I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Author: May 16th

Summary:

I, Tomoya Aki, don’t play games, don’t be a fat otaku, and don’t be a bootlicker. I just want to study hard!

I want to apply to Tokyo University. Studying makes me happy!

Anime, comics, games, light novels, and women, give me your claws!

Chapter 1 Get lost!

At Toyosaki Academy, Aki Tomoya has already completed his initial transformation in the second week of school.

Following his math teacher's instructions, he wrote the solution formulas neatly on the blackboard, showing that he was developing into a diligent and good student.

"I'm all better, teacher."

Aki Tomoya casually put down the chalk, pushed up his glasses, and walked off the podium under the still somewhat unaccustomed gazes of his classmates.

"That's right, Aki-kun. You've been really motivated lately. We should all learn from you. We're all in our second year of high school now, and next year we'll be taking the college entrance exam."

The math teacher watched Aki Tomoya's figure with satisfaction. To be honest, having witnessed Aki Tomoya's deeds in the first year, he was also surprised by Aki Tomoya's change, but this was definitely not a bad thing.

As one of the three most famous people on campus, Aki Tomoya's feat last year is still fresh in everyone's memory. This student, whose grades were not outstanding, has been gradually changing everyone's impression of him since the first week of school after the spring break.

Aki Tomoya's performance has been noticed by many people, including his teachers. This boy, whose grades were originally unremarkable and whose image in the public's mind was still that of a top otaku, is really working hard.

If every student were like him, teachers could live a few more years.

His classmates, especially Yoshihiko Kamigo, who was also an otaku like Tomoya Aki, looked at him with disbelief.

"Yes, next year I will be taking the exam. In the first semester, I need to raise my deviation score to over 60."

Aki Tomoya said calmly that his previous deviation value was only 45, which was far from his current goal of Tokyo University.

The teacher on the podium trembled, his nose tingling with emotion. What moving words these were! How wonderful it would be if all students had such awareness.

While the teacher wasn't moved to tears by Aki Tomoya's attitude, those words completely changed her opinion of the student.

The others were completely dumbfounded. In their minds, Aki Tomoya, that otaku, was not the kind of person who would say such things!

What happened to this person after spring break?!

"how so……"

Uesugi Yoshihiko stared at Aki Tomoya with a pale face, his body trembling uncontrollably at the unfamiliar appearance of Aki Tomoya.

Now he's the one who wants to cry. There aren't many people like Aki Tomoya who can expose their otaku nature in front of the public, so why would he betray him now!

So what exactly causes such a drastic change in a person?

Aki Tomoya, or rather, the current Aki Tomoya, is not the same person he was in the past. The current Aki Tomoya has been reborn, and within this body is a soul from across the sea.

At the beginning of spring break, Aki Tomoya was "reborn," and it took him half of the break to accept this fact.

Neon, a country that felt unfamiliar to him, a country whose impressions were only mixed, he had actually traveled to this place and become a student about to enter his second year of high school.

Should we lament the unpredictability of life, or say that God gave him a chance to start over and live the perfect life he longed for?

After calming down, starting with high school is about enough.

My Japanese skills are at MAX level; what used to be unfamiliar words and language are now incredibly fluent.

Memories are preserved, both from his past life and from his time as Aki Tomoya.

First, set a small goal: I can't continue being an otaku in high school, it has no future, so I need to figure out a way to get into the University of Tokyo.

Anime, comics, games, get out of here!

If I don't study hard now, am I really going to go and make visual novels?

guna!

Putting aside the risks of this goal, shouldn't a student's primary responsibility be to study?

All the hard work we're putting in now is for a bright future! Marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman requires resources!

First, become an elite student, build connections at the University of Tokyo, and ideally, hook up with a rich and beautiful woman, preferably an only child. Date her, make her blush, and after marriage, seize her family's assets. It's a plan that couldn't be more perfect!

Therefore, the most important thing for Aki Tomoya right now is the deviation score. With a deviation score of 45, he might not even get into a second-rate university, let alone the University of Tokyo.

Deviation determines fate, and that is justice!

"That one, Ren-Rin-Ya-kun?"

During lunch break, only a handful of people remained in the classroom. Aki Tomoya finished tidying up his desk and was about to go to the cafeteria alone when Uego Yoshihiko, who was still in the classroom, came over.

