The male protagonist is Asano Xuexiu!

Chapter 24 Awards Ceremony

Five p.m.Contestants from various schools came to the awards hall one after another.The scene was very noisy. Dense crowds flowed in the hall. Looking from a distance, dark heads of people were densely packed next to each other. The entire hall was a sea of ​​heads.

Even if the building area is very large, it seems cramped and narrow among the huge crowd.

I entered the arena with the large team from Kunqiu Middle School.Each school has a fixed position and sits together in turn.For example, Kunqiu Middle School, which is my middle school, won the championship last year and also enjoyed the honor of being able to sit in the second row.

I found a seat in the middle so that I could have a better view of the podium.This so-called podium, although it is a podium, is ridiculously big.

The young host is wearing an orthodox suit, holding a speech in his hand, and standing upright.He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and although he was young, he looked not to be underestimated.I later found out that this young and immature host was the champion of JMC in the university group five years ago, the runner-up of IMO the year before last, and an associate professor at Kyoto University, even though he is only 27 years old.

JMC's test questions announce the awards and results on the same day. Candidates enter the venue at 05:30, and all the math results are announced at six o'clock. There is one first prize, three second prizes, and five third prizes. In addition, there are five special awards to encourage those players who have performed well on a certain question.The person with the best grades has a reward other than the first prize, and the additional reward is the privilege of "their school can directly enter the final without participating in the rematch next year".

Asano Xuexiu, as the best player last year, won the honor for Kuigaoka Middle School, which is why Kuigaoka Middle School can directly enter the final final of this year.

I lay on the chair restlessly, and looked at Asano Xuexiu who was sitting next to me from time to time.

His complexion was the same, as usual, his eyes were fixed on the podium.

I don't know what he's thinking.

Akiko Ikeda, who was sitting on the other side of me, kept muttering, "Asano Xuehide must be number one" "Asano Xuehide must be number one!" nonsense.

I can't laugh or cry.

The scene was still very noisy, and there was a lot of movement, which was mostly reflected in the girls' chatting and gossip.In my left ear, I heard a girl say "Ah, ah, so and so in our school is so handsome", and in my right ear, I heard "Ah, ah, so and so in our school is so awesome".

I can only be bored, watching the preparations being made for the opening at six o'clock on the stage.

There is still half an hour.

Asano Xuexiu was reading the book at this time, I didn't know the title of the book, because he held the spine of the book with his hands, and could only look down at the black letters on the book from top to bottom.I had no interest in getting close to him, but because of the book, I quietly moved my head to his side, lowered my head and looked at the words on the top of the book.

This is an original French work, and I know French, so naturally I know the meaning of it.

Unjour, j'étais géedéjà, dansle halld'unlie public, unhommeest venuversmoi. …

This is the first sentence at the beginning of the full text, and the world-famous "Lover" reveals its incomparable beauty from the first sentence.

This is a book that I have always loved very much. I read it before time travelling, three years ago, and I have also read it in countless days recently.

"Do you like this book?" Out of curiosity and excitement, I asked Xuexiu Asano.

At this moment, he turned his head and looked at me with fixed eyes.

"I watched it because someone liked it," he said.

"Oh?" My eyes widened in surprise, "Really? I didn't expect you to be so humanistic!"

He smiled, a little meaningfully: "Maybe."

At [-]:[-], the awards ceremony is finally about to begin.The host has already stepped onto the stage, and is testing the microphone with a microphone.

The contestants from our Kunqiu Middle School sat in the second row, and we could clearly see that some staff members had quickly sent the list of winners to the host.Because of this move, almost everyone present focused on the theme of "who is this year's winner".

The discussion in the venue was endless.

"Who will be the first prize this year!? This year's test paper is so difficult, I'm really curious which master can get such an honor~"

"Sigh... I guess I still don't have a full score. Orz, this has become a feature of JMC. I just hope that my grades this year won't be too bad. I don't have any hope of winning an award..."

"Maybe it's one of Asano Xuexiu and Matsumoto Mirai, the other levels are far behind them."

"I'm hoping for a big upset! How cool!"

"==I still hope that my goddess Matsumoto will win in the future!"

"orz, I want to win the prize too!"

Not only the players, but also the professors sitting in the first row, various principals and even politicians were discussing.

The JMC champion is still the favorite.It is precisely because of its great difficulty that everyone is looking forward to the birth of a genius beyond ordinary people.I heard two teachers from different schools sitting in front of me discuss the championship with red faces. One of them insisted on Mirai Matsumoto, the other insisted on Asano Gakuhide, and the excitement was even more intense.

"This year I guess it's Mirai Matsumoto!"

"Don't dream! You still recommended her last year! Didn't Asano Gakushuu from Kuigaoka win the championship later on!"

"Bah, it's different this year!"

As the so-called examination room is like a battlefield, the smell of gunpowder is not much worse than the battlefield...

I really want to kneel orz to the two respected math teachers in front of me...how can I be so childish.

As the protagonist of the topic, Asano Xuexiu looked calm, as if he had seen enough of the big scenes, sitting solemnly and reading the book in his hand, the disturbance and impetuousness around him could not affect him in the slightest.

As for me, I curled my lips and looked around, and I happened to see a familiar person in the rightmost position in the first row.

This familiar person is the female invigilator this morning.She looks very good tonight, she is wearing a professional suit, with light makeup on her face, and she is also looking in my direction at the moment.While looking at me, she joked and laughed at the teacher next to her.

Although I don't know why she cares about me so much...

But it shouldn't be a bad thing.

The awards ceremony was finally about to officially begin. The host stood on the stage in high spirits, and took a microphone to give a general introduction to the rules of the competition and the awarding method.

