Hifumi tapped her index finger against her lips. "Let me think, um... 200,000 credits. That's the old price. This set with the shipping box is going for a million credits on the black market now."
"One million credits? Just to buy this?"
Tan Lidou said with a knowing "oh" and placed the chess piece back on the table. "It's so easy to make money from fans. Isn't anyone trying to remake this? It doesn't look like they have any technical skills."
Hifumi shook her head. "Actually, some fans have made replicas, but the copyright is still in the hands of Momo Company, so even if they do make them, they can only be made on a small scale."
She raised her hands and clenched her fists. "And fans are looking at this for its commemorative value. There's a huge difference between a first edition and a reprint! Don't underestimate the thought that goes into it!"

"Speaking of which, the time for the second academic proficiency test is almost here, right?"
Hifumi shifted the chess piece in her hand. "I remember that as long as we pass the academic ability test twice, we can leave the supplementary course club, right? So, if we pass this test, everything will be over?"
"Yes, it is like that."
Zi threw the dice, and it rolled across the table, landing squarely on a 5. She then picked up a Peloro chess piece in the Iron Mountain position and placed it in the "takeoff" position.
"Based on our current academic performance, there's no doubt we'll pass!" Xiaochun said proudly, hands on her hips. "As an elite as I am, I'm sure I'll pass the exam easily!"
Of the five people in the cram school club, only Hifumi and Koharu still don't know the truth about it. Hanako, with her ingenuity, has figured out the truth through clues. As for Azusa, she doesn't want to worry or scare her friends in the cram school club, so she hasn't revealed the truth.
"After successfully passing the final exam in the cram school, they should be able to return to their daily lives."
Azusa looked at the crowd before him, a barely perceptible smile curling up the corners of his mouth. His friends in the cram school were innocent, having nothing to do with Arius's impending "revenge." And it was clear that a storm called Arius was about to arrive, and Azusa felt it was her duty to prevent it.
"We must protect our friends of the Holy Trinity and our friends of Arius. We cannot allow this hatred to become irreconcilable."
Zi touched the cassette in his pocket, his thoughts becoming clearer: "Arius's battle plan is to disrupt the signing of the Eden Treaty between Trinity and Gehenna. The combination of these two established schools will bring a force that no one can ignore. It will also be a disaster for Arius's strategic intentions."
"Then the first priority is to ensure the signing of the Treaty of Eden. To ensure the signing of the Treaty of Eden, the senior officials of Trinity and Gehenna who will definitely be present at the time must be protected."
After clarifying his purpose, Zi nodded to himself, as if agreeing with his own idea.
"With the help of the cassette, my idea has been conveyed to Nagisa at the tea party, and the Justice Committee is fully prepared. There's no reason to fail!"
It seemed to be quite different from the happy atmosphere in the supplementary lessons department. On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Trinity, one of the three students who was always absent from the tea party, Shengyuan Weihua, was holding her mobile phone and staring at the message conversation list on it.
"At the beginning... I just wanted everyone to get along... How did it turn out like this..."
The two people at the top of the message list are Nagisa and Shengya, but these two messages have not been updated for a long time. This means that for a long time, the owners of these two avatars have not sent a word to Weihua.
And the reason behind this, Weihua seemed... as if she knew what was going on.
"Shengya-chan! Nagisa-chan!" Mika excitedly rushed into the daily tea party gathering. "I found a school called Arius in a book! Isn't it also a school of Trinity? Why don't I see any of their students at Trinity?"
"Mika... what outdated book did you get this knowledge from?"
Nagisa put down the tea she almost never put down. She was used to Mika's sudden bursts of enthusiasm every few days. "How long has it been since Arius College was separated from Holy Trinity? You're not just finding out about this now, are you?"
"Ok?"
"Okay, okay, I know you might just know it now."
Nagisa shook his head and sighed, "So? What do you want to do?"
"Why did Arius want to separate from the Holy Trinity?" Weihua blinked in confusion. Shengya beside her said helplessly, "Even people who live under the same sky cannot understand each other."
"Mo..." Weihua puffed up her cheeks: "Shengya-chan always says things that people can't understand. Can't you just speak properly?"

Finally, it was Nagisa who explained for her: "When Trinity merged into one, several colleges opposed this integration. During the final vote, these minorities were eliminated from Trinity College... Isn't this something in history textbooks? Haven't you ever seen it?"
"Ahaha... How is that possible? I just forgot..." Mika laughed awkwardly twice, and then immediately continued: "So, Arius was also a student of Trinity, right? If that's the case, maybe after all these years, they should want to return to Trinity, right?"
"Mika... do you know what you're saying?" Nagisa found herself sighing more often when facing Mika. "Even among the academies that were eliminated, Arius is a school that is quite hostile to the unity of the Holy Trinity. If you want to discuss this with Arius, my advice is to give up the idea."
Weihua was confused: "Why do you say that? Aren't we all students of Trinity? As long as we can sit down and talk to each other, we will definitely understand each other!"
"A drop of water can't extinguish a fire." Shengya, who had been drinking tea quietly until now, finally spoke: "The flames of hatred continue to burn until now, still burning those who are bound."
