I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Aki Tomoya felt that the problem didn't lie with anyone else; it was Fumino Furuhashi's own issue.

"Indeed, as you just said, Mr. Furuhashi could easily achieve what most of us would do anything to pursue."

Given Fumino Furuhashi's talent in humanities, she's practically guaranteed admission to a top private university, and many people are willing to extend offers to her.

This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

By placing a genius alongside a group of ordinary people, Kirisu Mafuyu's message is simply to remind them that when disparities arise, imbalances and conflicts inevitably follow.

Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Aki Tomoya, and was initially a little confused after hearing his words.

What exactly is the stance of this boy in front of me?

By stating such obvious facts, are you planning to use some kind of tactic that would harm the enemy a thousand while hurting yourself eight hundred?

At that moment, Aki Tomoya continued in a slightly different tone, "It's a pity that this genius is even worse than an ordinary person in some aspects. That stubborn person is head over heels in this. Kirisu-sensei should worry that when she fails, will someone laugh at her naivety?"

Aki Tomoya's words made Kirisu Mafuyu's brows furrow slightly with displeasure.

As he said, Fumino Furuhashi was indeed too stubborn when it came to choosing a school, and even her alternate choices didn't seem like reasonable options to others.

"Giving up her advantages must be more difficult for her than for us, right?"

If we disregard the so-called humanities talent, Fumino Furuhashi is no different from anyone else at Aomine Academy, and could even be considered the most difficult one.

Based on the fact that Furuhashi Fumino abandoned her advantages, Aki Tomoya only regarded Furuhashi Fumino as a student who was more difficult than everyone else in the academy.

For Fumino Furuhashi, the goal of getting into an ordinary science university was fraught with difficulties and obstacles.

"Just like you said, Mr. Kirisu, you're worried about us being affected. I think we should be worried about whether anyone will kick Furuhashi when she's down after she fails!"

Aki Tomoya said.

Fumino Furuhashi is currently stuck in a mud pit.

Dividing humanities and sciences into two paths, Fumio Furuhashi can move freely and brightly on the humanities path.

Conversely, it goes without saying how difficult the path of science was for Fumino Furuhashi.

Having abandoned her talent and yet still not compromising, Fumino Furuhashi is nothing special at Aomine Academy; in fact, she's the most worrying person there.

"That's why I..."

Knowing that Fumino Furuhashi was highly likely to fail, Mafuyu Kirisu came here to try and persuade Aomine Academy not to "mess around" with Fumino Furuhashi.

But before she could say anything, she was interrupted.

"So, Kirisu-sensei's sense of responsibility is very touching, but did you get the wrong person to persuade?"

Aki Tomoya interrupted Kirisu Mafuyu before she could say anything.

He stepped forward, looked directly into Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes, and said forcefully, "Our school is simply treating everyone equally. When she didn't want to compromise or change her aspirations, we were just trying our best to help her. What did we do wrong?"

If you want Fumino Furuhashi to not study astronomy and come to them, that would be a completely wrong choice.

That's what Kirisu Mafuyu saw in Aki Tomoya's eyes.

"Go and persuade Furuhashi-san not to stop the people who are willing to help her, Kirisu-sensei from the prestigious private school."

Aki Tomoya placed his hands on the table, his imposing manner suggesting he was looking down at Kirisu Mafuyu.

The duty of a cram school is to tutor people. If that's wrong, then all cram schools in Tokyo should just close down.

"If the ancient bridge won't come to us, can't it go elsewhere to seek help?"

It has been proven around the summer holidays that Fumino Furuhashi is not someone who gives up easily.

"The problem isn't with us at all. What's the point of you coming here? If you want to criticize someone, criticize Furuhashi for choosing what she wanted and not choosing what others consider the best but is worthless in her eyes. Don't stop people who want to help her avoid being questioned or kicked when she's down. Go and persuade Furuhashi yourself!"

Aki Tomoya's voice rose slightly.

It would be a million times better to persuade Fumino Furuhashi with a single word than to come all this way.

Harumi Junko sighed at this moment, inwardly cursing herself for being useless. These words should not have been spoken by students in the academy, but by her, an adult.

"We can't persuade Furuhashi-san here, we can only do our best to help her. Please go back, Kirisu-sensei."

Harumi Junko stepped forward and said in a regretful tone.

The two tutors from Qingfeng Academy did try to persuade them, but after realizing that the situation could not be changed, they began to offer their best help.

