Li Nian looked around and saw that many people were waving their report cards and talking about this matter.

——"How did you do on the exam? I passed all of them! No need to cram during the holidays, yeah!"

——"I'm so jealous. I'm so miserable. I failed math again..."

——"Hehe, waiting for teacher Xiaochun's loving guidance..."

——“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

If you fail the exam, it means you have to take remedial classes and make up the exam, which further means that your holiday rest time will be taken up again. Suddenly, the scene of some people being happy and some being sad is revealed.

By the way, when Li Nian glanced over, he just happened to see Yuigahama showing her report card to Miura with a sad face. When he saw the child's grades clearly with his amazing eyesight...

"Tsk tsk, this tragic scene is too tragic for me to bear to watch..." Li Nian showed a sympathetic expression.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Totsuka asked confusedly.

"Nothing." Li Nian answered perfunctorily, and then casually asked, "How did you do in the exam, Totsuka?"

Totsuka smiled shyly, with a cute blush on her face. She hid the report card in her hand behind her back in embarrassment: "Although I didn't fail...but I just barely passed. I'd better not show it to you, Li Nian."

"Me too, but the questions this time seem quite difficult." Kato said lazily, "So it's already pretty good to pass the test... That's what I think."

Li Nian glanced at the report card in Kato's hand.

"...It seems to be floating in a very even range?"

"Eh?" Kato tilted his head. "Is this your illusion?"

Li Nian turned around and asked Wu Geng, "How did Wu Geng do in the exam this time?"

Wu Geng, who was suddenly called, was obviously stunned for a moment, and reacted a little slowly. He said in a panic: "...Not very good, I didn't perform well."

"Really?" Li Nian stretched out his tone: "It doesn't matter. At this time, just keep a normal mind."

"..." Wu Geng heard the double meaning in Li Nian's words, took a deep breath, and regained his calm expression: "I know without you telling me... How did you do in the exam?"

She asked back, and Li Nian picked up the envelope on the table, opened it, took out the report card, and glanced at the grades. The scores in each subject were as expected, which made him smile.

"good."

He then folded the report card again and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"...I remember someone boasted that he would be number one in the grade."

"Who knows, if I'm lucky I might actually get there."

Li Nian's answer was ambiguous, and Wu Geng didn't know what his specific results were, but he didn't care much. He didn't take what he said seriously and didn't ask any more questions.

Then the class started.

The first class today is Mathematics taught by Mr. Xiaochun.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she glanced at the students in the class and her eyes fixed on Li Nian.

Because he always slept in her class, Li Nian had been labeled a problem student in her eyes. At this time, Li Nian began to close his eyes and rest as usual... But this time, she did not show an angry expression, but "hmm~~" with a very complicated expression, as if she found it very difficult to deal with. She muttered: "Why can such a student get such a grade... ", and finally she just looked away and didn't care anymore.

For the rest of the class, Teacher Xiaochun rarely made things difficult for Li Nian, because she usually would pester Li Nian. So everyone noticed this strange phenomenon and found it very strange, but no one thought much about it and just thought that Teacher Xiaochun was too lazy to bother with him anymore.

Sobu High School does not have the habit of making students' individual scores public, but it will specifically make the top-ranked students public to show its recognition. It seems that the list was posted during the first class.

So after class, the curious Hube Xiang took a few people out to look at the list out of curiosity. Not long after, he suddenly ran back in a hurry, and couldn't wait to shout out a piece of news.

"Hayato! Hayato! Big news! The top scorer in this exam is actually Li Nian from our class!"

Suddenly, the whole class looked at someone in surprise, who was lying on the table and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Chapter 146 A Little Turbulence

Hikigaya also stared at Li Nian with wide eyes, thinking that this must be a lie, giving this person first place in the grade?

Yuigahama smiled and waved her hands: "Tobe-kun, you are talking nonsense again. Why are you suddenly making fun of classmate Li Nian?"

"It's absolutely true! You can go and see the list posted! The first two characters are his name! There's no one else in the school with the same name, right?!"

Only after Tobu repeatedly emphasized this did Yuigahama's expression gradually change.

“…Are you serious?”

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

It seems to be true.

"Student Li Nian is so strong!" Upon hearing the news, Totsuka had no doubt at all. He was happy for Li Nian and clapped his hands.

But Kato and Gogen beside them looked incredulous and still didn't quite believe it.

This is what most people think.

Li Nian was not a student with excellent grades in the past. At most, he was just hovering around the average line. His academic ability and presence were equally low. No one in the class knew about him, and no one cared. Although he seemed to have changed during the summer vacation, his whole spirit and energy became completely different, which attracted everyone's attention. It can be seen that he has become much "stronger", but he didn't really pay attention in class. At this time, everyone saw that such a person flew to the top in one breath and took the throne of the strongest. It really subverted the impression he gave people and made people feel unbelievable.

