Trap!
It's all a trap!
She wasn't wearing anything, yet the question asked about the color of her panties. It was clearly a malicious plot to harm people.
Amamiya Natsuki sternly looked at the ghost teacher in front of him, his gaze falling on the shapely figure encased in the hip-hugging skirt, criticizing her fiercely in his heart.
What's more, as a female teacher, going commando under your skirt at school, isn't that a bit too much?
Didn't you consider the social death if you were discovered?
Wait.
She's already a ghost after death, so it seems she shouldn't be afraid of social death.
Then it's fine.
"Poke, poke—"
Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes and looked over, writing on the desk with her finger: "Amamiya-kun, don't keep staring at the female teacher's body. It's very impolite."
Why talk about politeness with ghosts? If their combat power wasn't completely suppressed, those unlucky players in the same exam room would have already teamed up to pull off the Teacher's skirt!
"Don't slander my innocence." Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly, "I'm just deciphering the answer."
"Eh…" Fujiwara Chika blinked, then suddenly covered her chest with both arms. "Does Amamiya-kun have superpowers that allow him to see through people's clothes?"
Don't bother covering up. If I could really see through people's clothes, I'd already know how many moles you have!
"Kaguya-chan, quickly cover your body."
Shinomiya doesn't need to at all.
Flat as a board, utterly unremarkable, like the Great Plains—there's absolutely no need to cover her body.
Amamiya Natsuki secretly told Fujiwara Chika the correct answer to the question, his gaze falling on the blood-stained test paper, where a new question quietly emerged.
"What was the cause of death for Hayato Aoki, who is in the same exam room as you?"
Very good.
Another morbid question.
Even if Shinomiya Kaguya was not just the top student in the school, but the top student in the entire country, she still wouldn't be able to answer this.
Amamiya Natsuki vaguely figured out the rules of the death exam Game.
Quietly doing the test paper is a dead end.
He had to cause trouble.
Everyone used their unique abilities, looking for opportunities to peek under the Teacher's skirt, or searching for which ghost in the exam room was Hayato Aoki, secretly observing them, analyzing and judging their cause of death… In short, they had to cheat in various ways.
Once cheating was discovered, they would face the punishment of death.
However, Amamiya Natsuki found a special trick for heretical skipping.
As the Teacher, it's normal for her to know the students' causes of death, right?
A moment later.
The Teacher completed her round and returned to Amamiya Natsuki's side.
"Teacher, you dropped your money again."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Amamiya Natsuki calmly pointed to the coin on the desk.
Whether human or spirit, once something is experienced for the first time, there's a desire to do it a second time.
This time, the Teacher didn't even hesitate, silently picked up the coin from the test paper, and then tapped her finger on the correct answer.
Correct answer.
Amamiya Natsuki was quite satisfied.
Teacher, forever the GOAT!
This scene was naturally observed by the other human players in the classroom, each with different thoughts.
"What is that guy doing?"
"I smell a shady deal."
"As expected of a master, has he already found the hidden rule?"
"..."
Plop.
A note suddenly landed on Amamiya Natsuki's desk.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing with his peripheral vision at a male student sitting to his right and behind him.
This was an unlucky player. Seeing Amamiya Natsuki look over, he quickly put his hands together, his face full of pleading.
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds, then opened the note.
"Player-sama, carry me!"
Sorry, not a big shot, just an ordinary player who just passed the beginner level.
It felt very unpleasant to just easily tell someone the correct answers he had worked so hard to get.
But as fellow human players, setting aside mutual protection, just watching the other party die without doing anything, his conscience couldn't bear it...
Plop.
Another small note was thrown over, followed by a black... cat ear hairpin?
"Big shot, I understand the rules. This is the last item on me!"
Amamiya Natsuki hesitated slightly, then reached out and touched the cat ear hairpin.
A Game panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Item: Cat Ear Hairpin]
[Origin: Blind Box Draw]
[Special Effect: After wearing the cat ear hairpin, you are no longer an ordinary person. In the eyes of the spirits, you will transform into a cat.]
[Reminder: This item has an adaptability requirement. Current adaptability is 40%. The higher the adaptability, the less likely the disguise will be seen through.]
[Note: Hurry up and turn into a cat girl!]
"So it's an item from a blind box."
Amamiya Natsuki played with it for a bit, quickly guessing what the so-called rule was.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
If you want to rely on someone else, you either show your own value or offer enough sincerity.
The cat ear hairpin in front of him was clearly the latter.
Using a rather useless item to exchange for test answers, that was the content of the trade.
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly in agreement.
Even if he didn't get the item, he would have helped in the end.
It wasn't an exam where it was only you or me. Ignoring others' pleas for help and watching fellow human players die, he really couldn't get past that hurdle of conscience.
Now being able to obtain an item from a blind box could be said to be a pleasant surprise.
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki nod, that human player was immediately overjoyed, looking over with eager anticipation.
Amamiya Natsuki silently picked up his test paper.
"Thank you, Player-sama!"
Exchanging a useless item for help was simply a huge gain!
Besides human players, the spirit students were the real majority in the classroom.
A spirit student sitting behind Amamiya Natsuki seemed to also have the intention of copying answers, but his actions were much simpler and cruder: he directly extended a blood-soaked right hand and grabbed towards Amamiya Natsuki.
Hey, hey, that's going too far.
Others are just copying, but you're outright robbing!
A chilling aura swept over, and Amamiya Natsuki felt his body about to freeze. He took a deep breath and decisively shouted:
"Teacher, someone's trying to snatch my test paper!"
The patrolling Teacher suddenly turned her head.
The spirit male student's body instantly stiffened, his voice hoarse: "They're all copying..."
Before he could finish speaking, the blood-stained triangular ruler had already swung down.
The classroom quickly fell silent.
He bribed the Teacher with his own ability, but you, without giving anything, tried to manipulate the Teacher. You deserve to fail.
A moment later.
"The exam is over."
A sinister, hoarse voice came from the Teacher's mouth. The female Teacher stood on the podium, her eyes blood-red: "Students who passed the exam can now leave the classroom. Students who failed, stay behind and wait for the next make-up exam."
Under the chilling gaze of a group of spirit students, Amamiya Natsuki and the others got up and walked out of the examination room.
"We're out." Fujiwara Chika lightly patted her chest. "I thought Kaguya-chan was so smart that she would easily pass the exam, but those questions weren't meant for humans to do at all."
It's a Haunted School to begin with, so it's normal for humans to not be able to do it!
"Amamiya-kun, is that cat ear hairpin very special?"
Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.
"Take a look."
Amamiya Natsuki handed over the cat ear hairpin.
Fujiwara Chika took it curiously, and soon let out a light gasp: "Eh, eh, it's actually an item from a blind box... The adaptability rate is 70%. What about Amamiya-kun?"
"Forty percent." Amamiya Natsuki replied.
"Eh, so low." Fujiwara Chika handed the cat ear hairpin to Kaguya, her voice clear, "Kaguya-chan, check the adaptability rate."
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was cool and calm, as if she had no fear at all. She was silent for two seconds before saying:
"Ninety-five percent."
"So high!"
"A boring item." Shinomiya Kaguya returned the cat ear hairpin, her tone calm, "We've already met the minimum clearance standard, we can go back..."
Before she could finish speaking, a chilling, hoarse broadcast suddenly sounded throughout the Campus.
[Announcement: Players 'Evil of this World', 'Cancer of Earth', and 'Weak and Helpless Kaguya-hime' have been jointly reported by multiple students and are now in wanted mode.]
