My Daughters Are Regressors

Chapter 224: Going to School! (4)

Naru, Hina and Cecily. And Tywin arrived at the exam site in an instant in her father Judas’s arms. Judas could move through space with just a stomp of his foot, without needing to walk.

“Kids, let’s hope you do a little better on the test than what you studied for.”

Hoping to do better on the test than what they studied. It was completely a thief’s mindset. But Judas was a thief and the little Judas children had plenty of thieving potential.

“I’m going to copy from the person sitting next to me!”

Naru was full of energy at the thought of copying her neighbor’s answer sheet. For her, cheating without getting caught wasn’t a difficult task at all.

“Naru Style, Naru’s Eastern Arts!”

Pat— When Naru formed a hand seal, her black obsidian eyes sparkled beautifully. 《Naru’s Eastern Arts》. It was an ability Naru could use since birth, after quickly recovering from a fever in her mother’s womb. The ability had many uses. If she put her mind to it, peeking at and copying the answer sheet of the person in front was no big deal.

“Well then, goodbye!”

Buzz— Buzz— Naru waved to her dad with sparkling eyes. Soon Cecily, Hina and Tywin also said goodbye to their dad.

After patting each child’s head once, Judas vanished in an instant. Now only the children remained. After escorting each child to their exam room, Tywin also entered the exam room where she would serve as a ‘proctor’.

And so the written exam began. When Naru received her test paper, she became slightly nervous.

「Question 3 - Choose the correct cry of the harmful bird Michuri +5 points」 (1) - Cheep cheep (2) - Jiji baebae (3) - Hoeeeeek! (4) - Churi churi michuri! (5) - …Dat! …Dat!

“Hmmmm…”

Naru found herself in quite a predicament. The questions were harder than she expected. ‘…What kind of animal is Mitchuri? I feel like I’ve seen this question before but I can’t remember! Naru likes raccoons!’ Her head was already throbbing!

Rustle— Rustle—

“…It’s too hard.” “Multiplying three digit numbers… how am I supposed to…” “Mom will scold me if I fail…” “Shh, silence. Silence. Any student who speaks without permission during the exam will receive point deductions from me, Ethics Teacher Hegel. Don’t turn your heads to the side either. You there, point deduction!” “Eeeek…!”

The atmosphere in the exam room was heavy. Now all that could be heard was the scratch— Scratch— sound of pens writing on paper and someone’s sniffling.

‘Naru doesn’t know!’ Naru became a bit depressed looking at the test paper. She had studied hard with Brigitte, Salome and Cariote. But now that she was looking at the test, she couldn’t remember anything.

━Naru, you just need to pass the minimum. 30 points. So rather than studying broadly but shallowly, let’s focus on just a few questions you can definitely get right.

Naru recalled Brigitte’s kind voice. She felt strength gradually building in her body.

‘…Naru can do this!’ She examines the test paper.

And finds a familiar topic.

「Question 12 - List 3 or more types of nymph evolution! + 5 points」

‘Stream water! Honey water! Squirmy water!’

Indeed. There was a question Brigitte had pointed out. Naru’s mood improved a bit.

‘I feel like I’ve seen this question before! Was it in the practice questions?’

She solved five questions that way. At 5 points per question, that’s at least 25 points.

‘Mom said I need to get over 30 points?’

5 points. Was there a way to definitely get one more question right? Naru saw Cecily next to her, writing answers on her sheet without pause. Her expression looked very confident too. Naru Style. 「Naru Style」!

“Hmm? Where’s this chill from… Is the window open…”

Cecily shivered. Naru was slightly shocked to realize through her technique that Cecily’s answers were almost identical to her own.

‘Cecily isn’t much help on written tests! Hina would be done by now! Hina likes reading so she likes studying too! But Hina is in a different exam room.’

While Naru was making various Hmmmm—

Slide— Someone approached Naru’s side. Was it one of the exam proctors?

“Number 5 and number 3.”

The proctor muttered in a very small voice. When Naru slightly lifted her head, she saw a woman with beautifully curled red hair glancing at her. It was Elizabeth.

‘Wow, holy shh, Elizabeth!’

