Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

However.

However, in private, many students said that Beitiaozaki Rei was just someone with brawn but no brains,

In terms of academics, no one acknowledged him.

This matter was actually also acknowledged by the other students in Class Three.

However, now, Hojo Saki Rei was being questioned by the Teacher.

Those students who had doubts about Hojo Saki Rei's academic performance naturally became interested and wanted to see what level Hojo Saki Rei's skills had reached.

Asahi Rinka, who was sitting next to Hojo Saki Rei, was also very curious when she saw Hojo Saki Rei listening intently in class, wondering if Hojo Saki Rei had really understood everything.

Because, there were still some parts of the questions the Teacher mentioned that she hadn't understood.

“Teacher, I understood some of it.”

Hojo Saki Rei stood up and replied very casually.

Being called on by the Teacher in class, and a public class at that, Hojo Saki Rei had never thought before that this situation would happen to him.

Because this probability was simply too small.

Unless, the Teacher giving the lecture had a very good impression of the student.

At this moment, looking at the Teacher watching him with such an expectant look, Hojo Saki Rei knew that this Teacher clearly had a very good impression of him.

After hearing Hojo Saki Rei's answer, Tomoda Minako, who was a little worried on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

As Hojo Saki Rei's homeroom Teacher, she knew better than anyone else what Hojo Saki Rei's situation was like in class.

Actually, she hadn't expected that Hojo Saki Rei would actually be questioned by the Teacher giving this public class.

When she saw Hojo Saki Rei being questioned, she just felt that Hojo Saki Rei was pretending too much in this class; he looked exceptionally serious, so it was quite normal for the Teacher to question him.

Of course, she was also very worried that Hojo Saki Rei would say he didn't understand anything.

If that were the case, it would definitely disappoint this Teacher.

“Okay, it seems this student is quite diligent in his studies. Student, can I ask you a few questions about physics knowledge? Perhaps these questions might be a bit beyond the syllabus.”

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say he understood a little, the Teacher on the stage also showed a smile on his face.

Although this was a public class, he still felt that Hojo Saki Rei seemed a bit different from the other students, so for some reason, he actually wanted to test Hojo Saki Rei on something different, to see where Hojo Saki Rei's limit was.

“Some physics questions beyond the syllabus?”

After hearing the Teacher's question, almost all the students present couldn't help but gasp.

Regarding the subject of physics, it has stumped many students.

It can be said that they generally only learned up to where the Teacher taught in class.

As for questions beyond the syllabus, these students couldn't answer them at all.

Because they had never looked at the coursework that the Teacher hadn't covered.

When the students of Class Three looked at Hojo Saki Rei, there was also a hint of pity in their eyes.

What kind of student Hojo Saki Rei was, these classmates of his knew better than the students from other classes.

In everyone's eyes, he was just a slacker.

Therefore, they didn't think Hojo Saki Rei would be able to answer the question this Teacher had just asked.

Even some Teachers were very worried at this moment that Hojo Saki Rei would lose face in front of this Teacher.

As if afraid that Hojo Saki Rei would be embarrassed, this Teacher spoke again before Hojo Saki Rei had answered: “Don't worry, you might not have covered these knowledge points. Even if you can't answer, the Teacher and your classmates won't laugh at you. The Teacher just feels that, looking at you, it seems you must have studied the subject of physics on your own, and I just want to see what level you've reached.”

“Of course, if you haven't studied it, then the Teacher won't ask.”

As the Teacher spoke, he showed a smile on his face towards Hojo Saki Rei, his smile full of goodwill.

Hearing this Teacher's words, Hojo Saki Rei, who had originally been thinking of saying he didn't know, now understood this Teacher's intention, and he immediately nodded.

“Teacher, please ask. Of course, if I can't answer or answer incorrectly, please forgive the Teacher.”

Hojo Saki Rei said with a humble expression.

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei actually agreed, Tomoda Minako, who was on the side, couldn't help but furrow her pretty brows.

“What exactly is going on with Saki Rei-kun? Does he not know his own capabilities? How dare he agree to let the Teacher ask questions? And these questions are all beyond the syllabus.”

“Can he really do it?”

Tomoda Minako thought to herself while worrying about Hojo Saki Rei.

As for that Teacher, after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, he also knew that Hojo Saki Rei had some skills, and immediately showed a satisfied expression on his face.

For the rest of the time, that Teacher directly asked Hojo Saki Rei a question about electricity.

When the question was displayed on the blackboard by the Teacher using a projector, all the second-year high school students couldn't help but frown.

Because, the question written by the Teacher, these students present basically didn't know what the question was about.

Those who could understand this question were none other than the few top-ranked students in the second year.

However, although they understood what the question was about, they didn't know how to solve it.

“Regarding this question, although I am asking this student, all the students present can answer. If anyone can answer it correctly, I, the Teacher, will give him an unexpected reward.”

As the question appeared, that Teacher also spoke to all the students present.

However, after his words fell, some physics Teachers from other schools who had come to the school auditorium also shook their heads at this moment.

This question, even during an exam, would be impossible to appear.

Because if this question were to appear, it would be in the National Physics Competition.

Those who can solve this question are all physics geniuses!

Let alone that these are second-year high school students.

“No wonder he said it's okay if that student can't solve it. How is this just beyond the syllabus? This type of question, even among the physics Teachers present, very few could probably solve it, right?”

One of the physics Teachers said at this moment.

Although they understood what the question was ultimately asking for, and also knew many related points in the question, when they connected these related points, they couldn't get the answer they had in mind.

