When one is too weak, even anger seems like a form of whining. This is perhaps the tragedy of the weak.
Chapter 251 The Footsteps of Death
The final exams finally arrived.
No matter how much the students wail, struggle, and cry out, the terrifying test demon will arrive on time, bringing conflict and discord.
The corridor had lost its usual hustle and bustle, leaving only a stifling silence. The fluorescent lights in the examination room emitted a cool, even light, illuminating every corner with meticulous detail.
The moment Castor picked up her pen, her mind raced through the week's tutoring sessions, a flood of emotions she couldn't express in words.
"That was quite a roundabout way... Thank you, Chairman."
In her recollection, Mary put away her textbook and said earnestly, "Taking the long way is the best shortcut. As long as you accumulate knowledge in advance, you won't have to frantically cram at the last minute before the test."
Starting next semester, Caster vowed to pay attention in class from the very beginning. She never wanted to experience that kind of death-defying charge, where despair and pressure pushed her into a corner, draining her last brain cell, again!
The assistant robot glided silently between the desks, distributing exam papers one by one. The first exam was on world culture and literature, which, in a wider range of countries and regions, has another name: Chinese language and literature.
The Academy City is home to countless literary giants: Shakespeare, Andersen, Dumas... This is why students have an inexhaustible treasure trove of reading comprehension materials.
However, being misinterpreted is the fate of creators. After countless deconstructions, literary giants finally couldn't bear to see their works over-interpreted beyond recognition, so they chose to concede, allowing schools to spend a small amount of money to commission a reading comprehension exercise.
Caster was faced with just such a commissioned work.
"Days Without Sunshine" by Alexandre Dumas.
Question 1: What is the relationship between the article's content and its title? What is the cleverness of this arrangement?
Question 2: Alexandre Dumas achieved extraordinary success in popular fiction, but one can also find many literary elements in his works. Please briefly analyze this article as an example.
Caster's breath hitched for a moment, and a bead of cold sweat silently trickled down the boar princess's forehead, sliding all the way to her chin.
The battle wasn't just spreading among the first-year students; on the other side of the battlefield, among the second-year students...
Lilith unconsciously started biting her fingernails. Instead of diving headfirst into those obscure and difficult passages of text, which were like a misty forest, she decided to conquer the fortress that seemed most achievable first: the essay.
Some say that you can create a Chaldean essay prompt by taking any sentence, adding "Some say" at the beginning, and "Others think otherwise, what do you think?" at the end.
Lilith: "..."
She rubbed her eyes and looked at it again in disbelief.
Some say it, others think it's more than that... What are you talking about?!
Miss Lilith, whose confidence was gradually crumbling, took a deep breath, suppressed her trembling fingers, and turned to the reading comprehension section of the test paper.
"Adults Are All Fools," by Hans Christian Andersen.
Question 1: The author devotes considerable space in the text to describing the vast differences between the child's perspective and the adult's worldview. What is the author's intention in doing so? Please analyze the deeper thoughts the author hopes to express in conjunction with the text.
Question 2: You are likely familiar with Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tales. Please select one of his fairy tales and provide a detailed analysis, referring to the core creative viewpoints presented in this article.
"call……"
Thankfully, at least it wasn't nauseating from beginning to end. Lilith composed herself and picked up her pen to answer the questions.
[The second day of final exams.]
Mathematics. Geography.
A vicious demon duo, the students' most severe nemesis.
You can't get good grades in math without hard work, and even if you work hard in geography, it might not be effective. These two, Heng and Ha, are inseparable even during exams, which really ignites a nameless anger in many people.
Tifon unfolded the exam paper with an open and honest demeanor, showing not a trace of guilt.
The reason is simple: she had another precognitive dream last night.
In my dream, I was wearing a beautiful, sexy, and famous swimsuit, comfortably leaning against the railing on the second floor of a seaside villa, enjoying the sunset view, with a refreshing iced drink beside me.
Aside from successfully launching the summer activities, Typhon couldn't think of any more possibilities.

"Hehe, hahahaha..." Typhon laughed silently.
As expected, bad luck doesn't last forever. All that hard work in tutoring these past few days wasn't in vain; the sweat was well spent.
Meanwhile, in the first year of high school.
