Was Kirisu Mafuyu wrong in what she said?
Aki Tomoya didn't think so.
If it were before he truly knew Furuhashi Fumino, Aki Tomoya would have strongly agreed.
However, now Aki Tomoya considered himself a part of Aomine Cram School.
From the Academy's perspective, Aki Tomoya didn't think they were wrong.
Aki Tomoya felt that the problem in this matter didn't lie with anyone, it was Furuhashi Fumino's own problem.
"Indeed, as you just said, Furuhashi Fumino can easily achieve what most of us are desperately striving for."
Given Furuhashi Fumino's talent in liberal arts, getting into a top private University is basically guaranteed, and many people are willing to extend an olive branch to her.
This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.
Putting a genius and a group of ordinary people together, all Kirisu Mafuyu wanted to do was remind them that when there is a disparity, the conflict of imbalance will arise.
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Aki Tomoya, and after hearing his words, she was initially a little puzzled.
What was the stance of this boy in front of her?
Stating such an obvious fact, was he planning to use some method that would harm the enemy a thousand and himself eight hundred?
And at this moment, Aki Tomoya continued in a tone slightly different from before: "Unfortunately, this genius is in some ways not even as good as an ordinary person. That stubborn head is crashing into this. Kirisuna-sensei should be worried, when she fails, will someone laugh at her naivety?"
Aki Tomoya's words made Kirisu Mafuyu's eyebrows furrow slightly in displeasure.
As he said, in terms of aspirations, Furuhashi Fumino was indeed too stubborn, and even her backup choices were not within the reasonable options in the eyes of others.
"It must be more difficult for her, who gave up her advantage, than for us?"
If you disregard the so-called talent in liberal arts, Furuhashi Fumino is no different from others at Aomine Cram School, and can even be said to be the most difficult one.
Based on the situation where Furuhashi Fumino gave up her advantage, Aki Tomoya only regarded Furuhashi Fumino as a student who was more difficult than everyone else at the Academy.
The goal of getting into a regular science University is full of difficulties and obstacles for Furuhashi Fumino.
"Like Kirisuna-sensei, you are worried about us being affected, I think you should be worried about whether someone will kick Furuhashi Fumino when she's down after she fails!"
Aki Tomoya said.
Falling headfirst into a mud pit, this is Furuhashi Fumino's current situation.
Dividing liberal arts and science into two paths, Furuhashi Fumino can travel smoothly on the liberal arts path, which is definitely bright.
Conversely, how difficult the science path is for Furuhashi Fumino needs no further description.
Having abandoned her talent, and not yet having compromised, Furuhashi Fumino is truly nothing remarkable at Aomine Cram School; on the contrary, she is the person who causes the most worry.
"So, that's why I..."
It was precisely because she knew that Furuhashi Fumino would most likely fail that Kirisu Mafuyu came here, trying to persuade Aomine Cram School not to accompany Furuhashi Fumino in her "fooling around."
However, before she could say anything, she was interrupted.
"So Kirisuna-sensei's sense of responsibility is very moving, but have you perhaps mistaken the person you should be persuading?"
Aki Tomoya interrupted before Kirisu Mafuyu could speak.
He took two steps forward, looked directly into Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes, and said forcefully: "Our Academy is just treating everyone equally. When she doesn't want to compromise on anything or change her aspirations, we are just trying to help her. Did we do something wrong?"
To make Furuhashi Fumino not apply for the Astronomy Department, coming here was a completely wrong choice in Aki Tomoya's eyes.
This is what Aki Tomoya saw in Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes.
"Go persuade Furuhashi Fumino, don't stop the people who are willing to help her, Kirisuna-sensei from the prestigious private school."
Aki Tomoya pressed his hands on the table, his demeanor as if looking down on Kirisu Mafuyu from above.
The Academy's obligation is to help people with tutoring. If that's wrong, then all Academies in Tokyo should just close down.
"If Furuhashi Fumino doesn't come to us, won't she go somewhere else for help?"
The period around the summer vacation has already proven that Furuhashi Fumino is not someone who gives up easily.
"The problem isn't with us at all. What's the use of you running here? If you want to criticize, go criticize Furuhashi Fumino for choosing what she wants, not choosing what she values as worthless but others see as the best. Don't come here to stop people who want to help her face less doubt and not be kicked while she's down. Go persuade Furuhashi Fumino yourself!"
Aki Tomoya's tone rose slightly.
Persuading Furuhashi Fumino directly is a million times better than running here.
Harumi Junko sighed at this moment, secretly cursing herself for being useless. These words shouldn't have been said by a student in the Academy, but by her, as an adult.
"We can't persuade Furuhashi Fumino here, we can only do our best to help her. Please leave, Kirisuna-sensei."
Harumi Junko stepped forward and said with a tone of regret.
The two tutoring instructors at Aomine Cram School weren't without trying to persuade her; they only shifted to offering their best help after trying and realizing they couldn't change her mind.
Harumi Junko doesn't think the Academy did anything wrong. Given the confirmed premise, this kind of help is the only thing they can do.
Kirisu Mafuyu left. In the end, she didn't argue back, her eyes just showing reluctance, and she didn't have much of a reaction, not even looking angry at all.
From Kirisu Mafuyu's perspective, the outcome of this discussion between a Teacher and the Academy was undoubtedly a failure.
But from the Academy's standpoint, Kirisu Mafuyu still held her ground.
Only now, after realizing the Aomine Cram School's position, did Kirisu Mafuyu have nothing to say.
However, being debated into powerlessness by a student was also a setback she had never experienced before.
After Kirisu Mafuyu left, the Academy was not completely calm yet. Harumi Junko, as if having gone through a great battle, lay on the table and said to Aki Tomoya apologetically, "Thank you, Aki-kun."
Harumi Junko hadn't expected Aki Tomoya to come out and save the situation.
But thanks to that, the trouble was smoothly resolved, and their Academy didn't make any concessions.
"Everyone asked me to, I couldn't help it..." Aki Tomoya replied indifferently, then turned his head to look outside, "But then again, how likely is it that Furuhashi Fumino will get into the Astronomy Department?"
That's an uncertain question.
It's not absolutely hopeless, but it's not very optimistic either.
"Let's do our best. Actually, it would be quite good if that Teacher could persuade Furuhashi Fumino, but our Academy can't give up on Furuhashi Fumino, can we?"
Harumi Junko said somewhat wearily.
Meanwhile, the other Mr. Ping Tian, who was still outside, didn't know when he would return.
