Izumi Hasegawa gave the answer without hesitation.

Takanashi Rikka looked like she was about to cry, muttering to herself, "But the laws of physics in this world are still too difficult for me to understand."

A weekend has passed in the blink of an eye.

The day of the exam arrived.

"I'm so nervous. I wonder what rank I'll get this time. Izumi-chan and Takanashi-san, aren't you nervous too?"

Fujiwara Chika, holding a notebook with notes in her hand, approached the two seeking comfort.

"Of course, how could a mere exam in the mortal realm possibly stump me?"

Hasegawa Izumi looked disdainful and said it with complete ease.

For him in the past, such an exam might have been a bit difficult, but now...

All I can say is that he has already figured out the secrets of the runes.

"But, if the Evil King's True Eye were to display its power..."

Rikka Takanashi covered her eyes with one hand, slightly embarrassed.

Then, when the supervising teacher entered the examination room, everyone began the exam.

"The answer to this question should be... well, if there are three long and one short, choose the shortest; if there are three short and one long, choose the longest; if the lengths are not equal, choose B; if they are not evenly matched, choose D."

Soon after, he heard Rikka's mutterings.

Then, he glanced down at the multiple-choice questions and remained silent for a long time.

It seems Rikka forgot to cast a lucky charm on herself.

Thursday.

"The results are out! Everyone come down and check!"

Someone outside shouted something, drawing everyone's attention.

At Shuchiin Academy, academic performance was a reflection of a person's status, so many people paid special attention to it, and the corridor where the bulletin board was located was soon packed with people.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way."

Hasegawa Izumi arrived with Rikka, and upon hearing his voice, the crowd kindly made way for him.

At the same time, Kaguya Shinomiya arrived on the other side, and their gazes met in the air.

63. Everyone, listen to my analysis, this must be a trap!

Almost at the same moment, the two looked up at the bulletin board.

Because Shuchiin Academy places great importance on academic performance, the rankings display the names of all students in the same grade.

First, Izumi Hasegawa.

Second, Kaguya Shinomiya.

Third, Shijo Maki.

Fourth, Natsukawa is really cool.

……

There's no need to search through a large number of names; his name appears from the very first one.

"Shinomiya, you're pretty good, just a little bit worse than me."

Hasegawa Izumi turned to Shinomiya Kaguya and praised her.

After all, with his current level, he can almost score as many points as he wants, and he has complete control over his score.

Once he decides to take first place, no one else can surpass him.

"I've lost to you again. Whether it's archery or studying, you've made me admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Kaguya Shinomiya maintained a smile on the surface, but inside she was so unwilling that she was about to vomit blood.

That damned genius!

She realized for the first time the devastating effect of overwhelming talent.

"Now that I know the rankings, I'll take my leave."

As she turned away from the crowd, the girl's composed expression crumbled instantly, and she even staggered, nearly taking a spectacular fall.

"Rikka, have you found your ranking yet?"

At this moment, Izumi Hasegawa's attention shifted to her ally, whom she had already observed repeatedly.

"Well, I found it."

Rikka Takanashi looked to one side and nodded.

This performance is clearly not very good.

So, how much exactly?

He looked through the rankings and finally saw Rikka's name among the last few names.

Furthermore, there was something even more terrifying: there were several students with the surname Nakano behind them, who appeared to be quintuplets, one of whom was a classmate he had interacted with before.

Good fellow, I'll call you good fellow.

"Those who are not family will not enter the same door" is a saying.

On the way back to the classroom.

"Rikka, you need to pay attention to your studies during this period. If you fail the final exam, you'll be in trouble."

Hasegawa Izumi walked forward with her hands in her pockets.

At Shuchiin Academy, a score below half the average is considered a failing grade, with no remedial measures such as tutoring. For each subject, failing twice results in no credits, and failing to obtain credits for compulsory subjects inevitably leads to repeating the year.

"Don't worry, Sage, the True Eye of the Evil King will not fall here; he will definitely reach that place!"

Rikka Takanashi clenched her fist and made a promise.

That night.

Rikka Takanashi returned home and watched TV for a while when the door suddenly opened.

