, right?

"Oh, right, Auntie..."

"Is there anything else?"

"It's that thing you mentioned last time, the gift or something..."

"Ah~ that one,"

Mentioning this, Okura Rina was no longer sleepy. She sat leisurely in her seat, her delicate hands crossed, and smiled slightly, "So, have you decided what to give me?"

No, not at all.

"What?! My birthday is the day after tomorrow, and you're still not ready?! Don't you respect your aunt at all?!"

"Why did you have to make such a difficult request? It's really hard for me to handle."

"Hmm? Is this request difficult to fulfill?"

She looked surprised.

"Of course, don't imagine Esper to be all-powerful, okay?"

He sighed and returned to the sofa. "I'm far from being that omnipotent right now."

"Okay, I was just being presumptuous."

Okura Rina to admit her mistake, then asked curiously, "So what can you do now?"

Sakurakoji Talent thought for a moment, then carefully asked, "Like, how about making you fly?"

"Oh, that sounds good too. Let's try it next time. Anything else?"

"Can hypnosis improve your sleep quality?"

"That's quite useful... Wait a minute!"

Her gaze suddenly sharpened, sweeping over me. "You didn't hypnotize me without me realizing it, did you?!"

"For example, the reason I agreed to let you enroll is actually because of the result of you using your abilities!"

Tch, you're overthinking things.

He shook his head decisively. "I've only used it on a few passersby so far."

"Really~?"

She looked incredulous, her narrowed purple eyes filled with doubt. "If it were me, I'd use such a convenient ability every day..."

Please don't judge others by your own standards, okay?

He returned an equal smile, "Besides, I don't need those methods to get things done; I'm a good person!"

Good people don't say they're good people...

Even so, she believed him, since he really did have the ability to say such things.

"It's still terrifying, though. They can even hypnotize and control people... It's just like a game!"
