Houtarou Oreki's Classroom of the Elite

Houtarou Oreki's Classroom of the Elite by Youyuye

Introduction:

Houtarou Oreki is admitted to the High School of Advanced Education and assigned to Class A.

Possessing keen insight, he quickly realizes the unique nature of this school.

Just as he finds it troublesome, he awakens a system that grants superpower rewards for completing tasks.

Teleportation allows him to go home and lie in bed whenever he wants, while invisibility can erase his presence.

This life seems pretty good, very energy-efficient.

Then, he gains telepathy.

Sakayanagi Arisu: This school is so boring, but Houtarou is interesting. I can "play" with him a little.

Horikita Suzune: Houtarou, who doesn't study at all, still scores higher than me. As expected.

Chapter 1 Houtarou Oreki, in Class A!

Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Advanced Education.

Funded by the government, it boasts a 100% rate of advancement to higher education and employment, with all tuition fees waived.

That's right, you heard that correctly: no tuition fees.

It is simply incredible. It is the most prestigious school in the eyes of all students and parents.

And April 1st is the day for new students to enroll.

A crowd of new students stands in their pre-assigned positions in the gymnasium, lined up according to their classes.

In the Class A formation.

A handsome youth with green eyes is observing his surroundings.

He has already discovered something different.

For instance.

The entrance ceremony is like this.

It is entirely hosted by the Student Council.

The student council president is a bespectacled man with a sharp gaze, and his speech is brief but powerful.

"Our school is an academy that values both academics and martial arts, where ability is supreme—"

"To be able to become a member of this school, I, for the time being, acknowledge your abilities—"

Judging by his words, he seems to be constantly emphasizing "ability."

It is as if he is conveying some kind of message.

If one observes carefully, one will find places that feel out of place.

For example, despite it being an entrance ceremony, there is not a single faculty member present.

There isn't even a segment for the principal's address.

It is handled entirely by the Student Council.

So, is this also a manifestation of the "ability is supreme" philosophy mentioned by the student council president?

Perhaps the school has delegated power to the students, allowing them a high degree of autonomy.

Therefore, the school has completely become a stage for students to showcase themselves.

In other words, this is not an ordinary school.

So, as expected, he has come to a troublesome place.

The above is the information Houtarou Oreki has deduced.

Houtarou Oreki, a first-year student, 18 years old. He has been assigned to the Class A formation.

He stands at the front of the row of boys in Class A.

He has soft, short hair, emerald green eyes, and exceptionally handsome features. It is easy for him to attract the attention of some girls.

He has some achievements in terms of academic ability and insight.

But Houtarou considers himself just an ordinary boy.

He advocates for "not doing what is unnecessary, and simplifying what must be done."

In other words, he wants to conserve energy.

This school is different, but the situation is not too bad.

Because.

"Now, will the new students please exit in the order of classes A, B, C, and D." The student council president puts down the microphone.

The student council president, who loves to leak information, has provided new intel once again.

In the order of the classes, Class A takes priority.

It can be understood that Class A is the most excellent. The quality of the students in Class A is very high.

Therefore, while he is evaluated as excellent, the other 39 students in Class A should not be inferior either.

This means that even if there is some troublesome matter or something difficult to handle, there are 39 other excellent classmates to support him.

After all, his classmates are very excellent.

Thinking this way.

He followed the line as it moved forward.

When Class A lined up, they formed one line for girls and one for boys, but they moved together as two lines during the evacuation.

Therefore, the girls' line was on his Left hand side.

However.

After walking only a few steps.

He noticed that the footsteps of a figure seemed unsteady, so he instinctively reached out and grabbed the person's arm.

With a bang.

A cane hit the ground.

"Ara, my apologies, I've troubled you."

The person let out a quite sweet voice.

She was also very polite.

This was a girl with silver hair.

The girl was extremely beautiful.

Her skin was quite fair. Her eyes were like jewels.

With her cute appearance and high-quality silver hair, one would really want to touch it.

It could be said that this was the cutest type of girl Oreki had ever seen since he was born.

She was a girl from his own class.

And the person appeared very petite.

She was not very tall, and at the same time, it seemed she needed to hold a cane to move slowly.

Her health was probably not very good.

Oreki crouched down to pick up the cane and handed it to her.

Then he tried hard not to look at her face.

Actually, Oreki had been avoiding this point all along.

Standing in the line, he had already discovered another incredible aspect of this school.

That is...

There are many top-tier beautiful girls in this school.

Top-tier beautiful girls, that is... the type that would be class beauties or school idols.

Oreki had attended school in the past and had seen a bit of the world; he didn't think such beautiful girls were a dime a dozen.

But the reality is that such beautiful girls are everywhere in this school.

Especially in the direction of the first-year Class D, where the Student Council president would subconsciously glance from time to time.

In Class D alone, there are at least 10 girls with quite outstanding appearances.

It is simply incredible.

However, in terms of cuteness alone, this silver-haired girl in his own class might take first place.

"My name is Sakayanagi Arisu." After taking the cane Oreki handed over, she introduced herself.

Sakayanagi Arisu gripped the cane, seemingly regaining some strength.

"My health was not very good in the past, so I didn't have many opportunities to walk outside, and now looking at it, whether I can continue to stay in school with such a frail body needs to be reconsidered."

Oh.

Is that so.

So, isn't that quite pitiful?

Moreover.

In that case, there is a slight problem.

From the Student Council president and the atmosphere of this school, it can be concluded that Class A is the most prioritized and excellent.

And Sakanagi-san is also a student of Class A.

In other words, she should have also received an excellent evaluation.

It's just that her physical ability is almost the worst... so how did she get into Class A?

No.

If the criteria for evaluation isn't solely based on academic ability or physical fitness, then if the school allows Sakanagi to be in Class A despite her physical frailty, it must mean that Sakanagi is terrifyingly strong in other areas.

Her excellence in other areas has already overshadowed her physical weakness.

In other words, is Sakanagi actually the genius type?

"Are you pitying me?" Sakayanagi Arisu seems very adept at catching the expressions of others.

"..." Oreki.

There is a bit of pity, but Sakanagi might have guessed wrong.

Because what he is thinking about right now is.

The Sakanagi in front of him looks cute and adorable, and is very petite; although her body is rather frail, she is likely the type who is quite intelligent.

If Class A encounters anything in the future, Sakanagi will have enough wisdom to deal with it and be able to handle it.

And for Oreki, that is the most energy-efficient outcome.

And while he was thinking this.

[Sakayanagi Arisu is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.]

A notification sound suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Sakayanagi Arisu is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.]

This notification appeared two more times.

"..." Oreki.
