Survive in Azure Files

"I guess heads. What about you?"

"...You are such a bad person," she murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito. "You are such a bad person."

Taking the ornament from my hand, Yazi snorted coldly and put it on reluctantly.

Chapter 29: The reputation of the Justice Commission may be damaged.

In the morning, I ate the breakfast made by Yazi and praised her generously:

"I didn't expect that such a simple person like Yazi actually has such talent."

"Are you looking down on me?" She was narrow-minded, but she didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, she looked at me coldly, "As an administrator of the Discipline Committee, such a small matter is not worth mentioning to me! Also, please don't talk to me during meals!"

I nodded: "Oh."

After a while, I thought of a good topic and asked, "By the way, how is the Eden Treaty going?"

"I told you not to talk to me during dinner! Didn't you listen?"

Yazi said angrily.

Is it possible that I listened to it completely and remembered it in my heart, so I continued to talk on purpose?

"Really? I have to go back to the Discipline Committee later..." Yazi muttered, then sighed and continued to explain, "It's still the same as before. The hatred between Gehenna and Trinity has accumulated for so many years, and it can't be easily resolved."

She took a bite of bread and continued to complain, "When the president of the Federation Student Union was there, everyone was willing to believe the picture she painted, but unfortunately, she disappeared at the most critical moment. Once the treaty was shelved and wanted to be implemented, all the originally negotiated contents had to be overturned and started over again. The difficulty of the negotiations was even higher than before, and all kinds of new problems emerged one after another..."

After a long and eloquent speech, Yazi finally stopped with satisfaction and made a summary:

"Now, you should understand how hard it is for us! Not only do we have to fight with the venomous snakes of the tea party, but we also have to guard against the backstabs launched by the raccoon cats of the Pantheon for inexplicable reasons!"

"You guys really work very hard..." I sighed sincerely. Just by listening to some of the incidents, I can understand how difficult it is for the Discipline Committee.

"It's good that you know!" The girl snorted and warned, "So, as the person in charge of Xialai, you have the authority beyond the legal scope, please be more aware of this. Don't be deceived by people with ulterior motives and cause trouble for Chairman Hina who is pushing this matter with all his strength!"

I responded by saying, "Don't worry. If I encounter a similar situation again, I will ask you to advise me."

Yazi smiled smugly: "Hehe. I really can't do anything about you, if you ask me sincerely. But you have to be grateful to me!"

"Yes, yes. Yazi is the best."

"What? How perfunctory!"

Although there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words, the girl couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips, which made her true mood obvious.

After breakfast, she hurriedly said goodbye and left without even taking a break. Her serious and responsible attitude towards work infected me.

How could I be so much outshined by a mere girl?

So, with such enthusiasm, I completed today's official business in just one morning.

But compared to usual, I didn't have the time to take a short rest today before setting off for Trinity.

The first make-up exam will start after the lunch break and last for ninety minutes. The papers will then be immediately sent to the supervisory department under the Tea Party for expedited marking.

Therefore, the results can be announced on the same day.

Compared with Trinity's usual work efficiency, we can see the importance that the Tea Party places on the cram school, and Nagisa, as the host, cares for the juniors with poor academic performance.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Nagisa is really jealous and does not want me to spend too much time with other students. In fact, this possibility is higher.

Who told me to be so handsome that this always elegant and calm young lady couldn't suppress the emotions growing in her heart?

Although I now have some subtle doubts about some situations, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to meet Nagisa tonight and communicate with her face to face.

Anyway, after lunch, I immediately rushed to Trinity and arrived at the tutorial classroom half an hour before the exam started.

When I arrived, I found that the members of the cram school seemed to have arrived very early and were doing their final review intensively.

Hearing my footsteps, the girls all looked up at the same time.

Turning my gaze, I took in their expressions at the moment one by one:

Koharu who tries to be calm, Hifumi who is uneasy, Azusa who is calm and composed, Hanako who is unpredictable...

Their respective personalities are also reflected in this.

I secretly sighed that this small cram school was filled with beautiful girls with distinct personalities. Or maybe it was because of this that they had the opportunity to gather together.

"Everyone," at this moment, I don't seem to have much else to say except the simplest encouragement, "Calm down and keep going!"

Xiaochun shuddered, "Of course! I'll show you what the elite of the Justice Committee should be capable of!"

I looked at her, hesitant to speak.

I just hope that after this exam, the rest of the people in the cram school won't develop any prejudice against the Justice Committee because of this sentence.

"Ah, ahahaha... I'll try my best." Hifumi smiled awkwardly, still looking a little worried.

Hanako smiled and said, "Haha~Okay~"

Azusa finally nodded, "It's perfectly prepared."

Seeing that they were all in good condition, I said hello to them and left the classroom first.

In order to avoid suspicion, the invigilation work was assigned by the Tea Party. I came here early, and this was all I could do, but this was my purpose.

During the time when the make-up exam was going on, I had nothing to do, so I went to the cathedral, wondering if I could see Mary and pray with her, or Sakurako.

However, the convent seemed particularly busy today, and all I saw were nuns I didn't recognize.

Just as I was about to leave, a nun with gorgeous black curly hair and scarlet eyes, a figure in sharp contrast to her innocent and childish face, and carrying a huge suitcase in her hand, stopped me tentatively and asked cautiously if there was anything she could help with.

I was also curious why she was not busy, and I felt that this nun looked particularly friendly, so I started chatting with her.

"Ah, so you are Xia Lai's teacher. I am Wakaba Hinata... I am usually in charge of the management of the temple and other items, so I am temporarily free now..."

