Chapter 6: The College Entrance Examination

  National College Entrance Examination

  May I ask where the road is? The road is under your nose, idiot!

  About the voice actor company thing, Yuka quickly forgot. Because it's already been a month now, various university exams have started.

  In Japan, there are several types of college entrance exams. In addition to the centralized national exam, each university also has its own secondary exam to assess individual students' abilities. After checking the exam schedule, Yuka applied for two of them.

  As for the self-enrollment exam of private colleges, Yu Guo only applied to one. However, even if she got into that college, she wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. So it was just a casual try, accumulating experience in taking exams.

  From January to March, Youguo didn't go back to work anymore. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to what she thought was the most important trial of her life.

  Even without the income from these two part-time jobs, the family's life would not be greatly affected. Da Ge Zheng Yi's salary has all been saved up, after all, he is going to get married and needs to plan for buying a house. Er Ge is also doing various part-time jobs like You Guo, although most of it has been invested into the pit of Japan ACG Construction Committee.

  Yuka's parents ran a small restaurant on the first floor of their home, selling simple bento boxes to neighbors in the surrounding area. The neighborhood where the Izumis lived was an old community, and many of the neighbors had known each other for decades. Yuka's parents were also too embarrassed to raise prices, so they barely made any money maintaining the small store.

  "Yu Guo ah, this is a lucky charm I got for you at the shrine, remember to wear it."

  "Jam, hope your exam goes smoothly, grandma is chanting Buddhist scriptures for you every day."

  "Little sister, this is my Otaku Man sticker, I'm giving it to you. The energy of the dynamic light wave will be transmitted to your brain."

  Yu Guo put away the scattered things in her backpack with tears, having eaten the bento from Quan Shui Jia for over a decade, she couldn't exert much strength, so all she could do was offer some spiritual support.

  The big and small exams have been going on for almost three months, and the release of results from various schools has also been ongoing.

  It's unknown whether heaven is playing a trick on itself, but Yu Guo discovered that all the national and public universities he applied for were rejected. The only one he got accepted to was that private university.

  "How much is the tuition for this school?" Hero Dad asked, holding Youguo's mobile phone and looking at the enrollment list taken on site with a headache.

  "In the first year, 14 million, and in the next three years, 11 million." The elder brother let out a fair sigh and replied. The school that younger sister Youguo was admitted to happened to be the one he didn't get into back then.

  "Isn't that 4.5 million over four years?" Er Ge said with a smack of his tongue, even if he worked three jobs, he still couldn't make up this amount of money.

  "It's 47 million!" Hezi glanced at Zhengyi with disdain, this foolish son, can't even do three-digit arithmetic correctly, really hopeless.

  The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat heavy, although a comedy show was still playing on TV, but no one could laugh.

  "Alright, I'll cover Yu Guo's tuition for the first year. In his free time, Yu Guo can take on a part-time job and I'll supplement it a bit more. With the scholarship, the four years of tuition should be covered." Gong Zheng pushed up his glasses, his voice unusually low.

  "Brother..." Youguo was somewhat moved, but she absolutely could not accept this money. Gongzheng and his girlfriend, her future sister-in-law, were going to get married in half a year's time. Without this money, the house they had set their hearts on would definitely be unaffordable.

  "Fair!" Crane's daughter looked at her eldest son, then at Yu Guo, not knowing what to say. Having lived for over 50 years, this was the first time she had completely lost her words.

  "Brother, don't." Youguo saw Hezi's embarrassed expression and felt uncomfortable too. She quickly opened her mouth to refuse, but she couldn't think of any excuse to reasonably make her big brother give up this idea.

  Suddenly caught sight of his own bag placed on one side, Yu Guo hastily picked it up and rummaged through the small pockets.

  "What are you doing?" Hezi looked at his daughter in surprise, unable to understand why she would take such an action.

  "Mom, I never told you." Yu Guo finally flipped out the cream-colored business card from that pile of stickers and lucky charms, and placed it heavily on the coffee table, slowly pushing it to the central position. "I... I..."

  "What's this?" Heizi squinted her eyes, unable to make out the small characters on the business card. She nudged Xiaoying and picked up the card.

  Dad immediately understood, he got up and walked to the side cabinet, took out an old flower-shaped glasses and handed it to He Zi.

  "What's a law firm?" Hezi didn't understand English, and even with reading glasses on, it was useless.

  "Atomic Ape Voice Actor Agency?" Justice stretched his neck and looked at the words above, "Yu Guo, are you really going to become a voice actor?"

  "What is a voice actor?" asked He Zi, Ying Xiong and Gong Zheng in unison.

  "Voice actor, voice actor, it's..." Zhengyi suddenly didn't know how to explain to this group of family members who didn't understand ACG at all. He glanced at the TV and suddenly found that the screen was playing Silver O.

  "It's this, this!" Seigi stood up and walked to the TV, pointing at the naturally curly-haired warrior inside, "The people who do voice acting for animated characters are called seiyu. They're like actors, but they use their voices to act instead!"

