A Big Baby with a Broad Mind

In early April, the new school year began for students in Sakurajima.

On the bus.

"Excuse me, student, this is a priority seat. Could you please give it up?"

"Pretty girl? There is no law that mandates I must yield my seat."

Makoto Nishikado had just opened his eyes from a nap to see Kushida Kikyo and Koenji Rokusuke arguing.

Seeing this familiar yet distant scene, Makoto Nishikado was filled with a myriad of emotions.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen years had already passed.

However, he had no intention of involving himself in the original plot.

Relying on a bit of talent and the skills from his two lifetimes, Makoto Nishikado had been considered a genius as a child.

He hadn't become mediocre after growing up, but he still lacked the ability to compete with the masterpiece.

In his past life, people on the internet called him Brother Lu, but in real life, if you actually encountered a guy that capable and ruthless, it was better to keep your distance.

Regarding Advanced Nurturing, Makoto Nishikado cared more about something else:

There were many beautiful girls in Classroom of the Elite.

Honestly, the Infinite Orbit was truly god-tier!

Kinugasa Shogo didn't know the first thing about Classroom of the Elite; making Horikita Suzune smaller and smaller was his own demand.

Makoto Nishikado looked at Horikita Suzune beside him.

He also wanted to have a rose-colored youth.

Horikita Suzune quickly noticed his gaze and returned it with a cold look.

Makoto Nishikado smiled slightly at her and quickly withdrew his gaze.

This woman was a bit hard to pursue, and she wanted him to retreat in the face of difficulty.

Makoto Nishikado had no intention of being a nuisance, so he really did retreat.

[Triggered Horikita Suzune's emotions, gained 28 emotional points.]

[Triggered Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's emotions, gained 2 emotional points.]

Hearing the sound, Makoto Nishikado's body trembled.

Eighteen years later, his golden finger had finally arrived?

Judging by the system prompts, he could gain emotional points by triggering emotional fluctuations in characters from the original work.

And emotional points could help him purchase items in the store; the higher the value, the more emotional points required.

Makoto Nishikado immediately stood up and gave up his seat: "Grandma, please sit here."

"Then thank you very much, young man."

Before the old woman sat down, Makoto Nishikado heard a series of system prompts.

[Triggered Horikita Suzune's emotions, gained 51 emotional points.]

[Triggered Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's emotions, gained 1 emotional point.]

[Triggered Koenji Rokusuke's emotions, gained 66 emotional points.]

"Student, thank you so much for your kindness."

Kushida Kikyo stepped forward to greet him, leaning over slightly to express her gratitude.

"You aren't that grandma's granddaughter, are you? There's no reason for you to thank me."

Makoto Nishikado had no time to pay attention to Kushida Kikyo; he was trying to explore the system interface.

And his "coldness" was keenly captured by Kushida Kikyo.

[Triggered Kushida Kikyo's emotions, gained 1012 emotional points.]

"You can't say that. I was actually a bit embarrassed just now, and you helped me out of a tight spot. Thank you so much."

Kushida Kikyo's smile remained as usual.

On the surface, one really couldn't tell that her internal emotional fluctuations were so intense.

Makoto Nishikado had just found the system store, and upon hearing the system prompt, he refocused his attention on her.

[Name: Kushida Kikyo]

[Available skills are as follows:]

[Two-Faced: Price 1.42 million points. Kushida Kikyo has two faces; one is the face of benevolence, and the other is not the face of righteousness.]

[Affinity (Fake): Price 170,000 points. A little angel who can unite everyone, but it accumulates a great deal of psychological pressure.]

[...]

All the abilities Kushida Kikyo possessed in her life had become skills that could be redeemed.

Even the cheapest skill requires 1,000 points; it seems any ability worth less than that isn't qualified to be a skill.

Unfortunately, Makoto Nishikado has no interest in any of Kushida Kikyo's skills.

Her abilities in every aspect are slightly inferior to his own, making most of those skills useless to him.

