GAME OVER……

Due to excessive thinking, Danrito burned out and turned into gray-white snow.

"Fully resurrected! Master Danrito da☆ze!"

Even the God of Gaming needs to think before he can break through his past limitations. This isn't just about leveling up to 10 or 20, it's about surpassing the limits of the cartridge itself.

“…Let’s put it aside for now.”

Danrito pushed Wushuang's plan aside, and what he took out this time was the thing that Danrito was most familiar with.

"Chronicle Game Planning."

Kamen Rider Chronicles. The tragic memory of Danrito's painstaking efforts in developing this game, only to have it snatched away by someone else, flooded back, causing him to resent Masamune Dan and Parad once again.

"It's all your fault! I can't experience all my years of hard work with my own hands firsthand! It's all your fault!"

Danrito leaped down from the table and pounded it indignantly. Even now, the thought of this incident still rankled in Danrito. "When did you get the illusion that Kami didn't hold grudges? You're such a petty-minded guy!"

"Sigh... never mind. The chronicle that's already been touched is no longer mine alone." Danrito lowered his head, then immediately perked up: "But! Now I can create a brand new chronicle!"

Set in the magical city of Kivotos, this super game will encompass everyone.

The Warriors game was Danrito's quest for self-improvement, while the Chronicle game was his way of staying true to his roots. However, in this city teeming with students, turning Chronicle into a life-or-death game probably wouldn't work.

"However, the Chronicles game mode can still be ported over. Let's find a way to modify the game content..."

Danrito began squandering his manuscript paper once more, leaving the already heavily damaged room covered in it. More papers, covered in various phrases only Danrito could understand, were carelessly tossed to the floor, only to be covered over with new pages.

"What do you think the president is going crazy about?"

In the work area downstairs, employees who had not yet left after working overtime were holding their "adult-style" food, listening to the loud laughter coming through the ceiling from upstairs, and couldn't help but ask their colleagues next to them in confusion.

"Hey, you'll get used to it. President Danrito isn't someone who doesn't do anything. In fact, he's the main leader of the game department at Dream. That's why all the newly recruited game developers are working incredibly hard, hoping to at least develop a game that can be packaged onto a cartridge, just to prove they're not just freeloaders at Dream."

My colleague, without even looking up, tapped away on his keyboard. "Every time the president laughs like that, he's definitely hunched over in his office, researching new game cartridges. All I know is that we'll have new work to do the next day."

"Really……"

The employee looked up and could still hear rustling noises from the ceiling, but the laughter and shouting had died down considerably. It looked like the design had reached completion, or perhaps it had simply shifted direction temporarily?

The employee patted his face and drank the refreshing drink in his hand. "Even the president is working so hard, I have to work harder too!"

211. First simulation test

"Next up is the first academic proficiency test. I've already got the test paper."

Standing at the podium in the cram school classroom, Danrito patted the paper bag containing the mock academic ability test. This test was meant to gauge the academic performance of the four cram school students. After these two tests, the third one would be the real academic ability test, which would be a real stressful one.

"I'm so nervous..." Hifumi involuntarily straightened her body. "But it should be... okay, right?"

"Why are you so nervous? It's not a real exam." Danrito wasn't a teacher, but since he was serving as an advisor and the only adult present, handing out exams was still within his responsibilities. "It's just a mock test, but considering it's your first one, and you've already used my 'Mystery of the Sphinx' cassette tape to aid your studies..."

At this point, Danrito's eyes narrowed. "Although teaching isn't my forte, I've already said that there's nothing I can't handle with my talents. So, I hope your scores aren't too bad."

A week after the "Mystery of the Sphinx" cassette was put into daily teaching use in the cram school club, everyone in the cram school club - or rather, Hifumi and her cheerful friends, took their first academic ability test together.

"Let me see what's going on...Okay, everyone, take two seats apart and stagger them. I'm going to hand out the exams. Does anyone need to use the restroom?"

