A Story Starting from Classroom of the Elite
Author: Traveler of the First Journey
Synopsis:
Reborn into a world of daily life anime, possessing the dual advantages of a second life and a cheat system.
Tanaka Yukishin chooses to walk a path different from the masses.
But an extraordinary brute needs power.
Lacking sufficient strength, he decides to develop steadily.
After years of bitter training, Advanced Nurturing High School sends an admission invitation.
Refusing his parents' persuasion, he is admitted through a shady deal despite his desire to slack off.
He decides to let this broken school witness the willfulness of the strong.
Sakayanagi Arisu: Arisu was born frail and raised in a courtyard. Upon first seeing Ayanokoji in her childhood, he was deeply etched into her heart. She has long been drowned in the word "genius."
Later, having luckily met Teacher Tanaka, she finally realized how wonderful the world is.
I have heard that the best reward for a teacher is for the student to surpass them.
Of course, Arisu is not arrogant enough to surpass her teacher with her own strength alone.
So, don't blame me. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for being too strong, Teacher.
Tanaka Yukishin: Arisu, feel free to do as you please.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka: If I defeat you, I can gain my freedom.
Tanaka Yukishin: Ayanokoji, are you a cold-blooded monster or a fraud like a paper tiger? I shall wait and see.
Toyokawa Kiyotsugu: When it comes to being a kept man, I would call you the strongest. Eating soft rice with a hard attitude—what kind of realm is that exactly?
Tanaka Yukishin: I heard you love your daughter very much. Since you offended me and are unwilling to pay the price, then let your daughter pay it back.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
As a transmigrator with a cheat, Tanaka Yukishin had always thought he would be the freest person in this ordinary world.
After all, who could defy him, someone who possessed the power of a cheat?
For the past sixteen years, that had indeed been the case.
Whenever there was trouble, his cheat would resolve it with a dimensional strike.
Until a few months ago... when he suffered his first defeat.
"Yukishin-kun, are you really not considering advancing directly to this school?" The middle-aged teacher wiped his sweat as he pushed the recommendation form over. "Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School is a prestigious national institution. As long as you pass the entrance exam, all tuition fees are waived."
"No need."
Tanaka Yukishin sipped his cola and pushed the recommendation form back.
It was truly absurd; even such generous and rich conditions couldn't win him over.
What exactly is wrong with this student?
The middle-aged teacher in charge of admissions was starting to sweat profusely.
Fortunately, the family group nearby stepped in to help.
"Um, Yukishin. Your father and I are very open-minded people. If you don't want to go, we can understand."
"But, where does your confidence to refuse come from? You are 16 now, about to be a high school student. You should at least understand that in a few years, you will have to step into society."
"Without money, one cannot survive."
...I had always followed a policy of steady development, to the point where my family only saw me as an ordinary high school student.
Their persuasion now is also for my own good, hoping I can have a better life in the future.
Should I reveal some of my abilities?
Forget it, I'll just go.
I would end up at some other school anyway if I didn't go to Advanced Nurturing.
Besides, the high school has an entrance exam; if I couldn't pass it, they wouldn't have sent me an admission letter.
With this thought in mind, Tanaka Yukishin finally signed his name on the recommendation form.
He never expected that the steed of "how things develop" would not gallop along the path of "his expectations."
Instead, it charged in the opposite direction with a do-or-die momentum.
He was admitted.
Yes, he was admitted.
It was truly incredible.
Even though he had done so much to achieve his goal.
The first was when he used his fountain pen to tear through the paper while signing, hoping to provoke the middle-aged teacher.
Yet, the man merely smiled slightly, acting as if nothing had happened.
This was normal; if such a casual attempt had actually worked, it would have been an unexpected surprise.
A mature adult would not be affected by such petty tricks.
But the next two things were heavy hitters.
He handed in a blank paper during the entrance exam.
He spouted nonsense and gave indifferent answers during the interview questions.
Yet, in the end, he was still accepted.
When he received the acceptance letter, he was furious.
The feeling of this defeat was comparable to that famous line from the Chinese national football team's General Fan, a regular in the parody community: "This humiliating defeat..."
However, since things had reached this point, complaining was meaningless.
Upholding the great philosophy of Emperor Wu of Han: "If the enemy can go there, so can I."
