The all-powerful middle schooler

"bingo!"

Natsukawa Masaki snapped her fingers, nodded in satisfaction, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I didn't just memorize the formulas; I learned to apply them flexibly!

"These kinds of questions are no challenge for me anymore, let's move on to the next one."

Rikka Takanashi waved her hand confidently.

"Well."

Xia Chuanzhen's eyes held a hint of mockery as she immediately assigned her a difficult question, causing the latter to question her existence and become serious.

A few minutes later.

"You're not even close yet!"

Natsukawa Masuzu gave Rikka's palm a heavy blow with his pointer, then secretly mimicked someone's tone and said...

"So, Dekomori, I'd like to hear your opinion now."

Izumi Hasegawa sat on the sofa to the side, then looked away and glanced to the side.

"Sage, I finally understand your intentions, Death!"

Sanae Tokomori's deep blue eyes, like the ocean, instantly calmed down, just like her current mood.

"Although I dislike that Witch of Greed, she's truly the only one capable of handling this death. Her grasp of human nature is simply too strong! Even though Mater willingly threw herself into it, she managed to manipulate Mater completely..."

Is this all you see?

His expression was somewhat speechless.

"Of course not! I can also see that the Witch of Greed did play a significant role, but the most fundamental reason is that Master himself possesses extraordinary potential, it's just that he hasn't been focusing on this aspect. Death, ah~ as expected of Master, he is still so unfathomable! I was originally complacent about my talent in this area being superior to Master's, but I was too naive."

Sanae Tokomori pressed her hand to her forehead, shaking her head and sighing involuntarily.

"Ah."

Hanase Izumi nodded silently.

What he really wanted to say was that Rikka's spirit had become stronger during this time.

Perhaps this means that Rikka is gradually adapting to the laws of this world.

In this way, Rikka should be the one who recovers her strength the fastest after the change of heaven!

A few days later.

It was another bright and sunny morning.

It rained last night, and there's still some water in the courtyard, but it didn't affect the sunny and breezy weather today.

"Clap clap clap..."

High school girls in school shoes walked across the shallow puddles, laughing and chatting all the way.

The girl wearing headphones kept her distance from the group around her and walked towards Shuchiin.

"Everyone, look over here."

Before school ended in the afternoon, Nanase clapped her hands and smiled broadly.

"Don't forget, everyone! The final exams are next Monday. There are only two days left. Let's all give it our all for a good grade! Especially for those of you who are under pressure to pass, it would be so unlucky if you couldn't get into a higher school because of it... Oh, by the way, if that happens, the school will definitely inform your parents."

The teacher's smiling face was the most terrifying expression for the students who were at the bottom of the class.

'So failing a grade means you can't go to school? That's way too difficult; neither I nor they could do it...'

Nakano Miku lay on the table, her eyes looking somewhat lost.

She couldn't quite understand why her father had sent them to this school.

Will someone who doesn't want to study suddenly want to study even if they switch to a school with a better academic atmosphere?

That's a bit too naive!

But if there's really no way to continue my education, then there's nothing I can do...

She glanced back furtively, and a thought began to form in her mind.

……

As the sun sets, the sunlight gradually turns a dim yellow, spreading across the entire land and casting long shadows of people walking along the road.

"Master, you said you were going to take us somewhere, but where is it?"

"Evil King's True Eye, I don't have that much time to travel around with you."

"Takayuki, are we there yet?"

After their club activities ended today, the members of the Far East Magic Club did not leave. Instead, they followed Rikka Takanashi to a remote location.

"Here we are, right here."

In front of a forest, the girl suddenly stopped, and everyone looked in the direction she was looking.

This is a rather abrupt-looking small hill. In front of it is a stone-paved staircase, which looks like it has more than 200 steps to the top. On both sides of the staircase, there are ancient trees lined up neatly, their lush green branches covered with leaves that stretch outwards, obscuring the walls on both sides and giving off a mysterious air.

"This place seems to be a shrine."

Hasegawa Izumi's gaze sharpened as she looked up and saw a tall torii gate at the end of the stone steps.

So, what is Rikka here for?

Could it be that they're planning to attack the gods?

"Let's go."

Rikka Takanashi stepped onto the steps and turned to wave to the crowd.

