Anime Heart

Yamada Fairy was unhappy that Arima Kento was making fun of her father, so she reached out and pushed Arima Kento into the lake, but unexpectedly she was also pulled in.

The two smiled at each other in the lake, then played around for a while before returning to the hotel to rest.

We were just talking about Yamada Elf's older brother, Yamada Chris, when we bumped into him in the hotel's public hot spring room.

Chris Yamada also recognized Arima Kenjiro, and then...

Arima Kento initially thought the other party was a siscon, and that he would be furious that his sister, Yamada Elf, had been tricked into his hands. However, to his surprise, Yamada Chris was actually very grateful to him.

"I feel the same way as my sister. Even though you have many girlfriends, I believe you can make my sister happy, and that's enough! From now on, she's in your care!"

These words, which sounded like a promise, actually came from the mouth of Yamada Elf brother.

However, Ma Xiandong was quite happy to have gained her brother's approval.

Because I really will marry Yamada Elf in the future.

The time spent playing flew by, and Arima Kento returned home to begin tidying up.

After nearly two months of travel, he was a little tired.

There were still exams after the start of the semester, and he also had articles to write, so Ma Xiandong stayed at home until September 15th.

September 15th is the official start of the school year and also Yamada Elf's birthday.

That day, Ma Xiandong went to school to register in the morning, and then asked for leave in the afternoon.

He's going to celebrate Yamada Elf's birthday.

As for the gift, Arima Kento carefully selected a necklace, similar in style to Kaori Miyazono's but not the same.

However, the meaning is the same. Yamada Elf is very knowledgeable and immediately understood what Arima Kento meant.

She rushed into Arima Kento's arms, hugged him, and kissed him.

Summer vacation is over just like that.

Chapter 267 The Exam

As the new semester began, Arima Kento sat in the classroom flipping through his books.

Today is September 16th, the second day of the new semester.

Arima Kento still remembers how excited and thrilled Yamada Elf was when he gave her her birthday present yesterday and personally put it on her.

The incredibly passionate kiss that followed left Arima Kento with a lingering sense of nostalgia.

Arima Kento is considered a top student, so he usually only listens attentively during class time and has other plans for his free time.

But today's behavior is quite different from what we've done before.

He was actually flipping through textbooks before the school bell rang.

This is completely out of character for him.

The students nearby also looked surprised when they saw it.

Some girls who considered themselves to be on good terms with Arima Kenji approached his table, leaned slightly forward, looked at him, and asked:

"Class monitor! Are you studying?"

Arima Kento looked up, smiled slightly at the girl, and said, "That's right! The exam is coming up soon, so I need to review my books too."

"Hey, didn't the class monitor study during the summer vacation? If you only have this little bit of time to review before the exam, you might be in trouble!"

The girl couldn't help but worry about Arima Kento, her emotions were undisguised, and Arima Kento knew that she was genuinely worried about him.

There's no way around it! He's just that popular in class; even ordinary classmates pay attention to him.

Yu Ma Xian Dong wouldn't ignore this concern. He looked up at the girl and smiled, "It's okay. I already know it. I'm just taking a look at it now. It'll be no problem to pass the exam."

"There were so many things to do during summer vacation that I almost forgot about studying, which is really not good! But thank you for your concern. I hope you do well on the exam later. Good luck!"

"Okay, that puts my mind at ease! Go, class monitor!"

After the girl left and the people around him stopped paying much attention to him, Yu Ma Xian Dong turned to look at the owner of the seat next to him with a wry smile.

When the other person saw Arima Kento looking over, he immediately made an angry expression, while gently turning his head away in a cute way that said, "I don't want to talk to you."

This is exactly what it looks like to watch the whole process from the sidelines.

She is now not only Ma Xiandong's sister, but also Ma Xiandong's girlfriend, and they are the kind of couple who can get married with their parents' consent once they reach a certain age.

Such a person could definitely be called a sister-in-law!

Arima Kento understood why the girl was angry. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to what was happening, so he got up and went to Ako's side.

Under the girl's surprised gaze, he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"I can't just ignore my classmate's friendly concern! Yako, don't be so jealous, or you'll end up making yourself angry."

"Who...who's jealous!"

With a flushed face, Yako managed to squeeze out these words. Her heart was pounding, and she felt that what she had just done was very bold, very embarrassing, and also very exciting.

That brother of mine is really something, bullying Ya Zi like that at school. What if the other students see it?

Seeing Ayako's charming appearance, Arima Kento smiled slightly, reached out and placed his hand on Ayako's head, gently stroking her black hair.

Yako also subconsciously squinted her eyes to enjoy it.

