The nth time I met my puppet

"Heh... then don't make your mentor so angry again."

Wan Nan's eyelids twitched wildly, and she already had the urge to pick up the sword and chop someone, although she seemed unable to beat him. So she could only suppress her anger and speak.

"Can't you say something nice?!

"Am I being harsh? I'm just speaking the truth. Those who can't accept it should reflect on the reasons themselves."

Wan Nan was speechless. Why was this person so foul-mouthed? She was just stabbing me in the heart. Did she want to do that? It was a pity that she tried her best but still couldn't pass.

"They've been picked up and punished to stand here, and yet they're still whispering?"

Tinari heard the noise at some point and came out, looking unhappy.

"No ..."

Wan Nan wanted to explain something but was interrupted by San Bing. She just continued speaking after being interrupted.

"Yeah~ We were just talking in private, right? Wanxing-san?"

The corners of Wan Nan's mouth twitched wildly, and he clenched his fists, unable to hold back and wanting to attack, but he definitely couldn't do that in front of Tinari.

Damn it...! He did it on purpose!

You bastard! How could someone be such a bastard?!

Wan Nan cursed inwardly, but 007 popped his head out and said

"Host... to be honest, you're quite a bitch. Think about how well-behaved the Inquisitor used to be. It must be the host's fault that he became like this, right? So, host, don't you want to reflect on yourself first?"

Wan Nan immediately became angry when he heard this. Why is 007 still sticking his elbow outward?

"What's the point of reflecting on this? 007, whose side are you on?"

"Of course 007 is on the host's side, but isn't what 007 said true?"

007 spoke sincerely, but Wan Nan was still frowning. Tinari saw that Wan Nan's expression seemed not right, and thought that Wan Nan was dissatisfied with him, so he frowned immediately.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the scattered soldiers added fuel to the fire in a sarcastic manner.

"I don't know who came into my class last time with a plant encyclopedia. I don't know who brought up these good students~"

Tinari's face turned completely dark, and Sanbing also felt that after his actions, the situation was almost heated and it was time to leave, so he left without hesitation.

Tinari also planned to have a serious talk with Wannan.

"Wanxing, I've always thought you were a very smart person, but I hope you can correct your attitude towards study. If you're trying to manipulate your grades by pretending to be a poor student, that kind of attitude won't work."

Wan Nan was stunned for a moment, her face blank. She didn't know what Tinari meant by controlling the score. Had she ever done such a thing? Impossible, she couldn't even pass the exam in the first place.

"Teacher Tinari, did you misunderstand something? I didn't control the score."

Tinari sighed. He felt that Wan Nan's words showed that he was determined to keep his bad habits.

"The full score is 100 points, and you only got one question wrong and got the rest right. If that one question was wrong, then your score would be right at the passing score of 60 points."

Wan Nan then took a serious look at the test paper in her hand. Just as Tinari said, she got most of the questions she guessed right except for one wrong, which led Tinari to believe that she was maliciously manipulating the test paper.

Tinari ignored Wannan's confusion and continued his analysis.

"Many of the questions left are not difficult. I think with your previous level of skill, you shouldn't be able to do them. How do you explain this?"

Wan Nan was speechless and choked with emotion.

"Host...what he said makes a lot of sense. Host, you're not really playing dumb and deliberately controlling your score, are you?"

Tinari's analysis was so well-reasoned that even 007 began to doubt the possibility. If she hadn't done the test herself, she would have believed it.

"Get lost! If I were controlling my score, I wouldn't be here studying day and night. You know what I know about Teyvat. 007 is a complete idiot. I'm not a genius, so how could I possibly have that ability?"

Some of the questions she left blank did not seem difficult to Tinari, which was true, but Wan Nan had been studying and cramming from scratch during this period, so it was impossible for her to master all aspects, and there were bound to be some omissions.

