Chapter 10: Library and... New character?

Author Note: Just a question, are breasts size inversely proportional to IQ?

Tuesday, April 8, 2013

Morning, the sky is dark and the weather is raining as usual today.

Junichiro wakes up in the morning as he takes a bath, wears his school uniform, and then goes toward the dining room. He then prepares a simple breakfast from leftover ingredients in the fridge and sits in the living room as he turns on the TV.

*Beep*

"The frequency of heavy rain in the local area already surpasses last year's amount, making it a historical record. It is unknown when this city will see the sun again in the future."

The voice of the weather news presenter sounds out from the television as he turns it on.

"Tch… Just what the hell happens in this world? Global warming? Climate change? Irregular weather change? Will every timeline of Earth experience some kind of disaster in this period? Covid in my past life and unlimited rain cloud in this one."

Junichiro bit his sandwich as he voiced that out. It took a while till he finished his breakfast as he watched the news before he got ready to go to school.

Wearing his trusted lab coat, Junichirou walks out of his house with an umbrella and a raincoat toward the Ichou High school.

Just like yesterday, before he can walk out far away from his home, he can see the figure of Ayase in a purple raincoat with an umbrella who just arrived here.

"Ayase?... You actually don't need to come to my place before going to school every day. After all, it is raining today. You might get sick if you are under this rain for a long time."

Junichirou said so with a concerned tone

"I'm not as weak as you described! Let's just go to school now." She replied as she faced the direction of the school and left him alone.

"W-wait!" Junichiro called out as he followed her on the way to their school.

---------

The morning went on normally as they started to learn their school subject from the teacher. This was unlike yesterday where the teacher only introduced themselves and what are they gonna learn this semester.

It was not until break time that Junichiro could finally get away from his classroom and start his research in the library. For break time, Junichiro bought two buns and a box of milk from the school cafeteria.

After eating, he walked relaxingly towards the library. It was no wonder that Ichou High School was a famous and renowned school nation and worldwide as even the library is as huge as a soccer stadium. With a library this huge, it also contains knowledge from university-level as there is no way to explain its sheer size if they don't.

It was still morning, yet it was already dark from the clouds in the sky outside. Junichiro looked at the brightly lit library and felt a feeling of unfamiliarity and nostalgia.

'How long has it been since I came to the library?

As a former university student in his past life, the library was one of the most common destinations he went to in his college life. It was not one or two that he even went as far as staying overnight inside a library.

Junichirou took a deep breath and with a feeling of unease, he walked into the library.

'As they usually say, A true Genius would never waste his time!'

Junichiro entered the vast library and it took him quite a long time to find the required book. As He found the book, He searched for the available seats as it seems that lots of people also go to a library at breaktime.

'Jeez… This is not even a university and these many people go to a library at high school… It seems that those who choose to enroll here are someone who is really enthusiastic to study huh?'

When he found a seat, he sat down and began to read the Artificial Intelligence Programming book.

In tackling this whole technology, he decided to solve this problem first as he was already familiar with programming and even hacking from the knowledge he gained from his predecessor.

'I majored in renewable energy engineering in my past life which mainly dealt with electricity generation through solar panels, hydropower, and others. The knowledge I learn from there almost has no similarity with the technology I obtained this time since both are different types of technology.' Junichirou thought as he twirled his pen on the table.

'On the other hand, it seems my predecessor seems to be very knowledgeable about theoretical physics mainly in space and dimensional physics. He was also very proficient in programming and even hacking. Duh! His network defense is even stronger than the Pentagon! It was a shame that he has no interest in Artificial Intelligence which makes me need to complete his lack of knowledge.'

Junichiro sighed as he continued to read the book at a speed so fast that he didn't even believe it himself. He did not know if it was due to the effect of the system, but he felt himself gradually entering into a state of full concentration. It was almost as if he forgot about everything around him. There was only himself and his book. Nothing else existed.

As time slowly passed by, there were fewer and fewer people in the library since break time was almost over, but Juncihirou was unaffected by it. He was still deeply immersed in the book's ocean of knowledge.

It would take maybe until noon before Junichirou finished the remaining topics in the book "Artificial Intelligence programming".

Though it was not until 1 minute before the bell that the teacher in charge of the library tapped his shoulder and woke him up from his concentration state.

"The bells are gonna ring anytime soon, I think you should go to your class before that." The teacher said so with a smile on her face.

"Ah? Uhm… Can I borrow this book?" Junichiro said that with a hopeful expression.

"Unfortunately no, you need to have your student card before you can borrow a book from the library. You might get one this afternoon so you can borrow it later after school when the library is still open." The teacher explained.

"I see, Thanks for your information!" Junichiro said his thanks

"You're welcome!" Replied the teacher before Junichiro hurried to his classroom from the library.

After reading the book, he couldn't separate himself from thinking about artificial intelligence all day that even He got a book thrown to his head.

…By Hiratsuka Sensei, since he didn't listen to her teaching from thinking about making his own AI all day long.

------------

The lunch finally arrives as he finally comes back to the library and forgets about eating his lunch. As he arrived, He take his previous book on AI programming before sitting down on his previous seat.

