At noon, 18-year-old ordinary person Yi Chen went out to buy breakfast, arriving at the street.
At this very moment, a scene as unpredictable as a ghost story began to repeat itself.
The light was red, and a woman's shrill scream rang out.
"Ma Hai! Watch out!"
Right in the middle of the road was a young Ma Hai; hearing his mother's cry, Ma Hai ran toward her.
The truck, which originally wouldn't have hit Ma Hai, suddenly suffered an engine failure! The driver inside jerked the steering wheel and shouted loudly:
"Oh no! What kind of joke is this! You were supposed to have passed by already! Just keep going!"
No sooner said than done!
The truck flipped and drifted toward Yi Chen!
Yi Chen's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and tried to dodge, but he was struck nonetheless.
Yi Chen was sent flying backward, crashing into a utility pole.
Mangled and battered, Yi Chen looked at the mother and son with his dying breath:
Blood spraying from his eyes:
"Damn it, you guys, what kind of jok..."
And just like that, Yi Chen died.
Not long after, Yi Chen's soul arrived in an all-white space, where a winged Angel was picking her nose at a workstation.
Yi Chen looked at this Angel with a face full of disdain, as there was nothing else in the vicinity.
Yi Chen just watched her finish picking her nose, scratch her foot, and then go back to picking her nose.
Yi Chen:
"..."
Yi Chen turned around and struck a Jojo pose, his poker face terrifyingly dark.
"..."
At this moment, the Angel, whose eyes were feeling a bit uncomfortable, looked up, rubbed them, and saw Yi Chen ahead.
She immediately flew over and said excitedly:
"Chosen One, I have finally waited for you, I have waited for you so hard~~"
Yi Chen didn't speak, his poker face only growing gloomier.
Angel:
"Hello? Hey? Why aren't you moving? Are you too shocked to have arrived here?"
The Angel came right up to Yi Chen's face.
She screamed:
"Ah! What the hell is this? What kind of devilish face is this, let me~ ah~"
Yi Chen looked at the Angel with dead eyes:
"What is the situation now?"
The Angel looked at the handsome young man speaking before her and explained carefully:
"You know, right? In this world, there are always some..."
The Angel began to sing:
"Surprising encounters~ just happened to meet you~"
Yi Chen:
"..."
Angel:
"To make a long story short, you're dead, and now you have to transmigrate to clear a world."
"Do you have any last words? Or is there anything you need me to help you with?"
Yi Chen:
"I want that mother and son to die."
Angel with a Jojo face:
"..., I can't do that..."
Yi Chen:
"Then if I complete the mission, can I go back to my original world?"
Angel:
"That goes without saying. We are very humane, after all."
Yi Chen curled his lips into a smirk and gave a thumbs-up:
"Awesome! Please start immediately."
The Angel smiled, transformed into a beam of light, and flew into Yi Chen's mind.
Yi Chen fainted once again.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself on a bus.
Yi Chen observed his surroundings and saw that most people were wearing school uniforms; he looked at the school emblem on the person next to him, which read Advanced Nurturing High School.
A disdainful female voice drifted over:
"What a pervert!"
Yi Chen looked at the girl and realized his previous behavior had indeed been inappropriate, so he quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, classmate. I was just looking at the school emblem. My apologies."
The girl turned her head away in contempt, and Yi Chen hurriedly tried to explain.
He realized that the girl with black hair and braids before him was none other than Horikita Suzune.
Having watched countless anime over his eighteen years as a shut-in, Yi Chen analyzed the situation instantly.
Yi Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
He thought to himself with secret delight:
"The world of Classroom of the Elite? With my knowledge of the plot, I'm going to surpass everyone, hahahahaha."
As it turned out, he hadn't been able to hold back his laughter, and Horikita Suzune looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Yi Chen continued to explain bit by bit, and the misunderstanding between the two was soon resolved, though they stopped speaking to each other afterward.
Soon, the bus arrived at the stop.
Yi Chen:
"Finally here, huh?"
At this moment, the Angel's voice echoed:
"World Clearance Goal:
"Graduate successfully from Class A (Incomplete)"
Task Issued:
Give up your seat to the elderly woman:
Reward: One Bronze Card.
Please complete this as soon as possible, host. Failure results in death."
Yi Chen's face darkened upon hearing the sudden message:
"Angel, where are you? What is this task?"
Angel:
"I am now the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, issuing tasks to you. Completing them grants you rewards that will allow you to barely survive in this world."
Yi Chen:
"...I can't survive in Classroom of the Elite? Oh, I see, you're afraid I'll get expelled, right? Whatever, I guess this is a system? With a system in hand, the world is mine."
Yi Chen looked at the elderly woman who had just boarded.
Yi Chen shook his head dismissively and thought:
"If you wanted to give me a Bronze Card, you could've just said so instead of such a simple task."
At this moment, a blonde girl spoke up to help the elderly woman find a seat; this person was, of course, Kushida Kikyo.
