1 Class A

"Hey," A voice called out gently, trying to wake someone from her lap. "Hey wake up, we are about to arrive."

"Huh, I fell asleep again, are we there, Kiyo-tan?" A 12-year-old woke up from his nap and looked around. Then stared at a blacked hair lady for a little bit, until of course

"We are almost there, please get ready."

Nice yawned, and looked around when a young girl called out to a handsome student, "Would you mind letting this old lady have your seat, please? She looks tired from standing."

"That is an absurd question, pretty lady," The blonde said as he flicks his hair, "I don't get why I have to give up my seat, I have no legal obligation to do so."

"Ahhh, Koenji-san, long time no see," Said Nice as he sat up and walk up to him, and Ayanokouji let a sigh and followed him, "Old lady, you can have my seat," Nice said on the way as he approaches Koenji. "Oya, if it isn't Kice-kun. How are you doing?"

"Eh, good, you are going to that school as well. Though, within my calculations but the probability is still low for you."

Koenji laughed at that statement, not his arrogant laugh but, he is laughing at something stupid laugh, "Hahaha, judging from the uniform, you too are going to that school, no? Even though you are his son, and still 12. Haha, to think he would make an exception for you, how beautiful."

"Well, what can I say, I wanted to know. To know all kinds of things..."

"We should end the conversation here, that pretty lady has been staring at you for a while, I assume she would want to talk to you." Nice turned around to see the girl indeed staring at him. So he approached her, "Is there anything you need?"

"I just wanted to say thank you for letting that old lady having your seat," She said with a small bow.

"It's fine, I wanted to talk to my friend. Besides, he isn't wrong, you could've asked anyone else, or just call out to everyone."

"You are right, I can't just single on him. Anyway, I am Kikyo Kushida, Nice to meet you." She said with a smile, and Nice returned her greeting.

"I am Nice, I can't tell you my family name because of some personal reason, but nice to meet you."

"Ah, looks like we are here, see you around at school," She said as they all got off the bus, and jog a bit while waving at them.

When they were going up the stairs they were met by the girl Nice was staring at earlier, "Why were you staring at me? No matter how cute you are, being stared at by a stranger is still uncomfortable."

"Hm? Why was I staring at you? Hmm..." Nice was thinking, and after a while, she had her answer, "Because you are cute." With that simple answer she left, and her reaction is only known to herself.

Nice went to Class A and took a seat by the window next to a young girl. She had natural white hair and had a cane on the side of the desk. As usual with Nice, he stared at her for a while, a little longer than with that lady on the bus. She turned her head towards him and instead of being disgusted, she smiled, "Is there anything, you need from me?"

"Huh? Oh, umm, I just thought you have a rather small figure, so I thought you were the same as me...." Nice said shyly, he may act normally around Ayanokouji or distracted, but facing off another human being is really taxing.

"No, this has been a handicap I have born with, unfortunately. Without this cane, I would have a really hard time walking without it. It has accompanied me since when I was small."

"OH, oh, I am sorry, please forgive me, I didn't know," Nice said while panicking, think she was going to get angry at him.

"It's quite fine since we are classmates, it would be very troublesome to not know my name. I am Sakayanagi Arisu, nice to meet you, Nice-kun," She said with a small yet sweet smile. Nice too smiled, but then encountered a question, "How did you know my name? I don't recall giving you my name after all."

"Fufu, my father told me of your arrival," She said, "I was also told to take care of you in this school. So, please allow me to give you a tour after school."

"Your father? Hmm, Sakayanagi, chairman, oh," Nice thought about it for a bit, as if a literal light bulb lit up, he found out who exactly this girl is, "You are his daughter, aren't you? I have heard about you from mine and your dad."

This got her interest, "Oh? What exactly did my father talk about me?"

Nice thought for another while, "Marriage, he said that you have the highest chance of being my wife." Though he said something important so casually, he was used to marriage proposals by parents with the intention of his father's company. But, with Arisu, she had a small hint of red on her face, but she still said, "Fufufu, I wouldn't mind marrying someone as cute as you..." That cause Nice to raised an eyebrow, and made a teasing smile, "Oya, are you flirting with me, that is unexpected,"

Sakayanagi couldn't find any words to deny him, but she was saved by the teacher.

