The door slid open and a beautiful women with shoulder length light brown hair and violet eyes walked in with her hands on the hips, feigned anger.
"Hai everyone ~. Get to your seat or sensei will be angry- oh!"
She paused before nodding in approval. She then turned around, took a chalk and wrote a name. Each stroke elegant and her handwriting was beautiful.
"Chie Hoshinomiya-that's my name. Don't forget it okay ~? Or sensei will be sad~."
Hoshinomiya said. The students in the class were stunned silent for a bit before a student spoke up.
"... How could we forget name of such a beautiful sensei?"
"Oh!? Which cute student just praise sensei~?"
A boy with blue hair and gradient purple eyes awkwardly raised his hand.
"Sou Shibata-kun! That was nice of you to say! But sensei prefers to be called adorable instead! Understood?"
She said with a sterne expression. From the back, Kiruyin observed everything with a grimaced expression. Finding this teacher very cute. But his gut feeling told another story. He shifted his expression and panned his gaze through the classroom. The sensei was engaged in chat with students while some overly excited ones joined in and spoke with out permission. She entertained them as well.
He then turned to the camera. The feeling of something wrong still there. His eyes drifted down to his new sensei who seemed more like a child than he was.
'Wow... she turned a bunch of well mannered students into mannerless ones in span of minutes. Well... THAT'S WHY SHE'S THE GOAT!!'
Kiruyin couldn't help but give proper to the sensei. His gaze drifted a little downwards from her face and nodded in affirmation.
'Yep. Literally the GOAT in every sense. But why is she doing that though?'
Kiruyin couldn't help but wonder how someone like that got a job in such prestigious school. Even became a homeroom teacher. His mind spun in high speed. Trying to figure out the cause. But there is little he knows about this school.
But one thing is sure that the teacher infront of him is not simple. She must have her own reason for such behaviour. Kiruyin didn't think her personality was fake. Nor was the fact that she was... unreliable at the moment. She was... an interesting character to say the least.
'The school is definitely hiding something big. For what reason?... nothing comes to mind other then the school Committee being a bunch of sadistic basterds... Yeah. Let's go with that for now. Or I will start itching to know. I will definitely have to investigate after sensei leaves. Or I can say good bye to tonight's sleep.'
Kiruyin had put on his attention facade while his thoughts were running faster than F1 cars. But the thoughts crashed into an abrupt halt when a student begrudgingly stood up. He had violet hair and sharp yellow eyes.
"Sensei. According to the guide book. The sensei is supposed to explain the rules of this S-System to us. Please explain it."
He said seriously. The whole class turned their head towards him. But the student has his eyes fixed on the sensei. She looked at him with agape expression before she pouted. Hands on her hips. Feigned anger and said,
"Ryuji Kanzaki-kun!! You can't be impatient! You handsome boy can't be impatient if you want a girlfriend! Girls don't like impatient boys you know! At least. Sensei likes steady and mature men~."
Her angry expression morphed into a smile at the end. Kanzaki guy seemed very bamboozled. His mind rattled with the unexpectedly absurd and out of context answer.
But at the moment, other students seemed to have regained their lost IQ and realised the topic was indeed important. The pushover girl stood up with a smile.
"Sensei. The entrance ceremony is in an hour. So maybe next time? Can you please explain the rules~?"
She said coyly. The sensei sighed in great reluctance.
"Mo~ I can't do anything about you guys. Alright ~ I will tell you."
She bent down and pulled up a box from the podium. She instructed the pushover to distribute the things that look like phones.
"These phones will be your student ID. Aside from you guys not being able to communicate to outside world, this is normal phone. With the edition of a pre installed app by by school. Where you have been given 100,000 points. 1st of every month, points will be deposited into your accounts. Each point is equivalent of 1 yen. With points you can buy anything!"
The sensei explain with an haughty expression. Her chin tilting up at the end. The phones were given to the front desk and from there, the students passed them down to the person behind them. Kiruyin received his and opened it.
