"Why don't we all introduce ourselves? After all, from now on, we'll be friends in the same Class."
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
It was obvious that this suggestion immediately received the approval of most students.
However, a girl sitting next to Suzuki Toru looked at him with a strange expression.
"Do you have paper and a pen?" Suzuki Toru asked the girl. Even sitting in the chair, her tall figure was still apparent. Beneath her skirt, a pair of snow-white, delicate calves, like jade shoots, were exposed. Unlike other girls who kept their legs together, hers were slightly apart and trembling slightly, appearing a bit ungracely.
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the updated version.
At the same time, various wishes flashed through Suzuki Toru's mind.
"Become Kamuro Masumi's master," "Want to play doggy play with Kamuro Masumi," "Want to thoroughly lick Kamuro Masumi's jade feet," "Intentionally report her when she steals something," "Be Kamuro Masumi's dog," "Want to be treated by Kamuro-san with a look of disgust like trash"…
"Want to borrow something?"
"I can also buy it from you, 1,000 yen." Suzuki Toru's expression remained unchanged. Why were these wishes getting more and more perverted?
Kamuro Masumi stared at him blankly, eventually taking out a notebook and a pen from her schoolbag.
"They're yours. Anyway, the school gave us a lot of money, so I don't care."
"Thank you." Suzuki Toru took the notebook and pen. "My name is Suzuki Toru, what's your name?"
At this moment, some people in the classroom had already started introducing themselves, so his words did not seem out of place.
However, Kamuro Masumi's expression grew even stranger.
Because it was Suzuki Toru who had suddenly suggested self-introductions earlier. If she hadn't been sitting next to him, she probably wouldn't have known who was speaking.
"My name is Kamuro Masumi."
"Please take care of me from now on, Kamuro-san."
Suzuki Toru nodded slightly but no longer looked at her, instead beginning to write in his notebook.
Next, Kamuro Masumi noticed that whenever someone stood up to introduce themselves, he would carefully observe them for a few seconds, then continue writing, as if recording something.
This action aroused Kamuro Masumi's curiosity, but from her perspective, she could only see a small corner and not the specific content.
"My name is Katsuragi Kohei. I don't have any special hobbies. My goal is to graduate smoothly and find a good job. I hope to work hard with everyone in the coming life. Please take care of me."
Suzuki Toru looked over. It was the bald student. There were also some wishes on him. Although he didn't know who was making the wishes, they were too few.
The person making the wishes was not Suzuki Toru, nor was it someone in front of him. Even the wish machine itself couldn't figure out the source of these wishes.
Since it couldn't figure it out, the wish machine simply threw all these wishes to Suzuki Toru, letting him personally fulfill them.
In addition to wishes Entanglement around specific targets, occasionally some wishes would float across Suzuki Toru's mind like bullet comments.
"Become the great demon king who rules Class 1," "The fastest student to graduate from Advanced Nurturing High School," "Build a huge harem at Advanced Nurturing High School," "Let the greatest masterpiece happily receive the expulsion package," "Join the Student Council"…
Although the wishes were numerous and chaotic, Suzuki Toru could sometimes roughly outline a situation through them.
However, before that, Suzuki Toru seemed to have a small problem.
"Excuse me, I'm a little curious about what you're writing. Would you mind sharing it?"
Suzuki Toru looked up to see Sakayanagi Arisu smiling at him, her eyes like those of a hunter spotting prey.
Chapter 3: Speculations about the School
If he were to call her 'master' at this moment, he might be able to fulfill a wish immediately.
"I'm calculating my expenses for the next month." Suzuki Toru's gaze moved away from Sakayanagi Arisu's fair neck; she was too small, not suitable.
"You have a habit of planning a budget?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked with a hint of a smile. "Isn't 100,000 yen a month not enough?"
"Tomoya Mashima said this is this month's personal points, but he didn't say there would be the same points next month. Maybe the school will go bankrupt next month."
