I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Uego Yoshihiko said with an exaggerated expression that he already regarded Kudo Sayaka as a top student.

"My first choice was the Faculty of Law at Shinazugawa University."

Kato Megumi looked at her with a slightly surprised expression.

Those who can take the Keio University entrance exam are basically in the same grade as Kasumigaoka Utaha from that school.

However, Kudo Sayaka laughed sheepishly, "No, no, no, actually I only started preparing for the exam last year. Back then, my average deviation score was only thirty, and now it's only sixty. Compared to Aki, I'm far behind. I don't even know if I can get into Keio next year!"

"Starting from last year? Only sixty..."

Yoshihiko Kamigo stared at Sayaka Kudo, somewhat dumbfounded.

Kato Megumi subconsciously replied, "An average deviation of sixty is enough to get into a good university in Tokyo, right?"

Although it's not at the level of Keio University, a deviation score of 60 is enough to get into a pretty good university in Tokyo.

At least, Kudo Sayaka is stronger than Kato Megumi and Kamigo Yoshihiko, who are both present.

"Kudo, my school's average deviation is mediocre, and do you really think you're that bad?"

At this moment, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but chuckle.

If you don't look at others, such as Yoshihiko Kamigo with ordinary goals, or Megumi Kato with slightly higher goals, and only look at him, Sayaka Kudo will probably never know that she has actually worked hard enough, and the results she has achieved since last year are quite remarkable.

"Rinya really doesn't hold back at all. Speaking of which, the only third-year students in our school who would even think about someone of Keio's caliber are that Kasumigaoka-senpai."

Uego Yoshihiko chimed in at this moment.

My friend is right. Toyonosaki Academy's deviation score is only average. But looking at individual cases, there are people like Kasumigaoka Utaha this year, as well as Aki Tomoya who emerged as a dark horse last year.

In other areas, good fortune also followed, with Eriri from the art club making significant achievements in the arts.

The sports club of Toyonosaki Academy, taking baseball as an example, is like a weak infant in front of those sports powerhouse high schools.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like I've been dragging my school down all along..."

"Where does Kudo-kun study?"

“Minglan, a woman of bright and clear mind.”

"Aren't those the three most prestigious female families in China, where you can go straight from junior high to university?"

Although Minglan Girls' High School has a direct admission system that can be misunderstood, its average deviation value is very good. Even if a student is recommended for direct admission, the department they can go to is different from that of a good student and a student like Kudo Sayaka who "falls into depravity" midway through their studies.

For example, outstanding students at Minglan Girls' High School can be recommended to schools with higher deviation scores or apply to prestigious private schools. However, those with poor grades who are simply sent there by their families to coast through life, and who choose direct admission, are essentially just rich young ladies waiting to get married.

"Wow, is it that good? I only applied because I thought their school uniforms were cute."

Overall, the price Kudo Sayaka paid to overcome the trauma of being bullied in elementary school was that she was able to happily play with her friends until her second year of high school.

You'll never know how much potential you have if you don't give it your all.

"So, just like what Mr. Tsubota said, you really have no common sense at all. You're the kind of woman who believes in Santa Claus!"

Aki Tomoya felt that it was the right thing to do to let Kudo Sayaka participate in the study session on Sunday.

At the academy, she always felt that she was terrible, but in fact, everyone was pleased with the efforts she had made from last year until now.

She has actually done enough, but simply telling her is not enough; she also needs to see it.

"You're being long-winded... But with a deviation score of less than 70, you won't be good enough for Keio University. Keep studying hard!"

Despite gaining confidence from this experience and realizing that her hard work had actually paid off, Sayaka Kudo felt a little embarrassed as she became happy about it.

Whether she was smug about it or knew she was no worse than others, and whether she was told she lacked common sense, Kudo Sayaka was well aware that a deviation score of sixty meant she still had no hope of getting into Keio University.

To close this gap, we have to work even harder in the last year.

"But the third-year student from Kasumigaoka I mentioned earlier, that must be the one from earlier, right?"

At the same time, Kudo Sayaka was still somewhat concerned about Kasumigaoka Utaha, whom she and Aki Tomoya had just encountered.

As she pondered this, she glanced to the side with a touch of gossip.

However, Aki Tomoya ignored her and slowly took something out of his backpack.