They exchanged glances and decided to follow.

The dappled shadows fell on everyone's faces, and the surrounding environment created a tranquil and sacred atmosphere.

"So that's how it is. Master, have you found a god's 'divine realm'? Let's come together. Are you perhaps preparing to start a divine war? But it seems to be abandoned..."

As they approached the summit, Sanae Dekomori also noticed the torii gate and then made a bold conjecture.

"How is that possible?"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu pursed her lips.

The shrine here is not large. The main hall of the shrine is at the end of the short ten-meter approach. It is obviously not big, but it is also simple and solemn, with a unique architectural style.

The group arrived at the place of worship.

"With the Evil King's True Eye, command it to gather its entire soul, body, and skeleton, so that it may avoid the fate of failing its math exam!"

Rikka Takanashi stepped forward, clapped her hands, closed her eyes, and began to pray devoutly.

"Death!"

Sanae Tokomori also made the same worship gesture.

"So you came here to 'seek divine help'? What a waste of my time. I thought there was some interesting show going on."

With her jade-like right hand, she brushed aside her smooth, long silver hair and said impatiently.

"It's not a request, it's a command!"

Rikka immediately retorted.

"You don't need to go to the shrine at all, do you? You're not worried about failing your exams like Takanashi."

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsume crossed her arms and looked at the girl next to her with a strange expression.

"Dekomori is the master's servant, so assisting in battle is his duty."

Sanae Tokomori pressed one hand to her chest and said with great pride.

"By the way, Rikka, are you sure this will work? Do you even know what this deity's duties are?"

However, Izumi Hasegawa suddenly raised another question.

"Of course I know that."

Rikka Takanashi looked very knowledgeable and assumed an archery stance with both hands.

"This is the Yagami Shrine. Yagami is the god of arrows and oaths. As long as I make an oath, he will naturally respond to my request! If it were an ordinary person, there would naturally be a price to pay, but since this is an order, there is no need to worry."

"The God of Arrows? If we had received the God of Arrows' help back then, even if it was Dekomori, we could have defeated Shinomiya!"

Sanae Tokomori suddenly clenched her fists in excitement.

"You'd better stop dreaming. That kind of thing doesn't exist in this world. Instead of praying to God, you'd be better off praying to Hasegawa."

"Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi said with a sneer."

"Clap clap clap...morisumme is right."

Natsukawa Masaki clapped enthusiastically in agreement, raised his right hand with an excited expression, and said with sincere eyes.

"Only the Minister is my eternal god!"

However, her passionate speech was completely ignored by this 'deity'.

Hasegawa Izumi looked away.

A strange noise came from the bushes nearby.

rustle……

"There's something there! Be on alert!"

Rikka Takanashi reacted quickly, pulling out an automatic umbrella called 'Black Zex Primal Type 2' from her backpack, ready to deploy 'Black Shield' for defense at any moment.

"It feels like an ancient aura, perhaps from some kind of powerful magical beast."

Sanae Tokomori looked wary, making a hand chop motion with both hands, assuming a defensive stance.

"Meow……"

A black cat darted out of the grass. It was completely black, but its fur looked very smooth and shiny, especially the X-shaped scar on its head.

"I actually encountered a wild chimera here!?"

Rikka Takanashi let out a startled cry.

The black cat glanced at everyone, stared at him for a few seconds, and then ran into the bushes nearby.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss over something like this...!"

Startled, Natsukawa Masuzu yelled at the two of them in an annoyed tone.

"It's time to go back."

Dansheng Gusenxia couldn't help but urge.

"Let's go."

Hasegawa Izumi glanced back in the direction the black cat had gone, and then spoke.

Everyone then left the shrine together.

Just after this weekend.

Final exams are coming up in early July...

104 Final Fantasy

"...The math test is about to begin. You can't peek before the bell rings."

The homeroom teacher, Nanase Tsukumo, walked to the front of the stage and said with a smile.

Rikka Takanashi stared intently at the back of the exam paper.

'I saw it, I saw it... I saw it!'

She muttered to herself, and just then the bell rang. She flipped the test paper over and glanced at the math questions.

An unprecedented sense of confidence welled up inside me.

She felt that most of these questions were very familiar!

"Break out, reality!"
