Immersing his consciousness into the system, Virgil quickly found what he was looking for. With a sigh of relief, he quickly understood why the M1 gives so little reward, this mission isn't that difficult in the first place….
He smiled at Hinagiku.
"Hmmhmm, I'll join this academy, I should be able to do it."
She frowned at his statement and became somber.
"Don't disregard Hakuo Academy's entrance exam, if you want to enter you must get at least 65 marks, only then will you qualify for this academy, are you sure you want to enter?"
"Nn, of course, I'm sure!"
Of course, he is absolutely sure. Trusting himself, he will probably get a maximum of 10 points, so that's out of the question, but that's where the system comes in….
Looking at his smug attitude, she started to have qualms, could this guy really be that amazing? He doesn't look like an intellectual, and he even has a sword, he looks more like a delinquent.
"Since you are so sure, let me take you to the teacher in charge and let him process your entrance exam, okay?"
Sure she looks very serious, but she's a sweet little girl inside, she would do anything to help, even if it's someone she just met….
"Wait…"
He stopped her.
"I think it would be better to wait a little before taking the entrance exam."
"Hmm?"
She was perplexed by him, if you had matters to finish, why didn't you finish them before you arrived?
"Alright, if you have any urgent matters to attend to, please attend, the entrance exam can be taken at any time. Since people don't come to sign up very often, it's not uncommon for there to be no sign-ups for an entire year. So basically you have all the time in the world to prepare."
"Well, I wouldn't need that long, about an hour should do it. But I have some matters I would like your help with."
Rubbing his nose, he could imagine that if he voiced his request, what kind of look he would get from her.
She just gave him a dry laugh.
"What do you need my help with? Don't feel reserved, I'm still the student council president of this school."
Yes, yes, I already know that you are Kaichou sama, and that is when you are 'born', I don't need you to remind me….
Responding, he just awkwardly responded to her.
"Could you please lend me some books for a bit?…"
She looks a little shocked, but unexpectedly, her face didn't show any expression of surprise, just an understanding smile.
"Actually, if you're not that confident, you can go home and revise for a few more days, you don't need to panic about it."
Damn, she thought he was going to make some last minute revisions...
"No need, just lend them to me for an hour. Plus, I wouldn't have any books to study even if I went home and revised."
He helplessly explained to her.
"No books!"
She looked at him in horror, as if she had seen a prehistoric being. He promptly ignored her reaction because he knew it would be like that.
She began to question him when she saw that he didn't seem to be joking.
"You don't have books, so does that mean you haven't read them before? If you haven't read it before, how are you going to take the exam!
"Maa, due to various reasons, then…"
"Are you belittling Hakuo's entrance exam?"
Now she is not amused by him. This is a prestigious school, the entry standards are quite high, just from the 65 grade requirement you can see this for yourself.
And right now, someone who has never read books 'arrogantly' claims that they can pass the exam with just one hour of studying. If this isn't child's play, then it's clearly a slight towards Hakuo.
As Hakuo's student council president, she is already quite magnanimous in not getting angry at someone who looks down on Hakuo.
Looking at Hinagiku who was getting angry, he felt chills down his spine, no mortal could reasonably defend himself against the wrathful Katsura Hinagiku. But it had to be done, without the books he really wouldn't know where to start, much less the entrance exam.
"Gu… You're misunderstanding, I'm not looking down on Hakuo, otherwise I wouldn't have even come to apply to join. I have the confidence to do what I said."
He can only put it that way.
"Confidence? So you're saying you can pass the test with an hour of studying without ever touching a book before?"
She wanted to laugh at him, but that wouldn't be nice, so she just pursed her lips as she looked at him.
{That's dismissive, isn't it?! She's definitely looking down on me, isn't she?!}
As much as he wanted to respond, the only one who would get hurt would be him, so he just shook his head helplessly.
"Humph!"
She was outraged at him.
"Are you kidding me?"
Sighing inwardly, he admitted that it was foolish of her to think that enrolling would be easy. With such a gatekeeper, shouldn't the system have awarded a more generous prize?
Thinking back, he had a eureka moment and smiled at her.
"It seems like you don't believe I can do this."
"Yes!"
She didn't even hesitate, it left him twitching his lips.
Harrumphing he raised his finger.
"Well then, why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet?"
She looked at him quizzically.
"What are we betting on?"
"A bet on whether I will be able to pass the exam after an hour. What about this?"
She raised her eyebrow looking at him who is full of confidence. She began to waver.
{It could be? Is he really a genius and can pass the exam with an hour of studying?}
"Did you really not read anything before coming here?"
