But May told him seriously that the Nakano family did not need him as a tutor.
Just when the two were about to separate, Uesugi Fuutarou's sister suddenly appeared and invited May to dinner at Fuutarou's house with an enthusiasm that May could not resist.
May couldn't refuse the little girl's enthusiasm and could only obey.
But when she arrived at the place, May found out how poor Fuutarou's family was. The whole family lived in a crowded rental house, and they could only eat dry rice for dinner without any extra side dishes.
After realizing how much the tutor position meant to Fuutarou, Mayu finally agreed to let Fuutarou serve as a tutor, but sternly stated that she would never need his teaching.
And May's words gave Fuutarou inspiration. He realized that he didn't have to teach all five girls. He only needed to teach a few of them with poorer grades. Wouldn't everyone be able to successfully graduate from the academy
Thinking of this, Fuutarou Uesugi immediately went to the quintuplets' home the next day and asked them to take a written test.
Moreover, he told the five people that no matter who they were, as long as they passed the exam, he would never appear in front of her again.
Uesugi Fuutarou was originally full of confidence, thinking that his move was a powerful solution, but...
"That's amazing, 100 points... but all added up..."
All of a sudden, Fuutarou Uesugi finally realized the truth of the matter.
It turns out that every one of the quintuplets had failing grades!
…
After seeing the content of the movie, the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
People obviously didn't expect that the protagonist's calculations would end up being so ridiculous, and all five girls' grades turned out to be failing.
But at the same time, the audience couldn't help but think about the plot of the movie.
After all, although the concept of college has only been expressed indirectly, people still can't help but fantasize about college life.
"What method will the protagonist use to assess the quintuplets? What will the assessment be about?"
"I don't know, but since this is an academy for ordinary people, it can't be something like testing magic, right?"
"But if there is no test on magic, what exactly are ordinary people going to learn as students?"
"I don't know either. In the past, the empire only had three professions to learn: knights, magicians, and priests. However, knights rely on actual combat, priests rely on talent and faith in God, and only magicians need to study in the academy. Even if ordinary people go to the academy, I'm afraid they won't learn anything."
"Besides magicians, doesn't the Empire have some scholars? What have they been studying?"
"Generally, the research of the Imperial scholars is varied. Some study the history of the Empire, some study the cultures of the various regions of the Empire, and some delve into politics and become the staff of various nobles... But generally speaking, the scholars' studies are not systematic and are not passed down from one generation to another. The scholars' associations established by the scholars are not as professional and large-scale as the Imperial School of Magic."
"So, what you learn in that so-called Imperial Comprehensive College is mostly about academics? It seems meaningless..."
"It's hard to say. After all, most things in the world are meaningless."
"… "
Suddenly, the audience's discussion shifted from the film's plot to the Imperial Academy.
After all, the news about the Imperial Comprehensive Academy has been spreading too much in the empire in recent days. In addition, the empire does not force all people of appropriate age to study in the academy, so most people are still hesitating between wanting to join and not knowing whether they should join.
Now, after seeing the description of learning in "The Quintessence", a small number of viewers suddenly have a little more expectation for college life, and think that maybe it would be a good idea to join the college to study.
Of course, the college life shown in the movie alone is still not enough to fully mobilize the emotions of most people.
After seeing this, most of the boys still had no intention of joining the Imperial Academy. Instead, they were even more looking forward to the feeling of falling in love with beautiful girls.
After all, lust is human instinct, while learning knowledge is something people instinctively resist.
This is human nature that cannot be changed.
On the other hand, students from the Imperial Magic Academy said that the plot in the movie was too familiar to them.
Some students who had originally come to watch the movie happily even showed bitter faces on the spot when they saw the red failing papers of the five heroines.
Because they suddenly remembered that the final exams of the Imperial Academy of Magic seemed to be held not long after this movie was shown.
Chapter 383: The Quintessential Quintuplets is released! (Part 4)
Chapter 383
While the audience was engaged in heated discussions, the plot of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" continued to develop.
After realizing that the five sisters were all poor students, Uesugi Fuutarou was suddenly confused.
When he got up early the next day to go to school, he met five people on the way, and from their conversation he suspected that some of them had not even had time to review for the exam.
For this reason, Fuutarou couldn't help but ask the five people a history-related test question, but no one could answer it.
Afterwards, Fuutarou went to the cafeteria to eat while thinking about how to teach the quintuplets. As usual, he ordered the barbecue set meal without the barbecue meat, but unexpectedly found Miku staring at him.
Unable to understand the other person's attitude at once, Fuutarou could only return to the classroom after finishing his meal.
When he sat down, Fuutarou took out the books from the drawer, but suddenly found an envelope with Miku's name on it mixed in.
The letter read: I came to the rooftop after school and have something to tell you. I can't suppress my feelings.
Faced with such a letter that seemed to contain special meaning, Fuutarou couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Although he always felt that falling in love was the most meaningless thing for young people, he couldn't help but feel a little elated when he thought that a beautiful girl like Miku might have a crush on him.
For the rest of the day in class, Fuutarou forced himself not to think about it, and even thought it must be a prank.
However, due to a little expectation in his heart, he still went to the roof of the college after school.
"Haha, you see, it really is a prank. If it really happened, I would have a headache instead."
Just as Fuutarou was thinking this and preparing to leave, he didn't expect the door on the roof to suddenly open, and Miku actually appeared in front of him.
"Great, you saw the letter. It would have been nice if you could have said it in the cafeteria, because you don't want anyone else to hear it."
"this… "
Fuutarou was stunned when he saw the girl saying such a thing.
"Fuutarou, that's what I've always wanted to say..."
"W-what?"
