Background / History

Kengo retains fragmented memories from a past life after reincarnation. He attributes their incomplete state to having drunk watered-down Meng Po soup; nevertheless, those memories give him an affinity for the Dragon Kingdom and lead him to greet Wang Meiyu in Chinese. 1

A system was bound to him during reincarnation, but its unusually low presence caused him to forget about it until he recalls it after enrollment at Advanced Nurturing High School. 5

Personality

Kengo is confident, observant, and highly self-assured. He approaches the school as a puzzle to be solved, investigating its economy, surveillance system, class rankings, and expulsion rules instead of accepting its stated policies at face value. 1 2

He is willing to disregard authority when pursuing information, openly skipping class and entering Classes A through C to publicize his deductions. 2 3 His humor is often provocative: he teases teachers, bargains for information, and treats social exchanges as transactions. 2 4

Despite his aloofness, Kengo can be considerate when he believes he has wronged someone. After accidentally striking Hiyori Yuina in the library, he sincerely apologizes and offers to buy her dinner. 5

Abilities & Skills

Analytical Deduction

Kengo rapidly connects scattered observations into workable explanations for the school's systems.

• Identified free necessities in the shopping district as evidence that monthly point distributions were not fixed. 2
• Inferred that class ranking scores determine personal-point distribution at an approximate 1:100 ratio. 2 3
• Connected surveillance cameras with deductions to class points and recognized discipline as the first entrance assessment. 2 3
• Determined that class placement is based on six standards: academic ability, physical ability, judgment, social skills, social contribution, and past experience. 4

Story Role / Major Arcs

Entrance and Investigation

Kengo enters Class 1-D already suspicious of the school's unusually generous point distribution and its declining upper-year student population. He investigates the shopping district, classrooms, ranking boards, and surveillance cameras to uncover the collective evaluation system. 1 2

Disclosure of the Entrance Assessment

After deducing that class scores govern personal points and that surveillance records violations, Kengo disrupts Classes A, B, and C to announce his findings. His actions trigger panic and division in Class D, particularly over whether students should pool points to buy information from Chabashira. 3

Chairman's Reward

The school administration summons Kengo after his disclosure spreads through the first year. Chairman Sakayanagi confirms his unusual insight, explains the school’s competitive educational philosophy, and awards him one million points while allowing him to continue acting freely. 4

System Experimentation

With the assessment's core exposed and a substantial point reserve available, Kengo remembers the system bound to him at reincarnation. He tests its traits through intensive library study, discovering extraordinary comprehension, endurance, and extrapolative learning ability. 5
