Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, just as Director Pa was about to impatiently announce that Rui Bu Si had failed the exam, his gaze shifted, and as if he were hallucinating from exhaustion, he watched as the magic egg slowly shattered.

Succeeded?

I pinched Da Tian Tian's cheeks.

"Pah~," the person who was pinched said coyly, "Why did you suddenly pinch me~"

Okay, it's not a hallucination.

But he didn't see this classmate using a driving test.

He didn't see the classmate cheating at all. He just leaned in and said a couple of words, and then the magic egg... cracked open.

Picking up the broken demon eggshell, the demon bird inside had just hatched and poked its head out. Director Pa looked it over from all angles but couldn't see anything wrong with it.

If I had to say something, it seems to be somewhat different from those whose shells break due to being rolled up.

What's wrong with this magic egg today?

"You barely pass." Director Pa glared at Rui Bu Si, whose face was full of obedience, and warned, "You can't use such opportunistic methods again next time!"

What? The exam only said it would test on magic eggs, it didn't say you had to use a scroll to get them...

Despite her thoughts, she obediently agreed and made a face after Director Pa turned and left.

The other person turned around sharply, narrowed their eyes, and saw that she was still obedient and innocent.

Walking back to Ginny Sapphire, Rabbi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That was close; she almost got caught doing something sneaky. Luckily, she's experienced.

[Congratulations, host, you barely passed the new student advancement exam. There is no reward for completing the task. Please try your best next time and strive to complete the task even more perfectly.]

Why did my mood suddenly turn sour after hearing those words, and I even felt like punching someone?

The fist is hard.

Encouraged by his two friends, Lanbao mustered up the courage to enter the examination room.

There should have been three friends at this time, but Ya Ya was unable to get out of bed.

Rui Bu Si called out three times early in the morning, and finally the other party promised to arrive in time for their turn to play.

Promises are often worthless, especially when someone makes a promise to get up on time before they're fully awake.

Clearly, Ya Ya was already too late for the final match.

Lan Bao walked onto the exam platform. Rui Bu Si looked at his worryingly low test output and, after observing, rationally analyzed the situation—

The only freshman who might be able to pass the advancement exam is himself.

Five seconds later... Forget it, she shouldn't overthink these kinds of things in the future.

It appeared out of nowhere, drifting past her with a gust of wind, and stopped next to Lan Bao. Startled, Lan Bao frantically unleashed her speed-enhancing spells.

And then—the magic egg shattered?

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't expect that Lanbao would have this potential after being frightened.

Just as Lan Bao was feeling happy about passing the exam, she suddenly felt a familiar chill run down her spine. Turning around, she met Rui Bu Si's sinister smile. So...so scary...

I feel like I'm going to be dragged somewhere to do hard labor any second now.

If more than one person passes the advancement exam, the person who completes the exam in the shortest time usually receives the final reward.

However, since Ruibusi did not pass the exam using a scroll, the winner was Lanbao, who took longer.

Hmm, I just came to a conclusion, but something feels off. I secretly grumble to myself, it seems the exam rules don't say that you have to use a test paper.

However, theoretically, only the Scroll of Speed ​​can break the Demon Egg, and making the Scroll of Speed ​​one of the hidden test points is a key point in the exam.

"Hey," he nudged Da Tian Tian quietly, "Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to just award the prize to Lan Bao like this?"

"Pfft~" The person who was poked blushed and bumped into him. "What's wrong with it~"

He almost fell off the stage from the impact. With everyone watching, he slipped and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment at nearly falling. The students below were very considerate and pretended not to have seen anything.

"The only requirement for the exam is to break the magic egg; according to the standards, it seems more suitable to give it to Ruibusi."

"Pah~, what you said makes so much sense~~, I'm really starting to admire you more and more~~~"

“But I just warned Rui Bu Si not to take shortcuts, so giving her the award now doesn’t seem quite right.”

"That seems to make sense, so what should we do, Pa~"

"...I was the one asking you the question, so why are you asking me what to do now?"

"Ahem," he tapped his pointer, signaling the whispering students below to stop talking.

He pushed Da Tiantian, who was clinging to him, aside and made a decision:

"After discussing with Head Nurse Da Tiantian, I announce that the winners of this exam prize are Rui Busi and Lan Bao."

However, since there is only one "Wish-Fulfilling Stick" as the exam prize, the two students can discuss and make a shared wish.

May all your wishes come true?

What does she need that toy for entertaining children for?

He can't even conjure up a pile of gold coins; he's a complete waste.

“Rui, Rui Bu Si…”

Just as Lan Bao was about to discuss the wish-granting stick, she saw her wave her hand:

"Go ahead and get it. We're good friends anyway, it doesn't matter who gets it."

"Thank you so much, Rui Busi. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me!"

That's great! There's hope for my brother's health!

"Okay." She wouldn't stand on ceremony.

Seeing Lan Bao walking excitedly towards the stage, and just as she was wondering what other use Lan Bao's magic could have, a dark shadow suddenly fell down in front of her.

Normally, in this situation, she would just watch it fall without giving it a second glance.

But she was thinking about something.

So he caught it quickly, but was knocked to the ground by the fall.

"Boom-"

"Ow—"

It was the sound of the back of the head hitting the ground, followed by a scream after the head hit the ground.

A commotion erupted around them. Under Director Pa's direction, Ginny, who had suddenly fainted, was carried into the infirmary by several classmates. Rui Bosi, who was also implicated, was also helped into the infirmary by her classmates.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she leaned on her classmate almost the entire way.

"Thank you."

After my head cleared up, I looked at this classmate and realized how thin and frail she looked. It must have been really hard to help her into the infirmary.

She'll check if there's any candy in Ya Ya's cupboard when she gets back, and give this classmate a few pieces another day to express her gratitude.

Well, I might even get a thank you from this student and complete part of the task.

Hey, that's a great idea!

If she takes out a few more snacks and distributes them around, she might be able to complete the task.

"It's okay," Rui Rui said, not quite understanding why Rui Bu Si's eyes suddenly lit up. She helped Rui Bu Si sit up on the bed. "Helping you over here was a little light—but not so easy, haha."

Under the other person's questioning gaze, Rui Rui stiffly raised her hand and rubbed it haphazardly: "Well, you should rest well. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll go first."

How strange.

She vaguely remembered this classmate; her name was "Rui Rui," and her magical ability was divination.

Huh? Speaking of which, although I often see Rui Rui doing divination, I never seem to feel the flow of the divination scroll...

"oops!"

A gasp snapped her out of her reverie. Her gaze shifted to Kenny, where Head Nurse Big Sweetie was holding the equipment and exclaiming in amazement:

"How could his scroll have only been reduced to such a small amount!"
