Chapter 001 Mission

Amidst the gentle April breeze, cherry blossoms cascaded like a delicate pink rain shower, and an opulent black car came to a halt in front of the school gate.

As the car door opened, a schoolgirl dressed as a maid stepped out, her schoolbag in tow, standing respectfully by the vehicle. Following her, a man with jet-black hair, strikingly handsome features, and an impeccably tailored outfit emerged from the car with a radiant smile.

"Today marks the beginning of my journey at this school," Tian Yuyexue declared, his smile growing even more brilliant.

Tian Yuyexue, a sixteen-year-old boy, wasn't originally from this world; he was reborn. Born into the prestigious Amagami family, one of Sakurajima's six major chaebols, which clandestinely controlled 30% of the city's economy and held significant international influence, Tian Yuyexue's background was nothing short of extraordinary.

Given his exceptional talent, Tian Yuyexue received the finest education from the Tianyu family and was groomed as one of the next-generation heirs. However, the path to inheritance was far from straightforward.

Sakurajima's elite families were more intricate than they appeared. To put it simply, the upper echelons of Sakurajima were crowded with heirs, both direct and collateral, numbering well over a hundred individuals.

As a result, the Tianyu family had devised numerous methods to select their heirs, and enrollment in an esteemed institution like Sakurajima High School was one of them.

This state-run school provided a relatively level playing field for the various chaebols to identify their heirs. Here, aside from the laws of Sakurajima, the school's regulations held paramount importance. Even if some chaebols could exert their influence to change the school's leadership, they were still bound by the school's rules, including the chairman. The rules were meticulously enforced, from the chairman down to the students.

Sakurajima High School stood apart from others. It prioritized the absolute dominance of strength and admitted only 160 students per class through specific selection methods.

Each class was further divided into four: ABCD, with 40 students in each. Graduating from Class A came with the promise of the school: the freedom to choose one's desired career path. Professional athletes could be directly scouted for the national team, those seeking higher education could enter Sakurajima's prestigious university without an entrance exam, and aspiring politicians could choose their preferred department and begin their careers from the ground up.

Hence, the four classes competed fervently for three years, vying for the coveted opportunity to graduate from Class A and realize their dreams.

Competition was fierce, making it an ideal ground for chaebols to identify their heirs. However, graduating from Class A was just the fundamental requirement.

Three years down the line, the families would test how many Class A graduates were willing to relinquish their dreams and follow Tian Yuyexue. The test revolved around the ability to sway hearts and lead subordinates, a skill vital for the head of a family, where personal strength took a back seat.

"Young Master, I'll take my leave now," the maid-clad girl handed over her schoolbag, bowed slightly, and entered the car as per Tian Yuyexue's permission.

With a moment to spare, Tian Yuyexue surveyed the school before him. Arriving early, he spotted only a few students in red uniforms near the school gate.

The rapid arrival of his luxury car piqued their interest, causing them to turn and gaze at the elegant vehicle in the distance. Simultaneously, a captivating figure on the steps captivated Tian Yuyexue's attention.

A graceful and enchanting girl with a radiant smile was looking in his direction.

This girl possessed waist-length pink hair, sapphire-like blue eyes, and delicate facial features beneath her bangs. Her bright smile, coupled with her charismatic charm, was irresistible.

What truly stood out was her regal demeanor in the burgundy school uniform, accentuating her slender waist and long, shapely legs.

Honami Ichinose!

Tian Yuyexue, a devoted novel reader, instantly recognized her as the future leader of Class B. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she also topped the grade in academics. She approached everyone with gentleness and tolerance, held a strong sense of justice, and embodied unwavering character.

In an instant, all the information about Ichinose Honami from the novels he'd read flooded Tian Yuyexue's mind. His greatest advantage didn't lie in his identity, talent, or strength, but rather in his knowledge of the unfolding plot.

With that realization, Tian Yuyexue beamed at Ichinose Honami, who responded with a gracious smile and a slight nod.
