The Suppression by Manabu Horikita

And so, everyone spent their time happily at this school, and soon the end of the month arrived.

Today, Chabashira-sensei came to teach as usual, while the students continued to do whatever they pleased.

The next day, the 1st of the new month.

Many students were noisy in the classroom today, while Yi Chen was reading his manga at his seat.

"Hey, why haven't the 100,000 points been deposited yet?"

"Yeah, seriously. I bought a lot of luxury goods this month and spent all 100,000, so I've been waiting for today."

The chatter reached Yi Chen's ears.

Yi Chen glanced at his phone.

On the left was his own face, with a simple black layered haircut and sharp, well-defined features; he was incredibly handsome.

Angela Yi Chen

Advanced Nurturing High School

Points: 80378

Yi Chen:

Has the plot finally started to move? It's a good thing I still have plenty of points left.

Chabashira-sensei walked slowly into the classroom:

"Everyone, return to your seats and be quiet."

Yamauchi Haruki saw Chabashira-sensei and immediately complained:

"Teacher, why haven't the points for this month arrived yet?"

The plot proceeded as normal.

Yi Chen looked at Yamauchi Haruki with disdain:

This silly kid, I remember this cannon fodder was the first one Ayanokoji got rid of. I really can't hold it in.

As a result, he truly couldn't hold it in and let out a soft laugh.

Horikita Suzune, who was sitting nearby, looked at the giggling Yi Chen with contempt.

Yi Chen didn't notice, but at this moment, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka also secretly turned his head to glance at Yi Chen.

Now, Chabashira-sensei told everyone present that the points for this month had already been issued, and then she analyzed the mistakes made in class.

She berated us bunch of idiots.

"The points this school gives every month are earned based on class performance and evaluation."

"According to this month's review results, your points are 0."

"This school measures students by ability."

"You are trash with an evaluation of 0."

Most of the students were dumbfounded.

A few students, relying on their own judgment, had saved many points.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked coldly at Horikita Suzune and Yi Chen.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka:

This Yi Chen is also a smart person. I didn't expect this class to not be entirely made up of losers.

Horikita Suzune:

This Yi Chen, did he know it would turn out like this from the beginning?

Soon, Chabashira told us the reason for the 0 points and also informed us about the upcoming midterm exam.

We could earn a maximum of 100 points based on our grades.

Chabashira-sensei announced the results of the last quiz.

They were terrible.

However, for Yi Chen, who had participated in the hellish difficulty of the college entrance exam, these Japanese papers were a piece of cake.

Every one of Yi Chen's scores was above 90.

Chabashira:

"This time, if anyone fails the exam, they will be expelled."

Many people, upon seeing their grades and hearing this statement, felt dejected about their own scores while envying Yi Chen, who had the highest score.

Soon after class, many students started asking to borrow points.

There was all sorts of pleading and playing the victim.

At this moment, the Angel who hadn't appeared for a long time spoke:

"Mission issued."

No one expelled this time.

Introduction:

Help the students complete this exam and ensure no one is expelled.

Reward:

"One Gold Card."

Failure:

"Erasure."

Yi Chen:

"This is too simple. I can just AFK while Ayanokoji handles it. But if there's a butterfly effect, I'm done for. I have to keep a close eye on things."

Angel:

"The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is the same. Please complete the task, Host."

At this moment, Horikita Suzune invited Yi Chen and Ayanokoji to have a meal.

Yi Chen thought to himself:

What's going on? Did she discover that I still have a lot of points left? Whatever, this also concerns my life. I must go and see.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the cafeteria to eat.

Horikita Suzune took the initiative to bring up a topic:

"What do you two think about the midterm exam?"

Yi Chen pondered for a moment and said calmly:

"As long as you study seriously, passing isn't difficult."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka watched quietly.

Horikita Suzune, however, frowned slightly:

"But given everyone's current level, it's very difficult for many people to achieve that."

Yi Chen:

"Then I don't know."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Yi Chen thought:

That's definitely impossible. Some people wouldn't even pass if they copied the answers. Aside from buying the answers, I can't think of any other way.

It still comes down to Ayanokoji.

Horikita Suzune:

"What about you, Ayanokoji? What do you think?"

Ayanokoji:

"I don't know."

Horikita Suzune shook her head helplessly:

"Perhaps we can organize a study group and help each other."

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen hurriedly agreed:

"That's actually a pretty good idea."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remained expressionless, but he did not object either.

