Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Previously, Natsukawa Masami could barely be considered a fellow Daoist, able to communicate with him as an equal. Now, he is nothing more than an insignificant ant, like dust.

As for myself... I have reached a completely new level.

Hayakawa narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling as if his whole body was becoming light and airy, as if he were about to ascend to the celestial realm at any moment.

Natsukawa Masaki, standing nearby: "???"

How badly did you do on the exam? You look so hopeless.

……

"a ha ha ha!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"

Shocking! A strange laugh suddenly came from the men's restroom on the second floor of the Ichinose Academy school building, which had been peaceful. Was it a suspicious person breaking in or a supernatural event?

The surrounding students were terrified and hid away, and some even wanted to call the teacher over to see what was going on.

Not long after, Hayakawa came out of the restroom, looking calm as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the classroom, only to run into May.

"Hayakawa-kun, so you were outside. That explains why I didn't see you in the classroom."

May breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Hayakawa, then said nervously, "I'm telling you, my classmates just told me about a paranormal event that happened in the restrooms on this floor. A very scary sound kept coming from inside. I heard from others that it sounded like the laughter of a psychopathic killer in a movie. Many students have already taken their teachers to see it."

"Is that so?"

Hayakawa paused slightly, then nodded calmly: "Luckily I wasn't over there."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, anyway I'm not going over there."

In May, she changed the subject, revealing an expression of immense joy: "I did much better on the test this time than before."

"Really? Let me see."

Hayakawa reached out his hand to May and said those words again.

"Ah... okay then."

May felt a little shy. She was embarrassed to show her grades to a top student like Hayakawa, but after hesitating for a moment, she handed them to Hayakawa and whispered, "Then you have to show me your grades later too."

"Go ahead and watch."

Hayakawa didn't care at all when he received the May report card. He just wanted others to know his results so that more people would know how much progress he had made.

Hayakawa glanced at the report card. He knew the five sisters' previous scores, which were mostly in the single digits. Yotsuba even got a zero on an English test once, which Hayakawa simply couldn't understand. May was the best among the five sisters, but her scores in each subject only fluctuated between the teens and twenties, at most in the thirties, which was still a bit far from the passing grade.

But this time, she scored over 30 points in every subject, and even in math, which she usually memorizes the most, she scored 45 points, which is above the passing grade (the passing grade at Ichinose Academy is 40 points). This improvement is quite significant.

Although the improvement in each subject was only a seemingly insignificant ten or so points, when added together, it was extraordinary. No wonder May was so happy; her eyes even reddened when she saw the results.

"great progress."

Hayakawa returned the report card to May, giving her a praising look.

"This is the highest score I've ever gotten in my life... When I first transferred here, the test papers were too difficult for me to adapt to, and I even got single digits several times."

When May met Hayakawa's gentle gaze, her eyes immediately welled up with tears again. She lowered her head and kept wiping her eyes, then bowed deeply to Hayakawa: "Thank you, Hayakawa-kun, for letting me experience the fruits of my labor for the first time, sob sob..."

"keep it up."

Hayakawa offered a word of encouragement, then his face darkened: "And stop crying. If others see this, they'll think I'm bullying you. Do you want to ruin my reputation?"

"what…"

May was startled and hurriedly wiped away her tears, then looked up and grinned.

Looking at May's tear-streaked face and the forced smile on her lips, Hayakawa fell silent.

It looks more like they were bullied...

"Yes, that's right."

Seemingly realizing that her appearance was somewhat undignified, May quickly suppressed her smile, stretched out her small hand to Hayakawa, and said expectantly, "Give it to me, you promised to show me your grades."

"Look."

Hayakawa didn't back down and silently gave the report card to May.

May only glanced at it, and her expression immediately froze.

A perfect score in math?

After glancing silently at her score of 45, and then at the bright red score of 100 in early spring, the last trace of a smile on May's face vanished completely.

I don't seem so happy anymore.

"Hey, Hayakawa is really amazing, even though she got 100 points."

Nakano Satsuki raised her eyes and spoke in a completely emotionless tone.

"It's okay."

Hayakawa did not become complacent because of the small improvement in her grades. Instead, she took the opportunity to encourage May: "Although you have made great progress this time, don't relax. Keep up the good work in the future."

"Ok!"

May immediately straightened her back, like soldiers being inspected, but then her composure crumbled in an instant, and she came over to Hayakawa with a grin: "How about I treat you to dinner again today?! Let's go to that ramen shop!"

"Absolutely not going."

……

Did you achieve such remarkable results with just a little effort? Truly, gifted people are different.

On his way home, Hayakawa carefully examined his report card, paying particular attention to the bright red number, before finally putting it away with satisfaction.

Defeating Natsukawa Masashi is no longer enough for Hayakawa. He is no longer satisfied with this small step forward and is now looking towards a broader horizon.

The next target is a hamster girl who lives next door.

But with such great progress this time, maybe I've already surpassed her?

Hayakawa thought about it seriously and realized that his level was still a little lacking.

So I often underestimated Doma Umaru, but her grades are really impressive. In fact, her scores in each subject are very close to full marks, consistently above 97 points. She is undoubtedly the second best student in the college's arts and sciences. In some fantasy worlds, that would be the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

So although Hayakawa is very ambitious now, he has to admit that he is still slightly inferior.