Arima Kento was quite skilled at patting heads, and all five girls, including Ako, thoroughly enjoyed his technique.

Seeing that Ayako's blush had faded, like a kitten, Arima Kento withdrew his hand and asked, "Ayako, have you finished studying? Don't come to me for help during the exam!"

When Arima Kenji's hand left her head, Ako felt a slight pang of disappointment, but upon hearing his next words, she couldn't help but retort:

"She's already finished studying, unlike her brother who wanders around aimlessly, spending far less time with Aya. Now that the exams are almost here, she's cramming at the last minute..."

"I was wrong! But I have a reason why I absolutely have to go, please forgive me. Also, since you're so confident this time, Aya, let's have a competition. Whoever gets the higher score can make a request of the person with the lower score, how about that?"

"Hmph! I won't agree! Everyone knows my brother is a genius!" Ako said angrily, looking at Arima Kento.

"But I haven't touched a book for two months! Two months! If I don't seize this opportunity, it will be hard to beat me in the future!"

Arima Kento used a provocation tactic.

The reason he made that joke was because Ayako is currently working hard and striving for excellence. She has made up her mind to get into the same high school as Arima Kento through her own efforts.

Since that's the case, Arima Kento should give her more motivation, like this, so that Ako sees an opportunity to defeat Arima Kento.

Arima Kento has always been her role model in her studies, and also her mentor.

So for Ako, beating Arima Kento in academics is very attractive... What the hell!

Ako would never want to defeat Arima Kento!

For her, Arima Sen-tung was everything. She had defeated or even denied everything about herself. Was this the prelude to suicide?

"No way!"

Ayako remained unmoved by Arima Kento's persuasion and said, "I want to make a request of you, brother. Will you refuse?"

"Um, I don't think so."

"See! Your offer isn't attractive to me, so the bet is off! Besides, I know how capable you are, brother. Even if you don't study for two months, you'll still be number one in the whole grade!"

"You know it, Yako, why tell me?"

Ring ring ring...

The bell rang for class or exam.

The students returned to their classrooms to prepare for the arrival of the proctors.

The exams will be held from the 16th to the 20th, and almost all subjects will require exams.

From the 20th to the 25th, students who failed their exams will have make-up classes, and their make-up exams will be scheduled from the 25th to the end of September.

If I pass all the official exams, then I can freely allocate my time after the 20th, even if I go home to rest.

It's essentially a holiday for students with excellent academic performance.

They only need to come to school on October 1st to continue their studies. In fact, everyone officially begins their second semester on October 1st.

The second half of September is the time to resolve all matters related to the exams.

Chapter 268 Making a Big Death (Daily Asking for Vote)

On September 20th, the four-day intense exams came to an end.

Arima Kenjiro and his group arrived at the school's bulletin board, where all the students' exam results would be posted today.

Upon arriving at the third-grade section, Yu Ma Xian Dong immediately spotted his own name.

Just as Ako said, he was ranked number one on the overall third-year list.

Even though he didn't study at all during the summer vacation, he still got the top score in the whole grade.

This is an unfair world. Ma Xiandong's golden touch gives him a huge advantage in learning and many other aspects, which is unimaginable and incomparable to others.

Asuma Hitoshi excelled academically and was admired by others, as were his classmates. None of them needed extra tutoring or retakes.

Even Yako, who was the most worrying student, barely passed the exam this time, surprising everyone.

"Why do you all look so disbelieving! Am I not good enough to pass?" Ako said, dissatisfied.

"Not at all! I'm very happy that you were able to pass on your own merits, Ayako." Arima Kenji quickly comforted the girl.

Then, he glanced around, a sudden idea flashing in his mind, and said, "Since there are still ten days before school officially starts, this is a rare opportunity. How about this, I'll treat everyone to a trip to the beach?"

Arima Kento was speaking to Arima Kousei, Sawabe Tsubaki, Watari Ryota, Aota Keiko, and Ako.

His royalties for "Date A Live" have already been paid out. He also used his own royalties to buy Yamada Elf a birthday present.

The necklace he gave to Yamada Elf was quite valuable. Arima Kento had less than a fifth of his manuscript fees left, but even so, he had no problem treating a dozen or so people to a trip to the beach.

Kousei, Tsubaki, and Ako need no introduction; their relationship with Arima Kento is impeccable, and they wouldn't object to Arima Kento treating them.

At worst, once they make money in the future, they can just turn around and hire Arima Kento.

Ryota Watari and his girlfriend Keiko Aota had reservations.

Because A-Du often spends time with his girlfriend, he has less contact with Arima Kenjiro, so he feels a little awkward and can't accept Arima Kenjiro's gifts without feeling at ease.
