Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Feeling the lingering warmth of the blanket under her fingertips, Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lower lip.
Dong Yunshan... it's definitely not behaving itself.
He completely ignored her command to stay still.
Instead, after she fell asleep, they covered her with a blanket.
Remake the bed and straighten the toys at the head of the bed.
Yukino Yukinoshita whispered in a voice only she could hear:
"... poor."
Not honest at all.
And yet you pretend to be so honest.
"Aww--~" Yui Yuigahama yawned as she walked out, immediately catching the aroma of breakfast. "It smells so good~"
"Go wash your hands." Yukino Yukinoshita, who was helping Dong Yunshan, wiped her hands on her apron. "It'll be ready soon."
"We were going to ask you what you wanted to eat," Dong Yunshan said, "But since you haven't come out, we didn't want to bother you."
"Hehe..." Yui Yuigahama sheepishly, "I was probably too tired, so I slept really soundly -- how did you guys get some rest?"
"I slept very well too~" Komachi Hikigaya replied with a smile, turning her gaze to the two people in the kitchen.
"I slept quite well..." Dong Yunshan began, but then noticed Yukino Yukinoshita's icy glare. "I didn't sleep well..."
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze gradually turned fierce.
"I..." Dong Yunshan looked completely innocent. "Did I sleep comfortably or not?"
"Why are you asking me?" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him.
"I slept okay, just a little uneasy, but it's nothing serious." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "How about you? Same as me?"
Dong Yunshan wanted to hear how Yukino Yukinoshita respond.
"Who's like you? I'm used to it." Yukino Yukinoshita replied casually.
Komachi Hikigaya's expression changed slightly.
Yui Yuigahama reacted for a moment, and then her expression changed.
Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly remembered something and added, "I'm used to waking up at a set time, so no matter how well I sleep, I'll always wake up around the same time."
Yui Yuigahama & Komachi Hikigaya: "Oh~~~"
--
Sobu High School, special building.
Saki Kawasaki raised her hand and knocked on the door. After hearing a response from inside, she opened the door.
The activity room of the Service Club was filled with the aroma of black tea, and cakes and handmade cookies were laid out on the long table.
In addition, there is a vertical steel pipe.
Saki Kawasaki: "...?"
"Welcome." Without needing anyone to remind her, Dong Yunshan hung herself on the steel pipe. "This is how it's used—fitness equipment."
"...That's impressive." Saki Kawasaki put down her bag, took out a piece of paper from it, and said, "I'm here to submit my club application."
"Just give it to me." Yukino Yukinoshita took the application form.
She had originally hoped that Saki Kawasaki would come and study with her.
I never expected Saki Kawasaki to apply to join the Service Club.
"The application form is fine." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "Furthermore, I have another question. Are you familiar with the Service Club's mission?"
"Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a day; right?" Saki Kawasaki sighed softly. "I think I understand now."
Yukino Yukinoshita solemnly signed the application form. "Welcome to the Service Club."
Volume 6: Chapter 219 Club Activities
It feels... quite different from the club I imagined.
Saki Kawasaki initially had no intention of joining any clubs. She had two younger brothers and a younger sister to take care of, and the pressure of getting into good schools left her with no free time to participate in club activities.
However, Service Club involves organizing a book club, and there are two people with excellent academic performance, participating in it will not only not consume too much energy, but can also improve their grades.
This might be a good way to experience club activities.
But is that all there is to club activities?
We ate cake and cookies, drank black tea and read books, and then went home when it was time to go home... Oh, and club activities would be suspended before the regular exams.
Just as Saki Kawasaki, participating in her first club activity, was beginning to recall this, the club activity commenced.
"Anyway..." Dong Yunshan, who had just finished working out, wiped the sweat off with a towel, "This is your new work?"
<The Twin Swords Clash, the World Begins to Reverse> (abbreviated as Twin Swords Clash)
The protagonist Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the legitimate successor of the Ashikaga shogunate and the reincarnation of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
He doesn't usually show off his abilities, but when necessary, he will not hesitate to draw his beloved sword [Shadow Tachi] to fight.
He learned swordsmanship from his grandfather, but his grandfather died protecting him from enemy attacks when Yoshimitsu was young.
After that, in order to protect those around him from danger, he chose to embark on a path of solitary struggle.
He has a rather aloof personality.
Although people don't understand that his solitary lifestyle is to protect those around him, he doesn't care.
His swordsmanship is among the best of his time, and it is said that he even surpasses the Swordmaster General of the past.
The secret katana [Void], which ends wars, can cancel enemy skills, abilities, and spells.
Thus, the enemy was annihilated.
"To be precise, this is my brand new masterpiece..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza crossed his arms and announced with considerable pride, "... a setting collection!"
So, does the Service Club still handle manuscript review...? Saki Kawasaki looked at Yui Yuigahama and found her engrossed in playing on her phone.
Saki Kawasaki lowered her voice. "Aren't you going to take a look?"
"Hmm? No need." Yui Yuigahama shook her head. "That would be a bit too much."
"Excessive?" A question mark appeared above Saki Kawasaki's head.
Yukino Yukinoshita put down the printed paper. "So what about the one from before?"
"Um..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza glanced awkwardly to the side, "My inspiration flows endlessly, more than one work can handle..."