Harumi Junko didn't think the academy had done anything wrong; given that everything had already been confirmed, this kind of help was the only thing they could do.

Kirisu Mafuyu left, and in the end she didn't argue anymore. Her eyes were filled with resentment, but she didn't react much, and you couldn't even see any anger in her.

From Kirisu Mafuyu's perspective, the outcome of this negotiation between the teacher and the academy was undoubtedly a failure.

However, from the perspective of the academy, Kirisu Mafuyu still insists on her own position.

Now that she has realized Aomine Academy's stance, Kirisu Mafuyu has nothing to say.

However, being unable to refute a student's argument was a defeat she had never experienced before.

After Kirisu Mafuyu left, the school had not yet completely calmed down. Harumi Junko, as if she had just gone through a great battle, lay on the table and said to Aki Tomoya with shame, "Thank you, Aki-kun."

Harumi Junko hadn't anticipated that Aki Tomoya would come to the rescue.

However, thanks to this, the trouble was resolved smoothly, and the school did not back down at all.

"Everyone asked me to do this, so I had no choice..." Aki Tomo replied nonchalantly, then turned to look outside. "But then again, what are the chances that Furuhashi-kun will get into the astronomy department?"

This is an uncertain issue.

It's not that there's absolutely no hope, but it's not very optimistic either.

"Let's do our best. It would be great if that teacher could persuade Furuhashi-kun, but our school can't give up on him, can we?"

Harumi Junko spoke, sounding somewhat tired.

Meanwhile, it's also unclear when Mr. Tsubota, who is still outside, will be able to return.

Chapter 101 Neither Side Will Back Down (2/4)

Teachers from Ichinose Academy and Meiran Girls' High School came to visit.

With everyone split up to deal with the situation, Kirisu Mafuyu had already left, and Mr. Tsubota didn't return to the school until more than ten minutes later.

His expression was well-hidden, as if he was deliberately maintaining a smile so as not to worry anyone.

"Has that Mr. Kirisu already left?"

Mr. Tsubota asked, intending to get some details from Junko Harumi.

After learning what had happened here while he was away from the academy, Mr. Tsubota sighed helplessly again.

His situation was similar; Sayaka Kudo's homeroom teacher also had no hope that she would get into Keio University, and even believed that the school was fraudulent.

But Mr. Tsubota did not back down.

He managed to resolve the situation on his end, but compared to the teachers from the two different schools, the students from the private school were more worrying.

"It's probably best not to tell them about this."

The people in the academy almost universally accepted this idea.

If they find out about this, it will definitely have some impact.

Fortunately, the day the two teachers visited was not a tutoring day for the two female high school students.

Maintaining this tacit understanding, everyone kept quiet about the matter, as if it had never happened.

After that, everything was peaceful until November 6th, the day the results of the Toyonosaki Academy midterm exams were released.

Aki Tomoya didn't pay attention to his midterm exam results this time, since there wasn't much to look forward to.

Instead of focusing on school exam scores, you should think about the mock exams after the new year.

"Rinya, you're number one again! From now on, you've secured your position as the top student in the grade!"

Just because I don't care about my midterm exam results doesn't mean that Aki Tomoya's friend, Uego Yoshihiko, doesn't care.

There was no doubt about the rankings in the third grade, and the results in the second grade were the same. This time, it completely solidified Aki Tomoya's position as the number one student in Toyonosaki Academy from now on.

"719, so you're a monster too. From now on, the school's legend won't be Kasumigaoka-senpai from the third year anymore, it'll probably be you, right?"

Yoshihiko Uego kept talking.

Compared to Aki Tomoya's impressive results, his performance was less than stellar.

My science subjects were still the same, which was tantamount to giving up, but my humanities subjects improved a lot since the end of last semester, so I was specially praised by the teacher.

"Don't be so verbose. Instead of thinking about these things, think about your future aspirations."

Aki Tomoya replied without looking up.

The other person seems to be getting a little cocky because their grades have improved recently.

At this moment, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but want to give the other person a warning: "Your own situation is not optimistic at all. People who want to take the college entrance exam should be a little more aware of their situation."

While whispering in the library, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but glance at Kato Megumi next to him.

Compared to Kato Megumi, Uego Yoshihiko is quite inferior.

Simply put, it's optimistic that Megumi Kato got into the Faculty of Law, but there's no reason to be optimistic even if Yoshihiko Uego gets into a less prestigious university.
