First Semester of Freshman Year

1. Class 1-B, Aragaki Shun

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School.

Funded by the Sakurajima government, it is a legendary school that boasts a near one-hundred percent rate of advancement to higher education and employment.

In its public promotion, the school claims that as long as one can graduate from here, whether it is advancing to top-tier prestigious universities, entering well-known large companies directly, or even becoming a celebrity, athlete, or government official, the school can provide the corresponding channels for graduates and give them a good starting point.

Not only that, the school promises that students do not need to spend any money, including tuition and living expenses, during their time at the school; the school will cover all consumption for the students' three years of campus life.

The only drawback is perhaps that the school adopts a completely closed-off education system.

Once enrolled, students cannot leave the school without permission, and without special reasons, even using mobile phones or the internet to contact family members is prohibited.

But the flaws do not obscure the virtues; the mere fact that it is completely free of charge is enough to attract a large number of parents worried about the costs of their children's education, and with the government's endorsement, everyone is willing to let their children strive for an opportunity that might allow them to transcend their social class.

Therefore, just as school started in April, the gates of Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School were already crowded with young students full of hope for the future.

Cherry blossoms fell with the wind, and everything was so full of vitality.

The classroom for Class 1-B.

Aragaki Shun found his seat according to the nameplate on the desk.

Looking around, the students in their respective seats had almost all arrived. He could even see many extroverts who were happy to socialize already starting to win over the classmates they found agreeable, forming small cliques for the future.

Among them, the girl with long pink hair sitting to his left seemed the most adept in this atmosphere.

The girl had pink hair reaching her waist and crystal-clear blue eyes, radiating a gentle aura no matter who she looked at.

A cheerful smile hung on her exquisite face as she chatted about various topics with the people surrounding her, never leaving anyone out.

What was most eye-catching was perhaps the burgeoning figure on the girl's chest, which the wine-red school uniform set off to perfection.

If this is Class 1-B, then is she the legendary Feibo Ichinose?

In order not to be labeled as a pervert on the first day of school, Aragaki Shun averted his gaze and looked out at the sports field through the window on his right, though his thoughts drifted to who knows where.

He did not belong to this world. When he woke up, he had inexplicably returned to his toddler years at two or three years old. It was only through the conversations of the adults at the orphanage that he realized the time didn't match up, and the history didn't match up even more.

He had originally thought he had just been reborn into some parallel world with deviations in historical development. Later, after being adopted by foster parents who came to the mainland to visit relatives and seeing a younger stepsister with a somewhat familiar name, he realized belatedly that the world he had transmigrated into might be more special than he had imagined.

After proving his independence to his foster family during middle school, Aragaki Shun had traveled all over Sakurajima, wanting to investigate whether there were any other more miraculous factors in this world, but unfortunately, he had not found any extraordinary existence other than himself to this day.

He had specifically checked the names of all the high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools in Sakurajima, and none of them looked particularly familiar.

Just when he thought this world was only filled with elements like sister-complexes, youth romance, genius light novel authors, and illustrators, the name [Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School] caught his attention.

Although he hadn't watched the corresponding anime in his previous life, he had occasionally heard the reputation of the "Four Greats of Campus" from netizens. He heard the illustrations were quite good, so he even specifically searched online to learn the names and images of the main characters.

More than a decade had passed, and such unimportant information should have been forgotten long ago, but perhaps because the impression was quite deep, the moment he saw the girl, the name "Feibo Ichinose" popped into his mind abruptly.

It's just...

It feels a bit wrong. Would a girl actually use such a name? This sounds more like the nickname those netizens in his previous life called her, right?

Thinking of this, Aragaki Shun turned his head, wanting to take a look at the nameplate on her desk.

A breeze blew past abruptly, and a pleasant scent drifted over from beside him. It didn't feel like the scent of shampoo; one could only say that some aspects of this world were truly different.

While the boy was secretly complaining in his heart, the pink-haired girl with the curvaceous figure sitting next to him didn't know what she had said to the group of people surrounding her, but they all greeted her one after another before returning to their respective seats.

