The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

He hadn't had the thought of secretly amazing everyone since high school!

"Iori?"

"Yeah, I've never seen him study at home. He's always just drinking!"

Without hesitation, she blurted out, "To be honest, Kitahara Iori has never seen Yu bring his schoolbag into the store, which eliminates the possibility of Dark Scroll from the very beginning."

"Hey! What are you doing? Are you putting on a courtroom drama?"

"Count us in! After the interrogation, just take us to the back hill and bury us, okay?"

The number of familiar scumbags has increased! And these bastards are even more brutal than Nojima Gen! They wanted to bury him for fun without saying anything.

However, every cloud has a silver lining. After a moment's thought, Miyazawa Yuu curled his lips into a wicked smile and called out to Mitarai, "Yuu! Studying just by taking notes must be tiring, right? I'll highlight the key points of German for you!"

"Hey! What are you doing! How can you treat Miyazawa Yu like this? As partners of justice, we will absolutely not stand for it!"

Upon hearing that the key points could be redrawn, Mitarai Yu, who had originally planned to collude with Nojima Gen, instantly changed his expression.

Together with Kenta Fujiwara, the two of them each broke one of the chains binding the Demon King and rescued Yu Miyazawa.

"You...you're all scum!!!"

Having finally regained his freedom, the first thing Miyazawa Yu did after breaking free of his restraints was to tear off his clothes and lock Iori under his arms, then brutally abused him.

If it weren't for that bastard suggesting that Chisa cheat, I wouldn't have been treated like a monkey and interrogated in public for so long!

"Well~ you can take Iori home and play with him if you want, Yu! Hurry up and highlight the important points for us! The shrinking process will take time!"

Completely lacking any sense of responsibility as a companion, Kohei Imamura sat back down and looked at Iori, who had been tormented and made a mess, without any pity.

Instead, he urged Miyazawa Yu to get to work quickly, so as not to cause any problems during tomorrow's exam.

Miyazawa Yu was annoyed, but he wasn't about to renege on his promise: "Give me the notebook, you owe me a favor, you know!"

"No problem! We're best friends! What's the important part? Let me see!"

Chapter 81 Chisa, you don't want to fail your exam either, do you?

"Om-"

The printer was surrounded by a group of scumbags. Any other students who got too close would feel physically uncomfortable from the evil aura emanating from these guys, so naturally no one came to cause trouble.

Ten minutes later, dozens of miniature printed cheat sheets were freshly produced, averaging three per person, which would at least allow them to get a passing grade.

"Everyone! First of all, let's thank Comrade You for his selfless dedication, otherwise we would have had to print a full sixty pages of notes."

"Oh!!!"

Watching this group cheer insincerely, while their hands didn't slow down at all, they quickly divided up all the cheat sheets in a few seconds.

Slurping his ice cream, Miyazawa Yu's eyes were like he was looking at maggots, but forced by the sheer number of these bastards, he could only mumble a disdainful remark: "You're welcome, it's all my fault..."

"However! Now we face a new problem!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Nojima Gen pressed one hand to his face, his narrow eyes scanning the crowd through his fingers as he asked, "How should we bring these things into the exam room?"

"This is not easy!"

As she spoke, Yu Mitarai took out a roll of double-sided tape from her bag and, without any hesitation, pasted her cheat sheets side by side onto the pencil case.

"Oh! That's a very simple way to cheat. Are you still in elementary school?"

"Shut up, you hardworking traitor! I won't allow you to tarnish the art of cheating! Methods have to be simple and practical to work, understand?"

"Ugh……"

No matter how you look at it, you can't find any advantage to this elementary school student's cheating method. After all, Miyazawa Yu has never cheated before, so he can only look at the others with a troubled expression.

"And what about you? What brilliant ideas do you have?"

"Hmph, then you'd better watch carefully. Just stick the cheat sheet inside the drink bottle..."

"No, no, no! It's so hot, I need to bring a towel! Only such necessities won't arouse suspicion! So I should stick it on the towel!"

"Oh! Nojima, what about you? They're almost out of double-sided tape!"

Looking at the world, I don't know if this is considered an unusual type of poor student's stationery, but Miyazawa Yu was shocked by the various cheating methods of this group of scumbags.

The tiny double-sided tape has been used in so many creative ways! Although they're basic, they all look quite useful!

"Ha, the purity is too low!"

He pushed up his glasses with a cold laugh. To Nojima Gen, this kind of low-level operation was as laughable as a child learning to speak.

"My method! It's inside the bowl!"

"One night? Are you going to cram for this all night?"

"No! It's inside the wrist! That is, clamping it with your arm!"

Ahh~ It's a Chinese pun. This thing, which isn't even in katakana, only made Miyazawa Yu look like he suddenly realized it.

Everyone else felt a sudden gust of Siberian cold air pass through them—this joke was absolutely terrible!

"Kitahara, what about you?"

"I simply stuck it inside the fan. Kohei is right, we still have to choose inconspicuous necessities!"

"Then I'll just stick it inside my clothes... Damn! You guys could use less double-sided tape! It's completely gone now!"

"Let's just make do with this!"

With a sinister smile, Iori, who was already safe, no longer cared about Fujiwara Kenta's life or death. All the cheaters gathered and raised their fists.

"Everyone! For a wonderful summer vacation, let's persevere to the end and get our grades!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"...What are they doing?"

Unbeknownst to him, Miyazawa Yuu was already standing with Chisa, and he shook his head helplessly as he looked at the noisy crowd.

"They're all just unfortunate people struggling against fate..."

"Are you an idiot?"

"Yeah! He's an idiot!"

He covered his face with his hands, wondering why he had associated with this group in the first place!

