'As a high school, the amount of surveillance cameras seems to be a bit too many.' At this very moment, a boy was standing in front of a school gate, thinking so in his heart.
His appearance could be considered rather delicate, a pair of green glasses resting on the bridge of his nose, pink hair with a pair of hair ornaments that looked like lollipops.
Saiki Kusuo, is a psychic, possessing all sorts of abilities, and furthermore continuously evolving. To avoid bringing unnecessary trouble, he had always been hiding his identity, pretending to be an utterly inconspicuous ordinary person.
Today was the day of his first day entering high school.
His gaze moved slightly, falling onto the extremely eye-catching signboard at the school gate.
[Advanced Nurturing High School]
Originally, he only wanted to casually enter any ordinary high school, live an ordinary life, and as much as possible avoid the attention of others.
The result was completely unexpected that his older brother Saiki Kusuke actually, with the reason of "no need to pay tuition, even don't have to worry about living expenses," persuaded their parents, and furthermore used connections and resources, sending him to this high school.
Towards that older brother of his possessing extremely high IQ but twisted personality, Saiki had no good feelings. He was very clear that Saiki Kusuke entrusting their parents to send him to this special school certainly was not any good thing.
During the entrance exam before enrollment, Saiki had even prepared to deliberately fail the exam to let the school reject him, but after using telepathy to learn from the invigilating teacher's mind that this school possessed the most luxurious cafeteria in the entire country, he ultimately still chose to control his grades to a relatively mediocre level, successfully enrolling.
Although today was the first day of entering school, in reality Saiki had long already used his psychic powers to observe this school's environment, being extremely clear that this school was extraordinary.
Opening ceremony, class assignments, classmates' self-introductions…for Saiki, these things were rather troublesome, especially this segment of self-introduction.
Saiki did not care who his classmates were. For him, this school was originally just a transitional station to disguise himself as an ordinary person living a peaceful life. There was no need to establish too much connection with the people around. However, to allow himself to be able to hide his identity, and in this school as much as possible appear inconspicuous, Saiki could not refuse these segments.
Moreover, using telepathy, Saiki had already before the self-introductions obtained a certain understanding of his classmates.
Saiki could easily hear their inner voices, even if because of the existence of limiters he could not display his true power. He still could hear almost all creatures' inner voices within a radius of two hundred meters. This superpower was always in an active state, also counted as one of the troubles of being a psychic.
[These people are all just burdens only. I must rely on my own efforts alone to catch up to my older brother's steps.]
[I want to make friends with everyone!]
[Must find a suitable target, only then can I properly protect myself.]
Just by listening to these people's inner voices, Saiki already knew, in this class, normal people seemed to be few and far between.
Some people wanted to surpass their older brothers, some people in the new environment wanted to stand out, and some people seemed to have thoughts similar to Saiki, wanting to as much as possible hide themselves within the school.
Saiki did not care about these, nor did he want to have too much contact with these people. He only thought about himself being able to pass a relatively peaceful high school life, as much as possible not appearing too conspicuous.
It was just that these people's psychological activities were simply too noisy.
After going through these tedious but necessary procedures, Saiki and the others finally ushered in the first class at this school.
———
"I am the homeroom teacher of Class D, Chabashira Sae."
"This school will not change classes. For the three years before graduation, I will serve as your homeroom teacher."
On the classroom podium, a young woman calling herself Chabashira Sae slowly spoke.
Her upper body wore a black shirt, unable to conceal in the least her proud curves, below her black short skirt were slender legs wrapped in black stockings.
Chabashira Sae possessed quite exquisite looks, but in her gaze carried a kind of sharpness that originally should not appear in the teaching profession, while her voice seemed to carry a trace of coldness and negativity.
"First I will distribute this school's materials, pass them from front to back. This school has a special rule, during the period in school, all going out and any external contact are restricted."
With Chabashira Sae's words spoken, basically all the students below the podium revealed shocked expressions on their faces.
At this moment, in Saiki's ears, resounded the voices of the surrounding classmates.
[Can't leave the school?]
[I didn't bring any change of clothes!]
[What kind of rule is this, it's too inhumane!]
These classmates all did not make any sound, after all, right now Chabashira Sae as homeroom teacher was standing on the podium, but Saiki could clearly hear their inner voices.
'Can't go home?'
Hearing Chabashira Sae's words, Saiki's face showed no change of expression. Possessing teleportation ability, he was not restricted at all.
Even if the school was very far from his home, he could instantly teleport back. So no matter what absurd school regulations this Advanced Nurturing High School still had, for Saiki they had no impact.
Moreover, for Saiki, this school could be considered quite a good place.
"…But everyone need not worry. Inside the school are all sorts of facilities. You can buy all daily necessities, of course also including entertainment items." Chabashira Sae continued speaking.
Hearing these words, Saiki's mouth slightly curled up. This precisely was the purpose he had come early to the school to investigate.
Using psychokinesis and teleportation to come early to the school, then using invisibility to avoid surveillance, he carefully observed the entire school's structure.
Cinema, karaoke, library…this school's entertainment facilities could be said to have everything, completely different from an ordinary high school, almost like a miniature city.
Although Saiki's hobbies were not considered many, watching TV and reading novels alone could barely count among them, especially mystery-type film and novels.
