Although others don't understand that he keeps to himself to protect those around him, he himself doesn't care.

His swordsmanship is among the best of his time, and it is said that he is even better than the swordsman generals of the past.

The secret sword [Nothingness] that ends the war can cancel the enemy's skills, abilities, and spells.

So the enemy was wiped out.

"To be precise, this is my new masterpiece..." Zaimokuza Yoshiki folded his arms over his chest and declared quite complacently, "...the design collection!"

So does the Servant Club still review manuscripts?... Saki Kawasaki looked at Yuigahama Yui and found that she was playing with her mobile phone seriously.

Kawasaki Saki lowered her voice: "Don't you want to take a look?"

"Hmm? No need." Yuigahama Yui shook her head, "That would be a bit too much."

"Too much?" A question mark appeared over Saki Kawasaki's head.

Yukinoshita Yukino put down the printed paper: "So what about the previous one?"

"That... uh..." Zaimokuza Yoshiki looked away awkwardly, "My inspiration is endless, and it's not something that a single work can sustain..."

Yukinoshita Yukino summed it up succinctly: "Giving up halfway."

“!!!” Zaimokuza Yoshiki was hit hard.

"The midterm exam is only a few days away. You're taking this out now. Have you finished your review?"

"Not... not yet..." Zaimokuza Yoshiki's body shook.

"You said inspiration is endless, but all I see is the setting, not the plot. And there's only one person in the setting. With two swords clashing, there should be at least two people, right?"

Zaimokuza Yoshiki nearly fell off his chair: "The others... are still under consideration..."

"Since the protagonist's grandfather died when he was young, how did he learn swordsmanship from him?"

"This...this..." Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's forehead was covered with sweat. "Extraordinary talent..."

"This setting is quite easy to wrap up." Dong Yunshan said, "Bloodline inheritance, ancestral souls, and the like."

"Yeah!" Zaimokuza Yoshiki nodded vigorously, "That's what I think!"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Azuma Yunshan and asked, "How are the two swords and the reversed world going to be presented?"

"We can only focus on the enemy." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "We'll adopt a different approach from the mainstream. Instead of heroes teaming up to defeat the demon king, we'll have a lone protagonist defeating a villain with many companions."

"That's it!" Zaimokuza Yoshiki's eyes sparkled. "The strongest swordsman—Bright Woodstark—was born in a mirror world replicated from the real world. His secret sword, the Thousand Blades of Mirage, can copy all the skills, techniques, and abilities of others. Because he can only use one ability at a time, and because the original owner can no longer use it after death, he has made many powerful allies!"

So that's how it is... Saki Kawasaki thought thoughtfully.

If it was just Yukinoshita Yukino, it would just be sharp criticism.

But with the addition of Eastern Spruce, it becomes a guide to finding and filling in the gaps.

By cooperating with each other, the two can help Zaimokuza Yoshiteru.

So what does Yuigahama Yui mean by "excessive"?

"Canceling abilities and copying abilities." Dong Yunshan nodded. "What about the other settings? Are they also copied from A Certain Magical Index?"

"Puff!" Zaimokuza Yoshiki fell to his knees with a thud, making a hoarse sound.

Saki Kawasaki: "..."

It turns out that it's not one who encourages and the other suppresses, but one who knocks down and the other who finishes off.

The lethality of Yukinoshita Yukino and Azuma Yunshan is already very high, and adding another person to the mix would be a bit excessive.

Zaimokuza Yoshiki struggled to stand up, avoiding the gazes of Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino, glanced at Yuigahama Yui who was still playing with her mobile phone, and turned his gaze to Kawasaki Saki.

Should I say something too... Kawasaki Saki looked embarrassed: "I feel that both characters are very interesting. When they first met, they must have a lot to talk about."

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's body stiffened and he fell completely to the ground.

Something translucent seemed to float out of the open mouth.

"Huh?" Kawasaki Saki looked at the others helplessly, "Did I say anything hurtful?"

"This isn't your problem, it's his." Dong Yunshan tapped his temple with two fingers together. "It's quite common to rack your brains to come up with all these amazing settings, but in the end, in the actual story, you can't even come up with a single line of dialogue between the two of you.

"I... I will definitely break through this barrier!" Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's eyes flashed, and he began to fear with difficulty. "I will be in seclusion for three years... three months... three weeks, and then I will come back to ask for your advice - goodbye... wuwuwuwuwu..."

Was that crying just now? Kawasaki Saki was a little worried: "Is this okay?"

"He basically comes here every once in a while to train his resilience." Dong Yunshan waved his hand. "Don't worry, crying is a good thing. It means his trip is worthwhile."

Kawasaki Saki: "...?"

Volume 6: Chapter 220 The True Relationship

After a few days of getting along, Saki Kawasaki gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the service club and became familiar with the black tea and biscuits that were available almost every day, as well as the occasional cake.

But there is always a doubt.

What is the relationship between Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino?

Look through the answer keys to check the questions you have completed and mark the questions you got wrong.

Saki Kawasaki carefully analyzed the mistakes and figured out the questions she failed to answer correctly due to momentary negligence. The only questions left were those she didn't know how to answer even after seeing the answers.

Yuigahama Yui is asking questions to Yukinoshita Yukino.

