Enrollment

The sudden darkness vanished. Feeling a bit dizzy, Shangguan Che opened his eyes and looked around. The bus was still quite empty, and he was sitting in a seat toward the back, though he had no idea who he might encounter here.

Just as Shangguan Che wanted to see what the outside world looked like, the bus started moving forward.

Looking at the road that didn't seem particularly different, Shangguan Che began to ponder.

Other than the memories of the plot, he hadn't forgotten anything; he even had a vague impression of the time he had spent in the system space.

Shangguan Che's mind also contained an extra set of life experiences he had written himself. It was just like watching a movie, but since the memories covered such a long time, it was difficult to fully digest and understand them in such a short period.

Shangguan Che felt very little empathy for this set of fake memories.

This was a good thing. It would allow him to sever any hollow attachments.

Thinking this, Shangguan Che casually opened the system. There was only one email on the system page. Looking at the newcomer gift pack and the message he had written himself, he chose to perform a ten-pull draw directly.

After all, there was a pity system, and Shangguan Che didn't want to play a heart-pounding game of pulling one by one.

Shangguan Che felt the skills he had drawn were quite good, but why did he have a faint sense of unease?

Before Shangguan Che could carefully experience the newly acquired skill, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Um, excuse me, classmate, could you give up your seat to this elderly lady?" A girl with light brown hair, who was supporting an old woman leaning on a cane, spoke to the burly blond man sitting in the priority seat.

Both of them were wearing the same school uniform as Shangguan Che. This was the conclusion Shangguan Che reached after glancing down at his own clothes.

"This is a priority seat, so I think we should prioritize giving it to the elderly lady. Is that okay?"

"Oh my, what a beautiful girl."

"Although this is a priority seat, there is no legal obligation to give up one's seat."

"Just because I'm young, does that mean I have to..."

"Classmate, here!" Shangguan Che stood up and interrupted the blond student's speech.

"Let the elderly lady sit here." Shangguan Che pointed to the seat he had vacated.

"Alright, thank you so much, classmate. Let's go over there, ma'am." The female student helped the old woman over just like that.

Shangguan Che stepped aside to make space, allowing the old woman to sit down.

"Thank you, young man."

"It's nothing." Giving up one's seat was a virtue, after all.

A faint scent of gardenia drifted in, accompanied by the girl's moving voice. "Classmate, thank you so much for your help. Are you also a freshman enrolling this year?"

"Yes, are you too?" Shangguan Che looked at the girl's light brown hair and thought that the scent must be from her shampoo; he didn't dare shift his gaze downward even a fraction.

After all, he could see the outline of the girl's front armor just from his peripheral vision. He had to hold back; if he were caught, he might die of social embarrassment in public.

"My name is Kushida Kikyo. Classmate, what is your name? Could you tell me?" The little angel Kushida revealed a cute smile.

"My name is Shangguan, Shangguan Che. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kushida-san." Shangguan Che rarely exchanged names with strangers, so he added the universal 'It's a pleasure to meet you.'

"I'm also very happy to meet you. I wonder where you went to school before, Shangguan-san..."

Just like that, time passed in the idle chatter between Shangguan Che and Kushida-san.

"Advanced Nurturing High School station, Advanced Nurturing High School station."

"Ah, we've arrived so soon. It was really fun chatting with you, Shangguan-san." Kushida Kikyo stopped the small talk and flashed her angelic smile.

"Let's get off then." Shangguan Che said, making a 'please' gesture.

"Alright, thank you, Shangguan-san." As soon as she finished speaking, the girl tilted her head toward Shangguan Che and then hopped off the bus with a light, graceful motion.

Shangguan Che thought to himself that she was truly a complete social butterfly, so he followed closely behind her.

Advanced Nurturing High School was a closed campus that maintained a 100% college entrance and employment rate, equipped with single dormitories and high-quality teaching resources.

Looking at the gate of Advanced Nurturing High School, Shangguan Che thought, why does this feel just like those online scams that trick people into going to Myanmar? It all feels too good to be true.

"Shangguan-san, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just zoned out for a second. Let's go check the class assignments."

"Okay! I really hope I get assigned to the same class as you, Shangguan-san." The girl let out her moving voice again.

"Yeah, let's go."

Shangguan Che felt a bit unnatural inside. Was Kushida's affinity too high? He was having a hard time handling it.

As for whether she said 'hope to be in the same class' because she liked him? How could that be possible?

Since this is a physical transmigration, it's impossible for any girl to fall in love with Shangguan Che on the very first day they meet him.

Years of life experience, after all.

He started looking from the Class A roster, but it was a pity the school didn't allow students to bring in mobile phones; otherwise, it would have been great to take a photo. He could have searched for his own class at his leisure without having to worry about other students who were also looking for their classes.

He finally found it: Class 1-D. There were only four classes in total, and he had to find the very last one; his luck was truly terrible.

However, he had a strange feeling that this was his own doing.

"Shangguan-san, we're both in Class D."

"Let's walk together, then."

Upon arriving at the classroom, Shangguan Che saw that every desk had a nameplate with the corresponding name written on it.

Shangguan Che found his seat in the middle of the back row.

Wait, the school arranged for me to sit here? I'm nearsighted. Shangguan Che pushed up his glasses.

Hold on, where did my clairvoyance go?

Shangguan Che took off his glasses, and, well, the nearsightedness had vanished.

After a period of careful deliberation, Shangguan Che ultimately decided not to throw the glasses away.

After placing the glasses into the desk compartment, Shangguan Che looked back at the system, where a red notification mark appeared on the system mail.

Shangguan Che glanced at the students in the classroom; Kushida Kikyo had already hit it off with the students who arrived early—truly living up to her reputation as a top-tier extrovert.

Consequently, Shangguan Che slumped over his desk and began to feign sleep to avoid being disturbed by others.
