I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Places called schools can actually have all sorts of problems.

You also need to determine the perspective, which character will be used as the first-person perspective to tell the story, as different people will have different perspectives, and then how to tell the story.

Sayaka Kudo discovered that this was a huge project.

So much so that when she later mentioned to her editor that she wanted to write such a story, and the editor asked her if she was ready, she could only say that she was about halfway there.

Although the editor gave me some advice, it still has potential.

After the subject matter of the new book was decided, Sayaka Kudo immediately became busy.

"I've created a difficult problem for myself!"

After Sayaka Kudo officially started writing, she felt that she had set herself another challenging goal.

Bring the pressure to the maximum!

……

Sayaka Kudo is creating her new work, and occasionally you can hear her complaining about needing to recharge.

She complained that writing a book is an output project; you can only write as much as you have in your head.

In contrast to Sayaka Kudo, who was struggling with various issues regarding her new work, the third-year student at Keio University was writing with a constant flow of inspiration and ease.

I reckon their new book will be almost ready by now.

This was something that Kato Megumi mentioned to him casually during a conversation.

Speaking of that senior's new book, Aki Tomo couldn't help but wonder what the title of that book would be.

However, he also had some time to be curious about this matter.

Busy with studies, busy with part-time jobs, busy with the pathology classroom.

In addition, there will be an exchange meeting with Shunda in May.

The exchange meeting was scheduled for mid-month, and the department was already making final preparations.

As the start date of the exchange meeting approached, the atmosphere became slightly different.

In Aki Tomoya's words, "After all, the other party is Jundai, the number one private medical university!"

Juntendo University School of Medicine is ranked number one among private medical universities, and its tuition is the lowest among private medical universities. Its affiliated hospital is also ranked number one.

He was once a candidate for Aki Tomoya.

Sundae University is undoubtedly a good school, but in terms of overall university influence, it is not as good as Dongdae University.

There's nothing that can be done about it. In all of Japan, the University of Tokyo is in a league of its own. Among all medical schools, the University of Tokyo is the most difficult to get into.

"An Yi, did you apply to Shunda University before?"

With the exchange meeting with Shunda University just around the corner, people often mention Shunda University when they chat in their spare time.

After Aki Tomoya talked about how he applied to Jundai University but didn't go, and instead went to the University of Tokyo, Takagi expressed great interest.

"Is it strange? It's so hard to get into the third science department of Tokyo University. I definitely couldn't have stuck to it back then. I not only applied to Jungkook University, but also to Keio University's medical school. To be honest, it was a close call. When the results were released, my name was one of the very last few. I almost failed!"

Speaking of his experience taking the science exam, Aki Tomoya still feels a bit scared.

There were only 97 places available, and he was ranked near the bottom. Of course, he has since improved. While he may not be at the top, his performance is now consistently in the upper-middle range.

"Did you choose the University of Tokyo when you filled out your college application?"

At this moment, Aki Tomoya asked Takagi a question in return.

The latter thought for a moment, then replied dismissively, "I never thought I wouldn't pass the exam."

Takagi secretly ran away to Tokyo to take the entrance exam without telling his family. He was supposed to take the exam for Kyoto University, but he went against his father's wishes and came to Tokyo.

As for whether I will fail the exam?

No, Takagi never even considered the possibility of failing the exam.

As it turned out, when the results were released, their name was indeed at the top of the list.

"You're inexplicably infuriating!"

Aki Tomoya glared at Takagi with displeasure.

I really want to punch him!

I almost forgot, Takagi is the best of the best.

Majima was no exception; only Aki Tomoya "barely" got into the third science class, and then later surpassed him.

"I also applied to Shunda University, but I wasn't assigned to the same exam room as An Yi-kun, what a pity!"

Majima also considered a backup option: if he couldn't get into the University of Tokyo, he could still go to Jundai University.

As for Keio University, with Tokyo University and Jun University already established, it's not even on their radar.

"So, you two were both people who almost went to Shunda University in tears?"

Takagi had a teasing look on his face.

His words are incredibly disrespectful of Shunda University, which is, after all, the best private medical university!

Getting into the university is already a great achievement. Would you think it would be a waste to go there?

Takagi unsurprisingly received eye rolls from Aki Tomoya and Majima.

"Since you two have such a connection with Shunda University, you should have mentioned it during the last social gathering!"

When it comes to the last social gathering, Takagi is about to launch into a long, rambling monologue.

Aki Tomoya and Majima immediately covered their ears, not wanting to listen to this guy's nonsense at all.

The former had no interest in social gatherings, while the latter already had a girlfriend and was reluctant to discuss such topics.

"It's a good thing you two didn't go to Sundae University. If you had, I would have been all alone at Dongdae University!"

Takagi seemed to realize that the two were not interested in the topic, so he immediately changed the subject.

He was quite fortunate to have met two compatible people in Tokyo.

If those two go to Shunda, he'll be at a huge loss.

"Hey, you two, don't ignore me, hey!"

However, Aki Tomoya and Mashima didn't buy it at all at this point.

Takagi could only stare with a dark expression at the two who ignored him.

He immediately experienced what it meant to offer a warm welcome only to be met with indifference.

He was flipping through a book and scrolling through his phone, completely ignoring Takagi.

"Hey, what's this? A live-streamed murder?"

Suddenly, Majima exclaimed in surprise.

Aki Tomoya and Takagi's attention were simultaneously drawn to him.

The two leaned closer and saw that Majima's phone was playing a live video.

"This isn't a prank, is it?!"

Takagi squeezed through and stared in astonishment at the corpse lying behind the room of a uniformed boy whose face had been altered during the live stream.

What kind of weird live stream is this?

Chapter 332 Bruises

It's truly eye-opening to see such live streaming being possible online.

At first, Aki Tomoya thought it was a prank, but when he saw the corpse in the video, he was instantly shocked.

Meanwhile, the person broadcasting the live stream, referred to as Dr. M, is co-broadcasting this live stream with someone.

"is this real?"

"It's probably not a prank. If it were, it would be incredibly realistic."

Takagi rubbed his eyes wide, still watching the live stream with some disbelief.

Somewhere in Tokyo, someone is displaying the full view of a corpse to tens of thousands of people.

"There were three subcutaneous hemorrhages and three stab wounds on the back that matched the location. Judging from the location, the liver was ruptured and the bleeding was severe. An artery was also punctured, leading to death from massive hemorrhage."

Aki Tomoya watched as the boy used a blood-stained knife to slowly cut open the body's clothes, revealing the front and back to the camera.

Lividity had formed on the back, along with other marks, and the blood had congealed.

"The bruises on this person's body are excessive, as if he has been frequently beaten."

Majima, standing nearby, was focused on the marks on the body that appeared to have been beaten.

"...It doesn't look like it was left from resisting a stabbing. Judging from the lividity and bruises, the latter is obviously from some time ago."

While listening to the boy who had given the hint in the video reciting it, Aki Tomoya discussed it with Majima.

The fact that the boy in the picture, and the body behind him, are wearing the same uniform suggests that they attended the same school.