Makoto Nishikado looks toward Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

[Insufficient emotional value triggered from this character; unable to acquire skill.]

Makoto Nishikado then looks at some background characters irrelevant to the plot, but receives no prompts at all.

By now, Makoto Nishikado has basically figured out the purpose of the system.

What he needs to do is trigger emotional fluctuations in the original characters to earn more points and exchange them for more skills.

Over the course of three years, his personal abilities will surely surpass the "Masterpiece"!

With that, Makoto Nishikado leans into Kushida Kikyo's ear and whispers in a voice only the two of them can hear: "Stop with the fake smile. Don't you find it disgusting?"

Oh ho ho ho ho!

There's even a ten-fold critical hit!

Makoto Nishikado's gaze shifts.

Kushida Kikyo really is a broad-minded treasure!

"Classmate, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Kushida Kikyo maintains her smile, trying her best to pretend nothing happened.

"It's nothing. I said you're beautiful and kind-hearted, and I hope to be friends with you. My name is Makoto Nishikado."

Makoto Nishikado responds with a smile.

At this moment, he has no eyes for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka or Horikita Suzune; there is only the lovely beauty Kushida Kikyo!

"Hello, Ximen-kun. My name is Kushida Kikyo."

The beautiful Kushida Kikyo is not in a good mood.

This bastard said she's beautiful and kind-hearted?

Nonsense!

Kushida Kikyo almost curses out loud.

She hasn't gone deaf, so how could she have failed to hear what Makoto Nishikado just said?

Thinking about how she can't flip out in front of so many people, Kushida Kikyo feels a tightness in her chest from anger.

What she is unwilling to admit is that she feels more fear than anything else.

Back in middle school, Kushida Kikyo caused her entire class to fall apart, to the point where no one wanted to attend school.

After arriving at high school, Kushida Kikyo intended to start over.

Could it be that this person was a student at her old school and heard about her past?

No.

Kushida Kikyo is certain she didn't know Makoto Nishikado before.

Then what could it be?

For a moment, Kushida Kikyo's mind races, yet the smile on her face remains perfectly natural.

"Yes, I also hope to become friends with Ximen-kun. Are you also a student in Class D?"

[Triggered Kushida Kikyo's emotions, obtained 1,125 emotional points.]

"Unfortunately, I'm a student in Class B. Once the school issues our devices, how about we exchange contact information?"

Makoto Nishikado smiles brightly, his handsome face showing a hint of regret.

At this very moment, he truly regrets it.

If he had known he would get a system like this, he should have acted up during the interview to get kicked into the worst (?) Class D.

In the original anime, the class with the most screen time is undoubtedly Class D.

It even includes generous emotional point providers like Kushida Kikyo.

Conservatively estimating, because he was placed in the wrong class, Makoto Nishikado has lost out on a fortune!

Right now, his hands are trembling.

Right now, his heart aches!

"It's a deal, then. From now on, Ximen-kun is my friend."

Kushida Kikyo also smiles radiantly.

From here on out, she will truly strive to become Makoto Nishikado's intimate friend and make him tell her all his secrets.

Then, she will expose every one of those secrets and drive Makoto Nishikado to the very bottom of the school hierarchy.

She would drain every drop of blood from Makoto Nishikado, then toss him away like a rag.

Furthermore, it would be best if he remained ignorant of what she had done in middle school.

Otherwise, the only ending left for Makoto Nishikado would be expulsion from Advanced Nurturing!

[Triggered Kushida Kikyo's emotions, obtained 2275 emotion points.]

"Kushida-san, from now on, we're friends."

Makoto Nishikado smiled even more radiantly than Kushida Kikyo.

He had never seen a girl as generous and magnanimous as Kushida Kikyo.

He loved it!

If he could, Makoto Nishikado truly wished to be friends with Kushida Kikyo for a lifetime.

"Since we're friends, you can just call me Kikyo from now on. May I call you Cheng?"

"Of course."

Amidst their pleasant conversation, the bus arrived at their destination.
