23 A Flawed Genius

　　There's no doubt that Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu are geniuses.

　　One of them was the so-called [Sleeping Beauty of the Literary Forest], a literary girl unrivaled in the field of liberal arts.

One of them is the so-called [Clockwork Thumbelina], the queen of science who is hard to imitate in science, and can even see the calculation solution at a glance.

　　They are like works of art created by God at will, reaching extremes in certain aspects, but left with corresponding defects, which just so happens to prove the adage that no one is perfect.

　　No matter how good the subjects they are good at, the ones they are not good at are just as bad.

　　No matter how hard they try, merrma can't improve, but those sophomore high school are only on the level of sophomore middle school, or even lower. It can be said that it is a waste material that is the opposite of genius.

　　However, they have dreams that go against their means.

　　If they stuck to this path, they would no longer be the talented children that everyone admired, but stupid cows and donkeys that were difficult to tame.

　　Shinichi used too many words, because the scene where the two of them were shouting monsters at each other was really complicated and he didn't know what to say.

　　"I always want to ask, why can Ogata solve problems without using formulas?"

　　"I also want to ask Furuhashi, how can you see what this person is thinking at a glance?"

　　The two were silent for a moment, and answered each other at the same time.

　　"I just know, there is no reason!"

　　Shinichi raised his eyebrows.

　　This idea is really genius.

　　Know but don't know why, like cheating to get an answer with intuition, sensitivity to words or numbers like being blessed by God, without relying on process, they can easily solve problems that have troubled others for a long time.

　　If the brains of these two people fused to create a genius with arts and sciences, continuously perfecting it in academia, perhaps the world would have another great person with extraordinary talent?

　　Even if they don't merge, if they study hard in their respective fields, over time, both of them will definitely be able to make many achievements, it's not even impossible to advance the pace of human development.

　　But they did the opposite, resolutely leaving a clear future behind, turning around and running towards their dreams.

　　This is the world's loss.

　　It was no wonder that Mafuyu had gone against the goals of these two people to such an extent. Not only wasting talent, but as a teacher, she had been one of the accomplices in the world's loss of talent. The feeling of helplessness and panic must have been very uncomfortable.

　　The glorious path is clear in front of you, and you can drive your sports car to the finish line at any time, so why crawl on a dark and obscure road?

　　Incomprehensible and must be corrected.

　　Comparing the test papers of the two, having truly experienced that feeling, Shinichi felt even more guilty for what happened that morning.

　　He had to find time to apologize to Mafuyu, what he said back then was so preposterous!

　　"That..."

　　Seeing Shinichi pinching the exam papers in annoyance and sighing, Furuhashi and Ogata felt a little uneasy.

　　"How? What will you do next?"

　　Ogata clenched her fists, her little face was expressionless, but her expression was very energetic: "I am ready to start reviewing from the second grade junior high school course!"

　　"Although my pride hurts to say that, but so do I..." Furuhashi scratched her cheek in embarrassment, but her eyes were also filled with determination, "It's a big deal to dig up all the previous test questions and do it again! Before the university exams, there is still one year, time should be enough…"

　　"No, we don't have enough time." Shaking his head, Shinichi put away the test papers, looked into their suspicious eyes, and asked, "Let me first ask, what is your purpose in studying?"

　　Ogata replied: "I was accepted to a liberal arts university and studied in the Department of Psychology."

　　Furuhashi replied: "I will be accepted into the University of Science and study in the Department of Astronomy."

　　Shinichi raised his eyebrows, and didn't ask why, but raised a finger and continued: "This is a long-term goal, and this can also be said to be a dream. Then let me ask again, what is our goal now?"

　　After thinking for a while, the two suddenly realized, and they answered together: "Pass the test after a week and let Kirisu sensei agree with us!"

　　"Right, that's it!" Shinichi nodded, and his words made them even more nervous, "So, our time is still far from enough. And what I want to do is improve the academic ability of both of you enough to pass the exams in just one week."

　　He slowly raised the corner of his mouth and looked at them coldly: "Be mentally prepared… I will make very strict demands on you, and letting you experience what education means will make you feel afraid of learning more than Kirisu sensei."

　　Furuhashi suddenly said: "Then are you going to refute our ideals?"

　　Shinichi was silent.

　　Even though he subconsciously wanted to look away, he still forcefully thrust his head in front of him, as if forcing himself to face the bright eyes full of conviction, take a deep breath, and answer word by word.

　　"If I denied it, I would not have brought you here!"

　　Furuhashi smiled sweetly, clasped her hands together: "Then it's fine~"

　　"That's right, you are our 'educator'. No matter how hard and difficult studies are, we will endure it." Ogata nodded calmly and firmly, her voice indifferent but with an indomitable determination to go forward, "Just come and destroy us, whatever you want to do, as long as you can increase our grades, it doesn't matter."

　　"Wait," Furuhashi's smile was forced: "There's still a bit of a problem with that..."

　　"Hahaha, great! I see, it seems I have a good pair of students." Shinichi couldn't help but smile happily, but at least he resisted the urge to touch Ogata's head, and started to set the task. "Since you two have clear goals, I won't tell you where to start to understand mathematics and literature, nor will I tell you to analyze them with your own talents. There's only one thing we have to do... It's to become familiar with the topic, so familiar that when you two see an apple, you can both think of an article, and when you see a book, you both want to calculate its length, width, height and weight!"

　　The two nodded vigorously: "No problem! Even though it sounds difficult, we will work hard!"

　　"Then now..." Shinichi said in a long voice, under their expectant and nervous looks, with a slightly evil smile, "Let's do our homework first!"

　　"..."

　　"Don't be disappointed, homework is very important, especially homework completed by someone teaching, it will be of great help to deepen your impressions."

　　Shinichi hesitated for a moment, and finally forced himself to fix his expression, got up and walked away pretending nothing happened: "For the sake of convenience of guidance, let me sit between you two, why not say it in person, and observe how you do your homework."

　　Even though they didn't mind, and didn't even have embarrassed and reluctant expressions on their faces, Shinichi was still very uncomfortable. Only by ignoring the surrounding scent and temperature could he suppress the embarrassment that was rising.

　　For him who had never had close contact with girls since he was a child, the excitement of sitting between two beauties left him deeply shaken.
