Special tricks? Kiana didn't believe him. In fact, she felt like she was about to get screwed over.
Kiana stared straight at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Although that night had made Kiana thoroughly understand the fact that "this body belongs to Ye Feng," it wasn't just her body; her mind also had conditioned reflexes. Now, seeing Ye Feng smile, Kiana felt her life was hanging by a thread.
"Since you don't need my help, then forget it."
"Mmm...?"
Hearing this, Kiana said suspiciously, "Do you really have a way?"
People are like that. When faced with someone else's overly enthusiastic help, they always suspect an ulterior motive. And they wouldn't be wrong; usually, there is indeed an ulterior motive.
Old Ye's motives had always been very simple.
"Of course, I have a way."
Ye Feng smiled. "If you were in the classroom, you would see a '+1' constantly appearing above my head. That indicates the growth of my learning."
"Knowledge?"
"Simply put, I've pretty much mastered all the knowledge stored in St. Freya High School. Naturally, I'm also intimately familiar with the school's test patterns and key learning points."
"??"
Kiana's eyes widened in disbelief. This was even harder to accept than the last time she came in and saw Ye Feng exercising on top of her.
"??"
Ye Feng returned her look with a question mark of his own. Why was this Tuna projecting her own standards onto him?
"What's with that expression? I'm here, it's not like I can only be fucking all the time, right?"
Kiana's face flushed red as she muttered under her breath, "You're so vulgar."
"Food and sex are natural desires. Didn't you feel good, too?"
"Of course not!"
Kiana's face turned beet red. She tilted her head up, a vein popping on her forehead as she argued, "How could it possibly feel good! It was awful! It was sour, dirty, and bitter!"
"Mmm... 'sour' is referring to the physical sensation, right? Don't mix it with taste, it's easy to cause misunderstandings."
"It's none of your business how I say it!" Kiana huffed.
In the real world, she got lectured by Bronya and the Class Rep on her grammar. In this Stigma Space, she had to be lectured by this guy, too?
Wait, why am I even discussing this with him...
Kiana returned to the topic at hand. "So, how can I quickly improve my scores?"
"Pressure."
"Huh?"
Kiana's big eyes blinked with little sparks of confusion.
"You're actually very smart, Kiana. You're just too undisciplined."
"Huh? You seem to know me pretty well."
The Tuna puffed out her chest proudly. Her curves weren't exactly full, but because her waist was so slender, it made her chest appear quite large. The aesthetic appeal of this combination was striking, especially when she charged forward as a Waist-Sprite Knight. It was truly captivating.
However, Ye Feng had never experienced this supreme enjoyment. No, to be precise, he had never experienced Kiana being proactive. Although he could hypnotize her or alter her common sense, what was the difference between that and fucking an ordinary NPC?
Ye Feng said seriously, "Don't interrupt, and don't get cocky. I'm just stating an objective fact."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the little Tuna's chin lifted even higher, like a proud little swan. Though she tried her best to suppress it, the corners of her mouth still curved up slightly.
How many years had it been? This was the first time someone had called her smart.
Sigh, if only Mei thought so too, Kiana thought to herself.
Kiana listened quietly and obediently as Ye Feng continued, "Kiana's learning ability is actually very strong. Whether it's Kaslana Gun Kata or Taixu Sword Qi, things others need to spend years, or even a lifetime, to master, you can grasp the essence of very quickly."
The Tuna blinked. Taixu Sword Qi? What? I don't know that. But she didn't interrupt. She was surprisingly focused.
"All of that was because your potential was stimulated under the immense pressure of your survival being threatened. So, now, I will devise a learning method tailored to you. By teaching you according to your aptitude, I guarantee you'll stun everyone."
"Ooh, ooh."
Stars were practically about to burst from Kiana's eyes. After all, the body in this world wasn't hers, but the knowledge she learned was real.
"Want to try it?"
"Of course."
"It'll be very tough, you know."
"I'm not afraid! As long as I can make that little munchkin admit defeat, what's a little hardship?"
"If you're sure you want my educational guidance, then sign this."
"Huh?"
Looking at the paper in front of her, Kiana's heart pounded. "This isn't some kind of nightmare contract, is it?"
"Pfft."
Ye Feng laughed. "In this world, if I wanted to do something to you, could you even resist?"
"..."
Although Kiana was furious, it was the truth.
She glanced at the paper and saw nine large, scrawled characters: I voluntarily accept educational guidance.
"That's it?"
"What else? What did you think it was?"
With the air of one summoning a divine brush, Kiana lifted her hand and grandly signed her full name: Kiana Kaslana. As she wrote, she muttered, "Why do you even need a written pledge for this? Making it all mysterious."
"Of course. I hate people who give up halfway. So, once the clothes come off, I'll see it through to the end."
"..."
The Tuna felt that Ye Feng's last sentence sounded a bit familiar. Where had she heard it before?
"Alright, receive it."
Ye Feng packaged the key points for the first term of St. Freya's freshmen into a compressed file and sent it to Kiana.
A "book and pen" icon appeared above Kiana's head.
"I've circled all the key points. You have a two-hour limit to memorize them. Then, I'll give you a test paper. For every question you get wrong, you take off one piece of clothing. You have to fold it neatly and place it to the side."
"Mmm-hmm, I underst—Eh?"
Hearing the last part, the Tuna was utterly dumbfounded.
What did he mean, "get one question wrong, take off one piece of clothing," and she had to fold it neatly?
Although this body had indeed been one hundred percent explored by this guy, Kiana had never been proactive about it. Being a passive recipient of exploration and being an active solver of the puzzle were two completely different things.
"What? Scared?"
"Huh? What's there for this young lady to be afraid of! It's just, don't you think this is... very perverted?"
"What do you think pressure is?" Ye Feng said. "It's something that makes you feel 'aversion' and 'pain'."
"..."
With a look that said, "You're not all that," Ye Feng remarked airily, "Well, even though you signed the pledge, you can still back out now. It's not like it's a binding contract. There's no punishment if you give up."
"Who said this young lady is giving up! It's just memorizing some stuff!"