  "Huh......" Three people in their 30s and above looked at the TV with a confused expression.

  "Rather than thinking about how to die gloriously, it's better to think about how to live beautifully!"

  On TV, that curly-haired warrior roared. His silver hair and white battle clothes were stained with bright red blood.

  "Hmm!" Yūka heard this line and nodded involuntarily.

  April in Tokyo, the temperature is still a bit low. But with the sun shining brightly, walking on the street can still make you sweat slightly. The cherry blossom trees by the roadside have already formed flower buds, and the vibrant flowering season is about to arrive.

  Yu chose a fashionable floral seven-eighth sleeve dress, the two girls she met before left her with a deep impression, so subconsciously she thought that voice actors should be like idols, dressing up beautifully every day to record.

  Holding the cream-colored business card in hand, I found the Atomic Ape Voice Actor Agency according to the address.

  Taking a look at the time, Yūko thought it was still a bit early and didn't know if anyone was working now.

  "Oh, you've finally arrived?"

  Just as Yu Guo was standing at the door hesitating, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

  "Good morning." Yu Guo was startled, she turned around and saw a middle-aged uncle who was about the same height as her. After looking at him for a long time, she couldn't remember where she had seen this person before, so she could only formally greet him first.

  "Want to come for an interview?" The man seemed to be indifferent to Yu Guo's reaction, and he lifted his leg and walked towards the office door.

  "Hmm? Hmm!" Yūka hastily followed along, although she was just coming to take a look, but if there was an interview today, she would also participate.

  "The interview won't start until 2 pm, fill out this form first." The person walked into the office and took a form from the front desk with familiarity, handing it to Youguo.

  "Thank you." Yu Guo hastily took it with both hands, and as soon as she did, she suddenly remembered where she had seen this person before. "Ah, you're the uncle from the streetcar."

  "Haha, you still remember me." The man laughed, his voice was pleasant to hear, and his laughter was even more charming. "My surname is Guan, you can call me Senior Guan."

  "Please, senior, give me more guidance." Youguo followed him and said it again, she had no idea that she was being led away. Not to mention participating in the interview, deciding whether or not to join the industry, but already being taken advantage of.

  "Alright, you fill out the form first, I need to go and open the morning meeting." Guan Zhi waved his hand and turned to walk towards the second floor of the law firm.

  "Alright, Elder Guan." Youguo took out a ballpoint pen from his bag and sat down to carefully fill in the form.

  "Sugita, Sugita, Sugita Tomokazu!" Koji walked around the corner of the stairs and immediately took off running, going from room to room searching for his little buddy.

  "What's wrong, Kusanagi?"

  Sugita couldn't be found, but Kan did bump into Ono Tomoki.

  "Hey, Ono, have you seen Sugita around?" Koji asked, panting slightly as he put his hand on Ono's shoulder.

  "Sugita-san is in the restroom." Ono tilted his head and pointed towards the men's bathroom at the end of the corridor.

  "That guy's been slacking off since morning." Koji pushed Shino aside and headed towards the bathroom.

  "Sugita!"

  "Sugita!"

  "Sugita!"

  He walked into the men's restroom and searched around, pinching his nose and muttering to himself.

  "The next stall is empty." Suddenly, Sugita's voice came from the last toilet.

  "I'm not going to squat in the toilet!" Guan Zhiyi hastily walked over, standing at the door and saying mysteriously, "You have three minutes, hurry up and come out for me, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you a heads up."

  "What's up?" Sugita Takeshi suddenly opened the door, his pants were properly on, and he wasn't doing anything at all.

  "You're really playing GALGAME here......" Seki Tomokazu looked at Sugita's PSP and raised an eyebrow.

  "I'm looking for inspiration." Sugita retorted, "You haven't said anything yet, what's up?"

  "Follow me!" Kōichi turned around and left, without giving Sugita a chance to ask further questions.

  Sugita put the PSP in his jacket pocket and quickly followed after him.

  "Huh, where's that girl from just now?" Guan Zhi suddenly arrived at the first floor, but he couldn't see Youguo's figure anywhere. He turned around and asked the customer service staff at the front desk.

  "Who's the one in the floral skirt?" The receptionist girl winked and smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Guan, I've left your contact information for her."

  "Haha, you're thinking too much." Guan Zhiyi looked at the registration form handed over by the receptionist, feeling a bit embarrassed, his reputation was indeed ruined.

  "So, what did you call me down here for?" Sugita came downstairs, still unable to understand what Kanzaki was up to.

  "Afternoon, you'll know in the afternoon." Guan Zhiyi was still being mysterious, and he handed the registration form back to the receptionist. He put his arm around Sugita's shoulder and said, "Let's go, we'll continue to find inspiration from PSP."

  "Play with your own!" Sugita quickly covered his pocket, afraid that PSP would be snatched away by Kaito.