And the phone was, as the sensei said, like a normal phone in functionality. He opened the inbuilt app from the school.
[Points: 100,000]
And there it was. 100,000 points. In other words, 100,000 yen. Never in his life had he held this much money. It felt surreal to him that it became hard to believe. But reality was, it was happening. His heart started to beat faster in anticipation of the things he could do. The food he could eat.
But he didn't let the thoughts go ahead of himself.
'Sensei didn't specify if we will get full 100,000 or not. And anything she said...'
Kiruyin was now sure that this school with a catchy name has something wrong. And he was becoming more and more eager to know. He looked up. Waiting for the sensei to finish so he could go out and unearth the secrets of this school.
'How curious!'
Excitement filled his heart. He instinctively started to dab his right leg. Although he could ask the sensei, but he was 90% sure that she will not answer, given how redundant her explanation was. It probably has something to do with the information scarcity regarding this school in the outside world. So, she may not be allowed to speak.
"Are you guys happy now? And I know what you guys will ask. I would have told you. But now I'm not going to mmph~. Figure it out yourselves! Goodbye!"
With that, sensei picked her things and walked to go out of the class.
'Yep. Told ya.'
Kiruyin was now 100% sure that there was more to it than meets the eye. The two hints are bare minimum the teachers are allowed to speak as of now... probably.
The sensei suddenly stopped and her expression shifted dramatically. From feigned anger to child like excitement.
"I totally forgot to tell you guys the most important rule! Since the dorms are mixed, inappropriate relationships between men and women is strictly prohibited. But! As long you don't get caught, it's fine! Sensei will cover for you~~. Now goodbye~. Hope you enjoy your new life~."
With that, she strode out of the class without giving anyone any time to process.
An awkward silence stretched through the class. Some students shifted in unease.
'Is it just me or everyone noticed that the sensei tried to diverge everyone's attention with that comment?'
Kiruyin looked around the class and noticed some students have faint blush in their face.
'... They fell for that...?'
Kiruyin panned his gaze agape. But he didn't blame them as the topic the sensei chose really was attention grabbing. Its literally saying it's not cheating if you don't get caught.
But even then, some students weren't distracted but their earlier drive has clearly diminished quiet a bit. Like, the poop coloured eye guy.
He was brooding in his desk. Irritation evident in his face.
"... She is... a sensei isn't she?"
Someone murmured. Not fully able to articulate their thought. Others agreed involuntarily.
Seeing the awkwardness, the pushover got up from her seat, walked up to the podium. Her smile radiant like a sun. Making many boys stare in daze.
"Everyone! Attention please! I think we shouldn't feel bad about Hoshinomiya-sensei. She must've had her reasons that she couldn't tell us all the rules. And as she said, we should figure it our ourselves. So everyone. Let's do our best from now on! Not just as classmates but as a team!"
She said cheerfully. Changing the atmosphere of the room. Elevating everyone's mood greatly.
'At least she is competent...'
Kiruyin gazed at the scene with an impassive gaze. Not moving much. Only his eye balls moved which were abscured by his bangs. Not getting much attention. He sat upright, hands clasped on the table.
"There are still some time left before entrance ceremony, so. How about we introduce ourselves!? We still don't know each other. Should I start then? What do you think Kanzaki-kun?"
Poop coloured eye guy, Kanzaki, snapped out of his daze. He looked around and noticed that some were lookin at him with worried gaze. He realised he was making others uncomfortable. So he decided to drop the S-System rules for now. They can figure it out later.
"Yes. Forgive me everyone. I didn't take your feelings into consideration. We should definitely introduce ourselves. Please go ahead Ichinose-san."
He stood up and apologised to everyone and sat back again with a sigh. His expression much more relaxed.
'Itchy nose(said in English)?'
Corner of Kiruyin's lips twisted violently, Like magnitude 15 earthquake was taking place. He was trying his absolute best to not laugh out loud. He hunched forward, rubbed his face just to ease the tension. Now he has another reason he wants to get our of the class quickly. He needed to laugh.