Too powerful psychic powers caused Saiki in daily life to simply never encounter any "unexpected" situations, which made his life somewhat boring. But telepathy had no effect on fictional worlds, unable to predict a story's development. This was also the reason he liked reading mystery novels.
In this school possessing extremely exaggerated resources, it could be said to cover all kinds of books and movies from the whole world, even private theaters. This was what Saiki was rather satisfied with.
And most, most, most crucially, this school had an extremely amazing cafeteria, all sorts of delicious food were all available, especially the variety of desserts, even more dazzling.
For Saiki, in this world there was nothing more important than desserts.
This precisely was the reason Saiki was willing to report to this strange school.
As long as it did not exceed common sense, in this school students could purchase anything.
"…In addition, in this school, everything can be bought using points. Every month on the first day, points are automatically deposited. One point equals one yen. This month's 100,000 points have already been deposited to your accounts."
While speaking, Chabashira Sae picked up a device similar to a mobile phone. This was the terminal all members in school used.
'One hundred thousand yen per month huh.' Saiki lowered his head, looking at the screen of his terminal, which clearly displayed 100,000 points.
One hundred thousand per month, this was far more than the allowance given by his family.
Although Saiki possessed psychic powers, he never abused them to seek profit for himself, normally only using his family's allowance to buy a bit of sweets.
One hundred thousand yen, that basically meant he could achieve dessert freedom every month.
"One hundred thousand?!"
"Is it true?!"
"Wow!"
Seeing the huge number appearing on their accounts, almost all the students in the classroom exclaimed, some people's faces already showing impatient smiles.
But Saiki still appeared rather calm, using telepathy, he had long already learned from Chabashira Sae's mind the true rules of this school.
These points were connected to the "value" of the students themselves. Basically, the students' performance in school was directly proportional to the points they could obtain.
In this campus, there were a great number of surveillance cameras. They would monitor students' every action at all times, then score the students, and divide the classes into A, B, C, and D four levels. The higher the class rank, the more points could be obtained.
And right now, Saiki was in the class estimated to be the worst, Class D.
[As expected, almost all are faces of surprise, as expected, merely a rabble composed of defective products.]
[These guys, surely soon will squander all the points.]
[To rise to Class A, probably hard to achieve.]
At this moment, Saiki had already read Chabashira Sae's thoughts.
'Yare yare, I see, so the whole class is bound together for scoring huh. Although I don't want to interfere in too many things, but I can't let the points I should have gotten also be completely deducted together. Otherwise, there will be no money to buy coffee jelly.' And at this moment, Saiki was thinking so in his heart.
With Saiki's psychic powers, he could, without any contact or indirect contact with the target machine, remotely control and adjust electronic devices.
Directly modifying his own points to infinity was also possible. However, doing so would surely cause the school's suspicion, and later might bring considerable trouble. Therefore, for now he would not do so.
"This school uses strength to measure students. Being able to enter this school shows that you also have corresponding value."
"That is basically the situation. Today is the first day, you all just familiarize yourselves with the school."
After giving a few simple instructions, Chabashira Sae left the classroom.
Walking in the corridor, Chabashira Sae immediately picked up her own terminal. On the screen was projected the profile data of the students of her class.
Before these students entered school, the school side would conduct assessment interviews to find out their abilities and potential in different aspects.
What made Chabashira Sae slightly concerned were two students in the class. The two of them were all personally selected to enroll by Chairman Sakayanagi rather than assigned to Class D, but their entrance assessment results were very ordinary.
And among them, one was precisely Saiki.
[Saiki Kusuo]
[Academics: C]
[Intelligence: C-]
[Judgment: C-]
[Athletic Ability: C-]
[Teamwork Ability: C]
"Saiki, doesn't seem to have anything special, truly too ordinary." Chabashira Sae furrowed her brow, then closed the terminal in her hand.
———
On the other side, after class ended, Saiki with the fastest speed came to the school cafeteria.
Here the decor was simple and grand. Although there were not many people in the school, the cafeteria space was extremely vast. A dazzling array of dishes was neatly arranged in rows of counters, almost like a rainbow composed of delicacies. There were even foreign cuisines.
Any student arriving in the cafeteria would involuntarily exclaim, and the first to arrive here, Saiki, his mouth slightly curled up.
The purpose he came to this school was very simple, it was because here there were sweet delicacies he usually simply could not eat.
Although Saiki possessed teleportation ability, he could only move to places he had already been. If he wanted to taste desserts from all over the world, it would surely be troublesome. And this school could save him that trouble.
If possible, Saiki naturally could directly use teleportation to go from the classroom straight to the cafeteria. However, he already knew in advance that the school installed a great number of cameras. At least on the surface, he could not use too conspicuous psychic powers.
But slightly releasing his physical strength was possible. This was also why Saiki could arrive at the cafeteria before everyone else.
As a psychic, Saiki's physical strength was also far beyond ordinary people.
Saiki quickly came to the dessert area, immediately picked several different kinds of coffee jelly, then used his terminal to scan, successfully using points to buy them all.
'Being able to obtain points in the school, this really is convenient.'
'Normally, the allowance wouldn't be nearly enough to buy so much coffee jelly at once.'