As soon as the Ministry of Revenue brought out this news, Li Nian immediately became the focus of attention in many ways.

After the previous monster attack, Li Nian became more alert. Now suddenly so many eyes were on him, of course he noticed it, and suddenly he came to his senses, and scanned his surroundings in a daze, only to find that his classmates were all staring at him.

"…What's the big deal?" He didn't know what he had done.

"Awesome! Super awesome!" Tobe Xiang strode over excitedly, holding onto Li Nian's desk. "What's the ancient saying for this? A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind... I think I got it wrong somewhere, but that's pretty much what it means! Anyway, this is the first time I've seen someone snatch the top spot from Class J's Yukinoshita! Li Nian, you're really awesome!"

This guy was talking incoherently and his words were unclear, but Li Nian still absorbed some information.

"What did you say first?"

"Don't you know? It's all posted on the list! Li Nian, you ranked first in the whole grade in this exam!"

Li Nian lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then he suddenly realized what was going on: "It's about the test scores... Oh, yes, the list should be out by now."

It was only now that he remembered that Sobu High School had the habit of posting a list to commend outstanding students. After all, it was an initiative that had nothing to do with its predecessor, so he didn't remember it clearly. He was not surprised that he could get first place, but he had intended not to make it public. He didn't expect that it would be exposed now, and it seemed to have attracted everyone's attention. He immediately felt very troubled, smacked his lips, scratched his hair and answered perfunctorily: "Well, that's it, basic operation... Oh no, people occasionally perform exceptionally well, nothing to be surprised about."

Li Nian's statement was not convincing at all. His extraordinary performance was obviously too much. The Ministry of Revenue did not believe it. He smiled and leaned close to Li Nian's ear, pretending to be mysterious and whispered: "...Could it be that the little tricks were too much?"

Li Nian's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and suddenly he looked around. Although Hubu did not say this out loud, it was obvious that his thoughts could represent everyone's thoughts. There were indeed many doubts in the glances and whispers that began to be heard.

"……snort."

Li Nian's snort immediately frightened the Minister of Revenue. Thinking that he was a little angry, he quickly apologized and corrected his words with a smile.

"S-Sorry, I was just kidding... don't take it seriously."

But Li Nian just smiled lightly.

"It's inevitable that you would think so... I actually didn't expect to do so well in the exam."

Miura looked at Li Nian with a somewhat unfriendly look, and spoke directly, with a hint of gunpowder: "Hey, tell me the truth, what did you do during the exam?"

This statement was almost enough to say that Li Nian cheated, and Ye Shan beside her immediately frowned.

"Yumiko, don't talk nonsense."

"But! Hayato-kun, aren't you feeling unwilling? Suddenly someone jumps out and runs in front of you!"

If Yukinoshita from Class J was the perennial leader of the second grade, then Hayato Hayama was the perennial runner-up, but suddenly Li Nian jumped out and ran ahead of him, and now he has gloriously stepped down from the second place and become the third. Miura was standing up for him.

"I don't care about such trivial matters, Yumiko..."

Hikigaya looked at this scene and thought that Hayama might not care, but that might not be the case for Yukinoshita... When he thought about the expression on that super competitive guy's face when he saw that someone else's name appeared on the place that should have belonged to him on the list, Hikigaya couldn't help but chuckle.

"I believe this is Li Nian's own level. To be able to snatch the first place from Yukinoshita, Li Nian must have... studied hard... uh, studied?"

Ye Shan wanted to continue smoothing things over, but he felt a little embarrassed to continue speaking because this person didn't look like he had studied seriously. He looked at Li Nian with a wry smile. Although Ye Shan was a good man who always judged others with kindness and was speaking for Li Nian at this time, Ye Shan himself actually didn't quite believe Li Nian's true level.

It's inevitable that everyone would think so. A student with average grades before, who was often caught sleeping in class and criticized by Teacher Xiaochun, and who was obviously not listening carefully, gave people the impression that he was a person with low academic ability. Yet, he suddenly won the first place in the grade. Anyone with a little common sense would be suspicious.

Li Nian knew this, but she shrugged her shoulders without taking it seriously: "Well... you will only find it incredible at the beginning. Once you get used to it, it won't matter."

He did not explain and was too lazy to explain. He knew that he could not explain it clearly. He understood that time was the best means of proof. They would only be surprised now. When his name appeared at the top of the list a few more times, almost everyone in the class would get used to it.

After saying that, Li Nian waved his hands, too lazy to pay attention to such a small matter, and continued to lie down. His previous skill learning was at a critical moment, so he immediately seized the time, closed his eyes and "fell asleep" again.

