"Alright, you can crawl out now," Kitahara Seiichi said in his mind after watching them leave.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of obtaining 20 million points before the end of the last semester.]
[Now distributing Super Physique.]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Kitahara felt a surge of joy, but before he could ask about the effects of this Super Physique, he felt a wave of heat erupting from every part of his body. His muscles began to tremble slightly, and he felt as if strength was being awakened from the depths of his cells.
His previously somewhat thin frame now felt a sense of expansion, as if infinite power was accumulating within him.
Kitahara stretched his limbs, feeling his entire body brimming with strength.
His physical coordination and agility had also climbed to a new height.
"This Super Physique is truly impressive," Kitahara whispered excitedly.
"Right, system, pull up my data. Let me see how my abilities are now." Thinking of his current body compared to the system's initial evaluation of him, Kitahara asked with a confident expression.
[Name: Kitahara Seiichi Gender: Male Charm: 8.5 (8+0.5) Intelligence: 7 (7+0) Academic Ability: 7 (7+0) Physical Ability: 9.9 (4+5.9) Social Team Contribution and Cooperation Ability: 3 (3+0)]
(Note: The average person's ability values are all 5, with 10 being the limit.)
Although the system listed so much, Kitahara looked at the physical ability column first. Upon discovering that he was finally higher than a normal person, he let out a long sigh of relief and said:
"It was truly worth the hard work of saving up points for three months."
After Kitahara finished rejoicing, he looked at the other columns and asked the system in confusion:
"Why didn't my intelligence and academic ability increase?"
[Do you think intelligence and academic ability have anything to do with physique?]
"How could they not? Listen to me explain... wait, no, listen to me talk. Intelligence is linked to the brain, right? Doesn't the brain count as part of the body?"
[The mission reward was physique, not body. Please read carefully, host.]
"Ugh, isn't that the same thing? Let me explain it to you again..."
Before Kitahara could finish, the system issued a warning:
[If you dare to question the rationality of the rewards again, this reward will be revoked.]
"Uh... actually, I think you're right. The brain really doesn't belong to physique," Kitahara said, decisively backing down after hearing the warning.
"Sigh... but system, is there something you haven't released yet?" Kitahara added, noticing the missing system evaluation column.
"System."
"System."
"...System, don't tell me you've disappeared again." Seeing the lack of response, Kitahara couldn't help but grumble.
"Forget it. Even without you saying it, I can probably guess the evaluation. After all, my only shortcoming at the beginning was my physical ability."
"Now that this gap has been filled, I should probably be considered a Trisolaran in Naraka."
"And the kind that won't get nerfed, at that."
"This feels great."
In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on Kitahara's side, the Student Council president, having received notification from the school, was looking at the contract of Kitahara Seiichi in his hands with a grave expression.
After a long while, Horikita Manabu slowly spoke: "So this is the reason you went to such lengths to earn points. I truly cannot see through you."
Standing to the side, Tachibana also wore a look of astonishment. She had not expected Kitahara's transfer to be so sudden, and like Horikita Manabu, she had assumed that if he were to transfer, it would be to the strongest, Class A.
"Is that so? So this is your choice..." Yanagihara, who had also received the news in advance, said with a hint of regret.
But she quickly returned to a smile: "Yes, after all, this is what makes it interesting."
When Kitahara returned to the classroom, he noticed the entire class looking at him with eyes full of confusion, shock, and a sense of betrayal.
Before Kitahara could even reach his seat, he saw Hirata walking toward him and asking in a low voice:
"Kitahara, have you really transferred to Class B?"
Hearing Hirata's inquiry, Kitahara was slightly surprised by the speed at which the news had spread, but he still admitted it:
"Yes, I have indeed transferred to Class B. I'm just here to pack my things."
Upon hearing Kitahara's reply, Hirata made no move, only saying:
"I hope you can have a better time in Class B and make some real friends."
Feeling the sincerity in his well-wishes, Kitahara replied, "Thank you."
"Yeah..."
Watching Hirata prepare to leave, Kitahara recalled his situation from the original story and decided to offer a reminder: "Actually, you've done a great job, but I think you could try sharing some of the burden you're carrying with others."
After saying this, Kitahara returned to his seat to start packing his things.
Hirata remained standing where he was.
Upon hearing Kitahara's advice, he fell into deep thought for a long while before shaking his head and returning to his own seat. However, unlike Kitahara, he was quickly surrounded by a crowd of people asking if Kitahara had truly transferred classes.
"Congratulations, Kitahara-boy, for being the first to escape this unsightly place," Koenji said in his usual tone, as if Kitahara's transfer came as no surprise to him at all.
"Yeah, thanks. But once your true ability is exposed in the future, I believe there will be a class willing to spend 20 million points to buy you in."
"Is that so? Regardless, I have my own methods."
"..." Seeing the confident man before him, Kitahara found it difficult to say anything more.
After all, with his status as the son of the Koenji Zaibatsu, there were plenty of ways for him to reach Class A.
The only reason he hadn't used them was likely to prove his own strength.
Once he finished packing, Kitahara looked at the two people beside him and said:
"Although our time together was short, I still have to say goodbye."
"Yeah," Ayanokoji replied in his usual mechanical tone.
However, unlike him, President Horikita looked conflicted.
Knowing her personality, Kitahara said, "You aren't wondering why I didn't transfer to Class A, but chose Class B instead, are you?"
Upon hearing his question, President Horikita flinched but nodded.
"Heh, is that so? Well... I think I'll keep that to myself."
Hearing Kitahara's response, President Horikita wore a cold expression and skillfully pulled out a compass, pointing it at Kitahara as she said:
"If you want to experience the taste of this before you leave, you are more than welcome to try."
"Is that so? What if I told you that the reason is something President Horikita wants you to discover for yourself?"
Hearing Kitahara say this, President Horikita's hand faltered, the compass freezing in mid-air as a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
She bit her lip and said, "Since it is my brother's request, I will find the answer."
Hearing President Horikita's response, Kitahara shrugged and thought to himself:
Damn, she really wanted to stab me just now.
Still, the best way to deal with the brother-obsessed President Horikita is definitely to bring up her brother. Look at this—the effect is clearly significant.
"Alright everyone, goodbye. Next time we meet, we might be enemies." With that, he picked up his luggage and left the classroom.
