Following one self-introduction after another, it was finally Shangguan Che's turn.
Shangguan Che had just stood up to introduce himself when he was interrupted by a loud noise.
Thud---------
The source of the sound was the tall, red-haired boy sitting two seats to the right of Shangguan Che.
"Acting like a kid doing these self-introductions, I didn't come here to make friends!"
Seriously, man, could you have waited for me to sit down before interrupting? I'm a bit embarrassed. Shangguan Che muttered to himself as he sat back down.
"Since this student doesn't wish to introduce himself, I naturally won't force the issue. I just thought this would help everyone get familiar with each other quickly. There's nothing inherently wrong with that." The sunny, popular boy Hirata immediately offered a gentle persuasion, hoping to extinguish the red-haired boy's unprovoked, or perhaps eccentric, anger.
"Asking you to introduce yourself isn't that big of a deal, is it?" A girl with honey-colored hair also spoke up.
"Shut up, it's none of your business."
Labeled as a [delinquent], the red-haired boy walked out of the classroom under the gaze of everyone. With him leading the way, several others followed him out one by one.
Watching the female student to his left leave, Shangguan Che thought for a moment and stood up.
"Is everyone ready? I'm going to start my introduction now."
"We're ready, please go ahead, classmate." The sunny boy Hirata was the first to respond once again.
"Alright. Hello everyone, my name is Shangguan Che. I have the attributes of a shut-in, meaning I don't like going out to play. My specialty is that I can speak five languages: Japanese, Chinese, French, English, and Russian. I look forward to working with you all."
Everyone wants to look a bit cool, don't they?
With Shangguan Che taking the initiative, the self-introductions resumed. Shangguan Che's target, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, hadn't left either; it would be his turn to introduce himself soon.
Shangguan Che unconsciously clenched his hands, his eyes fixed straight on him.
After listening to Ayanokoji's self-introduction.
Is Ayanokoji socially anxious? Shangguan Che wondered, or perhaps he's just not good at socializing.
Before Shangguan Che could continue his train of thought, the sunny boy Hirata bridged the awkward silence left by Ayanokoji and moved on to the next person.
Then, Shangguan Che and his classmates went to the grand auditorium to attend the entrance ceremony.
It's no different from the original world; school speeches are always like this. But this is a world of chuunibyou souls, so why is everything so normal?
Shangguan Che's thoughts ended the moment the student council president, Horikita Manabu, said, "Focus on both literary and martial arts."
After careful consideration, he concluded that he had likely transmigrated into a world of youth and daily life, and thus Shangguan Che obtained information regarding the highest military power in Japan. Control over nuclear power plant explosions, or perhaps control over the discharge of nuclear wastewater?
After the entrance ceremony concluded, Shangguan Che followed the crowd as everyone went their separate ways.
Looking at the four unread emails that hadn't changed, Shangguan Che felt he needed to return to the dormitory quickly to check them in a private space—that is, a place where no one else was around.
After receiving his room key and dormitory guide from the dorm manager, Shangguan Che arrived at the door of his room, 404.
Shangguan Che thought this was a number that suited him quite well.
With a beep, Shangguan Che opened the door and entered. The room was quite clean, featuring a bathroom, a bedroom, and a kitchen. In the bedroom, besides a bed, there were two desks.
Shangguan Che lay on the bed, placed his right arm over his eyes, and began to check the system emails.
The first one.
[You can improve your attributes through donated points. Up to 6 points, each upgrade costs 10,000; from 6 to 7 costs 100,000; from 7 to 8 costs 1,000,000, and so on, increasing by a factor of 10.]
[Name: Shangguan Che]
[Strength: 3]
[Speed: 5]
[Stamina: 4]
[Intelligence: 6] (Unrelated to IQ. Only related to agility of thought, memory, etc.)
[Charisma: 7] (Related to initial affinity)
Shangguan Che immediately sat up, took out his phone, and began to ponder while looking at his 100,000 points.
Add three to Strength, one to Speed, and two to Stamina for a balanced, all-around development.
It would consume a total of 60,000, leaving 40,000, which is enough.
Having allocated them like this, Shangguan Che lay back down.
The second one.
[Character Introduction]
[One of the characters in need of help]
[Name: Sakura Airi (Blue)]
[Photos (Two)]
[You should have a general judgment after seeing the two photos.
You need to communicate with her more, become friends with Sakura, and help her learn knowledge—proper knowledge.]
Sakura Airi is very friendly, so don't be timid, go for it bravely.
At the very least, become friends; whether you want to go beyond that is something you two can decide for yourselves.
I personally believe the best way to help her, and the most likely to succeed, is to study with her for the next two years.
Finally, if you can't help this person, don't ever come back; I don't have the face to deal with you. Remember, give it your all.]
It seems I have quite a strong obsession with this person. I'll just do as I said.
The color of the name is different from the previous one, so it seems the colors represent something; I can't guess what, as the sample size is too small. Let's look at the next one.
[Character Introduction]
[One of the individuals needing help]
[Name: Hirata Yosuke (Bright Gold)]
[Photo]
[I originally wanted to stuff two photos in, but it turns out I can only fit one; the chance to use two photos only comes once.
You must become best friends with Hirata.
Think about where our "best friend" dynamic comes from—yes, it's from Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. We may walk different paths, but we remain best friends for life.
We must help him often, using your brain and your thick skin.
You say you don't have thick skin? Then hurry up and forge some. As a transmigrator, if you don't even have that, surviving will be very difficult. Come on, I believe in you.
As for the reason for insisting on helping Hirata, it's simple: "Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow." He is a good person, and that is enough for me.
Go on, go help him. Hirata has failed at the beautiful things he wanted to do; you must teach him. That is what I consider the best way to help him.]
I'll do it reluctantly. Shangguan Che thought about the sunshine boy from earlier and sighed.
Then I'll observe Hirata Yosuke more closely to see what his "beautiful things" are. Friendship? Love is unlikely. Or perhaps it's caring for the emotions of others.
The last letter.
[Character Introduction]
[One of the individuals needing help]
[Name: Karuizawa Kei (White)]
[Photo]
[Preventing school bullying starts with you, me, and everyone else.
Understand? Pay more attention to her, keep an eye on her, and think more about the reasons and possibilities behind the bullying. When she can naturally show her true self, I will consider that I have helped her.
Good luck, and work hard to draw some martial arts skills.]
Looking at the information on Karuizawa Kei and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Shangguan Che seemed to understand why he felt a sense of unease after his ten-pull, even though he thought it was decent. It turns out it was because there were no martial arts.
The color of the names must represent my friendliness toward them, or perhaps my level of affection? Is it as a reader or as a classmate? It should be as a classmate.
Who would like a guy the most in a harem-style youth daily life story? Shangguan Che grumbled to himself about his own color-coding system.
