To clarify a few things, this fix will not contain any NSFW material, meaning any detailed sexual interactions like sex. However, there may and will be some bloody scenes that may not be safe for those over fifteen years of age, so best keep that in mind.
In regards to the harem, these are currently who I have in mind (Not Confirmed):
● Makise Kurisu
● Kirigiri Kyoko
● Horikita Suzune
I may add more in the future, but for right now, please enjoy this chapter!

After introductions were all done and dusted, they immediately all shifted over to the main topic at hand. That was... this school itself. It was no surprise that all of them had their suspicions, everything just seemed far too good, too good to be true that is.
"Alright, let's think here." Sora smirked as he started the conversation. "We have all concluded that the number of points we get isn't set in stone. The fact of the matter is, the number we get will most likely reflect based on our performance."
"Merit and value, correct?" Ryuga smiled as he chimed in. In response, Sora just chuckled as everyone turned to Ryuga. "That part really stood out. There'd be no need to mention that unless it related to what Karasuma-sensei was discussing. As Sora-san stated, the number of points we receive will be highly dependent on our performance which may very well die down if our 'value' drops."
"Exactly!" Sora nodded with a grin. He then casually waved his hand in front of his face. "However, whether or not that 'value' is something we all share together or as individuals is yet to be known, we'll just have to learn as time goes by."
"In other words, we'll have to keep in mind our behaviour in class. We don't know the repercussions if we were to misbehave." Kyoko added as she had turned her chair around to face everyone with her arms still folded. "Considering the number of cameras in the classroom alone, they'll be keeping a close eye on us."
"Not only that." Ryuga frowned a bit as he glanced up at the camera placed directly in the corner of the room. "They've not only got eyes on us from every necessary angle, but with the number of students in our class, it's only that much easier to keep an eye on each of us."
"But..." Kurisu seemed to get everyone's attention as they glanced over at her, to which they saw her holding her chin in thought. "Why wouldn't Karasuma-sensei tell us important information like that? It seems far too important to leave vague."
"It's because he can't." Izayoi decided to speak up, his expression remaining as smug as always. His arms were crossed behind his head as he leaned back a bit in his chair. "Not sure if you noticed, but sensei specifically said 'That's all I can say to you for this period'. Which seems to suggest that there is a limit to what we can be told."
"That is assuming that we take every word he says as literally as possible." Sora shrugged. "I have to agree with you, Izayoi. Considering this is also an elite school, the most elite I might add, then the chances of their words holding their weight in gold is quite high."
●●●●●●●●●●●●
As they were all busy discussing within the classroom, Karasuma had actually not left the area, instead having opted to keep himself hidden outside of the classroom beside the door. As he listened to them talk, the more impressed he became.
'With the limited amount of information they were given, they managed to come to such conclusions this fast.' Karasuma crossed his arms as his eyes narrowed slightly. 'It's just like they said, perhaps these kids may very well become the strongest pillars for this nation's evolution.'
Don't get him wrong, there were other exceptional students located within other classrooms, but these six, in particular, seemed to stand out compared to them. Karasuma had been given an in-depth explanation of each of their backgrounds, which also gave him some insight into why the government seemed to prioritise them so much.
Makise Kurisu, an absolute genius when it comes to academics, especially within the field of science. Her talent within the field could be considered entirely unrivalled, her knowledge already surpassing that of already accomplished scientists.
Kirigiri Kyoko, a supposedly master detective who began working at a very young age, and has already solved numerous cases of all kinds. Let it be kidnappings or even murder, she's solved them. It wasn't just her observational and deductive skills that shined, even her academic abilities were genius.
Sakamaki Izayoi... he was most definitely one of the more unusual of them. A proven genius when it came to academics, but especially shined when it came to physical activity. His strength was inhuman, said to be capable of easily fighting and throwing those more than five times his own weight.
Karasuma was no slouch when it came to fighting, and his own physical strength already bordered that of being inhuman. However, Izayoi was a mere teenager, yet he couldn't help but feel inferior after hearing about Izayoi's physical capabilities.
Next were Sora and Shiro, even enigmatic compared to Izayoi. In fact, even the government weren't too knowledgeable about them. Supposedly, these two possessed mental capabilities beyond imagination, although lacked severely in the physical department.
