Either all candidates should be allowed to participate, or only volunteers from certain departments or majors should be allowed to participate.

Whether the score of the central examination has a greater weight, or the scores of each subject in the self-school examination have a greater weight in the total score, it is all left to the university to decide.

In other words, if you apply to the history department of a certain university, you may not be required to take a mathematics test.

Or in a certain law department, the proportion of mathematics and English is very small, which is especially suitable for students who are not good at certain subjects.

Another method is the individual examination system.

Individual examinations mainly include individual academic ability tests, essay tests and interviews, special selections, etc.

But no matter which one it is, it is essentially exam-oriented education in disguise. If you don’t study, you really can’t get in.

So if you only look at the surface, high school in Sakura Empire is pretty easy.

Arrive at school at 8:30 and finish school at 3:00 in the afternoon. There is no morning reading, no evening self-study, and various interest clubs.

But if children just attend classes according to the routine every day, only a very few can be admitted to the university of their choice.

Therefore, after-school private schools came into being. If you want to go to a private school for further studies, don't even think about joining any clubs, just go back to your home school.

The annual output value of Sakura City's supplementary education industry is nearly 500 billion yen.

If they want to go on to further studies, almost all high school students have to go to private schools.

However, the tuition fees of private schools are not cheap, and the annual tuition fee is easily 600,000 or 700,000 yen.

If it is individual tutoring, the fee is even higher...

This leads to a problem: children from poor families cannot afford to go to private schools and can only "happily" enjoy quality education, and then lose the path to upward mobility.

Children from the middle class and above enjoy exam-oriented education - the idea that children with family assets that differ by fifty times can attend the same class is simply a dream!

The supervisor himself was admitted to university, so he got a fairly good job and is now a small supervisor.

But what if it is from a famous university? What if it is from the University of Tokyo?

His boss's boss is a young man who graduated from the University of Tokyo. He is much younger than him, but his promotion was a triple jump.

Even if such people do not work in their own companies, they will definitely be in the professional group if they work in government agencies.

"She will know later that we are doing this for her own good."

This is what the supervisor said to his wife, with confidence.

But it was obvious that communication with his daughter was not smooth. The father and daughter had a difficult conversation at the beginning, which eventually ended in a bad mood.

The daughter ran upstairs, shouting, "I don't want a dad like you," and crying and wiping her tears.

Obviously, I was the one being bullied! Obviously, it was their fault! Obviously, school is not a place that can make people happy!

But as a father, I only know about future work, future career, and future life...

If such a life requires the present life to be sacrificed, is it really a happy future?

The wife looked on worriedly, while the supervisor rubbed his forehead, too angry to speak.

This kind of atmosphere made it so that he couldn't tell his wife about the cowherd even though he wanted to.

He went to the balcony to smoke, and when he came back he silently picked up the controller and continued playing the game mechanically with a somewhat distracted look in his eyes.

But it is obvious that in these fake worlds, no matter how powerful one is, it is still fake. He is so powerless in the real world.

Covering his forehead, he glanced at the box, took a look, then froze, and looked again.

There should be a handheld game console in the box, where is it?

Looking at the empty slot and the card that had been taken away, the supervisor frowned slightly and looked at the ceiling.

"..."

……

……

"My father has no idea what kind of pain I've been through!"

"It's like this, my dad didn't even know I had graduated from junior high school to high school. He finally said he was going to school to attend a parents' meeting, but when he walked to my junior high school, he almost called the police and said I was kidnapped..."

"How can there be such a person!"

"If I have to say, it's probably because they have more important responsibilities in their lives and their eyes are looking further ahead, so they forget to look at the children at their feet."

"Wow! The top student in the literature club is really amazing. She can speak without hesitation."

"Instead of saying that, why don't you let me guess what good stuff you have to show off."

"No! It's just... um... it's just the one you played before, what was it called A?"

"GBA? That's a game console. Don't you not play games?"

"I don't play it, but since it's the same as yours, I'm a little interested..."

Hanako fiddled with the small square box in her hand, looking a little confused: "The trademark is the same, but mine is a flip-top."

"Flip? That's impossible... Wait! It's actually possible!"

The female voice on the other end of the phone rose a few pitches: "It is said that there will be an upgraded version limited to games! It's a flip phone!"

"Upgraded version?"

"The performance has not been upgraded. It's more like a special game limited edition. But I haven't heard of it being released. Where did you get it?"