His voice wasn't loud, but only a few students nearby heard his words.
Kamuro Masumi looked at him with a shocked expression, while the smile in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes grew even more intense.
"Since you have this concern, why didn't you ask earlier?"
"If I were going to go bankrupt, I wouldn't tell anyone in advance." Suzuki Toru said nonchalantly, "Whether the school hides it from us or not, we'll know next month."
"This is a high school that has been established for twenty or thirty years, and its financial operations are currently normal. There will be no bankruptcy as you mentioned," Sakayanagi Arisu said leisurely.
Suzuki Toru pondered, "If it's not bankruptcy, why do you think the school treats us so favorably?"
"Perhaps we have received extremely high evaluations. It's understandable for the school to show favoritism in order to cultivate special talents." Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes slightly, then changed the subject. "I'm very curious, have you already made your budget arrangements? Can I see it?"
Suzuki Toru shook his head, "No, I also need to refer to the school's price levels."
To this, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, "I look forward to your budget plan."
This guy looked so fragile, yet he was unexpectedly thick-skinned.
However, Suzuki Toru didn't intend to completely hide it from anyone. Anyone with eyes could see that he had written a lot of content in his notebook, which was definitely not a budget plan.
"It seems I haven't introduced myself yet. Nice to meet you, my name is Sakayanagi Arisu. As you can see, due to poor health, my legs have always been inconvenient. Please take care of me from now on." She revealed sparkling eyes, her urging meaning was unmistakable.
"Suzuki Toru." He paused. "Please guide me, Arisu Sakayanagi."
Without any surprise, he attracted Sakayanagi Arisu's attention.
Suzuki Toru's heart remained undisturbed.
…
After the self-introductions, it was time for the entrance ceremony.
It wasn't until close to noon that they were dismissed. As expected, no matter where, the leader's speeches were always extremely long and tedious.
After that was free time. Most students were preparing to return to their dorms, and Suzuki Toru was no exception.
However, he kept feeling like someone was following him.
Suzuki Toru looked back and saw Kamuro Masumi averting her gaze, with an expression that implied they were just walking the same way.
"Kamuro-san, I have a question for you."
Hearing his words, Kamuro Masumi subconsciously looked at him. This guy seemed quite familiar?
But that was fine too. She no longer hid and simply walked openly beside Suzuki Toru, though still maintaining a slight distance.
"Speak your mind."
Suzuki Toru nodded, then said, "How did you get into this school?"
As if a sensitive spot had been poked, Kamuro Masumi immediately glared at Suzuki Toru. "How else? Of course, I got in fair and square, and I went through an interview just like you!"
Although her voice was loud, there was a strange hint of guilt in it.
Sometimes, the more one emphasizes something, the more one lacks it. Suzuki Toru pondered, was her admission score poor?
No, perhaps he was overthinking.
"I'm not questioning you at all. I just want to ask if you noticed anything strange at the time, for example, what were the assessment criteria?" Suzuki Toru had no relevant memories. He knew nothing about this place. The wish machine had just forcibly shoved him into this world.
"Strange places?" Kamuro Masumi thought for a moment. "They asked a lot of personal questions. I don't know the criteria, but they weeded out a lot of people."
As she spoke, a hint of schadenfreude clearly flashed across her face. Perhaps someone she knew had been eliminated, and she felt a little pleased.
"It seems we are all very lucky." Suzuki Toru noticed the cameras on the road; their density was a bit high.
From the gymnasium to the dormitory, the school had placed about ten cameras, leaving virtually no blind spots.
"Lucky… I just heard your conversation with Sakayanagi." Kamuro Masumi didn't hide her little thoughts. "Didn't you say there wouldn't be 100,000 personal points next month?"
"I said 'possibly'." Suzuki Toru turned to look at her. Although the girl was somewhat tall, she was still not as tall as Suzuki Toru.
