I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

"If possible, I would still like to go to a national university."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya shook his head and laughed.

Private universities are too expensive just in terms of tuition fees, especially medical universities and medical schools.

For public universities, there are no other costs to consider for the time being, as tuition fees are at least uniform.

"My primary goal remains the University of Tokyo, and that will absolutely not change before the final mock exam and the national unified exam. Even if competing with those aliens is really a stretch..."

"Ride 1 and Ride 2 are actually the real backups in Aki's heart!"

Harumi Junko then took over the conversation.

Getting into the University of Tokyo didn't mean the competition was over; it was more like a third round of selection.

The specific major is determined in the third year of university. The first two years are collectively referred to as the Faculty of Liberal Arts. Even those who take the third year of science exams can be brought down by people like Tomoya Aki if they are not careful.

Getting into the University of Tokyo is the first stage goal, and the third stage goal is the science major. Aki Tomoya has kept quite a few options for himself.

Only the most stubborn people will persist in their relentless pursuit!

However, setting your sights on Science 3 is absolutely essential!

Strive towards this goal and put in the effort; the results will be outstanding!

Mr. Tsubota and Junko Harumi looked at Tomoya Aki's face and felt quite emotional. While others might not know the situation and only think that Tomoya Aki was stubbornly sticking to his guns, he actually had a complete plan in mind and had prepared alternative options.

From birth, everyone faces competition. When it comes to exams, whether you focus on strategy or hard work, you absolutely cannot be inflexible.

This is a sentence that Aki Tomoya keeps in mind, especially for prestigious universities. They don't like rigid people; they need people with active minds who can be cultivated.

After the discussion with the academy instructor in October, Aki Tomoya returned to his seat, and another student took his place in front of Mr. Tsubota.

Aki Tomoya opened the reference book in front of him, but as soon as he opened it, the subtle look in the eyes of the person next to him made him turn his head to look over.

"Kudo, is there something on my face?"

Aki Tomoya asked, puzzled.

I don't think I've done anything that would attract other people's attention.

At that moment, because of Kudo Sayaka's gaze, Aki Tomoya suddenly noticed that for a brief moment, everyone seemed to be looking over.

But now, looking at the people around him, apart from Sayaka Kudo next door and Fumino Furuhashi behind him who was looking at him with envy, everyone else had started to bury themselves in their studies.

"My first choice is the Faculty of Letters at Keio University."

Sayaka Kudo sounded somewhat envious.

Her reaction made Aki Tomoya chuckle awkwardly. What's wrong with that?

Your first choice is Keio University's Faculty of Letters, isn't that great!

"Aki's third choice is Keio University's Faculty of Medicine. Are you even human?"

Sayaka Kudo looked at Tomoya Aki with a surprised expression.

If we were to create an internal hierarchy of disdain within Keio University, Keio's medical school would undoubtedly be at the top, looking down on all the other faculties.

This applies to any Japanese university with a medical school, which is absolutely at the very top of the hierarchy.

Her third choice was only Keio University's medical school, and Sayaka Kudo had very mixed feelings at that moment.

"Indeed, people cannot be compared with each other!"

Sayaka Kudo sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Having such a deskmate, Sayaka Kudo couldn't find any other adjective to describe it except "amazing".

"If you feel resentful, then pray that when you get into Keio University's Faculty of Letters, you'll see me looking pathetic in college."

Aki Tomo didn't know how to comfort Kudo Sayaka, who was feeling a bit hurt at the moment.

At this point, all you can do is let the other person imagine that he failed his exam, entered Keio University in a sorry state, and then met Sayaka Kudo.

Kudo Sayaka was speechless. Getting into Keio University was nothing short of a disgrace; it was downright inhuman!

"I absolutely do not want to see you in Keio!"

Sayaka Kudo wrinkled her nose and said fiercely to Tomoya Aki.

The comparisons between individuals are sufficient to remain within the school. Why subject them to criticism after they pass the Keio entrance exam?

Keio University is one of the top four private universities!

"You failed the entrance exam for Keio University despite being down on your luck? Forget about it!"

The end of Chapter 91? (4/4)

It's natural to make comparisons; people always unconsciously compare themselves to others, or are compared to others.

At Qingfeng Academy, everyone has experienced something like this to some extent, but most of those who have persevered here have gotten used to it.

