I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

"Kudo, instead of worrying about others, you should think about yourself. Keio University is a place that others can get into easily."

Aki Tomoya joked from the side.

"Long-winded!"

Sayaka Kudo rolled her eyes at Tomoya Aki, then her gaze lingered on Tomoya Aki and Fumino Furuhashi for a moment.

The current staffing at Qingfeng Academy is quite unusual, she couldn't help but think.

"Upon closer inspection, Aki started studying to get into the University of Tokyo's third science department in her second year of high school, I was a gyaru who started studying to get into Keio University's Faculty of Letters in my second year of high school, and finally Furuhashi, she was a humanities genius who wanted to get into the Faculty of Science!"

At this moment, Sayaka Kudo succinctly revealed the current state of Aomine Academy.

After saying that, Sayaka Kudo couldn't help but laugh.

It was just so interesting that I couldn't resist.

Aki Tomoya was also taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that it was indeed such a delicate situation.

"So tell me, out of the three of us, which one has the best chance of getting into their desired university?"

Sayaka Kudo whispered to Tomoya Aki.

If it were up to her, she would first eliminate herself, then consider Fumino Furuhashi's mathematical talent and eliminate her as well, leaving only Tomoya Aki.

So no matter how you look at it, the guy next door still has the best chance of succeeding.

"Kudo-kun, from my perspective as your teacher, I hope everyone gets into their desired university!"

"Harumi-sensei, don't eavesdrop on other people's conversations!"

Not knowing when Harumi Junko had moved to the back, Kudo Sayaka was so startled that she immediately slumped onto the table.

Meanwhile, looking at Fumino Furuhashi, although she hadn't noticed the commotion, she still looked dejected.

After all, summer vacation is coming to an end, and the two weeks of tutoring that Fumino Furuhashi managed to secure are also coming to an end.

With three lessons a week and a total of six lessons, her math skills, while not exactly stagnant, are not looking good as the week draws to a close.

"Harumi-sensei, you really are planning to send me to Keio University!"

Kudo Sayaka turned around and smiled at Harumi Junko, her gaze subtly drifting into the office where Mr. Tsubota was rubbing his face, deep in thought.

"Isn't that obvious? You're my student..."

Harumi Junko answered naturally, but then she remembered Furuhashi Fumino behind her, and her face showed a lot of trouble.

Before the summer vacation was about to end, their efforts to recruit Fumino Furuhashi had not yielded any significant results.

This made Junko Harumi question her own abilities, and she couldn't help but worry about Fumino Furuhashi herself.

The teaching of Fumino Furuhashi these days has not been very effective, and this humanities genius of Ichinose Academy is now somewhat depressed.

To be honest, both she and Mr. Tsubota hoped to have a conversation with Fumino Furuhashi's parents, but Fumino Furuhashi was very resistant to it.

"If only I had even one percent of the talent for humanities..."

Harumi Junko muttered to herself.

If Fumino Furuhashi had even one percent of the learning ability of a humanities student, things wouldn't be so difficult for her now.

"Guqiao-kun still has one last day of class the day after tomorrow, right?"

Aki Tomoya asked in a low voice.

If he remembers correctly, the day after tomorrow will be Fumino Furuhashi's last day of class.

Fumino Furuhashi's tutoring at Aomine Academy continued until the end of summer vacation, as Mr. Tsubota had said.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Fumino Furuhashi will probably be leaving Aomine Academy after summer vacation.

"Ah."

Harumi Junko nodded. That was precisely why she and Mr. Tsubota were having headaches.

They really can't feel at ease with Fumino Furuhashi in her current state.

"Until the end of summer vacation?"

Kudo Sayaka, belatedly realizing what was happening, looked surprised. She had thought that Furuhashi Fumino would continue to stay at the academy.

She wasn't here on the 15th, so she didn't know that Fumino Furuhashi was just taking extra classes at the academy for the last half of summer vacation.

Moreover, it was only because the tutoring schedule was rearranged this week that I was able to attend the same cram school as Fumino Furuhashi this week.