Elizabeth had entered this classroom as an assistant proctor. Elizabeth secretly gave Naru several answers and Naru hurriedly wrote them down.

The interview was conducted with multiple children entering the same room simultaneously. Originally school rules required multiple teachers per child, but in the past 5 years Graham Academy’s applicants had more than doubled, leading to time constraints. Naru, Cecily and Hina. Thanks to the newly changed interview rules, these three were able to have their interview together.

As the children headed to the interview room.

“Naru, did you do well on the test?”

Hina asked Naru with a slightly worried feeling. Soon Naru raised her hand high with enthusiasm.

“Elizabeth gave Naru answers so I solved 2 more questions! I should be able to pass the minimum!”

“……”

Hina was slightly relieved that Naru could pass the minimum. If Naru could get through the written test, there shouldn’t be any problems with the entrance exam now.

Rattle—

“Next students, come in.”

When the interview room door opened and the teachers’ voices were heard, Naru and her sisters entered the classroom. There was a desk and several chairs placed. As Naru and the children sat down, the rather strict-looking female teacher Curie shuffled through scoring sheets and asked coldly.@@novelbin@@

“Naru. Hina. Cecily. Looking at this, you three are sisters born in the same household? Why do you want to enter this Graham Academy?”

Curie was a new female teacher who joined Graham Academy a year ago. Though young and new, she was so strict she had earned the nickname ‘Medusa’. Just as she was thinking of finding faults with these three children to deduct points—Naru raised her hand.

“Graham Academy’s cafeteria food is delicious!”

“……”

‘The cafeteria food is delicious. You’re thinking of entering this school for such a trivial reason? No matter how great your parents might be, that won’t work with me!’

Curie took pride in working as a teacher at a world-class school. Also being from a commoner background herself, she rather enjoyed having nobles and high officials bow their heads to her when bringing their children. As she thought about putting these children and their parents in their place, Curie cleared her throat Ahem—

“Yes, Graham Academy’s cafeteria food is delicious since it’s made by carefully selected chefs. Then Miss Hina, let me ask you a question. If you’re walking down the street and see an elderly person and a child collapsed, who would you help first?”

It was quite a difficult dilemma. Could that gentle-looking pink-haired girl answer this? No matter what answer she gave, there would be plenty to deduct points for.

Soon Hina opened her small lips.

“The elderly person…” “Oh? Why is that?” “Children have Molumolu… When they suddenly collapse or face danger, Molumolu will… provide first aid and transport them to clinics on their own… But since elderly people don’t have Molumolu, we need to help them…”

It was a perfect answer. But Curie deducted about 5 points out of 100 because she didn’t like the slight hesitation in her speech.

‘Now the only one left to question is the blonde girl.’

Curie looked at Cecily. She was quite pretty and sat very properly like a doll. Her dress and attire were immaculate with nothing to criticize. Having such a girl enter Graham Academy and walk around in uniform would itself be good publicity and raise the school’s prestige. Curie gave Cecily 100 points without asking anything. Instead she decided to ask one more question to Naru who had given the strange answer.

“Miss Naru, who do you like better between mom and dad?”

It was a very difficult challenge. Very few students had properly answered this question. As Curie smiled triumphantly, Naru instead asked back.

“Naru has multiple moms, can I choose them all at once?” “Multiple moms?”

Curie checked Naru’s personal information again. In the mother field, only ‘Brigitte’ was written. Soon Naru exclaimed enthusiastically.

“Naru loves all her moms! Naru has three moms! And I love Cecily and Hina too! And Tywin! And Molumolu! And Elizabeth! Naru is happy to be born in this world!”

“……”

“I like Teacher Curie too!”

Whoosh— Naru ran over and hugged Curie’s neck. Naru had a nice scent. It was the smell of strawberries. And like most children, Naru was warm and soft and squishy. Curie suddenly recalled her past self who wanted to become a teacher because she loved children. It was a memory she had forgotten recently due to busy work and pressure from parents.

“Keep loving the world like that.”

Scribble— Scribble— Scribble— Naru received 80 points out of 100. It was quite a high score. Now all that remained for the children was the practical /genesisforsaken
