(Everyone is very serious.)
Ren using his superpower to check others' exam papers, sighed inwardly.
The questions in this exam were much more difficult compared to the previous ones, although for him, the answers were just a quick glance away.
But for Rizu and the others, this was a challenging exam.
Despite that, he believed they could achieve good results due to their dedicated study guidance.
After briefly observing their exam papers, Ren already roughly guessed the outcomes.
Fumino must have scored perfectly in liberal arts; there's no doubt about that.
Next is Yotsuba, followed by Itsuki, Ichika, Miku, and the rest.
Liberal arts is Yotsuba's strong suit; not as good as Fumino, but better than the others.
Itsuki is slightly stronger than Ichika and Miku.
And Ichika and Miku have the same score, so they might end up with identical results.
The questions aren't finished yet, so he can only analyze the current ones.
Lastly, there's Rizu.
Although Rizu has made significant progress, her reading and comprehension skills are still behind, but not far, at least not a significant hindrance.
At most, there's a small gap between her and the others, which isn't significant.
As for Nino, Ren doesn't pay much attention to her since she didn't participate in the competition.
If she wants to join, her results should be on par with Ichika and Miku.
After checking the results, Ren assesses Gabriel's progress on the questions.
(Hmm... She should pass.)
Gabriel didn't lie to Vigne; she can still pass the exam, but performing well might be a challenge.
After reading the exam papers of some people he knows, Ren continues to scrutinize the results of the first-year students in the school, answering questions based on this to avoid acing the exam.
While answering questions slowly, he thinks about what gift he should give to Fumino and the others as a reward.
...
In an instant, the final exam is over.
"I'm so tired after the exam."
Itsuki lies on the table, looking very exhausted.
Although the final exam has ended, the summer vacation won't start immediately.
They have to wait for the results to be announced and the end-of-semester student council meeting before the official start of summer vacation.
"I feel like this time's questions were much harder than before." Fumino approaches and continues, "Fortunately, I sped through this time; otherwise, I might not have had enough time."
"Liberal arts are still a bit challenging." Rizu is still unsatisfied with her speed in solving the questions, "Just a waste of time."
"Kamikawa-kun, how did your exam go?"
After chatting briefly about the difficulty of this exam, Itsuki asks Ren.
Even though she knows this exam doesn't mean anything to him, she still wants to hear his answer.
"Same as the last exam."
Ren looks and says calmly.
"It seems these questions don't mean anything to Kamikawa."
Hearing his answer, Fumino still sighs slightly.
Ren's last scores were average in every subject; if this exam's scores are still average, it's just too much.
But this level of absurdity makes sense when it comes to Ren.
Strangely, it feels right.
"Kamikawa is amazing." Rizu nods in agreement.
"Kamikawa? Kamikawa-kun?"
Gabriel, who is talking to Vigne beside her, notices the name they call Ren.
If she remembers correctly, didn't Itsuki always call him Kamikawa-san before? Why the sudden change?
This makes Gabriel slightly wary.
"Gab, are you sure you'll pass?" Vigne still worries a bit about Gabriel.
"Yeah, don't worry."
Gabriel regains awareness and waves her hand nonchalantly.
"That's good."
...
Night, Nakano residence.
"How did your exams go?"
After dinner, Nino invites the four people sitting on the sofa to rest.
"Okay?"
Itsuki's tone is very soft, and she doesn't seem too confident.
"If I remember correctly, Itsuki's ranking in the last exam wasn't low." Ichika reminds gently, "It makes people feel very uncomfortable to say this now."
"I just asked Kamikawa-kun to take a few lessons before you did. Now that you've all taken lessons, you surely won't be worse than me." Itsuki says confidently.
Miku turns around and looks, whispering, "I feel like Itsuki is showing off when she says this."
"It's not like that."
Itsuki denies quickly.
"Yotsuba, how did your exams go?"
After watching Ichika and Miku mock Itsuki, Nino notices that Yotsuba is silent, so she takes the initiative to ask.
"No, this will feel awkward." Yotsuba scratches her cheek and answers shyly, "It took me a long time to answer many questions."
"It's okay, as long as you worked hard." Nino encourages her at the right moment.
Yotsuba suddenly remembers something and asks, "Nino, what about you? You should have done well in this exam."
"Why are you asking about my results? I didn't participate in your competition."
"I'm just curious. Besides, we also pay a lot of attention to Nino's grades." Yotsuba continues.
"It's fine. I don't know how many tests I can take. Besides, I've already answered all the questions."
After thinking for a moment, Nino gives a vague answer.
"Could Nino be the best among us?" Ichika speculates.
"That's possible."
Because Nino didn't join the competition, Miku isn't worried about the impact of her results on herself.
"Fortunately, Nino didn't join the competition." Itsuki's tone sounds a bit fortunate.
Nino still appreciates their praise.
"That's not certain. What if my exam isn't good?" Nino says very modestly.
...
At the same time, Shinomiya Residence.
"Kaguya-sama, it seems like you're not worried about this final exam?"
Seeing Kaguya looking very relaxed after the exam, Hayasaka takes the initiative to ask.
"That's right, because as long as Kamikawa-kun isn't interested, the top position in the class will still be mine." Kaguya explains, "And if nothing happens, he should still get an average score."
"I really don't know how he does it."
