Classroom of the Elite, I Really Just Want to Collect All the CGs

For the entire duration of the meal, Shikime Natsu failed to trigger a single CG, which left him feeling quite disappointed. It seemed joining the Masumi Cult was not meant to be.

"Hey, what's with that disappointed look on your face while you're staring at me?"

Noticing Shikime Natsu's gaze, Kamuro Masumi felt quite annoyed. That look was just too rude, wasn't it?

"No, I was just spacing out, that's all."

Shikime Natsu brushed it off with a simple excuse.

"Are we supposed to head back to the classroom now for the self-introductions? But I really want to go back and sleep. As expected, once a person is full, they just want to nap."

Shikime Natsu let out a yawn, a wave of drowsiness washing over him.

This display left Kamuro Masumi with black lines on her forehead. How could this guy be so unreliable?

"You were the one who agreed to it. There are only twenty minutes left until the time we set."

Kamuro Masumi pulled out her phone and showed Shikime Natsu the message he had sent.

"Alright, alright, I get it. I didn't realize you were looking forward to the self-introduction segment so much, Masumi."

Shikime Natsu wore an intriguing smile.

"I am not!"

Kamuro Masumi was practically fuming. What on earth was this guy talking about?

Why did it always feel like they were on completely different wavelengths? Of course, Miss Kamuro had absolutely no desire to be on the same wavelength as Shikime Natsu anyway.

By the time the two returned to the classroom, there were already quite a few people inside.

"Ara, the two of you really are quite close, aren't you~"

Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze landed on Shikime Natsu and Kamuro Masumi. They had arrived together at the entrance ceremony, and in such a short time, their relationship had reached this point...

"That goes without saying. After all, we're seatmates, so it's normal for us to be on good terms."

Shikime Natsu nodded in agreement. He had no intention of hiding anything, and as for Kamuro Masumi, she didn't care what others thought at all, heading straight to her seat and putting on a "stay away" expression.

"Since everyone is mostly here, let's start with the self-introductions. Since I proposed it, I'll go first. My name is Shikime Natsu. I like many things, but I like collecting photos the most. I dislike Chinjao... I haven't thought of anything else for now. Alright, next person."

Shikime Natsu's gaze fell on the first student sitting near the door.

"Me? My name is Sanada. I don't have anything I particularly like, and as for things I dislike... I suppose it would be things that are too risky."

He was a bespectacled, rather gentle-looking boy. In terms of appearance, he was top-tier within this class. If Shikime Natsu were to evaluate him, it would be with the assessment of "below me."

Next came Machida Koji, Morishige Takuro... Kito Hayato... Yamamura Miki... Morishita Ai... (As Shiraishi Asuka and Nishikawa Ryoko are characters from the third-year arc, the author has not read them and they are prone to being OOC, so they will not be described in detail.)

Shikime Natsu checked for the cute girls in his class, as only cute girls would be selected for CGs. Of course, that was only one of the conditions; not every cute girl would be chosen.

"Alright, let's wrap it up here. Hashimoto, and Totsuka, I'll leave it to you two. Oh, and Hashimoto, you should pay attention to the number of students in the upper grades and see if every class has forty people."

With these simple words, Shikime Natsu really did look like he had the air of a leader.

"Understood, leave it to me."

Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled and agreed, a flash of joy in his eyes. It seemed... his leader knew something.

"If we can buy the school rules from the upperclassmen at a low price and then resell them, we'll make a fortune!"

Totsuka Yahiko was all smiles, seemingly already envisioning such a future. Even if they split the profits equally, it would improve their lives, not to mention that as long as they played the role of honest students, they would receive 100,000 points next month.

"I'm counting on you, Totsuka. Once you find a suitable target, leave the rest to me."

Shikime Natsu nodded. As for letting Totsuka Yahiko handle the negotiations directly, he felt it was rather unreliable.

"No problem!"

Totsuka Yahiko agreed immediately. This was his first mission, and he absolutely could not mess it up.

After the self-introductions concluded, the group began to leave, either in pairs or alone. After all, there was nothing left for them to do, and... having just arrived at this school, they wanted to look around.

"I hope there will be a good outcome."

Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled, her purple eyes fixed intently on Shikime Natsu. From that look, Shikime Natsu couldn't determine what kind of person she was. Of course, his cheat ability had already provided a judgment: "bratty girl."

From their current interactions, Sakayanagi Arisu could be considered quite normal. At least in Shikime Natsu's eyes, she was just a slightly clever person, nothing more.

"Indeed."

Shikime Natsu agreed in a perfunctory manner.

"Then... excuse me, I shall take my leave first."

Sakayanagi Arisu leaned on her cane and departed.

"I'm planning to go to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities. Would you like to come along?"

In the blink of an eye, only he and Kamuro Masumi were left in the classroom, and Shikime Natsu took the opportunity to ask.