Yukino Yukinoshita succinctly summarized it as. "Giving up halfway."
"!!!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, was struck as if by a heavy blow.
"The midterm exams are just around the corner. You're taking this out now, does that mean you've already finished reviewing?"
"Not... not yet..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza swayed.
"You say you have an endless stream of inspiration, but all I see is the setting, not the plot, and it's only a setting for one person. With two swords crossed, there should at least be two people, right?"
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, almost slipped off his chair. "The rest... are still in the planning stages..."
"Since the protagonist's grandfather died when he was young, how did he learn swordsmanship from his grandfather?"
"This... this..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza was beaded with sweat, "Exceptionally gifted..."
"This setting is quite good," Dong Yunshan said, "It's about bloodline inheritance, the remnant soul of ancestors, and the like."
"Yes, yes!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza nodded vigorously. "That's exactly what I think!"
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan: "How are you going to represent the twin swords and the Reverse World?"
"The only way is to focus on the enemy." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "Let's take a different approach than the mainstream. Instead of a team of heroes defeating the Demon King, let's have the lone protagonist defeat a villain with many allies."
"This is it!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's eyes gleamed. "The strongest swordsman—Bright Woodstark, born in the Mirror Realm, a replica of the real world. His secret sword, [Thousand Blade of Thousand Blade of Mirage], can copy all the skills, techniques, and abilities of others. Because only one can be used at a time, and the original user cannot use their ability after death, he has made many powerful companions!"
"I see..." Saki Kawasaki seemed thoughtful.
If it were just Yukino Yukinoshita, it would simply be a sharp critique.
However, with the addition of Dong Yunshan, it becomes a guide for identifying and filling gaps in knowledge.
With the two working together, they can help Yoshiteru Zaimokuza.
What exactly does Yui Yuigahama"?
"Cancel abilities, and copy abilities." Dong Yunshan nodded. "What about the other settings? Are they also copied from <A Certain Magical Index>?"
"Pfft!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza knelt down with a thud, making a hoarse sound.
Saki Kawasaki: "..."
It turns out that instead of one encouraging and the other suppressing, it was one knocking down and the other finishing off the culprit.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan are already quite formidable; adding another person would indeed be excessive.
With difficulty, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza propped himself up, avoiding the gazes of Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita. He glanced at Yui Yuigahama, who was still playing on her phone, and then turned his gaze to Saki Kawasaki.
Should I say something too...? Saki Kawasaki looked hesitant. "Both characters seem very interesting. They must have had a lot to say to each other when they first met."
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, froze and collapsed to the ground.
Something translucent seemed to float out of the open mouth.
"Huh?" Saki Kawasaki looked at the others helplessly. "Did I say something hurtful?"
"This isn't your problem, it's his." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "He racked his brains to come up with many brilliant ideas, but in the actual story, he couldn't even come up with a single line of dialogue between the two characters. This is quite a common situation."
"I... I will definitely break through this barrier!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's eyes gleamed, and he struggled to speak. "After I've gone into seclusion for three years... three months... three weeks, I'll come back to learn from you again—farewell, waaaaaah..."
That was crying, wasn't it...? Saki Kawasaki asked worriedly, "Is this alright?"
"He comes here every now and then to train his resilience." Dong Yunshan waved his hand. "Don't worry, crying is a good thing; it means he didn't waste his time."
Saki Kawasaki: "...?"
Volume 6: Chapter 220 The True Relationship
After spending a few days together, Saki Kawasaki gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the Service Club, becoming familiar with the daily offerings of black tea and cookies, as well as the occasional cake.
But one question remains.
What exactly is the relationship between Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita?
Review the answers to check the questions you have completed, and mark the questions you got wrong.
Saki Kawasaki carefully analyzed the mistakes, and after figuring out the questions she hadn't answered correctly due to momentary carelessness, she was left with only the questions she couldn't answer even after seeing the answers.
Yui Yuigahama is asking Yukino Yukinoshita a question.
Saki Kawasaki then went to see Dong Yunshan with her questions.
"This question..." Dong Yunshan glanced at it, "The answer should be C."
"Hmm?" Saki Kawasaki knew that Dong Yunshan was a good student, but she didn't expect him to be this good.
She couldn't understand the answer to the question even after looking at it, yet Dong Yunshan answered it correctly with just a glance?
Noticing the surprise on her face, Dong Yunshan asked, "Isn't it C?"
"It's C." Saki Kawasaki looked at the multiple-choice question again. "How did you do it so quickly?"
"Just guessing."
"Ha?"
"Probability problems often have a tricky element in the questions. Most probability problems involve subtracting a fraction from one, and some people might forget to do so, so there's usually a misleading option in the answer key. It's easy to get it wrong if you're not careful," Dong Yunshan explained simply. "So, think about it the other way around. When a probability problem presents two options that add up to one, the correct answer is very likely one of those two. Then, look at the question stem and roughly estimate the probability. In this question, the probability is clearly less than one-half, so the answer is C."
"...?" Saki Kawasaki was stunned. "You can do that?"
"It's just an exam, as long as you get a good score."
"And this question?" Saki Kawasaki pointed to another question.
It's not about probability; you can't just guess.
Dong Yunshan glanced at it. "The drawing is standard. Take a ruler and measure it."
"This works?"