But it's okay, you have to eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time, Hayakawa isn't in a hurry.

Chapter 540: Dinner

As long as you keep working hard, you will succeed sooner or later.

Hayakawa felt a surge of excitement. This achievement greatly encouraged him, finally making him realize that hard work pays off. If he could maintain this, it wouldn't be impossible for him to defeat the Wenli Duo and return to the Supreme Realm.

Ichinose Academy, your king is coming back.

"Hey...cough cough,"

Hayakawa almost laughed, but he held it back and maintained his serious demeanor.

Now is not the time to laugh. Years of hard work and humiliation have taught him a lesson: the moment you think you are closest to success is often the moment you are most likely to fail. So he will not slack off until he succeeds.

But now that the exams are over, and I don't need to go to Nakano's house for extra lessons today, it's okay to go home and rest.

"Um…"

After thinking for a moment, Hayakawa decided to go home and get a good night's sleep.

……

As soon as Hayakawa got home, he saw a familiar figure.

"You're back, junior."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's petite body was lying on the wall. When she heard the door open behind her, she didn't even turn her head back. She just swung her snow-white legs to indicate that she had heard it, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Although you have told me several times not to come to your house without permission, I still opened the door and came in without your permission."

"..."

Then you should listen to it.

Hayakawa silently hung his clothes on the closet door, ignoring the loli-like senior who was lying nonchalantly on the sofa. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and noticed that she seemed to be reading a popular manga, so he looked away.

"Don't look angry."

When Ayame Komi saw that Hayakawa was silent, she reacted and turned to comfort Hayakawa, saying, "I knew you finished your final exams today, so I came to keep you company. After all, it's winter break, and I just finished a whole week of exams. I was so tired, how could I not relax to my heart's content?"

"I do not need."

Hayakawa, with a cold expression and head held high, said, "Even if I had to take the final exam again now, I wouldn't feel tired."

"Fine, you're the best, okay?"

Komi Nami pouted, but couldn't help feeling a little envious of Hayakawa.

Compared to Hayakawa, who is still in her first year of high school, Ronin, who has repeated a year, is the one with the real time pressure and needs to work twice as hard. However, Ayame can never concentrate. If she could work as hard and tirelessly as Hayakawa, she would have been admitted to a national medical university long ago, and wouldn't even need to repeat a year.

"So envious..."

Kominami Aizami looked at Hayakawa with a wistful gaze, stretched out her small hand and said, "Junior, let me use your tireless body, and your head too, and then give me 100,000 yen!"

"It's no use!"

Hayakawa's face darkened, and he reached out to slap the hand that Mimi Aizawa was reaching out to him.

Are you a beggar? And you're practically robbing people and you only want 100,000 yen? That's pathetic! Your pauper aura is instantly exposed!

"Give it to me! Give ...

Rejected, Ayame instantly turned into a broken record, chattering incessantly beside her. Her small body rolled around on the sofa, and her behavior was completely inconsistent with her status as a senior student, rather than her elementary school student figure.

"It's so noisy..."

Hayakawa covered her ears, somewhat helplessly saying, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I'll treat you to dinner. You can have whatever you want to eat tomorrow, okay?"

"real or fake."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng immediately stopped making a fuss, and her beautiful violet eyes lit up with a gorgeous light.

"real."

Hayakawa replied with a single word, his expression blank.

"Hmm... While it's tempting to have a junior treat me to a meal, I have other requests."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng hesitated for a moment, then said with some regret, "Let's choose another one."

Hayakawa immediately became alert and tentatively asked, "What is it?"

"Come play games with me later."

With just one sentence from Mimi Aizawa, Hayakawa's face turned as black as coal, and she was about to refuse without hesitation. However, her next sentence made Hayakawa's expression change, and she swallowed back the refusal that was about to come out.

"Let's go next door."

Aimi Nami smiled and said, "It's at Umaru's house."

"Ah."

Hayakawa definitely didn't want to agree at first. Playing games was the most boring thing, and it would waste precious study time. He had originally planned to take a nap and then immediately start studying again. How could he possibly play computer games?

However, when Minami Azumi suggested going to Umaru's house, Hayakawa was somewhat tempted.

He wanted to see Umaru's grades and figure out how to surpass them.

"Go, go, go, go..."

When Ayame saw that Hayakawa wasn't saying anything, she assumed he was unwilling and that he was a pervert. She kept grabbing his arm and shaking it, her little face full of pitiful pleading.

"OK then."

Seeing this, Hayakawa readily agreed. Kominami Aizami instantly showed joy and then immediately demonstrated to Hayakawa what it meant to change one's expression.

"Okay!"

When Ayame saw Hayakawa agree, she immediately let go of the arm she had been holding, and the cute expression she had been putting on vanished instantly. She sprawled out on the sofa like she had no bones, reverting to the lazy look she had when she first entered: "I'm so tired from laughing, my facial muscles are a little sore. Honestly, I told you to just agree. Hesitating like that isn't manly at all. Are you trying to take advantage of me? You lewd junior."

"..."

"I said…"

Hayakawa asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind now?"

"Don't worry, although my junior has a lewd look in his eyes, often does vulgar and perverted things, and isn't gentle at all, always likes to hurt cute girls with his words, he's a wooden block destined to be single forever..."