The girls before him separated from their usual seats, rotating in the order of the exam. Their expressions varied slightly. Hanako remained cheerful as usual, while Hifumi was visibly nervous. Koharu, seemingly remembering her own "teaching" in the gaming field, blushed a trifle, but then remembered that it was exam time, and the blush gradually faded.

As for Azusa, her expression was probably the most resolute of the four. After receiving the "extra reward certification" from the Fairy of the Lake... no, the Cassette Guardian's Collapse Source Body, Azusa had put considerable effort into her studies in order to gain this true power.

Even after leaving the gaming world, he diligently continued to study textbooks and work through exercises, even poring over his tactical notes during meals. With such a determined and diligent attitude, even Hifumi, the head of the Peroro cult, felt embarrassed to drag him into a discussion about Peroro while he was diligently studying.

"Today I will be able to see the results of my studies."

Azusa clenched her fists, trying to cheer herself up. She pulled a Peloro ballpoint pen from her pencil case. It was a "missionary gift" Hifumi had given her when she introduced her to Peloro. According to Hifumi, she had a lot of this commodity at home, and it would be a perfect gift for missionary work.

I still remember that time, Hifumi said with shining eyes: "If Xiaozi likes it, I also have Pelolo's pencil case, eraser, and school bag..."

In short, a lot.

"Xiao Zi, do you have confidence?"

While the test papers were still being unpacked, Hifumi, who was sitting at the front desk, turned around and said to Zi: "Xiao Zi, I've noticed all your hard work this week."

"Could it be that... the learning method of game cartridges is unexpectedly well-suited to Xiaozi?"

At this point, Hifumi's expression suddenly became curious. "Ever since using that game cartridge to study, Xiaozi has become incredibly serious and hardworking. What exactly is the reward for studying, Xiaozi, that would make you work so hard?"

"Um... the tests have been distributed, Hifumi-san."

Danrito distributed the opened exam papers to everyone's desk, then glanced at the wall clock and officially announced the start of the exam. This was a novel experience for Danrito; after all, he wasn't a teacher by any stretch of the imagination. But handing out papers and supervising exam discipline gave him a taste of the profession.

"Hmm...but there's no need to watch cheating or anything like that, right?"

Danrito sat at the podium, his chin resting on his hand, legs crossed, watching Hifumi and the others furiously writing. Danrito had already seen through these students' personalities after a week, so cheating wasn't a concern. He simply wanted to verify the effectiveness of his "Mystery of the Sphinx" cassette as a teaching tool.

"My theory should be fine, but how well someone absorbs it may vary..." Danrito pinched the cassette. "After all, not everyone has my divine talent, and the ultimate benefits can't be guaranteed..."

After his one-day internship with Hanako, Danrito, aside from showing up at the cram school every day to oversee the use of study cartridges, spent his days in the office working on the Warriors game and the Chronicles game. Unfortunately, the former was stuck on a technical bottleneck, while the latter required drastic changes, so the timeline was delayed.

However, unlike the previous crisis where Kronos was chasing him, Danrito undoubtedly had more time now. He didn't need to waste several lives in a single night to catch up. It was just that he had thought too deeply the first time, expending too much energy and suddenly perishing. Over the next few days, Danrito resumed his normal pace.

"Hmm... This question, I think Mr. Pelolo gave me this question in the gaming field..."

Hifumi looked at the test paper in front of her. In fact, Hifumi was not a stupid child. Before she became the leader of Pelolo who was overly obsessed with Pelolo, although Hifumi's grades could not be called excellent, she was at least an ordinary child of average level.

However, after she began to pursue Pelolo madly, not only did Hifumi's grades begin to decline, she also missed several exams - "After all, it's for Pelolo-sama's handshake party, there will be next time for the exam!" This is what Hifumi said.

"I remember that the reward back then was eating cake with Pelolo-sama... so what was the answer to that chestnut cake?"

Hifumi struggled to recall the answer to the question. Considering her fervor for Peroro's intelligence, remembering the question was relatively easy. Simply by briefly recalling Peroro's instructions, Hifumi recalled her thinking process and filled in the answer.

"Perfect!"

212. Teaching Even Monkeys Can Understand

"Then... let Mr. Danrito see my strength."