The nun named Hinata, who had already known my purpose, hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, how about I lead you in praying? Although I'm not in charge of this, I have practiced it privately!"

I had no reason to refuse her kindness and readily agreed.

Under Hinata's guidance, the prayer went on with some bumps, but overall there were no problems.

Except for one thing.

After finishing my prayers, I left the cathedral, looking at my hand that Hinata had held, and then at the sudden drop in the power of the Shiting Box, and fell into deep thought.

...What is going on here?

Chapter 30 Such a wonderful ending

I returned to the cram school on time and ran into the invigilator, who was wearing the uniform of the Tea Party Guard and holding a file bag containing the test papers, walking out of the classroom.

She nodded slightly to me, and then whispered: "Teacher, Master Nagisa asked me to tell you that we will prepare the best tea and snacks tonight, waiting for your visit."

"Thank you."

I walked past him and entered the classroom, saying softly, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work on the exam."

The girls all looked at me again, and I paid attention to their expressions. Azusa and Hanako didn't look any different from before, but the other two were different.

"Teacher!" Hifumi smiled happily, no longer worried, and said to me excitedly, "This time, the test questions are almost all the questions I did during the tutoring period! The content that the teacher explained and the questions that we studied together are almost all the same... and the difficulty level is still at the basic level!"

I nodded when I heard the good news reported by Hifumi.

In this way, the tea party was indeed a complete slack-off. It was so simple that it would be difficult to fail.

However, my eyes involuntarily turned to the petite figure beside Hifumi, who was shrinking more and more. "Oh? Is that so?"

The head of the cram school, who was too excited to notice the members' abnormality, nodded heavily and said, "Yes! This way, everyone will surely pass the exam!"

Before the exam, someone said that he would let everyone see the elite strength of the Justice Committee. Then he silently spread the wings above his head, covering his face and leaving only his tightly pursed lips exposed.

It looks like we're going to join a training camp.

I bypassed Koharu for now and looked at the white-haired girl who was so calm that it made me feel relieved: "Azusa, what's the situation?"

“There is hope that it will pass, but we cannot slack off until the results come out.”

Hearing this, there was a hint of approval in my eyes.

With such a serious attitude towards learning, why worry that she won’t be able to pass the make-up exam?

"Haha~ And me~"

Before I could ask, Hanako raised her hand and said meaningfully, "Thanks to the teacher's unremitting encouragement, I think I can get a score that matches what the teacher taught me this time, right?"

"Oh, that's great."

Knowing that Hanako failed the exam simply because she did poorly on purpose, I moved my head up and down perfunctorily.

Hanako just smiled and didn't take my attitude seriously.

I clapped my hands and said seriously, "As Zi said, before the results are announced, the cram school activities still need to proceed normally. Do you still remember the questions we just took?"

Hifumi said awkwardly: "If I flip through the book now, I should be able to remember some of it..."

"It's okay, I'll help too~"

"Ah, thank you, Hanako-chan."

I continued, "Then please find the test questions from the exam and review them with Xiaochun and Zi."

"Okay, I know."

Putting away her excitement, Hifumi obediently opened the book and murmured, "I remember it was..."

Hanako was the same, but in comparison, she was much more casual. I wondered if she had memorized all the questions and was hiding her incompetence, planning to just do some work to make up for the gaps.

The other two took advantage of this opportunity to study diligently.

Seeing the Shaoya girls living in harmony and moving forward hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel sincerely gratified and looking forward to it.

The exciting dormitory life with them is about to begin!

I still remember a term, "suspension bridge effect".

When a girl is facing the crisis of failing the entrance exam and is in a relatively isolated space from the outside world, she will naturally become attached to me, who she is with day and night and is so excellent in all aspects. The speed at which her good impression and trust are established will surely increase several times compared to usual!

Maybe, it is not impossible to conquer all four at once... No, it is very likely!

I really don't know how to thank Nagisa and Mika for giving me this opportunity.

Find an opportunity to conquer them as soon as possible as a reward!

Time flies as we imagine a better life in the future.

Not long after, I heard a symbolic knock on the door. Another tea party guard stood at the door and said politely:

"Teacher, please come with me."

So I followed him out of the classroom and into the corridor, where he took out a sealed file bag:

"This is a copy of the first make-up exam paper of the tutorial department. Please keep it safe. If you have any questions about the exam results, you can contact us at any time for inquiry."

"You've graded it so quickly?" I was quite surprised. At the same time, I could sense from their attitude how much the Tea Party values ​​the cram school. "Thank you very much."

"No, this is my job."

The guard paused, "There is one more thing. Lord Nagisa asked me to tell you, please do not forget the meeting tonight."

I actually asked two people in a row to tell me the same thing?

It seems... Nagisa really misses me and is thinking of taking the opportunity to meet me.

Perhaps, just like Ako, Nagisa, who was busy with matters related to the Treaty of Eden, also accumulated a lot of pressure.

"I understand. I will be there on time."

After giving the reply, I returned to the classroom with the file bag, called Hifumi up, and announced it together.

Hifumi was a little nervous when she heard the test results, but she still smiled brightly, shouldered her responsibilities as the club leader, and explained to the members:

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Well, it seems that as long as you get 100 points out of 60, you will pass! Even if you don't get a high score, as long as you are above that limit, you will be fine. Then, let's start announcing the results! Teacher, I'm counting on you!"

I nodded, opened the file bag, and informed everyone except Hanako of the results of the first make-up exam one by one under their nervous gazes:

"Hifumi, 70 points. Passed."

It wasn't a high score, but it was enough to pass the make-up exam. I thought to myself that maybe Hifumi had to help me and others, which delayed her studies.
