Chapter 13: Drink it down, don't spill a single drop

"Shinomiya-san, what are you doing?"

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't answer, her teary eyes glancing sideways.

You're the legendary Ice Kaguya-hime who bleeds but doesn't cry, so what's with that teary, about-to-cry expression?

It's just like a grade-schooler who accidentally ate super bitter Chinjao, wants to spit it out, but under the stern gaze of an adult, can only reluctantly swallow it, holding back tears!

"Eh, Kaguya-chan, are you okay?"

Fujiwara Chika, who was sticking out her tongue, looked over with concern. "Why are you crying? Borscht is super bitter, but it shouldn't be bitter enough to make you cry, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face was pale, her eyes teary, and she choked out a few trembling words:

"My, my eyes..."

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes and leaned closer, her clear pink eyes exceptionally beautiful. The little bunnies on her chest jiggled as she bent over, making one subconsciously think of Newton's cradle. "Did a bug fly into them by accident? Don't be scared, I'll blow on them for you."

Amamiya Natsuki's heart stirred. His gaze fell on the Borscht in Shinomiya Kaguya's hand, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Eyes...

Borscht that turns fear into hallucinations...

No way, right?

You're not just overthinking and hallucinating, seeing strange eyes in the Borscht, are you!

Stop overthinking!

The more you think, the more dangerous it gets. Someone like Fujiwara-san, who's busty and brainless, can easily get through this!

"Mealtime is about to end." The Pig-head Butcher's deep, heavy voice echoed from the kitchen. "Students, please leave the cafeteria as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the vengeful spirit students and unlucky players in the cafeteria, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly got up and fled the cafeteria like they were escaping.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly put down her Borscht and tried to stand up.

"Kaguya-chan, you can't run away." Fujiwara Chika placed her right hand on Shinomiya Kaguya's shoulder, her expression serious. "You can't waste food, the Head Chef will be angry. What if he chases us out?"

"Hallucinations, it's all hallucinations. There's nothing in the soup. You're scaring yourself."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly explained the hidden rule.

"So that's how it is." Fujiwara Chika suddenly understood. "No wonder everyone looked so terrified and unable to swallow."

"Even if you say that..."

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip, her gaze fixed on the Borscht, the dew in her eyes almost rolling down.

As she spoke, the terrifying ingredients in the Borscht became even more apparent.

She couldn't drink it.

There was no way she could drink it!

"Shinomiya-san, can you have a little more backbone?"

Amamiya Natsuki chose to encourage his teammate in the same way. "Hurry up and learn from Fujiwara-san. Pinch your nose, close your eyes, and gulp it down."

Unfortunately, his encouragement had little effect this time, failing to ignite any fighting spirit in Shinomiya Kaguya.

"The cafeteria is closing soon... it'll be too late to buy another one..." Fujiwara Chika was anxious. She pressed her fingers against her temples, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Ah, I've thought of a way!"

"Amamiya-kun." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes wide, looking at him expectantly like a young deer. "You haven't finished your Borscht yet. Can you switch with Kaguya-chan?"

"Hmm?"

Amamiya Natsuki was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

That's a great idea. It can indeed solve the current predicament.

Shinomiya Kaguya can't drink the Borscht because her imagination is too terrifying. If she just switches to a bowl of Borscht, the problem will naturally be solved.

"No problem." Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement, pushing the remaining half of his Borscht towards Shinomiya Kaguya. Not only was she a teammate, but also a classmate. He couldn't just ignore her. "Let's switch bowls."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked hesitant.

"Kaguya-chan, what are you hesitating about!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed. "Now is not the time to worry about indirect kissing!"

"I'm not worried about that!"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but retort.

What bothered me was the terrible ingredient in the borscht that looked like an eye. If I gave it to Amamiya Natsuki, my conscience would ache. That's all!

"Don't worry, indirect kissing won't get you pregnant," Fujiwara Chika continued to strike her teammate. "If we were trapped in a desert, we'd have to drink [censored] to survive."

What the hell! What kind of terrible thing did you just say that it got censored!

"Amamiya-kun, please."

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly made up her mind and handed over her borscht.

"Remember, stay calm, don't overthink it. It's best to follow Fujiwara-san's example, close your eyes, and gulp it down."

