Riju Ogata's eyes widened even more, as if a whole new universe was slowly opening up before her.
"Secondly, write some complex content. After all, humanities papers rely on the teacher's understanding. If you write a lot of things that are difficult to understand and make the teacher unable to comprehend them, it will be harder to give you a grade."
Hayakawa couldn't help but chuckle as he said this: "After all, you're quite famous at school, and the examiners all know you. They might think it's genius thinking and wouldn't dare give you a random score."
"That's it, I understand!"
Ogata Riju nodded repeatedly and wrote it down carefully: "[When I don't know how to answer reading comprehension questions, I write a lot of things that make the graders feel impressed but not clear.] I've learned another trick today."
"that is it."
Hayakawa nodded, but then vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Okay, you've learned it. Now I'll find you a reading comprehension question. Answer it the way I tell you, and I'll see how you do."
"Ok!"
Rizu Ogata, having mastered the new technique, appeared confident and quickly flipped to a page of reading comprehension exercises to begin reading.
She quickly finished reading, and Hayakawa read along beside her, so that it would be easier for her to grade the questions later.
"Let's go with this one."
Hayakawa glanced at the reading comprehension questions and pointed to one of them, which was a question that was more suitable for Ogata Rizu's level of difficulty.
"Um…"
Riju Ogata responded, then stared at the question for a long time before taking a deep breath and starting to write.
Hayakawa politely avoided Ogata and didn't keep staring at her. After all, it would put pressure on students if the teacher was watching them while they were answering questions. So when Ogata was answering questions at the Furuhashi, Hayakawa would usually stay far away and do her own thing to avoid affecting their performance.
After writing at her seat for a long time, Ogata Rizu finally handed the answer to Hayakawa with a serious expression: "It's done."
Seeing how serious she looked, Hayakawa couldn't help but become serious himself. He reached out and took the test booklet, then looked up at it, and his face froze.
The once clean and blank answer space was now filled with rows and rows of densely packed formulas and all sorts of inexplicable mathematical symbols, which were so impressive that they were hard to understand at first glance. Even Hayakawa's brain was momentarily dizzy.
“Um… Ogata-kun.”
After staring at the answer for a long time, Ogata Riju finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and tentatively asked, "What is this?"
"The Nass-Stokes equations are mathematical formulas, but they are extremely complex. A proper written version would take many pages; I've only written a small part of it."
Rizu Ogata's face lit up with pride as she gave Hayakawa a thumbs-up: "How about that? Isn't mine pretty impressive enough? I guarantee that none of the science teachers at our school would understand it or dare to grade it!"
"..."
So that's the reason.
"Is this still not good? Is it because it's not written completely?"
Seeing that Hayakawa's expression seemed different from what she had expected, Ogata Rizu tilted her head and said, "Then can you give me some time? I can write it all down, but I'll need a few large sheets of draft paper."
"..."
"That's a good answer."
Hayakawa glanced expressionlessly at the smug-looking science student and handed the test back to her: "Don't answer these questions again."
Ogata Rizu: "???"
"Ugh…"
Seeing the bewildered look on Ogata's face, Hayakawa sighed deeply.
I didn't want to put pressure on you, so I answered the questions in secret and let you do your best. I didn't expect you to do so well when you were free to do your best... It seems I should keep a close eye on you next time.
Hayakawa took a quick breath: As expected, there are no shortcuts to learning. The only way is to climb up step by step, step by step. Trying to find loopholes will only bring retribution.
Hayakawa no longer wanted to explain to Ogata Riju that science teachers might hesitate to grade her formulas because they didn't understand them, but humanities teachers could simply give her zero points even if they didn't understand them.
He had already been repeatedly thwarted by Ogata's common sense and had grown accustomed to it.
"Hayakawa..."
Looking at Hayakawa's disappointed expression, Ogata Rizu couldn't help but pout and whisper aggrievedly, "Am I really that stupid? So stupid that you can't believe it?"
"Yes."
Hayakawa nodded honestly, then thought for a moment and said to Ogata, "How about I pay for some walnuts to help your brain?"
"Well…"
Ogata Rizu silently reached out and covered the big bear, feeling as if an arrow had pierced her heart. She also heard a slight noise coming from the bedroom door, as if there was a suppressed sound of teeth grinding in anger.
Hayakawa glanced at Ogata Riju, whose little face was full of grievance, and felt no pity. "I'm the one who should feel wronged," he thought.
"Ignore the techniques I just mentioned, and let's put this question aside for now," Hayakawa said, adjusting his mood. "Let's start the rest of our study. Show me anything else you don't understand."
"Okay...ok."
Rizu Ogata rubbed her face, then took out her other notebooks: "And here..."
"Ah, I've done this problem before, you need to..."
……
Study time passed quickly, and a few hours disappeared in the blink of an eye. At this time, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, and the city lights were replaced by neon lights. Under the dim lights, Hayakawa leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples to rest.
The eerie, prying gaze at the doorway had disappeared long ago; it seemed that Ogata's father had finally left.
Hayakawa was truly impressed. He actually managed to stand at the door and observe for several hours before leaving. What perseverance and stamina! Is this the kind of man who can become the manager of an udon noodle shop? It's simply terrifying.
Moreover, Hayakawa remembered that when he and Ogata came up, it was exactly noon, which was the busiest and most busy time for business. As a restaurant owner, how could he abandon his business during this time and focus on spying on his daughter's studies? He even stood at the door for many hours, his eyes never leaving her the whole time.