"Settle down, good morning, I am the homeroom teacher for Class A, my name is Mashima Tomonari. I teach English, and at this school, we do not change homeroom teachers each grade. For the next three years, I will be acting as your homeroom teacher, I hope I can help you all grow. It's a pleasure to meet you. The entrance ceremony will be in the gymnasium one hour from now, but first, I will distribute the written materials with information about this school's special rules. I will also be handing out the admissions guide."

The student in the front row passed it down to the student behind them until the last row.

This school differed from the multitude of other Japanese high schools in a few key ways. Here, all students were required to live in dormitories located on school premises. Also, except for special cases, such as studying abroad, students were forbidden to contact anyone outside the school. Even contact with your immediate family was forbidden without authorization. Naturally, leaving school grounds without permission was also strictly forbidden.

However, the campus also came equipped with many excellent facilities. With its own karaoke spot, theater, café, boutique, and more, you could easily compare this school to a small city. The campus spread over more than 600,000 square meters.

This school boasted another unique feature: the S System.

"I will now hand out your student ID cards. By using your card, you can access any of the facilities on campus, purchase goods from the store, and so on. It acts like a credit card. However, it is imperative that you pay attention to the points that you spend. At this school, you can use your points to buy anything. Anything located on the school premises is available for purchase."

Their points, loaded onto our student ID cards, acted as a kind of currency. The lack of paper money would prevent many students' financial troubles. However, students needed to keep a watchful eye on their spending habits. At any rate, the school provided these points free of charge.

"Your student cards can be used simply by swiping them through the machine scanner. The method is simple, so you shouldn't get confused.

Points are automatically deposited into your account on the first of every month. You should all have received 100,000 points already. Keep in mind that one point is worth one yen. No further explanation should be necessary."

The classroom, although relatively calm, still got excited.

In other words, they had received a 100,000-yen monthly allowance from the school upon admission.

"Shocked by the number of points you've been given? This school evaluates its students' talents. Everyone here has passed the entrance examination, which itself speaks to your value and potential. The amount you've received reflects the evaluation of your worth. You can use your points without restraint. After graduation, however, all of your points return to the school. Because it's impossible to exchange your points for cash, there's no advantage to saving them. Once points have been deposited into your account, it's up to you how to spend them. Do as you like. In the event that you don't want to spend your points, you may transfer them to someone else. However, extorting money from your peers is not allowed. This school monitors bullying very carefully."

As bewilderment spread among the students, Mashima-sensei looked over the room.

"Well, it appears no one has any questions. I hope that you enjoy your time here as students."

Then the teacher left, and the class has started form groups, and Nice started talking to Sakayanagi. "This school is the best, isn't it? Imagine all the manga and light novels I could buy. Just imagining it makes me excited." He said giggly to Sakayanagi, "Hey, do you read light novels or manga, or even anime?? Do you? Do you?"

"Fufu, no, but if you have any good recommendations, I will try it out. But it seems we need to go to the gym, so maybe another time."

"Ah, ahh!! That's right, we have to get to the gym or else we are going to be late. Ah, you are going to be late too with that handicap, do you need me to carry you?"

"It would be fine, besides I know a short cut, would you like to come with me?"

"Of course, what are we waiting for, let's go," Nice said as he grabbed her hand and she grabbed her cane, since she has Nice also supporting her she could walk a bit faster than usual, just like her heart.

When they got to the gym, it was already filled with people, but it was just like any other school, boring speech and general information about the campus. The students then slowly drift off and explore the school.

"Ne! Ne! Is that tour is available? Can you give me a tour now?" Nice asked excitedly, and Sakayanagi just smile and answered with, "Yes, if you don't mind, now why don't we start with the mall. We have a mall called Keyaki Mall. Let's go right now."

Time skip bought to you by Chibi Nice panicking around Chibi Sakayanagi

They went to the mall and looked around, first they went to the clothing store.

