"Everyone, let's disperse for now. We still have to interview Hasegawa and the others."

The press officers arrived just in time to defuse the awkward situation.

The surrounding crowd walked away.

We arrived at the interview room.

"That was a fantastic match, Hasegawa-kun!"

Shizuku Asahi first expressed her praise, then asked, "After defeating Shinomiya-kun, this 'path to becoming king' has come to an end. Now you are the undisputed king of Shuchiin. Is there anything else you would like to say?"

Why does it look like an awards ceremony?

After thinking for a moment, Izumi Hasegawa said, "Actually, I didn't come here with that in mind, but by some twist of fate, we got a pretty good result. However, besides me, I also hope that everyone will pay more attention to the other members of the Far East Magic Society."

Having already given too many interviews, he handed over the main focus to others this time.

"Well then, first up is our vice minister, Takanashi."

Shizuku Asahi handed over the microphone.

Rikka Takanashi straightened up and said, "First of all, I want to thank the Sage for charging into battle and making selfless contributions. You've worked hard! Secondly, I want to make it clear to everyone that the Evil King's Eye is the strongest! Even without the Sage's help, we can still defeat the enemy decisively."

The three people in the news department remained silent.

It's as if you didn't even test the waters.

Although it was a good performance, that was probably the limit!

The microphone was handed over to Sanae Tokomori.

"That's right, Master is right! Although the Sage is very powerful, we also contributed to the Death. For example, in that basketball challenge before, we scored a total of 100 points! We were absolutely crushing Death!"

Even the silly girl with twin tails started to take credit.

Dan Shengtani Morika: .......

How dare you say that!

She truly lives up to her reputation as a girl obsessed with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Hey, this seems like an opportunity?

"Uh-huh..."

She cleared her throat, preparing some lines to 'clear her name,' not to say that she was keeping her distance from the people in the gang, but to show that her thinking was on the same wavelength as normal people.

However, her plan fell through before it even began.

"Shut up, you imposter Morisummer! Don't even think about spreading evil ideas and changing people's cognitive abilities at this time! I've already seen through your thoughts!"

Suddenly, Sanae Tokomori pounced on her, covering her mouth with both hands, so that she could only make 'mmmmm' sounds.

"Hey, we can't start a fight here!"

"Don't fight again!"

Erika Kose and Karen Ki went to mediate between the two.

Shizuku Asahi then changed the interviewee to the last member of the club.

Just then, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Xia Chuanzhen's face, giving Xia Chuanzhen goosebumps.

"As a member who just joined yesterday, I, Natsukawa Masuzu, wish the Far East Magic Society all the best. Also, let me reveal a little secret: my purpose in joining was simply because I admire Hasegawa-kun. From now on, I will work hard to make sure that his gaze lingers on me for a longer time~!"

The other members of the club didn't take this seriously, but it caused a huge uproar at the school.

This is a declaration of war!

"Does Natsukawa-san already have someone she likes?"

"It's still that same Hasegawa. Looks like I'm out of luck."

"Who is he saying this to? Could it be Sawamura-kun?"

"Gentlemen, I love war, the battlefield of carnage!"

One of the members of the anime club realized that there was real fun in this.

"That Xia Chuan is... another vixen!"

Eriri's face darkened as she listened to the broadcast, the image of that silver-haired figure flashing through her mind, and she became furious.

It feels like I've had a run of bad luck ever since I started high school!

How did that idiot suddenly become so popular?

……

What happens today will be talked about with great interest in the future.

However, the atmosphere at the Far East Magic Society, which had accomplished this task, plummeted to freezing point just one day later on Friday.

"What, still no one's coming?"

Izumi Hasegawa lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head.

"We were already standing high in the sky, yet it was death!"

"Is it really that hard to eliminate the fear in people's hearts? Or is it the Bureau of Management's covert interference...?"

Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori stretched out their hands and pressed their faces against the square table, completely lost in a state of dejection.

The Far East Magic Society only has one good-for-nothing. Who do you think it is?

Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

Oh, so it's a mess!

However, there are still differences compared to before. For example, when Izumi Hasegawa was in school, many people would greet him with respect, which made him feel a little uncomfortable with the current environment at Shuchiin.

