Enrollment

School, Stadium.

The entrance ceremony for the new freshman class was held here in a grand fashion.

As the student council president, Horikita Manabu was naturally invited by the host to take the stage and deliver a brilliant speech.

It was essentially a rundown of all the various advantages the school had to offer.

However, during the speech, he specifically noticed the indifferent and impatient expressions on the faces of certain individuals from Class D and Class C.

Consequently, even though the new year had just begun, those particular freshmen were already labeled as complete dead weight in the eyes of Horikita Manabu.

After the speech concluded, in the classroom of Class D, the students assigned there quickly chose their preferred seats and began chatting in small groups.

Of course, it is hard to say whether it was luck or misfortune for a few of them to be coincidentally assigned to the same class.

And so, the scene from the school bus played out once again.

He stared at him, and she, sitting nearby, curiously stared at him.

Fortunately, no one else noticed, otherwise, it would have been hard not to associate this scene with a legendary, melodramatic love triangle.

Sitting by the window in the back row, Rinya seemed to feel that the sensation of being stared at constantly was truly uncomfortable. He curled his lip and thought to himself, It looks like I won't have any peace unless I explain things.

"What a pain..." Rinya stretched, seemingly still nostalgic for the comfort of the hot bath he had enjoyed earlier.

He then walked with lazy steps toward the seat of the person who had been staring at him. Just as the other party looked up and opened his mouth, the dark red light in the boy's eyes suddenly widened without warning. A terrifying aura instantly made the surroundings feel incredibly cold and oppressive.

"Huh? Why does it feel like the air suddenly got cold?"

"Yeah, me too. It's really strange."

Nearby, some girls voiced their confusion, yet their whispers, quiet as mosquitoes, seemed to go completely unnoticed by anyone else.

"Heh, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, long time no see."

"I thought you were dead," Ayanokoji replied calmly under the direct gaze of the terrifying eyes.

However, the corner of Rinya's eye had already keenly captured the hand the other boy was clenching behind his back out of nervousness, though he did not expose him.

Instead, he returned to his half-lidded state and said leisurely, "I'm afraid I can't tell you that. But you don't need to keep staring at me, nor do you need to ask me anything. Just understand that I have the same goal as you: I only want to spend these three years of high school in peace. I won't bother you, but I hope you won't bother me either. Otherwise, heh~"

"..."

Ayanokoji's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but after a moment of thought and a brief silence, he turned his head away.

Seeing this, Rinya naturally returned to his own seat with a calm expression.

But this whole sequence of events left Horikita Suzune, who had watched the entire thing from start to finish, completely bewildered.

"These two guys... it was one thing on the bus, but just now they were standing so close, staring at each other without saying a word. What on earth are they doing?"

"Could it be..."

Horikita Suzune seemed to think of some unspeakable scenario, immediately felt goosebumps all over, shook her head in silence, and decided not to dwell on it any further.

"Ring..."

At that moment, the bell for class rang.

The freshmen of Class D quickly returned to their seats.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Of course, a few people were still chatting away, doing as they pleased.

Seeing this as she entered, Chabashira Sae seemed long accustomed to it. After casting a look of disdain at the group, she began to have all the freshmen stand up and introduce themselves.

Afterward, she gave a rough explanation of the school's unique points system and the various rules and penalties.

Seeing that everyone was about to fall asleep, Chabashira gave a knowing smile and distributed the school-issued mobile phones to every student.

Of course, this smile was only a fleeting glimpse; as for what it meant, the group would find out later...

"Hey, look! There are 100,000 points in the phone!"

A student who received the phone quickly discovered that their point balance was a full 100,000. This meant that many things in the campus store that they couldn't afford outside could now be bought in one go.

"It... it's true! This is great, the latest skincare product I've always wanted is finally within reach," a blonde girl said, pulling her best friend aside to start planning their shopping list for after school.

The boys were already chatting in small groups.

Watching everyone get excited and worked up, Chabashira shook her head faintly. After glancing at the few students who remained cold and indifferent, she briefly explained the acquisition and deduction of class and personal points before leaving without looking back.

Seeing the homeroom teacher walk away, the classroom, which had been slightly quiet, instantly became lively again.

Many freshmen began introducing themselves to one another.

Among them, a male freshman named Hirata Yosuke attracted the most attention.

Not only was he top-tier in looks, but his tone was also very considerate and kind. Before long, he was surrounded by a group of girls clamoring for his contact information.

"Hey, he's my boyfriend, you guys should stop now."

Just as Hirata was about to be submerged by the group of girls, Karuizawa Kei, who wore her blonde hair in a high ponytail, grabbed Hirata's wrist. She pulled him out with an indignant expression and forcefully asserted her sovereignty as his girlfriend.

In contrast, on the female side, Kushida Kikyo's little angel persona was the most eye-catching. Not only was her figure stunning, but her appearance was also cute and sweet enough to make one's heart race.

On top of that, she had a gentle way of speaking and tirelessly greeted every single classmate personally to exchange contact information.

And so, he quickly gained quite a bit of support among the single boys.

In particular, for those like Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who were deeply jealous of Hirata Yosuke and were the kind of ugly guys disliked by most girls, their humble hearts finally found a shred of solace.

Of course, there were exceptions to this. Just as Kushida Kikyo thought she had obtained the contact information of everyone except Horikita Suzune, a boy sitting by the window in the back row suddenly caught her attention.

"Eh~ did I miss him when I was exchanging contacts just now?"

Kushida shook her head slightly, not thinking much of it.

She walked up to his desk and began her familiar pleasantries.

"Are you Rinya-kun? Hello."

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Kushida Kikyo. My goal is to become friends with everyone here, and I hope that in the days to come, we can create many wonderful memories together."

"So, Rinya-kun, can we be friends and exchange contact information~"

As she spoke, the girl leaned forward slightly, instantly revealing a jaw-dropping cleavage, coupled with a pitiful and pleading expression. If it were anyone else, they might have already been unable to resist and surrendered.

However, this time, the girl's target did not seem to be going along smoothly.

"Heh, is that so~ let me think about it."

Although he was speaking, Rinya's gaze remained fixed on the scenery outside from beginning to end.

"Is that so? O... okay, hehe." The girl gave an awkward laugh. She hadn't expected that after saying so much, she would only receive such an indifferent response, which left her—usually so eloquent—in a passive position for once.
