The classroom door was pushed open gently, and a female teacher with soft, long hair and a sweet temperament walked in. She wore a relaxing smile, appearing both approachable and easygoing.

"Hello everyone~ Nice to meet you all. I am Chie Hoshinomiya, and from today on, I will be your homeroom teacher for Class B, as well as your English instructor."

Chie Hoshinomiya placed her teaching materials lightly on the podium, her gaze sweeping gently over the freshmen, who still carried an air of youthful innocence and unease. Her tone was light and crisp, creating a subtle balance with her sweet appearance.

"The entrance ceremony will be held in the main auditorium in an hour, so I will take this time to go over some important matters first."

She paused, then continued in a clear and earnest tone:

"This school implements a fixed-class system. From today, everyone here will be members of Class B, and you will spend the next three years together."

The classroom fell silent, and everyone subconsciously focused their attention.

Chie Hoshinomiya picked up the student handbook from the desk and tapped her fingertip lightly on a key section.

"Our school is a full boarding facility. Without a valid reason and permission, leaving the school grounds is strictly prohibited. You are also not allowed to contact the outside world. The school's cafeteria, convenience stores, and various facilities are all fully equipped, so you basically don't need to worry about your daily life."

As she said this, her smile deepened slightly, and her eyes held a hint of something inscrutable.

"Additionally—starting today, you will be using the school's unique S-Point system."

Upon hearing the word "system," many students showed expressions of curiosity.

Chie Hoshinomiya gestured lightly, prompting everyone to take out the student mobile phones they had just received.

"Just use the dedicated app on your phone and scan the QR code on your student ID to log in."

Following her instructions, a series of soft operation sounds echoed through the classroom.

Kira also calmly took out his device, scanned the code, and logged in, all in one fluid motion.

The next second, the number that popped up on the screen made many people subconsciously hold their breath.

100,000

A clear six-digit figure was displayed brightly in the balance column.

"That's right," Chie Hoshinomiya said, watching the students' surprised expressions as she explained in a light tone, "S-Points are automatically distributed on the 1st of every month. 1 point is equivalent to 1 yen. They can be used normally at all facilities on campus, with the exact same purchasing power as the yen. In this school, points can buy anything."

As her words fell, a wave of irrepressible commotion rippled through the classroom.

A monthly living allowance of 100,000 yen was undoubtedly a huge sum for high school students.

Surprise, excitement, and disbelief spread quietly throughout the room.

Some were already calculating how to spend it in their heads, while others could not hide the joy on their faces. Yoshikage Kira looked at the number on the screen, his eyes remaining calm and waveless.

The conditions were excessively good.

So good that one couldn't help but suspect the price behind them.

He did not show any abnormality, simply putting his phone away quietly while continuing to listen to the homeroom teacher, all while silently noting this rule in his heart.

Advanced Nurturing High School.

100% advancement and employment rate.

100,000 points per month.

Full boarding.

Fixed-class system.

Piece by piece, the information was organized, arranged, and combined in his mind.

Kira lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips resting gently on the edge of his notebook.

This school was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

And the only thing he had to do was observe calmly, hide himself, maintain order, and spend three years peacefully in a corner where he wouldn't be noticed.

On the podium, Chie Hoshinomiya still wore a sweet smile, as if she were just talking about the most ordinary thing in the world.

Yet, the fleeting depth in her eyes was precisely captured by Yoshikage Kira.

The game had only just begun.

The homeroom teacher's speech concluded, and the news she announced acted like a depth charge, sending ripples through the class. Just as the atmosphere began to settle, Honami Ichinose suddenly turned her head, her voice soft to avoid disturbing others.

"Kira-kun, do you think this school... is the same as what we imagined before?"

Kira glanced at her sideways; her eyes were clear and sincere, devoid of probing or unnecessary calculation.

His tone was flat, without much emotional fluctuation: "The sense of order is strong, but the rules are not yet clear. It is not suitable to make easy judgments for now."

"I think so too." Ichinose nodded gently, a hint of subtle curiosity in her eyes. "Even though it's touted as the freest top-tier high school, from the moment we entered, the security, the architecture, and the atmosphere all give off a very rigorous feeling."

She paused, as if thinking of something, and continued in a low voice: "Like giving students 100,000 points a month as a living allowance, plus the claimed 100% employment rate, it's just..." Honami Ichinose paused, searching for an appropriate adjective.

"It's irrational." Kira followed up directly on Ichinose's words and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. He spread out the part of his class notes for Ichinose to see.

100% advancement and employment rate.

100,000 points per month.

Full boarding.

Fixed class.

Information was being organized, arranged, and combined within his mind.

Yoshikage Kira lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips resting gently against the edge of his notebook.

"This school is absolutely not as simple as it appears on the surface. There are rules we have yet to discover."

His answer was concise and rational, devoid of unnecessary sentiment, yet it struck exactly at what Honami Ichinose had been thinking. A flicker of surprise crossed the girl's eyes; she had not expected this seemingly reticent boy to possess such clear perception. She had originally assumed Kira was merely quiet by nature, but she now realized he was far more composed than his appearance suggested.

"You seem to have a real knack for analysis, Kira-kun." Ichinose offered a gentle smile. "If there's anything I'm unclear about later, could I discuss it with you? I'm always worried I might accidentally do something wrong."

"Very well." Kira did not refuse, his tone remaining steady. "Before the rules are clarified, confirming information with one another is the most efficient method."

He did not dislike this level of moderate interaction.

It involved no interests, no conflicts, and was merely an exchange of information that would not disrupt the peaceful daily life he pursued.

Moreover, Honami Ichinose possessed no aggression and gave off no uncomfortable sense of pressure; maintaining simple communication with her was, in fact, the safest choice. Yoshikage Kira liked talking to intelligent people.
