Title: Beauty Passes So Quickly, Even Angels Will Fall

Not long after, the first small test after entering school arrived.

The overall learning atmosphere at Shuchi’in Academy was relatively relaxed, with many extracurricular activities, but the students who attended here were basically in internal competition.

For students from ordinary families, studying was the only way to achieve success and change their lives.

For students who came from wealthy and prominent families, academic grades were the key to proving to their families whether they were worthy.

Coupled with the merger of several schools, the addition of talents from various fields meant that competition was not only fierce in academics but also among clubs striving to participate in and hold various competitions.

Many students who were admitted through special channels due to special talents had to win awards or prove that they had sufficient talent in their respective fields.

“Shin-chan, it’s the exam today, why aren’t you nervous at all!”

Facing the first exam at Shuchi’in Academy, Kazama was very nervous. This was an important step in his life planning.

Starting as class representative from the beginning of school, developing his abilities, getting reasonably good grades in the first exam, and then step by step striving to get into Todai!

“Nervous for what? Kazama, being too nervous will affect your grades.”

“By the way, have you seen Tenma-san these past few days? Why do I feel like she’s disappeared?”

Kazama was a bit strange; why did he feel like he hadn’t seen Gabriel these past few days? She had only transferred schools a few days ago and had already disappeared?

“Isn’t she next to Yukinon?”

Shinnosuke looked towards Yukino. At the desk next to her, there was a blonde-haired figure slumped over, looking very listless.

“Huh? That’s Tenma-san?”

Kazama’s eyes widened. Just then, Gabriel lifted her head, yawned, and revealed her somewhat disheveled face.

Her hair was messy, looking like it hadn’t been washed for several days, the dark circles under her eyes were severe, and her face was very pale, as if she had been staying up all night every day.

Yukino felt the change in Gabriel beside her most clearly. From the time she had just transferred schools to her current listless appearance, it hadn’t taken long.

Yukino suspected that something bad had happened in Gabriel’s family, causing her to change so drastically.

She was already preparing to make a request to the Service Club to see what was really happening to Gabriel and whether she could help her.

Why would such a sweet, angel-like child become like this?

What Yukino didn’t know was that Gabriel was simply addicted to online games. Every day she dragged Eriri and Shinnosuke to play party games with her. Even if the two of them couldn’t take it anymore, she wouldn’t go offline.

What kind of hard life did she have in heaven before? Ordering takeout, playing games, it was so much fun!

As for school matters, she just needed to deal with them casually. She was an angel!

It was just that her monthly allowance was too little, not enough for takeout and game top-ups at all! Fortunately, Katou-senpai was willing to prepare lunch for her, so kind!

Seeing that it was indeed Gabriel, Kazama was very shocked, the filter in his heart instantly shattered.

‘Then where did that cute Tenma-san go? Why has she become like this? Looks like an old man!’

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

The morning exams quickly ended. Shuchi’in Academy’s efficiency was very high; the afternoon exam results were already posted on the notice board.

“Shin-chan, let’s go see the grades together.”

Kazama was very nervous, somewhat afraid to look at his grades. He was quite satisfied with the morning exam; at least he had used all his abilities, but there were still many questions he couldn’t answer.

“Kazama, you’re not scared, are you?”

“How could I be! So are you going or not!”

“Alright alright, really can’t do anything with you. Yukinon, want to come?”

Shinnosuke saw that Yukino’s expression nearby wasn’t any better than Kazama’s; she also looked very anxious.

Lately, due to various things, Yukino had been somewhat lazy in studying, even a bit listless, feeling that it would be better to just give up and become a little cat, that was also quite nice.

But now that the results were out, her mother would definitely know soon, then what?

Hearing Shinnosuke’s invitation, Yukino nodded. She had to face it anyway; this was unavoidable.

Yukino turned her head, wanting to see how Gabriel was doing, but she noticed that after the bell rang, Gabriel quickly disappeared, not knowing where she went.

“Shin-chan, all this time, have you not studied at all except during class?”

From Shinnosuke’s lack of seriousness during class, Kazama could tell that Shinnosuke definitely didn’t study at all when he went home.

“That’s right, lately I’ve been playing games a lot with Gabriel and Eriri; those two are too crazy about games.”

Playing games? Gabriel?

Yukino keenly noticed the important point in Shinnosuke’s words. Could it be that Gabriel had fallen because of Shinnosuke and Eriri?

From their interaction that day, Gabriel wasn’t even very skilled at using a phone. How could such a person be addicted to games?

It must be Shinnosuke and that evil dog Eriri who tempted Gabriel to fall! Making such a good child become like this, it’s outrageous!

But when they arrived at the place where the grades were posted and saw the names at the very top, Yukino was still a little surprised.

The first place was actually a tie!

Suotome Ai and Gabriel were tied for first place, Shinomiya Kaguya was in second place.

Yukino’s and Kazama’s grades were within the top fifty, not too far behind. What surprised them both the most was that Shinnosuke was also within the top hundred!

It should be known that due to the school merger, the number of students in each grade was very large; being in the top hundred was already very good.

“Your grades aren’t even as good as Yukinon’s.”

“It’s already very good! Better than I expected.”

Kazama was quite satisfied with his grades. Although he was a bit surprised by Shinnosuke’s surprisingly good grades, it seemed that Shinnosuke’s grades hadn’t been too bad since childhood.

Yukino saw Gabriel and Ai tied for first place and was a bit surprised.

‘Is Gabriel-san that strong? I can’t let her continue to fall like this!’

Yukino searched again, and after searching for a long time, she finally saw Eriri’s name.

‘This evil dog, why are her grades so bad? Isn’t it too much? Isn’t she a half-breed? Why is her English grade a single digit?’

As for Utaha’s grades, they were also within the top fifty. Megumi’s grades were slightly worse than Shinnosuke’s, neither too good nor too bad.

How about changing the Service Club’s extracurricular activities to a study group? Everyone’s grades need to be improved!

Yukino was very strict with herself, it was just that too many things had happened during the beginning of this school year, making it impossible to focus on studying at all.