Epsilon also had a precognitive dream, but this time she didn't play online with her sister.
The majestic icebergs, the petals fluttering in the air, the mysterious, purple-haired young beauty sitting on the throne—everything was so fantastical. What captivated her most was Mochizuki Oboro, who was only wearing swim trunks.
The smooth muscle lines were particularly distinct under the reflection of the ice crystals, and the visual impact of the image far surpassed that of any comic book.
The sound of the robotic arm extending and retracting interrupted Epsilon's thoughts.
"Please tilt your head back and stuff tissue in your nose to prevent the bleeding from continuing." The robot's cyberpunk accent remained unchanged: "If you feel unwell, please let us know immediately."
What a gaffe.
Epsilon wiped away the bright red blood from her nose, patted her cheeks, and pulled herself out of her unspeakable erotic fantasies.
But the more Epsilon tried to calm down, the more erotic images kept popping up. Many of them were even simulated battle scenes from the game.
Biu——
A spurt of blood shot out of Ipsilon's nostrils, and she collapsed in a very anime-style manner.
The protagonist, caught in a vortex of fantasy, remains oblivious and continues his own war.
Thanks to President Mary's special training, Mochizuki Oboro, who was originally only above average, has the potential to break into the ranks of the excellent. As long as she performs normally without any unexpected incidents, she should have no problem outperforming her opponent in the midterm exams.
Mysterious characters that intimidate countless students combine and intertwine to form equations that are dizzying to look at.
Wang Yuelong gritted her teeth, trying to unleash her potential and urge her brain to come up with a way to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible.
【Um, if Master doesn't mind, I can actually do it for you, okay? Meltryllis and the others aren't around, so opening a little back door wouldn't be a problem.】
[For questions of this level, the answer can be obtained in less than a second by simply connecting to the database.]
Passionlip's voice is like heavenly music.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want Mary's efforts to go to waste." Mochizuki Oboro reluctantly refused: "No matter the score, it's a testament to the tutoring you've received during this period."
【Yes, Master, good luck~~】
Even if I regret it after the exam, I will still write every character in the dictionary in a bright and beautiful way.
Come on, the most vicious and brutal mathematics!
Mochizuki turned to the last page with a fierce air.
Chapter 252 I Have an Idea
The last rays of the setting sun slanted across the somewhat empty corridors of Finis Academy, and the air was filled with a sense of relief unique to those who had just finished exams.
Regardless of the outcome, the students have already said goodbye to the great god of testing.
The final exam results will be released three days after the study tour ends, and Principal Goldruff kindly did not cause the students sleepless nights during the trip.
As the former center of urban legends, the town of Yasuiba is filled with all sorts of heart-wrenching secrets, but whether they are true or false is a matter of opinion.
"Everyone is free to choose whether to go or not, and the deadline for consideration is tonight. Because there are a lot of people staying, most of you will still have to stay in Yasuiba City, as there aren't many hotels in town." Kenneth looked around and said, "As for those who have already booked at Amagi Hotel, you can apply to change to accommodation in the city. After all, a murder happened there, and not every student is willing to adapt."
“Isn’t that a bonus?” Typhon said in a low voice.
There were three murders in that small town, the first of which occurred at the Sky City Hotel.
Ghosts and phantoms have always been central to urban legends. The main sources of ghosts are people whose resentment lingers from their previous lives, and the vast majority of them died unnatural deaths.
For many young people, especially the students of Chaldea, supernatural tales of ghosts and phantoms possess a natural and fatal attraction. Clearly, the Amagi Inn perfectly suits the needs of these eager students.
“There’s one more thing.” Kenneth cleared his throat, placed his hands on the podium, leaned forward slightly, and drawled, “Those staying at the Amagi Hotel should not wander around at night, especially Servants. They must not cause any damage.”
Mochizuki Oboro flipped through the study tour booklet issued by the school, which contained precautions, recommended attractions, and a schedule. Apart from the first day which included group activities, the remaining six days were free time for independent exploration.
Since the mysterious fog that enveloped Yashidaba Town dissipated, the town did indeed experience a tourism boom. However, the throngs of tourists quickly discovered that, stripped of its supernatural mystique, it was essentially no different from other tranquil villages, except for a few more reasonably pleasing attractions.