She revealed a hearty smile to Aragaki Shun, so friendly that she was like the perfect image of the word "angel."

"Sorry, Aragaki-kun, everyone is very enthusiastic; I might have caused you unnecessary trouble."

"It's fine, it's best if classmates can get along well. I wonder, this..."

"My name is Ichinose Honami. From now on, we'll be desk-mates, so please take care of me."

Ichinose pointed to the words on the nameplate and extended her right hand toward Aragaki Shun.

"Hmm, I'm Aragaki Shun. You should have seen my name tag, so please treat me well."

The boy also extended his right hand, offering a polite handshake.

But she really isn't "Feibo," is she?

After learning her true name, Aragaki Shun felt a sense of realization in his heart.

Though, he could completely understand why she would have such a nickname.

Subconsciously, he took in her figure, which possessed a fullness that was hard for ordinary high school girls to match, and those porcelain-white, beautiful legs were also quite eye-catching.

Aragaki Shun hadn't seen a shortage of beauties since arriving in this world; his own stepsister, for instance, was an exceptionally pretty girl with a slim figure and a cute face.

But he had to admit that in this regard, he had never seen anyone who could surpass Ichinose. One could only say that this woman was truly favored by both an angel and a devil at the same time.

"Um, Aragaki-kun, is there something strange on my face?"

At this moment, a crisp voice reached his ears.

Ichinose looked at Aragaki Shun with poise; there was no doubt she had already noticed the boy's gaze.

Since he had been caught, he didn't bother to cover it up, simply saying with a hint of apology, "Sorry, Ichinose, you're just too beautiful, and I accidentally got lost in thought."

"Ah?"

Such a direct answer made even the usually composed Ichinose gasp, a cute expression appearing on her face.

The young girl was well aware of her own charm, but because of her extraordinary approachability, very few boys ever said such flirtatious compliments to her face.

Of course, this was also because Ichinose had never shown special treatment to anyone, treating everyone with equal kindness.

In an atmosphere where everyone was good friends, it took quite a lot of courage for someone to try and get ahead of the pack to confess to her.

"Aragaki-kun is quite good at sweet-talking girls, isn't he? You must have tricked quite a few girls into being your girlfriend at your old school, right?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Ichinose regained her composure. To hide the blush on her face, she subconsciously reached up to tuck a strand of pink hair behind her ear, asking Aragaki Shun with a very generous smile.

The seatmate in front of her was no ordinary handsome guy; otherwise, Ichinose, who had always been at the center of the group, wouldn't have been so easily flustered by a single compliment.

The girl secretly sized up Aragaki Shun's ink-black, messy hair, his well-defined facial contours, his straight nose, and the calm, steady temperament in his black-and-white eyes that belied his age.

He was just leaning against the window in a casual manner, yet he naturally exuded an undeniable aura. Despite not looking particularly tall or muscular, he gave off a sense of perfect, healthy vitality, causing the surrounding peers—regardless of gender—to cast frequent glances his way.

One had to know that in Sakurajima, early dating was not prohibited, and such an outstanding boy would certainly never lack a girlfriend.

Even if he wasn't the proactive type, as long as those girls knew this "fine plant" was still unclaimed, there would inevitably be one or two bold ones willing to throw themselves at him.

"First, I've always been blunt. If you think this is sweet-talking, there's nothing I can do about it. Second, I haven't had any dating experience until now."

Aragaki Shun was speechless. Although he knew the social climate in Sakurajima was different from the mainland, every time he encountered such questions, he didn't know what kind of expression to make.

You're a girl who just started her first year of high school; why would you think someone your own age has had many girlfriends?

As expected, the school doesn't assign enough homework!

Recalling his past life, where dating was forbidden before university and he was forced into blind dates immediately after graduation, the subtle feeling in Aragaki Shun's heart grew stronger.

"Eh? Really?"

Ichinose looked at Aragaki Shun with disbelief. How could such a high-quality stock have no one snatching him up?

"Forget about me, do you have any dating experience, Ichinose?"

"Ah? Haha~ It seems we're in the same boat..."