After receiving information from Danrito that the entire remedial club would be expelled if they failed the academic ability test, Hanako decided to demonstrate her true abilities in this first test simulation. She had been writing constantly since the beginning of the exam, and aside from a few pauses on the questions requiring calculations, none of the other questions stumped Hanako.

Hanako's knowledge wasn't solely acquired through the cassette tapes; even without the bonus tutorials in "Mystery of the Sphinx," she was a very bright student. However, the quiz games she'd been playing over the past few days had helped her consolidate some of the knowledge she'd forgotten, so it wasn't completely ineffective.

"Hmm... the difficulty level seems to be normal."

As Hanako worked on the test, she analyzed the difficulty of the questions. "If the questions are only of this level, why is there such a harsh punishment as expelling everyone if even one person fails?"

Hanako's pen remained steady, answering the questions at a considerable pace while also integrating the limited information Danri Toujo had provided her with her to deduce the truth. She quickly wrote down her answers to the questions before looking up out the window.

"In a school like Trinity, where there are so many factions, the establishment of a new club must be approved by the Tea Club. And the remedial education department was obviously not established voluntarily, but was specially approved by the Tea Club..."

With this thought, Hanako turned her gaze to the three people beside her, pondering the current situation. "Also, the club consists of... a transfer student, a newcomer to the Justice Realization Club, an ordinary student with ordinary hobbies, and... a student who deliberately tests low."

"What connections and similarities do these people have?"

Even a girl as bright as Hanako couldn't quite figure out why they were all gathered together. Logically, none of them seemed to have any overlapping characteristics, so what was the reason for the tea party to gather them together in the "remedial class"?

"If you consider the severe punishment of 'expulsion'..."

Hanako paused for a moment, writing, "The actions taken at the tea party certainly weren't without purpose. In other words—the worst-case scenario, is it that they're hoping to have the four of us 'expelled'?"

"But that doesn't make sense...it's missing the most crucial motive."

Hanako closed her eyes and pondered for ten minutes, but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she shook her head and focused her attention on the paper in her hand.

"Well, let's finish the paper first."

Compared to Hanako's relaxed pace, Koharu, standing beside her, was already sweating profusely. Thanks to this week's study, Koharu seemed to have learned something, and he worked quickly on the first few sections. But as the paper progressed, Koharu's writing speed slowed, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

"Wow... I remember this topic!"

Xiaochun frowned. She had certainly done this math problem before in the gaming field, but she didn't seem to be able to answer it right away that time. After two rounds of 'punishment', she finally answered it after listening to the detailed explanation that even a monkey could understand - there would be rewards for answering correctly and penalties for answering incorrectly!

"It's all over... I only seem to remember the feeling of the reward at that time. The solution to the problem and so on... my memory is a little fuzzy!"

Xiaochun scratched her earlobes awkwardly. To be honest, when she was thinking about this problem, all she could think of was [data deleted]. The solution and formula of the problem were actually a bit fuzzy.

"No, no way! This is only the first mock exam, how can I fail like this!"

Xiaochun's eyes gradually became sharper. "I'm a super elite! How can I lose here? If I'm disqualified as an elite, I won't be able to follow Master Hasumi!"

"Oh right! The NPC in that game taught me how to solve problems—put the ones you don't know aside first, do the ones you know first, manage your time well, and don't overthink it!"

Xiaochun's breath hitched, and she recalled the "test-taking strategies" she'd learned in the gaming field. Her panic gradually settled. She put aside as much of the "data deletion" in her mind as possible. After calming down, she moved on to the next question.

"Great! I know the answer to the next question! I'm the real deal!"

Koharu's expression swung from panic to calm and excitement. She arguably had the most expression changes during exams, and even Danrito couldn't help but take a second look. Even when Koharu encountered something she couldn't do, she didn't immediately consider cheating. These kids weren't bad at heart.

Among the four, Zi's expression was calm most of the time, but when he encountered a question he couldn't answer, he would reveal a hint of solemnity and anxiety.

"Damn it... There are actually questions I can't answer. Am I not working hard enough?"