Saki Kawasaki went to Azuma Yunshan with questions.

"This question..." Dong Yunshan glanced at it, "You should choose C."

"Huh?" Saki Kawasaki knew that Azuma Yunshan was a good student, but she didn't expect him to be so good.

She looked at the questions and didn't understand the answers, but Dong Yunshan got them right just by taking a quick glance?

Noticing the surprise on her face, Dong Yunshan asked, "Isn't it C?"

"It's C." Kawasaki Saki looked at the multiple-choice question again. "How did you do it so quickly?"

"Guess."

"what?"

"Probability questions always have a trap. Most probability questions involve subtracting a fraction from one. Some people get careless and forget to subtract, so there's usually a confusing option in the answer, and you can easily get it wrong," Dong Yunshan explained briefly. "So think about it the other way around. When a probability question has two options that add up to one, the correct answer is likely between those two. Then, look at the question stem and roughly estimate the probability. In this case, the probability is clearly less than one-half, so the answer is C."

"......?" Kawasaki Saki was stunned. "Is this possible?"

"It's an exam, just get the score."

"What about this question?" Saki Kawasaki pointed to another question.

It's not probability, so you can't guess.

Dong Yunshan took a quick look and said, "The drawing is very standard. Take a ruler and measure it."

"Is this okay?"

Dong Yunshan spread his hands and said, "Just do it right."

Saki Kawasaki: “…” It seems to make sense.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.

There's a chill rising.

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Azuma Yunshan with cold eyes: "It won't work even if you do it right."

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with doing it right?"

"That's not doing it right at all, that's guessing right."

"You just said there was no point."

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly: "So you yourself don't dare to face the fundamental right and wrong."

Dong Yunshan curled his lips and said, "First, let's define what is essentially right and wrong."

This seems like a quarrel.

Saki Kawasaki looked at Yuigahama Yui, wanting to know what to do now.

Then......

Yuigahama Yui poured some more tea and picked up the bag of biscuits.

Whenever Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino quarreled, Yuigahama Yui would take a bite.

Noticing Saki Kawasaki's gaze, she added more tea to Saki Kawasaki's cup.

Saki Kawasaki: "..."

"The purpose of an exam is to test the results of learning," Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, "Your approach deviates from the original purpose of the exam."

"But I took the exam to get a good grade, and you've betrayed the original purpose of taking the exam." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "Can you take a zero-score test and tell the university that you actually have good grades and have achieved a lot?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked back: "Can you hold up the answer you guessed correctly and say that you have mastered the knowledge?"

"It's called a test-taking skill." Dong Yunshan shook his finger. "The ability to master such a skill proves that I have the corresponding ability."

"That only works in exams. Can you get away with it in other situations?"

"So...what of the knowledge you've learned in high school can be used in other situations?"

"This is part of basic education. It helps to discover talents, cultivate interests, and hone abilities. It's a necessary process for building a thinking framework." Yukinoshita's cheeks puffed slightly. "The problem-solving process itself is training problem-solving skills, which will be very important in the future."

"Test-taking skills are developed through this process, reflecting logical thinking and the ability to simplify difficult problems," Dong Yunshan said, highlighting the key point. "Compared to being confined to the test paper, this involves thinking about problems from a higher perspective and demonstrating a higher level of ability."

“It’s a cop-out about a problem that could be solved.”

"I rather see it as a courageous confrontation with an unsolvable problem."

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and said, "But this isn't a test. Kawasaki-san wants to know how to do a question like this."

"I told her how to do this question." Dong Yunshan paused. "I can't tell her in the exam room, right?"

"Gu..." Yukinoshita Yukino stared at him dissatisfiedly.

Dong Yunshan looked at her without hesitation.

Looking at the two people with affection, Saki Kawasaki was a little uncertain.

Are these two people bickering or about to kiss?

Then they both suddenly turned their heads at the same time and stared at her.

It was discovered!

Did they know what I was thinking?

Kawasaki Saki even felt guilty for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"It's time for the referee to take the court." Yuigahama Yui was very familiar with this situation. "Who do you think is right?"

Am I also a part of it... Saki Kawasaki felt as helpless as if she was holding a watermelon and watching people quarreling, but the watermelon in her hand was snatched away by one of them and thrown at the other.

"It's still important to master the knowledge, after all, the application range of skills is limited." Kawasaki Saki coughed lightly, "But the midterm exam is coming soon, and with limited time, I still hope to master some small tricks that will be useful in the future."

I want them all.jpg

Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino looked at each other again, then turned to look the other way.

When these two people work together, one can stab the other in the back, but when they quarrel, neither of them will give in.

Saki Kawasaki really couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

Study time passed quickly and it was time for the reading club to end.

Several people packed up their things and walked out of the school.

"Oh right," Dong Yunshan suddenly remembered something: "Whose turn is it to get lunch tomorrow?"

"I'll make it tomorrow." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him. "What are you eating?"

"I want to eat teriyaki chicken drumsticks."

"understood."

Hearing the two people's natural conversation and looking at their backs as they walked away, Saki Kawasaki was thoughtful.

"Saki-Saki?" Yuigahama Yui asked, "What's wrong?"

"I figured out one problem, but now I have a new one."
