Am I being simulated by their love affair?

When he heard the sound coming from the stairs below, Jun Matsueda stopped again. It seemed that the way to the classroom would not be so smooth.

The boy's voice is between immature and mature.

"...I've been keeping an eye on you since I enrolled. Although we're not on the same floor, I'll come see you whenever I get the chance. Whether you're at the podium or at your desk, you're always so charming. Even though you're not familiar with me, I still hope you can give me a chance."

It turned out to be a confession. Matsueda Jun sat down on the stairs. It would be too embarrassing to go down at this time.

The boy's confession sounded very sincere to Jun Matsueda, and he expressed his perverted behavior and reckless mentality very well, unlike the confessions he had heard before that were full of sentimental routines.

There are not many men who are so honest in this era. If a girl can understand his confession like Jun Matsueda, there might be a chance of a relationship.

"Tomatsu Yuka-san, please date me!"

Jun Matsueda changed his position on the stairs.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans for a romantic relationship recently." The girl's voice was very calm.

"Well, I'm very serious! I know Tomatsu-san has been in a bad mood recently. Stay with me, and I will try my best to make you happy-"

Tomatsu Tomoka interrupted the boy's flustered words, "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I already have someone I like."

There was silence in the corridor for a while, and the boy's voice trembled, "But, but he doesn't like you!"

He spoke fluently, "I know, Matsueda Jun, he's been getting close to that Mochizuki and the third-year senior recently. He doesn't care about your feelings, Tomatsu-san! Compared to a boy like that—"

"Didn't I say I don't plan to fall in love?!" The girl's sharp voice passed through the ears of the two men and echoed repeatedly in the corridor.

The stairs fell silent again, and the boy's breathing became heavier. Matsueda Jun stood up, prepared for any unexpected situation.

"I understand." The boy's footsteps sounded, and he walked upstairs and said in a low voice.

“What a bad attitude.”

When he noticed Jun Matsueda upstairs, his expression immediately became panicked and he ran away in a hurry.

Jun Matsueda did not move. He was waiting for Tomatsu Tomoka's footsteps, but there was no movement.

Apparently, she had spotted him, so Matsueda Jun came downstairs. When she saw the newcomer, the girl's face lit up with joy, but then quickly faded.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was you, Matsueda-san. I just wanted to see who was on the stairs."

Jun Matsueda nodded and walked towards the classroom, and the girl followed him carefully.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the classroom, he left. Tomatsu Tomoka picked up her bag and continued to follow him towards the school gate.

His pace quickened and the girl called out to him.

"Matsueda-san!"

Jun Matsueda turned around.

"I haven't changed my mind!"

The girl faced him in the evening breeze, trying hard to smile brightly.

"Is there anything else, Tomatsu-san?"

The smile on the girl's face gradually disappeared as the setting sun was obscured by clouds.

Jun Matsueda walked towards the school gate again, while Tomoka Tomatsu stopped where she was, her lips trembling.

"I just wanted to ask how you've been lately..."

"We haven't spoken normally for a long time..."

That's it.

Chapter 79 Destined Victory

The next day, Sunday, Matsueda Jun got up early, and when he walked out of the bedroom, Lai Qi Yangshi's room was still closed.

He went to the same Chinese breakfast shop with the red sign and left when the owner told him the twelfth cute thing about his daughter. He packed a breakfast before leaving.

When he returned to the apartment, the girl still hadn't gotten up. He put breakfast on the dining table in the living room and went into the room to continue reviewing the competition materials he had read last night.

At eight o'clock, when the alarm clock rang next door, Lai Qi Yangshi walked out of the room in a daze.

"Good morning--" The girl sat down on the sofa in the living room, stretched and greeted, not caring whether Jun Matsueda in the room heard it or not.

After coming out of the bathroom after washing up, Kurusu Yoshi finally woke up completely. She saw the buns on the table and knocked on Matsueda Jun's door.

"Matsuji! Is the breakfast on the table for me?"

Jun Matsueda stood at the desk without looking back and said, "If you don't eat it now, it will get cold." The girl quickly ran back to the living room to have breakfast.

"Delicious! This bun tastes much better than the ones at 711-Eleven!"

Jun Matsueda walked through the living room. He had changed into his school uniform and was wearing the denim waist bag that he had seen before.

