The System Forces Me to Confess to Kushida Kikyo

Yang Ye's final memory remained fixed on the moment his heart suddenly stopped from exhaustion while staying up late to binge the latest volume of Classroom of the Elite.

His vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he did not see the stark white ceiling of a hospital, but a minimalist, Japanese-style dormitory room. Strange memories surged like a tidal wave, crashing into his mind.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

He had become Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, a student in Class 1-D at Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School—the man who, in the original work, was as cold and calculating as a monster.

Before he could fully digest this inconceivable reality, a cold, emotionless voice rang directly inside his head:

[Ding! Host soul fusion complete. Ultimate Confession System officially activated!]

[Newbie Task Issued: Confess to Kushida Kikyo of Class 1-D.]

[Task Requirements: Must be completed within 24 hours in front of at least five classmates. The confession must include a blunt compliment regarding a specific part of the host's body.]

[Task Success Reward: Random skills or attribute points will be granted based on the body part praised and the target's reaction.]

[Task Failure Penalty: The system will dissociate, and the host's soul will be annihilated due to its inability to exist independently.]

Yang Ye—or rather, the current Ayanokoji Kiyotaka—felt his pupils constrict sharply.

Soul annihilation? This wasn't a multiple-choice question; it was a death warrant!

He quickly recalled everything about Kushida Kikyo—that angelic, highly popular beautiful girl in Class D. Sunny, cheerful, and helpful, she appeared gentle and friendly to everyone, yet deep down, she hid an unknown dark side and a fierce desire for revenge.

Confessing to her, and with a "specific body part compliment" at that? This system was practically shoving him into a pit of fire. If he handled this poorly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But he had no other choice.

The next day, during lunch break, in the classroom.

The opportunity had arrived.

Most students had finished their lunch and returned to the classroom, gathering in small groups to chat. Kushida Kikyo was surrounded by several girls, discussing something with a radiant smile; her natural charisma seemed to come with its own halo.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka (Yang Ye) took a deep breath, suppressing both the inherent calmness of the original host and the intense agitation of a transmigrator. He stood up, his movements slightly stiff yet exceptionally firm, and walked toward Kushida Kikyo.

His actions immediately drew many eyes. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was known in the class for being reclusive, expressionless, and almost never initiating contact with others. His sudden move naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.

He stopped when he reached Kushida Kikyo. The surroundings quieted down significantly, and everyone looked at him with confusion.

Kushida Kikyo also looked up, her face still wearing that perfect, angelic smile, tinged with just the right amount of bewilderment: "Ayanokoji-kun? Is something the matter?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka (Yang Ye) looked at her expressionlessly. Following the system's prompt, he deliberately lowered his gaze, letting it fall upon her beautifully shaped legs, which were encased in black over-the-knee socks. He remained silent, as if gathering his thoughts; this brief pause made the atmosphere in the room even more subtle and expectant.

Then, he spoke in his unique, monotone voice, clearly and distinctly:

"Kushida, I like you."

"..."

!!!

A single sentence, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, left the entire Class D classroom instantly silent. Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in disbelief.

What did he just say? Confessing to Kushida-san? That Ayanokoji?!

The perfect smile on Kushida Kikyo's face froze for a split second, a flicker of extreme astonishment and scrutiny flashing across her eyes, but it was quickly masked by an even brighter, and seemingly shy (at least on the surface), smile: "Eh? Aya, Ayanokoji-kun? What are you suddenly saying..."

However, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka (Yang Ye)'s performance was not yet over. Following the system's requirements, he continued in that flat, emotionless tone, adding the most critical line:

"Especially your legs; the lines are perfect."