"Yoshihiko, is there something you need?"

Aki Tomoya glanced over indifferently, his gaze causing Uesugi Yoshihiko's expression to stiffen.

Before spring break, Yoshihiko Uago had never seen such a sharp look in Tomoya Aki's eyes before. It was as if he was no longer facing an otaku friend with whom he shared common interests, but rather one of those "normies" he used to hate.

"Rinya, you watched the latest episode last night..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in anime, manga, games, light novels, or anything like that right now."

When Yoshihiko Uego tried to talk to Tomoya Aki about a TV anime he had watched the night before, the latter interrupted him without hesitation.

The current Aki Tomoya wouldn't waste time on those things. Deviation rate is paramount, and studying is the primary goal. Achieving his ambition to enter the University of Tokyo is not something that can be accomplished with just words.

That's Japan's top university, and every year countless people flock to that cutthroat arena to fight it out. Aki Tomo doesn't feel he has any reason to slack off.

Not to mention, his previous deviation value was only 45!

"Uh……"

Uesugi Yoshihiko stared at Aki Tomoya in disbelief; he simply couldn't believe that such a thing could come out of the other's mouth.

This is not the Aki Tomoya he knows at all!

"I'm going to the cafeteria now."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Aki Tomoya lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Aki Tomoya brushed past Kamigo Yoshihiko, who stared at him, trembling.

His transformation was so drastic that Yoshihiko Uego couldn't accept it, and even couldn't help but wonder if it was all a dream.

Noticing Yoshihiko Uego's reaction, Tomoya Aki shook his head, sighing inwardly, "Another one gone mad..."

Afterwards, he went to the cafeteria for lunch. It seems that Aki Tomoya became famous again because of his "abnormal" behavior after the start of the school year. Students from the second year and above all looked at Aki Tomoya, who was all alone, with curious eyes.

"Sawamura-kun, that Aki Tomoya, he really is just like the rumors say, a completely different person!"

At a table not far from Aki Tomo, the blonde twin-tailed girl's friend exclaimed in surprise, completely unaware of Eriri's incredibly complex gaze.

"What on earth is this guy...?"

Eriri stared in disbelief at Aki Tomoya, who was all alone. She still couldn't believe it—her childhood friend, a hardcore otaku, had turned out like this.

She chatted absentmindedly with the female classmate next to her, but her gaze remained fixed on her childhood friend, Aki Tomoya.

When she saw Aki Tomoya get up, she suddenly stood up, which startled several girls sitting next to her.

"Sawamura-kun, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

"Excuse me, I suddenly remembered something important, I have to go now!"

Seeing that Aki Tomoya was about to leave the cafeteria, Eriri hurriedly offered an explanation, then pretended to be in a real hurry and muttered something as she chased after him.

As for Aki Tomoya, after leaving the cafeteria, he did not return to the classroom, but instead headed to the school library.

There's still a long time left for lunch break.

"Stop right there, you idiot, wait a minute!!!"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, causing Aki Tomoya to stop in his tracks.

He turned around and looked back at the golden figure, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Such fast twin tails!"

Chapter 2: I, Aki Tomoya, am applying to the University of Tokyo!

Eriri Sawamura Spencer, Tomoya Aki's childhood friend.

Toyonosaki Academy has three famous figures. Besides Aki Tomoya, one of them is the blonde, blue-eyed girl with twin tails in front of us.

She was a recognized beauty in the whole school. She was petite and had exquisite blonde hair styled into cute pigtails, which became her signature look, almost like a trademark.

With clear blue eyes and porcelain-white skin, this mixed-race girl perfectly blends the best features of Europeans and Asians. In her daily life at school, she is an eye-catching figure, and any man who meets her for the first time will have his eyes fixed on her for a moment.

However, as childhood friends, Aki Tomoya understands Eriri better than anyone else here.

This outwardly glamorous, beautiful, and adorable girl, seemingly under a spotlight, is actually just like him—an otaku at heart.

However, Eriri is a hidden otaku, and only a few people know about her otaku nature. If the people here knew that Eriri was an otaku, the scene would probably be no less than the sky falling down.

"Eri, what brings you here?"

Aki Tomoya's eyes flickered with doubt; he wasn't sure whether his relationship with Eriri was good or bad.
