Imagine getting mad at #1 when you're #7. I don't get this. Maybe if she consistently one upped him, but he wasn't even close.

 

[sirflimflam]

@redsea That's not really the point. He was jealous that a single person could consistently monopolize that top spot while he had to work his ass off to reach rank seven, which in itself is a respectable feat, but it's still not #1. He wants to win, but can't, and it frustrates him. Shouldn't be too hard to understand why that could make a competitive person feel a bit bitter.

 

[caprisun]

He’s cute 😳

 

[Nersine]

Hey this one is pretty good

 

[jimkage]

Fuck this supernatural crap.

 

[Velsy]

I Nothing more than hating sore loose who get mad that people are doing better then they are. Oh wow ! she got 1st place... Do you know how you beat that ?? you fucking studdy your ass off and achieve it asshole. Instead of being a sore looser.

Other than that, it was kinda cute.

 

[unime]

Why the heck is he angsty?! He wasnt even close.. like he was 7th not 2nd also it ain't her fault he sucks at studying my Lord
Many thanks

You guys are missing the point. It's not that he kept losing to her, it's that he tried really hard but lost to someone he assumed didn't have to try hard at all. Which he thought because he assumed that she was just like his sister who seemed to achieve everything without effort and completely nonchalantly. If efforts can't make things equal, or at least competitive, then it suggests a fundamental, systemic unfairness, like the world is rigged against him no matter how hard he tried. Which leads to resentment against the one he thinks is unfairly blessed with such natural talent she did nothing to earn, but still reaps the benefit of. It's still a myopic and skewed view, but reasonable within context of his misconception.

 

[mismarca]

Lol its pretty good, they both going all science and I mere mortal was like wut ._.

@unime
He just jealous that's all. He keep seeing her name in the top 1 while he who is doing his best is at rank 7. He did shout that starting from kindergarten he was sent to cram school for exams so he is on the edge here, give him some slack.

 

[Keasaer]

So, when he calculates the time the truck is going to take before crashing, he does it in an instant. Like, 2 small panels are dedicated to it. And that is to give the impression that he did it in an instant. That is not something that you can just do in your head in an instant. Now, it's not a hard calculation. And there are certainly tricks and to remember and calculate instantly, or even having solved something similar earlier could have contributed (they are in high school, so I am assuming basic physics problems would not be off the table)

But in the end of the day, it is something most people could not do in their heads, in an instant that is. (To get an quick estimate I would need at least 10 seconds, and that is in a perfect & ideal case, and it would just be an estimate, and if I was ready for this exact calculation, knowing all the numbers and whatnot, and I am quite quick with numbers. The main character, in an instant, calculated the exact number, in a situation that he just arrived at, and in a situation that probably puts him under pressure)

So, I don't know if this was overlooked by the author or if it is part of the plot. They are clearly both intelligent, but having an understanding of concepts and doing math faster than a calculator are 2 different things. So, I am just hoping that this was not an unintentional mistake by the author and it was actually done with the purpose of establishing just how incredibly smart the protagonist is.

Interesting series though for sure.
