Ye Xing showed no outward reaction, but inwardly he was thinking to himself.

It seems that although Kaguya Shinomiya sent Ai Hayasaka to follow her, she did not reveal the information she obtained to anyone.

Otherwise, Fujiwara Chika, as the other party's friend, wouldn't have used uncertain words like "should" or "do you know each other?"

"Really!?"

Fujiwara Chika, her face beaming with excitement, quickly spoke up.

"Could you please introduce me to Touma-san? I'm really curious about her!"

"Getting to know each other is no problem."

Night Star chuckled casually.

"However, her attitude towards strangers can hardly be described as friendly."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Fujiwara Chika looked extremely confident.

"I'm sure we'll have things in common."

"Let's go then."

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a secluded corner...

"Huh...huh..."

Shirogane Miyuki leaned against the wall, not even caring about keeping his school uniform neat, and sat directly on the ground without any regard for his image.

This exam.......

The pressure on him was immense.

The moment he saw the exam paper, Miyuki Shirogane knew that he had lost the right to compete with Kaguya Shinomiya and Yohoshi.

He felt like a mortal caught up in a battle between two gods.

That's right.

Miyuki Shirogane is not a genius.

To be honest...

He can only be considered a genius in terms of focus and perseverance.

Shirogane Miyuki's dedication to learning enabled him to spend 20 out of every 24 hours studying.

He would even stop reading while eating or using the toilet.

However, that's where the limit of effort comes from.

Under these completely different exam rules, only true geniuses like Kaguya Shinomiya can remain unaffected and perform at the same level as usual.

There is no need to announce the results.

Shirogane Miyuki already knew that he would not be able to get first place in this exam.

........

Meanwhile, in the teachers' office of Shuchiin.

The middle-aged woman with gold-rimmed glasses was sitting with several other carefully selected, experienced, and outstanding teachers.

Everyone stared in silence at the exam paper in front of them.

The atmosphere in the office was so oppressive it felt almost deathly still.

The middle-aged woman looked at the exam paper in front of her and Ye Xing's name on it, pushed up her glasses, and slowly spoke.

"I don't believe it. Show me the surveillance footage. Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

As the first and only student to submit his paper early in this joint exam held by Soubu High School and the private Shuchiin Academy, Yoruhoshi's answer sheet had already been placed on the table.

However, the teachers at Shuchiin Academy found it hard to believe the facts before them.

Ye Xing completed all the questions in just forty minutes.

and...

The quality of this exam paper is so high that it's almost unbelievable.

If I had to describe it in words...

The moment this exam paper was placed before them, the teachers of Shuchiwon no longer needed to look at the answers of other candidates.

The first place has already been determined.

The school administration of Shuchiin University simply couldn't believe such a thing could happen.

After Kaguya Shinomiya handed in her exam paper, the Shuchiin teachers who were responsible for grading the papers placed the two papers side by side and compared them.

good news.

Kaguya Shinomiya's score was very good, close to perfect.

bad news.

The perfection of Ye Xing's exam paper goes beyond whether it's full marks or not.

Even though the teachers at Shuchiin Academy racked their brains to find a reason to deduct points, they couldn't find one.

This is a perfect exam paper, without any flaws.

After retrieving the surveillance footage, the middle-aged woman sat in front of the computer and zoomed in on the captured images.

Everyone in the office had their eyes fixed on the video recording in front of them.

And what they didn't notice, or rather, couldn't notice, was...

A woman dressed in a kimono, with a sash around her eyes, stood quietly behind them, watching everyone's every move.

"This is..."

The moment the surveillance footage started playing, the teachers at Shuchiin were stunned by Yohoshi's actions.

He calmly wrote his name above the exam paper.

This single action took more than five seconds, a stark contrast to the other candidates who rushed to answer questions as soon as the bell rang.

Immediately afterwards...

"Holy shit!?"

Seeing Ye Xing's right hand holding the ballpoint pen as he wrote on the exam paper, even leaving an afterimage, the middle-aged female teacher from Shuchiin who was watching the surveillance video was so shocked that she even swore.

What's the situation?

Can a normal person write this fast?

Even if you're just copying the answer, you should at least look up and glance at it, right?

But Ye Xing's movements were almost without pause.

Only when finishing one question and moving on to the next will there be a slight pause of 0.2 to 0.3 seconds, which is barely noticeable unless slowed down.

Furthermore, he did not answer the questions in the order of the three subjects, as most candidates did.

Instead, I answered the questions directly according to the question distribution on the exam paper, starting from the first one and working my way down.

what does this mean?

One second ago, he was working on a math problem.

The next second, it seamlessly switched to humanities reading comprehension.

Then, there's English grammar and sentence structure.

This shift in thinking, combined with reading, leads to the conclusion.

The entire process took only about 0.3 seconds.

"This...this guy...is way too outrageous..."

The teachers at Shuchiin were stunned as they watched the footage.

That's ridiculously exaggerated.

At this moment, the teachers of Shuchiin High School finally realized how foolish the school had been in making the decision to hold a joint exam to compete with Soubu High School.

Even the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Foundation, the genius Kaguya Shinomiya...

In the face of the opponent, they are utterly vulnerable.

One of the teachers opened his mouth and murmured in disbelief.

"What...what should we do now?"

For a moment, the office fell silent.

Only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the exam paper echoed continuously on the computer screen.

After a long while, the middle-aged female teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses sighed softly, her face showing a heavy expression.

"What else can we do? Grade the papers, and then..."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the middle-aged female teacher slowly began to speak.

"Publish the results truthfully."

"Publish the results truthfully?"

A male teacher's expression changed, and he hesitated.

"But that would mean that our Shuchiin..."

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged female teacher interrupted him directly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, and said in a cold voice.

"So you mean you want us to deliberately lower Ye Xing's score during the grading process?"

The middle-aged female teacher scanned the crowd and slowly began to speak.

"Leaving aside whether there are any flaws in this exam paper that could lead to deductions, you need to understand one thing."

"We are the best university in Sakura Province and the most important cradle of talent in Sakura Province."

"Our students from Shuchiwon will, after graduation, appear in the political and business worlds, as well as various industries, and become influential figures."