To be this obsessed with one's daughter... even a typical stalker wouldn't go to this extent...
Chapter 555 Science Monster
It's really terrible.
"Ugh…"
Hayakawa sighed. Luckily, he had strong observation skills and noticed this person from the beginning. If he had done something like touching Ogata Riju's head when he wasn't allowed to teach, a rolling pin would probably have flown in from outside the door, and he would have been taken away as a pervert and sent to drink the uncle's tea.
Ogata is already seventeen years old; it's about time she got some independent space. She herself left home to study on her own as soon as she started high school.
Hayakawa took a sip of the barley tea that Ogata Riju had prepared for him, and the steaming tea made his eyes mist over.
"How are you feeling? A little warmer now?"
Riju Ogata sat down next to him and said with concern, "I've always felt that my room is a bit cold, so I often make tea in the room."
Compared to the warm and cozy atmosphere inside the store, the bedroom does feel a bit cold.
"Drinking more tea regularly is good."
Hayakawa put down his teacup and calmly asked, "Is there anything else that I don't understand?"
"Ah."
Rizu Ogata glanced down at her textbook and said hesitantly, "It seems like there aren't any more."
"Is that so?"
Hayakawa glanced at Owyu Yi Qi Ba Ba Ling Qi Ying and saw that it was getting late, so he nodded and prepared to get up: "Then I'll go back."
"Wait."
Ogata Rizu suddenly pressed down on the table, using her forward lean to stop Hayakawa from getting up, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"What are you going to do?"
Hayakawa looked at her, puzzled.
"Well…"
Ogata Riju hesitated for a long time with her face upturned before taking out a metal box board game from under the table, her eyes shining as she looked at Hayakawa.
Hayakawa's face immediately darkened. "Good, good, so this is where they were waiting for me."
Ogata Rizu has always loved playing board games, but she's terrible at them and almost never wins. Hayakawa, on the other hand, hates playing games the most. However, to accommodate and encourage Ogata, Hayakawa would occasionally play a game with her after they finished studying. Unexpectedly, she took it to heart and would secretly look at Hayakawa almost every time they finished studying, hoping he would take the initiative to speak.
Hayakawa was naturally unwilling, and although she often ignored Ogata's gaze, Ogata was in a state of "unsatisfied desire" for a long time.
However, Hayakawa couldn't escape this time, because Ogata Riju had hidden him in the bedroom.
"……Ugh."
Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Then let's do it."
"OK, all right."
Ogata Rizu's face showed a hint of a smile for a moment, but she quickly composed herself and became serious. She pushed up her glasses and adopted a solemn expression as if she had accepted a challenge: "Play a few more rounds."
"..."
Can I go home now?
……
after an hour.
"Maybe we should stop playing."
Hayakawa glanced at Ogata Riju, whose face and neck were flushed red, put down the cards in his hand, and tentatively said, "We've been playing for a long time now."
Hayakawa's board game skills are actually quite ordinary, just average. But even putting aside other players, he easily beats Ogata Riju, who is a board game idiot, without any pressure. So today's board game result was also without a doubt, ending with Hayakawa winning completely.
"Keep playing."
Rizu Ogata's face darkened, and she gripped the last card in her hand as a chip: "One more round."
They must have been desperate to win.
Hayakawa said helplessly, "Let's try again then."
five minutes later.
"I won again."
Hayakawa put down the cards in his hand, his face expressionless, showing no trace of smugness.
Playing board games with Rizu Ogata is like bullying a kindergarten child; no matter how many times you win, you feel no sense of accomplishment.
"Well…"
As if struck by an arrow, Ogata Rizu slumped onto the wooden table in the bedroom, her eyes vacant, and murmured, "Why…?"
"give up."
Hayakawa, unusually, felt a pang of pity for Ogata Rizu. He patted her head and advised, "You have no talent for board games, and continuing won't lead to anything."
"No."
Rizu Ogata resolutely refused, clutching her chest and declaring, "What's the point of my life if I can't achieve something in the game industry?"
The soul-stirring sound echoed in Hayakawa's ears, gradually silencing her.
Does life become meaningless just because you can't understand board games?
"Uh…"
Looking at the girl's resolute and determined demeanor today, Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before choosing to say in a different way: "Then keep trying until one day you can complete your training and defeat me, but you are far from good enough now."
"Ok!"
Ogata was immediately ignited with fighting spirit: "I will beat you one day."
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's expression shifted, and he seemed somewhat dazed.
I never imagined that one day I would hear something like "you have to beat me" from Rizu Ogata. Even though it wasn't about studying but just a silly game, it still made me feel a bit emotional.
Thinking about this, Hayakawa suddenly remembered that he had gotten a perfect score in math for the first time in the final exam a while ago, which could be considered as the first time he had caught up with Ogata Rizu.
Can't we show this off a little?
Hayakawa couldn't help but feel a little restless at this thought. He had no desire to show off his achievements to others, but it was completely different with Ogata Rizu. Hayakawa had been suppressed by her for far too long. Now that he had finally turned the tables, how could he suppress his indomitable spirit?
However, in the end, Hayakawa chose to hold back and did not "inadvertently" reveal his perfect math test paper.
It wasn't that he didn't care about empty fame, but rather that his subtle achievements were nothing compared to Riju Ogata, who, unsurprisingly, also got perfect scores in all subjects this time.
If I were to reveal my grades myself…
Fantasy Time:
"Ahem, speaking of which, I did quite well on this math exam, I got a perfect score."
Osamu nodded expressionlessly: "Oh, compared to that, the board game later..."
