I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Aki Tomoya twirled the pen in his hand and muttered to himself.

It was only because of his voice that Kudo Sayaka realized she was staring at the practice questions the other person was working on.

The question I just asked myself was overheard by the other party.

Having given up on herself for a moment, Kudo Sayaka no longer cared about such things and was now thinking about whether she should leave this place.

"Kudo, tell me, can I get into Tokyo University?"

Aki Tomoya turned around and asked a question.

Instead of answering Sayaka Kudo's question earlier, he posed a question to her at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Kudo Sayaka looked at the red book from Keio University on the table, her bitterness becoming even more pronounced. She replied nonchalantly, "Sure."

If it were the boy next to him, there would be hope.

Unlike him, Kudo Sayaka sees nothing about herself.

It seems like the tutoring fees my mother paid are going to go down the drain.

Thinking this way, Sayaka Kudo felt more ashamed than anything else. She thought it would be better to behave herself at school and maybe then she could go straight to university.

"Thank you, I'll give you the same answer."

Aki Tomoya's voice was very calm, but it sounded very loud to Kudo Sayaka.

Telling her at this moment that she could get into Keio University, even if it's just simple encouragement, would be enough for Sayaka Kudo.

However, this alone did not improve her mood much.

The facts are clear: the difficulties ahead will not decrease much.

"Getting into Keio University is so difficult..."

Sayaka Kudo sighed heavily.

"To be honest, Gu Qiao's chances of getting into the astronomy department are even lower than yours."

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

Neither of them were affected by their school teachers, but now one of them, Kudo Sayaka, has run into trouble.

The red book from Keio University in her hand was like a wake-up call.

At that moment, Kudo Sayaka heard Furuhashi Fumino mentioned beside her, and she looked up with extreme helplessness.

If we really have to compare, Fumino Furuhashi, who plunged headfirst into it, faced much more difficulties than her.

Neither side is easy.

"But it's impossible not to think about Ayano's humanities background. Even without that, both you, Aki and Ayano, are actually stronger than anyone here."

Sayaka Kudo forced a smile, but her eyes betrayed the pressure she felt.

This insecure demeanor is completely different from the girl who swore an oath in the academy after making a bet with her teacher.

This was the first time Aki Tomoya had ever seen her so vulnerable.

After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious expression, "My answer will not change, but you might as well ask other people whether they believe you can get into Keio University."

After saying that, Aki Tomo refocused his attention on the exam questions in front of him.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that there were still many people supporting her.

Do you really believe I can get into Keio University?

Kudo Sayaka was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Harumi Junko behind her, and Mr. Tsubota, who was grading students' homework.

Should we ask other people?

Just like Aki Tomoya said, Kudo Sayaka seems to know the answer.

At this moment, someone was able to say "You can do it," which gave Sayaka Kudo a glimmer of hope.

Looking at the red books of Keio University again, Kudo Sayaka couldn't help but ask Aki Tomoya next to her, "Aki, want to do some Keio humanities questions together?"

Hearing the question from the side, Aki Tomoya looked up and smiled, "Why don't you ask Furuhashi?"

If we're talking about humanities questions, Fumino Furuhashi, who's behind Sayaka Kudo, could answer them easily.

"That would be discouraging, and besides Fumino, you're probably the only one here who can do it!"

Kudo Sayaka shook her head decisively. Compared to being discouraged by Furuhashi Fumino, Aki Tomoya next door could at least offer her some encouragement.

When she occasionally complains to Fumino Furuhashi about her humanities studies, she always gets unintentionally hurt by her.

"...Keio University's humanities exam questions should be of a higher standard than the national exam questions, but let me finish these past exam papers first."

Aki Tomoya considered it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

After you finish working through the national exam papers you have, you can also work on the Keio University's Akasho (red book).

“Doing the Japanese literature course from Keio University first, and then doing the Japanese literature course that is required for the University of Tokyo entrance exam, seems like a good transition.”

"...Is this how you see the Keio University humanities exam questions? It's infuriating!"

I'm adding a follow-up recommendation for my friend's post: "My Best Friend Transmigrated into a Cute Girl."

By the way, here's the current update: 7 chapters for monthly tickets, 9 chapters for knife tickets, 2 chapters owed for helping a friend promote their book, for a total of 18 chapters, currently at progress 1.

Today I'm officially starting to show you my special skills! I absolutely will not be apologizing by cross-dressing (proud and confident face), so hurry up and get started!

Chapter 109 For Whom Are We Taking the Exam? (1/4)

To be honest, Aki Tomoya is more interested in seeing what kind of questions Keio University's medical school used to ask in previous years.

Since the humanities subjects are not very useful for the Keio University entrance exam, the main difficulty lies in English.

However, there's no harm in doing it. You can give it a try after you finish these sets of past exam papers.

"You're kidding, right? Is your English really that good?"

One day, when Kudo Sayaka compared the two of them's English test scores, her face was filled with frustration.

"Who do you think was the person who lent you English notes for reference all this time?"

Aki Tomoya responded in the same way.

Aside from science subjects, English is probably the second thing I can be good at.

Not only in English, but also in Chinese and essays, Kudo Sayaka collapsed helplessly onto the table.

"Didn't you want to take the science exam? Can't you be a little less good at humanities subjects, Aki?"

Sayaka Kudo looked at Tomoya Aki with some frustration.

Perhaps the idea of ​​doing humanities problems with a science student created some illusions.

Therefore, Harumi Junko had to come over and explain: "People who want to take the national university entrance exam are probably like this: they are full of confidence in science subjects, but if they want to stand out, according to my former colleagues, they should keep their level in mathematics and science subjects, but they should stand out in Japanese and English."

That's not all; the difference between needing to take the national exam and not needing to take it lies here as well.

"How was it for Harumi-sensei during her exams back then?"

Sayaka Kudo couldn't help but ask a question.

He was a student who failed the entrance exam for Tokyo University; this was a fact known throughout the entire academy.

"If it were a national exam, I would rank quite high, but unfortunately I failed the liberal arts exam."

Harumi Junko replied without hesitation.

Junko Harumi back then didn't have any particular weakness in any subject; it would have been better if she hadn't taken the humanities subject.

Maybe it's not an exam for liberal arts majors, then I might be able to pass.

But that's all in the past. Having finally emerged from the shadow of that incident, Harumi Junko still hopes to think less about such unhappy things from the past.

"Were there monsters all around me?"

Sayaka Kudo smiled.

One of them failed the University of Tokyo entrance exam, and the other will take the University of Tokyo entrance exam in a little over a year.

They're all pretty ruthless people, including Fumino Furuhashi, who gave up on humanities.

At this point, Sayaka Kudo also felt that she really didn't have much time left. She was still attending tutoring classes three days a week and occasionally had to spend time with her friends.

"I have to work hard..."

Sayaka Kudo is not optimistic at all right now.

Three days later, her mother visited Qingfeng Academy.

Sayaka Kudo's mother inquired about the possibility of her daughter being admitted to Keio University.

Both Mr. Tsubota and Junko Harumi gave their answers to this question frankly.

"It's hard!"

There's still not enough time, especially now that there are only three days of tutoring time each day, so her self-study isn't very effective.

After learning about the situation, Sayaka Kudo's mother sent a large sum of money for tutoring the following week.