Back then, Miyazawa Yu was at least a prominent figure in Tokyo, if not a big name. Now, he's become irreplaceable trash. Life is truly unpredictable!

The next day, at the German exam site.

Sitting in the last row, Miyazawa Yu glanced at the German teacher on the podium, whose style was clearly different from the others, and felt that Iori and the others might be in trouble this time.

It is well known that Germans are known for their meticulousness. There is a saying that the three years of studying in Germany may be the longest seven years of your life.

"...Gu!"

The cheating gang, including Kitahara Iori, were on high alert, sweat beading on their foreheads. The proctor's aura was so strong that it put immense psychological pressure on them.

"Now, everyone, please put your pencil cases away!"

"!"

With a thud, Mitarai Yu slammed his head on the table. Before the exam even started, he happily typed "GG" and could only beg Yamamoto next to him to show him the answers.

The latter took a sip of water, adopted a haughty posture, and had an arrogant expression that suggested he wouldn't listen to the elders.

"Secondly, eating and drinking are prohibited, so all beverages must be put away!"

"puff!"

A mouthful of water sprayed all over the back of Imamura Kohei's head, and Yamamoto Shinichiro angrily crushed the beverage bottle.

But under the teacher's intimidation, he dared not act rashly and could only look at Iori with his bright, sparkling eyes.

"……Wonderful!"

Watching the cheating group's stunt from start to finish, Miyazawa Yu clapped his hands under the table like a seal.

Seeing how confident they were, I thought this group was going to act in a spy movie.

But now it seems that as long as Iori participates, no matter how high the ratings are, it will eventually turn into a pure comedy.

"Alright, start answering the questions now. Once you're done, you can hand in your paper. Now..."

After reading out all the exam instructions, the German teacher, with his bright, piercing eyes, announced: "The exam is now beginning!"

"We're handing in our papers!!!"

The two guys who had already given up on themselves stood up instantly and left gracefully as soon as the exam started, adding a layer of panic debuff to everyone else.

Even Chisa frowned unconsciously after receiving the test paper—it was too difficult, not just ordinary difficult!

For a second language exam, if the average difficulty level is 100, this one should be around 60, but this one clearly exceeds 120! Are there really people who seriously study German...?

"Swipe brush-"

Just as she was about to say that no one would pass this exam, Kotegawa Chisa turned her head slightly and was surprised to find that Miyazawa Yu next to her had already started writing, and was writing at an extremely fast pace.

Before five minutes had passed, all the multiple-choice questions were filled in. She couldn't help but reach out and poke You's shoulder twice, whispering a reminder: "Pay attention to the questions. Even if they're difficult, just do your best. There's no need to give up!"

"Hmm? Oh, don't worry~ This level of German is no different from Japanese to me."

Chisa categorized him as one of Iori's useless ones, Miyazawa Yu explained with a wry smile, but his hands didn't slow down at all, and the swish of the page turning surprised everyone!

As we all know, there are two most terrifying situations during exams: when everyone else has turned the page but you haven't, or when everyone else has stopped writing but you're still writing!

"Wait a minute... Yu, don't you even need to read the question carefully?"

For Iori, it was only natural that someone could write faster than her, but for Chisa, witnessing the gap in skill firsthand completely shattered her mentality.

More important than mindset is that I haven't even clearly seen the answers on the previous page!

"How about this, You, go back to that page and check it?"

Her attitude underwent a subtle change. Considering the possibility of failing the course, Chisa Kotegawa bit her lip and couldn't help but have some ulterior motives.

"It's okay, I have to go back and make lunch for Nana-chan later, and there are also guests to experience this afternoon, so I have to hurry..."

Before he could finish speaking, Miyazawa Yu's hand was suddenly pressed down on the spot. When he looked up, he saw that Chisa's cheeks were already burning red.

Considering the other party's behavior just now, he immediately realized why Chisa was trying so hard to make him turn back to the previous side.

His expression instantly turned playful. How could he let such a good opportunity slip by? With a gentle smile, he threatened softly, "Nanaka-nee, one secret in exchange for one interview paper! No bargaining!"

"!!!"

Using her sister's secret to get better exam results! That's despicable, but...

Exhaling a deep breath of hot air, and with Miyazawa Yu constantly turning the pages of the test paper, Kotegawa Chisa's eyes welled up with tears.

"Hey~ don't hold back anymore, come and see!"

"Gulp! No, you can't do that!"

"Really? But if I fail, I'll have to retake the exam, which means I won't be able to go on a summer vacation diving trip; I'll just have to stay in my room..."

With a voice that could tempt one to commit a crime, Miyazawa Yu leaned down and whispered in Chisa's ear, "I've always been learning Democracy!"

"!!!"

Everyone else is going diving, but I'm staying home studying German and stuff—no way!

Her lips trembled, and when she looked up and saw that the teacher wasn't looking in her direction, two clear tears slid down Kotegawa Chisa's face—I'm sorry, sister, Chisa has no other choice.

Chapter 82: I can no longer remain calm!

"..."

On the afternoon of the exam, at the Grand Blue store, Nanaka Kotegawa was wiping the dirty dishes from her lunch, but her shoulders kept hunching over because of the intense gazes she was being stared at.

This situation has continued for about an hour, from the start of our meal until now without any sign of abating.

Helpless, for the sake of her neck and shoulder health, she could only look at Miyazawa Yu with a puzzled expression and ask, "Um, Yu?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Nana-chan?"

Without a second thought, Miyazawa Yu mechanically scrubbed the plate, his eyes still fixed on Kotegawa Nanaka's chest.

"Um... is there anything dirty stuck to me?"

Her skin burned from the intense gaze, and Nanaka Kotegawa blushed as she covered her chest.

Seriously! What's wrong with Yu all of a sudden? Why is she acting so strangely after just going out to take an exam?