With just a slight downward glance, he could not only see her jade-like earlobes through her hair but also catch a glimpse of the snowy white collar of her student uniform, faintly revealing the outline of her collarbone. Compared to Sakayanagi Arisu, she was clearly superior.
Hmm, here, it specifically refers to the front armor.
"Did you notice the ratio of Class points to personal points?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Kamuro Masumi frowned. Of course, she had noticed it, but Tomoya Mashima said he would explain later, so she didn't think much of it.
In fact, many students in Class A had similar thoughts.
"Just like your evaluations, the school also assesses the strength of each Class." Suzuki Toru repeated Tomoya Mashima's words. "He made it very clear that Class points might be the standard for measuring a Class's level. Since it's a quantifiable standard, there will inevitably be differences between the various classes."
Kamuro Masumi was startled, and then he continued, "It might not just be the difference between classes. 'Just like your evaluations' indicates that based on this standard, our evaluations will also change."
"Returning to personal points, his explanation was 'for those of you who successfully enrolled, there is corresponding value and potential'. So personal points might be our 'value and potential'. If nothing unexpected happens, this will also be the individual difference between students."
Suzuki Toru tried to keep his explanation simple, because Kamuro Masumi was looking at him with a blank expression, seemingly having never thought about these things at all.
That's not right, she and Suzuki Toru clearly heard the exact same words, so how did she not hear these meanings?
Could it be that she was too stupid?
Impossible!
"This is just your guess, right? If so, why didn't Tomoya Mashima tell us?" Kamuro Masumi maintained a reserved attitude.
"Maybe it's too early for us." Suzuki Toru smiled. "Perhaps for some reason, he can't tell us. However, he has actually said a lot of things; we just need to verify our ideas."
He felt that Sakayanagi Arisu must have also guessed these things, which was why she didn't continue to press the issue.
Kamuro Masumi hesitated for a moment, then said, "How do you plan to verify it?"
"There are two methods: one is labor-saving, and one is the fastest," Suzuki Toru replied.
Kamuro Masumi was quite surprised. Under these circumstances, there could actually be two methods?
"What's the fastest?"
"Catch a senior student," Suzuki Toru said. "Like students from Class 2, they've spent a whole year here, so they definitely know more about the school than us new students."
"What if they don't want to talk?" Kamuro Masumi asked as a matter of course.
"It's simple, bribe them with points. Since points are equivalent to yen, I don't think anyone would dislike money." Suzuki Toru had, of course, considered similar situations.
Even if, for some reason, the other party still chose to conceal it, Suzuki Toru didn't need to delve too deeply; he just needed to look at their monthly point income.
100,000 personal points to 1,000 Class points—this ratio is worth pondering.
"What about the other method?"
Suzuki Toru stopped walking. It turned out they had unknowingly reached the dormitory building.
"Wait until next month's points are credited."
After saying that, Suzuki Toru walked into the dormitory, leaving Kamuro Masumi standing there with wide eyes.
This is also considered a method?!
No, on second thought, it really is a choice.
As long as the points are credited next month, students will naturally become suspicious if they don't see 100,000 personal points.
At that time, whether it's Tomoya Mashima, the Class advisor, or the school administration, they will certainly have to provide a reasonable explanation.
However, Kamuro Masumi thought of an even more terrifying problem.
If Suzuki Toru had completely guessed the truth…
As a member of Class A, what kind of monster was she sharing a Class with!
Chapter 4: Rewards, Rewards
Suzuki Toru discovered that this was a mixed-gender dormitory building, with boys on the lower floors and girls on the higher floors.
When collecting dormitory keys and rule handbooks, the administrator repeatedly emphasized that no behavior inconsistent with high school student dating was allowed.
His dormitory was on the second floor, so he didn't even need to take the elevator.
It was not only a single room but also quite spacious, with an area that could be used as a kitchen and a private bathroom.
It was evident that Advanced Nurturing High School indeed treated these students very favorably.
If the conditions remained unchanged, this place would be a paradise many people only dreamed of.
