I Will Kill The Author

Chapter 376 Genius

376 Genius

"Argh, this paper is a nightmare!"

"Ma'am, this is way out of syllabus! We were not taught about Mana Equilibrium and its laws!"

"What does this thing even mean? How am I supposed to prove the existence of mana recoil?! It just happens when one exhausts their mana core to the limit! Wait… maybe that's the answer… Gosh, I'm a genius!"

"Hey, can you show me the answer to number three?"

"Huh? Why would I? When I asked you for a date the other day, you called me a fat pig and a disgusting nerd!"

"...Fine, I'll go out with you. Just show me the answer."

"Oh? For real? Okay, here!"

"Thank you… piggy."

"Hey now!"

Liz's eyebrow twitched uncontrollably as she listened to the class. Eventually, her patience reached its breaking point.

A wave of crushing mana pressure flooded the entire class, almost suffocating all the cadets present here.

Only a few main characters were spared from the ruthless assault since they swiftly deployed their own mana pressure to shield themselves.

Consequently, the cadets caught in the middle of these opposing pressures nearly blacked out.

"Nothing is out of syllabus. Stop yelling your answers. And you two, I swear to god I'll throw you both out if you continue to cheat so openly and disturb the class!" Liz yelled, withdrawing her mana pressure.

The cadets shuddered and broke into fearful murmurs before returning to their work, hastily scribbling answers on their sheets.

I didn't bother with the commotion, though. After all, I had only three more questions left to answer.

Since today was the last written exam, my goal was to finish the paper early and hit the training gym.

It had been a few days since I could train properly. Kent was holding study sessions with a newly formed study group that he himself had created.

Naturally, he invited me to be a part of it.

And I had no choice but to accept. I mean, I tried declining, but he dragged me into it anyway.

To my surprise, it wasn't a cadet retreat group but a genuine study group. To be honest, I had no need to study.

Why? Because I am a genius.

But despite it all, since I was a part of the group, I had no choice but to study along with them.

And precisely because of that, I wasn't able to properly train in the last few days.

It felt really weird and somehow wrong not to be able to train for some time since it had now become my habit.

Gods, what did that old man do to my lazy self?

Anyway, as soon as I was done answering my last question, I breathed a sigh of relief and slammed my hands on the desk while standing up.

Noticing me rising from my seat, Liz raised an eyebrow and inquired, "What is it, Mr. Morningstar?"

"I'm done with my paper," I replied.

The whole class fell silent, diverting their attention from their answer sheets to look at me with bewildered gazes.

Even Liz couldn't help but stutter in surprise. "I-It's only been an hour. Are you sure you answered all the questions carefully?"

Instead of replying instantly, I strode down the steps and walked up to Liz. I handed her my filled-out paper and nodded.

"Yes, I even revised it. Can I leave now?"

A series of surprised gasps erupted from the nearby cadets who managed to overhear my statement.

Liz's eyebrows shot up in astonishment as well as she took the paper from my hand and placed it on her desk.

"Yes, you're free to leave now," she granted.

I nodded and headed outside. However, before I could step out of the door, Liz called out to me.

"Oh, and, Mr. Morningstar, come see me in my office before the commencement of the first-year practical exam," she added.

I glanced at her over my shoulder and nodded before exiting the classroom.

Walking out, I looked at the pen in my hand and gleamed in excitement. It was an ordinary ink pen that I had used to write my exam.

…Only, it wasn't so ordinary.

Heh!

===

Item: Ordinary Pen (Relic)

Status: Modified

Ability: Subconscious Answer

Description: This pen possesses the ability to draw out the answers from the user's subconscious.

Rank: Gold

Edit(Active): Allow me to write answers that I should know already.

===

Right? Right?! I really am a genius, right?!

I tried to create a pen that could answer every question there is, but the cost of making such a relic was obviously beyond my Edit Point balance.

Therefore, I settled for a pen that could make me write things I already know.

For instance, if I had even glanced at something for a second, I could recall it using this pen. It could basically said to be a replacement for my near-perfect memory.

But that's not all.

The Edit I made for this pen was that it should allow me to write answers that I "should" already know.

The emphasis is on "should."

This means, as long as I have the data stored in my mind, I can draw conclusions and formulate answers that I don't know yet but "should" know.

Ahh, I truly am a genius~!

With this pen, I didn't have to study even a bit.

I just glanced at every page of my syllabus notes and voila! I could answer every question related to the topics I studied.

With the help of this pen, I passed all my exams effortlessly.

Usually, I wouldn't leave the exam hall immediately to avoid raising suspicion of cheating, but today was the final written exam, so I decided to hit the gym early and train.

Also, I needed to create an outline for a winning strategy for the practical exam that'll start from tomorrow.

Haa, I had a lot of work to do even after that. I needed to start seriously thinking about what I should do in the second year.

"Fuuu~"

Placing the pen in my dimensional ring, I sighed and stretched my hands a little.

"Okay, let's go."
