At 2 p.m. on the first Saturday after Golden Week, Mr. Tsubota reminded everyone at the academy of the date of the next national mock exam.
"Another mock exam!"
Sayaka Kudo sighed as if complaining about her inconsistent performance in the last mock exam.
After the mock exams in March, perhaps because of the excessive amount of time she had spent studying, Sayaka Kudo occasionally seemed a little tired, and you could feel a deep weariness in the depths of her eyes.
"Kudo-kun, don't push yourself!"
Harumi Junko placed her hands on Kudo Sayaka's shoulders and gently massaged them.
"Actually, if you study steadily like this, you still have a good chance of getting into your first choice, Keio University's Faculty of Letters. Don't push yourself just because you didn't do well on the last mock exam. That was just a mock exam based on the national unified exam, not Keio's entrance exam. The focus should still be on Keio's past exam questions."
The results of mock exams are valuable for reference, but they are only one possible reference.
Sayaka Kudo's mindset is still not stable enough, and Junko Harumi needs to take extra care of her in this regard.
On the other hand, having passed the last mock exam, Fumino Furuhashi is more confident about her studies in the next stage. It doesn't matter if she doesn't get into a top university, but getting into a decent university's astronomy department would be the best outcome.
It's worth noting that last May, given her math and science scores, Fumino Furuhashi didn't even have a chance of getting into a private university's science department.
"Furuhashi did well on today's test. If your score is good enough, you can try applying to a national university."
After helping Fumino Furuhashi lay a solid foundation, there was finally hope, especially after she passed the last mock exam, which was a great relief.
If she can improve her science scores to the same level as her humanities scores, then she can go to any national university she wants.
"Tsubota-sensei said that's going too far..."
Fumino Furuhashi knew that national universities were not even a consideration, and even if she passed the first exam, her chances of passing the second exam in mathematics were too slim.
My biggest hope is to get into the astronomy department of a good university, and this hope has already been raised.
Fumino Furuhashi used to have lower requirements for university admissions.
However, things gradually improved at Qingfeng Academy, and as she saw the results little by little, she gradually gained more confidence.
"There are only six months left..."
Aki Tomoya raised his head and sighed softly.
The first test will be in January next year, followed by the second test, which means there are only six months left.
There isn't much time left.
Everyone is preparing for the mock exam next month.
After studying until 5:30 pm, the academy took a break, and Aki Tomoya straightened his back and rubbed his neck.
Aki Tomoya, who doesn't usually bring his own lunch, just randomly picked a restaurant on the street to have dinner.
When he returned to the school building, he saw Fumino Furuhashi talking to Sayaka Kudo about something.
Kudo Sayaka stood next to Furuhashi Fumino, holding her arm, and Aki Tomoya still remembered the person in front of them.
"From Ichinose Academy?"
Aki Tomoya frowned, looking at Kirisu Mafuyu, the teacher who came to Ichinose Academy, with a puzzled expression.
The last time I saw this teacher, Kirisu Mafuyu, was last year. I didn't give her a friendly look that time. I was surprised to see her again this year, and she even came directly to the school to find Furuhashi Fumino.
Seeing this, Aki Tomoya walked straight over.
"Then, I'll take my leave first. Please make sure you discuss this thoroughly with your father, Mr. Furuhashi."
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Furuhashi Fumino with a worried expression.
As she turned to leave, she saw Aki Tomoya approaching, and her expression froze.
"Eh, cough cough, goodbye!"
Kirisu Mafuyu immediately calmed down and quickly left the area.
After she left, Sayaka Kudo looked at Fumino Furuhashi with a worried expression.
"what happened?"
Aki Tomoya turned his head and asked, "Kirisu Mafuyu runs really fast."
The look on her face just now was as if she had seen something very troublesome.
"Fumino, was the tripartite meeting at the school really as unsuccessful as that teacher said?"
Kudo Sayaka's attention was entirely focused on Furuhashi Fumino, and she didn't notice what Aki Tomoya had asked earlier. At this moment, she asked him with considerable concern.
