Yeah I'd rather a complete chapter once a month or 2 months than this.
Anyways ch6 is also out (couldn't read it before since ch5 was hidden) and vol 1. is also available, too bad I can't read japanese.

@ReasonableSuspicion
If you want to know what happens
obviously he defeats her, her answer is a trap set by the school, the whole method and culprit is different.
Though what really disappointed me, rather than appeasing me, was that she cries, calls him a baka and runs away. Guess she's mentally an 8 year old.

Ultimately someone had to be shown to be incompetent; either the school faculty for rating his solution higher, or her for challenging him under that assumption. Either one is a really weird choice for a series with this kind of premise. A "fierce clash of wits"? The author might be writing cheques they can't cash here... Ah well, whatever.

it's already obvious she's intellectually inferior to MC in every way, so it's definitely not 'fierce clash' , not just 'might' :

can't trick him with her fake persona in chapter 1
ranked lower than MC, even though he was late so wasn't able to personally experience when the crime happened
can't keep even a little composure at her loss
assumed the grandson of the freaking crime king, lived a 'normal life' for no reason
she needed to accuse MC of cheating, challenge him (setting herself for obvious embarrassment), and mock his bloodline, shattering her fake persona in chapter 1 to everyone else (if they weren't stupid), instead of just asking him for his answer

and next chapter just makes it more obvious how outclassed she is.