"This suits you quite well, don't you think, try it on," Sakayanagi said to Nice while he is fidgeting around.

"Eh, right, OK, where is the changing room?" Said Nice, "Oh, there it is, I will be right back." He then went in there with the cloth Sakayanagi pick for him. But right after, he peeked outside, "No peeking."

He then went to change inside the room.

They went and play around some more, Cafe, karaoke, and more.

"Is there anywhere that sells light novels and manga?"

"I am unsure, maybe be we can see if the library has them."

"Ohh, let's go then, what are we waiting for."

They arrived at the library and asked where they should go. On their way to that section, they bumped into someone, who was looking for a book.

"Owie, Owie, huh? Ahh! Are you OK? Do you need help? Do you need me to do something? Do you need me to call the ambulance?"

Nice panicked as he fluttered around the girl he bumped into.

"Fufu, there is no need to panic, she doesn't seem hurt."

Sakayanagi calmed Nice down, and he did.

"It rare for people to go to the library to look for books, especially right after the ceremony."

"Ah, that is true, people aren't interested in books, but I like them, the texture, the ink, the smell, and the story behind them. Ah, sorry, I have gotten carried away. I am Shiina Hiyori, a pleasure to meet you. Are you interested in some books?"

"Well, I was looking for the light novel sections..."

"I see, although I am not familiar with those types of books, I can show you the way."

"Please do," They went to the section and Nice went around to start scouting the books, while Sakayanagi and Shiina stayed back and watch him being a child in a candy store.

"Fufu, he is quite cute, isn't he?"

That question caught Shiina off guard, "Ehh? Yes, I would say so in terms of both his personality and physical appearance."

"Would you like to have lunch with us later? We are planning on getting some food after buying some books."

"Is that fine? I never got invited during middle school..."

"Is that so? You are welcome to hang out with us anytime."

"Thank you, ah looks like he is done."

Nice had about 20 books in his hand. When they got to the reception table, Nice wanted to pay but Sakayanagi insisted she pays so he let her. It costs a total of ¥1,300.

"Where are we going next?"

Nice ask as he was getting quite hungry. "We were just discussing lunch. You wouldn't mind if Shiina-San joins, right?"

"Eh? Is it fine? Yay! She is joining us, I thought I would have to ask her."

"Fufu, yes, now where do you want to go? The school has quite a lot of options to offer after all."

"Hmm..."

"I heard that there is a cafeteria nearby, why don't we go there?" Shiina suggested.

The others agreed so they went there.

"Wua~ This is more luxurious than I imagined. Hey look, they even serve sushi~"

"Why don't you and Sakayanagi-San go save some seats, what will you have Nice-Kun?"

"I want Raman. What do you want Sakayanagi-Chan."

"I will have the same."

They went and find some seats, and Nice start to read happily. While Sakayanagi stared at him with a faint smile on her face.

Shiina went to them with three bowls of ramens.

"Thank you Shiina-Chan. Itadakimasu~"

Then happily dig in, and so did the others. When they finished they played around the campus for some more, but it was sunset so Shiina parted with them, but before then~

"I, I, I want your phone number, can I have it.....?" Shiina asked shyly, it is her first time asking the opposite sex's phone number.

"Fufu~" Sakayanagi just laughed silently on the side watching the show as it happened.

"Ehh, my phone. That's fine, here. Make sure to hang out with us in the future alright?"

"Yeah, sure." though the answer was short, in Shiina's heart, it was already in chaos and the moment she is left alone, she let all that out.

So, Shiina ran away in a hurry, leaving a confused Nice and a smirking Sakayanagi.

"Ah, that's right, we haven't even check out the dorm yet."

"Yes, we should call it a day, let get some drinks on the way to our dorms."

The sky is already dark and people are already mostly gone.

"This is almost like a date, right?"

"Fufu, you could interpret it like that."

Though her tone is calm, her cheeks already have a shade of red. To Nice, he can't see her face, but he already knows how she looks.

"What drinks do you need?"

"Whatever you want to drink."

Nice went to the convenience store and came back with a Fanta and a water bottle.

"I thought I said I want to have the same drink."

