Tokyo Psychic

The student with special education and talents had just finished a set of skilled "self-hypnosis" when he immediately heard a heart-wrenching scream beside him.

"Look at that name!"

Someone pointed to the top of the list.

Mishima Yuki and Sakamoto Ryuji both looked up and opened their mouths wide at the same time. This was the moment their worldview collapsed.

[Name: Amamiya Ren]

[Class: 2-D]

【Mathematics: 100, 1/240;

Chinese: 98, 1/240;

English: 100, 1/240;

Geography and World History: 92, 1/240

...Total score: 689, overall ranking: 1/240.]

Then I looked at the second-place student under the name "Amamiya Ren"...

Damn! How come the second place is almost 200 points behind him?!

The experience of playing games together in the Internet cafe after school seemed to become a false fantasy in an instant.

"There are more and more non-existent memories..." Mishima Yuki, whose face was pale, actually burst into a sound that was almost wailing.

"Everyone, make sure you all strive to get as many full marks as possible this time." Those exact words from Kurusu Akatsuki when we first met at the internet cafe still echoed in my ears with uncanny clarity.

There were seven subjects in total, and Kurusu Akatsuki only lost eleven points in total.

"He really didn't cheat?!" A short-haired girl next to them suddenly broke down and cried.

Someone recognized her. She was the second in the grade on the ranking list, a genius who was highly regarded by countless teachers and was believed to be able to be admitted to Kyoto Imperial University.

She was also known for her diligence, taking up to six remedial classes every day after school. It was said that the exercise books she had completed throughout her life would have been five meters high, yet due to her all-night study sessions, she seemed to have only reached a height of 1.5 meters...

Then today, they were beaten by a poor boy who transferred from the countryside and probably never took any extra classes in high school, with a terrifying score difference of nearly 200 points.

8:36 AM.

Xiujin High School.

“Hey, there are so many people.”

The black-haired boy was standing outside the lobby of the teaching building with a shoulder bag. Looking at the crowded scene inside, he scratched his messy hair in distress.

“How am I going to see the results now?”

"I can help you look," said a kind student union member next to him, "Just tell me the name. I just took a photo of the ranking list."

"Second year, Amamiya Ren."

"Okay, second grade, Amamiya... Ren?! The Amamiya Ren who scored 689 points?!!" A rather awkward high note.

I'm not from Kansai, but I was scared into speaking in a Kansai accent.

Kurusu Akatsuki watched the other party retreating continuously as if he had seen a ghost, feeling a little confused.

He felt like he'd made quite a few mistakes this time. For example, he accidentally lost a point in civics, wasn't sure about a haiku interpretation question in Chinese, and since he'd just started learning world history and geography, he might have gotten a true/false question and a few fill-in-the-blank multiple-choice questions wrong...

This exam only covers all subjects in the first year of high school, and does not meet the standards for conducting a deviation value test. Many of the question types involve repetitive knowledge points.

However, some of the questions were of the same difficulty as those in the entrance exams to first-rate universities. Overall, the performance this time was quite remarkable.

......

The above remarks all occurred in the math class half an hour later.

Ito Sanshui respectfully invited Kurusu Akira to the podium and asked him to share his psychological journey during the exam with all the classmates.

When Lai Qixiao returned to his seat, he found that Jing Qinrencai beside him was nodding and bowing, and was about to pay his respects to him as his master.

In one morning, the name "Amamiya Ren" became a hot topic throughout Shujin High School.

018. Cloth, a Wandering Half Life (Two in One)

(Weekend update: 7/8/8)

The sunlight breaks into the world through the window, illuminating everything in detail.

A "Chinese class" is going on in the classroom.

The Chinese teacher is reviewing last week's test papers.

Kurusu Akatsuki felt the fiery gazes from all around him that were inadvertently cast towards him. His raised right hand paused, and the half-turned ballpoint pen in his hand was stuck between his fingers. The black ink on the tip of the pen condensed into tiny dots. The sunlight shone through the transparent plastic pen barrel, casting scattered spots of light on the reference books on the wooden table like a kaleidoscope.

It was an imperceptible sigh.

He seems a bit too high-profile.

I had only studied in cram schools in Tokyo before, and I was used to the existence of monsters who could be recommended to the University of Tokyo. When I traveled back to high school, I forgot to hide my shortcomings for a moment and went all out in the exam room.

Kurusu Akatsuki looked at the seven report cards on his desk. The words "1/240", representing the first place in the grade, were specially written three times in bold red pen. The words between the lines showed the turbulent waves surging in the heart of the examiner.

Everyone had just entered the second year of high school and had not yet reached the sprint stage of really starting to improve their academic ability and work hard on solving problems. As a result, a country boy suddenly appeared and was able to get into Kyoto University without any additional points. It was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Generally speaking, a high school student who wants to get into college through hard study will see a step-by-step improvement in his academic ability after three years of phased study.

Try setting a percentage system for academic ability, and then set the score for admission to the University of Tokyo to "95~100".

Then a high school student is generally "0~30" in the first grade, "30~60" in the second grade, and after starting to review and study exercises in the third grade, he may reach his intellectual peak so far and reach the level of "60~80".

Starting from "80" points, it belongs to the realm of "geniuses".

