For the first time, I got a good look at her face.
Wow. She was cute. Or rather, she was beautiful. Even though we werein the same grade, I'd have believed it if you told me she was a year or two older.
Such a calm, cool beauty.
Then.
"This seems like a rather well-equipped classroom. It would appear to live up to people's expectations, hmm?". The boy who'd quarreled with those women on the bus.
Koenji Rokusuke.
"This certainly is bad luck," she said.
"I agree."
This troublemaker had been placed in Class D with us. Withoutseeming to notice our presence at all, he went over to the seat labeled"Kouenji" and sat. I tried observing him for a little bit.Kouenji put his feet ontop of the desk, took a nail file from his bag, and hummed while he treatedhis fingernails. He acted as though he were completely alone.
Apparently, the rude comments he'd made on the bus had been anaccurate reflection of his opinions. Within ten seconds, more than half theclass had begun drawing away from Kouenji. His imposing nature dominatedthe space. Looking over, I saw that Horikita's gaze had lowered, and sheseemed to be reading one of her books. Crime and Punishment.A story that debated whether it was right to kill someone, so long as it was done for the sake of justice.
So sad. Perhaps Horikita's taste in books was reflected in her personality. Well, at any rate, we'd introduced ourselves, so perhaps we could at least become neighborly. After a few minutes, the first bell rang. At that precise moment, a woman entered the classroom. When I first saw her,my initial impression was that she firmly believed in discipline. Ofcourse I knew about it beforehand.
She wore a suit and had delicate features. Her hair seemed long, and she'd tied it into a ponytail.
"Ahem. Good morning to you, students. I'm the instructor for Class D.My name is Chiyabashira Sae. I usually teach Japanese history. However, at this school, we do not change classrooms for each grade. For the next threeyears, I will be acting as your homeroom teacher, so I hope to get to know allof you. It's a pleasure to meet you. The entrance ceremony will be in thegymnasium one hour from now, but first, I will distribute written materialswith information about this school's special rules. I will also hand out theadmissions guide."
The students in the front seats passed back the familiar documents I'dreceived after being accepted.
This school differed from the multitude of other Japanese high schools in a few key ways. Here, all students were required to live in dormitories located on school premises. Also, except for special cases, such as studying abroad, students were forbidden to contact anyone outside the school. Even contact with your immediate family was forbidden without authorization.Naturally, leaving school grounds without permission was also strictly forbidden.
However, the campus also came equipped with many excellent facilities. With its own karaoke spot, theater, café, boutique, and more, you could easily compare this school to a small city. The campus spread over more than 600,000 square meters.
This school boasted another unique feature: the S System.
"I will now hand out your student ID cards. By using your card, you canaccess any of the facilities on campus, purchase goods from the store, and so on. It acts like a credit card. However, it is imperative that you pay attention to the points that you spend. At this school, you can use your points to buy anything. Anything located on the school premises is available for purchase."
Our points, loaded onto our student ID cards, acted as a kind ofcurrency. The lack of paper money would prevent many students' financialtroubles. However, students needed to keep a watchful eye on their spendinghabits. At any rate, the school provided these points free of charge.
"Your student cards can be used simply by swiping them through the machine scanner. The method is simple, so you shouldn't get confused.Points are automatically deposited into your account on the first of every month. You should all have received 100,000 points already this month. Keep in mind that one point is worth one yen. No further explanation should be necessary."
The classroom erupted.In other words, we had received a 100,000-yen monthly allowance from the school upon admission. I'd expect nothing less from a massive institution run by the Japanese government. 100,000 yen is a rather large sum of money for a high schooler.
"Shocked by the amount of points you've been given? This school evaluates its students' talents. Everyone here has passed the entrance examination, which itself speaks to your value and potential. The amount you've received reflects the evaluation of your worth. You can use your points without restraint. After graduation, however, all of your points return to the school. Because it's impossible to exchange your points for cash, there's no advantage to saving them. Once points have been deposited into your account, it's up to you how to spend them. Do as you like. In the event that you don't want to spend your points, you may transfer them to someone else. However, extorting money from your peers is not allowed. This school monitors bullying very carefully."
