Jingzi really didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end.
Because of that declaration on stage, not only did Jingzi and Luo Zhen completely become enemies in the eyes of others, but she has also been unable to properly say a word to him until now.
In fact, after making that declaration, Kyoko also regretted it, thinking that she shouldn't have been so aggressive.
Although Jingzi really wanted to abide by her original agreement, engage in a spell battle with Luo Zhen, and surprise him, admitting her hard work over the years, Jingzi definitely did not want Luo Zhen to be her opponent.
But in the end, it never succeeded.
The reason is also very simple, just because Natsume exists.
"Tsuchimikado Natsume..."
Kyoko gritted her teeth.
If this woman hadn't been meddling in other people's business, Jingzi might have reconciled with Luo Zhen long ago due to her bold character who is not difficult to get along with but makes people feel close to her.
As a result, every time when Kyoko went to Luo Zhen to fulfill the original agreement and reveal the matter, Natsume would always come out halfway to stop Kyoko, which really made Kyoko hate her teeth. .
However, when Kyoko made up her mind to capture Natsume first and then contact Luo Zhen, the strength Natsume showed actually surprised Kyoko.
Not only can he use lightning techniques, but he can also use lightning protection techniques. The combination of the two makes Natsume as powerful as a professional onmyoji. Even an onmyoji with Yin-Yang II qualifications is likely to be no match for Natsume. , how could Kyoko defeat her
Although Kyoko is also a genius, her talent in spells is not low at all, and she can even control two Dharma Protectors at the same time, showing a strength that is far superior to that of ordinary school students, but facing Natsume, Kyoko is still weak.
After all, not only is Natsume's talent for spells superior to Kyoko's, but her level of hard work is no less than Kyoko's. She has been training herself since she was a child with the goal of becoming a Razen shikigami, and eventually inherited Chizuru Tsuchimikado. With his spells and shikigami, as well as having simulated battles with Luo Zhen almost every day, he has accumulated very sufficient actual combat experience. It is natural that Kyoko cannot be as good as Natsume.
As a result, it has been almost a year since I entered Onmyojuku.
Soon, Onmyojuku will hold an upgrade exam.
No matter which grade the students of Onmyojuku are in, promotion exams will be held before the end of the school year to test the students' performance.
The test is the same as the entrance exam, divided into written test and practical test. Only by passing the test can first-year students be promoted to second grade, and only second-year students can be promoted to third grade. As for third grade, it is not a promotion test, but It's the graduation exam, and then there's the onmyoji qualification test for all the students who have successfully graduated. If you pass, you can become a professional onmyoji. If you don't pass, everything will be over.
Of course, it is only the yin and yang III qualification exam, and all junior high school students who successfully graduate can get it.
As for the qualifications for the yin and yang II species, it depends on each person's achievements.
Soon, the upgrade exam will begin.
Of course, Jingzi is not worried that she will fail the exam, nor is she worried that Luo Zhen will fail the exam. However, the promotion exam also means that the first grade is coming to an end. However, Jingzi has not repaired the relationship with Luo Zhen, and has not even been able to say a good word to her. In fact, It made her a little frustrated.
"I just want to get along well with you..."
Jingzi buried her face in the quilt, her formerly clear and moving voice filled with anguish.
"Why did it become like this?"
Kyoko could only sigh.
To be honest, for Kyoko, who had excellent conditions in all aspects, she didn't need to worry about her interpersonal relationships.
If this had happened to someone else, Kyoko would have solved it quickly and reconciled with the other person.
But for some reason, this matter became very difficult when it came to Luo Zhen, and it took almost a year.
Although there is Natsume's factor in it, there is also the problem of Kyoko's inability to put aside her face and the unknown emotions in her heart.
"It's really not like me..."
Kyoko said this in a self-deprecating way.
"I can only hope that there will be some progress in the second grade."
Kyoko sighed.
This also means that Jingzi has given up on repairing the relationship with Luo Zhen this year.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned.
... ... ... ...
Just like that, another few days passed.
On this day, Yin Yang School held promotion examinations for each grade.
The upgrade exam is divided into two days. The first day is a written test and the second day is a practical test.
Today, the students of Onmyojuku are all in their respective classrooms, writing furiously on the test papers handed out by the invigilator.
The same goes for Luo Zhen.
only...
"It's basically not difficult."
Just ten minutes after the exam, Luo Zhen made such a comment, put away his pen, and yawned, letting the sound of yawning reverberate throughout the classroom.
In the extremely silent classroom, Luo Zhen's yawn was so clearly audible that all the students in the private school turned their heads and saw Luo Zhen's condition.
Seeing Luo Zhen put away his pen and lay there yawning, the students not only did not feel confused, but looked like they had eaten bitter melon.
"Did you finish all the test questions in ten minutes again?"
"Is it that every written test is not difficult for him and he can solve it in just ten minutes?"
"I thought that taking the promotion exam would at least allow him to spend more time..."
"I'm still worried about failing, damn..."
One by one, the private school students made grimaces and complained like this, but as if they were used to it, they continued to turn their heads and focus on the test paper.
"Really..."
Realizing Luo Zhen's condition, Natsume muttered a few times, but then continued to fill in the test paper as usual.
After about twenty minutes, Natsume nodded and put away his pen.
As if following closely behind her, Kyoko, who was sitting farther away, spent thirty minutes filling out the entire test paper, put away her pen, and looked in Natsume's direction.
Seeing this, Natsume looked like she had lost again, which made Kyoko bite her lip bitterly and glared over.
The eyes of the two collided fiercely, causing sparks to rub off again.
"well... "
Seeing this scene, Otomo Jin, as the invigilator, sighed in disgust.
"Is this it again?"
Otomoji scratched his head and thought like this.
Obviously, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
Over the past year, Luo Zhen, Natsume, and Kyoko seemed to have been competing, allowing scenes like this to happen constantly.
Especially during the written test, it usually takes Luo Zhen ten minutes to complete it, and Natsume takes another ten minutes to follow closely. Then Kyoko is not to be outdone, and she also completes it ten minutes after Natsume finished, and she can still do it. Getting high scores, especially for Luo Zhen, who even kept getting perfect scores, really makes people don't know how to react.
"Well, being energetic is a good thing."
The Dayoujin can only give the evaluation it has always given.
"I hope you can perform well in the actual performance tomorrow."
With such a sentence as the end, the written examination ended successfully.
Next is tomorrow’s practical skills.
That's the point.