"Really?! I can't understand what you say every day!" Weihua finally slammed the table and stood up. She glared angrily at Shengya who was sitting across from her: "I know I'm stupid, but you can't bully me like this! Shengya-chan is the big idiot!!"
After saying this, Weihua finally turned around, smashed the wall and rushed out. Shengya behind her had just raised her hand, and the words in her throat were half-finished and had not yet been spoken.
"No flowers..."
Nagisa sighed beside her, "Alas, Mika-san is just like that. You know that, Shengya-san. How could she understand your tone of voice?"
"I can't help it... Because of my ability to predict the future, I'm used to talking like this..."
Shengya lowered her head, her eyes somewhat frustrated: "Did I... make Weihua angry?"
Nagisa was no longer in the mood to drink tea. She just looked at the big hole that Mika had knocked out. "Maybe it's because she has no idea what you are talking about. This one-sided conversation must have made her feel uncomfortable."
"Well... I'll correct it next time." Shengya nodded gently: "Next time at the tea party, I will try to be more careful about what I say."
Afterwards, Weihua did not wait for the next tea party. Instead, she received the tragic news that "Shengya's halo was destroyed and she died."
251. Final Test
As we all know, fools are prone to getting stuck in their own ways.
Especially for someone like Seizono Mika, who is powerful, holds a high position, and is stupid, it is easy for her to keep getting into a dead end if no one tells her what to do.
"This is weird... I just wanted my new friend to teach Seiya-chan a lesson... How did it end up like this?"
Weihua obviously couldn't understand why she just wanted her new friend Arius to teach Shengya, who always liked to speak in riddles that she couldn't understand, a lesson. But from that moment on, everything went off the track she had expected.
Weihua couldn't understand, just as she couldn't understand why everyone disliked her idea of "returning Arian College to Trinity".
"We're all students at Trinity. It shouldn't be difficult for us to understand each other, right? How did it turn out like this?"
No one heard Weihua's mumbling. After repeated self-questioning, Weihua finally came to that conclusion due to her stubbornness.
The result is that since things have come to this point, everyone must hate me, so I might as well just give up.

"I'm sure Arius' new friends are also looking forward to returning to Trinity. In that case, even if we can do just one thing, it would be great..."
As long as I do one thing well, even if it is just to reconcile the Arians and the Trinitarians, it at least proves that I am still trying to solve the problem, right?
------
"Everyone, today is the final academic test. Are you ready?"
Hanako reminded everyone in the cram school club with a smile. Hifumi raised her fist and said confidently, "Everyone is ready!"
"All the stationery is ready, nothing is left out." Zi also had a serious expression: "I also made sure to get enough sleep last night, so I feel very energetic!"
"That's right! I'm in super elite form today! I'll break through on the test and show you!" Xiaochun put her hands on her hips, looking very proud. "My mock test results are also totally fine. As long as I take the test at this level, there won't be any problems!"
"Well, everyone seems quite spirited~" Hanako chuckled and looked towards Danrito on the podium. "Mr. Danrito, I think we can prepare to begin the exam."
The second academic ability test was held in a simple setting in the cram school classroom. The content was at the standard level for a regular exam, so it was supposed to be of a 'normal' difficulty level. The cram school had no reason to doubt it anymore. The identities of the four people had been verified, so there was no need to give them any trouble on the exam.
"Just like what Mr. Danrito said, there's nothing that can't be solved through face-to-face communication."
Sitting in the garden, Nagisa put down her teacup. This had become a habit for her: "Whether it's verbal communication or 'communication' with guns and cannons, it's still a form of communication."
"After all, communication depends on whether both sides are willing to sit down and talk together." Ren Jian of the Justice Enforcement Committee sat beside her, pondering the defenses against the attack on Arius. "Some people initially refused to sit down and talk peacefully, but after showing their guns and giving them a good beating, they became more cooperative."
"Which gym entrance did you read this wise saying from?"
"Huh? Master Nagisa knows this?" Hasumi looked quite surprised. "I thought you didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things?"
"Ahem, it's also to have common topics with the current students." Nagisa coughed twice. "After the last tea party, I also realized the gap between myself and the current Trinity students... Mr. Danrito's advice to me is to interact more with others, observe the current trends in Trinity, and not become an old-fashioned person who can't adapt..."
"Old antique..." Hasumi glanced up and down, "Sir Nagisa, whether in age or appearance, can't be considered an old antique, right?"
"Just an example! I mean from a psychological perspective!" Nagisa pouted angrily. "Hasumi-kun, have you finalized the changes to the defense design?"
"You're still so abrupt in changing the subject, Master Nagisa." Hasumi nodded. "Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, our outposts have basically covered all the points of interest throughout Trinity. We urgently purchased a batch of intelligent surveillance and unmanned combat robots from Millennium to fill the gaps in our personnel. Furthermore, thanks to your lobbying, other societies are also willing to lend a hand if we encounter external enemies."