According to the report.
Sora, although a genius in his own right, truly shined when it came to analysing and understanding the emotions and psychology of other beings. Shiro, on the other hand, was a super-computer in human form, capable of extremely complex calculations within mere seconds.
'Tenshi Ryuga...'
Karasuma paused for a moment after this name crossed his mind, that boy was the absolute most enigmatic among them all. From the report alone, Karasuma could only call Ryuga a complete monster. Although the boy didn't actively show it, his talents were limitless from what could be observed.
Countless achievements were listed within the report, achievements that were accounted for within all kinds of fields, let them be physical or not. Ryuga would be what you'd consider a natural genius... no, a natural monster that is only born within each cycle of civilization.
Meaning, he is a type of monster only born once every time human civilization will eventually have to restart from scratch and rebuild itself. In other words, he couldn't ever hope to see another like Ryuga in his lifetime.
The scariest thing was the fact that the reports say that all of his achievements were supposed done on a whim, achieved entirely on the pretext of being bored. That only made his natural talent that much scarier to Karasuma.
Karasuma was beginning to truly see why he had been sent here to observe these six students, perhaps he'd be capable of nurturing them to becoming the very foundations in which this nation will rise to new heights.
'Class-X, huh? Let's see just how far they'll go.'
With that, Karasuma let a small smirk form on his face before walking away down the hall.
●●●●●●●●●●●●
"To sum it all up." Ryuga calmly stated as he then relaxed his body before leaning back in his chair. "We should all be on our best behaviour until we know more, to avoid any unnecessary complications."
"Agreed." Kyoko nodded. "On another note, it'd be best for us to discuss the matter regarding our class. Why is it that we're so much different to the other students here? Not only our class, but even our schedules for today."
"Not much to talk about really." Izayoi chuckled. "We don't know nearly enough to make a conclusive decision on why. At the very most, we can only conclude that we're in one way or another special. If I'm right to assume, our class has a specific purpose."
"Specific purpose?" Kurisu blinked in confusion. "You mean we may play a vital role in future for this school?"
"That or we're guinea pigs." Shiro spoke up for the first time, although her voice was incredibly soft, everyone could still hear her though. "Classes start tomorrow, we should get going."
"Agreed, then I shall be excusing myself." Kyoko stated simply as she stood up from her chair. After pushing her chair back in, she immediately headed for the door after grabbing her bag, although stopped to look back at everyone. "I'm sure I don't need to say this, but try and collect as much information as possible. We'll share our findings at a later date."
"Yeah, yeah!" Izayoi grinned as he and the others all began getting up as well. "I'm gonna hit the arcade first then, maybe there will be something fun there."
"The arcade, huh?" Sora voiced. "Then Shiro and I will join you, just to see if you're any good."
"You sure?" Izayoi gave a small laugh before giving Sora a challenging look, to which the latter returned with just as much intensity. "I'm bold enough to say that I've been keeping a record of not losing. That won't be changing anytime soon."
"Really? What a coincidence!" Sora chuckled. "Blank has also never lost, so I guess we're both gone undefeated. Though, that won't last long. Blank never loses, especially when it comes to games!"
"Looking forward to it then!"
"Don't spend too much, you three..." Kurisu sighed a bit after seeing their little 'argument'. "We still don't know fully how the allocation of points works."
"We know!"
"Loud and clear, Lab Girl!"
Kurisu didn't react much to the nickname Izayoi gave her, but she did twitch her eyebrow a bit after hearing it.
As their 'argument' continued, Kyoko had already left the room while both Kurisu and Ryuga soon followed after her example. Izayoi, Sora, and Shiro seemed to already have the rest of their day planned, and as for Ryuga, he was going to be hitting the shops.
With their newly allocated points for this starting month, he'd definitely need to go and buy some necessities. While unspoken, everyone in the class already understood that it'd be best for them to manage their spending until more information is revealed.
●●●●●●●●●●●●
The reason for the classes being delayed until tomorrow, at least for first-year students, was mainly because the school wanted them to have the time to familiarise themselves with the school grounds as well as get themselves comfortable.
