Awakening Chapter 172.1

With the coming of Summer, another thing that made the students happy and worry at the same also approached.

Some students who were usually absent or sleeping in a cla.s.s reversed their lazy performance, seemingly transformed into a good student. Those students will circle around the lecturers after the cla.s.s – which to Takeda, they seemed like an eyesore – hoping to find some information about the exams.

Such obvious flattery behavior was scoffed at by Takeda.

“Look at that guy, he usually looks aloof and ignores everyone around, but now he can’t wait to lick the lecturer’s shoe like a pug.”

Hearing his diatribe, Lei Yin put down his book and looked at him, “I remember your English test result was equally rotten, aren’t you worry about that?”

“Although getting a high test score is unlikely, pa.s.sing the test should be no problem. I will not become like them just to increase my test result by several points. In any case, my old man does not hold out much hope for me, in his eyes, there are only my brother and sister. Do you know why an unmotivated student like me able be admitted into Teikyo University? I can tell you for sure that I pa.s.sed the entrance exams entirely on my own efforts. Do you know why I have so much perseverance?” Takeda’s eyes shone, waiting for Lei Yin to ask the question.

“If you do not want to tell me, I will not force you.” Lei Yin had no intention to satisfy his evil intention.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you will not die by asking a question.”

Takeda’s voice was quite noisy, Amy, who sat right next to Lei Yin, curiously looked over.

Seeing Amy looked over at him, Takeda grinningly smiled. The little girl took a glance at him, and then retracted her head into Lei Yin’s arms. The rebellious youth’s smile immediately stiffened.

After a while, seeing there were no signs that Lei Yin was going to ask him the question, Takeda finally said aloud: “Forget it, I will mercifully tell you. So, when I was a soph.o.m.ore in high school, my older brother told me he cannot tolerate my previous test results and made a bet with me. He came up with a list of several elite Universities and some general Universities along with the prize on top of each University name that I can get if I was able to get admitted to that University. From the j.a.panese car to Buick, BMW, Ford, Lamborghini, and a variety of other models. But the prizes for the Todai and Teikyo Universities was the best, a sports car, but the model and the price were different. I thought that it was unlikely for me to get admitted into Todai University so I went all out to get into Teikyo University. After more than a year of h.e.l.lish effort, I was finally admitted into Teikyo University with my own effort. When you come to my home one day, I will let you sit in my car to go for a ride. You should have seen my car, right? I tell you, it was a 2003 Bristol Blenheim Speedster, front mounted with V8 engine, 5900 cc, and can be accelerated to 90 kph or more in 5 seconds. It also can reach the top speed of 257 kph. There are…”

“How much is it?” Seeing the excited look in his face, Lei Yin felt the need to cus.h.i.+on him

“At the time, the market price is 215.000 US dollars, and it did not drop. This is only natural, when will a Bristol Blenheim Speedster car decline in price? To be honest, the prize for Todai University is more attractive, it is 2001 B-Engineering Edonis, Twin Turbo V12 Engine, 680 HP, accelerate to 100 kph in 3.9 seconds, and a top speed of 360 kph. The price is 600000 US dollars. If you have the opportunity to sit in that car, your life will not be in vain. Unfortunately, Todai University test score was too high, so I had to settle for the second best. Thinking about that year’s death-defying effort, I will still have bad dreams from time to time, dreaming of being surrounded and then buried by a big pile of test review sheets. I really do not know how I can survive through that.” Takeda became more and more excited.

Lei Yin knew he was usually very interested in all kinds of sports cars, but did not think that he could be admitted to Teikyo University for a sports car. With more than 200000 US dollars for the youth’s fighting chance, although he did not dare to say whether the resource was well used, it was definitely expensive. But for an unmotivated youth like Takeda, material rewards was indeed more effective than any spiritual encouragement.

“It seems like your big brother knows a lot about you.”

Takeda suddenly became a bit frustrated, “My big brother is a very competent person, and has long been in the business world. My sister, while still a student, but as you know, she is already a student council officers, and her achievement is also very good. By contrast, I seem like a dropout. So basically I do not have any status at home, whenever the old man sees me, he would satisfy his craving by scolding me.”

Lei Yin began to understand the cause of his rebellious nature. This was a very common family conflict. When a family has an outstanding family member, those other relatively inferior family members will become the object of comparison. For an adult to receive this comparison, he or she will usually better themselves in order not to lose face, so they subconsciously extended this thinking to their children, thinking they would behave the same as them.

But they never thought that, in this kind of atmosphere, the object who was being compared the most will, over time, generated resistance, creating a rebellious character. It was not without reason that so many criminals have a family problem.

“So what, life is a gamble, we will never know the winner or the loser until the last second. What’s the use in performing better in school? Aren’t many of those c.u.m laude graduates also have to bow in front of their pig bosses to wipe their shoes? Wait until you have more money than your brother and you can point at your old man’s nose and curse, ‘You this dead old man, always says I am useless, see how well I am now?’”

After listening to Lei Yin’s words, Takeda slapped the table and laughed out loud. This loud noise caused the other students in the cla.s.sroom to glower at him, but they still did not dare to make any noise.

Slightly after he stopped smiling, Takeda patted his friend’s shoulder and said, “Now I know why I am so fond of you. Because you are not a good man, just like me.”

“Truly harming others without benefiting oneself conclusion. I have no time to talk with a crazy, I go first.” With that, Lei Yin stood up and pulled Amy’s little hand to walk out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Hey, where are you going?” The rebellious youth soon put his things into his bag and followed behind him.

“I am going to accompany Amy to buy a few pieces of clothes, I do not want you to come.”

“I want to go.”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Not all things need to be explained.”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I will remember this.” Although unwilling, Takeda did not follow him. Because he was well aware that if he really annoyed that guy, it would be a miserable end for him.

Although not as busy as s.h.i.+njuku, in Hachioji district, the stores were not just a few.

In the five-story high department store main entrance, Lei Yin saw Kazumi and Take Asasei were already there.

“Did you wait long?”

Kazumi shook her head, “Just came in.”

“Then let’s go. Hey, let’s go.” Lei Yin said the last sentence to Take Asasei who hugged Amy in her bosom, giggling out loud.

Taking a glance at him, Take Asasei said to Amy: “Little Amy, it must be very hard on you to follow this always-like-to-curse guy, right? What, you think I am right? In this case, then why don’t you move to my house to live with me? Oh, you really agree. Kazumi’s brother, you heard what Amy just said right? She said she wanted to live with me. Can you lend her to me for a few days? Please?”
