Cursed Villainess’ Obsession

Time flew quickly, and the day of the exam had arrived.

“I’m so nervous~.”

“How about it? Did you study well?”

“Isn’t coming in first place a bit too hard? I gave up halfway.”

Among the students chatting without tension, those who remained silent settled into a serious atmosphere.

At first, everyone put in their best effort for the exam study, but with the requirement of being the top student in the academy, most students easily gave up.

So, how was I, the one directly involved?

Naturally, I hadn’t given up yet.

The reason was that, unlike the other students, I had areas where I was confident.

‘Please let it be just like the game.’

In Epheris Academy, the exam events occur every semester.

Of course, since it’s a game, not every aspect of the exam is tested.

For high-scoring questions, players deduce the answers and write them down in mini-games to receive high scores.

Therefore, I already knew the high-scoring questions in advance.

The problem is that for the other general questions, it’s purely about raw skill.

Although I had studied, there were still many questions that were difficult for me to understand since I had suddenly possessed this body.

‘I wonder if the other kids prepared well?’

I turned my head for a moment to look at Emily, who was in the same class.

With a serious expression, Emily was intently staring at her memorization questions.

She seemed to be reviewing the last things she needed to memorize.

Then, suddenly noticing my gaze, our eyes met.

‘Oh no, I interrupted her.’

Emily, caught off guard, blushed and quickly looked away, flustered.

Then she looked back at me and mouthed,

‘Hang in there.’

Seeing that, I couldn’t help but smile and waved my hand at her.

Emily, who had been flustered, carefully smiled back and resumed looking at her study materials.

‘It would be nice if it weren’t just me, but if either Emily or Mary got first place….’

Or maybe if Lafne came in first, that would be good too.

Of course, with Lafne, if she won the wish ticket, there was a possibility she’d go on a rampage, so I preferred the other two.
