I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

In the September mock exam, Sayaka Kudo hopes to get a B.

At the same time, Fumino Furuhashi, who was behind Sayaka Kudo, started sprinting very early.

Perhaps because she saw hope this time, Fumino Furuhashi took this mock exam very seriously.

Before I knew it, August had passed quietly.

Throughout the entire summer vacation, until school started, Tomoya Aki didn't do anything else.

Besides reviewing, it’s still reviewing.

So when school started in September, he began to make final preparations for the third national mock exam.

"Didn't you go out to play for a single day during the summer vacation?"

In the classroom, Eriri turned around and looked at her childhood sweetheart's increasingly obvious dark circles under his eyes and asked.

While sorting out his notes, Tomoya Aki replied, "No time."

There was no time to go out during the entire summer vacation.

The Saturdays and Sundays during the summer festival were also the time for the mock entrance exams, and on the day of the fireworks display, I watched the fireworks with everyone in the school.

"My admissions judgment was not good."

At this time, Aki Tomoya looked up and suddenly laughed.

His words stunned Eriri.

After hearing the result of the simulation judgment from him, Eriri wanted to comfort him, but found that Tomoya Aki himself didn't need it at all.

On the contrary, it was precisely because he knew that the admission decision this time was not good that he worked even harder.

The notebook in Tomoya Aki's hand and the reference books next to it have been changed again and again, and sets of real test questions are piled up again and again.

“Is it really that important to get into the University of Tokyo?”

Eriri asked in her mind, and the answer immediately came to her mind.

For her, taking the college entrance examination was a very simple thing. Last year's experience with Utaha Kasumigaoka made her feel that getting into a top university like Keio University seemed easy.

However, the fact is that very few people can "casually" get into top universities.

Eriri was recalling the smile on Tomoya Aki's face when he said the admission decision was not good.

It's not that he's forcing a smile on her face, but that he hasn't given up yet and still has confidence.

Silently clenching her hands, Eriri quietly watched Aki Tomoya finish organizing his notes and then concentrate on opening the reference book.

At this moment, she remembered that in August last year, Aki Tomoya told her that they were in two different worlds.

"If Lun hadn't retired from his home and wasn't preparing for college, what would he have done?"

Ying Lili couldn't help but think about it, but then she didn't dare to think about it.

Because she already knew that she should have been admitted to the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto, and she knew how much influence such a prefix could have on a person.

Some people can get it easily, while some people have to fight hard, and even if they fight hard, they may become a stepping stone for others.

"You can easily get into Tokyo University of the Arts. Maybe that's the difference..."

Chapter 170 is coming soon (4/6)

The third mock exam ended in late September.

Sayaka Kudo still did not get her B grade judgment, all she got were C grade judgments. However, this result did not discourage her too much. After all, having a C grade judgment was still some consolation.

Tomoya Aki's scores have improved slightly compared to the last mock exam, and the pass rate for the first exam is steadily increasing.

In the third mock exam, the person who was most satisfied should be Fumino Furuhashi.

There is a B grade judgment, although it is not the B grade judgment of the first choice.

She handed the third simulation judgment to her father, and it seemed that there was no change in her. From what she said, it seemed that Guqiao Lingshi still found it difficult to face her.

"The good news is that you don't oppose me that much..."

She didn't know what had happened to her father, Furuhashi Reisakumi, or what his transformation and some of his seemingly strange behaviors were all about, but Furuhashi Fumino believed that not opposing her again was probably the only thing her father could do now.

The other party had something to say that was difficult to express, and since she didn't know the specific reason, she didn't dare to speak up either, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

As for this matter, two tutors in the cram school knew some hidden secrets.

"Professor Furuhashi hasn't said it yet."

Junko Harumi in the office looked through the glass at Furuno Furumi in the cram school.

"After all, it's hard for anyone to face the fact that he hasn't fulfilled his father's duties for more than a decade."

Mr. Tsubota also felt a little sad about this.

The conflict between father and daughter arose ten years ago. There was no normal parent-child communication afterwards, and they failed to fulfill their obligation to teach and guide their children. Now it seems that it is too late.

"However, I think Professor Furuhashi should have told us about his wife earlier. Furuhashi also deserves to know her mother's last words."

Junko Harumi sighed at the end of her speech.

Furuhashi Reisakumi found them and was said to have found his wife's belongings and finally received his deceased wife's last words, but it is now very difficult for him to face Furuhashi Fumino.

The two tutors had no reason to refuse the request to help their daughter, but they also felt a little sad about what was happening in Guqiao's family.

If this had happened earlier, such a fierce conflict would not have broken out. If he had guided Fumino Furuhashi earlier, there would have been a great hope for her regardless of whether she was in the liberal arts department or the science department.

"If I tell Furuhashi-san that her father came to see her secretly, she will definitely be shocked."