The weak can only adapt to their environment, but he, the strong, accomplished the seemingly impossible task of changing his environment.

While the three of them were feeling down, the other two were in a completely different state.

Natsukawa Masaki coldly watched all of this without uttering a single word.

For her, it was easy to find ways to recruit people and guide them through Hasegawa's review process.

However, that would be far too chaotic.

She came here only to avoid danger, and if she attracted some shady characters, it would only cause her trouble.

"Huh? Dansheng Valley, are you reviewing?"

Natsukawa Masaki's gaze suddenly fell on Nibutani Morikawa, who was writing furiously beside her.

"That's right. After all, Shuchiin's deviation value is a bit high. If you're not careful, you'll be surpassed by others. I'm not a genius, so I can only work harder."

There was no need for Tanyu Mori Natsumi to hide anything, so she spoke directly.

"There's no need to review at all. Just working hard normally is enough."

Sanae Tokomori waved her hand dismissively.

"You seem pretty confident, you brat?"

Nibutani Morika's expression was one of disgust.

"Hehehe, hehehehe..."

After a burst of wild laughter.

Sanae Dekomori then confidently declared, "My grades have consistently ranked third in the grade, especially in math. I've already self-studied the entire junior high curriculum!"

"You, you little brat? Impossible!"

Nishikawa Morika's face was filled with disbelief.

"I'll test you..."

"It's very simple, the answer to this question is..."

The other party quickly passed her test.

"This must be beyond the comprehension of the fake morisummer!"

Sanae Tokomori stood up triumphantly and pointed at the other person's nose.

Damn it, she actually tricked me!

"Hasegawa, how are your grades? What was your ranking in the entrance exam?"

Nissouya Mori Natsu suddenly wanted to confirm something, so she turned around and asked.

"I forgot."

Hasegawa Izumi herself didn't care about such a thing at all.

Although there is no answer, it must be quite strong.

Everyone else was thinking the same thing at that moment.

Where is Natsukawa-kun?

She asked again.

"I think I was fifth? My performance was a bit poor."

With a light touch of her finger to her thin, cherry-red lips, Natsukawa Masuzu blinked, her innocent and adorable gesture making her even more captivating.

"What, are they all better than me?"

Dansheng Valley Senxia gasped.

and many more!

It seems that someone has disappeared from the moment we left until now.

"Takashi, how are your grades?"

Instantly, all four gazes fell upon one person.

"Uh, hehehe."

Rikka Takanashi scratched her head and gave an awkward smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Great! So Takanashi's grades are this much worse than mine. Now, our Far East Magic Club only has one good-for-nothing left!"

Upon hearing about the other party's impressive results, Nissougu Senxia immediately smiled happily.

It's not the best, but it's more than enough compared to the worst!

"I'm not a loser..."

Rikka Takanashi, on the other hand, looked unhappy.

"Shut up, you imposter Morisummer! Master just wasn't focusing on the exams, otherwise he could easily reach Death!"

These words displeased Sanae Tokomori, who rebuked him repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, why are Takanashi's grades so bad? Could it be that you're also from a wealthy family, Takanashi!"

Nibutani Morika ignored Dekomori and his expression as he looked at Takanashi suddenly changed.

To enter Shuchiin, one either needed excellent grades and outstanding abilities to be admitted as a student in the mixed college, or one needed to be from a wealthy family and gain admission through recommendation letters or by using connections, or one could have been a student at Shuchiin since childhood.

"No, it was Dekomori who recommended me."

Rikka Takanashi pursed her lips and immediately gave her answer.

"Because this is where Master can really show his skills, I asked my father to use his 'money power' to kill me."

Misaki Toki nodded.

Damn it, she tricked me again!

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful.

Excellent grades and a great family background—he's clearly a top-tier socialite! And you still call yourself a delusional teenager?

"What should I do, Sage, the exam is next week."

Rikka Takanashi turned her gaze to the person she trusted most.

"What else can we do? Tutoring and reviewing, thankfully it's just a midterm exam. If it were the final exam, it would be terrible."
