Chapter 2

## Their First Contest

(Part 1)

This is the second chapter of the manga adaptation for *I'm in Love with the Villainess Wiki* series.

## Plot

 Rei Taylor previously known as  Oohasi Rei was your typical office worker from Japan when suddenly she gets awoken inside the Otome Game Revolution.

 Rei Taylor persists in making contact with Claire François by encountering her numerous amounts of times and spouting out her affection with all outcomes ending with lackluster results. Lady Claire has become very frustrated with Rei for her fruitless efforts however she is enlightened when having tea with her friends about an upcoming examination. She presents this to Rei and challenges her to a competition of who can score the highest during the examination which includes varying different categories such as Liberal Arts, Etiquette, and Magical Prowess. Rei declines her challenge at first since there wasn't an incentive for her to compete and since Claire states if she wins "If I win, Then you'll leave this Academy at once" Claire keeps persisting eventually Rei accepts under one conduction "Lady Claire must grant one favor of her choosing".

Claire François askes Misha Jur to become the witness for the match. Misha states that the qualifications for enrolling in the  Academy were decided by the  King himself however Claire states "A commoner, who was deeply ashamed by their own lack of abilities, will choose to leave on their own accord" meaning it's a mutual agreement with this they both swear to God.

The Literacy Arts exam began while many students seem to be confused Claire François appears very confident due to her status since the literacy rate among the commoners is commonly very low compared to Nobles. However  Rei Taylor breezes through the exam since Rei's past life she studied the test more times than she can remember due to her obsession with the  Revolution Game.

The second exam Etiquette was challenging to  Rei Taylor as showing table manners in real life was much more difficult compared to selecting the correct options in the game. The examiners are checking for not only proper manners but they're also watching how you enter the room your posture when sitting and where you look during the meal. Claire François has no issues with such adjustments as this is a normal aspect of her life. Rei notices Claire and states "She's way too hot" and every move she makes is sophisticated due to that Rei takes a point deduction.

The final exam Magical Prowess which  Rei Taylor states is the only exam that doesn't favor the Nobles. Magic will lead to a new era of change which is why the  King wishes to appoint as many people who have the ability to lead the country forward regardless of their background. This test was split into two stages Basic Power Levels and Aptitude. The basic magical test measures your innate power level as well as your elemental aptitude. The four elemental attributes include Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, Each person usually has an aptitude for one element. Magic power is ranked as Extreme, High, Medium, Low, and None, That's the five-grade rating system as long as you have some magical power those levels will grow with training but it's nearly impossible to narrow the gap between someone with a higher innate amount of magical power. When Rei was getting her measurement of magical power she notices Lady Claire being praised by her two friends for having such a high aptitude for fire magic while the instructor was distracted by Lady Claire, Rei place her hand on the measurement tool. We are then shown  Prince Rodd using fire magic for his practical exam as well as  Prince Thane using wind magic. Rei was next to do her practical exam and used water magic  Prince Yu witnessed her practical and said "She definitely has a gift for it" to Prince Todd which leads to Prince Todd becoming interested in her.

Near the end of the chapter  Rei Taylor knocks on Claire François dorm room needing a goodnight hug to recharge her Claire energy when Claire dumps tea on her head. She then asks  Misha to borrow some new pajamas.
