How I choose to Live with God
Wisdom gained with repeated despair. Knowledge for the sake of an unwavering future.

Aoba University Entrance Examination First Round Geology
Question 1 (Multiple choice) 20pts
At two observation points 150 km apart in the east-west direction (the west being observation point A, and the east being observation point B), seismometers were installed to record east-west, north-south, and vertical movements. These seismometers recorded waveform records of an earthquake caused by meteorite impact. Identify the point of impact and time of impact using these records. P-waves and S-waves were observed at each station at the times indicated in Fig. 1. To represent coordinates on the horizontal plane, we define the origin as observation point A, with the x-axis and y-axis as due east and due north respectively. In addition, the azimuth θ (180° < φ < 180°) of the impact point as seen from observation point A will be defined as the angle of counterclockwise rotation from due east, as seen in Fig. 1. The azimuth φ（180°＜φ＜180°）of the meteorite’s impact angle will be defined in relation to the meteorite’s projected shadow on the horizontal plane, once again using counterclockwise rotation as our positive direction. Furthermore, the ground surface of this area is completely flat, and the underground P-waves and S-waves measure velocities of 6.5km/s and 3.5km/s respectively. You can disregard the impact of shockwaves generated in the atmosphere as a result of the meteorite. Assume the existence of an observer, and that the continued existence of humanity is not in question.

Question 1 (Multiple choice) 20pts
Fig. 1 depicts the records of seismometers installed at point A, B and C. The horizontal axis records the time since the arrival of the first P-waves. The first S-wave arrived at point A the same time as the first P-wave reached point B.
Fig. 2 depicts the geographical relationship between points A, B and C on a horizontal plane. You can assume that the properties of the surrounding area as well as the elevation levels are identical.
Choose the correct epicenter for this earthquake, from points a~i.
[Find the epicenter], in other words-
D = kt the Kobayashi formula…
We can ignore the constant k
2:3:2 <Distance to the epicenter>[D] is proportional to <the duration of the initial tremors>[t]
Using these radii values…we can draw three circles…
And straight lines down their overlapping areas…
And the intersection of these three lines-
“In other words, h is the epicenter!”
Question 2 (Free answer) 10pts
In that scenario, how many times is the P-wave’s velocity compared to that of the S-wave?
“-I mean”
The same elevation level, and the same kind of soil?
“And”
<The epicenter and not the hypocenter>[that] is what they’re asking us to solve for??
“lmao right?!”
How awfully convenient, they gotta be throwing
Geology is serious business for us!
“We’ll show them!”
“You’re right we will!”
Did we even have to visit the <shrine that went viral from the psychic highschooler Amateru Mika’s social media>[trending shrine]?
We’re more than good enough on our own lmao
“I see, so <those energetic girls> also went to the shrine!
“Maybe we’ll be enjoying some nice teatime together a year from now, haha.”
“I mean, if you’ve got the mental to climb that slope, you’re lowkey unstoppable!”
“So true bestie!”
When I was young, I wanted to be a cool
<Ally of justice>
[hero]
But I could also become a cute
<Magical Princess>
So I believed
[~you should be like this]
Traditional ideas of expectations
Pressure me into conforming
But the pain from rocks being thrown at me
Are muffled at
water
bottom
-And thus
<I basically just keep going my own way>
I was invited to all the girls’ day outs
And I ended up pretty much…privy to
<Discussions on romance, but in reality just a place to whine>
[All the talk about love]
From <the girls in the same research lab>, haha-
“Dude, I cannot believe that just happened-!”
“I feel you.”
<The upperclassmen that I happened to sit next to when the research lab went out for drinks >[Yasshi-san], you’re soooo <intelligent and rational>[mature]....aaaand you handle your alcohol welll…
Even though….we’re onnnnly…
<Yashima investigation report:
She had her misunderstanding back then…
But the individual named [Yashima Akiharu] is not a current student, but rather a full fledged adult, or perhaps to say, quite a few years older than she thought>
[two years apart]...
You have my <immense respect and reverence> as <an impeccable person with a good head on their shoulders>[a person]!
I reeeally don’t liike…
<Impulsive men who behave like animals>[angry men]
Because I’ve haaad….
<Yashima investigation report:
At this point in time, our relationship was not at the point that she should’ve hinted at this topic, but she was under the influence of alcohol that she’s not used to…supposedly she hated herself for that when she woke up the next day with a thundering headache and deep-seated regret>
[a bad experience]
With theeem….
“Hey professor, are we really incapable of predicting earthquakes?”
“Oh! Speaking of which
[Yasshi]
<Yashima investigation report:
My nickname that I was known by amongst lab members>
“Hmm…it is indeed quite challenging for current technology.”
And
[Yacchi]
<Yashima investigating report:
The nickname of the innocent girl who reminds me of my younger sister>
Are kiiiind of similar, right? Ahaha!
“Geez, get a grip on yourself, humanity!”
“That’s right!”
Please, let’s be frieeeends….”
The curse that binds me
to that blue day…
Frame
By
Frame…
This nightmare repeats itself…
The ocean within this tiny box…
Swirls around in a dance…
Imprinting my sister’s last moments…
Into <the psyche of a boy sitting in the audience>[the gallery], powerless to do anything…
However
I am no longer
<The powerless child> I was back then…
With every night I overcome
My body is burnt by thousands of despairs
At the end of that
I found a light within the darkness
We call it [Science]
If I could go down this path
I’ll dedicate even my life to this ⛩️orizon
As
<Someone who cursed the whims of the divine that befell them>
This
Is
My
God

“So we have a geology major from Aoba next? Oh, they studied under professor Kashima…”
“Please, come on in.”
“Excuse me.”
