Volume 1 Chapter 12 (1/2)
I don't like the entrance ceremony A lot of first years think the same way
The principal and the students are all thanking each other annoyingly, there's way too , and it's a pain in the butt because there are too s
But that's not all I want to say
The entrance cereh school marks the start of one major trial for students
For the first few days after the entrance ceremony, students must make friends in order to enjoy the rest of their school life
If someone fails at this task, it is said that a miserable three years awaits them
Followingtrouble, I think it would be best to make some friends and establish decent human relationshi+ps
The day before, I tried to practicefriends because I was inexperienced
First scenario was bursting into the classroo excitedly
Second scenario was secretly passing a note withfriends afterwards
In my case, I had to practice because this is a completely different environment than I had been used for my whole life I around all by myself
Overlooking the classroom, I walked over to the seat with my nameplate on it
A seat towards the back of the rooet
The classroom was only about half full
Students were either looking at their classto acquaintances and friends
Nohat should I do? Should I get to know people during this free ti a few seats in front of ination)
He gave off an aura of that screaain, ination)
However… if you suddenly walked up to someone and talked to them they would probably feel bothered
Do you wait for the right time then? No, by then, he would probably be surrounded by eneh chance I'll become friendless
As I expected, I should talk…
Wait, wait, don't be hasty
If I carelessly juht be beaten by someone else
This is useless, a negative spiral…
In the end, I couldn't talk to anybody, and with the way things were going, I would soon be left all alone
Is he still alone? Do I hear laughter? I s
I wonder what friends are Where on earth do friends come from? Do people become friends after they eat with each other? Or do you becoether?
The more I think about it, thedeep? I should think about it more
Trying toIn the first place, should I be trying to make friends like this? Furthermore, don't friendshi+ps form naturally over time? My mind is in complete disarray like a chaotic summer festival
While my mind is still hazy and confused, the classroom quickly fills up as other students enter the classroom
Oh well, I have no choice but to try
After a long internal struggle, I started to get up from my seat However…
As I got up, I noticed that the chubby boy wearing glasses was talking to another classmate
With a bitter smile, I realized that there was no friendshi+p to be made here
Good for you, glasses-kun…
You made your first friend───
”You, from before…!”
Feeling perplexed, I was doing so
Involuntary, I let out a deep sigh froh school life seems very bleak
I noticed that the classroo down their bag on the seat next to me
”That's a heavy sigh, even though the school se after ain”
The person who sat next tooff the bus
”… So ere in the same class, huh” After all, there are only 4 first-year classes It's not like it's probabilistically impossible that ere put in the same class
”I am Ayanokouji Kiyotaka Nice to meet you”
”A sudden self-introduction?”
”Even if you call it sudden, it's our second ti to each other Isn't an introduction fine?”
Anyway, I previously had no way to introduce h, in order to becohbor's name at least
”Do you ?”
”I think it would be aard if we didn't know each other's nah we sit next to each other”
”I think it would be perfectly fine”
After glancing aton the desk It seems like she won't even tell me her name
The girl showed no interest in the rest of the classroom, and sat down in her seat like a model
”Is your friend in another class? Or are you coh school alone?”
”You're a curious one, aren't you You shouldn't talk toanyway”
”If I' a bother to you, just tell me to shut up”
I thought that the conversation was over, but after a sudden change of heart, she sighed and looked at me
”My name is Horikita Suzune”
I didn't expect to receive an answer, but she… no, Horikita, introduced herself
For the first time I saw her face
… Wow, she's cute
I mean, she's a beauty
Even though she was in the sarade, she could probably pass as a second or third year student
She looked like a mature woman
”Letyou a bit about myself I have no particular hobbies, but I have an interest in everything I don't have too ood to have some friendsWell, that's the kind of person I am”
”Sounds like a reply from someone who avoids troublesome situations I don't think I'll ever like someone who thinks like that”
”It feels like le second…”
”I pray that no more misfortune befalls me”
”I sympathize with you, but I don't think that'll come true”
I pointed at the door to the classroo there was───
”The equipment in this classroom seems to be in order! The classroom looks just like what the rumors say!”