Now that there's Aki Tomoya, most people are probably envious. He plans his life in such an organized way, which is truly admirable. He has an optimistic attitude, but it's not blind confidence. It's as if he's always looking forward to the future while also being aware of everything around him.

Therefore, at this point, teachers need to step in and intervene. How to use this person as a powerful motivator depends on how the teacher does it.

Mr. Tsubota is very good at this kind of thing.

"It is a fortunate thing to be able to work together. People always influence each other, and it is up to us to adjust the balance."

This is how Mr. Tsubota taught Junko Harumi.

While they influence each other, it's not always for the better.

As teachers, we need to regulate the balance in students' hearts and minds, and we must avoid unnecessary pressure!

We are all comrades-in-arms working together towards a common goal in this place.

Harumi Junko watched as Mr. Tsubota displayed his unique "magic." As a tutor at the same cram school, Harumi Junko was gradually regaining her former confidence and abilities, but as a teacher, she was still working hard to learn.

"It would be great if everyone could achieve their goals."

It's a good idea to hope that everyone's wishes come true, but Junko Harumi knows it's difficult.

The two most intuitive examples—

Fumino Furuhashi is one of them. She struggles with math and science and is currently working towards passing. She has a good chance of getting into the astronomy department, but it's very slim.

Sayaka Kudo is the second one. She is very hardworking, but three days of classes a week is not enough, and her chances of getting into Keio University's Faculty of Letters are not high.

Everyone is working hard, and even if they put in more effort than the average person, achieving their goals is not so easy.

At the beginning of October, Harumi Junko took some time to record things about Aomine Academy. What she thought about most and was most worried about was not Aki Tomoya taking the University of Tokyo entrance exam, but Furuhashi Fumino and Kudo Sayaka.

It's very difficult for the former to get into the astronomy department, and it's also very difficult for the latter to get into Keio University, one of the top four private universities.

For the first time, she had such a strong desire. After finding her purpose again in Aki Tomoya, she wanted to keep moving forward after a long period of stagnation.

Whether it was friends, family, or former colleagues and superiors from Sannoh Gakujuku, they all looked at her with surprise, as if they were seeing her in a new light.

"Thirty-five points, getting closer and closer to passing, Furuhashi-kun!"

Harumi Junko looked at her latest test score with surprise and felt an urge to cry.

Although the effects weren't many, the fact that they were there meant there was still hope.

Perhaps we can't help Fumino Furuhashi get into Keio or Waseda University as easily as she would into a humanities major, but there's still some hope that she can get into a decent private university.

As long as Fumino Furuhashi doesn't stagnate, there is still hope.

The alternating tutoring with Mr. Tsubota was effective, and the two tutors at the cram school also experienced less pressure.

"Thirty-five...that's pretty much an increase in age, isn't it!"

Fumino Furuhashi, who was infected, looked at her test paper optimistically and nodded to herself.

After finishing their tutoring session, Fumino Furuhashi and Sayaka Kudo went downstairs together.

"That guy Aki is so mean. We both started learning in the second year of high school, but his progress is so discouraging."

Kudo Sayaka complained as she pushed her bicycle alongside Furuhashi Fumino, feeling angry whenever she thought of Aki Tomoya's inhuman words.

"Sayaka, you've been working hard lately, haven't you!"

Fumino Furuhashi chuckled softly.

Sayaka Kudo turned to look at Fumino Furuhashi, still wrinkling her nose as she replied, "It's all Aki's fault!"

She wanted to be like Aki Tomoya, and after getting into Keio University, she would give her homeroom teacher Nishimura, who looked down on her, a good opportunity to mock him!

Fumino Furuhashi smiled without saying a word. Being able to make friends here meant she wouldn't feel lonely.

As the two walked away, a smart, long-haired woman in a business suit was silently watching their backs, or rather, Fumino Furuhashi's back.

"Aomine?"

The woman looked up at the upstairs, silently memorizing the name of the school, intending to investigate its teaching standards when she returned.

It was something that women would never have imagined that Ichinose, a top student, would be receiving tutoring in such an elementary school cram school.

Moreover, especially since she is also this top student's tutor, it's inevitable that comparisons will arise.

Do you come here three days a week?
