"It's your turn, student."
Hirata Yosuke smiled, radiating like brilliant sunlight, shining directly onto Hikigaya Hachiman in the dark corner, leaving him nowhere to hide.
Alas, there was no choice.
There are tis in reality when one is forced to comply.
Hikigaya Hachiman took a deep breath, ready to stand up.
"Bang!" The red-haired boy in the last row suddenly kicked his desk and yelled impatiently: "What's the point of self-introductions? Do you think we're little kids?"
Did this guy mistakenly think Hirata Yosuke was calling on him?
Or was he purely annoyed with Hirata?
Hikigaya Hachiman, whose self-introduction was interrupted, quietly sat back down.
Good Job, temperantal guy!
"Um, I just wanted everyone to get to know each other..."
Hirata Yosuke explained softly.
"Clack clack~"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels.
A female teacher dressed in a professional office lady outfit walked into the classroom. Her black hair was tied into a neat, high ponytail, and her serious expression, paired with spicy black sheer stockings, gave a strong visual sense of contrast.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Hikigaya Hachiman's mind: if she were wearing a white maid outfit, the impact might be even greater!
"Silence. Everyone return to your seats.
I am the horoom teacher for Class D, Chabashira Sae.
Classes will not change in this school.
I will serve as your horoom teacher for these three years until graduation.
First, I will hand out the information about this school...
This school has a special rule. First, it is a boarding system. During your ti here, going outside and all external communication are prohibited.
But there's no need to worry. The campus is equipped with all kinds of facilities.
You can buy all necessary daily necessities, and this, of course, includes entertainnt."
All of the above information was detailed in the student handbook, and most people had no questions.
However, never overestimate the intelligence of idiots.
"Eh—"
"Not being able to go out for three years, my parents will miss to death!"
"Exactly! I'm the main player in a professional tennis club outside of school. What if the club goes bankrupt without ?"
The abstract nature of Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki had already been witnessed during the self-introductions. This was just them performing normally.
"This information is public. Now I will talk about the school's unique S System..."
Chabashira Sae ignored the abstract duo.
She pulled out a customized student terminal phone from her pocket: "This is a specialized student terminal for the school, which can only be used for internal communication. It also integrates the functions of a student ID and a credit card.
Everything in this school can only be purchased through the student terminal.
The school will issue a certain amount of points to the terminal every month.
One point is equivalent to one yen..."
Following Chabashira Sae's instructions, everyone took out their student terminals. Upon opening them, they could see their personal information and a striking string of digits...
"Ten, ten thousand points?!"
"Does that an we have 100,000 yen?!"
"Are you serious?"
The classroom suddenly beca noisy!
This was understandable. For high school students, 100,000 yen was definitely a huge sum of money.
Even Hikigaya Hachiman's heart was pounding!
Even for his birthday, his parents' allowance didn't exceed two thousand yen.
And a large portion of that, Hikigaya Hachiman would use to make offerings to the world's cutest sister.
His own disposable pocket money was very little.
This 100,000 yen was enough for him to cover his sister's entire sumr vacation's food, drink, and entertainnt expenses!!
"Are you surprised by this huge amount of points?
This school asures students by ability.
The fact that you passed the interviewer's assessnt and entered this school ans you possess corresponding worth and potential."
I see.
Expectations for high-quality won, and the dream of being a househusband... we are actually considered so capable!
Hikigaya Hachiman found it hard to keep a straight face.
"Points represent the school's evaluation of you...
Please feel free to use them boldly and fully!
In this school, anything can be bought with points."
Chabashira Sae's words were full of inducent. By the end, the corners of her rosy lips couldn't help but turn up: "After all, this is a school where ritocracy is supre!"
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't tell if it was just his imagination, but he felt a certain coldness in Chabashira Sae's voice when she uttered the words "ritocracy is supre."
"Assemble in the gymnasium in one hour for the opening ceremony...
I wish you a pleasant school life."
Like an NPC nad "Horoom Teacher" who had completed her basic instruction mission, Chabashira Sae did not linger in Class D for a mont, turning and leaving in her high heels.
As soon as the horoom teacher left, the Class D classroom beca noisy again.
Everyone was excitedly discussing how they planned to spend their personal points worth 100,000 yen.
Seriously?
You don't doubt things that fall from the sky?
Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes remained gloomy.
His bad experiences from elentary school to middle school taught him to habitually assu the worst intentions in others.
Hikigaya Hachiman silently took out a pen and paper.
Although his math scores were terrible, he could still handle basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Calculating for a class of 40 people, with 100,000 points, or 100,000 yen, issued per person per month.
One class is 4 million. Four classes are 16 million. Three grades combined are 48 million.
Accumulated over three years, the total expenditure exceeds 1.7 billion! 1 Even with financial support from a governnt-enterprise collaboration, it's impossible for Advanced Nurturing to recklessly spend money so lavishly.
If this were a top-tier academy that only recruited geniuses, scattering a little money wouldn't be unreasonable.
But.
Do I qualify?
Hikigaya Hachiman asked himself honestly: No, he did not!
Do you all qualify?
Hikigaya Hachiman scanned the entire Class D.
It was now free ti.
Hirata Yosuke continued to host the self-introductions, specifically paying attention to the marginalized students. Even the temperantal red-haired guy, Sudo Ken, was no exception. Even when the other party swore at him aggressively, Hirata Yosuke did not give up, still using great patience to persuade him.
Kushida Kikyo seed to be fulfilling her declaration from the self-introduction ("I want to be friends with everyone"), going around to add contact information with all her classmates one by one.
To avoid being targeted by the kind Hirata, Hikigaya quietly slipped out of the classroom.
However, as soon as he stepped out, soone followed him...
"I refuse.
There's no need to make friends."
Horikita Suzune publicly and ruthlessly rejected Kushida Kikyo's "friend invitation," and then left under the astonished gaze of the crowd.
Hikigaya noticed that the angelic face of Kushida's was twitching wildly at the eyebrows. However, her expression managent was excellent, and she managed to suppress it.