After a while, the hype dissipated quickly, like the receding tide, and the town eventually regained its original tranquility and ordinariness.
The partner chosen by Finis Academy is the township government. The local Yasogami High School is not yet on summer vacation, which allows students from Chaldea to truly experience real rural high school life.
The departure time is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but there will be a holiday after school today. Students who need it can use this free time to prepare supplies, such as snacks, board games, or rent cameras.
Just as Mochizuki's thoughts drifted away with the descriptions of the attractions in the brochure, her phone screen under the table suddenly lit up, emitting a faint notification sound that was almost ignored.
Asagami Fujino: We're leaving the day after tomorrow. What about Mochizuki-kun?
……
Meanwhile, Tokiwadai Middle School.
This private, aristocratic girls' academy is just as well-known as Phineas Academy. And in terms of the number of Servants, Tokiwadai Middle School isn't far behind Phineas Academy.
To fully enjoy this study tour, Asagami Fujino spent a lot of time collecting information and compiling it into a booklet. From regular shrines to unconventional taboo sites, Ms. Fujino covered everything.
In terms of accommodation, Tiancheng Hotel underwent an expansion in 2016, which greatly increased its capacity while retaining its original features, and it has been well received over the years.
Students from Tokiwadai Middle School, such as Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki, lived on the 4th floor, while female students from Finis Academy lived on the 3rd floor, and male students, such as Mochizuki Oboro, lived on the 2nd floor. Special barriers were set up in between to ensure the safety of the guests during the study tour.
But if they really wanted to do something bad, conventional methods certainly wouldn't be enough to stop such a large group of superpowered individuals.
“We’ll do group activities on the first day, and on the second day we’ll wander around more and gather intelligence. We’ll start our operation on the third night,” said Anastasia, the idea queen who appeared randomly.
Ryougi Shiki was lounging lazily on another armchair, her long legs casually crossed: "Are we just going to see the crime scene from back then?"
"No."
Asagami Fujino gently pushed the flashlight switch, shining the light on herself from bottom to top, which had a horror movie feel to it: "Many students who experienced the 'Great Fog' back then mentioned that if they turned on the TV at midnight, they would see unexpected scenes."
"Huh? Was there such a rumor back then?" Krimhild, sitting in the armchair next to him, paused, "Wait, didn't we hear similar rumors back in April?"
Asagami Fujino turned off the flashlight and resumed her normal sitting posture: "That's right. I squatted down with Shiki, but I didn't see anything. Now, the students in Yasuiba Town occasionally try to watch midnight TV, but there's nothing unusual anymore."
"Our goal is—to uncover the truth." Anastasia crossed her arms and said solemnly, "With superpowers already, what's impossible?"
Ryougi Shiki seemed unmoved by Anastasia's enthusiasm. She slowly picked up her phone, swiped her finger across the screen a few times, and suddenly let out a soft "Oh," as if she had discovered something interesting.
“Look,” she said, turning her phone screen toward the crowd.
Top Secret! Another world actually exists on television! A high school murderer confesses!
This is an old newspaper, published around the time of the "Great Fog Period".
The absurd front-page headline failed to generate any buzz, even from the most zealous conspiracy theorists. The high school student murderer who provided the testimony already had mental health issues and had previously claimed to be the real killer in the serial killings; his testimony was naturally disregarded and dismissed as mere ravings of a madman.
“Are there still reports like this…” Asagami Fujino pinched her chin, her brows furrowed slightly.
“The world on television. It sounds so fantastical.” Anastasia chuckled. “Have you heard any other interesting urban legends?”
Krimshild raised an eyebrow: "For example?"
"The actual time of each day is not 24 hours. After midnight, there is a 'shadow time'..."
"Don't make me laugh." Ryougi Shiki waved her hand.
Anastasia hummed in agreement: "I think it's fake too. It's ridiculous."
"Then let's verify this news!" Asagami Fujino said enthusiastically, "Let's see if another world really exists on TV!"
Chapter 253 Arrival at the Target Location
“Truth~
"Is elusive, it's nowhere to be found. Yeah the truth can never be written down.
"It's not in any magazines.You can't see it on your TV screen~~"
