Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

Upon realizing this, Eiji Hasegawa was truly puzzled, but he still left the podium and went over.

Students may be afraid of Shiratori Osamu, but as a veteran teacher with over twenty years of experience, he is not afraid at all.

"What's wrong."

Hasegawa Eiji walked to the last row, his gaze not on Shiratori Osamu, but scanning the classroom to make sure no one was cheating with him, and asked in a low voice.

Having proctored exams for many years, he is a seasoned pro and has seen all sorts of cheating methods.

"I've finished my test paper. Can I start another test paper now?"

Only after he spoke did Shiratori Osamu respond.

"???"

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Eiji, who was scrutinizing the entire class, was completely stunned.

No, he's been a teacher for so many years and has never heard anything so outrageous.

What does it mean to say, "I've finished my test paper, can I start another test paper?"

"What did you say?"

With this unbelievable feeling, Eiji Hasegawa couldn't help but turn to look at Osamu Shiratori, wondering if he had misheard.

"I've finished this test paper. I'm really into it. I want to write a few more test papers to satisfy my craving."

Faced with his confused gaze, Shiratori Shu, who was maintaining his dual state, couldn't help but hum inwardly and asked softly.

This was his honest opinion; the final exam was unexpectedly easy, probably because he had already finished studying "Mathematics III" and "Mathematics C," which was far beyond the learning progress of the second semester.

He had built up so much enthusiasm, but it ended in less than half an hour, leaving him feeling unsatisfied.

"Have you finished the exam?"

Hasegawa Eiji still felt that what he said was outrageous, so he reached out and picked up his test paper to look at it.

He should have looked away, because once he did, he discovered that the exam paper was filled with writing.

Shiratori Osamu's handwriting is concise and efficient, and his solution process is written in a smooth and flowing style, making it look incredibly beautiful.

"..."

Although Eiji Hasegawa was not a math teacher, he was a physics teacher, so his math skills were not completely neglected.

Shiratori Osamu's solution process is concise and clear; following the process, one can immediately see that the answer is correct.

After scanning a few of the major questions, he turned his attention to the multiple-choice questions and began comparing them with the answer sheet.

"no?"

It would have been better if they hadn't made the comparison. After the comparison, Eiji Hasegawa was dumbfounded on the spot, feeling that it was unbelievable.

He had initially thought Shiratori Osamu was just giving random answers from the podium, but after actually seeing the exam paper, the truth was quite the opposite.

Correct, correct, correct, correct, pending—The multiple-choice questions on the exam paper were divided into basic and medium-difficulty questions. Because he hadn't touched math for many years, he needed to think carefully before he could distinguish between right and wrong when faced with complex medium-difficulty questions.

Meanwhile, the students who were seriously answering the questions couldn't help but become a little distracted because the proctor lingered next to Shiratori Osamu for a long time and was looking at the exam papers with a strange expression.

"What happened?"

Rie Asada turned around in surprise.

Why does Hasegawa-sensei look so shocked?

Seiichiro Kimura is the son of the head of student affairs, and he is quite familiar with the teachers at the school, but he still doesn't understand this situation.

"What problem did Xiu encounter?"

Seeing this, Nakamura Tomoki couldn't help but feel worried.

When the exam had 31 minutes left, Minami Yamabuki finished the last big question and put down her pen. She subconsciously looked for the proctor and found that the proctor was in the last row.

"hiss……"

After a long while, Eiji Hasegawa took a deep breath, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

Why did he feel that Shiratori Osamu did a very good job on his test?

Why was it that after carefully reviewing the exam paper and mentally calculating some of the difficult questions, he couldn't find any faults, and Shiratori's answers all seemed to be correct?

Was he still half asleep? That's unlikely. He even drank a can of black coffee early this morning to stay awake so that there wouldn't be any mistakes while proctoring today.

If he wasn't dreaming, then what's going on now?

Submitting a blank paper for the Chinese exam but a full paper for the math exam? That's just too unreasonable!

Cheating? But he had been staring at Shiratori Osamu for most of the time. Unless this guy had the exam paper and answers in advance and knew them by heart, it was impossible for him to do that.

If it wasn't cheating, what does that mean?

Although Shiratori Osamu is not good at Chinese literature, he is proficient in mathematics. He is a science genius.

Even if that's possible, it's absurd that someone can answer questions faster than the top student in the grade.

"Teacher, can I do other test papers?"

When he seemed to come to his senses, Shiratori asked in a low voice.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, and I still have a lot of test papers in my bag, I'll just pick up a couple more to have some fun.

"That's possible... but I have to take this exam paper away directly, and you can't disrupt the exam room discipline."

Eiji Hasegawa still didn't understand the situation, but he agreed nonetheless.

As long as students hand in their papers, it's acceptable for them to even take out their books to review and prepare for the next exam, as long as it doesn't disrupt discipline.

"Ok."

With his permission, Shiratori Osamu took out his schoolbag from his desk and pulled out two test papers.

Because his movements were so light and quick, Eiji Hasegawa didn't have time to bring the exam paper back to the podium and couldn't help but take another look.

2007 National College Entrance Examination (Mathematics Paper)

After stuffing his schoolbag back into his desk, Shiratori Osamu began working on his test paper.

For multiple-choice questions, he can basically just glance at them and the answer will appear in his mind before making a choice.

Seeing him take out the test paper and start scribbling, Eiji Hasegawa, who was about to return to the podium, couldn't help but stop and want to see how this guy was answering the questions.

"It's done."

Noticing that the teacher had stopped to observe curiously, Shiratori Osamu muttered to himself.

The final math exam was too easy, and he genuinely felt itchy to try it out; he also genuinely wanted to show off his skills in front of the proctor.

He could do nothing, finish the exam, and just wait for the time to run out, but since he's idle anyway, he might as well pave the way ahead and find a strong witness for himself.

A perennial underachiever who never studied seriously for less than half a month scored over 135 points on the final exam, and that was in high school math.

If he weren't the person in question, he would instinctively doubt the story's authenticity upon hearing it, because it's just too outrageous.

After all, academic performance should improve in a gradual, gradual way, much like climbing a mountain.

Soaring into the sky, reaching the peak of the clouds, it's really hard to doubt that it wasn't cheating.

"Really?" Hasegawa Eiji stopped and looked at it for a few moments, then began to doubt his life.

Suddenly, he remembered the teachers' meeting two years ago.

At the time, Shiratori Osamu had an extremely poor attitude towards exams. He would just fill in the multiple-choice questions and hand in the exam paper without writing anything for the other questions. As a result, his grades were terrible. In addition, he dyed his hair, wore earrings, and was rumored to have fought with delinquents from other schools.

In response to this situation, the head of the teaching department convened a meeting to discuss whether to persuade Shiratori Osamu to leave the school, or even expel him.

Most teachers subconsciously condone the lack of a positive attitude towards learning in such students.

Mr. Shimada, who had already retired due to illness, strongly opposed the idea at the time. He even bowed to everyone and pleaded, saying something that left a deep impression on him:

“Shiratori Osamu hasn’t done anything wrong, and he has a strong talent for learning. He even entered high school with the fourth highest score among all students in his year. He just went astray temporarily. If he is willing to study hard, his potential is definitely no less than that of Yamabuki Minami. As his teacher, I will definitely find a way to teach him well. Please give me and him a chance.”

The exact words may not be exactly like that, but that's roughly the gist of it.

Most importantly, the principal supported Mr. Shimada at the time, which led to the entire faculty turning against him. The dark expression on the face of the dean of students, who had been parachuted into Takeno High School for less than two years, is something he still remembers vividly.
