The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 62: Perfect Score Again!

For an extra, they weren't even that low. Considering that even a B grade with a value between 400 and 499 is considered pretty good.

Maybe it's because I'm a noble and not a commoner, or because even my notoriety is still some form of fame.

But the limitations are clear. No matter how infamous I might be as the son of a bitch from the Celtrin family, my notoriety was only known in my territory and its surroundings.

Even as a problem child at the academy, my presence is limited because I have no real skills. This figure reflects that limitation.

At least I need a presence worth counting on one hand in my grade. If this were the first year—the main grade in the game—it might be okay, but in the second year, where we're treated like background characters, I need a stronger presence.

Other than the named heroine, Elaine, almost all the important characters were wiped out. There's also Riviera, who I encountered after the ice battle, but she's an exception because she's on the enemy side.

Anyway, that's why I deliberately try to provoke more. Among the second-year students, there are many who openly hate or detest me. But there are quite a few who are indifferent, as if they don't care about trash like me.

It's those indifferent ones I want to make conscious of me. That's what I'm aiming for. Just making something conscious of you means it's an opportunity to raise your presence.

Of course, the results I'll get will depend on how I perform in this evaluation. I need to **create my own presence.** Today is the start of that. I've had no chances before to show off my skills or presence. But now, finally, the opportunity is here.

An opportunity to make a new impression on all the second-year students, teaching assistants, and professors.

Now, there's just one problem left. Well, technically, two problems left. But the second one is for Elaine's team, who'll likely get full marks on all three questions.

I'm not part of that story. So, for the third problem, I'll aim to get roughly top grades and finish there. That alone will be enough to boost my presence. If I try to tackle a question I don't even know how to answer, I'll embarrass myself and damage my image.

**I'll stop at the third question.**

That's what I've decided.

* * *

… … That's how it should have been.

"Wow, this is great again. It's perfect," Professor Karen said.

"Ughhhhh."

"Full marks again? Full marks again?"

"… …Are we dreaming?"

"Ah, let's just die. What's the point of living? I'm a dumbass worse than that kid. I should just die."

"Hey hey, catch him!"

The second-year students were causing trouble once again.

In that chaotic atmosphere, I too was feeling confused.

"Huh?"

A sound just came out of my mouth.

"What's wrong, Max?" Professor Karen asked, as if she found it strange.

I quickly brushed it off. "Oh, no. I just can't believe it… … ."

"Heh, it's an achievement that you've earned with your own skills, so accept it with peace of mind."

"… …Alright."

After nodding, I walked over to Riviera and gave her a pat on the back. It meant to go back to her seat and see.

"Some manners."

Riviera glared at me, but I ignored her.

* * *

"… …What are you?"

As soon as I returned to my seat, I blurted out, "Please help me."

That's right.

It was the third problem that caused an unexpected turn of events, which led to the first time I asked Riviera for help.

Because it was a hidden card that was saved for this time.

So, I managed to take out the carrot book I had prepared and use it.

That's good. However…

"Why is it full marks?"

"It's worth that much."

"… … ."

Value? Is it worth it to not take any more magic basics classes?

Yeah, let's say that's true.

It seems like you're the type of person who hates annoying things.

But the problem is that because of that, we ended up going to the last problem.

"Yeah. I said so."

"So you say?"

"I think I need help with the next problem too."

"What's the price?"

"In good conscience."

"I did everything I could in good conscience."

"… … ."

"… … ."

"Oh, just this once."

"I can't hear you."

"Hey, why are you making a fuss about getting full marks? I told you to just get moderately good grades."

"It's worth that much."

"… … ."

Yeah, that's right. He was a 4-dimensional villain.

Anyway, one thing is certain. It turned out that I had to solve the last problem alone, no, with a useless tofu mentality.

… … What the hell is this?

"Ah."

I ended up shutting my eyes tightly.

* * *

'Full marks again… … .'

Elaine's eyes wavered. She wanted to be calm, but she couldn't.

The third problem was one that even she found very tricky. It was even more difficult because they had laid a clever trap route that seemed like the answer.

Even the other royal groups, except for her group, all fell into the trap and ruined their evaluation.

'I was definitely embarrassed.'

When she checked briefly because she was nervous, Max definitely looked flustered. It seemed like he realized it was a trap too late.

She thought that was the end of it.

Time was running out. There would be no time to redo the answer.

However…

As if to mock her expectations, Max once again received full marks. In the end, he survived until the end.

'… … I will definitely find out.'

The truth about today's incomprehensible events.

The true nature of a man named Max.

Elaine frowned and bit her lip.

* * *

"Fucking bastard. Cowardly bastard. Deadly bastard. Bribed with money. Dirty bastard. Rich bastard.

Bastard with no morals… … ."

Someone was swearing nonstop. Dennis had a split personality. That was it.

The target of the verbal abuse was, of course, Max.

The bright, maddening look in his eyes spoke of Dennis' sharp, intense emotions.

"When it was over, you are dead meat."

Dennis chewed his teeth and made a promise.
