My fiancée Yukino

Liang sighed silently and nodded, saying, "I understand, I will study hard."

In order to be able to come here to study again next weekend, Liang knew that she couldn't continue to slack off and had to prepare for the exam properly.

As Luo Bai drove, he listened to the girls' conversation in the back and nodded with a smile, silently cheering them on.

Volume 1: Chapter 681 Midterm Exam (1/2)

On Tuesday, after not going to school on Monday and instead visiting Mai on set in Tokyo, Luo Bai finally returned to school today, fulfilling his promise to his homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, the day before the midterm exams.

Although the midterm exams were tomorrow, Luo Bai was not flustered at all. He sat calmly in the classroom and even took out his phone under the table to check the progress of the new base preparations at Chaldea.

At Chaldea, personnel and equipment have already been moved over, and the installation of equipment and various modifications are currently underway within the base.

Many of the devices are designed specifically for magic in the Type-Moon world. After arriving here, they will definitely need to be modified to adapt to the magical environment here.

However, due to the different power systems, the Chaldea personnel also need to learn some magic after arriving here, which can be considered an improvement.

Gudako and Mashu also went to help today. Although it's a bit far from Chiba, there's a teleportation array in the Chiba base, and they have permission to go to Chaldea, so it's quite convenient to get there.

Looking at the photos Gudako sent, Luo Bai thought that she and Mashu would probably be able to transfer to Soubu High School next week. The process at the base was quite fast.

As expected, Luo Bai was called to Hiratsuka Shizuka's office after the first class in the morning.

"sit down."

After Luo Bai arrived, Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed to a chair next to him and asked him to sit down.

"I heard you came back last week, why are you only coming to school today?"

"After returning last week, I went out for half a day again, and then yesterday I went to Tokyo to visit Mai on set. She's filming in Tokyo. I hadn't been there before, but I had to go yesterday."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, acknowledging Luo Bai's reasoning. She was also aware that Mai was currently filming a new movie.

"Midterm exams are tomorrow. You probably haven't been studying much lately, right? Are you confident?"

　Luo Bai shrugged and said, "Isn't that obvious, Mr. Hiratsuka? I've already mastered all the high school material. You don't need to worry about my grades. I guarantee I'll still be number one in the grade."

"Hmm, you're very confident. I'll look forward to it then. As for the results, we teachers will grade them directly after the exam tomorrow, and we'll know then. I hope you do your best." Seeing how confident Luo Bai was, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't bother to say anything more. She'd just have to wait and see the results.

"By the way, you probably won't be taking any more days off now, right?"

"Unless there are special circumstances, I probably won't be taking leave."

"That's good. It's almost time for class to start. Let's go back to the classroom."

Luo Bai nodded, then, seeing that no teachers were watching, took a cake box from his bracelet and placed it on Hiratsuka Shizuka's desk.

"Here you go, Professor Hiratsuka, this is a new cake. Share it with the other teachers in the office."

What a good thing!

Upon seeing that it was the trumpet lion cake that Luo Bai had brought out, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not refuse and happily thanked him.

After a leisurely day at school on Tuesday, Wednesday brought the midterm exams.

These small tests pose no pressure for Luo Bai, but they might be a different story for some other students in the school.

Especially for high school seniors preparing for college entrance exams, every exam before graduation is very stressful.

The midterm exams were a little better, but the final exams before summer vacation, which are said to be a joint exam for all high schools in the Kanto region, will rank all senior high school students in the Kanto region. That will be really stressful.

After finishing the two exams in the morning, Luo Bai and the girls went to the Service Department for lunch. Today, the Holy Emperor, Sima Miori, Kirishima Touka, and Tendo Kisara also came.

While eating her bento, Sima Miori looked at Luo Bai and Yukino with great confidence.

"I won't give up on getting first place in the grade in this midterm exam! I feel like I can get full marks in math and physics this morning!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Really? As for science, I don't think I'll lose points. What about Yukino?"

Yukino nodded: "Me too. This exam was pretty easy, and I should get full marks in all of them. It all depends on the three classes this afternoon."

Compared to them, the others wouldn't do too badly in the exams, but apart from the Holy Emperor, none of them had the ability to compete for first place in the grade.

Hoshino Ai took a sip of soup and said happily, "Hehe, the first-year exams weren't too difficult. I think I should get a good result this time! What about Sakura?"

After thinking for a moment, Sakura said, "The courses here aren't that different from the original ones. Although some of the knowledge points seem a bit difficult, I should be able to get an above-average score. Sister, you haven't said anything since you came in. Could it be that you didn't do well on the test?"