"Today is JMC's annual competition again. JMC has been held at the University of Tokyo for ten times. It is really gratifying. This year's high-profile competition can be carried out so smoothly. I really want to thank you all Cooperation and hard work."

Everyone clapped their hands tacitly.

The host continued: "After a hard day's exam, I believe everyone will look forward to the results of this time. Let's make a long story short—I think everyone already knows that the results of this JMC competition have arrived at me. The resulting first prize, second prize and third prize will be announced later. This year's test questions are very difficult, and the competition is also very fierce, but although everyone is looking forward to it, I still have to announce this year's prize first. special award."

He stepped off the stage and laughed.

The host heated up the atmosphere of the venue with ease, and then announced the winners of the special awards one by one.

"Aihara Rina."

"A photo of Garner."

"Naoki Uemura."

"Aso sand tree."

"Also, Mai Kawakami!"

The audience applauded.

Mai Kawakami, who was sitting next to me, stood up from her seat, went down the steps with a smile, and stood on the podium.

Ikeda Akiko was a little upset. She took my hand and complained in my ear: "Mai Kawakami won the prize this time. I'm not happy orz..."

Although I don't like Mai Kawakami very much, her achievements are all due to her hard work, so I didn't cater to Akiko Ikeda's complaints at all, but said: "I still wish her well."

Ikeda Akiko had no choice but to look awkward and sit a little more politely.

The list of special awards was announced, and the mathematics professor of Dongda University kindly awarded trophies and certificates to each contestant. There was another burst of applause from the audience, and then the five people bowed on the stage and left.

Mai Kawakami returned with a beaming face.

The host began to announce the list of contestants for the third prize. Although the third prize was much better than the special prize, the gold content was not high after all, and there was still no climax in the whole venue.

The list of the third prizes was announced soon. None of the five names belonged to Kunqiu Middle School, and the five contestants left after receiving the prize on stage.

But it's time for the second prize to be announced——

Starting from the second prize, the attention has been high.

I'm afraid it was precisely because of this that the smart host deliberately slowed down the pace.

"The winners of the second prize this year surprised me..." The host paused and said, "I always thought that some of them could win the first prize."

As soon as the host's words came out, the entire venue fell silent.

Some of them can get the first prize...

Does it mean that neither of them won the first prize?

The words are really wonderful, the host just used a little bit of word games to make everyone panic.Especially the professors sitting in the first row seemed puzzled.The two teachers sitting in front of me were still arguing. As soon as the host said something, the two heads immediately got together and discussed in whispers.

"He's really good at keeping things secret." Someone said.

"I guess the first prize is Mirai Matsumoto. It's her!"

"I have a different point of view this time. Could it be that both of them are just second prizes?"

Hearing such a bold guess, the other teacher was silent for a while, and said dryly: "Impossible... I personally don't think there will be anyone who is more powerful than them."

At this time, the host finally spoke word by word.

"First of all, let's announce one of them. Mirai Matsumoto, from Rikkai University and Junior High School, scored 120 out of 110 points."

Hearing this sentence, it seemed that the whole venue had a result.At that time, I am afraid that everyone was thinking about that seemingly correct guess.

——"Since Matsumoto Mirai is the second prize, then the first prize must belong to Asano Gakushuu."

This seems to be a strange circle, a subconscious guess. ——"Besides Matsumoto Mirai, who else can win the first prize, it can only be Asano Xuehide."

It seems that the overall situation is settled.

The venue was frenzied.

A lot of people have already started shouting "Asano Gakushu!" "Asano Gakushu!" "Asano Gakushu!" "Asano Gakushu!" "Asano Gakushu!"

"Asano Xuehide wins!" "Asano Xuehide wins!" "Asano Xuehide wins!" "Asano Xuehide wins!"

At this time, the so-called focal point was next to me. He had put down the book and was sitting on a chair looking at me who was waiting for the awards platform to announce the list.

Asano Gakushuu didn't pay attention to everyone, he just looked at me.

"Know the truth," he said.I was in a trance for a while, it seemed that this was the first time he took the initiative to call my name.

He spoke very lightly and indifferently.The voice is magnetic, calling my name softly and hoarsely, which is very pleasant.But it didn't match the atmosphere of the whole audience - the heat and noise filled the whole building, as if the ceiling was going to be removed.

"Well, I'm listening." I turned to look at him.

"Make a bet with me."

"What?" I was surprised.

"Make a bet with me. If you lose to me in this final exam, you will grant one of my wishes."

"Huh?" I opened my eyes wide, expressing that I couldn't keep up with his thinking.

Now it's JMC, now it's JMC's game! ! !

"It's JMC's game now." I'm dissatisfied.

"Then if you beat me this time, I can grant one of your wishes. Anything you want I can fulfill." He said.

At this moment, the host has brought the awards ceremony to the climax.He looked at the speech and said it word by word with a smile.

"Another second prize winner, Asano Xuehide, scored 120 out of 116 in the exam."

Time stands still.

……

Asano Gakushuu lost, he lost to me.When the result was announced, he lost.

I just win.

I stared blankly at the disappointed expression shown by the disappointed shouts from the crowd, and at the still calm expression on Asano Gakushuu's delicate and beautiful face.These two distinct demeanors made a deep impression on me.

He lost, and he showed no expression.

When he heard the news, he just looked at me seriously, sincerely and sincerely.

He is waiting for my reply.

The author has something to say: The heroine of the next chapter really became famous in the first battle...

Truth is in a bad mood. She participated in JMC just to win Asano Xuexiu, but Asano Xuexiu did not give her any sign of admitting defeat, she was very disappointed.

Asano Xuexiu held a copy of "Lover" this time and made an agreement with the heroine on purpose.

Hahahaha he is going to seduce the heroine, and he has started the mode of picking up girls =w=

The author is going to study late, and some chapters need to be revised!Typos need to be corrected!
