Chapter 290: 221. Thousand Mirror Mutual Aid Association (4000 words)

The next day, Kyubei High School began the small three-week entrance test.

Before leaving, Beichuan Huili patted her flat chest and promised she would definitely rank within the top twenty of her grade.

But Beichuan Si gave her a hard knock on the head.

One must know that this girl consistently ranked within the top fifteen of her class in middle school, yet after coming to Kyubei, she had lowered her own standards, and this required a good lesson.

Yes, although Beichuan Si had never been involved with Beichuan Huili’s grades, he had, in fact, recorded all her fluctuations in performance in a small notebook.

Actually, Beichuan Si’s learning abilities in his previous life were not inferior to Beichuan Huili’s. In middle school, he was even elected class president because of his good looks.

However, after the incident with Hoshino Nana, his previous self quickly became withdrawn, increasingly gloomy and irritable, and his academic performance plummeted, never returning to what it was before.

But that had nothing to do with the current Beichuan Si. He just needed to get through the test papers—

The morning’s small test ended quickly, and Shinkai Mirai, who was packing up her pencil case, came over to Beichuan Si, who was tidying his pencils and eraser: "Mr. Temple, how do you feel?"

Since the start of the school year, Beichuan Si had been absent for two weeks. How could Shinkai Mirai not worry about his grades?

Failing to meet attendance and falling behind in academic performance, being held back a year was all but certain.

To prevent this from happening, Shinkai Mirai was quite willing to allow Beichuan Si to peek at her answer sheet during the tests.

But what Shinkai Mirai didn’t know was that Gangye Yoshiko had already used her connections to give the board chairman of Kyubei High a heads-up, paving the way for Beichuan Si’s promotion without any issues—green lights all the way.

"Nothing special,"

Beichuan Si stuffed his pencil case into his desk, took out four wrapped sandwiches and a can of barley tea, and answered without raising his head:

"It just so happened that I filled in all the blanks."

"It just so happened that you filled in all the blanks?"

Shinkai Mirai repeated like a parrot, but her tone was thick with skepticism.

In the realm of exorcism and ghostly affairs, she never doubted Beichuan Si, but when it came to academic performance, that was her, Shinkai Mirai’s, area of expertise.

She had a thought.

Could it be because Beichuan Si was not confident in his own grades, so he said such a thing?

Shinkai Mirai coughed, "If Mr. Temple doesn’t mind, could we compare our answers from the test just now?"

"It doesn’t matter to me." Beichuan Si remained aloof, which made Shinkai Mirai’s heart flutter uncontrollably.

What if Beichuan Si’s grades were too poor? How should she respond then?

Indeed—it’s better to—

Shinkai Mirai’s mind was a mess, her mouth opened but she didn’t know what to say.

But Beichuan Si was indifferent to her expression and, as if deep in thought, glanced at Shinkai Mirai before speaking the answers to himself.

"The first question, m=3, n=-2."

"The second question, the maximum and minimum values are plus or minus square root of 3."

"..."

Once he began, Shinkai Mirai couldn’t help but focus and listen. Then, with her lips parted in amazement, she recalled her problem-solving process and answers, shocked to find that Beichuan Si had gotten all of them right.

So Beichuan really knew how to solve these problems!

I thought you were an academic slouch, but you’re actually this impressive in your studies?

Shinkai Mirai swallowed hard, her eyes full of astonishment.

Beichuan Si, however, felt nothing about Shinkai Mirai’s shock.

After all, in his past life he was a man of science and technology. How could high school mathematics problems be difficult for him? Solving these questions was not much pressure at all.

Just as Shinkai Mirai was about to say something, a sharp and monotonous ringtone broke the silence.

It was Beichuan Si’s cellphone.

It seems the investigation results from Liangzi the day before were out.

Beichuan Si answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Is this Beichuan?"

Gangye Yoshiko, holding coffee in one hand and recieved materials in the other, leaned her head to hold the phone and asked.

"It’s me."

A cool voice came from the other end.

"Hmm, regarding the matter you mentioned yesterday... I had a senior in Gunma Prefecture help investigate, and I’ve got the information now,"

Gangye Yoshiko set down her coffee, gripped the phone and continued; "I’ll give you the detailed information this afternoon; you can do what you want with it."

"Okay."

The two set a time to meet after school, and Beichuan Si hung up.

Shinkai Mirai was taking out her lunch when she saw Beichuan Si end the call and then asked, "Was that Sister Liangzi?"

She faintly heard words like ’information’ and ’investigation’ and immediately thought of the forthright police sister.

"I asked her to investigate something," Beichuan Si confirmed her guess while he also pondered an in-person visit to Nakanojou Town in Gunma Prefecture.

Some things can’t be understood just by hearing others’ investigations.

After this small test, the weekend would follow; Beichuan Si planned to use this time to go to Nakanojou Town.

Even if he couldn’t completely resolve this incident, he needed to figure out the other party’s background.

He sipped his barley tea, his heart stirring slightly.

...

After school that afternoon.

Shinkai Mirai and Beichuan Si walked to the school gate.

"Mr. Temple, give your all with the Mirror Apartment situation."

Before parting, Shinkai Mirai offered Beichuan Si a fist bump to encourage him.
