[Name: Kitahara Seiichi Student ID: S01T004723 Class: 1-D Points: 10,086,325] It seems the school has already transferred the points. I thought they wouldn't arrive until next month, but heh, this works out well. Now I can go buy a computer. [Ding...] [Received attention from Ichinose Honami] "Uh? What's going on? I haven't done anything, have I? How did I catch her attention? It wouldn't be Hoshinomiya's idea again, would it?" "Forget it, no point overthinking it. I only need attention from four more people to unlock Culinary Mastery. Besides, I'm not really a fan of the food here at the school." Time to get moving. Once he arrived at the store, he began to pace around. He was determined to get a top-tier computer. After consulting with the clerk, he made up his mind and purchased a machine that cost a staggering 200,000 points. Just as he was preparing to head home with the computer in his arms, he spotted a girl not far away. She had fair skin, a cute face, thin legs wrapped in white suspender stockings, and a black beret perched on her head. "Damn it, why is Classmate Sakayanagi here? Seriously? I have to get out of here immediately. After all, I just extorted 10 million points from her father." Just as he prepared to turn away, their eyes met. At that moment, Sakayanagi revealed a smile as if she had discovered an interesting toy. With no other choice, he gave a slight nod in acknowledgement. To his surprise, Sakayanagi leaned on her cane and began to approach Kitahara step by step. "Good day, Kitahara-kun. I am Sakayanagi Arisu from Class 1-A." *Ah, how does she know my name? First Ichinose, now Sakayanagi—why does everyone know who I am? This is too strange.* "Uh, I'm Kitahara Seiichi from Class 1-D. Nice to meet you." "Were you just wondering how I knew your name, Kitahara-kun?" *Damn, she saw right through me.* Kitahara gave a slight nod. "It's nothing, really. I just happened to notice you when you left the school office this morning." *Uh, why didn't he notice her presence earlier? Oh, I see. It must be because her stature is so small that he missed her. In that case, Sakayanagi really is a textbook loli.* *Heh, she's perfect in every way, except for that flat...* "Ahem, are you thinking of something rude, Kitahara-kun?" "No, not at all..." "Hehe, it seems Kitahara-kun has come into some fortune, hasn't he? To be able to purchase..." Sakayanagi said, fixing her gaze on the computer in Kitahara's arms. "Ah, what are you talking about, Classmate Sakayanagi? I have no idea what you mean." *That's right, I have to play dumb. Dealing with the sharp-witted Sakayanagi, the more I say, the more I'll expose myself.* Seeing Kitahara Seiichi playing dumb, Sakayanagi maintained a faint smile and said: "If you don't want to answer, Kitahara-kun, then so be it. I'll find the answer eventually anyway." "In that case, I'll take my leave now?" "Oh? Are you planning to abandon a frail girl like me, Kitahara-kun?" *Damn, if you count as a 'frail girl,' then every girl in this school must be a saint.* Despite his thoughts, Kitahara held the computer with one arm and reached out with the other to steady Classmate Sakayanagi. "So, Classmate Sakayanagi, where are you headed?" "It seems Kitahara-kun really is a gentle person. Let's go, back to the dorms. Besides, you should be getting back to set up your computer." I nodded in response. "Yeah, let's go." *Who said Sakayanagi was a trashy loli? Isn't she actually quite considerate!* "What is your opinion of this school, Kitahara-kun?" "It's fine, though I dislike not being able to contact the outside world. Other than that, it's better than the outside." Seeing that Kitahara Seiichi was still playing dumb, Sakayanagi spoke directly. "I find this school far too boring. There is nothing here that interests me." "Hehe..." Once they reached the bottom of the dormitory building, Kitahara asked: "Sakayanagi, where is your room?" "Tsk, Kitahara-kun, I didn't expect you to be that kind of person, curious about where a girl's room is." Even though I knew Sakayanagi was just teasing me, I still felt quite helpless. *(Is this the power of Sakayanagi's offensive?)* "Uh, I just wanted to see you to your door. Since you've put it that way, I won't walk you any further." "Oh my, aren't you curious about what the girls' dormitory looks like, Kitahara-kun?" "Not curious, not curious at all." Kitahara shook his head. *If I say I'm curious, I'll probably have to face a night of 'friendly' conversation with Chairman Sakayanagi.* "In that case, I'll see you next time. It was brief, but quite interesting." Facing Sakayanagi's faint smile, Kitahara hurriedly replied: "See you next time, see you next time." It was only after Kitahara Seiichi returned to his dormitory that he let out a soft sigh of relief. *To be honest, whenever I face Sakayanagi, I always feel an inexplicable pressure in the air. I really don't want to see her again.* *What is going on? So many unexpected things happened today. Sigh, I wonder if I can make it through high school smoothly.* *No need to be too afraid, though. I still have the system as my trump card.* *But for the sake of safety, I still need to let Ayanokoji draw the attention.* *Heh heh, since I've transmigrated, I can't let him stay peaceful anymore.* ... On the other side, after Sakayanagi returned to her room, she took out her phone and opened the page:

Name: Sakayanagi Arisu Class: 1-A Student ID: S01T004737 Points: 824,563 ```

I didn't expect Kitahara-kun from Class 1-D to be so interesting. I wonder if he is a true genius.

"However, to be able to obtain 10 million points from my father on the first day of school, it seems he must have discovered the school's rules in advance and made a deal with the administration."

"Though, after paying my father 100,000 points, this is all the information I could get."

(That's right, at the time, Chairman Sakayanagi had only called Arisu over because he was worried about his child's health; he hadn't expected this situation to arise.)

"Heh, but according to the student files I've looked through, he has also come to this school."

"I will bury him completely in this school."

A pink-haired girl, who was thinking about the same boy as Sakayanagi, was also making different arrangements based on her own analysis.
