"Damn, I only just reached Asura."

As it turned out, the sheer excitement caused him to pass out for a moment.

"Hm? Wait, why do I feel like I'm on a bus?"

Suddenly, a massive surge of memories flooded into his mind, overwhelming his brain before he could even react, causing him to lose consciousness once again.

By the time he woke up, he had finished absorbing the memories of his predecessor.

The original owner of the body was named Kitahara Seiichi, an orphan who had apparently exhausted himself working part-time jobs before the start of the school year, falling asleep on the bus heading to school today.

"Ugh, he just transmigrated like that."

"But it seems the original body managed to get into a tuition-free high school!"

Wait, only after recalling the details did he realize with a start: wasn't this Classroom of the Elite?

When he opened his eyes, he began to scan his surroundings, finally confirming that he had truly arrived in the world of Classroom of the Elite.

There was no doubt about it, for he spotted the blonde-haired youth sitting in the back row—the one the audience jokingly referred to as "Beautiful Brother."

"If that's the case, where is the protagonist?" After all, he was the head of the "Four School Tyrants."

As he turned his head, he saw that perpetually indifferent face.

Damn, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is sitting right next to me. I didn't even notice him when I was looking around earlier.

"Hello, my name is Kitahara Seiichi, a first-year student."

"Uh, I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, also a first-year student."

After they finished introducing themselves, the atmosphere returned to how it had been before.

Meanwhile, he was struggling to organize the memories from before his transmigration, as that was the only way he would have the confidence to survive in this school.

Suddenly, he realized that since he had transmigrated, did he not have the standard transmigrator's cheat—a system?

He began to call out in his mind repeatedly.

"System, System."

"Are you there? Answer me if you can hear me!"

"System, please, come out."

Although he knew the direction of the story, he couldn't be sure it wouldn't change due to his arrival. Even if it didn't, his current physical condition wouldn't be enough to withstand the enemies he might face in the future.

As he kept calling for the system in his mind, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Excuse me, could you give up your seat?"

"This is a priority seat, and I think it should be given to the elderly woman."

"Oh my, what a beautiful young lady."

"While this is a priority seat, there is no legal obligation to give it up."

"Just because I am young, must I do something that is both thankless and meaningless?"

"But I believe this could be a contribution to society."

"Besides..."

Watching silently from the side, I realized I was witnessing one of the iconic scenes on this bus.

After Kushida Kikyo finished her conversation with Koenji, she spoke to the people around her once more.

"Could someone please offer their seat to this elderly woman?"

Kitahara looked toward the person beside him, only to find him watching a girl on the other side.

Heh, another iconic scene is about to be born.

Just as he prepared to stand up, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding...]

[Your system has arrived]

[Loading interface...]

[Ding, loading complete]

Name: Kitahara Seiichi Gender: Male Charm: 8 Intelligence: 7 Academic Ability: 7 Physical Ability: 4 Social Contribution and Cooperation: 3

(Note: The average ability for a normal person is 5)

[System Evaluation: Tsk, what a fragile high school student.]

[6, I can understand the intelligence and academic ability, after all, the predecessor was able to get into this top-tier high school, so his IQ and learning capacity are decent, but what is the meaning of this physical ability!]

[Could it be that I am really this pathetic?]

[Please note, Host, current academic ability and intelligence depend on your state before transmigrating, while physical ability depends on the current body.]

[...]

[Ahem, hey System, is there a newbie gift pack to help me recover some blood?]

[Yes, Host, there is.]

When he clicked on the newbie gift pack, he only heard:

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Chess Mastery."

Ah, what do I need this for? It's not like I'm going to play chess against Sakayanagi. What I want is something that can improve my physical ability.

"What? System, are there any other ways to obtain rewards?"

[Ding, simply complete the tasks assigned by this system.]

"Can I decide the rewards myself?"

[...Get lost.]

"Tch, fine if you don't agree, no need to lose your temper like that."

"Right, System. Are there any system tasks for me now? It's nothing, I just want to keep enriching myself."

[...]

[Task 1: Obtain 20 million private points before the end of the first semester. Task Reward: Superhuman Physique.

Task 2: Gain the attention of 10 people within the first week of school. Task Reward: Chinese Culinary Mastery.

Task 3: Find teammates within the school and successfully reach Naraka by the end of the first semester. Task Reward: Photographic Memory.]

"Uh, Big Brother System, the gap between these tasks is way too huge, and the rewards feel a bit abnormal too, don't you think?"

"And tell me, is it really possible to fight Naraka inside the school?"

[That requires you to complete it yourself.]

"If I don't complete them, is there a system penalty?"

[Ding, these are long-term tasks. This system will randomly issue corresponding tasks during special scenarios.]

[Note: System penalties are waiting for the Host to activate.]

Uh, his mother tongue is speechless.

After he regained his senses, he realized the bus was about to reach the stop.

Once he got off the bus and stood in front of this school, he couldn't help but feel incredibly shocked. When watching the anime, he thought it was just okay, but when he was truly on the scene, he had underestimated the grandeur of its architecture.

As he prepared to step into the campus to find his assigned class, he discovered Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka at the school gate.

Looks like this must be the iconic scene where Horikita questions Ayanokoji!

I didn't expect to actually run into it.

Forget it, it's none of my business. I'd better find my class first and continue thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

When he walked to the class assignment notice, he discovered that the name Kitahara Seiichi appeared on the list for Class D.

[So I was actually assigned to Class D? But the atmosphere in Class D isn't very good, is it? Hmm, looks like I'll have to work hard to save up points this semester.]

[However, if I want to transfer classes, I should aim for Class B.]

[I can't beat Ryuen from Class C, and the competition in Class A is too intense.]

[So only in Class B can I rest easy and complete the tasks issued by the system.]

After gathering his thoughts, he headed toward the location of Class D. Once he walked into the Class D classroom, he began to look for his seat.

"Hmm? I didn't expect that I would actually be sitting next to Ayanokoji, and on his other side is Horikita Suzune."
