As time entered October, at this point, one vaguely realized that the year was nearing its end.
And because of a bet, Kudo Sayaka was full of drive, but also slightly tired.
People around her knew she was working harder and harder; the people at the Academy knew, and her friends also knew.
But not everyone understood her; after transforming the surrounding injustices into motivation, no one knew where her limit was before the exam.
"Aki-kun's current average deviation score is sixty-five, with math and science being the highest. Try to push harder and break the seventy mark before the end of the year. English is also worth mentioning; this is also one of Aki Tomoya's strengths. For the most difficult humanities subjects, let's maintain our current pace and continue, no need to push too hard."
Aki Tomoya sat in front of Mr. Tsubota, listening carefully to his words.
From April to October, Aki Tomoya had already fulfilled the agreement for the first semester, and his average deviation score had exceeded sixty.
And after the average deviation score reached sixty-five, the real battle had only just entered its initial stage.
He had been continuously working on past papers for the math and science sections of the National Examination, and the next step was to bring the humanities subjects up to pace.
Overall, Aki Tomoya's situation was promising, but he absolutely could not relax; compared to others, he had still fallen behind by far too much time.
But in comparison, being able to achieve this level starting from the second year of high school was something to be praised.
"For next year's first mock exam, Aki-kun, have you thought about your second and third choices?"
Because he would be participating in the National Examination mock exam next year, Mr. Tsubota had to remind him.
Having a second and third choice allows for comparison during the mock evaluation; if you only look at one and the evaluation isn't good then, it's easy to get discouraged.
Furthermore, Mr. Tsubota also knew that this student, who could be called the star student at his Academy, wasn't single-minded and only focused on Todai Faculty of Science III.
"My second choice is Juntendo University, and my third choice is Keio Faculty of Medicine."
Aki Tomoya informed Mr. Tsubota of the reply he had already prepared.
Mr. Tsubota's expression remained unchanged, while Harumi Junko, who was nearby, said in surprise, "Aki-kun really did research medical universities properly! Juntendo University is indeed an excellent backup option!"
If you're only considering private medical universities, then Juntendo is indeed the best choice.
However, it is also a fact that Tokyo University is overly mythologized.
"If possible, I still want to get into a National University Corporation."
Aki Tomoya shook his head and smiled at this moment.
Private universities are too expensive just considering tuition fees, especially medical universities and Faculties of Medicine.
As for national and public universities, other costs don't need to be considered for now; at least the tuition fees are standardized.
"My first goal is still Tokyo University. It will absolutely not change before the last mock exam and the National Examination. And even if competing with that group of aliens is really too difficult..."
"Science I and Science II are actually Aki-kun's real backup options, right!"
Harumi Junko took over the conversation at this moment.
Getting into Tokyo University doesn't mean the competition is over; at that point, it should be called the third selection.
The specific major is confirmed in the third year of University; the first two years are collectively called the Liberal Arts Faculty. Even the group who got into Risan could be pulled down by people like Aki Tomoya if they weren't careful.
Getting into Tokyo University is the first stage goal, Science III is the second stage goal, and Aki Tomoya has left himself plenty of backup options.
Only stubborn people would stubbornly persist!
However, setting the goal on Science III is absolute!
Striving and putting in effort with this as the goal will definitely yield outstanding results!
Mr. Tsubota and Harumi Junko looked at Aki Tomoya's face and felt quite emotional. While others were unclear and only thought Aki Tomoya was stubbornly persisting, he actually had a complete plan in his heart, with backup options prepared.
People face competition from birth, and when it comes to exams, whether it's about strategy or effort, one must absolutely not be single-minded.
This was a phrase Aki Tomoya kept in mind, especially for prestigious schools; they also disliked stubborn people. What they needed were trainable talents with active minds.
After the discussion with the Academy tutor in October ended, Aki Tomoya returned to his seat, and another student was now in front of Mr. Tsubota.
Aki Tomoya opened the reference book in front of him, but just as he opened it, the subtle gaze from beside him made Aki Tomoya couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"Kudo, is there something on my face?"
Aki Tomoya asked, puzzled.
It seemed like he hadn't done anything that would attract other people's attention.
At this moment, because of Kudo Sayaka's gaze, Aki Tomoya suddenly noticed that for a moment, everyone seemed to have looked over.
But now, looking at the people around him again, except for Kudo Sayaka next to him and Furuhashi Fumino behind him who was looking at him with envious eyes, everyone else had started studying diligently.
"My first choice is Keio University Faculty of Letters."
Kudo Sayaka's tone seemed a bit envious.
Her reaction made Aki Tomoya give a dry laugh. Was there something wrong with that?
First choice Keio Faculty of Literature, isn't that great!
"Aki's third choice is Keio University, Faculty of Medicine. Are you even human?"
Kudo Sayaka looked at Aki Tomoya with a surprised gaze.
If you were to create an internal hierarchy of disdain within Keio University, Keio's Faculty of Medicine would definitely dominate, looking down on all the faculties below.
This applies to any University in Japan that has a Faculty of Medicine; the Faculty of Medicine is absolutely at the top of the pecking order.
Their third choice is only Keio University's Faculty of Medicine, and Kudo Sayaka's mood is quite complex at this moment.
"As expected, people cannot be compared to each other!"
Kudo Sayaka sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Having such a deskmate, Kudo Sayaka truly couldn't find any other adjective besides "amazing" to describe Aki Tomoya.
"If you feel unbalanced, then pray that after you get into Keio Faculty of Literature, you'll see me looking down and out at the University when you enroll."
Aki Tomoya didn't know how to comfort Kudo Sayaka, whose heart was a little hurt at the moment.
At this time, he could only let her imagine the scene of him failing his exam, entering Keio University in a downcast state, and then running into Kudo Sayaka.
Kudo Sayaka looked speechless; to describe getting into Keio as being down and out was simply inhuman!
"Don't you dare let me see you in Keio!"
Kudo Sayaka wrinkled her nose and said fiercely to Aki Tomoya.
Comparison should be enough within the Academy; why be hit again after getting into Keio?! What's the point of that?!
Keio is one of the four major private Universities, after all!
"Getting into Keio in a downcast state, go to hell with that!"
