Tetsu's Dilemma

You're telling me that a thirteen-year-old boy defeated the top sixteen-year-old geniuses from five regions and won the championship.

Wasn't that as unbelievable as the national football team winning the World Cup?

No one would believe something like that.

They had still been in the semifinals that night, yet by the next evening, they had become champions.

Afterward, he called several more people in succession—Xiao Ye, Kona, and Sato.

Only after they confirmed that Eichi had indeed won the championship did he finally believe it.

At the same time, he felt dazed, as if it were unreal.

Since Eichi was already this amazing, could he just graduate directly? That thought suddenly surfaced in Tetsu's mind.

Although he still did not know exactly how strong Eichi was, being able to defeat geniuses under sixteen from five regions in the Five School League—

Graduating should not be a problem at all.

Besides, Eichi was very smart and had long been studying the 6th Grade curriculum on his own.

He had also achieved the requirement for graduation: reaching the top eight in any League Tournament.

It seemed like graduating now would not be a problem at all.

That made Tetsu a little worried. What would he do if Eichi left?

Before he knew it, class had ended.

"Ring, ring, ring."

The dismissal bell rang. After saying class was over, the teacher packed up and left.

Tetsu quickly took out his phone and called Eichi.

His breathing grew heavier, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Beep... beep..."

Click. The call connected.

"Hello, Eichi, where are you guys?"

Eichi's voice came from the other end. "I'm already back at the dorm."

"Huh? You got back so quickly? And you didn't even tell me when you got off the bus." Tetsu sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"Fine, wait there.