Junichirou took a deep breath and flipped to the bookmarked page from this book. He then began to focus his attention on the textbook.

Soon after, he began to enter into a state of immersion and forgot everything around him like before. It was just him and his textbook…

Time passed by slowly and it finally reached half part of the one hour long lunch time. Junichiro relaxed and closed the textbook.

He finally finished "Artificial Intelligence Programming" in only 1 hour! The book only gives him the basics of programming machine learning programs and big data analysis for AI. However, it was enough as he now understands the vocabulary and theory that is contained in the technology he has at his brain from the system.

Seeing that Lunchtime had already passed by half the time, Junichiro closed the textbook and started to walk out of the library.

He passed the main entrance of the library and went to the cafeteria. He got a meal set with his money, ate it at a wondrous speed, and quickly returned to the library.

First, he returned the book that he had read. Then, he went over to the shelves and picked up "Basics of Material Sciences and Engineering" which is also important for applying several new materials in the technology from the system before sitting back down on his seat.

As the students also probably already finished their lunch, the library became crowded again. He read the book for 5 minutes before someone tapped his shoulder and knocked him out of the state of "immersion".

"Classmate, sorry to bother you… Can I ask you a question?"

Junichiro nodded his head quickly. "Sure, ask away."

Even though his studying was interrupted, he was not annoyed at all.

'What is it that she wants to ask?' Thought Junichirou as he looked at the girl beside him.

She is a tall and slender girl with silky blue waist-length hair that has bangs swept to the right with a white headband inside of it. She also has brown eyes and her beauty is undeniable as she might be titled as one of the prettiest girls in Ichiu Academy High school this year. Besides the school uniform, she also wears a blue sweater on top of it.

Regardless of anything, humans are aesthetic creatures. Beauty is very important in social interactions.

'But, out of everyone, why did this girl ask me?' Junichiro asks himself as he reflects on his appearance.

'Must be because I'm so handsome hehe!'

Junichirou loved people who had good taste and asked questions humbly. You need to really understand that he did not have any other motives and just wanted to help her.

…

Really!!!

"Thanks," said the girl quietly. She swiftly moved her chair next to Junichiro and thoughtfully brought a pen and paper.

Junichiro took the pen and began to look at the question.

'Hmm? Isn't this just the second day of school? Why is she already asking mathematical questions as if this is homework or something? Well, she is probably a third-year student who wants to prepare for university or something of the sort.'

While thinking that it is weird for a senior to ask her junior, he still chooses to look at the question since it is easy peasy for him.

"Let me see… Finding limits, right?"

Find positive numbers a and b. Equation: when (X→ 0) lim 1/(x-bsin(x)) ∫2/√(a+2t) dt =1 (integral limits are x and 0)

Since he already went to high school once and excelled at maths, physics, and chemistry, it was not a problem for him to solve this question.

Junichiro began spinning the pen as he started to think. He took less than 10 seconds before saying, "I solved it."

"You… You solved it just like that?" asked the girl suspiciously. She wondered how the hell did he solve it without writing anything down.

Junichiro looked at the girl and thought the saying that "breast size was inversely proportional to IQ" was a lie since the girl in front of him is an airport…. if you know what he means.

However, honestly speaking, he was shocked by how fast he solved the question. He had solved this type of question before but it was never this easy. He did not even use the paper. The steps to solve the question just came into his head.

Junichiro did not waste his time and began writing down the work to the question. While writing he began to explain,

"Typical 0/0 (zero divided by zero) undefined equation. Just use L'Hopital's rule. The first step is to separate the integral. That's easy, right? From (X → 0) lim (1-bcosx) = 0, b equals 1.

And then, you plug this back into the equation and you would get a = 4. Check the answer and see if I'm right."

The girl stared blankly at the paper. She thought that this guy's explanation speed was faster than her listening speed.

When he wrote down the two answers, she was still remembering how to solve an integral. She doubted him as she flipped to the answers page. Her eyes widened.

'This is really the answer!?'

Junichiro noticed the girl's facial expression and could not help himself but laugh. He said while spinning the pen,

"It's a very easy application of L'Hopital's rule. The calculation part is easy. Are you in your third year? "

The girl blushed and said quietly, "Yes… I am in my final year. Ah right! My name is Furuhashi Fumino from class 3A. Nice to meet you! How about you? Which class are you in?"

'Ah! so she is from that daily life anime huh? I can't learn or something?' Though Junichiro.

"Name? My name is Aragaki Junichiro and I'm in class 2A. Nice to meet you too!" Junichirou introduces himself

"Class 2A? I don't seem to find you in our class? W-Wait a minute, TWO A?… You are still in the second year?" Ask Fumino in disbelief.

Her face turned to a redder color after the words came out of her mouth.

She was not ashamed but she was angry! Rather, She was pissed off!

It's just solving a math question. Nothing to brag about! I am better at languages than math and physics, unlike that girl who has the inverse!

Remembering the girl with big breast and glasses who is a genius at physic and math but want to go to psychology since she wants to understand how peoples thought, Fumino can't help but think;

'The one who said breast size and IQ are inversely proportional is a liar!!'

Then the atmosphere turns into that of awkward silences...
