When Izumi Hasegawa boarded the train, he no longer had the sharp edge he had shown before; instead, he exuded the air of a sunny, cheerful young man.

When he thought of his sister, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

At the dinner table that evening.

"Kukuku... my other half, how did you fare in this battle?"

Kobato asked curiously about the battle that afternoon.

As for the result, that goes without saying.

My brother is now the strongest in her eyes!

"A thrilling battle, he barely qualifies as an opponent... Perhaps we won't encounter a battle like today for a long time to come."

Hasegawa Izumi said with great emotion.

"..."

Looking at her older brother's expression, Xiaojiu suddenly felt that her brother looked a bit annoying.

At dawn, the sun rises in the east as usual, and the light of dawn spreads across the earth.

Hasegawa Izumi lifted the bag with one hand, slung it over her shoulder, and swaggered out the door. She glanced at the bicycle, which was still in disrepair, before quickly looking away.

"At Rikka's pace, will she be able to finish the task before the final exams?"

As he walked down the street, he was pondering this question.

Although he left Rikka to Natsukawa to raise, he kept a close eye on her and kept a firm grasp on her learning progress.

Failure or having to retake the exam is unacceptable to everyone, and he is no exception. He is willing to use some flexible methods to achieve this.

He turned the situation this way simply to help Rikka adapt to the world better and to enhance communication among the organization's members.

Suddenly, a jumble of noises ahead caught his attention.

"I'll climb up and save it!"

"Can you climb trees? What if you fall halfway down?"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Just wait here? I still have to go to school."

Does anyone have any ideas?

Under a large tree, a group of students were gathered around, looking very anxious.

"Meow…"

On a branch in the tree, a little orange cat was whimpering, its eyes blank as it looked down, instinctively trying to help.

Such adorable little animals are indeed eye-catching and evoke feelings of pity.

But the main reason he stopped was because of a blonde, twin-tailed young lady who was joining in the fun.

"Do you have any ideas, beautiful lady?"

A primary school girl tugged at Eriri's sleeve, her big, watery eyes staring at her, making it hard for Eriri to leave.

"Well..."

Eriri was just passing by when she was unexpectedly stopped by a child. She was quite annoyed and forced a smile, but in this situation, she couldn't just leave like that.

Otherwise, her public image will collapse!

Students from Shuchiin Academy pass by every now and then.

"What can we do? We can only use a ladder..."

Just as she was proposing a solution, her gaze suddenly fell on a figure not far away.

She blinked rapidly at her childhood sweetheart, frantically trying to signal him with her eyes.

"Izumi, come here quickly! Help! Help! Help! Help!..."

Now that she had been noticed, Izumi Hasegawa couldn't pretend not to see her and quickly walked over.

"But where are the ladders here..."

The child looked confused.

"give it to me."

A voice that inexplicably inspires trust suddenly rang out.

To everyone's astonishment, Izumi Hasegawa first stepped onto the tree trunk, then used the momentum to leap up again, performing a 360-degree somersault in the air. As she flew over the branches, she reached out and caught the kitten before landing safely.

"Wow, that's amazing! It actually flew..."

"Big brother, you're so handsome!"

"Big brother, I want to be like you too. Can you teach me how?"

He was immediately surrounded by several children.

Although it was just a small display of his skills, it still earned him everyone's admiration.

"for you."

Five minutes later, Izumi Hasegawa broke free from the entanglement of her fans and handed the kitten over to a child whose family owned a pet shop.

The two then traveled together.

"Izumi, you really do have fans wherever you go."

Her eyes seemed to shrink into two tiny dots. Eriri crossed her arms over her chest and said sourly.

"If Eriri could do the same thing as me, the result would be the same."

He said simply.

Are you implying that I'm incompetent?

A young girl's perspective is always so unique.

"Yes."

At times like these, he would often go along with what was being said.

"Izumi, you... idiot!"

Eriri's fair face quickly turned bright red.

