The daughter of a mathematics Professor, yet her talent in liberal arts was pleasing, while her talent in science and math was frightening.
If Furuhashi Fumino hadn't said it, probably no one would have associated Furuhashi Fumino's Father with being a University mathematics Professor.
What still surprised Aki Tomoya was Furuhashi Fumino's strength.
Everyone was thinking of not letting it slip, but Furuhashi Fumino already knew about Kirisu Mafuyu's visit to the Academy.
The person who buried this matter in her heart and didn't care about it is still persevering now.
Before Christmas in december, the second semester would end, and only this much time was left in the year.
"The closing ceremony is coming up soon."
The closing ceremony was scheduled for next week. The winter break would start before Christmas, followed by New Year's Day. The vacation would probably be about two weeks long.
According to Toyosaki Academy's arrangements, there were no final exams scheduled in december, and there would be no midterm exams in the third semester next year, only final exams.
And before entering the third year, those who were going to advance their education would have to start taking national mock exams.
"It's great that your preferences are decided!"
In the library, Aki Tomoya said happily.
After studying together for so long, Kamigō Yoshihiko finally confirmed his first and second choice private Universities.
They were two Universities whose names Aki Tomoya found unfamiliar. According to Kamigō Yoshihiko, based on the materials Aki Tomoya got from Aomine Cram School, his first choice was a good University considering his personal situation, and his second choice was the one he was most confident about getting into.
What was left for Kamigō Yoshihiko was probably to have a showdown with his family on New Year's Day.
"But I have to start taking mock exams next year. Just thinking about it makes me nervous!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko rubbed his chest, already showing some symptoms of pre-exam syndrome at this moment.
Even though there were still several months until the first mock exam, Kamigō Yoshihiko was not optimistic at all.
The simulated judgment of mock exam results was probably equivalent to an execution for many people.
"As long as the first mock exam judgment isn't E-rank, it's fine. Don't underestimate the last year remaining; there's still plenty of time!"
Aki Tomoya joked.
If someone got an E-rank judgment even when testing for a regular private University, it could only prove that this person was truly not cut out for studying, or hadn't put in any effort at all.
"Speaking of which, what were your second and third choice preferences? And Kato-san, what about you?"
Kamigō Yoshihiko asked curiously at this moment.
It was confirmed that Aki Tomoya's first choice was Tokyo University Science III, and Kato Megumi's first choice was Fujikawa Faculty of Law. Both were much higher than his first goal, especially his friend Aki Tomoya's.
Aki Tomoya then casually stated his already decided second and third choice preferences.
After listening, Kamigō Yoshihiko pretended not to have heard and turned to look at Kato Megumi beside him. The look in his eyes seemed to indicate he had suffered a significant blow.
"First choice Fujikawa Faculty of Law, second choice Fujikawa Faculty of Commerce, third choice, well, not decided. If I apply for three faculties at once, I won't be able to handle it."
Kato Megumi replied. At the same University, she couldn't apply for three faculties at once.
Moreover, to be honest, Kato Megumi actually felt that just getting into University would be enough.
"They're all Fujikawa University. Does Kato-san really like Fujikawa Bookstore?"
Aki Tomoya couldn't help but ask at this moment.
To this day, he still doesn't understand the relationship between Fujikawa University and Fujikawa Bookstore. It looks like they are affiliated, but if you check the information carefully, it's just a coincidence.
Fujikawa University, unknown in Tokyo, only its law department is presentable.
"Fujikawa Bookstore?"
Kato Megumi looked confused. It seemed she really wasn't an otaku.
Aki Tomoya and Kamigō Yoshihiko weren't surprised either. In everyone's impression, Kato Megumi was just an ordinary high school girl.
"Don't mention Fujikawa Bookstore, okay? Kasumi Shiko's writing and Kashiwagi Eri's illustrations, the new work that's selling hot right now, I haven't even..."
Just as Kamigō Yoshihiko was about to steer the conversation to an unrelated topic, Aki Tomoya immediately interrupted him.
"Alright, enough small talk. Today's topic is a persistent social issue: the aging population. Japan is doomed!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko pouted. This time, he didn't want to complain about why it was another short essay, but rather why it was this kind of topic.
He couldn't help but cough, then smiled and said, "No way, this kind of topic?"
From the moment he heard Aki Tomoya's tone, Kamigō Yoshihiko couldn't suppress the urge to retort within him.
The aging population is an unavoidable problem for Japan, but Kamigō Yoshihiko, a Heisei era man, found it too troublesome to care about future problems.
"Undeniably, this is indeed a good topic. Japan is doomed, Heisei era man."
"Japan is doomed."
Aki Tomoya and Kato Megumi said "Japan is doomed" in almost identical tones, making Kamigō Yoshihiko desperately want to retort.
But since the other two had already agreed, they might as well use this topic.
"Japan is doomed..."
Kamigō Yoshihiko spread out his manuscript paper, thinking carefully about how to start writing.
However, the problem arose. Leaving aside whether Japan was doomed or not, when had he ever paid attention to issues like the aging population?
"Can't write anything!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko looked up and quietly glanced at the other two. Aki Tomoya and Kato Megumi's pens were constantly moving, while only Kamigō Yoshihiko was unable to start writing at this moment.
This made Kamigō Yoshihiko sigh and say, "Why can you two write?"
"I need short essays for the National Examination. Kato-san and you have to take it just like the entrance exam. If you don't pay attention to current news highlights, are you going to think of something on the spot then?"
Aki Tomoya looked up and replied.
"Reading more news and newspapers is still helpful. Practicing with a hundred past topics is fine, but University examiners prefer people who are current and keep up with the times. Besides, the aging population is mentioned every year, right?"
From his appearance, Aki Tomoya knew that Kamigō Yoshihiko had been negligent in this area, otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to even start writing at this moment.
In contrast, the other person in the study group, Kato Megumi, had properly remembered Aki Tomoya's reminder and had been paying attention to current hot topics at home while preparing for the exams.
"I've been lazy..."
Kamigō Yoshihiko lowered his head in shame.
Memorization is indeed necessary for liberal arts, but there are other aspects to pay attention to.
Kamigō Yoshihiko, who had thought he was diligent enough, once again found his shortcomings.
"If only I could write about the hottest things in the two-dimensional world during the exam..."
Kamigō Yoshihiko sighed, but he didn't have that kind of courage.