"Look, how could a guy like that get first place? He must have done something shameful!" Miura looked at him like that and sneered indignantly, becoming more and more certain that Li Nian had cheated.

But when Wu Geng looked at Li Nian like this, he suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about it.

Compared with this man's two incredible talents as an author and as an exorcist, which have already blossomed, what does being first in the grade mean?

He must be a much better person than he usually appears...

In a trance, Wu Geng suddenly felt that the person sitting next to him was so strange.

Chapter 147: One Avenue, Different Paths

"You really give people many surprises from time to time."

After school, in the office, Teacher Hiratsuka looked at Li Nian, who was called to the office by her, and sighed. The roster in her hand recorded the grades of all the students in the class and ranked them. There was no doubt that Li Nian's name was at the very top.

"It's really a surprise. A top student suddenly appeared in Sakurasou. The school must have been shocked too."

At this time, Teacher Chihiro, who was sitting on the other side, had packed up her things and was ready to leave. She saw Li Nian being called over by Teacher Hiratsuka. She had obviously heard that Li Nian had won first place in the grade. Before leaving, she patted Li Nian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "From now on, you are the face of our Sakurasou. It depends on you to redeem the bad reviews that have accumulated in the past."

"Go tell these two seniors, Igusa and Mitaka."

Li Nian rolled his eyes. If anyone was to blame for the ruined reputation of Sakurasou, it must be the aliens and the two men with the humanoid self-propelled artillery. It couldn't be redeemed by just a top student coming out.

"They are beyond help. You are the only one who still has a chance. Keep up the good work. Bye."

Without any thought of doing her best for the reputation of the party as the life guidance teacher of Sakurasou, Teacher Chihiro left in a hurry after leaving this irresponsible encouragement.

"…Is there going to be another social gathering tonight?"

"It seems so."

Li Nian thought that even though Teacher Chihiro was so active in participating in the social gathering, it was not certain that she would really catch a rich man. She should instead look for her own reasons first... Thinking of this, Li Nian suddenly looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"By the way, I remember that you, Mr. Hiratsuka, seemed to be single..."

He originally asked this out of curiosity, but halfway through he felt a cold murderous aura crawling up his spine, so he immediately shut up, and then he heard Mr. Hiratsuka ask with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands eagerly.

"Did you just say something?"

"...Nothing." Li Nian wisely gave up asking questions and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "So, Mr. Hiratsuka, what is the matter with you calling me here?"

Hiratsuka-sensei snorted, picked up the roster, and said while looking at the data.

"Nothing, I just want to ask a few questions. One of them is whether your perfect scores in math, physics and chemistry, and scores in other subjects all exceeding 90 are your true level."

Her question was just as Li Nian expected, so Li Nian answered it straightforwardly.

"Yes."

"...Then I believe you." Mr. Hiratsuka nodded and did not raise any other questions: "It seems that what you said about continuing your studies was true. If you can really maintain this result, then I have nothing to say... Then let's talk about something else. Is your work going well recently?"

This is asking Li Nian about his work as an exorcist.

As soon as Teacher Chihiro left, Teacher Hiratsuka was the only one left in the office. Li Nian couldn't sense the presence of other people nearby, and he didn't feel shy about talking about this topic, so he nodded immediately.

"It's okay, same as always. Thanks to Mr. Hiratsuka for covering for me."

"It's a piece of cake... But I heard that a spiritual disaster happened in downtown Chiba yesterday? Is it true?"

Li Nian was stunned? Mr. Hiratsuka knew? On second thought, although he had controlled the scope of the victims, the police were called in to evacuate the crowd and isolate an entire block. The commotion was actually quite loud, and it was unlikely that it would not be known to the outside world. It would not be surprising if it was known, so he nodded and answered.

“…That’s what happened.”

"Did you handle that, too?"

"That's it."

"..." Mr. Hiratsuka was silent for a while, looked into Li Nian's eyes, and continued: "I have an acquaintance who was there at the time. I went to ask him, and he said that he saw a young man stabbed in the abdomen and fell to the ground seriously injured..."

Li Nian's heart moved slightly, and he immediately showed a confused expression.

"Is that true? I didn't hear about it when I went to deal with it. It was just a simple spiritual disaster. It was dealt with in a few minutes. There were no casualties."

Mr. Hiratsuka looked at Li Nian's face carefully, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying when he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really... That's good. Sorry, I was just a little curious and asked something I shouldn't have asked."

"fine."

"That's all I want to ask. I see you have things to do on weekends, and you take so many days off on weekdays. It seems like your work as an exorcist is quite busy?"

Li Nian's abilities became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more adept at dealing with spiritual disasters. He was extremely efficient and handled things quickly, so he was actually not very busy.