Junko Harumi couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"But now it's all good. Everyone in the school has finally settled down and has no distractions..."

If we can maintain this last period of time without any external interference, I hope everyone will have a satisfactory answer in March next year.

September passed by in a flash, and by October, time was running out.

The test in late January next year is getting closer.

I have to travel back and forth between school and cram school every day, and also have to make time for it on Sundays.

From then until the end of November, Aki Tomoya's rest time had been compressed to the point where it could not be compressed any further.

During the mock entrance exam in August, he once again gave it his all and adjusted his engine to maximum power.

Thanks to this, the dark circles under his eyes became darker and darker, and by the end of November, people had already started making fun of his dark circles.

"Compared to the beginning of the year, you're almost like a giant panda now!"

On a Wednesday in late November, Yoshihiko Uego pointed at the dark circles under Tomoya Aki's glasses in the classroom and teased him.

"You are not far behind, and there are already people in my school who are about to turn into giant pandas."

Akitomo didn't mind his friend's teasing, and couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone says they should have a good rest, but when they think about the limited time, they end up reviewing until late at night.

But the body has not been hollowed out and can still hold on.

"Aki-kun, you two should take a break."

"Don't talk about us, Kato-san, you've been squinting more and more when we've been reviewing together recently."

Everyone reminded themselves to have a good rest, but they all knew that there was only a little over a month left.

The last national mock exam will be held at the beginning of next month, and then the results will be out. In a few dozen days, it will be the national central exam, which is also the first hurdle for Tomoya Aki.

Whether you can get the stepping stone to enter the second test depends on the first test more than a month later.

But before that, let’s finish the last mock exam first.

"Eri, you've got the recommendation, right?"

Suddenly, Tomoya Aki asked Eriri at the front table.

Eriri's first ambition was Tokyo University of the Arts, which, like him, was also a national university.

It's the end of November now, and it's time for Eriri to get a recommendation.

"Yes, it has been confirmed, Tokyo University of the Arts."

Ying Lili smiled a little embarrassedly. She had already done everything she needed to do, including submitting the application and the written materials. Most of the things didn't actually go through her hands, as someone else did them for her.

The recommendation quota for Tokyo University of the Arts has already been obtained, so there will be almost no surprises.

Based on the awards she has won over the years and her own abilities and talents, Aki Tomoya also feels that this is a matter of course.

However, he was a little confused by the embarrassed smile on the other person's face.

“Isn’t this something we should be happy about?”

Aki Tomoya asked curiously.

She should have been happy that she had already received the recommendation, but she didn't dare to show such a happy smile in front of herself.

He thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid of hurting me?"

"…Are you that easily discouraged?"

Ying Lili pouted.

In the past two years, she has never seen Aki Tomoya being hit.

He just keeps working harder and harder, and his body hasn't been drained yet, which she admires.

"From elementary school to high school, but when I got to college, it was no longer a school. What a pity!"

Eriri held her face in her hands, thinking back to elementary school, junior high school, and all the way to high school, they had all been in the same school, but now in college, they were each going to different places for different goals.

“But they are all still in Tokyo.”

"Yes, we are all in Tokyo. If you want to meet, we can meet right away."

They were not in the same university, but still in the same city. Eriri used this to comfort herself.

I started preparing for the exam in my second year of high school and it’s finally here.

"Ryouya's birthday is on the 18th of next month, right?"

"Do you remember?"

Aki Tomoya looked at Eriri in surprise.

December 18th is his birthday and the birthday of Michiru Hyodo, who was born on the same day.

As for birthdays, since I used to celebrate alone, my parents would mention it, but it’s really meaningless to celebrate alone.

And it seems like Ying Lili has some ideas now?

Chapter 171 Hope (1/?)

It's a good thing that someone remembers your birthday, but the truth is, Tomoya Aki doesn't have time to celebrate his birthday.

The last mock exams will be on December 8th and 9th.

Then you still have to continue reviewing during that period, and there will be an exam on January 23rd and 20th next year.

"Thank you for thinking of it, but never mind. I don't have time."

He first thanked Eriri for remembering her, then explained that he didn't have time to celebrate his birthday.

So unfortunately, topics like birthdays are not within the scope of Aki Tomoya's interest.

But the other party still remembered it, and he was grateful for that.

Then we entered December, the last month of the year, and the last national mock exams on the 8th and 9th were getting closer.

"I get so nervous when I think about the official exam soon!"

After this month, that is, after this year, we will start preparing for the formal entrance examination at the beginning of the new year.

Sayaka Kudo didn't have to take part in the first test, but she was still a little nervous about the crucial school exam.

In the last mock exam, if she could get a B in her first choice, Kudo Sayaka thought, then her chances of passing the exam would still be good.