Tanaka Yukishin decided that once he arrived at the school, he would set off a few big fireworks for everyone to enjoy.
If you won't be decent, I'll help you become decent!
Because of this incident, he gained a preliminary understanding of this school, which was famous throughout Japan.
That is, it was an eccentric school where the level of backroom dealings was just as high as its university entrance rate: one hundred percent.
It was just as full of dark humor as the anime in his memories.
Worldly affairs are hard to predict, but they couldn't change faster than Tanaka Yukishin's plans.
Since it was a done deal, he shifted his mindset to treat it like going to an amusement park for some fun, intending to drop out and transfer in his second or third year.
He had always been a person who didn't really care.
His main vibe was going with the flow and asking questions when he didn't understand.
While he was venting comfortably in his heart, in reality, Tanaka Yukishin was miserably enduring the heat and stuffiness under the bus shelter.
"School bus, when are you coming?"
"Right, I love you too."
Accompanied by the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground, a white bus pulled up to the platform.
Tanaka Yukishin stood up and shot forward like an arrow.
His heart surged with excitement, as if he were rushing to a date with a lover.
He stepped onto the bus, and the air conditioning hit his face, washing away the heat from his body.
Tanaka Yukishin let out a comfortable sigh.
Air conditioning was truly the supreme enjoyment in the sweltering summer.
At this moment, the seats on the bus were already partially filled; on the left were a few students wearing the same school uniform, and on the right sat two salarymen and three middle-aged people.
Tanaka Yukishin walked to the last row and sat by the window.
Unlike his earlier jest, he was truly keeping an appointment this time.
However, the other party was not a cute girl, but an unknown existence.
He opened his Cheat, and a blue light screen appeared before his eyes.
[Nine Turns]
Tanaka Yukishin
Gender: Male
Primary Identity: Celestial Transmigrator (Unacclimated)
Associated Gifts: Dragon Bloodline (Meager), Child of Destiny, Aura of Hegemony, Mastery of Arts, Martial Arts Prodigy [Effects temporarily halved]
Secondary Identity: (To be generated after the entrance ceremony ends)
It was the same as always; the only change was that the secondary identity was about to be generated.
He tapped his consciousness on the [Cheat Customer Service] icon to the side.
Soon, a long-lost voice echoed in his mind—the Cheat Customer Service had reappeared after twelve years.
"Yo, Yukishin, you kid are still practicing in single-player mode? Can't you show some change?"
"It's changing, it's changing. There will be results very soon."
"Your 'it's changing, it's changing'—is that like those novel authors who only create a title and haven't written a single word of the outline or summary, yet tell people who are urging them for updates that they are 'writing it, writing it'?"
"No, within a week, I will definitely set off a big firework."
Having received an unexpected reply, the customer service agent was a bit curious.
"How rare. What made you change your mind?"
"If you want to know, I'll tell you."
Originally, Tanaka Yukishin's plan was to fly solo and avoid trouble, cultivating peacefully until his divine arts reached perfection before emerging into the world.
He would decide his subsequent path based on his actual strength at that time.
If he were very strong, he would perform the Song of Slaughter and Fucking in front of the entire world, announcing his arrival.
Then, he would defeat the whole world single-handedly, declaring his coronation as the ruler of the globe.
If he weren't very strong, he would remain hidden in the upper echelons of human society, enjoying a life of luxury and debauchery.
Who would have thought that this Advanced Nurturing High School would be so tactless as to defy his will.
In that case, he had no choice but to put the principle of "adaptability leads to success" into practice.
"Interesting, interesting. You actually possess a hint of the aura of a supreme hegemon now, though it's a bit like child's play."
"From your perspective, naturally. But if you shift the viewpoint to the planet I live on, narrow the scope to the school, and fix the status to that of a student, I am the real deal."
"To celebrate your transformation, I am going to give you a gift."
After a classic ding sound, Tanaka Yukishin saw a red notification appear on his cheat interface.
He clicked on it to take a look.
"As a new high school student about to enroll in Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, the generous system will provide you with free information to make your school life better."
"Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School is a national high school located in Tokyo, Japan, famous for being equipped with the latest facilities and boasting a 100% rate of advancement to higher education and employment. Furthermore, tuition is free and room and board are provided."
It seemed to be nothing but nonsense.
Does this count as a gift?