On top of that, like most of the other students, Ryuga was now buying the necessary supplies for his daily use. Until he fully understood, or at least mostly understood the point system, he'd refrain from spending too many points.
To do so, Ryuga had only just entered one of the nearby convenience stores. While it wasn't a fancy shop or anything, the items it sold were of good quality, far better compared to your average convenience store out there.
Not only that, they were cheap.
'I wonder how the others are doing right now...' Ryuga couldn't help but wonder as he walked through the different aisles of the store. He doubted any of them were uselessly spending, they were all aware of their current situation. 'Ah, here they are.'
Ryuga stopped walking until he came across the aisle where all the bathroom items were stocked, things such as shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste and more. Scanning his eyes over the available items, it didn't take him long to choose a few things.
"Excuse me."
Ryuga heard a rather dull and cold voice enter his ears, to which he turned his gaze to the side to see a female with long black hair staring at him with a look of indifference on her face. Her rather sharp red eyes stared directly into him, with a constant sense of coldness.
"Ah, my apologies." Ryuga immediately understood what she wanted as he stepped to the left, allowing her to reach out and grab a few items from the shelf herself. Seeing what she took, Ryuga smiled a bit. "You must be decently perceptive."
"Hm?" The female looked a bit confused after hearing his words, her mouth frowning a bit as her cold gaze once again shifted to look at him as he continued looking at the items. "And what do you mean by that?"
"You're buying items that are rather cheap, no?" Ryuga chuckled a bit as he glanced down at the shopping basket she had hanging on her arm. "If I'm not mistaken, you look around the same age as me. So, perhaps you're also a first-year student. If that's the case, then you really must be quite perceptive."
"And what does being a first-year have anything to do with being perceptive?" The female asked with the usual dull tone as she turned her eyes back to the shelf. Seeing this, Ryuga could only give a small laugh. "What's so funny?"
"It's awfully suspicious." Ryuga didn't answer her second question, instead focusing on the first as he took hold of a blue toothbrush from one of the hooks on the shelf. "A hundred thousand points a month, overdoing it a bit on the school's part, don't you think?"
The girl didn't seem to respond, instead opted to stare at Ryuga's face with her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. After a bit of time, she looked away before closing her eyes as a small sigh seemed to escape her mouth.
"Your name?"
"Tenshi Ryuga."
"Horikita Suzune." The female introduced herself simply, just as much as he did. Neither of them saw any reason to give anything else, it was just a simple one-to-one introduction. "Now, about what you said. It is rather suspicious, it makes no- oh, it's you."
"Yeah, it's me."
Ryuga and Suzune looked to the side to see a male their age with hair as well as eyes that were brown in colour, though his eyes seemed rather apathetic. In his right hand was a simple white plastic bag, most likely holding whatever items he may have purchased from here.
"Your friend?"
"Not even close." Suzune seemed to scoff a bit as she said this. "He's just one of my classmates, there's no need to pay him any attention."
"That's rather cold of you." The brown-haired male spoke in an indifferent tone. "I'm surprised you actually talked with anyone, you don't seem the type to actually try and communicate with any other individual. Nor capable of really."
"For your information, neither are you. And was that supposed to be an insult to me?"
"Not really my intention." The male replied with a sigh before looking at Ryuga. "I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Ayanokoji-san. I'm Tenshi Ryuga."
"So, mind telling me why you decided to interrupt our conversation?" Suzune seemed to intercept as she directed this question at Kiyotaka. Hearing the question, Kiyotaka turned to face her. "If you don't have a reason, then you can leave."
"I didn't really have a reason, but it would be good to know your name. We'll be spending the next three years as classmates, even sitting next to each other, so it'd be inconvenient to for me not to even know your name."
"...Horikita Suzune."
"Horikita? Like the person who talked at the entrance ceremony?"
"..."
Ryuga remained silent as he watched their conversation continue, to which he could only listen with a bit of an amused look on his face. These two were certainly a pair of characters, perhaps some to keep note of for future reference.
Suzune proved to be somewhat perceptive considering how she was buying relatively cheap items, and the fact that Kiyotaka was also here in the convenience store instead of a more expensive place also showed that he too possessed a good sense of awareness of the situation.
