93 first day

Following the corridor, Alex and Kengo momently stopped in front of the elevator. Entering, Alex pushed on the last button, the 6 levels.

"Do you know the general layout of the building?"

"Yes. The firsts six floors are divided into 120 room of four. All the building rooms had the same area of 12 square meters, two bunk beds, four desks, a half bathroom, four dressers, and a small, common shelf.

Those five floors have a total capacity of 2,880 students, while the last floor had a private room for further 120 students, bringing the total amount to 3,000. Those had a similar layout, with a single bed, larger desk, shelf and dresser. They also had a private full bathroom, unlike the common one below. They are usually reserved for more wealthy families' students. For that privilege, the students are required to look over their room, as the janitor would not clean them, less enter them."

As Kengo explanation ended, the elevator chimed, warning them of their arrival. Looking at the raw of doors, Alex caught the sight of a second corridor on his left, as the room was made in ranks of four.

The first one on his left bore the N°4, the one on his left, the N°3 and N°8 for the one after.

After walking down the twenty-nine door on the left, Alex stood in front of the N°120; Alex inserts the key and opens the locked door. Entering, Alex was greeted with a large room bathed in the rising sunlight, a luxury shared with only thirteen other room through the two windows. The 4*3 room was cut in two by the bathroom facing the entry. The left 3*3 was divided for the king-size bed on the right, against the wall. The shelf and desk on the right, while the window was put before the bathroom and after the bed.

Inside the bathroom, a shower was on the right, with a sink shortly after the small wardrobe. The second window was above the small dresser, with a toilet at the right end.

"I understand now why Yuriko-san bought me bedding," said Alex as he sights the bed.

Both worked rapidly, storing all clothes and the different linens bought. Looking at the plan at the back of the rules, he saw the basement, with the laundry facilities.

The day after the students install themselves in the dorms came the introduction day. All students, for the three years, were present in the large gym. On the stage, Alex could see the school staff. With just the class numbers, the school needed 375 teachers to assign them to the equally numerous classes. Thankfully, all three years were divided into three buildings, as there wouldn't have a place to house the hundred-plus class per floor on a single building this size.

Skipping the headmaster's boring introduction and the different speak from teachers and students council, Alex looked around, catching quite the numbers of gaze at him.

It was difficult not to do, as he was the single students standing out in the crowd, by it from the stage or from the ground. With his near two meters, Alex dwarfed all in the school, students and professors alike. Add to that his crimson hair, green eyes and a fair complexion; he was like a shining beacon amidst the sea.

From his spot, he though to caught Saya pink hair in the corner of his eyes but found no trace of the other protags, lost in the sea of heads around.

As the speech finally end, Students were called by names from teachers, after divided themselves by building they would be taught during the year.

Not knowing how the class were divided, Alex waited before his name was called and follow his classmate to the classroom. Seating at his designed place, at the end of the class, he looked boringly at the front since he was a last addition on the roaster.

"Welcome class; I'm Kyoshiro Namimori, history teacher and representant of this 3A; C building' class. Most of you know the one on your side, as the class had been kept from the previous year disposition, other than some last minutes addition."

At Kyoshiro words, all turned to Alex, making internally groan.

-Here we are, the sheep return. I really didn't miss this.- Said CS painfully, felling dying inside at the memories of the dumb sheep that made wizarding Britain, back at Hogwarts, superposing themselves with the class.

'Don't remind me; all I hope is that the outbreak happens soon; I don't think I will be able to deal with it for too long.'

-Remind me why you accepted to participate in this farce, while you can have homeschooled yourself as you did with Hogwarts.- Painfully yowled CS.

'Saya.'

-Ah, right! Fuck!- Sweared CS.

~~~

During that time, the 3A teacher passed-over a printed schedule and a building plan, with an annotated classroom for disciplines outside the classroom.

As the lunch bell rang, all students and professors were stunned to hear the class's back door open, and the steps sound rapidly vanishing. When they looked for Alex, they found the seat empty to participate in their gossip training tradition.

Pr. Kyoshiro scrolled at this. 'That why I didn't want to have the stranger in my class! Those uncultured swine would bring the fall of our education and social system! But no! Since the brat knows the Takagi, I had to play nice, fucking gaijin!' Needlessly to said Pr. Kyoshiro was a tad racist on edge, another reason Alex didn't stay, after reading his surface thoughts.

Following the plan he was given, Alex rapidly travelled to the fourth building linked to the classrooms, other than the staff room and the cafeteria.

He took out his wallet, given by Yuriko before departing yesterday, and looked inside to see what he had. He crossed paths with two Yukichi, four Ichiyo and stopped at the eight Shurei-mon and sixteen Hideyo. He shook his head at the absurd amount he had inside the brand new wallet and took two Hideyo's and one Shurei-mon, throwing the wallet back in his storage.

-Did the woman give you Y72,000?!-

'Yup, but I don't know how much they would last me; the Japanese sandwichs size is just too small.'

As he walked the corridor out of his class, Alex briefly looked at the distant building before shrugging and jumping from the window. He frightens some students on their way, too, for seeing someone jumping from the third floor, barely catching themself to the roof of the external corridor linking both building and nonchalantly resuming their walk.