With a click of his tongue, Azusa pointed his pen at the next question. Judging by their current speed, the fastest person was undoubtedly Hanako, who was using 80% of her ability. The next fastest was Hifumi, and the next fastest, just a little slower than Hifumi, was Azusa.

I still remember when Zi just transferred to Trinity, he didn't even pass the first test. He only scored 100 points out of 23, which was undoubtedly the level of a poor student.

But what I mean is, what others don't know is that before Zi transferred to Trinity, he attended Arian School, but thanks to someone, he didn't have a normal education at all. It's normal for Zi to get such a score.

"Thanks to the teachings of the 'Mystery of the Sphinx' cassette, even I can easily understand that knowledge..."

Azusa took a deep breath, stretched his stiff fingers, and continued writing. "But unfortunately, Mr. Danrito, for our health's sake, doesn't allow 24-hour access to that magical space. And my understanding and absorption of the books I read offline are obviously much worse."

On the first day of using cassettes, students from the four supplementary classes were immersed in the teaching rewards they had set.

On the second day of using the cassette, Zi had already made the voluntary request to shorten the time and extent of the reward.

On the third day, Zi requested that the bonus be removed, hoping to use the saved time entirely for lectures. The complete set of Trinity textbooks, "Mystery of the Sphinx," were loaded. Relying on the teaching function, they were able to break down and detail the knowledge to the greatest extent possible, presenting it to the students in detail. Zi's own unique characteristics meant that the NPC, the source of the collapse, who provided the explanations, was naturally the NPC from the cartridge itself.

"That person has helped me a lot. Even if it's just a mock test, I must get a good grade!"

Zi bit the tip of his tongue lightly, using the pain to stimulate his head, and continued to write.

Taking in the four people's expressions, Danrito nodded with satisfaction and placed Star Guide back into the game. As the seconds ticked closer to 12, Danrito whistled, drawing everyone's attention.

"Time's up, hand in your paper!"

213. The past is the past, and the present is the present!

"I'm so nervous... I wonder what the score will be..."

Hifumi looked at the collected test papers and rubbed her thighs nervously. Koharu, standing beside her, was also very nervous, but she still tried to bolster her courage: "Humph! An elite like me, as long as I give it my all, will definitely pass the Ququ exam!"

"Hmm~ So that's how it is?" Hanako nodded beside her, with the same smile she had when she teased Koharu in the past: "So what kind of score can Koharu-san get this time~"

"This, this is certainly the score an elite deserves!"

Putting down his pen and handing in his paper, Zi felt his nerves finally relax. Like every student who's ever taken an exam, the moment he hands in his paper, no matter how many questions he's answered, the final result is always a relief.

If I had to say it, it would be to withdraw from the state of examination.

"Alright~ Don't leave now, the scores will be out soon!"

Taking advantage of this novelty, Danrito happily began his first time as a teacher grading papers.

"Except for the literature questions, the other questions don't require much effort to correct. Just like this—"

Danrito's eyes swept across the four papers on the table. He scanned them all in the blink of an eye. Math questions, with standard answers, required Danrito to determine correct answers in a fraction of a second. While the literature questions involved subjective judgment, they only took him a little longer.

Dan Lidou took a red pen and circled and checked the questions, circling the correct ones and ticking the wrong ones. His hand was very fast. The results had already been processed in his mind, so he just had to use the red pen to mark them in order.

"Okay, the results are in—!"

Only five minutes had passed, and before Hifumi and the others who were checking their answers could react, the freshly-released scores were already in Danrito's hands.

"Wait, wait, this is too fast!" Hifumi couldn't contain her expression. "At least give us some time to recover from the stress of the exam. How can the results be announced right after we handed in the papers?!"

"It doesn't matter. A sharp knife is essential for killing." Dan Lidou said with a grin, "A dull knife is painful. Rather than letting you spend a whole night in agony, wouldn't it be more direct to announce the results now?"

As he said this, Danrito stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Four large screens appeared behind him, scrolling scores. The names of the four people, Hifumi, were written on each screen, just like the spinning pachinko wheels.