"Hm?" Ryuga soon noticed something as he turned his head. Looking down, he saw an assortment of items placed into a relatively large 'cage' with a signboard that read out 'Items on this table (FREE) (Up to 3 per month)'. "Now this is interesting."
His words seemed to catch the other two individual's attention as they walked over to see what he was looking at. When they did, Suzune seemed to give a small reaction while Kiyotaka didn't really seem to react in any way.
"These items are free?" Suzune spoke in a bit of a dumbfounded tone.
"I guess they're for those who end up using all their points for the month?"
"A hundred thousand points in a month? That's ridiculous." Suzune seemed rather unbelieving towards Kiyotaka's words. No surprise there, exhausting that much within a month was a bit ridiculous. "Who in their right mind would do something that stupid?"
"You never know, this school is full of teenagers."
"That... you have a point." Suzune seemed to accept Ryuga's words. His words were sound, teenagers really could be stupid when it came to money management. "Even so, it's still ridiculous no matter what. I can never understand those people."
"Whatever the case, you can never turn away free items." Ryuga chuckled as he took three of those items for himself. Following his example, the other two seemed to agree before picking a few out as well. 'Free items, and over half of them are already gone, and considering it's the start of the month... I think I get it now.'
"You're leaving?" Kiyotaka asked as he saw Ryuga turning to walk away.
"Naturally, there's no reason else for me to stay." Ryuga responded casually as he walked over towards the counter. Since Suzune also was finished choosing her times, she soon followed as Kiyotaka joined in. "Oh, Izayoi-san."
Both Kiyotaka and Suzune heard Ryuga and turned their heads to see him staring at a blonde student in front of the store, and from what they could see, the blonde seemed to have just scared off a group of three students while another person they both recognised just stared as the blonde walked in.
"Hey there, Dragon King!"
"Nice to see you, Izayoi-san. And Dragon King, really?"
"What? That's what your name pretty means, right?" Izayoi gave a hearty chuckle as he stopped in front of the group. Izayoi then looked at the other two with a curious look, a grin then spreading across his face. "Moving fast, are we? Nice to see you got a girlfriend on your first day, Dragon King!"
"Don't call me that, just call me Tenshi or Ryuga."
"Whatever you say."
"Do not make such ridiculous assumptions." Suzune narrowed her eyes as she stared at Izayoi with an icy look, to which the blonde merely shrugged with a chuckle. "Who are you even supposed to be?"
"The unrefined and dangerous Sakamaki Izayoi, a pleasure to meet you!"
"Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and that's Horikita Suzune."
"Don't go introducing me without my permission!" Suzune seemed visibly annoyed as she gave Kiyotaka another glare, the male just blinked in response. "Especially not to someone like this. I do not want to associate myself with such ruffians."
"Ruffian, huh? That is another word that describes me, yes!"
"Here to buy some supplies, Izayoi-san?" Ryuga sighed a bit as he decided to change the topic of the conversation. "And what's with the commotion outside? You didn't happen to pick a fight on your first day of school, did you?"
"They were just blocking the entrance, can't blame me for giving them a bit of a scare." Izayoi shrugged with a nonchalant look on his face. "To answer your first question, yes. Don't want to miss out on buying some things before the sun fully sets. Really spent a bit too much time in the arcade."
"Oh, right. How'd it go?"
"Not bad, Sora wasn't kidding when he said he and Shiro were good at games. I either lost or tied with them, though I'm not giving up." Izayoi responded as a small challenging look flashed across his face. "You done here already?"
"Yep, just finished. In any case, I'm heading off. See you all some other time."
Kiyotaka gave a simple nod while Suzune didn't respond in any way, instead just stepping up to the counter after Ryuga finished. In Izayoi's case, he gave Ryuga a small wave.
With that, Ryuga gave them a small wave as he began walking towards the entrance of the store. As the doors opened, Ryuga paused for a moment before turning his head to look back over his shoulder.
"Izayoi-san, make sure to get your three items. Don't wanna miss out."
Although the blonde didn't understand what he meant, Izayoi still kept his usual smug smile before nodding.