~~~

Looking through the wide selection of bread and sandwiches, Alex rapidly stacked eight of the larger kind, enough to feed ten small eaters, before walking to the cash register.

"Hello, aunty!" Said him jovially while dropping his prize.

"Hello, sweety, my! That quite the numbers!" said her, happy to see someone that carefree and social, before being surprised and then suspicious of the numbers. "You not bullied to go fetch them for others, are you?"

"Nope! I'm just a growing boy!" Said him, rolling the P.

"I could see that." Responded here dryly before shrugging and start to scan. As long as he wasn't bullied and pay, it wasn't her job to scowl him. "As long as nothing wasted. That will be Y2,600."

"Here you are." Said him, giving the two of the three banknotes he fished before. The aunty behind the counter registered the sell, before giving him back four Y500 and twenty Y100.

"Thank you for your patronage!"

"Mn!" Hummed him while exiting the room, just before the stampede rushing to him. Looking for the drinks dispenders.

Sending two of is Y500 coins of the change in 6L of green tea, Alex made his merry way to a corner of his classroom building rooftop. Alex falls right in a suitable angle to catch the news. Popping, his ears after throwing a notice-me-not on himself, Alex sat and munched on a sandwich while watching the verdict of Ichirou Shido' trial.

~~~

"... Ichirou Shido, raise." Spoke the judge, shortly translated for the man in prisoner grabs. "After the jury of the UN debate came to an end on common ground, they found you guilty of all the charges against you... SILENCE! Your fortune will be sized and divided between the different victims, the British and Evans government. The Japanese government claim all lands and business under your name as their shares, and you will be condemned to 50 years, incompressible.

On the demand of the Evans government, as main offended, you will pass your first 30 years in their custody, before transferred to Britain for 10 years and to Japan for the rest of your sentence!" Striking his mallet, the verdict was given. "As the Evans government hadn't wished to become part of the UN, a team of inspectors will be sent to made sure that they possess the necessaries installation."

Hearing the sentence, Alex grinned wickedly, knowing the outbreak was near; he would have no shame getting rid of the man.

In the following minutes, the other agencies having a hand in the illegal land overtake passed in front of the judges, gaining similar, if lesser, sentence. The real estate agent and its agency faced penalties that would ruin them, forcing the owner to pay in his pocket as he was responsible for the agency deals. Tokonosu mayor was banned for any political career and left in the custody of the Japanese government. All those men accounts would be dried to pay Alex, and Japan would overtake all lands and business.

The majority of the Tokonosu council was incarcerated for criminal association charges, Opening the way for Soichiro if the man had any political ambition after the shrine's story was revealed.

By the time the trial came to an end, Alex was several millions of Yens richer, and the break would end shortly.

-What are you going to do with this money?-

'The only thing it worth for in the remaining time, raws materials. If I want to support a group of any population, I need to build a reserve. Most would be spent on grains. With a port in Tokonosu and Japan production, It would rapid. After that, ores, gems and farming tools.

The island isn't suitable for rice and other grains culture, vegetable yes, but not grains. With raids I would make in the following months after the outbreak, I will stock enough to last until I found a solution.

I was also thinking about spending some on husbandry. The island lacks wild games. By introducing them back, I hope to use them as meat providers in a few months.'

~~~

Alex spent a few tedious hours to further plan back to class rather than listen to Kyoshiro sprouting. Most were about the year program, the ongoing travels projects, festivals and the like. As the bell chimes the end of the day, Alex didn't lose time to socialise with would-be zombies in months.

Tracking Saya odour among the thousands one, Alex only needed fives minutes to found her through ingenious short-cut know as windows. He arrived just in time to see her prepare her things and ready to exit the class.

"Saya, can I spoke to you a second?"

Alex voice and surprise arrival made more than one jumps haven't heard him coming. As the silence fell, all heads turned to say pink-haired girl, and young high school girls' genetic disease, know as gossip, ramps up.

Before she could respond, Alex had the second bad surprise to fall chest to face with one of the worst Harem protags of all history, Takashi Komuro.

"What do you want to Takagi-san!"