Hearing this, Yi Chen hurriedly stood up to signal the elderly woman over, helping her with a beaming smile.
The Angel's voice:
"Task complete. Obtained one Bronze Card."
Meanwhile, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were observing Yi Chen from behind.
Yi Chen looked at the card that appeared before him and tapped it to view the details.
Calf Kick
Description:
"Upon using this card, the host will immediately learn the Calf Kick. (A method to defeat ordinary people. Charge, charge, charge.)"
Yi Chen looked at the card with joy and used it.
He felt the experience of countless Calf Kicks merge into his mind, as if he had performed the move 10,000 times himself.
Yi Chen was ecstatic:
"As everyone knows, Classroom of the Elite is ultimately about physical strength. I'll use my Calf Kick to kick through Class C, take in Class B, and ascend to Class A!"
Kushida Kikyo looked at Yi Chen, who was gesturing at the air in front of her, with a helpless expression.
Angel:
"By the way, only I can see this card, right?"
Angel:
"That goes without saying, it's standard equipment. Besides, whenever you want to summon me, just call my name."
The bus continued on its way, and soon they arrived at Advanced Nurturing High School.
It was currently summer, and the weather was slightly sweltering.
The peach blossoms at the entrance of Advanced Nurturing High School were in full bloom, and the gate looked incredibly grand.
Yi Chen looked at the school.
Yi Chen looked at the school with an excited expression. He strode toward the campus, looking around curiously as he walked.
After entering the campus, an announcement notified the freshmen to gather in the auditorium.
Yi Chen followed the flow of people to the auditorium, which was packed with freshmen.
The principal walked onto the stage and began to speak, explaining the school's unique educational philosophy and evaluation system.
Yi Chen listened to the principal's speech attentively, his eyes darting around as he observed the various students around him.
Ryuen from Class C stood at the very front, and Ichinose from Class B was there too.
After the principal finished speaking, it was soon time for the student council president, Manabu Horikita, to give his speech.
Yi Chen looked at Manabu Horikita, then looked at Horikita Suzune.
Yi Chen smiled disdainfully:
"Seeing these siblings up close, their looks really are top-tier."
Yi Chen stood in the middle of the crowd, right next to Horikita Suzune.
Horikita Suzune noticed Yi Chen staring at her with a silly grin and gave him a look of contempt.
The assembly soon came to an end.
Everyone went to their respective classrooms, and Yi Chen found the seat at the very back by the wall on the left and sat down.
In front of him was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and to his front right was Horikita Suzune.
Further to the right were a red-haired girl, a red-haired boy, and various background characters... he couldn't remember them all.
Just then, a blond-haired boy stood up to lead everyone in self-introductions.
Blond boy:
"Hello everyone, the teacher hasn't arrived yet, so let's get to know each other first. My name is Yosuke Hirata."
The Angel's voice came again:
Task issued:
"Give a self-introduction with style."
(The system will evaluate the task and provide a corresponding card.)
Task failure: Eradication.
Yi Chen:
"..."
"A self-introduction with style? Isn't this just asking me to die of embarrassment? No, wait, failing the task literally means I die..."
Soon, the self-introductions reached Yi Chen.
The whole class looked at this handsome youth, expecting his introduction.
By this time, Yi Chen had already fought 300 rounds in his own mind, and finally:
Yi Chen was full of tears inside as he made peace with himself, thinking:
"It's fine, as long as I clear the game, I can go back. By then, no one will know me anyway. Goodbye, my right to choose a mate in this other world."
Yi Chen stood up, looked at everyone, and kicked the desk in front of him over.
The desk hit the floor with a loud crash, startling the whole class, and quite a few people began to curse at Yi Chen.
Yi Chen stretched, then stepped onto the desk with a gloomy expression:
"Oi, oi, you little brats sitting here, you're acting pretty cocky. Let me introduce myself, I'm Yi Chen. If I don't like the look of someone, I just slap them."
"One slap for Class D, two slaps for Class C, three slaps for Class B, and I'll kick anyone from Class A flying. You better remember this: I will stand above all of you."
The background characters stared at Yi Chen, completely dumbfounded.
The Angel's voice:
"Task complete."
Evaluation: S
The host has successfully shocked everyone present.
Obtained one Diamond Card.
After finishing his introduction, Yi Chen silently lowered his head and lifted the desk back up, glancing at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in front of him. He was looking at him with a gloomy expression.
Yi Chen looked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and thought, it's over:
"No way, did I provoke Ayanokoji? It's over, am I going to be expelled immediately?"
Yi Chen hurriedly said to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka:
"Sorry classmate, I didn't mean it, please forgive me."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked at the apologizing Yi Chen:
"Is this person schizophrenic? Or is he just putting on an act?"
Just like that, the self-introductions continued, and many people were still whispering about Yi Chen.
Suzune looked at Yi Chen with an expression of pure disgust.