"Great! Then I will start! My name is Honami Ichinose! You can call me Honami if you will! I like sweets. And I want to open a bakery after I graduate from university with certificate on that subject!"
Ichinose said enthusiastically. Clasping her hands in excitement. Then one by one, every one started to introduce themselves. Kiruyin tried to remember their name. But he forgot few moments later.
'Damn my Nominal Aphasia...'
He became displeased. The urge to laugh out loud died down. Except for Ichinose Honami, the poop coloured eye guy, Ryuji Kanzaki and So(Sou) Shibata, no other name left enough impression to make him remember. And he remembered those three name because he gave them weird attributes...
Slowly, Kiruyin's turn was approaching. His brows were frowned.
'Why do I feel that if I don't act like a socially awkward guy, I will regret it later?'
He was getting this weird feeling that he will regret it if he introduced himself normally or the way he wants to.
(Imagination)
Kiruyin stood up with a Bright smile when his turn came.
"Hello everyone! I'm Kiruyin Sakiho! And I am a misogynist! Please take care of me!"
(Imagination end)
'Is what I would like to do but... that will be surely be the end of my social life... social death.'
He really wanted to introduce himself that way. A while back, a short of counter strike in YouTube left quiet an impact on him. And since them, he would remember it and laugh to himself sometimes. Somewhere along the line, he wanted to introduce himself like that.
'Let's not be a dumb ass and do this normally.'
Kiruyin shrunk his neck slightly, shifted his bangs to the side so others can see his nervous eyes. He started fidgeting with his fingers. Pressed his lips into a thin line.
His demeanor exuding nervous aura. When his time came, he stood up while looking around nervously. Neither too fast or slow. Just enough to tell that "I'm nervous as fuck right now". His posture slightly hunched forward, inclined on the table, supported by his hands.
Everyone was looking at him. He gulped loudly to add some extra touch. Then he begun.
"Um... I-I'm Kiruyin Sakiho! I'm a miso-I mean- I'm from Saitama Prefecture! I have hobby of drawing! I-I hope we all can get along from now on! Please take care of me!"
He said in rapped succession. Earning some giggles from some girls and chuckles from the boys. Confirming that his act was effective.
'Gosh dang it! I almost slipped! I need to visit reality to escape the Internet! Dang it!'
Kiruyin cursed internally. Ichinose at the front gestured the next person to introduce themselves.
'... Guess I will not call you a pushover anymore.'
Kiruyin appreciated the kind gesture by Ichinose and felt somewhat bad for calling her a pushover and decided that he will help her overcome that weakness in return... if he can that is. Even though he intentionally acted like a pushover himself, it was still hella embarrassing. So Ichinose's interval was well appreciated.
'But oh well, that stammering added a bit more of realism. So that's a plus...'
He gaze involuntarily moved over to the camera. Noting that it was on. But didn't think much of it. The introduction was done and students group from their seats and surrounded the three Hero's of this class. Itchy nose, poop coloured eye guy and So Shibata. Using this chance, Kiruyin slipped out of the class.
He took out his phone and noted that there were still little over 50 minutes before the entrance ceremony.
'I better hurry.'
With that, he put his phone away and increased his pace. His heart beating in curious excitement. Ready to uncover the secret of this school. His first destination a vending machine nearby.
He really wanted to try and experience the feeling of getting something practically free. After getting something from the vending machine, he will visit the seniors building. If he had something while he looked around, it will somewhat give off the impression of "just bitching around" more.
And after that, he will go to a convince store nearby.
"Perfect plan... Yep. No doubt about it. Ah~ I'm so smart!"
Kiruyin tried to boost his ego to maintain his sanity among all the super smart people while walking.
'Let's see how much is 'anything' the sensei mentioned'
If he bought something he weren't supposed to be able to, then it really will mean one can by anything. But Kiruyin's mind tried to run towards the dark side, getting tempted by the voice in his mind. So, he increased his pace to not thunk about those... thoughts.