The girl felt a bit embarrassed. In the social environment of Sakurajima, having rich dating experience wasn't something to be ashamed of; rather, those who had never dated at all were often looked down upon by the "players" in the circle.

Aragaki Shun curled his lip. He didn't care about that at all; having a girlfriend or not didn't matter to him. Besides, he had a fallback at home anyway.

When his foster parents learned he had chosen to attend Advanced Nurturing High School, they had even subtly asked him if he would be willing to start taking over the family business after graduation.

Ichinose wanted to say something else, but seeing that all the seats in the classroom were filled, she simply ran to the podium and began inviting everyone to introduce themselves and get to know one another.

The angel's approachability was beyond question, and since this class happened to lack any troublemakers, everyone unanimously agreed to the suggestion and began to stand up and speak in an orderly fashion, starting from the first row.

Aragaki Shun listened to his classmates' introductions, matching names to faces, while simultaneously distracting himself by opening the personal panel that only he could see—

[Name: Aragaki Shun

Strength: 7

Constitution: 7

Agility: 8

Spirit: 9

Skills: Combat lv.4 (2/5), Writing lv.4 (2/5), Miscellaneous

Talents: Danger Sense lv.5 (0/10), Immunity to Poison lv.5 (0/10), Immunity to Disease lv.5 (0/10)

Pending Condensation: Erudition lv.0 (0/?), Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune lv.0 (0/?)

Source Power: 14 (Current efficiency: 3 units acquired per month)]

Excluding the base of 10 units of Source Power, the new month added 3 units, plus one extra.

As expected, entering Advanced Nurturing was the right choice!

2. The Function of the Cheat; Unanswerable Questions

As a transmigrator fortunate enough to live a second life, Aragaki Shun naturally possessed something akin to a cheat.

It wasn't a typical system, but rather an ability, talent, or perhaps a divine power that he had named Source Manipulation.

Regardless of the terminology, he had yet to discover any other supernatural existences in this world, so he could only study this naturally awakened superpower according to his own understanding.

Based on his explorations over the years, he knew that when he exerted a lasting influence on this world, he could obtain a form of universal energy through that influence, which he named Source.

Source is omnipotent, but only on the condition that he has a massive amount of it to squander.

According to his rate of Source acquisition over these years, even if he saved it for ten years without spending any and then unleashed it all at once, he still wouldn't be able to perform a strike capable of destroying a town.

The key was that the influence created by miracles performed with Source could not be used to harvest more Source; otherwise, if he could recover as much as he spent, he would have stopped eating beef long ago.

Fortunately, after trial and error, he found a more cost-effective way to use his ability.

That is, compared to pure brute force, if he had a corresponding understanding, insight, or knowledge of the principles behind the miracle he wanted to perform, the Source required for the same effect could be cut by more than half, or even reduced to just one-tenth to achieve a more perfect result.

The personal panel before him, which only he could perceive, was something he had crafted himself.

His initial thought was to see his progress more intuitively, but later he discovered that by fixing his attributes, skills, and talents on the panel in a semi-digitized form, the Source consumed for subsequent enhancements could be saved significantly.

One could only say this was the helplessness of Source poverty; he had to save wherever he could.

But fortunately, he was not yet twenty years old; as long as he didn't die of hunger, illness, poison, or accidents, he could slowly extend his lifespan in the future.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... a hundred years... a thousand years... having already lived a second life, he didn't mind racing against time, walking step by step toward the future he desired.

Just as Aragaki Shun was planning for the future in his heart, a voice that sounded very sweet rang out, startling him out of his own world.

"Everyone, quiet down and return to your seats. Don't make things difficult for your teacher, okay~"

A young woman wearing a pink T-shirt with long brown hair walked up to the podium. Her smiling appearance gave off a very gentle feeling, and her tone was a bit playful; she looked like a very easygoing teacher.

The boys in the class suddenly became excited. It was obvious that a cute, beautiful homeroom teacher was definitely more popular than a stern, old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud with a receding hairline.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the beautiful homeroom teacher put one hand on her hip and looked around the full classroom with a cute gesture. She nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a piece of chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard--Chie Hoshinomiya.
