Hoshi Yuichiro, Yamashita, and everyone else in the office were stunned.
Not just that, but shortly after the video was uploaded to his personal blog, the entire Japanese academic community was blown up.
Like all people expected, Shinichi Mochizuki stood up and responded to the removal of the paper from his personal blog and the homepage of the department of mathematics.
However, the response was not what people wanted to hear.
In some sense, the Japanese academic community was relatively closed off compared to the international academic community.
This was not reflected in the academic exchange itself, but the entire Japanese academic community was permeated with a xenophobic atmosphere dominated by extremely confident emotions.
Simply put, they were not targeting anyone, but subconsciously, they felt that all foreign scholars were rubbish, and no country was special.