"Well……"
Nagisa lowered his head in thought, and Renjian beside him asked curiously, "Master Nagisa, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"No, I was just thinking about one thing..."
Nagisa glanced at the empty chair to his left. A regular occupant of that chair, now rarely attending tea parties. As for Danrito's suggestion about the "Trinity Traitor," anyone with a brain no less than a gorilla should have figured it out by now, right?
"whats the matter?"
"How can I get this muscular idiot who can't be beaten and can't understand what I say to him to sit down and listen to me?"
"Ah this..."
Lian Jian was rarely stuck. Reading is to make idiots understand what you say, using larger caliber weapons is to make idiots talk to you calmly. But if the person on the other side is also an idiot, and the caliber of the weapon is also large...
Uh……
Hasumi felt like he had stumbled upon some sophistry: "Master Nagisa, this is an unsolvable question, isn't it? Could such a person really exist?"
"Of course it exists, otherwise I wouldn't be so troubled." Nagisa sighed: "And the deadline for solving this problem is imminent."
The second academic ability test site.
Unlike the first mock test, when everyone except Hanako was scratching their heads and thinking hard, this time they were full of confidence.
The Pelolo ballpoint pen in Hifumi's hand has never stopped writing since she sat down. The sound of writing has almost never stopped. Occasionally, when she encounters a more difficult question, she stops to think for a few seconds and then continues to fill in the answer.
The others were almost the same as Hifumi, except that Koharu, as always, would occasionally show an expression as if she had forgotten something. However, both Hanako and Azusa handled the test paper in front of them fluently and effortlessly.
However, Hanako's upper limit is naturally far more than this. As the saying goes, Hanako was able to score 100 because only 100 points can be scored on a test of this difficulty.

"Hmmmm... this question is..."
Xiaochun was suddenly stuck for a moment when faced with the math problem in front of her. She tapped her head and stared blankly at the chemistry problem in front of her: "This is... a problem that I can't forget..."
"Damn it! I shouldn't have rewarded myself so many times!" Xiaochun slapped his head regretfully. "Now when I think about the questions, my mind is full of images of rewards, uh uh uh——"
Well, well... let's wish Xiaochun good luck, right?
"Time's up! Stop writing and put away your papers!"
When the bell rang, Dan Lidou was the first to jump up from his chair. More than any other student, he was the one most eager to collect the papers. He eagerly approached the students in front of him and held out his hand, "Come on, let me weigh your papers!"
"Quack! Don't touch it!" Xiaochun shouted nervously, "Let me write my name—!"
After all the chaos, the four students' papers were finally collected, and the results were released almost immediately. When Danrito began grading, Koharu slumped over the table and said weakly, "Finally, I've finally finished..."
"Is it that difficult?" Hifumi was a little confused by Koharu's expression. "I think this test is of normal difficulty, right?"
"Well... I was just delayed a little on a few questions inside... But! It's definitely not because I can't solve them!"
Xiaochun muttered, of course, she would never say that her mind almost turned into a mess when she was thinking because of too many "rewards"!
"It seems everyone is pretty confident about their exam results." Hanako still had that same smiling face. Even just now, she had finished the exam the fastest. Originally, Hanako had been negative about the exam because she was extremely disappointed with the current state of Trinity, but now there was no reason to remain negative.
"Of course, if I were to host the next tea party, I'd definitely feel a bit nervous, but wouldn't it feel like I was chosen by someone..."
"Stop it! I feel like this is going to turn into a terrible conversation, so let's just stop now!"
——Nagisa tried her best to stop Hanako. However, this was also Hanako's original strength, she just picked it up again.
"After leaving the cram school club, what should I do next..." Hifumi sat on a chair, thinking about her future life. "I've missed Lord Pelolo's handshake event several times. Although it's fun to eat the replacement meals in the game space, it really feels good to attend them formally. I have to catch up on the anime I missed, and there are also limited edition peripheral products... There may be no way around it, but there must be new models coming out soon..."
"Hifumi-san, you still love Peloro so much." Azusa's expression softened a little. "When the time comes, can you take me with you to the store to buy some goods?"
"Really? That's what I've been asking for!" Hifumi loved hearing people say they wanted to follow the Pelora series. She excitedly grabbed Hifumi's hand and said, "It's a deal then, Xiaozi! Let's follow Pelora together for the rest of our lives!"
"Uh, this..." Zi's eyes evaded a little: "That may be a little unreliable..."
Danrito began writing, paused for a moment, and casually placed the test paper on the table. This academic test wasn't particularly challenging, and based on the scores on the papers before him, there was no need to announce the scores. "No need to announce the scores, just the final results of the supplementary lessons!"
Even though they had already sensed something in their hearts, at this critical moment when the final result was announced, whether it was Hifumi, Azusa and Koharu who were playing around, or Hanako who was sitting quietly with her chin in her hand watching the youth comedy of the three, all cast their eyes on Danrito on the podium.
"Everyone in the remedial course department passed!"
Crossing his arms and leaning back, Danrito loudly announced the results of the supplementary lessons, and the firecrackers and colored ribbons conjured from the game world instantly filled the entire room.