After receiving affirmative glances from Aki Tomoya and Harumi Junko, Kudo Sayaka looked at Furuhashi Fumino with some complicated feelings.

She really wanted to tell him not to give up, but when she thought about his reputation as a humanities genius, she felt that she didn't have the right to encourage him.

But isn't it too pitiful that girl of the same age works so hard but gets no reward at all?

The three people present sighed in unison, as if they all felt it was a great pity.

After the afternoon and evening tutoring sessions ended, everyone packed up to go home, while Fumino Furuhashi looked at her reference book somewhat absentmindedly.

"There's only one day left..."

Fumino Furuhashi's eyes filled with helplessness as she thought about the only tutoring class she had left until the day after tomorrow. She slowly packed her things, said goodbye to her teachers, and then stopped at the door downstairs, not leaving immediately.

She stood against the wall, looked up at the Qingfeng Academy above, and then at the sky dotted with stars.

"Guqiao-kun? It's so late, aren't you going home?"

Just as Fumino Furuhashi was about to immerse herself in the starlight, a questioning voice came from beside him.

Coming to her senses, Fumino Furuhashi turned to look at the person next to her and immediately recognized him as Tomoya Aki, the boy she had met on her first day at the academy.

"Aki-kun, you're the last one to leave. I'll be going back soon too."

Fumino Furuhashi replied, her eyes filled with worry.

After the summer vacation ends, should I ask the teachers at Ichinose Academy for guidance, or should I look for another cram school?

Even with guidance from school teachers, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

But if you look for other private schools, the situation will probably be the same as when summer vacation started.

In the end, places like Aomine Academy might still exist throughout Tokyo, but they're definitely hard to find.

Aki Tomoya looked at Furuhashi Fumino with some admiration, because at this moment Furuhashi Fumino did not give up on herself, but continued to think of a solution.

But that's precisely why people are even more puzzled as to why she did this.

"Has Gu Qiao decided on the university you want to attend?"

Aki Tomoya walked to the other side of the stairwell entrance and leaned against the wall to ask.

"No, even the most basic exercises are difficult now, so there's no way to choose a specific university."

Chapter 78 The Pursuit of Dreams is Admirable (4/4)

As for her first choice university, Fumino Furuhashi has a direction in mind, but given the current situation, it's a bit too early to talk about that.

With her current level of science knowledge, she doesn't need to consider this yet.

"Really? So you haven't decided yet."

Aki Tomoya nodded slightly. Although the other party said it was not confirmed, he should have a preferred university.

Right now, in the office of Aomine Academy, there are still two people who are having a headache over Fumino Furuhashi's matter.

Aki Tomoya, the last to leave the academy, saw it all clearly. Mr. Tsubota's conflicted expression was probably due to self-reproach.

Although it was only two weeks and six classes of tutoring, the results were disappointing, which was a blow to Mr. Tsubota.

"Guqiao-kun really likes stars, doesn't he?"

Aki Tomoya suddenly said.

On the other side, Fumino Furuhashi looked over in surprise, a puzzled expression on her face.

Why would he know?

"To be honest, I was quite embarrassed to admit that when I first came to the academy last semester, I had a lot of problems with humanities subjects, especially writing, and I received a lot of help from Mr. Tsubota for that..."

Aki Tomoya spoke slowly.

Fumino Furuhashi still looked puzzled, not understanding how this had anything to do with what he had just said.

"Because of Professor Tsubota, I have had the privilege of reading several of your articles, and your writing is very inspiring."

Aki Tomoya smiled sheepishly as he spoke.

In a way, he was someone who had received her care; during the first semester, he had read several articles written by Fumino Furuhashi.

Although they had never met before the 15th, Aki Tomoya quite admired this humanities genius from Ichinose Academy.

However, on the same day, the 15th, after meeting Fumino Furuhashi, Tomoya Aki was also shocked by her ambition.

Despite possessing exceptional talent in the humanities, she chose to take a science exam that was extremely challenging for her.