It was the boy who argued with the girl in the bus
”…… I see Certainly is bad luck”
It seems like not only us, but that problem child is also in the D class
Without noticing us at all, he sat down at the seat marked ”Koenji”I wonder if he knohat the ter him for a bit
Koenji then propped his legs onto the desk, took out a pair of nail clippers, and started doing ernails He acted as if he was the only one there and ignored all of his surroundings
His rehts
In less than ten seconds, more than half the class backed away from Koenji Even here, his self-important attitude penetrated the classroom
Looking next todown at her desk, reading one of her own books
Oops, I forgot that talking back and forth was one of the basics of holding a conversation
One of my chances to become friends with Horikita was crushed
Peeking at the title of the book, I saw that she was reading ”Crime and Punishment”
That's interesting Whether there is any reason to kill a person or not, it advocates killing Maybe Horikita's hobbies are similar to the ones in the book (T/N scary…)
Anyway, since self-introductions were finished, it see very often
After a few
Al a suit walked into the classroom
On first impression, she seems like a teacher who finds strict classroo hair was tied back into a ponytail
”Ahe new students My nae of class D this year I teach japanese history This school doesn't rearrange the classes every year, so over the next three years, I hope I get to know all of you Best regards Although the entrance cereym, I will now distribute the list of special rules of this school and the uide”
From the front, the handouts were passed around
At this school, there are special rules that h school All students are required to live on ca anyone outside the school
Even contacting immediate family is impossible without the permission of the school
Leaving school grounds is also forbidden
However, there are alsorestricted There are karaokes, theater rooms, cafes, and even boutiques—you can say itcity, the huge campus took up more than 600,000 square meters
There's one h The introduction of the S system
”I will now hand out student ID cards With this card, you can buy anything from any of the shops and facilities around campus It works like a credit card However, be careful of howyou can't buy at school If there's sorounds, it's purchasable”
This point system associated with the student card essentially replaced money
This way, every student would start off with the same amount of money and would be forced to check their consumption habits In any case, all of the points are provided at no charge from the school
”Student cards can be used by swiping the the machines are really easy, so you won't have any trouble with them The points will be automatically credited on the first day of the month Everyone should already have 100,000 points on their card Also, 1 point is worth 1 yen Any more explanation is unnecessary”
For a ot loud
In other words, for being adot a 100,000 yen monthly allowance from the school As expected froovernment
100,000 yen is a considerable aiven to students as a monthly allowance
”Were you guys surprised by the aiven? This school measures the abilities of students Everyone here, who passed the entrance exam, has shown some level of merit and worth The amount ofback After graduation, however, all the points will be taken back Since it's ie these points into cash, there's no point in saving up the points How the points are used are up to you Use it on things you like or need If you feel that no use for some of your points, you can always transfer the other people for points is prohibited The school is very strict on ”
Chiyabashi+ra-sensei looked around the room
”It seeood student life”
A lot of the classmates can't hide their surprise at the size of the allowance
”It isn't as strict of a school as I thought it would be”
I thought I was talking to ht that I was talking to her
”It certainly seems like a lax school”
Although they force us to live in dor off ca anyone on the outside, they give us a lot of points for free usable anywhere on campus
It could be said that the students are put in paradise with preferential treatment
And the biggest h School is their 100 employment rate
Under the thorough guidance of the government, the school works towards a better future with all of its resources In fact, many of this widely publicized school's aluood a school is, its area of specialization is narrow A school ht specialize in sports, or specialize in musicOr maybe it specializes in computer related topics But this school fulfills any wish in any genre that someone may wish to study This is a school that has that kind of system and value
That's why I thought the class atmosphere would be more competitive and bloodthirsty, but the majority of my classmates seemed like ordinary students you could find anywhere else
No, nized as students who passed the entrance exaraduate peacefully and without incident…? I wonder if it's even possible
”This much preferential treatment is a bit scary”
After listening to Horikita say that, I also felt the same way
I think it would be better to stay ignorant of the details about this school
Because they are able to fulfill any wish, I think there would be some risks associated with the school
”Ne ne~, don't you want to go see those shops? Let's go shopping!”
”Un With this ot into this school~”
After the teacher left the rooe amount of money were restless
