Class 1-D.
Shintō Katsuya arrived at his classroom, where many students had already taken their seats, and the faint outlines of their respective social circles were already beginning to form.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; those gathered in groups chatting mostly shared similar characteristics.
Of course, not everyone could build connections so quickly. Through the unique aura radiating from them, Shintō Katsuya could tell at a glance who in this class would struggle to find friends, and who would never have friends at all...
What a twisted fate...
Aside from the pair who had offered their seats on the bus, that guy with the pompadour and the cold, arrogant girl with long black hair had also taken their respective seats.
That cute girl, relying on her outstanding appearance and sunny personality, had quickly hit it off with the strangers around her. As for the other three...
Unless someone was a lunatic, it was unlikely anyone would want to deal with them.
Following the guidance of the nameplate on the desk, Shintō Katsuya arrived at his seat and sat down obediently.
As time passed, all 40 seats in the classroom were filled, but there was still no sign of the teacher, and the room remained filled with noisy chatter.
"Quiet!"
A voice filled with authority rang out from outside the door, followed by a woman wearing a black-stockinged professional outfit and a high ponytail walking in.
It had to be said, this type of teacher was likely the favorite type for the boys present: mature, sexy, and beautiful. Her appearance immediately silenced the noisy class.
Next, she picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a few words on the blackboard:
"I am your homeroom teacher, my name is Chabashira Sae."
Her voice sounded devoid of any emotion. If one were to say it was to maintain the dignity of a teacher, it seemed a bit excessive.
It sounded as if she didn't care at all who the people below her were, a full-blown attitude of keeping others at a distance.
Although strange, Shintō Katsuya didn't think too much about it. After all, rather than a teacher, it was more like she was just working to make money. What was so strange about a numb middle-aged person having no passion for their job?
Because of Chabashira-sensei's tone, the students who were still distracted suddenly tensed up, and the already quiet classroom became even more deathly silent.
Chabashira Sae slowly scanned the students in her class and continued to speak:
"This school will not change classes, which means that for the next three years, I will be your homeroom teacher. Our school is very special; we have waived all your tuition and miscellaneous fees. In exchange, for the next three years, you must choose to live on campus, and contact with the outside world is prohibited."
"Of course, for your physical and mental health and convenience in life, the school has also opened a large-scale shopping center. Almost all daily necessities and entertainment supplies can be bought there, and there are also karaoke rooms, movie theaters, cafes, and other entertainment facilities, all of which are fully equipped."
After saying this, Chabashira Sae took a breath. Of course, she wasn't tired; she was indicating that what she was about to say next was more important, even though she didn't hope for anyone in this class to realize those things.
"Using the student ID card being distributed now, you can use all the facilities in the school and also make purchases. But be aware, it is something similar to a credit card, so using it will consume something called 'private points'."
"As long as it is something within the school, you can buy anything. As for how to use it, it is very simple; you can familiarize yourselves with it later. Points are automatically deposited on the first of every month, and now each of you should have been distributed 100,000 points, which can be converted into 100,000 yen."
Following Chabashira Sae's introduction, the classroom suddenly exploded into chaos.
However, this couldn't be blamed on the students; most high school students were coming into contact with such a huge sum of wealth for the first time.
Coupled with the fact that the school's entertainment facilities and various shops were fully equipped, thinking about the life of indulgence in the future, it was hard for them not to imagine a wonderful life ahead.
However...
Shintō Katsuya was clearly a bit uneasy. He had never believed that there was such a thing as a free lunch in this world.
The threshold for admission to this school seemed very flexible. If this treatment were given to outstanding talents capable of becoming pillars of future society, that would be one thing, but...
"Are you surprised that the school is distributing so many points? This school measures you based on ability. Therefore, as long as you were able to enroll, you also possess corresponding value. Points represent the school's evaluation of you; use them to your heart's content."
"If anyone wants to transfer points to others, that is also possible, but please do not intimidate or threaten others. The school's punishment for bullying is quite severe."
"By the way, one hour from now, the freshman orientation ceremony will be held in the gymnasium."
Having said that, Chabashira Sae turned and left the classroom, walking with her long legs without looking back.
With the departure of the homeroom teacher, the class became noisy again. Those groups that had already formed were already planning to go on a wild shopping spree later.
Shintō Katsuya looked at the cold 100,000 points in his student ID and fell into deep thought...
Measuring based on ability... but my entrance exam results should have been abysmal, right? If I can get 100,000 with that, then those students with better grades than me should have received even more.
However, the information currently known was still too little, and Shintō couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only shake his head and stop thinking about these things for now.
At the front of the classroom, a sunny and handsome boy with short green hair had clearly taken control of the class's discourse. He bowed politely and gently to everyone:
"Hello everyone, I'm Hirata Yōsuke, and I like soccer. Since everyone has just arrived in this class, how about we do a self-introduction? That way, we can all get to know each other better!"
It must be said that handsome men and beautiful women are born with enviable talents.
Therefore, his suggestion was quickly agreed upon by the vast majority of people, who stood up one after another to introduce themselves.
Just then, a red-haired boy sitting next to Shintō slammed his desk and retorted loudly:
"This is so ridiculous! Who wants to do any self-introductions with you?! It's clearly a game for little kids, and I don't intend to participate in your games."
Having said that, he left the classroom directly through the back door.
Many people do not have stereotypical prejudices against anyone, but if a person displays any of the traits in their stereotypical understanding, they will add all their prejudices onto that person.
