“…What’s the meaning of this?”

Kojou Akatsuki clutched his head as he stared at the printouts spread atop the desk. Long pieces of text in a foreign language and complex mathematical proofs decorated the sheets. They were exams for English and math.

Yukina had said she had an important mission for him, and this is where she had led him—a classroom with problems to answer.

“It is precisely what it looks like: supplemental exams. Is that a problem?” Natsuki grumbled while Kojou took his sweet time internalizing the current situation.

Natsuki was dressed in the usual extravagant, frilly dress. However, the clearly unenthused expression on her face was doubtlessly related to being at school on a Sunday. She was the supplemental exam monitor on her long-awaited day off; small wonder she was in a sour mood.

Although Kojou could say the same for himself, having to take supplemental exams he had not desired.

“Err, they explained the situation to you, right? That I spent the last half year with amnesia on this Onrai Island place, and I only got back this morning, right?”

“Those are the circumstances solely from your perspective, yes?”

Speaking with a flat voice, Natsuki shot Kojou a look of visible scorn.

“The objective fact remains, you skipped end-of-semester exams while spending the last three days in unauthorized absence. Incidentally, if you fail these exams you will be in the same class as your little sister.”

“Meaning I’ll repeat the year?! Shit!”

Are you a demon? cursed the voice he dared not raise aloud as he shifted his gaze to the exam problems.

Kojou’s younger sister, Nagisa Akatsuki, was in her third year of middle school. If he wasn’t careful, he would fail the grade and have to repeat his first year of high school, meaning he would be in the same grade as his younger sister.

“What a handful,” said Natsuki with a sigh, languidly leaning against her chair. It was an antique with arms and legs ill-suited to a high school classroom. Natsuki remained sitting in it as a homunculus girl in a maid outfit brought her a poured cup of tea.

“To think the ruler of a Dominion would flunk a grade. It makes you wonder about the future of Itogami.”

“I haven’t even taken the exams yet…!” Kojou objected in a quiet voice as he worked on translating English text into Japanese. It was long and dealt with current affairs. Three days prior, Kojou surely would have been unable to raise hand or foot against it.

However, even as Kojou worried, he somehow managed to read and comprehend the difficult problem. His unexpectedly valiant efforts brought a plainly dubious expression over his exam monitor, Natsuki. She turned her gaze toward Yukina and Yaze, who were waiting in a corner of the classroom, as if to say, That’s impossible, suspecting Kojou of cheating. Yukina and Yaze, under suspicion of being coconspirators, hastily shook their heads.

“I told you earlier, sheesh. I have a half year of extra study under my belt. First-year high school problems are cake, especially English. Her Royal Highness the paladin really worked me over for that.
