Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Change it to a 365-day year-round study system! A maximum of one day off every four leap years is more than enough!

Hayakawa slowly conjured up the image of the Ministry of Education in his mind, thinking that he had no choice but to take control of it. He thought that when he became the global Minister of Education, he would definitely adjust students' holidays according to his own desires, so that everyone would become happier!

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something terrible."

The silver-haired girl next to him looked at Hayakawa's strangely grinning face and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "The evil in his eyes is almost overflowing."

"What do you know? You're all talk and no action."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said expressionlessly, "I'm thinking about a great cause that can benefit all mankind."

"hehe…"

Natsukawa Masuzu covered her ears with her hands, then gave Hayakawa a smile, indicating that she didn't want to hear it.

Hayakawa's face darkened upon seeing this, and he looked at the girl in front of him with a dangerous gaze.

For him, not being able to go to school, although incredibly painful, wasn't unacceptable. At least it wasn't the end of his life. After all, he had already arranged a full schedule of classes during the winter break, even more so than at Ichinose Academy. So, in the end, he might have even come out ahead, since there were no physical education or music classes to take up his time during the holidays.

What's unacceptable is... the end of the final exams and the release of grades.

Damn it... I'm going to get humiliated by these guys again.

Hayakawa secretly glanced at the beautiful silver-haired girl walking beside him with a hidden, malicious look. He found her face repulsive, her features twisted to an appalling degree. At the same time, Fumino Furuhashi, Riju Ogata, and Umaru Doma flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, like the introduction of a boss in some RPG monster-fighting games.

They are all my mortal enemies!

I wish I could die with them...

Hayakawa remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was weeping with blood and tears. How could he, the great emperor, suffer such a humiliation!

However, no matter how angry he was, he still had to accept this cruel reality and could only helplessly watch as Natsukawa Masuzu entered Class B, preparing to face his judgment.

As soon as she entered the classroom, May, who was huddled in the corner, suddenly brightened up and rushed over.

"Good morning, good morning, good morning... Hayakawa-kun,"

May's mouth trembled as if it were out of her control, and her body squirmed like a frostbitten bird, her tongue lolling out: "You've come!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Hayakawa was completely bewildered, wondering what was wrong with May. Had she been given general anesthesia?

"I get really scared on the day the results are released; I get inexplicably nervous..."

May stammered, then glanced warily at Natsukawa Masuzu next to Hayakawa. This person was an excellent student no less than Hayakawa, and had humiliated her before, which made May feel resentful.

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa thought to himself, "Why are you so nervous? I've been humiliated by several people in a row during monthly exams countless times without being scared, but you're already scared." However, he still comforted her, "Don't be nervous. This is only the first exam. As long as you make progress, that's fine."

"Yes...yes, you're right."

May breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then immediately became anxious again: "But I still hope my grades can be better."

Hayakawa sighed, "No matter how nervous you are now, the papers have already been graded. You might as well just wait with a calm mind and accept whatever comes your way, good or bad."

"Okay...ok."

May took a deep breath, then revealed a fearless expression, marched back to her seat, and even walked with the wrong step.

"..."

"You and May have become very close."

Suddenly, Natsukawa Masaki, who was standing next to her, said quietly, "When did this happen? Was it an accident?"

Hayakawa's expression froze for a moment, then he coughed lightly and said, "I've been teaching her lately, so we've been interacting more."

"That's great."

Natsukawa Masuzu puffed out her pink cheeks and looked at Hayakawa, revealing a rare, aggrieved expression like that of a young girl: "Teach me how to do it too."

Hayakawa's face immediately darkened: "Do you need me to teach you?"

Even though your grades are at the same level as mine, you still insist on having me teach you. Are you deliberately trying to humiliate me?

"Who says we don't need it?"

Natsukawa Masuzu looked at Hayakawa with a smile, her eyes as bright as autumn water: "Maybe after the results come out this time, I'll have to ask you for advice."

"Hehe, I appreciate your kind words."

Hayakawa rolled her eyes, taking it as the woman showing off to her.

Soon, the homeroom teacher walked into the room carrying a large stack of test papers.

"The results will be distributed now. When I call your name, come up and collect your test paper and report card."

The homeroom teacher said calmly, "If you find any misjudgments, contact the teacher yourself to have the scores changed."

"Tanaka..."

"Inoue..."

"Shimomura..."

"Fujimiya... didn't he come?"

The homeroom teacher called out names one by one, and then the students took their report cards back one by one. The scores were not leaked throughout the process.

This is also a humane aspect of Ichinose High School. The scores of the monthly exams that are not important are written on the blackboard and displayed at the entrance of the stairwell where people come and go. However, when it comes to the important final exams, they begin to respect students' privacy and do not announce the scores. They even make a point of sealing the report cards tightly to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from peeking at them.

Chapter 538 Defeating Natsukawa Masuzu

"Nakano Satsuki."

The homeroom teacher suddenly called out the name of a red-haired girl with an ahoge (a cowlick on her forehead), which caught Hayakawa's attention. May's body jerked as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly stood up and walked to the podium. Her stiff movements and expression reminded Hayakawa of a Western ancient-style movie she had watched before, in which soldiers were being inspected by the emperor.

When the homeroom teacher saw May, a smile suddenly appeared on her usually expressionless face, and she handed her the report card.

"You did well on this exam."

The teacher smiled and said, with a very kind attitude.

She had seen all of May's hard work and effort, and now that she was finally seeing some results, she was very happy.

"Thank you, teacher!"

