In Classroom of the Elite, Ichinose You Will Regret This

Reincarnated in Classroom of the Elite: Ichinose, You Will Regret This by Shiraryo

"That year, I saw my Class B classmates slumped in their chairs, weeping uncontrollably. That image is burned into my memory forever. At that moment, I thought: if I could become the Class B leader, I would lead Class B to win it all!"

"So, Ichinose, let me be the leader of Class B."

"No, Uesugi-kun, you are too radical."

"Ichinose, you will regret this!"

"Uesugi, I am the leader of Class B."

"Slap!"

"Heh heh, naive Ichinose. Do you think I have no other way just because you didn't agree? Shibata, notify Kanzaki to prepare to close the net!"

"Uh, well, Uesugi—"

"Shut up, Shibata. This time we must act swiftly. Before Ichinose can react, we will get them expelled directly. I want to see who can stop me this time."

Some time later, "The wind on the rooftop of Advanced Nurturing High School is so strong..."

"Uesugi, come down! I promise I won't leak your plans to Ichinose ever again."

"You write it down in a signed statement!!"

Chapter 1: Uesugi Gen of Class 1-B

On the very first day of school, Uesugi Gen discovered the peculiar nature of Advanced Nurturing High School.

There were hidden, omnipresent surveillance cameras scattered all over the campus.

Despite being a school with state backing, the information available online was vague and ambiguous.

There was a strange, intangible atmosphere among the upperclassmen.

Students were required to stay at the school for three full years and were forbidden from contacting the outside world without permission.

And then there was Uesugi Gen—a student who had become enrolled despite only completing the multiple-choice section of the written exam and skipping the interview entirely.

But!

None of that mattered.

What mattered was—

"Why did you all get bewitched by that woman just because I went for a walk around the school? What kind of love potion did she feed you people!"

In the back row by the window of the Class B classroom, Uesugi Gen was grabbing the shoulders of his new acquaintance, Shibata Hayate, and shaking him violently, trying to snap his friend back to reality.

He had only gone out to investigate some intelligence, and everything was normal when he left. But upon returning, wow, good grief—the entire class was surrounding that woman like brainwashed cultists.

Yes, Uesugi Gen admitted that the woman, Ichinose Honami, was very beautiful. Her delicate face with a hint of baby fat, long eyelashes, a high bridge of her nose, golden-pink hair reaching her hips, a tall figure, and those beautiful curves outlined by black knee-high socks—stretching from her small leather shoes up to her calves, hugging her shapely knees, and continuing up to her round, fair thighs before disappearing into the fluttering hem of her skirt, along with—that massive softness...

Pah!

What am I thinking? I almost fell for that woman's trap. Evil thoughts, begone! Evil thoughts, begone!

"Um, Uesugi, I think you have some misunderstandings about Ichinose. Once you interact with her, you'll find that she's a very good person."

Shibata Hayate tried to defend Ichinose while being shaken.

Uesugi Gen looked at Shibata Hayate with a blank expression.

Heh.jpg

She had cleaned everything that needed cleaning the moment she arrived in the classroom, made friends with most of the class in less than a morning, and told them that if they encountered any trouble, they could come to her and she would do her best to provide help.

And now you're telling me she has no ulterior motives, and she's doing all this simply because she's helpful?

Are you telling me a science fiction story?

If such a girl actually existed, I, Uesugi Gen, would eat this desk right here and now.

"Then, could classmate Shibata please tell me what Ichinose's merits are?"

Uesugi Gen quickly adjusted his expression, revealing a gentle smile on his face.

Shibata Hayate froze for a moment, his gaze drifting. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out:

"Well, Ichinose is very beautiful."

"And then?"

Master Uesugi wore a benevolent look on his face, his voice gentle as he encouraged Shibata Hayate to continue.

"Then... then Ichinose is really very beautiful."

Shibata Hayate looked a bit embarrassed.

Uesugi Gen was almost laughing out of anger. After all this time, you didn't even remember what she said, whereas I at least remembered she had a 'helpful' attribute. He sneered, "You're just lusting after her body. You're pathetic."

"Shut up, Ichinose is..."

As he spoke, the gaze of Shibata Hayate had already drifted involuntarily toward the center of the crowd in the classroom, a silly grin occasionally appearing on his face.

Uesugi Gen raised a hand to his forehead; he didn't even need to look to know what he was watching. He took a deep breath, attempting one last struggle, speaking from the heart with earnest gravity.

"Shibata, admiration is the furthest distance of all. By focusing your gaze on her so intensely, you'll fail to see what kind of person she really is. Take my advice: the water here is deep, and you're out of your depth. Wait a few months, see what she actually does, and then decide if you really like her."

"No way. I'm sure she's the kind of girl who is kind-hearted, helpful, and full of energy."

Shibata Hayate said without even turning his head.

"Ah!!" Marmot screaming.jpg.