"Huh? Oh, no, not at all."

Rin, snapping out of her daze, shook her head. "I was just thinking about the last math problem. On the way here, I checked the answers with the Holy Emperor. I made a small mistake in the last step, so I probably won't get full marks, but the rest should be okay."

Looking around at the girls, Luo Bai smiled and said, "It seems like none of us here are bad at studying. But things might change when Gudako arrives next week; her grades will probably be a bit tough. As for Mashu, she's always been a serious person, so even if there are no expectations for their grades, she'll probably still study hard."

Yukino agreed, saying, "Now that the Chaldea mission is complete, Gudako seems to be letting loose. I just wonder what club she'll join after she comes to school. These past two days, she's asked us a lot of questions about clubs and also looked at the school's official website. I guess she's planning to fully experience campus life after she comes to school."

"Let her play if she wants to. As the savior master of Chaldea, what's wrong with her playing around? Even if she fails her exams and has to retake them or stay at school for extra lessons, she'll have to bear it all. There's no escaping it."

Given Gudako's personality, she probably won't study properly at first, and it'll only change after she fails her first time.

Luo Bai was also quite looking forward to seeing that scene.

After having lunch and resting for a while, everyone went back to their classrooms to prepare for the afternoon's exam.

I have three exams this afternoon, so the pressure will be a bit greater than in the morning. Today's club activities have also been canceled.

After the final English exam in the afternoon, the results for the two morning courses were also released. After packing his bag, Luo Bai went to the office to ask about his grades.

As expected, Yukino, Shima Miori, and herself all got full marks in math and physics, while Kirishima Touka also did very well, scoring in the nineties.

As for the three classes this afternoon, we'll know the results tomorrow morning.

Volume 1: Chapter 682 Mordred's Thoughts (2/2)

When I got home from school, Shinobu and the others, as well as Gudako and Mashu, were already back.

Yang Nai will need some time, and Shi Yu is taking her midterms today, so she doesn't plan to come over, but she has invited Mai to her house for dinner.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Artoria playing with the cat using a cat toy.

"Artoria, where are the Mordred people? Are they playing games in their rooms?"

Artoria gently swung the cat toy in her hand and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I've been in my room since lunch. I'm still playing with the Elden Ring. I said I plan to complete the game and get all the achievements before the DLC comes out."

"All achievements, huh? That's quite ambitious. Given the fact that Servants don't need much rest, she should be able to get started in just a few days. That being said, isn't this girl getting a little too obsessed?"

Games can be quite addictive, especially for someone like Mordred who didn't have much of a childhood and has never been exposed to modern games.

Although she doesn't have to study or work, being overly immersed in games isn't a good solution.

After going upstairs and knocking on the door to get Mordred's permission, Luo Bai opened the door and went inside.

The room was spotless. Mordred was sitting in front of the computer, but instead of playing games, she was browsing the web searching for walkthroughs.

Turning around, Mordred saw Luo Bai and said, "Ah, it's Master. Welcome back."

"Looking up travel guides?"

"Hmm, it seems I missed a side quest, so I want to see how to complete it first, and then do it again in my second playthrough. By the way, Master, is it possible to connect multiple monitors to the computer? If I only have one monitor, I have to switch to another screen if I need to check a guide, which is really inconvenient."

"You can also check using your phone."

"The phone screen is too small!"

Looking at Mordred's serious expression, Luo Bai felt that he was tending to raise Mordred to be a gamer otaku. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai still did not refuse Mordred's request. He took out his phone and called the computer store where he had previously purchased the equipment, asking the owner to arrange for two monitors to be delivered.

Just as Luo Bai was about to end the call, Mordred grabbed Luo Bai's sleeve and whispered, "Give me a microphone and a camera too!"

"kindness?"

Luo Bai glanced at Mordred unexpectedly, then told the shop owner about his requirements before hanging up the phone.

"So, what do you need a camera and microphone for? Do you want to do live streaming?"

Mordred moved the mouse, opened the YouTube live stream, and pointed to the top of it.

A game streamer said in his live stream: "I saw this when I was looking up guides. It seems like live streaming is really interesting. You can interact with people and make money, so I want to give it a try. So, can I give it a go?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "It's not impossible, but doing live streaming is not like playing games on your own. You can't curse or anything in the live stream, understand? Also, you can't reveal your identity as a Heroic Spirit. If you can agree to these two points, I'll let you do live streaming, and I can also find some resources to give you more exposure on live streaming websites."

