Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

To be honest, during this period of time, the rise of the band, the dealings with various forces, the "business wars" full of calculations and conspiracies...all kinds of experiences full of the "adult world" have almost made him forget

——Right now, she is just an ordinary (?) high school girl who has to worry about her final exams.

When he thought of the promise he had made to appease Xiangzi, namely "getting admitted to the University of Tokyo", Kujo Renji couldn't help but feel guilty.

When it comes to learning, you will lose it if you don’t use it.

Even though he possesses a mind and comprehension ability far beyond that of an ordinary person, it is still difficult for him to achieve a sufficiently outstanding result in the final exam of an elite private girls' school like Yuqiu when most of his energy is not focused on his studies.

You can't... really fail the test and make Xiangzi laugh at you, right?

As for how to solve this "problem", talent is indispensable.

The success I, Jiujo Liansi, achieved in my previous life was all due to my extraordinary talent.

Original sin system, add points!

[Exchange for a "temporary learning efficiency boost" buff, which lasts for 72 hours.]

[Confirm the exchange? Required Sin Points: 2.]

【confirm. 】

As the points were deducted, a refreshing feeling instantly flooded into my brain, and my thoughts, which had been a little chaotic due to various affairs, became unusually clear and focused.

Memory, comprehension, logical analysis ability...all seem to have been significantly improved in a short period of time.

Great, cramming mode, activated!

Fortunately, "Toyokawa Shoko" originally had a very good foundation. In addition, in order to maintain his character, he also spent some time on studying intermittently. With the blessing of Buff, reviewing was more efficient.

After just two or three days of intensive study during the breaks between rehearsals and at night, he felt that he had already mastered most of the knowledge points for this semester.

Those formulas, difficult classical texts, and complicated historical events that originally seemed a bit awkward now became clear and organized in his eyes.

After a long time, he remembered to check his own "property panel".

Although this "system" is useless, occasionally looking at the panel can still give him a general understanding of his current status.

【Character: Toyokawa Shoko】

【Toyokawa Shoko Character Attribute Panel】

[Strength: 7 (average level of an average adult male)]

[Agility: 7 (slightly higher than ordinary people)]

[Endurance: 6 (slightly lower than the average level of ordinary people, but higher than women of the same age)]

Intelligence: 7.5 (Excellent, strong learning ability)

Charm: 9.3 (very attractive, easily gaining others' favor and trust)

Special Skills:

【Piano Performance ★★★★☆ (Close to professional performer level)】

[Working Master: You can reduce the impact on your stamina when working multiple jobs at the same time (seems useless?)]

Firearms Mastery: ★★★☆☆☆☆ (Proficient in the use and basic maintenance of various firearms, with decent combat experience)

Negotiation Skill: ★★☆☆☆

[Special Effect: Enhances the clarity and accuracy of language expression, suitable for daily conversations and simple negotiations. Due to the charm bonus of the individual "Toyokawa Shoko", it can achieve a certain degree of charm effect.]

Huh? It seems that as the degree of fusion with Xiangzi's soul increases, the effectiveness of this skill also increases?

Just when I was thinking about this

"You... the way you study is really enviable."

In my mind, Toyokawa Shoko's voice carries a hint of complex emotion.

"I didn't spend any time on it, but how come I was able to master all the knowledge so quickly right before the exam... It's really... unfair."

She was no longer surprised by Kujo Renji's "unusual" learning ability, but every time she saw it, she couldn't help but feel envious.

Kujo Renji ignored her sigh. For him, this level of last-minute cramming was commonplace.

Time quickly came to the day of the final exam.

In the quiet examination room, the only sound was the rustling of pens scratching across paper.

Kujo Renji sat by the window, reviewing the questions on the test paper with a focused expression.

Thanks to his thorough review and the help of Buff, the questions on the test paper were not too difficult for him. He wrote with ease, his thoughts clear, and he could easily recall various formulas, theorems, and knowledge points.

In just less than half the time, he had finished answering all the questions and even had some spare time to check them again.

Well, it seems...this final exam should be...safe?

.

The smoke of the written final exam had just cleared, and another equally important assessment - the physical test - followed.

Physical education tests in Japanese high schools are usually more diverse, including not only traditional running, jumping and throwing, but also some projects that test flexibility, coordination and instantaneous power.

However, for Kujo Renji, this test, in a sense, gives him more "confidence" than the written test.

After all, since he took over this body, he has never relaxed the training of this "body".

Whether it was her unwavering morning long runs, strength training, or the occasional... well... more practical combat training, all of these had elevated Toyokawa Shoko's physical fitness from its original base level. Coupled with the steadily increasing values ​​on the "System" attribute panel...

Today's "Toyokawa Shoko" is no longer the weak and even frail young lady.

Her strength, agility, and endurance have all reached a fairly good level, even surpassing that of ordinary men of the same age.

On the day of the test, the weather was clear and the breeze was not dry.

On the spacious playground of Hanaoka Girls' Academy, girls in uniform sportswear were scattered at various testing points according to their classes.

The air was filled with the energy of youth, mixed with the chattering of girls and the occasional sound of a starting gun.

　It was the turn of Kujo Renji's class to take the test.

He took off his coat, revealing a tight sports vest and shorts underneath. Although his figure was not as exaggerated as that of a professional athlete, it was well-proportioned and full of explosive power, forming a strange contrast with her cold and delicate face.

In almost every test item, Kujo Renji demonstrated physical fitness and athletic ability that far exceeded that of ordinary female high school students, and could even be said to be quite outstanding!