"No need, I'm going back."

Kamuro Masumi refused without a moment's hesitation. Too many things had happened today, and she needed to sort out her thoughts.

"I see, that's truly a pity. I hope I can go to the convenience store with Masumi next time."

Shikime Natsu wore a look of regret on his face, but a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Yeah... that's really annoying.

"There won't be a chance!"

It was still a very blunt refusal.

However, after Kamuro Masumi gathered her school bag, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for Shikime Natsu.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Shikime Natsu looked at Kamuro Masumi, who was standing to the side looking somewhat unnatural, with a hint of amusement.

"I just feel sorry for you. The path to the dormitory and the convenience store happens to overlap for a bit."

Kamuro Masumi looked away as she explained.

"Alright, then thank you very much."

Shikime Natsu walked to Kamuro Masumi's side and put on a grateful expression, which made Kamuro Masumi slightly want to punch him.

"Don't you need to take your things?"

Kamuro Masumi looked at Shikime Natsu's empty hands and couldn't help but remind him.

"No, that's not necessary. I'll just leave my bag here; there's nothing in it anyway."

Shikime Natsu shook his head, and the two walked out one after the other.

By the time they reached the convenience store, Kamuro Masumi really didn't wait for Shikime Natsu and left straight away on her own.

In a sense, this could be considered keeping her word.

He ignored Kamuro Masumi, as Shikime Natsu truly needed to buy some daily necessities.

"I was wondering why I felt a chill the moment I stepped into the convenience store. So it's because I ran into a pervert... Horikita."

Shikime Natsu instinctively wanted to say the word "pervert," but under Horikita Suzune's predatory gaze, he swallowed it back.

"That cold joke wasn't funny at all!"

Chapter 12: Let's become friends once you've cured your chuunibyou and pervert tendencies

Today's luck could truly be described as terrible. He never expected to run into this annoying person twice. Just now, this guy definitely wanted to blurt out the word "pervert," right?

Forget it, don't pay attention to this guy. Just finish buying her things and leave.

Horikita Suzune made a secret decision in her heart not to get involved with this guy. She had a feeling that getting too deeply entangled with him would lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"By the way, the student council president is your brother, right?"

Shikime Natsu's gaze landed on the other daily necessities in the convenience store. He hadn't noticed them when he first arrived. He didn't expect there to be free items; it seems that as long as one is in this school, there is at least a minimum standard of living guaranteed, so one wouldn't end up as miserable as someone living on the streets.

The dormitory air conditioning could also be turned on at will, which was quite comfortable.

After Shikime Natsu finished this sentence, he didn't receive a reply from Horikita Suzune, so he looked up and glanced at her. Her expression seemed a bit off.

"How... how did you know?"

Horikita Suzune spoke, and a trace of panic appeared in those wine-red eyes. If this guy in front of her really told her brother about the "pervert" label, what would she do?

"You two have the same surname, so generally, one would suspect it. Plus, you give off a similar vibe..."

Hearing Shikime Natsu say that she was very similar to her brother, a flash of joy couldn't help but cross Horikita Suzune's heart. She had always been imitating her brother, following in his footsteps. Even this long hair was something she grew because her brother said he liked it... She didn't expect this guy who only spouted nonsense to sometimes be quite good at talking.

"Of course, if you say you aren't alike, that's also true, after all, you are..."

"Shut up! Don't talk to me anymore!"

Hearing that Shikime Natsu was about to say those two words, Horikita Suzune quickly stopped him. Sure enough, nothing good ever comes out of a dog's mouth. If only she had a compass in her hand right now.

"Oh, and that student by the cart, what's your name?"

Shikime Natsu's gaze passed over Horikita Suzune and moved to the poker-faced man by the cart. It really was quite a coincidence; he wondered if he could meet another angel.

"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka noticed the other person's gaze and instinctively replied.

(Am I actually worth someone taking the initiative to ask for my name?)

"There are many free items here. If you need anything, you can take them for free. Of course, it says [at most three items per month] on the sign."

Shikime Natsu pointed to the free daily necessities area nearby.

"This school is really quite lenient toward students. Not only do we get 100,000 points every month, but even if you spend most of your points at the beginning of the month, there are still free items."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka spoke calmly, his eyes showing no emotional fluctuations; he seemed to be stating a fact that couldn't be simpler.

"Yeah, it's really great to be able to enter this school. It feels like we're here entirely to enjoy ourselves."

Shikime Natsu chuckled. It seems... Class D hasn't leaked any information either. In other words, they are all on the same starting line.

"100,000 points a month, plus subsidies—this school spoils its students too much."

Horikita Suzune gave a light huff, her eyes also landing on these items.

"By the way, since we've run into each other again, why don't we exchange contact information?"

Shikime Natsu took out his phone, walked in front of the two, and wore a smile.
