Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Originally, they thought Hojo Saki Rei was just a bad student and couldn't possibly solve this problem.

However, Hojo Saki Rei wrote so much, and the symbols and methods were incomprehensible to many students, which made many of them start to doubt his previous grades.

As for the top students, after seeing the answer Hojo Saki Rei derived, they were even more shocked by the scene before them.

"This... did he really solve it?"

"By the way, is his answer correct or wrong? Does Saki Rei-kun really have this ability?"

"Don't rush. Just because he wrote it doesn't mean it's correct. Besides, we can't understand what he wrote. Do you think he can be right? Maybe he just wrote random stuff?"

"Exactly, I think so too. We're all second-year students, and we haven't been exposed to this knowledge. How could he understand it? Moreover, have you ever seen him studying seriously?"

"What he did is very likely correct. It's very likely we underestimated him before."

"What? How is that possible? Could it be that he had seen this problem before, and these answers are just something he copied?"

"..."

In Class 3, Grade 2, the students started discussing again, all believing that the problems Hojo Saki Rei solved were not necessarily correct.

As for Asahi Rinka, after seeing the answer Hojo Saki Rei provided, her eyes immediately filled with excitement.

When she looked at Hojo Saki Rei, her eyes were full of little stars.

Having been by Hojo Saki Rei's side for so long, she knew his strength best, and he even knew knowledge he hadn't studied.

Moreover, Asahi Rinka's academic performance had been steadily improving during this time, so she could naturally understand what this problem was about.

It was precisely because of this that after seeing this, Asahi Rinka unconsciously wanted to applaud Hojo Saki Rei.

But just as she was about to start, she noticed she was still in the auditorium and stopped.

As for Tomoda Minako, after seeing this scene, she was also shocked by Hojo Saki Rei.

Furthermore, while the students in Class 3 were discussing, she also heard the physics Teachers next to her commenting on Hojo Saki Rei.

That was, Hojo Saki Rei's grades were actually very good.

Because even they couldn't get Hojo Saki Rei's solution in the shortest amount of time.

And Hojo Saki Rei's solutions, in their opinion, had no problems at all.

After hearing their conversation, how could Tomoda Minako not know that Hojo Saki Rei had really struck gold this time, actually solving such a difficult problem?

As for the Teacher on the stage, when he saw Hojo Saki Rei still writing other solutions, his gaze towards Hojo Saki Rei was also filled with affection.

Before this, he didn't think these students had the ability to solve it.

But after seeing Hojo Saki Rei's answer, he changed his mind.

All of this was because the answer Hojo Saki Rei provided was the same as the answer he had calculated!

"Teacher, I'm finished."

While everyone was still shocked by this, Hojo Saki Rei had already filled the entire blackboard.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Hojo Saki Rei looked at the Teacher in front of him and then spoke directly.

As his voice fell, the Teacher immediately started to applaud him.

"Very good, very good. I didn't expect your Sakuragi High School to have such a genius. How much time has passed? He was actually able to calculate it."

"However, many students don't understand this problem at all, so I don't know if this student got it right. Next, I will explain that student's problem-solving approach."

The Teacher on the stage said with a smile.

As he spoke, he had already come to the blackboard.

Then, everyone started to see that Teacher, he had already started explaining the problem to everyone.

Five minutes passed, and that Teacher also knew it was time for the class to end.

"This student, thank you for being able to contribute several other solutions. May I know your name?"

That Teacher was clearly very happy. When he said this, his eyes were wide with surprise, staring directly at Hojo Saki Rei in front of him.

Being stared at by a Teacher like this made Hojo Saki Rei feel a little uncomfortable.

But since the other party was asking for his name, Hojo Saki Rei also said it without hesitation.

"Hello, Teacher, my name is Hojo Saki Rei."

"As for the method, it's actually not important. What's important is the key information given in this problem and the various unit conversions."

"As long as you can figure it out, this problem is actually not difficult."

Hojo Saki Rei first answered the foreign Teacher, and then he stated his thoughts.

Not far away.

Upon hearing Hojo Saki Rei mention so many different solutions, Tanaka Taiwa was quite impressed with Hojo Saki Rei. He didn't expect Hojo Saki Rei to have such ability.

However, during this time, he also heard a lot about Hojo Saki Rei's past.

Knowing that Hojo Saki Rei was just a bad student before, he immediately had an idea: Hojo Saki Rei must have seen this problem in advance to be able to solve it.

At this moment, as Hojo Saki Rei's answer received the Teacher's affirmation, even Shiratori Kashi, who was not far from Tanaka Taiwa, looked at Hojo Saki Rei with starry eyes.

Seeing this, Tanaka Taiwa's eyes immediately showed a hint of resentment.

"Impossible, he must have known the answer before, otherwise how could he have known?"

"Hojo Saki Rei, I'm not trying to go against you, but..."

Speaking of this, Tanaka Taiwa glanced at Shiratori Kashi.

Before this, Tanaka Taiwa had indeed told himself that since Shiratori Kashi chose Hojo Saki Rei, he would no longer have any extravagant hopes.

But in the past few days, he saw that Hojo Saki Rei spent more time with Asahi Rinka.

Tanaka Taiwa decisively came to the conclusion that Hojo Saki Rei was a scumbag.

Although Tanaka Taiwa also knew that Shiratori Kashi might really like Hojo Saki Rei, and perhaps she was willing.

But he liked Shiratori Kashi so much, cared about her so much, how could he just watch Shiratori Kashi be hurt by a scumbag like Hojo Saki Rei?

