Chapter 303 Even Saints Get Angry

To everyone's surprise, Kato Megumi was the kind of test taker who relied on feng shui and metaphysics.

They rely on luck to understand the questions, and on their looks to answer them.

Those with good luck will pass, while those with bad luck will fail miserably.

Arima Kento responded, "I never expected you to be like this, Kato Megumi."

In fact, he had no right to look down on Kato Megumi, since in both his past and present lives, his approach to answering English exam questions was exactly the same as Kato Megumi's.

However, he was a little better than Kato Megumi in that he would draw lots for several options and take a bath, change clothes, and pray to Buddha before the exam.

Although doing this has no effect whatsoever, it can at least soothe one's heart, can't it?

Since English is not required in this life, Arima Xiandong simply gave it up. He figured he could just learn Turkish, which would be much better than learning English.

But Kato Megumi isn't like me!

I only experienced this in one subject, while Kato Megumi experienced it in all subjects.

Out of curiosity, Arima Kento asked Kato Megumi for the reason, and this is how the girl answered.

"Ah, well. When I was in school, there were some things I didn't understand, so I raised my hand to ask the teacher, but they ignored me. Later, there were more and more things I didn't understand, until I couldn't understand them at all, so I could only write whatever I could, since the teacher wouldn't let us hand in a blank paper."

"Luckily, I'm quite lucky. It's not usually noticeable, but I always manage to guess a lot of things correctly during exams, and then I pass without even realizing it."

Upon closer examination, the reason the girl was in this learning situation was her peculiar special ability.

Why aren't girls born into a fantasy world?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to become a master assassin who is renowned throughout the three realms?

No, even if the girl lived in a high-magic world, she wouldn't be awe-inspiring throughout the three realms. Her passive ability would cause people to slowly forget all her deeds.

"It's really tough," Arima Kento couldn't help but say. "Your special ability is truly torturous!"

When Kato Megumi heard Arima Kento's words, she smiled indifferently and calmly said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

This simple sentence conveyed countless sorrows to Arima Kento.

Just as Arima Kento was about to comfort the girl, Kato Megumi blurted out a bunch of things.

"Actually, this is pretty good. I can slack off whenever I want without anyone bothering me. I can play games when I want, sleep when I want, and browse Twitter when I want. I suddenly have so much more free time."

"I feel more comfortable at school than at home. At home, my parents keep an eye on me, although it's easy to ignore them. Here, I can do whatever I want."

Give me back my emotions of gratitude and heartache...

Although the girl said that, Arima Sento had already made up his mind to help her.

He felt powerless to help in other areas, or that his efforts might even have the opposite effect, so he decided to help Kato Megumi with her studies.

How can you rely on luck for an exam? What if you happen to have bad luck that day, and it's also an important exam? Then the girl would be doomed.

At the very least, you should know a little bit about it yourself! As for other things you can't learn, you can rely on metaphysics or your looks.

With that in mind, Arima Kento said to Kato Megumi, "You stay here and don't move. I'm going to buy an orange... no, I mean, hand in my class quiz."

Then, Arima Kento took the classroom test, handed it to the teacher, and called the teacher outside the classroom.

The math teacher is also their homeroom teacher, and Ma Xiandong's actions required the homeroom teacher's approval.

A few minutes later, Ma Xiandong and the homeroom teacher walked in one after the other.

Arima Kento returned to his seat, while the homeroom teacher, the math teacher, stood on the podium.

When Kato Megumi saw Arima Kento return, she asked, "What did you want with the teacher just now?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Arima Kento added a touch of mystery, not telling Kato Megumi directly.

Kato Megumi nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Sitting in her seat, she took out her phone, opened the game page, and stared at Arima Hitoshi.

When Arima Kento turned to look at her, she turned her phone towards him and asked, "Let's play a game. I'll give you a five-second head start."

"Wow, that's impressive! But wait, we'll have to move the table later."

Arima Kento was quite provoked, but he held back.

Why are you moving the table?

You'll find out soon enough.

At this moment, the teacher on the podium suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, please be quiet. According to one student, the aisle in the classroom is too narrow, making it inconvenient for everyone to walk around. Is that right?"

"Yes! I just touched my little toe."

"That's right, I almost fell over!"

The classroom suddenly buzzed with excitement; everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with the classroom layout.

That's true; originally, five rows of single desks would have been enough in the classroom.

However, due to the large number of new students enrolled this year, and the fact that the new teaching building has not yet been completed.

So basically every classroom has six rows of single desks, which naturally makes everyone feel crowded.

