Full of Vigor

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, Class 1-A.

A middle-aged man with a steady demeanor walked into the classroom, carrying a box in his arms, and stepped onto the podium with a calm gait. The classroom gradually quieted down.

He placed the box on the corner of the podium, then raised his hand to write "Mashima Tomoya" and a string of code on the blackboard.

"Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher for the next three years. My name is Mashima Tomoya. This is my teacher ID; you can contact me if you have any issues."

"According to school regulations, I will be with you for three years, and the homeroom teacher will not be changed halfway through, so please treat me well."

"Next, I will explain the school rules. When I call your name, please come up to receive your terminal."

Amasawa Reigetsu looked at the speaking Mashima Tomoya, then glanced at Morishita Ran on his right, noticing she had already gone up to get her terminal. He then looked toward Sakayanagi Arisu's seat, finding her looking at him with a meaningful gaze.

A perfect opportunity!

"Induction" activated!

Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to sense something; a blush climbed onto her fair cheeks, and her meaningful gaze took on a hint of pleading.

"Sakayanagi Arisu." Mashima Tomoya called out her name.

"Here!" Sakayanagi answered with great spirit.

This was clearly someone's handiwork.

Mashima Tomoya was stunned for a moment, thinking that although the chairman's daughter looked physically weak, her voice was so energetic? As expected of the chairman's daughter.

Mashima Tomoya did not want to think in a negative direction, as he did not want to see another eccentric genius in this class.

"Good, very spirited!"

Mashima Tomoya responded positively.

Sakayanagi Arisu, face flushed, glared fiercely at Amasawa Reigetsu before going up to the stage herself to collect her terminal.

"Amasawa Reigetsu!"

"Here!!"

"Good!! Very spirited!!!"

"Everyone has received their terminals, right?"

"Next, I will continue to explain the school rules."

Mashima Tomoya continued to explain the rules unhurriedly:

"In this school, besides the terminal, there is one other thing that is crucial, and that is—Points."

"Points are the only currency within the school grounds, and there are no substitutes. Each point is equivalent to one Japanese Yen."

"For purchasing supplies on campus and various services, there is almost nothing that cannot be bought with points. The distribution mechanism is fixed; they will be automatically transferred to your student ID account on the first of every month, and you can use your terminal for daily consumption."

"The school has already issued 100,000 points to every new student. You can check your terminals now. If your balance is abnormal or has not arrived as expected, report it to me now."

"The rules have been explained. The entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in one hour. Please attend on time. That is all."

"Teacher, may I ask if the school will really give us 100,000 points every month?"

A bald head popped out from the crowd!?

"Classmate Katsuragi's question is very good, but I cannot answer that question."

Mashima Tomoya was a responsible teacher; he actually answered when the bald guy asked him. Because of this, it incited many students in Class A to ask questions, and for a time, the classroom was very lively, creating an atmosphere of brainstorming and prosperity.

While answering questions, Mashima Tomoya felt moved.

"The students of Class A are indeed high-quality fruit! I can't help but want to give them a hint."

However, it was a different scene on Amasawa Reigetsu's side—because he found that the moment the homeroom teacher finished saying "That is all," he appeared in a mysterious small grove.

Morishita Ran had used her once-per-chapter Flash!

Amasawa: Isn't this too underhanded? A one-chapter cooldown is too short! Nerf! Nerf!! How can this be played without a nerf?!

Meanwhile, in Class 1-A.

Sakayanagi Arisu had just stood up, intending to find Amasawa Reigetsu, only to be forced to watch, like a helpless wife, as Morishita Ran used a teleportation skill to take Amasawa Reigetsu away.

Morishita Ran: How pitiful, Classmate Sakayanagi. Amasawa-kun was calling your name all the way until we reached the grove, you know?

Sakayanagi Arisu: (ｉДｉ)

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, small grove.

"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!!"

The afternoon sunlight was sliced into fragmented spots by the dense foliage, scattering across this secluded grove behind Advanced Nurturing High School.

Morishita Ran stood ten paces away from Amasawa Reigetsu, lowering her center of gravity slightly, her gaze locked firmly onto the black-haired boy before her.

Amasawa Reigetsu did not speak; he simply let his hands hang loosely at his sides, his pale gray eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water without a ripple. He gave a slight nod, acknowledging her.

The next second, Morishita Ran moved.

Without a hint of hesitation, she exerted force through her feet, the dry leaves crunching crisply under her weight. She shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, instantly closing the distance between them. Her right fist, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, headed straight for Amasawa's face.

Fast, and ruthless.

Yet, facing this swift strike, Amasawa Reigetsu did not even shift his feet. The moment Morishita Ran's fist was about to graze the tip of his nose, he tilted his head slightly, letting the straight punch brush past his temple and stir a few strands of his black hair.

Morishita Ran's pupils constricted, and she changed her tactic with lightning speed, turning her left fist into a palm and slicing toward Amasawa's carotid artery.

Amasawa Reigetsu raised his right hand; the movement appeared slow, yet it was terrifyingly precise. He brought two fingers together and nonchalantly clamped onto Morishita Ran's wrist.

"Too straightforward," Amasawa Reigetsu said flatly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

He gave his wrist a slight flick, and a burst of leverage traveled up Morishita Ran's arm. Morishita Ran felt half her arm go numb instantly, her body involuntarily stumbling forward a step.

But she did not panic; utilizing that momentum, she whipped her right leg out in a fierce low sweep, aiming directly for Amasawa's base.

Amasawa Reigetsu leaped lightly, evading the strike, then adjusted his posture in mid-air. Upon landing, he tapped his toes against the ground and retreated half a meter, reopening the distance between them.

"Nn-ah~ no, it hurts! It's going to bleed, nn-ahhhhh~"

Looking at Morishita Ran, who had lost consciousness in his arms and was muttering such scandalous words, Amasawa Reigetsu turned his gaze toward the bushes behind them.

"Ah, I've been discovered."