"You three are all going to take the humanities exam, right? Perfect timing, I also need to review Chinese and English. Let's study together, and ask each other questions if we don't understand something."

All three are from the Faculty of Humanities, and Aki Tomoya is preparing for the first round of auditions next year. If he passes the first round, the second round of auditions at the University of Tokyo will also require him to use both Japanese and English.

Chapter 139: Not a Big Problem (4/4)

On February 20th, the exams for all faculties at Keio University, which had concluded two days prior, were released.

"This year's Literature Department exam is going to be tough!!!"

At Aomine Academy, Kudo Sayaka felt a headache coming on just looking at the printed test questions.

Fumino Furuhashi came over upon hearing the commotion. After glancing at the test questions, she casually remarked, "It's not that difficult. Sayaka, have confidence in yourself and do your best!"

"It's not that difficult... It's something Fumino could easily answer, so you don't need to comfort her anymore, Fumino!"

"Hey, is it my fault?"

Fumino Furuhashi's expression froze, thinking that her words of comfort had been superfluous.

However, the next second, a smile appeared on Kudo Sayaka's face, which made Fumino Furuhashi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, just kidding, thanks! Anki, how are things going on your end?"

Sayaka Kudo turned to look at Tomoya Aki next door.

"This year's medical school exam questions are as challenging as ever, and I'm having a bit of a headache, but they're not as bad as Juntendo's."

The entrance exams for Keio University School of Medicine have already been completed, and before that, the entrance exams for Juntendo University School of Medicine had also been finished.

Compared to the entrance exams for Juntendo University School of Medicine, Keio University's exams seem less challenging, but since it's a medical school, it's not a guarantee of admission.

"After all, it's the medical school. Aki, your ambition is the greatest in our school."

At this moment, Kudo Sayaka also felt compelled to speak, saying that in Japanese universities, the medical school and other faculties belong to two different worlds, at the top of the hierarchy of contempt.

In Japan, doctors, lawyers, police officers, and ordinary citizens are the three top priorities if they want to rise in rank.

"By the way, isn't your senior also taking the Keio University entrance exam? Have you found out anything about her? How did she do?"

As soon as Kudo Sayaka thought about this, she started gossiping again.

Her eyes sparkled with a curiosity that left Aki Tomoya speechless.

"Um, I have nothing to do with that senior, please don't misunderstand."

"Eh, really?"

Kudo Sayaka's suspicious look clearly showed that she did not believe Aki Tomoya's statement.

However, in reality, Aki Tomoya had no idea how Kasumigaoka Utaha had done on the exam; if she hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even thought of it.

But to be honest, that senior student probably has no problem at all; it's a sure thing.

"If you're really curious, all I can say is that although Kasumigaoka-senpai isn't as ruthless as Furuhashi-kun, she should have no problem getting into Keio University's Faculty of Letters."

Unable to resist Sayaka Kudo's curiosity, Tomoya Aki could only answer based on his impression of Utaha Kasumigaoka.

The literary prodigy of Toyosaki Academy, while not quite as exaggerated as the true literary genius of Ichinose Academy, Fumino Furuhashi, is still a genius, and there's a high probability she'll get into Keio University.

"Eh, the same as Fumino?"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Sayaka looked towards Furuhashi Fumino with great interest, wanting to see her reaction.

However, after noticing Sayaka Kudo's gaze, Fumino Furuhashi replied helplessly, "Sayaka, the mock exam is next month!"

"not good!"

The topic shift was successful. Next month is the first mock exam, which is not a matter of life or death, but it is related to whether we can have a good start.

Gathering all her strength for the first national mock exam of the year, Sayaka Kudo clasped her hands together and prayed once more: "C grade!!!"

Aki Tomoya: "I'd also like a C grade."

He wanted a C grade in the Dongda simulation.

Fumino Furuhashi: "I second that."

All she wanted was a C grade in a mock exam at an ordinary university.

What each of them desires is to get closer to their goal.

Similarly, next month will be more than just the first national mock exam.

The final semester of second grade ends, and the graduation ceremony is in March.

"Aki, are all the questions in the medical school written in gibberish?"

After glancing at this year's Keio University School of Medicine exam questions, Kudo Sayaka couldn't help but look up at Aki Tomoya with a helpless expression.

"You haven't even reviewed science subjects, so isn't this like a foreign language to you?"