Suddenly, thinking that the other party was going to confess to him, Fuutarou's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
But what he didn't expect was that what Sanjiu said was a strange term.
"What do you mean? Is this some kind of roundabout confession?"
"You're so annoying. I'm just answering your questions this morning."
"Morning question?"
Fuutarou Uesugi suddenly recalled the history-related questions he had asked the five sisters in the morning. Miku did look a little strange at that time.
In an instant, Fuutarou understood the situation, and seeing Miku about to leave, he hurriedly chased after her, but in the process he accidentally dropped her bag, and a slightly quaint book fell out of it.
"Did you see that?"
Seeing Miku's suddenly sharp gaze, Fuutarou's expression suddenly froze.
But Miku suddenly covered her face in embarrassment.
It turned out that she had always been interested in things related to history, and could talk about historical events or leaders and generals with ease.
This was totally against the girl's interests and naturally should not be known to others.
Seeing this, Fuutarou Uesugi immediately acknowledged the other party's interest in order to gain the other party's favor, and used his academic-level memory to name many historical figures that the other party liked.
The two had a great time talking during this period, and Miku even reluctantly agreed to Fuutarou's invitation to study together.
But just when the two were about to separate, Miku suddenly said something very strange.
Fuutarou failed to comprehend the meaning of these words at once, and was immediately met with hostility from Miku.
"You said you were very smart, but that's all the knowledge you have. There's nothing more I want to learn from you. Goodbye."
After saying that, Miku left the scene, leaving Fuutarou standing there in a daze.
…
The movie "The Quintessence" was specially localized by Du Lin. Except for the names of the characters which still follow the original work, both the world view and the background setting are deliberately portrayed in a place that is very similar to this world.
So, when the audience saw the plot, they naturally accepted it without any sense of disobedience.
Although the story setting was accepted, the audience still felt a little confused about the plot of the movie.
After all, most people's knowledge of history is very superficial. It is already amazing for ordinary people to know some famous historical events. Naturally, there are no ordinary people who specialize in studying this aspect.
The vast majority of people don’t even understand the significance of studying and recording history.
Therefore, at this moment, when people see Miku, a girl who is passionate about history, they think she is very cute, but they also feel that they seem to be a waste.
"Looking back, I only know about the history of the empire over the past hundred years."
"You can still know about the past hundred years? I feel like I don't know anything about what happened ten years ago."
"There's nothing I can do about it. Although scholars often publish books about imperial history, most people have no interest in reading them."
"If a loser like me meets a girl like Miku, I'm afraid I won't even be able to say a word to her."
"Ah, I suddenly have an urge to go to the academy and study history well."
"Comprehensive College? I remember that one of the courses it offers is Imperial History, and there is even a subject called World History."
"This... Although it's only a little bit, I do have the urge to go to the academy to see what it's like..."
"By the way, after being rejected by Miku, how can Uesugi Fuutarou get her to learn from him?"
"… "
For a moment, the audience's words rang out, and the influence of the movie on people's subconscious was also developing subtly.
Although it is only a shallow part, it has indeed changed people's perception of the college.
Seeing this scene, King Hubbard's mouth curled up slightly.
In a world where magicians lead the entire civilization and ordinary people can live a good life without even doing anything extra, if you want people to learn spontaneously, you can only rely on subtle consciousness transformation and propaganda, apart from inducement by interests.
It is undoubtedly impossible to accomplish such a thing in one era. If we want to completely change people's concepts, it will take at least one or two generations to study in college and show their benefits to society before it can gradually emerge.
Of course, if movies can influence enough people in this first era and allow as many ordinary people as possible to voluntarily enter college to study, that would naturally be a great thing.
Chapter 384: The Quintessential Quintuplets Released (V)
Chapter 384
After watching the movie, the audience's focus as magicians from the Imperial Magic Academy is completely different from that of ordinary people.
After all, with the memory ability of most magicians, remembering history is just an easy task, so they don’t think there is any problem with it at all.
The only thing that surprised them was that, although the plot of the entire "The Quintessential Quintuplets" had nothing to do with the Imperial Academy of Magic, the various settings in it revealed the shadow of the Imperial Academy of Magic all the time.
Although it was not a big deal, it undoubtedly made the students feel awkward.
Of course, if they knew that Durin originally designed the localized academy in the movie based on the model of the Imperial Academy of Magic, they would not have such doubts.
…
The plot of the movie continues to develop.
After being rejected by Miku, Fuutarou Uesugi went directly to the academy library and borrowed a large number of history-related books.
Miku's last contemptuous words made him feel completely angry, and he was determined to thoroughly understand the entire history.
Just like that, after staying up late for several days to study hard, he finally found Miku and issued a notice of a decisive battle, determined to make the other party recognize him completely.
However, Miku had no intention of giving him another chance and chose to run away directly.
The two sides chased each other on the road to the academy. During this period, Miku even disguised herself as Yotsuba. Because the quintuplets looked very similar, Uesugi Fuutarou did not recognize her at all.
But in the end, with the help of the real Yotsuba, Fuutarou finally found Miku, and to prove his determination, he recited all the famous generals in history while chasing her.
Both sides kept running like this until the sun set, and then they collapsed on the playground exhausted.
Afterwards, Fuutarou Uesugi told Miku the question that he couldn't answer last time, and asked Miku why she didn't tell her other sisters about her love for history.
Impressed by him, Miku answered his question.
It turns out that Miku, who seems to have a stable personality, has always been very inferior in her heart. She thinks that she is the most backward among the five sisters. She also thinks that what she can do, the other sisters can do too.
After learning about Miku's psychology, Fuutarou spoke decisively:
"My mission is to make them, and you, study, and let all five of you graduate with smiles on your faces."