"Are you going out?" Lai Qi Yang Shi said vaguely after swallowing the food in his mouth.

Jun Matsueda nodded. "As I mentioned before, the geography competition."

The girl remembered, "A national competition? Can I take first place?"

He shook his head and said, "I can only bring you a gold medal."

"That's fine," the girl said, reluctantly satisfied. "Don't forget my debut performance tonight! You have to be in the audience!"

Matsueda Jun changed his shoes, waved his hand, and closed the door. It was just the right time, as Kashida-sensei's car had just pulled up to the side of the road.

As Yuqiu Gao was the only one who advanced to the National Geography Olympiad, Mr. Kashida, who was in charge of the competition, decided to pick him up personally.

However, there was someone else in the car. After Jun Matsueda opened the door, the camera lens was pointed at him.

"Surprised?" The news minister sitting in the passenger seat turned around and looked at Natsumi Imokawa in the back seat taking a picture of Jun Matsueda's surprised face.

The car drove towards downtown Tokyo.

"Is this competition also included in the filming plan?" he asked Tsushima Kou in the front row.

"Of course, the National Geography Olympiad. Is there anything more valuable than this?"

“Isn’t that the Mathematical Olympiad?”

Natsumi Imokawa was grinning behind the camera.

"Okay. Don't affect Matsueda's mentality." After Mr. Kashida, who was holding the steering wheel, spoke, the car fell silent.

The journey was short, and they soon arrived in Shibuya. The car stopped at the gate of Aoyama Gakuin University. The four of them showed the gatekeeper their pre-approved passes. The giant statue of Jesus at the gate watched them as they entered the campus.

Aoyama Gakuin University is a prestigious private university in Tokyo. Together with several other well-known private universities, it is called "MARCH", and Aoyama is the "A" among them.

Tokyo residents often say that Aoyama University is the most beautiful university, and Jun Matsueda certainly sees quite a few women walking around campus. Japanese people are quite fond of ranking students, and someone even created a website called "Beautiful Student Guide," which features quite a few Aoyama students on the list, so the claim that Aoyama University is home to beautiful women is not groundless.

The examination venue for the previous Tokyo competition was also at the well-known Ochanomizu Girls' School. For a moment, Jun Matsueda was somewhat suspicious that the Geographical Society had some malicious intentions in choosing the examination venue.

According to the exam information, the exam halls were not open yet, so they could go to the waiting hall and wait. Matsueda Jun went into the hall alone, while the other three went to rest.

There were already quite a few students in the auditorium, and he spotted Kuroba Shin sitting in the front row at a glance. The student council president of Ochanomizu also noticed him, stood up and waved to him.

Jun Matsueda sat down beside her and looked up at the tall dome of the auditorium. This was a real chapel. Aoyama University was originally a seminary founded by missionaries, so it had a strong religious atmosphere, but it did not interfere with the students' beliefs.

"Feeling nervous?" Hei Yuxin sat next to Matsueda Jun. There was no table top on the seat here. The girl leaned against the back of the chair. She was small and looked like his sister.

"A little bit." Jun Matsueda thought he was quite confident, but this was the National Olympiad after all.

"It's okay, just lower your expectations. Don't think about getting a place in the international competition, just win a gold medal." As a senior, Hei Yuxin passed on his experience to him.

Jun Matsueda nodded. He thought so too. It seemed that this was normal thinking.

The students listening to their conversation sat further away. This National Olympiad had 149 participants, and only about 12 gold medals were awarded. While the couple's words were pretentious, anyone who could speak like that in such a position was likely truly talented. Sitting further away to avoid being affected was the best option.

At half past nine, under the guidance of the staff, the participating students walked out of the auditorium in unison. There were reporters from the educational media taking pictures outside. Natsumi Imokawa had already raised his camera, and Ko Tsushima walked to Jun Matsueda with a microphone.

"How do you feel now, Matsueda?" The two interviewed as they walked, attracting the attention of many Aoyama students.

"I feel more relaxed than before. I'm grateful to Aoyama University, the organizer. Whether it's the students, staff, or the scenery on campus, it's all very relaxing."

Jun Matsueda showed his signature smile to the camera, and the Aoyama students and staff next to him began to nod.