"The Ramen was too oily for your health, and if you put even more bad chemicals in your body, you will get sick."

"That certainly is true, thank you for being considerate."

There was silence, and they start walking home, but they passed someone else, Nice thought it she was familiar, she also seems to be going to the convenience store.

"Long time no see, Nice"

"Kukukuhahahaha. It has been a long time, like what, 2 years?"

"Yes, indeed, I was waiting to meet you."

"The next 3 years will be fun."

"Indeed, with you by my side, we can make this school our plaything."

"Kukuku, you are not wrong, but I do not intend to ally myself with you."

"Oh? Then are you going to fight me then? If you did win, I wouldn't mind serving under you. Fufu."

"I am here for him to mature and make connections."

"Yes, that is your goal, but do you want to do."

"I am a businessman, as long as I get what I want, I don't care who I am sided with."

"That's not possible, not in this school, not in society, and certainly not in that world."

"Not possible you say,"

He started laughing, into the cold dark night.

Once he calmed down he turned his head over to Sakayanagi. Looking at her with insane eyes, said this...

"I always get what I want."

Ayanokouji Kiyotako's POV

"What an unpleasant coincidence,"

The lady on the bus said next to me. It seems she is my neighbor, this will get troublesome.

The teacher walked in and explained the rules of the school. Starting this month we get 100,000 points. But there is no way that is true, there has to be some kind of trick. And that sentence...

"You can buy anything with these points."

I wonder, Nice would definitely be better than me at this. But, it might be useful.

"What is your name?"

"Quite bold for you to ask for someone's name, even though you just met them."

"It would be really awkward for me to sit next to some I don't even know the name of."

Silence, it seems I failed.

"Horikita Suzune."

Just when I was about to give up, she told me her name. And our conversation was interrupted.

"Guys, there is still time until the opening ceremony, I would want everyone to introduce themself."

A handsome boy rose from his seats and announced to us.

"Here I will start. I am Hirata Yousuke. My hobbies are playing soccer. I hope I can become friends with all of you. Does anyone wants to go next?" He definitely seems like a popular type. A lot of fangirls already have hearts on their heat while looking at him. I wonder, if I don't have Nice, would I like him romantically?

"I guess I will go next. My name is Kushida Kikyo. I plan on becoming friends with everyone, so let's exchange contact numbers. Nice to meet you all."

She will probably be going to be popular with both the girls and the boys. Well, she already has the aura of 'I can get along with anybody'.

Shoot, I guess I am not in the position to think about this stuff, what type of introduction should I have...

"Next up... How about you?"

Hirata ended up picking me for an introduction. How troublesome.

"Huh? Me?"

And he just answers with an Ikemen smile. Dang, I guess I have to at least muster up the energy to do this, for the sake of my school life, let's see...

"Uh... Um... My name is Ayanokouji Kiyotako, uh... I look forward to studying with you. Ah... Um... I don't really have anything that I am good at. Uh... I will work hard to get along with everyone."

"..."

I fail miserably...

Though everyone is clapping, it's probably just full of pity.

The opening ceremony was boring and typical, I did see Nice with some else though, so I decided not to bother them. I went to the convenience store to buy some essentials.

"What another unpleasant coincidence."

We talked a bit, well more like her insulting me, I then noticed something strange.

"Free... Items?

I must be for people who used up all their points.

When I turn around, Horikita was gone, ah, I forgot a conversation is where at least people engage in a topic and talking back and forth.

" Whoa, look, they even have G cups."

I heard the student said on the other side of the idle. I unconsciously look down and saw a C cup. Even though I knew they were talking about cup noodles, I can't help it. I wonder what his preference is...

Anyway, it's getting dark, I should get to the dorms, and change into the clothes that come with the room. It's late, I should sleep. I lie down on the bed and fell into unconsciousness. But it seems like I am having a dream...

"I will take her, do you have any objections?"

"I am the one that controls your freedom, no one is truly free. But, come with me I will grant you what you desire the most."

"That seems fun, would you mind if I join?"

"I want you to become my toy, if you do, you won't have to suffer the consequences." That dream again...
