It's the Saintess!

In April, one could see beautiful cherry blossom trees, with large clusters of blossoms blooming and falling—though it was a bit unfriendly to those with pollen allergies or rhinitis.

Beihai knew this was a special day, whether it was escaping the suffocating family or heading to the unknown school.

Either way, it got Beihai out the door, and seeing the falling cherry blossoms, he couldn't help but praise them. It was good weather, and he felt much freer.

After all, tuition was fully waived for three years, meaning Beihai didn't have to figure out part-time jobs or scrape together ways to survive. He could even have a decent learning environment—how could that not be joyful?

"So this is freedom?"

Arriving at the bus stop, he found the bus had already left ahead of him. Beihai had no choice but to slowly walk to school.

The culprit behind all this was probably his mental fatigue, which made his movements sluggish too.

The effect of the Inner Roll King was good, but the burden on the body was indeed heavy. Beihai hadn't dropped dead only thanks to the system propping him up.

If it were a train, Beihai would find it troublesome—he'd probably have to wait for the next one. But for a bus, it wasn't necessary, since bus stops were spaced close together.

You only needed to walk a few minutes to reach the next stop. By the time Beihai finally made it to school and saw his assigned class on the bulletin board, there were four classes, represented by four English letters: A, B, C, D.

Just then, a lively voice suddenly rang out behind Beihai.

"This classmate, you're a bit late. You need to watch the time—the opening ceremony is about to start. You probably can't go to the classroom now. Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kikyo Kushida. Nice to meet you."

Hearing the voice, Beihai turned around and found a pretty girl with orange hair. She had a particularly good figure, and was she really only sixteen? That size?

Beihai's radar went off. His Goblin trait had activated. In other words, she was a saint. Why would a saint be so nice to a goblin?

As a goblin, he had self-awareness. Didn't they say goblins often look in the mirror and then ask the chieftain?

Beihai had a guess now: this saint was nice to everyone, the kind of all-loving type, or else she had another motive.

Facing this saint, Beihai's face unconsciously reddened. It seemed that being talked to by a pretty girl made him uncomfortable, yet also somewhat eager. His words even came out stammering.

"Th-thank you, Kushida-san. My name is Beihai. I just overslept a bit, that's why I'm late. I'm really sorry."

As he spoke, Beihai scratched his head. With his thick glasses and long hair, Kushida Kikyo could tell at a glance without explanation: he stayed up late gaming, a total shut-in otaku.

Kushida Kikyo seemed amused by Beihai's appearance. She clapped her hands, a bright smile on her face, and said cheerfully, "How cute. You don't actually need to explain to me. No one's going to blame you."

That one sentence completely ended the match.

Beihai obediently followed behind her to the opening ceremony venue.

Kushida Kikyo turned around, still wearing a radiant smile, but inwardly she was cursing Beihai.

An otaku, huh. Disgusting. Who wants to know all that stuff about him? Has he never seen a pretty girl in his life? But guys like him are the easiest to control.

No challenge at all, even a bit boring. Just a flick of the finger and I can reel him in like a fish.

After she turned, Beihai's shy expression vanished. He was also thinking to himself. Looks like she's the type who wants to get along with everyone, becoming the universally acknowledged goddess type.

And generally, girls like this are two-faced. On the surface, they don't look down on anyone and smile at everyone, but they probably have plenty of inner thoughts.

Still, my act just now should make her lose interest quickly. That appearance was way too easy to conquer. She won't spend much time on me.

The opening ceremony was pretty ordinary, no different from other schools. The principal and faculty just welcomed the new students, served up some motivational chicken soup, and ended with some PUA.

Beihai stood behind Kushida Kikyo—that was also her kindness. The persona Beihai had just shown made it hard to refuse, and he even had to act a little secretly pleased.

Kushida Kikyo smiled, looking as if she'd expected this. She was completely sure she'd successfully conquered Beihai.

Meanwhile, Beihai estimated that after this wave, she probably wouldn't come looking for him again.

After the ceremony ended, it was time to return to their respective classes. As they dispersed, Beihai noticed that the discipline of these four classes seemed a bit different.

When his class disbanded, there was no temporary class representative. It was very scattered, and everyone just split up directly, as if there was no interim leader.

Logically, when schools organize such ceremonies, shouldn't the teacher first lead the event and then take the class back to the classroom?

Why did it feel like most of the management was left to the students themselves?

Some upperclassmen already had class presidents, which didn't surprise Beihai. But for the lower grades, all four classes relied entirely on self-discipline, and the gap was way too big, wasn't it?

Beihai shook his head. What use was it for him to care about this? It didn't interfere with his studies anyway.

Returning to his class and sitting at his desk, Beihai took out his textbooks and started studying until the homeroom teacher walked in.

According to Beihai's usual thinking, the first person to come in should be the class's homeroom teacher. Sure enough, his guess was correct. She introduced herself as the class advisor, Sae Chabashira.

And for the next three years, she would be in charge—meaning no class reassignments.

That was nothing special. In Beihai's previous life's vocational school, the homeroom teacher also taught the same class for three years.

What caught Beihai's attention most was what she said about points and the S System. It could purchase anything imaginable, with a 1:1 exchange rate. New points would be deposited every month, and this month it was 100,000 points.

Also, the school was extremely strict about bullying and would crack down hard, so there was no need to worry about points being taken away.

The classroom was far from calm, especially after the announcement of 100,000 points.

The homeroom teacher didn't stop them. She waited for everyone to quiet down on their own, and since no one raised any questions, she left directly.

She left very decisively. The moment she was out the door, the classroom erupted into complete chaos, the noise buzzing in Beihai's ears.
