Furuhashi Fumino is very troubled!
In fact, in the week after the start of school, following the end of her summer tutoring at Aomine Cram School, Furuhashi Fumino's search for an Academy was not smooth.
Similarly at Ichinose Academy, after reporting her aspiration to enter the Astronomy Department, although the school was willing to help her, it wasn't very smooth, and instead, they subtly advised her that choosing humanities would be better.
Whether it was searching for an Academy or seeking guidance from the school's Teachers, Furuhashi Fumino's journey preparing for the science exams was not smooth.
But whenever she looked up at the sky, recalling what her Mother had told her, and saying the name of each constellation, Furuhashi Fumino's wish would not change.
"Furuhashi Fumino, if you were taking the humanities exam, you wouldn't need to suffer so much."
Walking on the streets of Tokyo, Furuhashi Fumino remembered what her guidance Teacher had said to her before leaving.
Although they were teaching her basic math and science problems, after it ended, that kind of advice made Furuhashi Fumino feel somewhat troubled.
Whether it was subtle or direct, Furuhashi Fumino had heard quite a lot.
They had great expectations for her talent in liberal arts, but questioned her desired major.
Considering her talent in science and math, which was contrary to her liberal arts talent, Furuhashi Fumino still took the Teacher's advice as a kind reminder.
"I went around in circles and ended up back here. Another day with no results!"
Furuhashi Fumino looked up at the Aomine Cram School across the street. The lights were still on upstairs. Those people she met during the summer break must be studying late into the night now.
Counting the time, they should be finishing their tutoring for the night soon.
In just half a month, Furuhashi Fumino had a deep impression of that Academy.
A Teacher unwilling to abandon students, a Teacher who would occasionally be lectured by students.
A boy determined to get into Tokyo University, a girl who set her sights on Keio University.
"They're coming out."
Furuhashi Fumino's gaze slowly moved downwards. Students in uniform came out of the Academy one after another and walked in different directions.
They were also a group of like-minded people, striving in the same place for their different goals.
If only she could join them.
However, after hitting walls at various Academies, Furuhashi Fumino realized that some Academies were not like what was advertised.
Even people who knew her Father were just scared and didn't dare to accept her.
Destroying a liberal arts genius by making her study science, which she wasn't ideal for, would lead to negative public opinion and slander from peers if she failed the exam, and possibly endure the wrath of a famous University Professor.
All of this was simply because her chosen major was science, not liberal arts.
Walking across the zebra crossing and arriving below the Aomine Cram School, Furuhashi Fumino thought of what Mr. Tsubota had told her after the last lesson of the summer break.
That Teacher was very willing to help her, but likewise, was afraid he couldn't.
When she decided to look for other Academies for consultation afterwards, that Teacher also said that if she didn't mind, there was still a place for her at Aomine Cram School, and there would definitely be people in this world willing to help her.
"Furuhashi Fumino?!"
A surprised voice sounded from the stairwell, pulling Furuhashi Fumino from her memories back to reality.
Realizing that she was standing below the Aomine Cram School, Furuhashi Fumino awkwardly scratched her cheek, thinking she had come here for a bit of comfort, but was still discovered.
Looking inside, it was the person who left the deepest impression among the students she met at Aomine Cram School.
"Good evening, Aki-kun."
Furuhashi Fumino greeted Aki Tomoya, who was walking out, somewhat awkwardly.
Aki Tomoya still looked at her with surprise, then suddenly thought of something and looked back up at the building.
"Haven't seen you in over a week. Good evening, Furuhashi Fumino..."
Aki Tomoya greeted her with a surprised tone.
After school started following the summer break, he hadn't seen Furuhashi Fumino for about a week, and now seeing her below the Academy building, his mood was somewhat complicated.
Observing Furuhashi Fumino's expression, he probably guessed that she hadn't found a suitable Academy.
"Haven't found another Academy?"
Aki Tomoya said it subconsciously, then regretted it a little. He had already guessed this, wasn't saying it a bit hurtful?
"Sorry!"
"Eh? Aki Tomoya is strange. You don't need to apologize, and... what you said is true, I really haven't found a suitable Academy, hahaha!"
Furuhashi Fumino waved her hand, indicating that Aki Tomoya didn't need to be so polite.
She had a forced smile on her face. Despite being extremely troubled by this, she could still laugh at this moment.
At this moment, Aki Tomoya truly admired this girl from the bottom of his heart.
Among people her age, there weren't many like her.
It's truly rare to see someone who recognizes reality yet remains so determined.
All her difficulties would actually be easy to solve if she chose liberal arts.
Just imagine, if Furuhashi Fumino chose liberal arts, it wouldn't be this troublesome. She wouldn't even need to go out and look for an Academy, and she would successfully avoid others' expectations of her turning into doubts.
People always took it for granted that they were doing what was best for her, but they never understood the person's feelings. In the end, it was nothing more than groundless speculation and being misled by Furuhashi Fumino's exceptional talent in liberal arts.
"Just after school started, Harumi Sensei said that we might have a chance to meet again. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Aki Tomoya sighed.
He didn't know what kind of mood Furuhashi Fumino was in standing downstairs and looking up at the Aomine Cram School, but her standing here meant that this girl hadn't successfully found a suitable Academy.
"Excuse me for asking, but has Furuhashi Fumino chosen a second major, or have those Academies asked you about a second major?"
Aki Tomoya asked at this moment.
Furuhashi Fumino thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes, they have, but they were all hinting for me to set my second and third majors in liberal arts. In the end, they still wanted me to take the liberal arts exam."
"That means even though you know that by just following their wishes, you would actually be treated and valued greatly, you are not compromising on your goal at all!"
Aki Tomoya sighed.
If Furuhashi Fumino set her second major in liberal arts, it could actually be considered a roundabout way to save the country.
Because if her second or third major was in liberal arts, it would be a different picture. Those Academies would definitely be scrambling to get her.
"Fortunately, Furuhashi Fumino is smart enough not to believe their nonsense, otherwise those Academies, which look good on the surface but are actually terribly self-serving, would have reaped the benefits!"
When Aki Tomoya described those Academies as having a villainous style, Furuhashi Fumino couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She didn't think as much as he did.
But it was highly probable that if she really took a roundabout approach, those excellent Academies wouldn't seriously guide her in studying science.