"So, how confident are you, Matsueda-san? What's your goal?"

"Don't think about the place in the international competition, just win a gold medal." Matsueda Jun answered two questions with one sentence, and Hei Yuxin beside him rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, finally, I wish Matsueda-san all the best in the race."

"Thank you."

Tsushima Kou took the microphone and stepped back, but Imokawa Natsumi continued filming, and the college girls who were watching the fun started to make a noise.

"Come on, Matsueda-san!"

"Brother Songeda, would you consider enrolling at our Aoyama University?"

"After Songeda finishes his exams, why don't you come to Qingshan's cafeteria? The seniors can treat you to a meal~"

Jun Matsueda could only smile in confusion and go over the World Heritage List again in his mind.

Before entering the examination room in the teaching building, he put all the things he brought with him into the locker, and Hei Yuxin stood silently beside him.

"My goal is to get a spot in the international competition," the girl suddenly said.

"Then I wish you all the best, Kuroba-san." Matsueda Jun didn't react much.

The girl's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish. "So I'm definitely going to surpass you this time!"

Without waiting for Jun Matsueda to answer, she turned and entered the examination room.

After stuffing his bag into the locker, Jun Matsueda underwent security checks by the blushing female examiner, walked into the examination room, and sat down in his seat.

He really only intended to win a gold medal and a place in an international competition, so he would have to continue with trials, attend training camps, and compete abroad, a long and cumbersome process.

With this time, he can sign up for other competitions and continue to win prize money.

So the girl's victory is inevitable.

Chapter 80 The Girl Buried Deep in My Mind

This exam was taken using a tablet computer, which was a quite novel experience for Jun Matsueda.

......

The ridge indicated in the image is which type of landform?

Hmm...it can be seen that it is a snow mountain with glacial movement. Choose D, lateral moraine.

The picture shows Stage 13 of the Tour de France. Which of the following elevation profiles does it correspond to?

The material map is just an ordinary map without contour lines, and you need to think carefully about how to correspond it to the cross section.

First, you need to flip the material map according to the starting point, and then determine the height of each section according to the English legend. The corresponding option should be option C.

......

He passed the map reading test with flying colors, and then came the comprehensive test, which was very similar to the geography section on the college entrance examination. Matsueda Jun finished all six of them in 20 minutes each. If it had been a paper test, his fingers would have been sore by then, but thankfully, it was an electronic test paper, and Matsueda Jun was relieved.

It was almost half past twelve. Matsueda Jun finished answering all the questions and compared the questions he was unsure about with the chart in his mind. After the exam was over, he and Kuroba Shin left the exam room together.

Neither of them discussed the exam content this time. After having lunch in the cafeteria, they boarded the Aoyama University bus.

The Olympiad isn't over yet, and next up are the field tests. Simply put, these are questions that require you to go out and investigate and answer questions.

The school bus officially departed at two o'clock. It was still early, so the two of them sat in the bus and started chatting.

"How is Yamamiya Moki doing in Yugaoka High?" Hei Yuxin pretended not to care.

"I'm not very familiar with Senior Yamami. I just see her at various commendation events." Jun Matsueda's fingers tapped on the glass, and the flying insects resting outside the car window trembled.

"Oh, senior will be leading the wind orchestra to the national competition in October." He added that Kuroba Shin was also there during the Tokyo competition, seemingly as a manager or consultant, but she didn't go on stage anyway.

"Aren't you in the wind band?" The girl remembered how he played drums on stage. He was average looking, but his posture was quite handsome.

"I'm from the News Department. I'm just working there as a temporary worker."

Hei Yuxin didn't know what to say, and the two fell silent.

"Are you close to Senior Yamami?" It was Jun Matsueda's turn to bring up the topic. He was a little interested in getting to know Yamami Moki.

"Me and her? Should we say that we have a good relationship or a bad one?" The girl's eyes lit up.

"We are the type who grew up together but we don't like each other."

Jun Matsueda couldn't imagine how Yamami Mayu would express her dislike towards others.

"Because I have been a genius since I was young, you know, the kind that always gets first place in grades no matter what I do." As he said this, Hei Yuxin proudly puffed out his barren chest.

"And she, Yamami Maki, a good child in the eyes of adults, has to work hard to catch up with me."