Often, only those "geniuses" with talent and excellent learning habits can explore the areas beyond the "80" points.

Kurusu Akatsuki is a time traveler who was able to enter a top university based on his own strength without any additional points. His academic ability is approximately in the range of "90~92".

Although he has only recovered all the knowledge points from the first year of high school so far.

But there is a world of difference between the first-year high school students who have an academic ability of "92" and those who have barely reached the "30" level.

Kurusu Akira is also studying "Mathematics A", but he is training with the goal of studying at the University of Tokyo.

His classmates were just preparing for the period exams organized by the school...and they weren't even deviation value exams!

How is this played?

Ito Sanshui also thought of this problem.

But his opponent is not the genius transfer student Kurusu Akatsuki——

Instead, the entire Tokyo will always pay attention to these hundreds of colleges and universities that can be used as golden signs!

Kurusu Akatsuki has been in the spotlight today, and with that face of his, all sorts of news about him will soon appear on the desks of the board of directors of those prestigious schools.

He looked at Kurusu Akatsuki who appeared in his office with an expression as uncomfortable as if he was constipated.

As for forming a "special advancement class" with Qi Xiao as the core? The number of students is too small and the timing is too early, so it is completely inappropriate.

Are you talking about calling the teaching and research group together to give Kurusu Akatsuki some daily tutoring? ...

Ito found that there didn't seem to be much he could teach him.

This guy is more proficient in using various routines and techniques for analyzing and solving problems than ordinary math teachers.

As a teacher, there is little he can do.

But as the dean of studies, there seems to be a lot he can do.

Ito Sanshui thought of the other party's somewhat tight family conditions, so he suddenly straightened his face and said in a low voice with full energy.

"Amemiya!"

He suddenly looked at the boy in front of him.

"Yes," a listless voice replied.

Kurusu Akatsuki had been watched by the entire school for the entire morning, and gradually began to think about skipping school.

He really doesn't like being surrounded by a group of people.

"The genius transfer student who blew away the second-best grade by nearly 200 points and won the championship is actually a hidden super handsome guy?!" A post like this on the campus forum has over 2,000 comments.

I don't know who uploaded the photo of him walking out of the classroom without his glasses...

(013.webp)

In short, the combination of the labels [transfer student], [super handsome guy], [genius academic master], and [difficult family background] perfectly constitutes the most popular "beautiful, strong and miserable" character on the Internet.

The posts in the campus forum showed signs of breaking out of the circle, which made Kurusu Akatsuki feel very bad.

If he became a famous figure, would it be a little more difficult to carry out his work as a "Thief of the Mind" in the future? But at this point, as an ordinary high school student, he couldn't block this hot post that was about to go viral, so he could only accept it as it unfolded.

Kurusu Akatsuki also straightened his face and looked seriously at the dean in front of him.

He felt it was a bit rude to just answer "Yes", so he added, "I'm listening."

"The following question may make you a little uncomfortable."

"Please ask."

"Well, excuse me for the intrusion."

Ito Sanshui coughed twice, feeling a bit awkward. "I heard your family situation is a bit difficult. Is this true?"

Kurusu Akatsuki deadpanned, "It's true."

I'm already in debt of 10 million, how can it not be difficult?

Kurusu Akatsuki calculated the interest he would need to pay next month... Never mind, that number was too hopeless, and he felt a little discouraged.

He always felt that it didn't matter if he continued to be in debt, because no one could take the debt away from him anyway.

Whenever the bank or the court calls, he can simply say with confidence, "I am a minor and have no ability to repay," and the problem will be easily solved.

If you want to entrust the yakuza with violent debt collection... then go ahead. Kurusu Akatsuki isn't as fragile as "Amamiya Ren." Even if all the gangs in Japan were called in to surround him, he'd have a way to escape unscathed.

But the thought of being a "deadbeat" only stayed in his mind for a moment before it was dispelled.

Because he didn't know what kind of people those creditors were or what kind of families they came from.

If they are very troubled by the lack of their own millions of dollars in repayment, and they are kind-hearted people who love life...

Kurusu Akatsuki himself couldn't get over the hurdle of his own conscience.

So he once again added to Ito Sanshui, "My family owes 10 million in debt."

He knew that Ito Sanshui asked this question because he wanted to provide some help on behalf of the school. Therefore, he had to accurately and clearly report his difficulties to live up to this kindness.

"Huh?!" Ito Sanshui's eyes widened when he heard the word "ten million".

The expression and eyes of the legendary "Devil Ito" softened in an instant.

"You should be working, right?"

"Yeah, working in a coffee shop."

"What's the hourly wage like?"

"Food and lodging are provided, and including weekend overtime bonuses, I can make an average of over 1,000 yen an hour, and I work about three hours a day."

"Not bad, not bad..." Ito Sanshui said hesitantly.

The dean calmed down for a while before continuing the topic.

"Any ideas for attending some competitions in place of the school?"

"Is the prize money large?"

"a lot of!"

"Okay, I'll join!"

Ito Sanshui forced a smile. "Based on your current grades, if you keep up the momentum, you should be able to get all the scholarships by the end of the semester. All in all, they should add up to... around 600,000 yen a year."

He seemed to have made a very difficult decision. He suddenly stood up, quickly closed the office door, and locked it.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone outside what happens next."