She might have just not remembered the relevant knowledge and happened to be tested on it, which became evidence for Tinari to suspect that she was manipulating the scores. In addition, Wan Nan left the question blank instead of making a mistake, which greatly increased the suspicion of manipulation of scores.

Faced with Tinari's well-founded and very reasonable suspicion, Wan Nan could only apologize and explain sincerely.

"Teacher Tinari, I'm sorry that I caused you to misunderstand me because of my momentary negligence. Actually, I simply don't know how to answer the blank questions."

Wan Nan explained with courage, even though Tinari still looked like.

Make up...you continue to make up.

's attitude, but she couldn't give up explaining, right? She didn't want the blame to be put on her for no reason.

"I was just daydreaming and lost time. When the papers were collected, I realized I hadn't had time to fill them out yet, so I left a lot of questions blank."

"Whether Professor Tinari is willing to believe it or not, this result is indeed my true level. Of course, I will continue to work hard to reach a level that will satisfy Professor Tinari as soon as possible."

Wan Nan's words were so sincere that Tinari began to wonder if he had made a mistake, misunderstood Wan Nan. But he also felt that his analysis was completely correct.

In the end, Tinari decided to continue observing. Of course, he still didn't believe that 59 points was Wan Nan's true level. After all, this level was not enough to get into the Academy of Religious Orders.

Since you passed the exam, how could your level be only this low?

So it must be point control.

Wan Nan stood silently for the entire class. Although she was standing outside, she was actually listening to the class. At least she had to make sure she could pass the exam next time. However, the exam had just ended, and there was still some time before the next one.

After this period of preparation, and the fact that she was able to remember a lot before the exam, she should not fail the next exam. Wan Nan breathed a sigh of relief when she thought of this.

The bell for the end of get out of class had not rung yet, but most students knew that the get out of class was about to end. The instructors were packing up their textbooks, and the students were also packing up their things, preparing to leave the classroom as soon as possible.

Whether they want to reserve a seat in the library or go to a roadside snack stall, no student can resist the temptation of get out of class.

At this time, Wan Nan met an unexpected person.

Cole, she seemed a little restrained.

"Eh...? Hello, Master Tinari is here, right? Why are you standing outside?"

Cole seemed a little surprised, because in her impression, Tinari has always been a good-tempered person. Why would he leave her standing alone in the corridor?

"Yeah, he's in there, and get out of class's about to end. It's just my bad luck that I'm here."

Wan Nan scratched his head awkwardly, seemingly unwilling to explain, and secretly hid the failed test paper behind his back.

Wan Nan was actually quite surprised to see Ke Lai. She hadn't interacted with Ke Lai much, after all, she had been a Fatui last time, so Ke Lai had always been a little repulsive to her.

Wan Nan still remembered that when she first met Ke Lai, his eyes were full of hostility towards her. Now that they met again in a new identity, there was only tenderness and shyness on Ke Lai's face.

"I remember Master Tinari had a good temper. Did you do something to piss him off?"

Wan Nan was silent.

Oolong! This is just an oolong! She didn't control the score!

Seeing that Wan Nan didn't answer, Ke Lai didn't ask any more questions. After the bell rang, Ke Lai and Tinari left together.

"Master Tinari, did she make you angry?"

After walking away, Cole couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Well, she's quite smart, but her study attitude is not right. She tries to annoy me on every test. Last time she deliberately got 16 points, and this time she tried to get 60 points on purpose. But she got one question wrong and got 59 points, leaving the rest blank. I don't understand what she's thinking."

Tinari was quite helpless. He was usually fine, but something went wrong during every exam.

"Wow... there's something like that? I don't understand what she's trying to do. She's just like Frost and Snow. She knew it was poisonous, but she still insisted on eating poisonous mushrooms. She knew she shouldn't do it, but she still insisted on doing it."

Similar behaviors and personalities are all surprisingly stubborn.

"Yeah, come to think of it, they do look a bit alike. They're practically cut from the same mold, but their hair color is completely different."