She asked uncertainly.
"Nothing but the whole truth!"
He has never read books before. Even during formal exams, he only studied for a month or two. Normally he doesn't even touch the books. It doesn't matter reading Japanese books, if it weren't for the system, he wouldn't even understand what was written in that book. It's not like he knows Japanese, oh, but he can understand a line or two... for example, yamete and whatnot...
You understood.
Looking at her, who is still deciding whether he will accept him, he can't help but tease her with a bit of sarcasm.
"What's the matter? Are you scared?"
"Wh-Who's scared! Alright, I agree!"
No one can make her go back on her words once she is in this competitive state, not even a cow could drag her back now. Virgil who is familiar with the 2d aspects, how can he not take advantage of this?…
"Say, what's the bet!"
Looking at her with his resolute face, he laughed inside his heart, but on the surface…. okay, he's laughing too.
"I don't know either, but let's do it this way, whoever loses has to grant the status of winner, how about that?"
His brazen thoughts finally revealed themselves. But the person in question still thinks he is as pure as a saint.
"Good! You're awake!"
And then, Kaichou-sama unhesitatingly jumped into a trap so deep that she wouldn't be able to get out of it in her entire life...
...
Inside the student council office, in Hinagiku's original seat, was a certain uninvited guest. Sitting there like she owns the place, she's not a happy camper, but what can she do? She was the one who brought him here, and she was the one who said 'Sit wherever you want'.
"Here you go, these are all the study materials."
Placing the last of the books in front of him, she stood with her arms on her waist. She decided to take care of this guy for the next 1 hour to prevent him from doing any tricks.
Looking at those books whose thickness only lost by a small margin to Cihai (A/N: to be fair, most of the words contained there would not normally be encountered in everyday conversation, an analogy would be how we have many words that mean the same thing, but we only use one or two of them). He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
You really can't blame Hayate for studying like a nerd for the test. This test doesn't seem to have been designed for the average person.. If he didn't have the system as an ace up his sleeve, he wouldn't get out of this transcript forever, would he….
Katsura Hinagiku: (lv18)
Looking through her information, he can't help but sigh. They really are sisters, they are both normal humans, but one is level 15 and the other is level 18. At level 2, if they were brought to Silvaria, they would be considered rare monsters, wouldn't they? (A/N: to clear up the confusion, basically the inhabitants of Silvária had to train to reach level 2, and this 2 seemed to be here without doing anything special, so they are rare in that sense, not because of their own strength ).
Her strength is understandable to him. In the original work, she is someone who could single-handedly end a demon with a sword. He's shocked, but not that surprised.
He opened the menu list. Even if he did it in front of her, because no one but him can see it and he's not using his hand but his mind to deal with the list, it's not a big deal.
Opening 'skills' > 'skill type', his eyes land on one of the skills after searching through the list for a while.

Confirming the choice he felt his head become lighter, every vague thing he thought he had forgotten became clear as if he was looking at an album, flipping through it one by one, the photos being stored deep inside his brain.
With his memories clearer than ever, he looked through his files once more. His face contorted in conflict.
Every vague memory of when he was little came flooding back, he discovered that he actually did a lot of stupidly embarrassing shit when he was little.
"Why aren't you reading? Giving up?"
She joked after seeing him not getting the books right and making a strange face.
"Nn, I'll start now."
With an impeccable memory, he had this test in his bag, taking out a book, he looked at 10 lines at a time, everything he sees is stored inside his brain. It didn't take long for him to finish a book.
"Hey, you call this reading? Could you actually remember the text doing so?"
It's only been 5 minutes and he's already finished a thick book like this. If you told her that he actually remembers the contents, she wouldn't believe it even if she died.
What a pity, little girl, your opponent is not in the dimension, what can you say, you are too shallow…
"Just wait and see."
He smiled at her and then went back to reading.
Why didn't he think studying was so easy back then?
This was what he shamelessly thought when he had already cheated using points and obtaining a skill….
She just rejected him and turned her head to the side...
Inside the student council office, there was only the sound of pages being quickly flipped through. After a while, she finally broke the silence.
"That's right, I didn't hear your name."
Stopping her movements, he felt tears streaming down his heart. Because he forgot to introduce himself…
"I'm Virgil!"
"Virgil? What a strange name, and you don't have a last name?"
She just touched his cheek at his response.
"Er, that's my full name, as for my surname, don't worry about it."
Awkwardly scratching the back of his neck, he can only hide it.
"Based on your name, are you a foreigner?"
"Yes, I'm from the United States!"
Disconcerted by this revelation, she didn't really think she was talking to a foreigner.
