Seeing Ichika's honest speech, Maya stood up straight in surprise and looked at the whole class with an embarrassed look on her face.
"At this stage, how many students don't understand?"
"..." x the whole class
"Haha! Ichika is going to be in trouble!"
Illya whispered as if talking to herself, and the corners of her mouth began to turn up.
"Master, why do you say that?"
Penglai, who was lying on Illya's left shoulder, moved to Illya's ear with subtle movements, and asked in a low voice as well.
“You’ll know it once you see Chifuyu’s face!”
Illya moved her left shoulder slightly, letting Horai look at Chifuyu's face.
At this time, Chifuyu walked up to Ichika with a gloomy look.
"Have you read the reference book before entering school?"
"Hmm...the thick one?"
After Ichika thought for a while, he asked this question.
"Yes! It says 'must read' on it, right?"
Chifuyu nodded, confirming that the two parties were discussing the same subject.
"Owner."
At the same time, Penglai called Ilia.
"What's up?"
Illya tilted her head slightly and looked at Penglai with her peripheral vision. Her main gaze was to appreciate the interesting interaction between the siblings.
Just when Ichika said, "I accidentally threw it away."
"Master, did you just throw away that 'Must-Read Brick' just like that kid?"
A must-read, plus it’s super thick, Penglai directly named it “a must-read brick”.
"yes!"
Illya answered quite naturally.
"Then Master, shouldn't you also know nothing? Why didn't you raise your hand just now? Are you pretending to be stupid here..."
Penglai pulled Ilia's earlobe to express her dissatisfaction.
"What are you talking about? Penglai?"
Illya flicked Horai's forehead, while Chifuyu slapped Ichika on the head.
"Tsk... I've already scanned the contents inside with origin-logic. It's such a big volume, how inconvenient it would be to keep it? Why don't you just throw it away?"
Illya first suppressed the laughter that almost came out, and then explained to Penglai.
"I will send you a copy later. Give me a week to remember it. Do you understand?"
After fanning Ichika, Chifuyu ruthlessly decided for him how to use his spare time for a week.
"Um...after reading it in one week, will it be..."
Chifuyu turned around and walked towards the podium. Ichika tried her best to get some reprieve for herself.
"If I tell you to look, just show it to me!"
Chifuyu turned around and looked at Ichika with her peripheral vision. The meaning in her eyes was "If you don't look, you will die!"
"Well……"
Ichika moved his body back with some fear, and then like a deflated rubber ball, his whole body went limp and he lowered his head.
"Yes, I see..."
"Then, let's continue the class! Please turn to page 12 of the textbook!"
Teaching resumed under Maya's leadership, and everything returned to normal, except for Ichika who was still in a discouraged state.
…
Finally the bell rang, the theoretical class was over, and it was time for break.
Just when Illya was fiddling boredly on the seat, she was ordered to disguise herself as an ordinary doll.
Illya sat in the front seat next to her, which was in the second-to-last row of the classroom.
A girl with long pale blond hair, a blue headband with white lace, and curls at the end stood up.
The target was pointed at Ichika and he walked over.
"Ah! Another interesting thing is about to happen! She has a sense of 'thread', and she is also a member of the protagonist group..."
Looking at Ichika who was already being talked to, Illya's lips curled up.
"Oh? Master, in other words, is that girl also a member of the harem?"
Penglai suddenly realized and spoke.
"Don't mention that word to me!"
Ilia held her forehead as she had a headache.
"I originally thought it was Lily Academy, but it turned out to be Harem Palace Academy. Oh my God! The contrast is too big, isn't it?!"
Just when Ilia was sighing and complaining about fate.
"You said you don't know me? Ben Cecilia Orugudo is a candidate for the British representative and the first in the entrance exam..."
The blonde girl was carrying out a literacy campaign on Ichika with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Can I ask a question?"
Ichika suddenly reached out and stopped Cecilia who was about to continue speaking.
"Hmph! It is also the duty of a noble to respond to the requests of inferiors. Please ask."
Cecilia raised her chin very proudly.
"That... stands for candidate, what does it mean?"
Ichika, who had a serious expression on his face, received responses from everyone present.
Surprised, silent and disbelieving.
Of course, except for Illya who almost laughed.
"It's unbelievable! Are all Japanese men ignorant?"
Cecilia nodded her forehead in confusion.
"This is common sense! Common sense!"
"That means post-replenishment?"
Although he received a very strong negative reaction, Ichika still persisted in asking questions.
At this time, Cecilia's eyes lit up, giving people the illusion that light was emanating from them for a moment.
"The country's representative IS operator, the elite selected as its candidate."
Cecilia crossed her arms with a fierce aura.
"You can guess it from the meaning of the word, right?"
"It sounds true..."
Just as Ichika nodded in agreement, Cecilia stretched out her right hand and pointed diagonally forward.
"Yes! I am an elite! Originally..."
The following is a whole paragraph of Cecilia's self-narcissism, as well as some cognitions and thoughts about Ichika.
"Although I heard that you are the only male who can control IS. However, it is really disappointing!"
"It's hard for me to have expectations for me..."
Ichika turned his head in embarrassment. He never expected that he would become the "only one".
"Hmph! But, after all, I am so good. I will also treat people like you gently!"
Cecilia snorted lightly and walked towards her seat as she spoke.
"If there's anything you don't understand, well, if you come to me crying, I won't be able to teach you!"
Speaking, Cecilia raised her chin proudly again.
"After all, I am the only two in the entrance exam who defeated the examiner, the elite among the elite!"
"The only two? Are you one, and the other one is talking about me?"
At this moment, Ichika suddenly raised a question.
"What did you say? How could the other one be you?!"
Cecilia first glared at Ichika fiercely, then suddenly thought of something and asked with some uncertainty.
"Could it be that... you also..."
"Yeah! I also knocked down the examiner!"
Ichika nodded matter-of-factly, this was a fact.
"Rather than being hit, she rushed over at once, I dodged, and she hit the wall and couldn't move."
Ichika pressed her forehead and told some details.
"What? I just heard that including me, there were two girls who knocked down the examiner..."
Ichika's calm expression made Cecilia reject the possibility that the other party was lying.
"Does it mean 'among girls'?"
Ichika was sorting out her textbooks and asked casually.
"You! You knocked down the examiner too?!"
Cecilia suddenly felt excited and wanted to confirm again. She was stimulated by what Ichika just said.
"Uh...well, please calm down, okay?"
Ichika was startled. He didn't expect that Cecilia, who had obviously calmed down, would react like this.
"Who can calm down..."
Just when Cecilia was about to continue, the bell rang for class.
"We'll talk about the rest later, do you understand?"
"well?"
Under Ichika's puzzled gaze, Cecilia left without looking back.
