I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Page 143

From then until the end of November, Aki Tomoya's rest time was compressed to the point where it could not be compressed any further.

In the mock entrance exam in August, he once again gave it his all, setting his engine to maximum power.

Thanks to this, the dark circles under his eyes became increasingly dark, and by the end of November, people had started making fun of them.

"Compared to the beginning of the year, you're almost as big as a panda now!"

On a Wednesday at the end of November, Yoshihiko Uego pointed at Tomoya Aki's dark circles under his glasses and teased him in the classroom.

"You're just as good, and in my school, some people are already turning into giant pandas."

Aki Tomoya didn't mind his friend's teasing; in fact, he couldn't help but smile.

Everyone says they should get some rest, but when they think about how little time they have, they end up studying until late at night.

However, my body hasn't been completely drained yet, and I can still hold on.

"An Yi, you two should take a break."

"Let's not even talk about us. Kato, you've been squinting more and more often when we're studying together lately."

They all reminded each other to rest well, but they all knew that there was only a little over a month left.

The last national mock exam will be held at the beginning of next month, and then the results will be released. A few dozen days later will be the national center exam, which will be the first hurdle for Aki Tomoya.

Whether or not you can get the key to the second round depends on the first round in a little over a month.

But before that, let's finish the last mock exam first.

"Eri, you've already received the recommendation, right?"

Suddenly, Aki Tomoya asked Eriri, who was sitting at the table in front of him.

Eriri's first choice was Tokyo University of the Arts, which, like him, is a national university.

It's already the end of November, Eriri should have received her recommendation by now.

"Yes, it's confirmed, Tokyo University of the Arts."

Eriri smiled a little embarrassedly. She had already done everything she needed to do, including submitting the application and other written materials. Most of the work had been done for her without her even having to lift a finger.

The recommendation spot from Tokyo University of the Arts is already in hand, and there's almost no chance of anything going wrong.

Based on the awards she has won over the years, as well as her own abilities and talents, Aki Tomoya also felt that this was only natural.

However, he couldn't quite understand the embarrassed smile on the other person's face.

"Shouldn't this be something to be happy about?"

Aki Tomoya asked curiously.

Even though she had already received the recommendation, she should have been happy, but she didn't dare to show that happy smile in front of herself.

He thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "You're not afraid of hurting my feelings, are you?"

"...Are you that easily discouraged?"

Ying Lili pouted.

In the past two years, she has never seen Aki Tomoya suffer any setbacks.

She admires how hard he works, and yet his body hasn't been completely drained.

"From elementary school all the way to high school, but it's a different school in college, what a pity!"

Eriri cupped her face in her hands, recalling how they had attended the same school from elementary to middle school all the way up to high school. Now, in university, they were all going to different places for different goals.

"But they're all still in Tokyo."

"Yes, we're both in Tokyo. If we want to meet, we can do so right away."

They weren't in the same university, but they were in the same city, Eriri comforted herself with this thought.

I started preparing for the college entrance exam in my second year of high school, and it's finally here.

"Rin'ya's birthday is the 18th of next month, right?"

"Do you remember?"

Aki Tomoya looked at Eriri with surprise.

December 18th is his birthday, the same day as Michiru Hyodo, who was born on the same day.

Birthdays and such, since I was always alone before, my parents would mention it, but it really wasn't very meaningful to spend them alone.

Eriri seems to have something on her mind right now?

Chapter 171 Hope (1/?)

It's nice to have someone remember you on your birthday, but in reality, Aki Tomoya doesn't have time to celebrate his birthday.

The final mock exams will be on December 8th and 9th.

Then, during that period, I still need to continue reviewing. The exam will be on January 23rd and 20th next year.

"Thanks for thinking of that, but never mind, I don't have time."

First, she thanked Eriri for remembering, and then explained that she didn't have time to celebrate her birthday.

So unfortunately, birthdays are not a topic of interest for Aki Tomoya.

However, he was quite grateful that the other party remembered.

Then December arrives, the last month of the year, and the final national mock exam on the 8th and 9th is drawing ever closer.

"I get really nervous just thinking about the official exam coming up soon!"

Once this month is over, which means the end of the year, we'll start preparing for the formal college entrance exams at the beginning of the new year.

Kudo Sayaka doesn't need to participate in the first round, but she's still a little nervous about the crucial school entrance exam.

If she could get a B in her first-choice university entrance exam in this final mock exam, Sayaka Kudo thought her chances of getting in would be pretty good.

On the other hand, Fumino Furuhashi's revision went very well after she stopped interfering.

The last mock exam was on the 8th, but it arrived in the blink of an eye.

The day before the final mock exam, Aki Tomoya could still hear Kudo Sayaka praying next to him: "B grade!!!"

They were shouting so loudly, if they didn't have a B grade, they probably would have exploded.

With that in mind, the next day, they each went to different examination halls to take the last national mock exam of the year.

The exams will be held on the 8th and 9th, with arts and sciences exams conducted on separate days.

After finishing the exam, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the last mock exam. The next exam will be the national exam next month.

The results will be released on the 15th, and by the end of the last mock exam, the countdown to the first exam had already been posted in the academy.

There's only a little over a month left until next year's first test.

On the 15th, the day the results were released, Aki Tomoya immediately opened the simulation and took it out to look at it as soon as he received it.

"All A's?!"

Yoshihiko Uego, who was peeking from behind, cried out in surprise.

In the last national mock exam, he failed to break through the B grade, but in the final mock exam, Aki Tomoya finally achieved an A grade for all three of his choices.

"Dormant University is safe now, right?!"

"The first try should be a sure thing, the second try..."

Upon seeing this mock assessment, Yoshihiko Uego was even more excited than Tomoya Aki himself. He even thought that with such an A grade, getting into the University of Tokyo's third science class was a sure thing.

However, the pass rate for the first attempt is very stable, but you can't relax at all for the second attempt.

Aki Rin didn't continue, and Uego Yoshihiko could tell that getting into Tokyo University's third science class wasn't easy.

"How about yours? Your last mock exam results should have been pretty good, right?"

After putting away his mock exam results, Aki Tomoya asked Kato Megumi and Kamigo Yoshihiko about the results of their final mock exam.

When asked about their results, Yoshihiko Uego smiled and said, "Although we're not in the same league as you, we still have a good chance of getting into your first choice."

"I should have a chance with the Shinazugawa Law School too."

As always, Kato Megumi wasn't particularly excited, even though her final mock exam results were indeed impressive.

This morning at school, I received the results of the fourth mock exam and saw the results of the two classmates.

When he arrived at the academy in the afternoon, he saw Sayaka Kudo sitting anxiously next to him.

Her scores haven't been released yet, so this last mock exam must be very important to her.

On the contrary, Fumino Furuhashi clenched her fists and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. It seemed that the result was not bad.

"call!"

Sayaka Kudo let out a breath, then turned to look at Tomoya Aki.
