Perhaps the Akira of this world had several siblings, and he was the least valued, so he was exiled to Tokyo?
However, judging by the High School Akira was currently attending, the opposite might also be true. Perhaps they sent their child to Tokyo to study because they had high hopes for him.
But due to financial reasons, the family couldn't follow, so they could only let the child venture out alone… For an ordinary family, this would likely be the case.
Until he could actually confirm it, Akira couldn't know where his hometown was or what his parents' situation was.
However, since they could send their child to study in Tokyo, Akira's family shouldn't be particularly struggling.
The High School Akira was currently attending had a Standard deviation of 72, making it one of the top thirty metropolitan High Schools in Tokyo, a true prestigious school.
The High School's name was Hibiya High School, which might remind people of Da Laoshi, but it actually had nothing to do with Da Laoshi. After all, the prototype of Soubu High School, which Da Laoshi attended, Inage High, was in Chiba Prefecture, and Inage High's Standard deviation was also as high as 68… No wonder these students could fully enjoy their youth without worrying much about their studies.
The Standard deviation value can be simply understood as a school's ranking; the higher the value, the more impressive the school, and the higher the average quality of students and teachers.
Akira had seen a movie before that mentioned the minimum Standard deviation to get into Keio University was 70, which only accounted for the top 2% of all test-takers, while a Standard deviation of 30 was the bottom 2%.
In terms of its standard, Keio University is roughly equivalent to Nanjing University, also one of the top ten prestigious universities in Japan.
Just saying the name of this school might not be familiar to many, but if you mention its founder, everyone will have an 'oh~' moment.
That would be the man printed on the highest denomination banknote, the 10,000-yen bill, Fukuzawa Yukichi.
Speaking of which, before Akira's transmigration, it seemed there was talk of changing the man on the 10,000-yen bill to Shibusawa Eiichi, but in this world, there was no such news at all.
Therefore, the school's level further highlighted the value of the class monitor consistently ranking first in her grade.
Consistently holding the top spot in a prestigious High School full of talent, the class monitor was truly a top-tier academic.
So, at the Hibiya High School he was currently attending, Akira hadn't encountered delinquents or seen the exaggerated bullying phenomena specific to Japan. At most, it was just quiet oddballs like Akira being isolated… if that even counted as bullying.
However, this was ultimately Akira's own doing. If he had acted normally, he probably wouldn't have ended up this way and could have lived a normal High School life.
Regarding this, Akira felt a bit sorry for the original Akira.
Presumably, the original Akira must have studied desperately to barely get into this High School, but as a result, his entire High School life was ruined by his own self-introduction.
But Akira felt that he couldn't take all the blame for this.
This situation was also because the original Akira had disappeared somewhere, leaving no memories or soul, only a frail body.
Of course, Akira's situation could also be like a certain chuunibyou who claimed to be a mad scientist, possessing a passive skill called 'Eye of Fate Perception,' where no matter how the worldline changed, Akira's memories would not be modified during reconstruction.
This possibility seemed more likely, after all, his appearance hadn't changed, which meant there should be no significant changes at the DNA level. And like Hououin Kyouma, after transmigrating into a new worldline, he couldn't acquire past memories from the new worldline.
Hmm? Wait a minute, so actually, it wasn't Akira who transmigrated, but the worldline of this world that changed?
A sudden shift to sci-fi?
No, no, no… It's better not to delve into this matter. It's terrifying to think about.
Akira remained silent throughout, though he was actually just thinking. But to Miyako, his words had stirred up Akira's sad past, so her heart immediately felt heavy.
Just as his words had cheered her up, she also wanted to encourage him.
Because we have a lifelong partnership, right?
So, don't be sad anymore…
I will be by your side for the rest of your life.
Thinking this, Miyako slowly closed the distance between them. After gathering her courage, she reached out her left hand and took his right hand.
"Uh…!"
But Akira unceremoniously shook off her hand.
It wasn't that he disliked holding hands with a beautiful girl; it was just that if his right hand was held right now…
Akira quickly checked his right hand.
The "Learning Ability A" he had copied from the class monitor was slowly disappearing.
No, don't!
I'm going to turn back into an idiot!