The three stood downstairs. Aki Tomoya looked puzzled, Kudo Sayaka looked worried, and Furuhashi Fumino looked somewhat gloomy.
"Is that Mr. Kirisu here to advise you again?"
At this moment, Aki Tomoya also asked.
The last time I met Kirisu Mafuyu, she came to ask the academy to help persuade Furuhashi Fumino.
"No, Kirisu-sensei was just concerned about my situation..."
Fumino Furuhashi bit her lip; that wasn't the case. She then forced a smile and gave a brief explanation.
Prior to this, a three-way meeting was held at the school to discuss her college application.
Kirisu Mafuyu wasn't there to offer advice, but rather because she knew that Furuhashi Fumino and her father had clashed during the three-way meeting. She was just there to inquire about the situation, since at least she was still helping to tutor Furuhashi Fumino at school.
"Trilateral talks?"
Aki Tomoya frowned slightly upon learning of this.
It turns out that the conflict with my family broke out during a tripartite meeting at the school. Is it serious?
He remembered that Fumino Furuhashi's father was a university mathematics professor, and everyone at the academy was surprised when they found out last year.
This liberal arts genius and her mathematics professor father seemed to have a major conflict during the tripartite talks.
Although Fumino Furuhashi didn't elaborate, judging from her expression, things weren't simple.
If Kirisu Mafuyu hadn't come to her out of concern about this matter, Furuhashi Fumino would probably have kept it buried in her heart forever. In the afternoon at the academy, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Furuhashi Fumino.
Presumably, neither of the two tutors at the academy knows about this.
"Every family has its own problems... If this is something that Furuhashi-kun can't talk to me and Kudo about, should we discuss it with Tsubota-sensei and Harumi-sensei?"
It's impossible to fully understand the conflicts between Fumino Furuhashi and her family just by listening to a few words from her.
However, as fellow students, all he and Sayaka Kudo could do in this matter was offer comfort. There were limited things students could do, but adults could do different things.
"I've already caused trouble for the academy once..."
Fumino Furuhashi lowered her head, clearly not wanting the two teachers at the academy to know about this.
She also knew that Kirisu Mafuyu had come here last year.
After entering the third grade this year, a three-way meeting regarding the issue of volunteering led to a conflict with her father. Fumino Furuhashi does not want the school to be involved in such troublesome matters again.
"But, Furuhashi's father knows that you're taking tutoring classes at our school, right?"
Aki Tomoya shook his head and sighed.
A conflict arose during the tripartite talks over the issue of college choices. Her father was dissatisfied with her choice of majoring in astronomy, and Kirisu Mafuyu also sought out Furuhashi Fumino again because of this matter.
The conflict between Fumino Furuhashi and her father must have been quite serious.
The reason why everyone in the school knew last year that Fumino Furuhashi's father was a university professor was because her father had called to inquire about her when he learned that she wanted to take science classes.
"It would be best to discuss this with the teachers."
Some things are not something a student can handle smoothly. Even if they choose to hide it and pretend nothing happened, if they cannot resolve it properly on their own, it may still cause considerable hidden dangers.
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi pondered for a moment.
"Fumino, I also think that it's best not to think that one person can solve this kind of thing. Let's discuss it with the teachers."
When Kirisu Mafuyu was around, Kudo Sayaka listened to everything she said.
This matter is definitely more serious than what Kirisu Mafuyu said.
Under such circumstances, Sayaka Kudo, who considered her a good friend, was really worried.
"Seriously, if only this tripartite meeting hadn't happened..."
Fumino Furuhashi wore a wry smile.
To be honest, she doesn't have a good solution to this problem right now.
Chapter 152 Struggle On (1/4)
Route investigation is an unavoidable issue at the school.
School, students, and parents—this is the tripartite meeting.
We discussed the students' future paths, adopted three suggestions, and discussed the students' future paths.
As for Fumino Furuhashi's path to the astronomy department of a certain university, the school could barely understand it, and the student herself had an extremely strong desire for it, but the parents were a different story.
