Taking the people from Ichinose Academy alone, everyone around had expectations for Furuhashi Fumino.
Of course, it was in the field of humanities; in due time, she would achieve literary accomplishments.
The title of humanities genius didn't come easily. Furuhashi Fumino could be described as exceptionally gifted in the field of literature.
In terms of classical and modern literature, her performance was highly anticipated by those around her, or rather, looked up to by her peers.
Talent is something that often defies logic.
With such outstanding talent, it was natural for those around her to assume that she, who was pursuing the path of higher education, would most likely enter the literature department of a top private University.
Aki Tomoya was no exception to this, because when he first heard about this girl his age named Furuhashi Fumino, he also thought that she would utilize her talent.
But the reality was the opposite; Furuhashi Fumino's aspirations were not there.
"Where is Aki-kun's desired University?"
Noticing the strange look in Aki Tomoya's eyes, Furuhashi Fumino, in order to avoid the conversation revolving around her talent, immediately turned the topic to the boy in front of her at this moment.
Regarding talent, and the aspirations that went against her talent, Furuhashi Fumino was also very helpless.
The fact that others had expectations of her also troubled Furuhashi Fumino herself.
At the beginning of the summer break, Furuhashi Fumino asked her strict Father if she could attend cram school. Her Father didn't even finish listening to her words and simply replied with two words: "Go ahead."
Then there was no further response.
However, that Father probably didn't know that the area she decided to get tutoring in was not humanities at all.
From late July to mid-August, Furuhashi Fumino went around to various Academies in Tokyo.
At first, upon learning that she was Furuhashi Fumino from Ichinose Academy, everyone was very enthusiastic. When she consulted them, they would ask her about her desired school, whether it was Waseda University's Faculty of Literature, Keio's Faculty of Literature, or if she was planning to work harder to get into a National University Corporation's Faculty of Literature.
But when she expressed her wish to apply to a private University Astronomy Department, everyone treated it as a joke.
After finally explaining clearly that this was her desired school, the Academies, half-believing and half-doubting, gave her a math and science aptitude test.
As expected, the results were unfavorable, and they all advised her to make good use of her greatest talent, which was a treasure she was born with. Not using it would be too much of a waste.
Furuhashi Fumino then set her sights on smaller Academies like Aomine Cram School.
Furuhashi Fumino's situation now was this:
Large, excellent Academies were happy to accept her, but they valued her humanities talent. Even those who were willing to teach Furuhashi Fumino science were deterred by her terrible math and science 'negative talent'. If they were to take her on with great difficulty and teach her math and science, and she didn't pass in the end, the Academy's reputation would be at stake.
Especially since Furuhashi Fumino was a humanities genius from Ichinose Academy. If she came to their Academy to study math and science and apply to a science department, and she didn't pass in the end, it would be unavoidable to be slandered by competitors. It would be amusing if someone said, "XX Academy ruined a humanities genius student." Even if it wasn't their fault, they would have to take the blame.
Small, average Academies wanted to accept her but didn't dare. They wanted to accept her to take advantage, but the premise of taking advantage was Furuhashi Fumino choosing humanities. But Furuhashi Fumino chose science, and they would definitely be less confident in teaching Furuhashi Fumino math and science than larger, more excellent Academies. At the same time, they were afraid of displeasing Ichinose Academy.
After all, she was the humanities genius from their school. Even if she wanted to apply to a science department, larger, more excellent Academies weren't confident, so what were small Academies getting involved for?
Finally, Furuhashi Fumino was introduced to Aomine Cram School and found Mr. Tsubota.
"Although it's only the remaining time of the summer break."
This was pretty much the result Furuhashi Fumino managed to achieve.
Mr. Tsubota wanted to help her, but he also emphasized multiple times that their Academy would likely not be able to help and had subtly advised her otherwise.
After hitting walls at various Academies, Furuhashi Fumino felt this was already the best outcome.
One should know that other Academies, due to various concerns, didn't even give her a chance to try.
Aki Tomoya didn't know that Furuhashi Fumino's inner thoughts were so rich in such a short moment. He simply replied honestly after Furuhashi Fumino asked, "Tokyo University."
"Huh, at an Academy like this?"
Furuhashi Fumino said subconsciously, then immediately covered her mouth. What she just said was a bit rude, she really couldn't control it.
She smiled a little awkwardly, her expression a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just a little surprised..."
That's right, she was surprised.
Furuhashi Fumino really didn't expect there to be someone with such lofty aspirations as Aki Tomoya in such a small place.
You should know that even she felt satisfied just being able to get into the Astronomy Department.
But as for which was more difficult, Aki Tomoya thought Furuhashi Fumino's was easier.
Although he heard Harumi Junko say some scary things at the time, she was still an excellent student from Ichinose, a humanities genius, perhaps she was just not interested in math and science before.
Perhaps her math and science talent wasn't as good as her humanities talent, but it shouldn't be too far off...
Aki Tomoya thought this way and smiled at Furuhashi Fumino nonchalantly.
Later in the afternoon, Aki Tomoya knew he was wrong, he was really wrong, and he was greatly mistaken.
Furuhashi Fumino completely overturned his understanding.
Aki Tomoya at that time was dumbfounded.
Under the tireless repeated testing by Mr. Tsubota and Harumi Junko, the students throughout the Academy gained a more direct impression of their temporary new comrade during the summer break than the rumored humanities genius.
After realizing Furuhashi Fumino's appalling math and science talent, the one thing Aki Tomoya wanted to say the most at this moment was—
"God is fair!"
If anyone ever said the heavens were unfair, he would be the first to stand up and say no!
It's true that the heavens gave Furuhashi Fumino such excellent talent in liberal arts, but look at her science scores, you'll instantly feel confident, won't you!
"Furuhashi Fumino, I take back what I said before. It might be harder for you to get into the science faculty of a private University than for me to get into Tokyo University."
Aki Tomoya felt nothing in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
He finally understood why Furuhashi Fumino was only temporarily attending their Academy for tutoring.
It was no wonder Mr. Tsubota had such a troubled expression back then; this matter was indeed quite difficult.
"Well, anyway, this is just the first day."
Aki Tomoya didn't want to say anything like just giving up and honestly going to study at the Faculty of Literature at a top private University.
People who pursue their dreams with courage are not so easily swayed, especially smart girls like Furuhashi Fumino, who should clearly know their own abilities.
However, this is going to be a headache for the two Teachers at the Academy.
Because this is not a simple student.
As the saying goes, the task is heavy and the road is long!
