The mock exam on the eighteenth ended, and the group from Aomine Cram School, including the three graduating seniors who had successfully achieved their goals, took the opportunity to relax well under the organization of Harumi Junko.
However, that was the only night they could really relax. The mock exam results would be compiled by the twenty-second and then distributed to everyone who took the exam.
And not long after the mock exam results were released, Aki Tomoya's last semester of his second year of high school would also come to an end.
"I didn't bomb the mock exam, did I?!"
At school, Kamigō Yoshihiko shouted worriedly.
Finishing the first mock exam before the end of the last semester, then entering the third year of high school in April and continuing to take exams with the heavy blow of the first mock exam, Kamigō Yoshihiko almost imagined the most painful outcome.
"Didn't you already take the school's final exam before the mock exam? It was a rehearsal for you, are you still worried about failing?"
Aki Tomoya put down the graded exam papers of Kamigō Yoshihiko, saying as he did.
"Your English is really not just bad, Yoshihiko."
"...What's wrong with Japan's English being bad!"
Although he understood how difficult English was for Kamigō Yoshihiko, this wave of self-deprecation still made Aki Tomoya unable to help but laugh.
Japan's English, in terms of spoken language, is hard to describe in a word.
"It should be said that it's weird that you, Aki Tomoya, are good at English!"
"..."
Aki Tomoya couldn't refute.
It wasn't like he only knew Japan's hiragana and katakana.
But what needed to be graded was graded. The next second, Aki Tomoya returned to the main topic: "Do more English reading and listening practice. English is actually quite easy to score well on."
After the graduation ceremony and closing ceremony next week, spring break will begin, and then they will enter the third year. There isn't necessarily much time left; it can be said to be the most stressful and the final year.
During the last week of the second year, Aki Tomoya traveled back and forth between the Academy and school, and Sundays were also successively scheduled for reviewing with people he knew.
The time quickly arrived at the day the results were received on the twenty-second.
"Ahhh!!!! This is despair!!!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko's wails echoed around Aki Tomoya once again.
He performed a bit poorly; out of three choices, only the third choice received a C grade.
As for Kato Megumi, her evaluation for Fujikawa Faculty of Law reaching a C grade surprised her a little.
"It's actually a C grade..."
A rarely seen expression of surprise appeared on Kato Megumi's face.
Although it was only the Faculty of Law of a quasi-second-tier University, getting a C grade was already a pleasant surprise for Kato Megumi.
Kamigō Yoshihiko immediately cast an envious gaze.
Finally, it was Aki Tomoya's results; he hadn't opened them yet.
Only after he noticed the gazes of Kato Megumi and Kamigō Yoshihiko did Aki Tomoya slowly begin to open it, taking out the first practice evaluation.
Kamigō Yoshihiko was the first to lean over, then impatiently urged, "Hurry and look!"
"...Tokyo University Todai Faculty of Science III evaluated as C grade, Shuntendo University School of Medicine C grade, Keio University, Faculty of Medicine C grade. They're all C?"
Aki Tomoya looked at his all-C evaluations with surprise and delight.
All C grades, expectations met!
Although Juntendo University's status and influence in Japan as a whole are not as high as Tokyo University's, in terms of medicine alone, Shuntendo University School of Medicine's position in Japan's medical field is not much worse than Tokyo University's, perhaps even on par.
Especially since Juntendo University affiliated Juntendo Hospital is also one of the representatives of the standard in Japan's medical field.
As for Keio University, the two characters 'Keio' represent the pinnacle of private Universities in Japan, and its Faculty of Medicine is not much worse than the previous two.
Tokyo University has the highest overall influence and is almost legendary, followed by Shuntendo University School of Medicine, the top private medical University, and then Keio University, Faculty of Medicine, the pinnacle of comprehensive private Universities. Getting into any of them is a good outcome.
If there were any real difference, as Aki Tomoya saw it, besides influence, it would be the matter of money.
Private University Faculty of Medicine, or rather, private medical Universities are truly extremely expensive!
If you're not from a wealthy family and want to attend the Faculty of Medicine, if you can get into a National University Corporation, that's definitely the best option. It's not just because of the National University Corporation's influence, but also because it can indeed save a lot of money.
"Your C grade is completely incomparable to our C grades."
Standing behind Aki Tomoya, Kamigō Yoshihiko quietly said.
His eyes were filled with envy and admiration.
"But a C grade isn't enough; it's actually still a death sentence evaluation."
Don't trust too much the practice test result slip saying that a C grade gives about half a chance of getting in. This is a practice test based on the Center Test, not an entrance evaluation practice test for a specific University.
A practice evaluation, even if you do well, at most provides psychological encouragement and helps students understand their position.
...
The practice test results have been released; some are happy, some are worried.
At Aomine Cram School, after the practice test results came out this time, the two cram school instructors also looked at the students' results and their desired Universities' practice evaluations.
"Didn't the Keio Faculty of Policy Management get a C grade?"
Aki Tomoya asked Kudo Sayaka, who was slumped on the desk next to him, looking glumly at the practice test evaluation.
"But the Keio and Seijo Faculty of Literature evaluations are D!"
With increasingly prominent dark circles under her eyes, Kudo Sayaka replied unwillingly.
"Moreover, my average deviation value actually decreased. Was all my previous effort in vain?"
What hit Kudo Sayaka hard wasn't the D grade evaluation for the Faculty of Literature, but the fact that her average deviation value actually decreased in this exam.
After the practice test, instead of improving, she regressed. This was something Kudo Sayaka couldn't accept.
Since entering the Academy, she had been using Aki Tomoya next to her as a reference to work hard, putting in more effort day by day. The result of the first practice test being like this was something Kudo Sayaka couldn't accept.
At this moment, she felt very sorry for the people around her who had helped her, especially her Mother.
"Your English deviation value is sixty-one. Japan History and National Language dropped quite a bit. Weren't you overly nervous during the exam and didn't perform well?"
Aki Tomoya glanced at Kudo Sayaka's report card.
Except for English, her performance in other subjects wasn't stable. Looking at it this way, she was likely affected during the exam.
"English is the only one I can show, thanks to your help and Harumi Sensei's and Tsubota-sensei's help..."
"But besides English, didn't we do the past papers for other subjects together?"
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you suddenly apologizing to me again? You always say you feel a lot of pressure with me next to you. Were the people around you in the exam hall more stressful than me?"