Uesugi Gen tremblingly let go of his hands and stumbled backward, crashing into his own desk with a loud clatter.

It's over; this guy is completely beyond saving.

And it wasn't just him. Uesugi Gen gripped his desk and turned to look around.

The whole group of people circling Ichinose was beyond saving, too. They had been infected by something indescribable called Ichinose, and they were hopelessly addicted to it.

If this continued, the entire Class B would turn into followers of Ichinose.

Then, they would spend their days obsessed with Ichinose, lose interest in their studies, fail to get into good universities, fail to find good jobs, and ultimately lead relatively failed lives.

No, he couldn't just watch his friends sink like this.

He had to do something. He had to start by pulling Shibata and the others out of this.

Conventional methods definitely wouldn't work; this guy was already terminally ill. He needed a strong dose of medicine.

Uesugi Gen's brain raced, his eyes catching the clock hanging in the classroom.

Got it.

Uesugi Gen's eyes flashed. He snuck behind Shibata Hayate, placed a hand on his shoulder, leaned into his ear, and lowered his voice to a devilish whisper.

"Hey, Shibata, class is about to start. If they're still gathered there when the teacher arrives... you wouldn't want Ichinose to leave a bad impression on the teacher, would you? It'd be best to get them back to their seats quickly."

"You're right, class is almost starting."

Shibata Hayate froze for a moment, as if waking from a dream. His eyes cleared, and he hurriedly ran into the middle of the crowd.

A moment later, the crowd dispersed with a roar.

In the dead-silent classroom, the students of Class B sat quietly at their desks, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

A few minutes later.

A strange, strained voice rang out in the quiet classroom.

"Um, did someone say the teacher was coming just now?"

The entire class's gaze instantly locked onto Shibata Hayate.

"Um, that..."

Shibata Hayate sat stiffly at his desk, his face flushed red, at a complete loss.

"I think it must be because too many people misheard just now."

Ichinose hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"It's true that it was noisy earlier, so it's possible to have misheard."

"And it really is about time for class to start now."

"Ichinose is right."

At that moment, Shibata seemed to see three pairs of wings slowly unfolding from behind Ichinose in a trance.

Shimada, that guy Shibata is sinking even deeper.

Uesugi Gen clutched his head on the desk in despair.

And then there was that evil woman Ichinose, actually taking advantage of the moment Shibata was in crisis to offer a helping hand, all to deepen the impression she left on him.

Oh, poor Shibata, being played in the palm of Ichinose's hand (translated tone).

A pair of large hands reached out from the darkness and suddenly wrapped around Uesugi Gen's neck, performing a chokehold.

"Uesugi, you bastard, you tricked me!!"

Shibata, having finally regained his wits, realized he had been played by Uesugi Gen.

Uesugi Gen struggled against Shibata Hayate's hands, trying to break the hold while saying with a pained heart.

"I'm trying to save you, Shibata! You've been twisted by evil; to think you'd raise your hand against a former friend! The sea of bitterness is boundless, but turn back and you'll find the shore."

"Bullshit."

Shibata Hayate was furious.

Under the gaze of the entire class, the two of them wrestled wildly beside their desks.

Suddenly, Uesugi Gen reined in his smile.

"Quick, Shibata, let go of me, the teacher is coming."

"You actually still want to lie to me."

The classroom door was pushed open with a "click," and a female teacher carrying a stack of documents walked in.

Shibata Hayate released his hands at the speed of light and sat back in his seat.

Newbie on the road, begging for data, thank you, dear readers! (Respectfully)

Chapter 2 S-System

Walking into the classroom was a young, beautiful teacher with slightly wavy hair, holding a large pile of materials in her slender arms.

"It seems the students of this year are very well-behaved; you've all returned to your seats to wait for the teacher before class even started. I'm very happy."

Looking at the Class B students sitting upright in their seats, the new teacher did not hold back her praise.

Listening to the teacher's praise, the students in the classroom fell into an eerie silence.

"My name is Hoshinomiya Chie. I am usually responsible for teaching mathematics, and I am also the school's infirmary teacher. Since this class won't change homeroom teachers for three years, I will be your homeroom teacher for the next three years. Please treat me well."

Teacher Hoshinomiya wrote her name on the blackboard with chalk and introduced herself; she was a teacher whose tone carried a hint of playfulness and frivolity.

No, it would be more appropriate to call her a senior than a teacher. If it weren't for the faint scent of alcohol mixed in with the fragrance Uesugi Gen smelled on her, he might have thought she was a very excellent teacher.

What a pity~ This teacher didn't go drinking before class, did she? Is she really okay?

Looking at the slightly unnatural flush on Teacher Hoshinomiya's fair, tender face, Uesugi Gen posed a soul-searching question.

"The entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in one hour. Before that, I am going to distribute materials regarding the special rules of this school to you all."