Although Tanaka Taiwa didn't want to offend Hojo Saki Rei, now, seeing the love in Shiratori Kashi's eyes when she looked at Hojo Saki Rei, he could no longer hold back.

"Teacher, Hojo Saki Rei is just a bad student in Class Three. This kind of problem is not something he can solve."

Just as the Teacher had just started praising Hojo Saki Rei, thinking he was a good student, and was about to announce the reward for Hojo Saki Rei solving the problem this time, a voice drowned out everyone else's voice, resounding in the auditorium at this moment.

With the appearance of this voice, everyone present immediately fell silent.

Even everyone's gaze turned towards Tanaka Taiwa at this moment.

When Hojo Saki Rei heard that familiar voice, he also felt a moment of confusion and turned his head with some disbelief.

Immediately after, he saw a familiar figure standing up in the direction of Class Five.

That sentence, naturally, also came from that person's mouth.

In the auditorium.

Although many of the Teachers had a poor impression of Hojo Saki Rei.

Because in their impression, Hojo Saki Rei had never seriously listened in class even once.

Even if he listened sometimes, it was only for a few minutes before he became very impatient.

But after seeing Hojo Saki Rei solve this problem and provide several problem-solving approaches, these Teachers also changed their views on Hojo Saki Rei. Some Teachers even thought that Hojo Saki Rei was just hiding his talent before.

Their attitude towards Hojo Saki Rei naturally also changed.

They thought Hojo Saki Rei was a good student who brought honor to the school, actually solving such a difficult problem.

However, they didn't expect that while they were all looking forward to the Teacher announcing the reward, someone would come out and cause trouble at this moment.

Raising their heads, those Teachers looked in the direction of Class Five with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes!

Not just those Teachers, but even Asahi Rinka, Tomoda Minako, and Shiratori Kashi, after hearing what Tanaka Taiwa said, also had a hint of killing intent in their eyes when they looked at Tanaka Taiwa.

What Tanaka Taiwa said made them very angry!

When the students in Class Three heard what Tanaka Taiwa said, although they all felt that what Tanaka Taiwa said was very likely the truth.

But thinking that Hojo Saki Rei was from the same Class 3 as them, at this moment, when they looked at Tanaka Taiwa, they all wished they could beat this bastard to death.

In the entire auditorium, the only person standing on Tanaka Taiwa's side was Haruta Sanjirō alone.

After all, Hojo Saki Rei was on the opposite side of him before.

And in Haruta Sanjirō's opinion, if it weren't for Hojo Saki Rei, his son wouldn't have ended up in that state.

Of course.

Although Haruta Sanjirō was very relieved by what Tanaka Taiwa said, thinking that he was on his side, which was very good.

But at this moment, seeing so many Teachers looking at him with murderous eyes, Haruta Sanjirō was still a little timid.

He naturally also knew why these Teachers were looking at him with that kind of gaze.

Because he also knew the Teacher on the podium and knew what the reward he mentioned was.

Regardless of whether Hojo Saki Rei had seen that problem before, and regardless of whether Hojo Saki Rei had already known the answer before.

Since Hojo Saki Rei had solved this problem, it proved that their Sakuragi High School still had capable students.

Moreover, Sakuragi High School originally only had one or two spots for the National Physics Competition. Now adding another spot was a good thing for the school.

Yet at this moment, a student from the Class 3 he managed actually stood out to cause trouble.

For a moment, although he agreed with what Tanaka Taiwa said, Haruta Sanjirō, seeing those Teachers staring at him as if they could swallow him whole in the next moment, still quickly stood up and walked towards Tanaka Taiwa.

"Tanaka Taiwa, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Sit down!"

Haruta Sanjirō came to Tanaka Taiwa's side and shouted at him.

"Teacher, why should I sit down? Am I wrong? Hojo Saki Rei must have seen this problem before to know how to solve it. Otherwise, how could he, a bad student, solve such a difficult problem? Among so many top students present, is there no one better than him, a bad student? Why is it that others can't do the problem, but he is the only one who can?"

However, facing Haruta Sanjirō's roar, Tanaka Taiwa did not back down at this moment, but instead said loudly.

His voice was very loud, and everyone present heard it.

Originally, before this, many students also felt that Hojo Saki Rei was too abnormal today, and at the same time, they all felt that Hojo Saki Rei could not have done this problem.

But during this process, these students were all very quiet.

But now, after hearing Tanaka Taiwa say those words, the students who were somewhat unhappy with Hojo Saki Rei before also started discussing at this moment.

"Exactly, Hojo Saki Rei is just a bad student, and his test scores are even lower than mine. Why should he be able to do this kind of problem?"

"This kind of problem, even the study representative in Class 5 can't do it. Is Hojo Saki Rei better than the study representative in Class 5? If that's the case, how could his previous grades have been so terrible?"

"Actually, I don't believe he can solve this problem either, but seeing so many people here, I didn't say anything. Since someone is questioning his ability now, I want to see how he will resolve this matter."

"Heh, so he had already seen this problem before. No wonder I thought he was so amazing."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid other Teachers will hear you? If the homeroom Teacher hears you, you'll be in trouble. You know this Teacher isn't from our school. By doing this now, aren't you telling this external Teacher that our school isn't good?"

"..."

The surrounding students, after Tanaka Taiwa spoke, also started discussing.

Even some students also started to imitate Tanaka Taiwa and stood up, following Tanaka Taiwa in criticizing Hojo Saki Rei.

When he saw this scene, the Teacher on the podium also started to look a little displeased.

He never expected such a thing to happen.
