Class B

Once all the classmates had arrived, the first order of business was naturally self-introductions.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ichinose Honami." She smiled and waved, her warmth bright but not blinding.

"It feels wonderful to be classmates with all of you. As for me, I enjoy interacting with people and treasure my friends."

"I hope we can all get along well. Nice to meet you!"

"Ichinose-san is right!"

Ichinose truly lived up to being the person with the highest Affinity in the original work. Her words were like a spring sun, instantly bridging the distance with everyone.

"I'm Shibata Sō. I like all kinds of sports, but football is my favorite."

"I'm..."

"I'm Kanzaki Ryūji..."

"I'm..."

Kitagawa Kai quietly matched faces to names, filing the information away without a fuss.

Most of them were just background characters.

In terms of looks, aside from Ichinose Honami, no one particularly stood out.

It seemed Class D's girls were of higher quality.

Before long, the vast majority of Class B had finished their self-introductions.

When it was Kitagawa Kai's turn, he stood up lazily.

"I'm Kitagawa Kai. I know a bit about everything, and I don't have any special hobbies."

Class B was full of adorable little angels. After the introductions, the class atmosphere had already grown harmonious.

Small groups clustered together, chatting enthusiastically.

Tap tap tap!

With the sound of footsteps, a cute-looking female teacher reeking of alcohol walked in holding a roll book and stood before the podium.

"Everyone, hurry back to your seats~"

The classroom, which had been slightly noisy, instantly fell silent as everyone straightened their backs.

"Hello, everyone. I'm your homeroom teacher, Hoshinomiya Chie, and I'll also be teaching you English."

The teacher on the podium introduced herself while writing her name and phone number on the blackboard.

Kitagawa Kai looked up, observing this Class B homeroom teacher from the original work.

She had fluffy, soft light brown curly hair naturally draped over her shoulders, with small hair accessories dotting the strands, adding a youthful touch.

Even her fitted teacher's uniform couldn't hide her impressive figure, the hem of her skirt swaying slightly as she moved, outlining lively lines.

Hoshinomiya Chie wore a sweet, gentle smile on her face, looking more like a vibrant young girl than a teacher.

"First, congratulations to everyone on your enrollment. The school doesn't implement a class-change system, so the classmates in this room will be your companions for the next three years. I hope you'll all get along well."

"This also means I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next three years."

"Ooh!"

Cheers erupted in the classroom.

They were celebrating no class changes and having a cute homeroom teacher.

Hoshinomiya Chie handed out phones to the students while explaining enrollment notes—nothing more than dormitory assignments, class schedules, and the like.

Kitagawa Kai picked up his phone and quickly checked it. The functions were no different from phones on the market, and the apps were all there.

The only difference was that access to certain applications was restricted, and there was no way to contact the outside world.

Once everyone had their phones, Hoshinomiya Chie's syrupy voice continued, drawing everyone's attention back to the podium.

"Next, I need to emphasize the school's special rules~"

"Our school operates on a fully enclosed boarding system. That means you'll only live on campus for the next three years."

The special boarding arrangement had been stated in the admission notice, so hearing this, the Class B students didn't show much dissatisfaction.

"Of course, for everyone's physical and mental health and quality of life, aside from the classrooms, the school has well-equipped facilities for entertainment and leisure."

"Whether it's restaurants, cafes, gyms, or karaoke rooms, everything is available."

"And you don't have to spend a single yen. The school uses an electronic currency called Points for all purchases. Everything you need for daily life must be bought by spending Points."

"One Point has the purchasing power of one yen."

"Now, enter your initial student ID and password, check the Points on your phone. The 100,000 for this month has already been issued. This is the school's reward based on your abilities." Hoshinomiya Chie said, holding up her phone.

"From now on, Points will be distributed on the 1st of every month~"

"A hundred thousand? Seriously?"

"Is this for real?"

"Getting a hundred thousand yen every month just for coming to school? Is this heaven?"

"I must go and restore the Han dynasty!"

The classroom instantly became noisy and bustling. Every student opened their terminal to check.

Then their faces brimmed with ecstasy. For ordinary students, one hundred thousand points was definitely a substantial sum.

"Everyone, no need to doubt. How you use these points is your own freedom. You can transfer them to others, but there can be no threatening or intimidating behavior. The school's punishment for bullying is quite severe, you know." Hoshinomiya Chie gave a definitive reply.

But many people furrowed their brows slightly.

Would the school really be this generous?

"Kitagawa-kun, we actually received 100,000 points?"

Ichinose Honami's face carried doubt and confusion as she tilted her head and asked softly.

Kitagawa Kai withdrew his gaze from appraising Hoshinomiya Chie and turned to look at Ichinose beside him.

"Ichinose-san, you heard correctly. We have indeed received one hundred thousand points."

He tapped a few times on his phone and pulled up the points inquiry screen.

Remaining Points: 100,000

The number was clear and visible, true and without error.

"However, it is indeed a bit unusual."

Kitagawa Kai suddenly raised his hand, the motion crisp and decisive, standing out conspicuously in the noisy classroom.

"Sensei, may I ask a question now?"

Standing at the podium, Hoshinomiya Chie had been secretly observing the first-year Class B students, wearing her trademark sweet smile.

She watched with keen interest as these new students went from initial confusion to wild joy upon hearing about the one hundred thousand points.

Upon hearing Kitagawa Kai's voice, her gaze quickly locked onto the boy who had raised his hand.

"This student, let me see... you're Kitagawa Kai-kun, right?" Hoshinomiya Chie said cheerfully as she flipped through the class roster. "I can answer any question you have."

"I'd like to ask, will the points deposited each month always be one hundred thousand?"

"I explained this quite clearly earlier, you know. I'm also envious of you all—being able to casually spend one hundred thousand points every month." Hoshinomiya hadn't expected the first question to be somewhat hard to answer, so she just brushed it off lightly.

"Sensei, you said earlier that points are automatically deposited each month, but you didn't specify the exact amount, did you?"

The smile on Hoshinomiya Chie's face, upon hearing this question, nearly couldn't hold.

The smile on Hoshinomiya Chie's face, upon hearing this question, maintained that sweet, innocent expression, but deep in her eyes, a barely perceptible flicker of excitement flashed through.

Here it comes! This is the feeling!

As expected! This guy really noticed!

I need to look into him properly and see if I can keep Kozue's class stuck in Class D.

"Oh my, Kitagawa-kun, you really listen carefully! What an observant, good child."

"But I can only say this much about that question for now."

At this moment, the students who had been immersed in the dream of one hundred thousand points quieted down.

"Alright, time's about up. I still need to go prepare for the opening ceremony. If you have any questions, come ask me at the office."

With that, she didn't even give anyone a chance to ask another question and scurried out of the classroom.