"no problem!"

Mordred patted his chest confidently, "I agree. A mere live stream is a piece of cake for me!"

"Okay, then it's settled for now. But it's getting late. You've had fun all afternoon, so go downstairs now."

"Okay, okay~~"

Having obtained the equipment she wanted, Mordred obediently followed Luo Bai out of the room.

However, after seeing Luo Bai go to his room to change clothes, she did not choose to go downstairs, but followed him to Luo Bai's side.

After bringing out the clothes, Luo Bai looked at Mordred, who had followed him into the room, and asked with a smile, "What, you want to see me change clothes?"

"Tch, what's so interesting about changing clothes? I'm just curious." Lying casually on the bed, Mordred said, "Master, do you have inexhaustible energy? Several people every night, don't you get tired? I saw Father was quite tired when he got up in the morning, and you know she's a Heroic Spirit."

"...Why are you still paying attention to this?"

After glancing at Mordred, Luo Bai immediately took off his school uniform jacket, changed into his regular clothes, and then took off his pants as well.

Since Mordred doesn't care, what's there for a grown man like me to be ashamed of?

While changing his clothes, Luo Bai said, "Do you think I'm an ordinary person? In terms of physical fitness, I'm not inferior to you heroic spirits, not to mention that I'm still improving and my strength will increase even more in the future. And you should know that I haven't even used any magic that strengthens or restores energy yet; I'm just relying on my own physical fitness."

Mordred looked at Luo Bai as he changed his clothes, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Is this kind of thing really that comfortable?"

"That's for sure, but more importantly, you need to be with someone you like to have a deeper feeling."

After changing her clothes, Luo Bai came to the bedside, pulled Mordred up, and gently patted her head.

"As for you, don't think about these things for no reason. Just live your life peacefully. However, we may assign you some tasks in the future, such as patrolling Chiba and handling some special incidents. You may have to go on business trips occasionally, so be prepared."

Seeing that Luo Bai treated him like a child, Mordred slapped his hand away in annoyance.

"I understand. I can easily handle this kind of small matter. Anyway, there won't be any enemies that are too strong to defeat."

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "That's true. Let's go then, it's time to go down."

After going downstairs, Luo Bai told everyone about Mordred's desire to become a game streamer.

Artoria looked at Mordred in surprise: "I see. It could be a career, but once you've decided, don't give up easily."

"Hmph, who do you think I am? Of course I won't give up!"

Mordred sat on the sofa, looking confident, and said, "I will definitely become a famous game streamer!"

That being said, Luo Bai always felt that, given Mordred's gaming skills and her tendency to easily lose her composure while playing, she was more likely to become a comedic streamer in the end.

After dinner, the monitor, microphone, and camera Mordred requested arrived.

Holding a bunch of things in her arms, Mordred immediately went upstairs happily.

Luo Bai exchanged a glance with Artoria and said with a smile, "Looks like you're really starting to become a homebody."

Volume 1: Chapter 683 Little Mo, you didn't want this either... (1/2)

After playing with Xia Shi and Tina downstairs for a while, Luo Bai went upstairs and came to Mordred's side.

Mordred has already expertly installed the new monitor, microphone, and camera, and is currently testing the equipment.

Seeing Luo Bai enter, he waved happily and said, "Master, come quickly and see what you think of this camera!"

He even patted the chair next to him.

After Luo Bai sat down, he looked at the image captured by the camera on the screen. The image was very clear. He nodded and said, "Not bad, considering the price."

On the screen, Luo Bai and Mordred sat side by side, the small screen just big enough to fit the two of them.

Looking at her own screen, Mordred glanced down at her casual pajamas and asked, "So, if I'm going to do a live stream, is it inappropriate to dress like this?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have to dress formally, but at least something casual. You still don't have enough clothes. Go out and buy some more when you have some free time these days. Um, when you're doing a live stream, don't always wear anything too revealing."

"Oh, really?"

Mordred looked at Luo Bai with interest, raised her hand and poked the other's cheek, "Master, is it because I look exactly like my father that you feel a little uncomfortable seeing me dressed like this?"

Grabbing the finger poking her cheek to prevent Mordred from pulling away, Luo Bai looked at her and said, "That's not it. It's mainly because I don't want you to get warned by the platform because of clothing or anything like that. As for whether it's suitable or not, I can still easily tell the difference between you and Artoria. Although you're both cute, the differences are quite obvious."