May was feeling uneasy, but upon hearing the teacher's words, her eyes lit up. The tuft of hair on her head stood up as if she had received a central signal. She forcibly suppressed her urge to check her grades, thanked the teacher, and returned to her seat.

After returning to her seat, May opened her report card and glanced at it. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She wiped her eyes and looked at it again, looking utterly incredulous.

How did you do on the exam?

Hayakawa, who was not far behind her, was even more curious than May, but unfortunately their seats were too far apart, so he could only watch anxiously without being able to see her.

A few seconds later, May suddenly turned her head to look at Hayakawa, who had also turned her head, and gave her a smile. Then she secretly raised her thumb and mouthed a sentence.

Great

Her eyes couldn't hide her smile, curving into crescent shapes, but Hayakawa noticed her slightly reddened eyes.

Looks like you did well on the exam.

Hayakawa couldn't help but smile and nodded at May.

It's barely acceptable.

……

"Haku Hayakawa."

When his name was suddenly called, Hayakawa paused slightly, then stood up and walked to the podium with a calm expression.

Having endured countless humiliations, he had become accustomed to bearing it all.

“Excellent as always.”

The homeroom teacher handed the report card to Hayakawa and gave him a word of praise.

Normally, the homeroom teacher won't say anything when grades are released, but in reality, they will still offer some encouragement to students who have made great progress or are top students. This is a kind of teacher favoritism; no teacher dislikes good students.

"Thank you."

Hayakawa responded calmly. He was used to being praised by others, and now only his own progress could give him a real sense of accomplishment.

"Yes, keep up the good work."

The teacher smiled and called the next student's name, while Hayakawa returned to his seat.

After returning to his seat, he didn't check his grades immediately in the morning. Instead, he took a deep breath before reaching out and opening the app, where his grades came into view.

"Eh?"

Hayakawa blinked, looking somewhat confused.

The score wasn't actually that much different from before, since his past scores were almost perfect, leaving little room for improvement.

First, there's English, which, as always, was a perfect score. For a subject like this that only requires rote memorization of vocabulary and volume, Hayakawa would feel bad if he didn't get a perfect score.

There wasn't much change in Chinese, except for the composition, which improved by one or two points. Although it may seem like only one or two points, it's actually a very significant improvement, just two points away from the maximum.

Other subjects were one thing, but when Hayakawa looked at the science subjects, he was immediately stunned.

On the math score sheet, a bright red 100 stood out prominently among the many two-digit numbers.

"Did I actually get a perfect score on my math test this time?"

Hayakawa was a little stunned, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable, but upon closer reflection, it seemed quite normal.

In the past, I usually only lost points on the most difficult math problems at the end of the exam, and occasionally made mistakes in the earlier questions, ultimately only scoring around 95 points. But this time, I didn't make any mistakes on the multiple-choice and essay questions, and I solved the most difficult problem perfectly...

Isn't it only natural to get a perfect score?

"..."

Hayakawa reached out and gently wiped his math score, a complex smile appearing on his face.

In fact, he was always just one step away from a perfect score in math, but Hayakawa tried for a long time but could never get past that step.

The closer you get to the peak, the harder it is to climb; the closer you are, the more unattainable it seems. So you can never achieve perfection. There were even times when Hayakawa focused too much on the last few difficult questions and ran out of time, which led to frequent mistakes in the earlier questions and lower scores. In the end, Hayakawa could only calm down and take it one step at a time, accumulating knowledge slowly.

This time, he finally did it.

"Hmm...it's alright."

Hayakawa scratched his head. He should have been very happy, but for some reason, when he actually did it, he felt rather calm than the ecstatic joy he had imagined. It was as if he had expected this moment all along.

Heaven rewards diligence. I've worked hard all this time, so this reward is only fair. What's there to be happy about?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that my grades have already surpassed those of Natsukawa Masaki.

"That's something to be happy about."

Hayakawa said quietly. Just then, Natsukawa Masuzu returned with her report card and held out her hand without hesitation: "Let me see it."

"What are you doing? How rude of you to try to pry into a young girl's privacy so roughly."

Natsukawa Masaki looked offended, but still handed the report card to Hayakawa: "Here you go."

Hayakawa took the papers and carefully compared the two scores. After confirming that there were no errors, he put them down, closed his eyes, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and took several deep breaths.

No, I can't laugh yet...

35 seconds. After another 35 seconds, the grades will be distributed, the homeroom teacher will leave, and then it will be free time. Go to the bathroom and laugh your head off then.

Hayakawa tensed his face so tightly that the muscles in his face twitched slightly.

"Did you not do well on the test?"

Looking at Hayakawa's stiff face, Natsukawa Masuzu couldn't help but ask with concern.

She was a little worried, because if Hayakawa underperformed in such an important exam as the final exam, she might do something extreme and suddenly jump off a building, which would be troublesome.

However, she made a mistake this time because she cared about something heartless.

"..."

Hayakawa slowly turned his head, expressionlessly scrutinizing Natsukawa Masuzu before him. His indifferent eyes didn't even reflect the girl's presence, as if a high-ranking deity were looking down upon the masses below.

From this day forward, you can no longer be my enemy.

Chapter 539 Target: Umaru

Hayakawa glanced at her and then silently turned her head away without saying a word, not even bothering to give Natsukawa Masuzu a look.

An enemy he has already defeated can no longer be considered an opponent. Hayakawa will let her chase him until the distance between them is no longer possible.

In his mind, there are only three realms: the realm of great enemy, the realm of fellow Daoist, and the realm of ant.
