Double Leaf and Motan both froze, letting out identical exclamations: "Huh?"
"This is the ideal outcome."
The Book Spirit glanced at the two of them, and said blandly, "But this is only the 'ideal outcome'. In that situation back then, you already did your best, at least that's what I personally think."
Motan, who had been inwardly cursing at missing out on a huge reward, nodded in agreement and smiled, "Actually, I'm quite satisfied with this result."
"Just because you're satisfied doesn't mean I'm satisfied."
Double Leaf huffed, squinting her beautiful eyes straight at the Book Spirit, "Seriously, Uncle Book Spirit, do you really think we had the ability to complete that 200-point exam paper? Even if there was only a one percent chance, do you think we really could have taken down the fortified Fourteen and absorbed that pirate crew called [Torture]?"
"I don't know."