"who is it?"

She looked flustered, sat on the sofa, and waved her hands in a defensive gesture.

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's me."

The person who spoke entered.

This is a beauty who looks somewhat similar to Rikka, with black hair and red eyes. The collar around her neck and her expressionless face combine to create a cold and aloof aura. In addition, she also has a conspicuous tuft of hair as an embellishment.

She is Takanashi Touka, Rikka's older sister, and currently a chef at a high-end restaurant. She usually makes her younger sister's bento boxes.

"Holy Healer, why are you back so early today?"

Rikka Takanashi's expression was one of surprise.

Because of work, Shihua usually comes home quite late.

"Of course it's because of you."

Shika's icy gaze fell upon her younger sister, causing the latter's expression to gradually become unnatural.

After dinner.

"Let me see your test paper."

Shi Hua urged.

Due to the pressure of survival, Rikka Takanashi had no choice but to take out all her exam papers from her schoolbag.

Shi Hua flipped through the pages one by one. Her grades in other subjects were also okay, but she finally couldn't hold back when she saw the math test paper with only 2 points.

"How could this test be conducted like this? Even if you just guessed on the multiple-choice questions, you might not be able to answer them correctly, right?"

She laughed in anger.

Rikka Takanashi can only choose to remain silent.

There is nothing I can do!

It's just bad luck for a while.

"Hey, forget it."

Shika finally just sighed, then changed the subject, "I've already heard from the teacher that you and that group of unknown people were causing a lot of trouble at Shuchiin... Well, you're quite capable."

"It is all thanks to the wise leadership of the Sage that our Far East Magic Society has been able to overcome all obstacles and stand out from the crowd! We have now formed an unbreakable alliance!"

However, her younger sister didn't catch her sarcasm and instead became lively again.

Shihua remained silent for a while before her slightly cold voice rang out again.

"I'm planning to invite your friends out for dinner this weekend. Could you please ask for their opinions?"

Friday, Far East Magic Society.

"...In conclusion, what are everyone's thoughts?"

Rikka Takanashi sat at the square table and recounted what had happened the previous night.

After careful consideration, Izumi Hasegawa spoke.

"Everyone, let me analyze this carefully. Based on my judgment, this should be a 'Feast at Hongmen'!"

The girls all looked at him with puzzled expressions, as if waiting for his explanation.

Actually, the study of classical Chinese literature includes a lesson on the "Feast at Hongmen," but they haven't learned it yet, so they don't know about it.

"Actually, the story goes like this..."

So he simply acted as a teacher and shared the story with everyone.

"I see."

After listening, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"So, the Holy Healer's goal was to lure us over there, then take advantage of our carelessness and wipe us all out!"

When Sanae Tokomori thought about this, she suddenly felt a cold sweat trickling down her back.

"This is truly vicious! Fortunately, the Sage was insightful and saw through the Bureau's conspiracy."

She once again praised the greatness of the wise man.

Should we refuse?

Rikka Kotori then asked, looking to her left and right.

"This is clearly just an ordinary dinner party, you guys are being so pretentious."

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking up.

"Of course we should accept the invitation! Since they've already made such malicious intentions, we absolutely cannot let this go unpunished. Instead, we must seize this opportunity to retaliate!"

Suddenly, Natsukawa Masaki spoke up, his expression one of fervor.

“Natsukawa-kun, you…”

What Nishikawa Morika wanted to say was quickly swallowed back.

"This is the perfect opportunity to thwart the Bureau's conspiracy! Haven't you been saying that the Bureau might be behind this? This time, we should try to take the initiative and capture the Holy Healer as a hostage!"

As Natsukawa Masaki spoke, she excitedly made a fist-waving gesture, which was quite inflammatory.

"Indeed, that's how it should be."

"It's time to face off against the Holy Healer!"

"It was through the Holy Healer that I learned the true nature of the Administration Bureau, Death."

The others were also somewhat swayed by these words.

Seeing this, Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu sighed and held her forehead with one hand.

She finally understood: this woman was just someone who loved to stir up trouble and was extremely wicked.