“…My father brought it back.”

"Oh my god, did your dad bring back some samples from the company? Is it okay for you to play with it like this?"

Looking at the yellow mouse and red and white ball logo printed on the surface of the box, and then at the words "Not for sale" on the back, she felt that it was okay.

The two chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and said good night to each other.

On the other end of the phone was Hanako's best friend, who was also a minority in the class.

But unlike me, the other party is a minority among the girls, but a celebrity among the boys.

Although she is a girl, she is heroic, good at playing games and basketball, and even many girls like her.

But no one expected that such a handsome girl was actually a literary girl at heart...

Hanako is also a literary girl, so she and Hanako have common topics and they become good friends who can confide in each other.

Being able to become friends with each other and have the same topics to talk about is obviously a double happiness.

However, unexpectedly, such contact aroused dissatisfaction from other girls, which led to siege and finally turned into unreasonable bullying.

It seemed that if the other girls in the class didn't bully her, they would be considered an outlier, and they would put pressure on her even if they had to read the air.

Under such pressure, Hanako chose to escape and hid at home and refusing to go anywhere.

The girl still keeps in touch with her, and occasionally talks about school topics. The two still maintain the habit of communicating their literary interests.

But Hanako knew that this habit could not last long.

Without real contact, both parties will gradually drift apart on their respective life paths and eventually become strangers.

It was a rare opportunity to have a new topic that interested the other person, so Hanako fiddled with the machine in her hand, clumsily turned on the buttons, and started playing according to the game introduction.

She had originally intended to hide her father's things to make him suffer, but this was probably the worst thing she could think of.

But after seeing that it was a gift, she no longer had so many concerns, and...

She picked up the introduction card, turned to the front, and looked at the introduction and the flamboyant signature.

So this is a game published by Alia Oh Kasan?

If that pretty girl is a celebrity in her class or even in her grade, she is the idol of everyone.

Then Alia is the popular idol that people of their age group cannot avoid nowadays, a brilliant person based on reality.

"Anti-bullying or something... I think I have heard of it..."

But before that, let's take a look at what this game is.

It would be great if you could find some new topics to chat with her more!

Please bless me, Alia, oh Kasan——

355-A Strange New Rival

A new day, a new beginning.

To Hanako, this morning seemed particularly - dazzling.

She opened her eyes and saw that the curtains had been drawn.

My own mother was tidying up the room and putting some of her dirty clothes in the hamper.

Hanako rushed over and grabbed some suspicious things, her face flushed in the way that only adolescents do.

"Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

"Your father has asked for leave."

"……Eh?"

"He said he wanted to take you to a place."

Her mother sighed and tied up the curtains, "So get up, Hanako, everyone has to go out today."

"Eh?!!"

……

……

Hanako almost forgot when was the last time she saw her father eating breakfast at home.

But compared to my father, the one who is even weirder is my mother...

There was a strange blush on my mother's face, as if she was refreshed, yet a little subtle.

Under normal circumstances, the mother would be very listless during this period.

Unlike now, I was very energetic, even a little too energetic.

She didn't treat her husband with the kind of cautious serving attitude, but rather acted a bit like she used to flirt with him.

Hanako narrowed her eyes and looked at her parents suspiciously. Something was wrong, absolutely wrong, maybe even nine out of ten points!

Even though they had a fight last night, no matter how rebellious she was, she hadn't yet reached the point of holding a grudge overnight.

Now the most I do is not talk to my dad at the dinner table...

"Hanako."

"..."

"Hanako!"

"..."

"Your father is talking to you, didn't you hear him?"

"Hmm." Hanako snorted and continued picking up food, looking like she heard it but was not going to answer.

"I'm going to take you to see someone today."

Her father thought for a moment and chose his words carefully: "In other words, it's not about taking you there specifically to see her, but there's an opportunity."

Hanako didn't understand - what was all this nonsense?

After her father talked for a while, she finally understood what he meant.

It turned out that there was an internal exhibition today and they were visiting someone else's company.

Then due to some special reasons, some "little guests" are needed to show their support.

It is not easy for a company to hire children to work. There is no other way but to fleece the employees from within and let their families take over.

Hanako rolled her eyes, knowing it wasn't going to be good.

What kind of activities does your company hold that even require children to attend?

Besides, do I look like a child?

“It’s a tour of the game factory.”
