Youth is a lie, and it is also a cruel trap.
It lures handsome men and beautiful women into falling for those boring games of love.
Of course, this is limited to the handsome and the beautiful; everyone else is relegated to being mere background scenery...
"Damn it! What kind of plot is this? Even if I let my grandma write it, she'd do a better job than this!"
Bai Yuze threw the novel in his hand away in a fit of anger.
This person was named Bai Yuze. His appearance was decent enough, but his obsession with reading novels and watching anime gave him a "dead otaku" aura that suppressed his natural looks, which was why he had never fallen into any of those romantic traps.
Bai Yuze glared at the novel on the floor. Judging by the cover, the boy was reading a book titled Classroom of the Elite.
The reason for the boy's anger was obvious: the original author's plot was absolute trash.
"What the hell! Is this supposed to be a battle of wits novel? It looks more like a vocational school brawl to me! The author just needs to churn out garbage, but the readers are the ones who have to suffer through it!"
The boy grumbled, flopping onto his bed. The novels and anime merchandise scattered around the room further confirmed his status as a hardcore otaku.
"Sigh! This battle of wits story is meaningless. To think I had such high expectations for it, and this is the result... tsk tsk tsk!"
The boy rolled over and buried his head in his quilt.
BOOM!
A loud noise echoed, causing Bai Yuze to lift his head. He muttered to himself in confusion.
"It's the middle of the night; is someone upstairs doing renovations?"
Zzzzt!
The lights in the room went out.
"You've got to be kidding me? A power outage???"
Bai Yuze sat up, and it was at the exact moment he sat up that he saw a light source on the floor.
Bai Yuze rubbed his eyes, feeling a sense of disbelief; after all, books shouldn't have the ability to glow.
"Are there really golden houses in books? And did the golden house just light up?"
Bai Yuze approached cautiously, reaching out to grab a wooden sword. He had bought it after watching Gintama, though it was mostly used to hold down the lid of his instant noodles...
Bai Yuze poked the glowing novel with Lake Toya. After confirming that nothing strange happened, he finally felt at ease enough to get closer.
It was at that moment, just as Bai Yuze picked up the glowing novel, that his mind began to drift into a daze.
"Damn it!" Bai Yuze protested unwillingly. "My instant noodles and figures! And my... browsing history..."
The boy lost consciousness, and the light grew even more intense, gradually enveloping Bai Yuze's entire body!
"Classmate! Classmate! Are you okay?"
Bai Yuze vaguely heard someone calling out to him. He opened his eyes, the ringing in his ears still jangling his nerves. Bai Yuze felt as if his brain were about to explode!
Bai Yuze clutched his head, waiting a long while for the pain to subside.
"Classmate, do you need me to call for help?"
A pleasant voice caught Bai Yuze's attention. He turned his head and found a girl with an angelic face and a graceful figure looking at him with concern.
Bai Yuze froze.
It wasn't because he was captivated by the girl's beauty, but because he realized the girl in front of him was the "fake angel" Kushida Kikyo from Classroom of the Elite!
With a character from a 2D world suddenly standing before him, Bai Yuze's brain crashed, causing him to overlook the fact that he could somehow understand Japanese.
Seeing that Bai Yuze didn't respond, Kushida Kikyo waved her hand in front of him and pulled out her phone.
"You look like you're in a lot of pain. I'll make a call."
As she spoke, Kushida Kikyo began to dial. Bai Yuze finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly stopped her.
"No need! I'm fine, I just had a bit of low blood sugar."
Bai Yuze scrambled to invent an excuse; right now, brushing this off was the most important thing!
Although Kushida Kikyo was skeptical, after Bai Yuze's persistent persuasion, she finally put her phone away.
The two began to get acquainted thanks to the small incident.
Bai Yuze took the opportunity to observe his surroundings and realized he was on a bus. The commotion from earlier had caused quite a few people to cast their gazes toward them.
However, although many were watching, apart from Kushida Kikyo, no one else had any intention of helping.
What a bunch of problem children...
Bai Yuze thought to himself. As for the book Classroom of the Elite, Bai Yuze knew it all too well; he remembered the personalities of every character clearly.
One could say the only thing that kept Bai Yuze reading was the character designs...
However, knowing the plot, Bai Yuze was also aware that he was on his way to the Advanced Nurturing High School. Thinking of this, Bai Yuze asked the girl beside him, Kushida Kikyo.
"Classmate, which class are you in?"
"Eh? Me? I'm in Class D! How about you, classmate?"
Bai Yuze was momentarily speechless; how was he supposed to know which class he was in?
Just then, Bai Yuze suddenly felt as if something was being poured into his mind, and that something was memories!
Through these memories, he understood the fact that he had transmigrated, and he had arrived in his physical body, though Classroom of the Elite had undergone some slight changes.
First, the Advanced Nurturing High School was now a university (those who know, know), he was still named Bai Yuze, and he was in Class A.
That was it.
Bai Yuze was immediately filled with doubt.
What is going on? Just this little bit of memory? Why do I feel like I've been invited by someone else to participate in a dungeon instance?
Bai Yuze paused, looked at Kushida Kikyo, and said.
"I'm in Class A. By the way, my name is Bai Yuze."
Bai Yuze's impression of Kushida Kikyo was profound; he didn't want to be held a grudge by someone like her, so he took the initiative to state his name first.
"My name is Kushida Kikyo, it's a pleasure to meet you, Bai Yu-kun! But what a pity~ we aren't in the same class."
Kushida Kikyo first revealed a friendly smile, then shifted into a look of disappointment.
Bai Yuze couldn't help but think to himself.
Such powerful facial control and management. If I didn't know her other side, I would have probably thought I'd encountered true love!
Seeing this, Bai Yuze hurriedly comforted her.
"It's fine, it's fine. We're going to be living at the same school from now on anyway, there will be plenty of time to meet."
Hearing Bai Yuze's comfort, Kushida Kikyo immediately put on a smiling expression, as dazzling as the sun after a rainstorm.
Bai Yuze closed his eyes, because he had just discovered with surprise that he could still see his surroundings clearly even with his eyes shut.
Relying on this ability, Bai Yuze leaned against the vertical pole to rest his eyes; at least, that was how it appeared to others.
Mm! It all matches up. Looking at the familiar faces in the vehicle, Bai Yuze became increasingly certain of the reality of his transmigration into Classroom of the Elite.
However, he had a bad premonition in his heart, a heart-palpitating feeling that even if Bai Yuze were to break the window and escape right now, it wouldn't compare to the danger!
Unfortunately, Bai Yuze did not do so, and thus, Bai Yuze's life in Classroom of the Elite officially began...