As bewilderment spread among the students, Chiyabashira-sensei looked over the room.
"Well, it appears no one has any questions. I hope that you enjoy your time here as students."
I raised my hand.
Now I had already thought of a good plan. I will ask the question about S-system in a way those idiots won't call me an idiot.
"Yes Ayanokouji, right?"
After that I could see a faint smile on her face as her lips curved up a little.
"Yes Ma'am"
"So what's your question Ayanokouji?"
"Well you just said that the school evaluates it's students' talents, correct?"
"Yes."
"So does that thing and the thing up there has got any connection?"
"By up what do you mean exactly?"
"I mean the
CCTV cameras up there."
"What?"
"Where?"
"But why?
Several murmurs could be heard after that.
The ones who were smart they may have already noticed my hint.But I highly doubt there would be a huge number of people so.
"I'm sorry.I am not allowed to answer that question."She replied.
"I see.Thank you very much."
After that everyone went to their own world without thinking about my questions except a few. Many of my classmates could not hide their surprise at the large amount of points.
"This school doesn't seem as strict as I thought."
" This school is extremely lenient, isn't it?"
Despite all of the restrictions, like being forced to live in the dormitories, being forbidden to leave the campus, and being prohibited from contacting anyone on the outside, no one here seemed to have any complaints. In fact, you might even say that we'd been given such preferential treatment that it was like we'd been transported to paradise. Of
course, the Advanced Nurturing High School's most impressive statistic was
its near 100 percent placement rate for students advancing into higher
education or entering the workforce.
This government-sponsored school's thorough guidance of its students
hoped to ensure a better future. In fact, the school heavily advertised this.
Many of its alumni went on to achieve fame. Typically, no matter how
famous or impressive a school might be, the areas of specialization are
limited. For example, one school might specialize in sports or in music.
Another might focus on something related to computers. However, at this
school, any student could hope to succeed, regardless of their field.
Only this school had that kind of name-brand value. I'd assumed that
the atmosphere would be cutthroat, but the majority of students looked like
typical kids.
Afterthat everyone started planning what to do with the points.
"Yeah."
"By the way, what were you trying to imply with your question?
"Oh! Tha-
"Everyone, can you please listen to me for a second?"
Perfect timing.
"Starting today, we're all going to be classmates. Therefore, I think it'd
be good for us to introduce ourselves and become friends as soon as possible.
We still have some time until the entrance ceremony. What do you say?"
He'd just done something incredible. The majority of students were
lost in thought, unable to speak up.
"Agreed! After all, we still don't know a thing about each other, not
even our names," someone shouted.
After the ice had broken, the previously hesitant students began to
speak.
"My name's Hirata Yousuke. Back in junior high, lots of people called
me Yousuke. Feel free to use my first name! I guess my hobby is sports in
general, but I especially like soccer. I'm planning on playing soccer here, too.
Nice to meet you!"
Hirata had effortlessly introduced himself to the class. He seemed
exceptionally brave. And he'd talked about his love for soccer, too! His level
of popularity must've increased two, no, maybe four times. Why, the girl
seated next to Hirata had hearts in her eyes! If someone like Hirata became
our class's linchpin, I wondered if he'd keep everyone honest and motivated
until graduation.
Someone like him would definitely end up dating the cutest girl in class.
That was how these things for typical ikemen like him.
"Well then, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves, starting from the
front. Is that okay?"
Although the girl at the head of the class looked a little bewildered, she
quickly made up her mind and stood. Or rather, she'd been pressured, in
response to Hirata's words.
"M-my name is…Inogashira Ko-Ko…"
"Do your best!"
"Don't panic! It's okay!"
"It's okay to go slowly. Don't rush."
"My name is Inogashira…Kokoro. Um, my hobby is sewing. I'm pretty good at knitting. I-It's nice to meet you all."
Now in next intro.One of the biggest lie in the history was told.
"I'm Yamauchi Haruki. I competed in table tennis during elementary
school, and in junior high I was the ace player on our baseball team. I was
number four. I got hurt during the inter-high school championships, though, and I'm undergoing rehab now. Nice to meet you."
It has got many insignificant and dishonest things in it. As expected of Yamagone.Wait he is not gone yet.
