I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

11.skr～skr～

After leaving Professor Moriarty’s office, trying my best to keep calm so as not to arouse suspicion, I immediately took off, running to find Kefir who was probably about to take her advancement exam!

I owed Kefir an apology; due to my negligence and troublemaking, she, who should have been calmly taking her exams and then encountering “big news” for her upgrade, was now wrapped up in this troublesome script! And while I’m at it, I must criticize Rasputin: even a villain should have some professional integrity! If you have a problem, come at me, leave that girl alone!

Armed with the staff ID Professor Moriarty gave me, I followed the script to Kefir’s location and dashed off. When I arrived at Kefir’s classroom, panting, I barely managed to stay one step ahead of the script!

Looking around, I saw the classroom, now empty except for Kefir, the sole examinee, and standing at the lectern was none other than the noble Lady Rasputin and her cronies. This was an advancement exam, after all; with so many students at the Rublyanka Academy, how could it be that only Kefir needed to take it?

I didn’t even need to look at the script to know: this was clearly Rasputin abusing her authority, deliberately trying to trip up Kefir! And my dear Kefir was no naive sweetie; she must have understood Rasputin’s intentions in such a situation. Even so, Kefir showed no intention of leaving.

Even knowing she was being targeted, Kefir still wanted to continue the exam without leaving any room for gossip? Since the protagonist had decided so, I had no reason to hesitate!

“Kefir!”

I entered the classroom.

“Sorry, I overslept this morning! Let’s start the exam quickly!”

Rasputin panicked before Kefir could express her surprise.

The lady almost blurted out “Suka Blyat” but then changed her tone and shouted, “You… how are you here!?”

“Instructor Rasputin, this is Miss Kefir’s advancement exam. As her attendant, it’s completely within the academy’s rules for me to accompany her to the exam. You wouldn’t be trying to cheat, would you?”

Due to the vile nobility system, not only in the Rossiya Empire’s Rublyanka Academy but in almost all formal academies across various nations, those of noble status can bring attendants to their exams. Kefir was no exception; after all, she was a well-known young lady and the “protagonist.”

From noble mtl dot come

I seized this loophole to boldly come and assist! The rest was up to Kefir’s impromptu cooperation.

Miss Kefir, Boss Kefir! After you successfully finish the exam, I’ll apologize, wash your feet, fold your blankets, warm your bed, anything. Just don’t suddenly sabotage me now! Because I’m not here to cause trouble!

I saw Kefir’s surprised demeanor slowly calm down, and after a while, she turned her face slightly away and whispered back, allowing me to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Yes, he’s my exam companion.”

Fearing Rasputin would come up with another excuse, I hurriedly sat down next to Kefir. After all, this was an exam, and to prevent cheating, there were barriers in place, making it impossible to whisper to Kefir. I could only hope that Kefir would trust me, the charlatan, a bit more in what was to come.

Rasputin’s face, which had been gradually contorting at my appearance, relaxed significantly as if she had thought of some great joy, and she seemed afraid I would run away. After I came to Kefir’s side, she kicked the door shut with a loud “bang.”

“Lady Rasputin, wasn’t it agreed that…”

“Shut up! You idiots don’t understand a thing!”

She pushed her two cronies aside and then came up to us, winking and making faces.

“Rublyanka Academy does have an exam companion system, but if you still don’t pass, Miss Kefir, it’s not just you, even your attendant will have to fail. Our Rublyanka Academy has a strict academic atmosphere, and students who fail the advancement exam are ordered to leave school…”

“I remember Miss Kefir, your visa was also arranged because you’re a foreign student, right? If you’re expelled, I’m afraid you’ll have to pack your bags tomorrow and take your attendant back to your country with you.”

As soon as the voice fell, two extras behind Rasputin also spoke up.

“I’m in charge of personnel!”

“I handle the visas, skr!”

Have the villains now started offering one-stop services for performances?

【Rasputin wants to expel Kefir and her party from the Rossiya Empire.】

In the script, Rasputin’s intentions couldn’t be clearer. If it were just this level of threat and sarcasm, Kefir, a proud and top student, wouldn’t care. Just ignore the threats, if you’re strong enough, isn’t passing the test all that matters?

However…

“So next, I’ll hand out the exam paper to you, Miss Kefir. Speaking of which, the content of this exam is very difficult, covering the customs and long-standing traditions of my Rossiya Empire…”

“What do you mean!?”

At these words, Kefir couldn’t sit still anymore. After all, it seemed that Rasputin was not just wielding power, but… even the content of the exam had been changed to something beyond Kefir’s expectations!

The reason Kefir couldn’t pass the exam in the original script seems to lie here!

“Aren’t the exam questions for the advancement test decided by the scope set at each international summit!?”

“But this is the Rublyanka Academy, and I am now the tutor who decides whether you advance or not. Whatever I say goes, if you don’t like it, sue me~”

Rasputin grinned, as if he was sure of victory.

Then, as if to provoke us on purpose, he urged us, “Miss Kefir, if you haven’t studied well, just give up early. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a zero and be laughed at when your scores are out. They’ll say the ‘great Ying Empire’s’ genius is nothing special, maybe just a born fool…”

“!”

It was clearly a “test” meant to trap her, and Kefir would not accept it.

But just as she was silent, clenching her fists ready to stand up, I stopped her.

“Charlatan, you…”

“It’s okay.”

I gave Kefir a “no problem” smile, then looked towards Rasputin.

“Tutor, you’ve said so much, now give us the exam paper!”

“Tsk, Sukablyat… Hmph, I want to see you try writing with your heads!”

With that, Rasputin slapped an exam paper in front of me and Kefir, then immediately turned around and pressed the timer.

“Half an hour, not a second more.”

“…”

I didn’t agree, but picked up the pen.

How do you deal with a villain? In my principles, of course, it’s to hit back immediately if you can, to prevent them from playing tricks later. I might not be very good at fighting and brawling, needing Kefir to cover for me. But…

In a situation that can be solved with a bit of thinking…

Russians, I think you’ve messed with the wrong person.

【Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh】

“Just so you know, the passing score here is 99. You two foreigners can rack your brains out, haha~”

“Ah, done.”

Before Rasputin’s laughter could fade, I had already tossed my pen aside.

“I skipped the last question, just got 99 points.”

After all, one shouldn’t be too competitive, just be true to oneself.
