CHAPTER 52

"So, how are you exactly going to do it ?", Rachel asked.

Arata had brought along Rachel today as she was mostly free for today. She didn't have anything to do until the banquet party. She was expert in assassinating a lot in a row, so she didn't take part in the assassination with Greed and Envy.

"We are just going to do the same thing, but this time, I will have to help you with the test. For the technology, there will be more maths involved, so I will help you.", she said.

"Why do we even need to write the test ?", Rachel asked.

"To prove our sincerity. We can only deceit people who trust us. We obviously cannot fool people who are cautious of us. And we want a guarantee. And you play a good role as an honour student. Like a scholar.", Arata said.

"You flatter me ! You clearly know everything better than me !", Rachel exclaimed. Arata had chosen Music as a carrier as it was the only thing he couldn't master over his schooling years. All the sciences and mathematics were too easy for Arata over his schooling years. So he chose to go to a music conservatory.

"Well, my genes are of two evil geniuses. So I am one too.", Arata said.

Rachel knew very well about what Arata was talking about. Soon, they had to face Arata's parents too. As they were probably in the Clover KIngdom.

She applied for the exam, which she then took immediately after. Other people would take the exam on the public day but Rachel decided to take in solitude. The office appreciated this thought, as there were many incidences of copying in the past, so giving it alone had raised her reputation.

When she received the paper, and saw many questions on matrices and calculus. Most of them were nested questions, she couldn't figure out some patterns for the Sequences for common terms. She then did what she wanted to try. Invisible Arata sat close to her. She then entered the soul world of Arata. Meanwhile Arata had begun reciting the summoner scroll, to communicate with her in the soul world, like with Misty, in his 'consciousness'.

"Oh this is interesting. Just try the Quadratic equation with two variables method. Actually no, never mind, it won't work out with the Determinant of Matrices. The answer has to be trial and error. 'K' should be 49 in this.", Arata said.

"I see. So k - 20 is 29. What about this Trig one.", Rachel asked.

"Hmm.. They tried to trick you with using the formula but its tricky. Try to begin it from scratch. I need a pen and paper to solve it, I will just check the final answer you get.", Arata answered.

"OK darling. I will do the ones which I can now, I will ask you when I don't get something.", Rachel said this and left. SHe was low on time, there was no time for chat, she had to solve a lot of questions, if she was aiming for an almost perfect score.

"This would be a pretty easy question for you no ? Why didn't you answer it straight to her.", Misty asked.

"I don't want to pamper her. And I don't want her to pamper me. Increasing each other's knowledge is the goal. I am not a protagonist of some series. I am not really telling that novels don't reflect the real world, like they say in the novels, man fuck it. Just let it be as is.", Arata said.

Haha, looks like he is a modern literature fan, Misty thought. Misty just thought it would be rational to help her finish the paper as soon as possible, but she respected Arata's decision.