Amamiya Natsuki took the borscht and tilted his head back, drinking it in one go.

"Kaguya-san, hurry up and drink," Fujiwara Chika said, hands on her hips. "Don't worry, you won't get pregnant."

"Preg, pregnant..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyelashes trembled. The borscht in front of her inexplicably changed again.

Thump, thump, thump.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the kitchen.

"Eh, the Head Chef is coming out," Fujiwara Chika said nervously. "Kaguya-chan, we're running out of time."

"I, I know."

Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath, cupped the bowl in her hands, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling. Mimicking Amamiya Natsuki's earlier action, she tilted her head back and drank.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

"Ura—"

Unfortunately, there was no "Kaguya-sama's Ura" horn, only a muffled cough as she covered her mouth.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Amamiya Natsuki urged.

In the empty, cold cafeteria, only the heavy footsteps of the Pig-head Butcher echoed.

The three quickly left the cafeteria.

"I wish we could stay in the cafeteria forever."

Amamiya Natsuki's tone was regretful.

The cafeteria was a rare treasure trove. Using the Pig-head Butcher's fearsome reputation to gain an advantage felt amazing.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. He wondered if he would ever see the Head Chef again.

"Where should we go next?"

The three returned to the signpost.

"Hmm..." Fujiwara Chika placed her right hand on her chest and pondered for two seconds before quickly raising her hand to suggest, "How about we go to the examination hall?"

"Kaguya-san is super smart. From elementary school to high school, she's always been first in her grade. We'll definitely pass the exam easily."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki felt like this idiot was tempting fate.

"We'll definitely pass easily" sounded a lot like "I'm going home to get married after this battle."

However, as students of Shuchiin Academy, they were all intensely competitive and no one feared exams.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

Following the directions on the signpost, the three walked into the school building.

"Whoa, my body's moving on its own," Fujiwara Chika suddenly exclaimed as she walked in front.

Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya behind her felt the same. The three were controlled by an unknown force, their bodies moving involuntarily to a classroom door. They pushed it open and entered.

A sinister and eerie voice echoed.

"It's full again. The exam begins now."

Chapter 14: Is Bribing a Vengeful Spirit Teacher Wrong?

Vengeful Spirit Classroom.

Death Examination Hall.

His body moved into the classroom involuntarily. After sitting down at an empty seat, Amamiya Natsuki regained control of his body and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now he had the mood to observe the classroom.

Most of the students in the classroom were vengeful spirits, wearing blood-stained school uniforms. Their skin was pale, and they kept their heads down, exuding a cold and evil aura.

Besides them, there were a few other unlucky players like Amamiya Natsuki and the other two.

The doors and windows were covered in bloodstains and scratch marks. The blood seemed fresh, silently testifying to the horrors that had occurred in this classroom.

On the podium stood a tall female teacher with waist-length hair. She had a curvaceous figure and was surprisingly well-endowed. Judging by her figure alone, she was clearly a beauty.

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted upwards, landing on the Proctoring Teacher's face.

Okay.

So it's a car accident scene.

Cross-hatching knife marks, blood-red eyes, and a slit mouth – nothing like a beautiful teacher. She could probably pass as one if she wore a hood.

As Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fixed on her, a line of text slowly appeared above the Proctoring Teacher's head.

[A teacher who was bribed by a student before an exam and leaked the questions. She harbors deep resentment and is very dangerous. Do not engage her directly. Find her weakness and then tame her.]

"Where's the weakness?"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the Proctoring Teacher's chest.

He saw it. There were indeed two weaknesses.

"The 444th round of the exam officially begins."

The Proctoring Teacher stood at the podium, holding a blood-stained ruler, her voice hoarse. "I will now announce the exam rules."

"This round of the exam will last for twenty minutes."

"During this time, you are forbidden to leave the classroom, or you will die."

"After each question is answered, the test paper will be graded automatically. Students who fail the exam will receive a death penalty."

Failing the exam means death. Professor Yang isn't as brutal as you are.

"It's the legendary Big Three!"

A low cry came from beside him.

Several unlucky players looked at the three of them, murmuring amongst themselves.

"Earlier, in the cafeteria, I saw the three big shots collecting protection money from vengeful spirit students!"