Thus, the three of them began to discuss how to form groups and which subjects each person would be responsible for explaining.

Just then, Kushida Kikyo walked over and asked curiously what they were discussing.

After learning it was about how to deal with the midterm exam, she expressed that she wanted to join as well.

Yi Chen looked at her and thought:

Kushida is also quite a clever person. Using all sorts of methods to capture the hearts of other students—it's truly impressive.

Horikita Suzune thought about it and decided that an extra person meant extra help, so she agreed.

Just like that, a temporary exam preparation alliance was initially formed.

The next afternoon, Yi Chen was assigned to a group with the three red-haired background characters.

Yi Chen discovered that they were truly dim-witted; these three couldn't even memorize the most basic mathematical formulas.

Yi Chen couldn't help but retort:

"Have you guys actually been studying at all?"

Sudo Ken scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"I'm going to be a basketball player in the future, so I don't feel like studying is of any use."

Yi Chen covered his forehead, thinking to himself that if it weren't for the fact that they were all classmates, he would really want to ditch them immediately.

Even though Yi Chen tried his best to teach them, the results were clear; there was no way for them to pass in such a short time.

The study session soon came to an end.

Horikita Suzune gathered the group together, her expression cold and aloof:

"How is the progress on your end? Was there any substantial effect?"

Yi Chen:

"It probably didn't have much effect."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remained silent.

Kushida simply offered comfort from the side.

After a brief exchange, everyone went their separate ways to attend to their own business.

Because of his self-introduction, Yi Chen didn't actually have any particularly close friends.

Tonight, Yi Chen planned to go buy a drink, and just then, he heard some movement in the alley nearby.

He leaned in to take a look.

Horikita Suzune was being lectured by her brother, Manabu Horikita.

When Horikita Suzune noticed Yi Chen approaching, she instantly felt ashamed and uneasy.

Seeing this scene, Yi Chen thought to himself:

Damn, the Student Council President. As for these two, I'd better pretend I didn't see anything.

Manabu Horikita saw Yi Chen, adjusted his glasses, and wore a cold, indifferent expression.

In the blink of an eye, Manabu Horikita launched a back kick toward Yi Chen.

Yi Chen immediately raised his arms to block, unable to react in time.

Yi Chen:

"Wait a moment."

Manabu Horikita quickly closed the distance and struck with a palm; Yi Chen immediately kicked out with his lower leg, and Manabu Horikita reacted quickly, raising his knee to block.

Manabu Horikita's eyes turned sharp.

Manabu Horikita clapped left, then right; Yi Chen barely managed to defend against the left and right strikes.

At this moment, Yi Chen's heart was pounding, and his adrenaline was surging.

Manabu Horikita blasted a palm strike, and Yi Chen raised his elbow.

Yi Chen seized the opportunity to unleash a Whirlwind Triple Kick.

Manabu Horikita dodged the first strike, but there was a second; he blocked with both arms, and for the third, Manabu Horikita prepared to parry.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune shouted:

"Stop it, don't fight anymore!"

Hearing this, Manabu Horikita disdainfully brushed the dust off his sleeves and looked at Yi Chen coldly:

"Class D's Angel Yi Chen, entrance exam scores of 60 in all subjects. Class D really is full of hidden talents."

At this moment, Angel Yi Chen's heart was still beating violently, and sweat trickled down his forehead.

After saying this, Manabu Horikita left behind one sentence and walked away:

"Suzune, if you want to move up a class, then struggle with all your might."

At this moment, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka also walked over from not far away, carefully sizing up both Yi Chen and Suzune.

Horikita Suzune wore an indifferent expression.

The three of them stood there without speaking until Yi Chen bought three juices and handed them to the other two.

Horikita Suzune was the first to break the silence:

"Angel Yi Chen, have you studied martial arts?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stared at Yi Chen.

Yi Chen:

"I've studied a little."

Horikita Suzune:

"You're actually quite impressive."

Afterward, the three chatted with each other, learned about the relationship between Horikita Suzune and Manabu Horikita, and finally ended the night, each returning to rest.

Yi Chen was still feeling lingering fear:

Oh my god, is this Manabu Horikita too strong? With this kind of suppression, can't I be an overpowered protagonist even with Angel?

I really didn't expect that my first time facing an anime character would be such a terrifying experience.

Yi Chen:

"Angel? I barely survived just now, is there no reward?"

Angel:

"None. The missions I issue are based on the progression of the main storyline, and your mission isn't finished yet."

Yi Chen:

"Angel, you..."