Previously, Ma Xiandong did not bring it up because he was in the last row, so the congestion was not significant.

"In that case, let's rearrange the classroom! Put two desks next to each other, and turn six columns into three. Won't that make the aisles much more spacious?"

"Alright, everyone, let's get started!"

Following the teacher's instructions, the students below also began to move the tables.

Arima Kenji also lifted his single table and moved it towards Kato Megumi, finally placing his table right next to her.

Then he reached out and pulled the stool over, and Arima Kento plopped down next to Kato Megumi, only a hand's width away from her.

“You were the one who gave the feedback,” Kato Megumi said softly.

“Yes! I was the one who said it. Don’t you think it makes the space much more spacious?” Arima Kento did not deny it.

"What's your purpose in sitting here?"

"I can supervise your studies, help you with your studies, or even tutor you! Don't you think it's much more convenient to do everything after pulling the table in?"

“Ugh, I don’t want to study.” Kato Megumi asked calmly, “Why do I have to study when I can just slack off?”

"Hehe, if you're not going to study, then I'll take back that opportunity."

"How dare you cheat!" Kato Megumi's tone changed. "You lost to me before, and we made a bet."

"Tch, do you have any evidence?" Arima Kento glanced disdainfully at the girl who was bristling (let's call her that) and said, "No, right? If you want to continue to have that opportunity, sit down and obediently follow me to study."

"Mmmm."

The girl pouted slightly, turned her head away, and refused to look at Arima Kento's face.

Chapter 304 Even Saints Can Settle It

When Arima Kento first met Kato Megumi, he wondered what she would look like when she was angry, given her calm and even-tempered nature.

Today, he finally witnessed it.

After being in school for so long and sitting next to each other for so many days, Arima Kento finally had a fresh perspective on girls. It was the first time he had seen a sulking Kato Megumi.

The initial awe and wonder I felt upon first seeing him as a saint had vanished.

Has anyone ever seen a saint tilting their head and pouting like a wronged little girl?

Arima Kento might use this as something to brag about, that he had seen such a saint, even if it was a saint named Hui.

Furthermore, Kato Megumi at this time was not as exaggerated as described above.

However, the head tilting and pouting do exist.

Seeing the girl's adorable appearance, Arima Kento couldn't resist taking out his phone and snapping a few photos.

The girl noticed Ma Xiandong's movements, immediately turned her head to stare at him, her mouth slightly open, but then closed it again.

She just stared at Arima Kento like that.

Incidentally, her expression hadn't yet returned to its saintly state; she still looked like a wronged little girl.

For no apparent reason, Arima Sento felt that this was even cuter and more adorable than before.

So he took out his phone again, which he had just put back in his pocket, and snapped several more pictures in quick succession.

"Arima-kun, please stop taking pictures. Otherwise, I'll get angry."

As Kato Megumi spoke, her cute expression vanished, replaced by her usual expressionless face.

At the same time, her eyes remained fixed on Arima Kento's eyes.

Seeing this expression, Ma Xiandong knew he couldn't continue teasing the girl; if she really got angry, things wouldn't be fun anymore.

People who are not easily angered can have very serious consequences once they are provoked.

Megumi Kato looks exactly like that kind of person.

Arima Kenji could clearly see the strangeness hidden beneath the calm on the girl's face.

"Sorry, sorry! I couldn't resist taking pictures of Kato-kun when I saw her like that. If you don't like it, I'll delete these photos."

As he spoke, Arima Kento clasped his hands together in front of Kato Megumi, indicating that he truly knew he was wrong.

Upon hearing the apology, Kato Megumi frowned. The girl parted her teeth slightly and said, "Since the photos have already been taken, there's no need to delete them. Just remember to send them to me later."

"The reason I was angry just now wasn't because of the photos you took, but because of what you did before. And you didn't even realize you were wrong, and you were going to continue, taking photos as well."

Perhaps because Ma Xiandong was the girl's target, she explained it a little.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ma Xian Dong said, "I apologize for threatening to break the contract. However, there's no room for negotiation regarding your studies. You can't just slack off on your studies, and I can help you with tutoring to improve your grades."

"If it's tutoring, it seems like I'd be the one who gets more tired! I'm willing to do it, so why are you against it?"

"But I can pass the exam even if I don't study. What's the point of studying? It's better to play a couple of games," Kato Megumi argued casually.

Arima Kento glanced at Kato, who was speaking so confidently about not studying.

The other person felt his gaze, tilted their head slightly to look, and then quickly turned back.
