Black room, white room? None are as good as my gray room!

(Brain Storage, Free Upgrade Assistance, Haiya Guaranteed)

Tennoji Kaede waited for a long time at the station and finally saw the special bus slowly approaching with his own eyes--

The exclusive bus to Advanced Nurturing High School.

Tennoji Kaede composed himself and stepped onto the bus, his eyes met with students wearing bright red school uniforms.

His gaze swept across, and he quickly spotted a robust, strikingly blonde man in a heart-shaped seat in the front row.

Tennoji Kaede knew his name, Kouenji Rokusuke, whom fellow readers colloquially called "Beautiful Bro."

This was perhaps the only character in the original work who managed to stay true to his characterization throughout...

[Host detected entering plot]

[Haiya Karma System officially activated, functions being implemented...]

As expected, his Haiya System needed the grand stage of Shijiao to be unlocked.

Tennoji Kaede was a very common type of isekai protagonist. In his previous life, he was named Jiang Feng and came from a mysterious ancient Eastern country.

As soon as he transmigrated to the island nation, the Haiya System popped up.

At first, he couldn't understand what "Haiya" in the system's name referred to.

And the system remained completely unresponsive, just hanging there with a name.

It made Tennoji Kaede almost think the system was the type that would only unlock after more than a decade, making him want to give up and throw himself in front of a truck for another rebirth.

It wasn't until he received the acceptance letter to the school that prioritized physical prowess that he suddenly realized he had arrived in a world with the Shijiao worldview.

He immediately stopped his daily routine of 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, and happily prepared for the entrance martial arts competition.

The Haiya System was indeed unlocked because he entered the plot, and all truths were revealed!

If Shijiao has its ultimate masterpieces, the Black Room and White Room, then it's not too much for him to have a Haiya System, right?

Tennoji Kaede casually chose an empty seat in the front row and sat down. The bus shifted gears and started moving.

[Function implementation complete!]

[This system is dedicated to making the host the ultimate masterpiece of the Haiya!]

[Detected Black Room 100-point masterpiece 'Kouenji Rokusuke']

[Karma marker for 'Kouenji Rokusuke' has been deployed]

[Karma Marker: When the host comes into contact with an original character, this marker can be deployed. The more 'causes' the target has to focus on the host, the more 'effects' will be reaped.]

[Example 'Cause': Kouenji Rokusuke is satisfied that upon first glance upon boarding the bus, you noticed his handsomeness among everyone in the carriage, and approved of your aesthetic.]

[Example 'Effect': Personality Charm +5, Eyesight +5]

[Basic stats for a normal human are measured in units of 10]

Tennoji Kaede immediately felt his whole body relax, and his vision cleared.

Normal people's stats are only 10, and he gained 50% more charm and eyesight just by eliciting a shred of recognition from Kouenji Rokusuke?

As expected of a Black Room's 100-point masterpiece, "Beautiful Bro," you're too amazing!

Tennoji Kaede subconsciously glanced at the blonde man on his left again, but this time, no 'effect' was produced.

As expected, the blonde man only pays attention to ordinary people for a fleeting moment.

Tennoji Kaede didn't feel any regret. As long as he entered Advanced Nurturing, he wasn't afraid of not getting help with stat boosts from original characters?

Heh heh heh...

The bus drove for a while, and there was some movement of passengers.

Tennoji Kaede noticed that this special bus wasn't exclusively for students; it also picked up some ordinary people who weren't Shijiao students along the way. This was quite common.

They wanted to earn more money, after all. Specialization can become diluted, it's understandable.

After passing a few stops, he noticed that several of the future first-year Class D elites had also boarded the bus. It was likely that the classic plot would begin soon!

"Um, could you please give up the heart-shaped seat?" a soft request sounded in the ears of the passengers, and many people's expressions changed.

Here it comes, the classic Shijiao opening, the "seat-giving dilemma"!

Tennoji Kaede silently watched this moment as the text turned into reality.

This troublesome seat-giving incident stemmed from Kushida Kikyo's false persona.

She wanted Kouenji Rokusuke to give up the heart-shaped seat to an elderly person, but our "Beautiful Bro" refused with the perfect reason that "if a person stands, they get tired."

And the original protagonist, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was sitting in the back of the carriage, commented from on high:

"Make the elderly suffer a little, yield to the young. This is for the future of society. Beautiful Bro is not wrong."

Hiss... Transmigrator Tennoji Kaede recalled this and gasped.

He suddenly felt speechless about "Lu Ge's" novel judgment.

Compared to "Lu Ge's" opinion, Horikita Suzune, who was in the adjacent seat and was suspected to be the heroine, was the real heavyweight!

She genuinely believed that whoever gave up their seat was a complete idiot.

Normally, when faced with such a situation, a person's first thought would be to avoid giving up their seat, feeling awkward about it.

You have to admit, Horikita Suzune is quite something.

In reality, the commotion on the train carriage, as expected, reached a stalemate. Kushida Kikyo, feigning helplessness, looked around, searching for a way out of the situation.

An opportunity presented itself, and Tennoji Kaede seized the moment.

To have the system place a causality marker was actually quite simple; a greeting or even an introduction would suffice.

However, he surmised that to obtain more high-quality 'fruits' in the future, the first impression would be crucial.

This moment was perfect. Helping the scheming girl out of a tight spot would surely leave a deep impression on Kushida Kikyo in her future school life.

Tennoji Kaede stood up and said to the flustered Kushida Kikyo:

"I got on the train early, my legs have gone numb. Please." He gestured, offering his seat.

[Detected Black Room 95-point masterpiece 'Kushida Kikyo']

[Causality marker for 'Kushida Kikyo' has been placed]

['Cause': Kushida Kikyo feels a hint of gratitude for your timely offer, then is amazed by your handsome appearance, her inner affection soaring]

['Fruit': Charisma +20, Deception +50]

What a super drama queen... just as expected!

At this moment, Tennoji Kaede's facial expression deception ability had increased fivefold compared to a normal person!

Perfectly concealing his true emotions at this moment.

"Thank you." After the incident was resolved, Kushida Kikyo stood beside Tennoji Kaede, a faint fragrance lingering around her. "I'm Kushida Kikyo, a freshman this year. Thank you for helping me out of that situation just now... Um, if it's convenient..."

A beautiful girl immediately reveals her name and acts cute towards you; the impact is quite significant. Fortunately, I'm from Haiya, and I'm not familiar with the true Black Room.

"My name is Tennoji Kaede, also a freshman at the Higher Education this year. I just did it on impulse, so Classmate Kushida doesn't need to take it too much to heart."

['Cause': Kushida Kikyo's affection for you has risen again, and her long-awaited reborn school life is now filled with beautiful fantasies]

['Fruit': Charisma +1, Deception +1, Memory +1]

This time it even added a bit of memory?

Is the Haiya system trying to hint to Classmate Kushida: stop dreaming about your rebirth, your old classmate Horikita is sitting in the back row, hurry up and remember?

Heh heh! Tennoji Kaede chuckled inwardly.

Indeed, whether it's Black Room or White Room, none of them compare to his Haiya!