He felt it instantly—

That feels so good!

Minister 103, you are forever a god!

"By the way, Eriri, are you confident about the upcoming final exams?"

Hanase Izumi made a connection.

For a young girl, this is a very important matter.

"You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics."

Eriri glared at him first, then said haughtily, "What problem could I possibly have?"

"Are you sure you're okay? I remember your English grades have never been very good. You barely passed the midterm exam... Honestly, you're mixed race, yet you have the worst grades in this subject."

"I'm sorry I don't have any talent! Don't assume everyone has the same talent for learning as you. Besides, I don't have the time; I have to draw!"

Eriri puffed out her cheeks.

However, the fact that Izumi knew about this means that Izumi had been secretly caring about him all along?

That's great! The bond between childhood sweethearts is undeniable, and she definitely holds a significant place in Quan's heart!

Thinking of this, the girl felt a secret, delighted feeling.

When the two stepped onto campus, the sight of them walking side by side was still somewhat eye-catching, but no one reacted with the same surprise as before.

At the stairwell, the two parted ways as if nothing had happened.

After he entered the classroom and sat down for a while, a petite girl wearing an eye patch walked in from the doorway.

"what?"

He noticed that Rikka's lips were moving, but she wasn't speaking to him, and her eyes seemed unfocused, which puzzled him.

It wasn't until Rikka sat down that he heard what the girl was saying; she had been reciting mathematical formulas.

"They're actually taking it this seriously?"

He was startled.

"Sage, no problem! I have mastered the basic physical laws of this world, I will definitely overcome these trials!"

Suddenly, Rikka Takanashi, who was sitting in place, looked up sharply, covered her eyes with one hand, and said in a righteous tone.

"Then come on."

He clenched his right fist to encourage the girl.

It seems that even without him doing anything extra, Rikka can overcome the difficulties through her own efforts.

When get out of class is over.

"Rikka, you're doing a test during break? You're working so hard!"

Fujiwara Chika ran up behind to play and noticed Rikka's condition, which shocked and embarrassed her.

"Don't get in my way while I'm studying, woman."

Rikka Takanashi raised her head with a cold gaze, startling the latter.

"Izumi-chan, what's wrong with Rikka? It's so scary! Could she have been traumatized?"

Fujiwara Chika ran to the side and complained to another person.

"Because Rikka is taking her midterm exams..."

Izumi Hasegawa briefly explained the reason.

"I see. Looks like I can't bother Rikka these next few days. I guess I'll just stay here and watch over her peacefully. That's the unspoken understanding between friends..."

After understanding, Fujiwara Chika touched her ten fingers together and revealed a gentle smile.

"Let's not talk about others. Qianhua, have you been studying hard? With your usual effort, you might have failed."

He immediately gave him a questioning look.

"Yes... Oh."

Chika-chan's flower-like face immediately wilted, and she visibly panicked, wiping away her sweat.

Her grades are average, but not perfectly balanced; she has weaker subjects, and if she's careless, she might need extra tutoring.

"I'm going to study too!"

The girl turned and ran away.

After school, they arrived at the Far East Magic Club. The situation was the same as the previous week. For them, who used this place as their organization, the final exams were very important.

The same applies to the entire academy; everyone is busy with exams, and most club activities have been suspended.

"Let's start with a simple pop quiz."

Wearing a white lab coat and looking every bit the professional teacher, Natsukawa Masaki flipped through a book and posed a question.

"...What is the probability that the sum of two dice is 3 when two dice are rolled?"

She lifted the bridge of her glasses with her fair fingers, making them reflect light, and her expression became somewhat solemn.

On the first day of the test, Rikka gave a completely random answer to a similar question, which gave her a small shock at getting a math score of 2 points.

So, what about today?

"easy."

The tuft of hair on Rikka's head twitched, like a program starting up, and it quickly calculated the answer on the laptop.

"How about it?"

She raised her head with a hint of pride, like a primary school student waiting for praise.