In addition, "Toyokawa Shoko" is like a "high-ranking flower" in the school, with extremely high popularity and attention...

Soon, some subtle changes began to take place.

It was fine at the beginning, except for one or two brave girls who pretended to rest or stretch on the side and secretly cast their eyes on "Ms. Toyokawa" who was undergoing the test.

But as Kujo Renji continued to set new records for "excellence" in test after test, her smooth, powerful, and beautiful movements, and her focused, serious, and somewhat abstinent profile during the tests...

The amount of attention attracted began to grow exponentially!

Gradually, the teachers in charge of other projects had to start maintaining order, because more and more girls began to gather intentionally or unintentionally near the testing area where Kujo Renji was, pretending to be queuing or watching, but in fact their eyes were glued to the figure with blue hair and twin tails.

Whispers rose and fell:

"Wow... Toyokawa-san is amazing! He runs so fast!"

"Not only does she run, look at her long jump! It's like she's flying!"

"His grip strength is also amazing! That number just now was higher than our class sports committee member, right?"

"Wow, not only is she good-looking and has good grades, she's also so good at sports... How can I survive this!"

"And...do you think...Shoko-sama is particularly handsome today?"

"Yeah, yeah! That's the kind of... cool and awesome feeling! Especially the lines on her arms when she was measuring her grip strength just now... ah, I can't take it anymore..."

"Look, look! She's going to test her hopscotch! This move is great for showing off her agility!"

"Oh my God, Master Xiangzi."

The girls' discussions became louder and louder, their eyes became more and more passionate, and even... a few of the bravest ones secretly took out their mobile phones and quietly pressed the shutter button at Kujo Renji who was conducting the test, wanting to keep this rare and "heroic" figure of Lord Xiangzi forever.

Kujo Renji naturally also noticed the increasingly "high" popularity around him, as well as those undisguised gazes full of amazement and...some strange "crazy" emotions.

He didn't feel anything special about it.

However...it seems that there is no harm in doing a little "business" to consolidate the "special status" of "Toyokawa Shoko" in this school?

Coincidentally, the last endurance run was over.

He adjusted his breathing, slowly walked to the rest area on the sidelines, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

At this moment, he seemed to glance casually in the direction of the "onlookers" who were secretly looking at him and even holding their mobile phones.

Then, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his cold face, which was slightly red and covered with sweat due to exercise.

Then he turned his head slightly, looked in that direction, and blinked his right eye gently.

A perfect wink.

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it instantly caused a thousand waves!

"——!!!"

From the group of girls watching, there suddenly erupted an uncontrollable burst of inhalations and... nearly fainting screams!

"Ahhhhhh! Master Xiangzi winked at me!!"

"Oh my god! I saw it! She smiled at me! And she winked!"

"No, no! I'm going to die!"

"Who took this photo?! Quick! Send it to me!!!"

The scene immediately fell into a small commotion and chaos. The teacher in charge of maintaining order had to shout loudly again before the group of girls who were collectively "killed" because of a wink could be barely calmed down.

Well, the effect is outstanding.

It seems that the lethality of "Toyokawa Shoko"'s face, coupled with a little bit of the deliberate "su" feeling belonging to "Kujo Renji", is simply a dimensionality reduction attack for these young girls who are just beginning to fall in love.

"Don't do these things with my body!!"

Miss Toyokawa Shoko was furious.

........

The early morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and gently falls into Chihaya Aine's room.

The alarm clock rang dutifully, waking up the girl who was still immersed in a sweet dream.

"Well..."

Aiyin reached out her hand dazedly, fumbled on the bedside table, and turned off the noisy alarm clock.

She stayed in bed, rolled around twice, and then reluctantly got up. With her messy pink hair, she walked towards the bathroom with sleepy eyes.

After washing up, changing into the refreshing summer uniform of Yugaoka Girls' Academy, carefully styling her hair in front of the mirror, and applying a little bit of lip balm to enhance her complexion... After a series of steps, the image of the energetic and vibrant girl in the mirror gradually became clear.

She looked at herself in the mirror, clenched her fists, and showed her signature canine smile.

Breakfast was a sandwich and milk prepared by her mother, which she ate quickly, then put on her backpack filled with textbooks and a little cosmetics, and then hung on her favorite guitar bag which was full of various cute pendants.

Although there is no band practice today, carrying a guitar bag seems to better highlight her identity as a "band member"?

The energetic girl Chihaya Aine officially started her new day of school life.

The campus of Hanegaoka Girls' Academy is always bustling with activity. Walking down the tree-lined avenue, you'll often see girls in Hanegaoka uniforms walking in groups of two or three, chattering about last night's TV series, new cosmetics, or a new song from a boy band.

——Hyori, discussions about girl bands are always very popular.

Aiyin greeted the classmates she met in a familiar manner. Her morning classes were still packed.

In Chinese class, the staid teacher explained difficult classical Chinese texts, and in math class, the complex formulas made her sleepy. English, however, was her strong point, and she was praised by the teacher for her enthusiastic responses...

During the break, I got together with a few girls I was close to, sharing each other's little secrets and gossip, and bursting into laughter from time to time.

Just after the first class in the afternoon, Eri suddenly approached Aine mysteriously.

“Aine, Aine…”

Eri lowered her voice, a mysterious expression on her face that was a mixture of excitement and a little bit of embarrassment.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Aine looked at her curiously.

Eri looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then she leaned close to Aine's ear and whispered:

"Have you heard? Lately... a lot of girls in our school have been talking about Toyokawa-san!"

"Eh? Xiaoxiang?" Aiyin was stunned for a moment. "What are you discussing about her?"