Than Yamagod.No he is like even lower than Ike.Then Yamadead.No he is alive.
Well anyway whatever happens I don't care but I think I will atleast try to save him during that situation.Be grateful.
"Well then, I'm next, aren't I?"
"My name is Kushida Kikyou. None of my friends from junior high made it to this school, so I'm alone here. I'd like to get to know all of your names and faces right away and become friends as soon as possible!"
Lie.
"My first goal is to become friends with everyone. So, after we're
finished with introductions, I'd love for you to share your contact information
with me!".
Well I guess half true.You'd love for it to gain trust.
"So, after school or during vacations, I want to make all sorts of
memories with lots of people. Please feel free to invite me to lots and lots of
events! Anyway, I've talked for a long time, so I'll end my introduction
here."
"Well then, next up is…"
"What, are we a bunch of little kids or something? I don't need to
introduce myself. People who want to do that can go ahead. Just leave me out
of it."
"I can't force you to introduce yourself, of course. However, I don't think that getting along with your classmates is a bad thing. If I've made you uncomfortable, I apologize."
When Hirata bowed his head, some of the girls glared at the guy with
red hair.
"Isn't it fine to introduce yourself?" one of them snapped.
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Shut it. I don't care. I didn't come here to make friends."
Sudo then got up from his seat. I knew it he had no intention of getting to know anyone. Several other students followed suit and left the classroom together. Horikita got up and briefly glanced my way. When she realized I wasn't moving, she started to walk out the door. Hirata looked a little lonely when he saw Horikita head out.
"They're not a bad bunch. It's my fault. I was being selfish and made people do this."
"No way. You didn't do anything wrong, Hirata-kun. Let's just leave
those guys be, okay?"
"I'm Ike Kanji. I love girls, and I hate pretty boys. I'm currently in the
market for a new girlfriend. It's nice to meet you! All the better if you're a
cutie or a beauty!"
Wow! Just wow! This guy sure has got guts of steel.
"Wow. You are so cool, Ike-kun," one girl said, in a completely emotionless voice.
Of course, her statement was 1000 percent false.
"Seriously? Seriously? Oh, man. I mean, I thought that I wasn't bad or anything, but…heh heh."
"Oh, wow. He's cute, huh, everyone? He's looking for a girlfriend!"
Dude, they're making fun of you.
"Excuse me, can you introduce yourself?" Hirata asked.
"Hmph. Fine."
He smirked like an aristocrat, displaying his impudent attitude.
"My name is Kouenji Rokusuke. As the sole male heir to the Kouenji
conglomerate group, I will soon be tasked with carrying Japan into the future. I sincerely look forward to making your acquaintance, ladies."
He aimed his introduction solely at the opposite sex.
"Starting today, I will mercilessly punish anyone who makes me
uncomfortable. Please exercise proper precaution so that you may avoid
that."
"Um, Kouenji-kun. What exactly do you mean when you say, 'anyone who makes me uncomfortable'?" asked Hirata, who looked uneasy at the word "punish."
"I meant exactly what I said. If asked to give an example, well… I would say I hate ugly things, for instance. So, if I saw something ugly, I would do just as I said."
"Ah, thank you. I will be careful then."
"Well then, time for the next person. Can you please introduce yourself?"
Clack! The chair rattled as I stood.
"My name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.It's a pleasure to meet you guys.I am talented in both physical and mental aspects in addition to academics.But I am physically more superior than other aspects.My hobbies are playing chess, instruments and also martial arts.Well for my future dreams I would like to be an politician or an important person in financial world just like my father.Once again it's a pleasure to meet you guys and let's hang out a lot and enjoy our students' life."
It's one of the best intro among other few intros I created in those 3 to 4 seconds.
Well my intro was a bit long but it was equal to or maybe a little bit less effective than Hirata's one. I prefer to be a little bit popular but with not only one sex but the both one.
"Nice to meet you too Ayanokouji-kun.I also want to enjoy our students' life. Let's both do our best."
AN If you found some parts disturbing then do criticize me so I can improve.If you have made it this far All I wanna say is Thank you very much.♥️✨🌟