In other words, the key points given in the question could only provide hidden relationships; it was simply impossible to directly derive the answer based on the key content of this question.

Moreover, this question wasn't just slightly tricky.

“That's right, this kind of question, even many third-year high school students couldn't solve, let alone second-year high school students.”

“I have some impression of this student, it seems his grades aren't very good. How could a student like that solve this kind of question?”

“Ah, it seems this time, no student will be able to get this reward.”

“Looking at you guys, do you know what the reward this Teacher is talking about is?”

“Heh heh, you should know that this Teacher also has significant research achievements in the field of physics academia. The reason this public class wasn't aimed at third-year high school students isn't because this Teacher lacks knowledge, but because the school didn't want to dampen the confidence of those third-year students.”

“Moreover, the reason this Teacher started giving public classes in various schools is actually because, for this National Physics Competition, he has two extra spots and can recommend two students to participate directly.”

“...”

As one Teacher spoke, the other Teachers also began to whisper amongst themselves.

Some even revealed the terrifying identity of the Teacher standing on the stage.

Of course, the Teachers who could know the identity of this Teacher were certainly physics Teachers, as Teachers of other subjects had no impression of this.

Hearing the words of these Teachers, Tomoda Minako's breathing couldn't help but become a little heavier.

Originally, at first, she also thought this was just an ordinary public class, but she never expected that this Teacher actually had his own research achievements in physics academia.

Suddenly, she also began to place some hope in Hojo Saki Rei, desperately hoping that Hojo Saki Rei could answer this question.

While everyone was still discussing animatedly, Hojo Saki Rei's expression didn't change much.

After seriously looking at the question for a while, he also found multiple ways to solve this question, and even found the optimal solution from them.

“How about it? Student, this question is indeed beyond the syllabus. It's okay if you can't solve it.”

That Teacher said to Hojo Saki Rei with a smile.

Actually, it was quite normal for Hojo Saki Rei not to be able to give an answer to this question.

Because he was just an ordinary student.

Not only this Teacher, but everyone present thought that Hojo Saki Rei indeed couldn't give an answer, yet at this moment, they heard Hojo Saki Rei confidently say: “Teacher, I can solve this question. I have five methods of solving it, and there is also an optimal solution among them.”

When Hojo Saki Rei said this, everyone present was instantly stunned.

Even the Teacher on the stage, after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, was shocked by Hojo Saki Rei's words.

After all, he had never expected that Hojo Saki Rei could actually solve the final answer to this question.

The reason he questioned Hojo Saki Rei was because he saw Hojo Saki Rei's attitude during the class. Looking at Hojo Saki Rei, it seemed he had indeed completely understood the questions he had explained, which was why he suddenly had this bit of interest.

Moreover, as long as Hojo Saki Rei could understand some parts of this question, even if he got it wrong, he would definitely give Hojo Saki Rei a chance, a chance to participate in the National Physics Competition!

However, this opportunity required competing with others.

Yet he never expected that Hojo Saki Rei would actually say he had five methods of solving it.

For a moment, not only this Teacher, but even the Teachers from Sakuragi High School, as well as Tomoda Minako, and the students present, showed many changes in their eyes when they looked at Hojo Saki Rei.

Of course, after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, the students in Class Three were all in disbelief about what Hojo Saki Rei said.

“How is that possible? Beitiaozaki Rei is just a slacker, how could he have such ability?”

“Beitiaozaki Rei must be bragging, right? What are his physics grades like? Could we, his classmates, not know? He actually said he could solve this question?”

“Heh heh, even the top students in Class 5 might not be able to solve this question, what makes him think he can?”

“Looking at him, could it be that he's trying to put on a show to gain that Teacher's respect? If that's the case, he'll probably embarrass our class then.”

“Speaking of which, can you guys not be so prejudiced against Beitiaozaki Rei? Aren't you afraid that Beitiaozaki Rei was just hiding his strength before?”

“Forget it, if he really had that ability, wouldn't he improve his academic performance?”

“...”

In the direction of Class Three, as one student spoke, other students also started discussing at this moment.

Hearing the discussions of these students, Asahi Rinka also became somewhat worried about Hojo Saki Rei.

Although she had witnessed Hojo Saki Rei's various abilities and knew that Hojo Saki Rei's grades were not as he had shown in front of these students before.

But Asahi Rinka was still somewhat worried about Hojo Saki Rei, worried that Hojo Saki Rei wouldn't be able to solve it later.

Even her fair hands had already started clenching into fists at some point, and even her palms were marked with red lines scratched by her fingernails.

“Okay, this student is very good. Since you said you have several methods of solving it, could you come up and demonstrate your solution? The Teacher is also very curious if you can get this question right.”

Although that Teacher was somewhat skeptical about what Hojo Saki Rei said, after reacting, he immediately said to Hojo Saki Rei.

Hearing this, Hojo Saki Rei nodded and walked directly towards the podium.

Swish swish.

The moment Hojo Saki Rei walked onto the stage, he didn't hesitate at all. He picked up a piece of chalk and began writing his solution on the blackboard.

And this scene of his shocked everyone present.

Originally, at first, they thought that although Hojo Saki Rei dared to go up, he definitely wouldn't be able to write down the answer; he just wanted to show off in front of that Teacher.

But they didn't expect that Hojo Saki Rei had quickly filled the blackboard densely, and while everyone was still in doubt, he directly calculated the answer to the first question.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by it.

The shock Hojo Saki Rei brought them was simply too great.
