Chapter 022

After the school ended, I once again called out by the Kirisu sensei. Because of the sole reason that I was 5 minute late to enter her class, after the Lunch break ended. Well, she also was 5 minute late for her class... But she is a teacher, so it didn't matter. Since I am a student and, unfortunately, monitor of the class, I should have entered the class before the teacher comes... Good Grief.

She really is a disciplined woman... huh.

After hearing her lecture for about half an hour, she told me never, 'that' again, to which I replied in my very own way, like saying some sweet lines to her... But it didn't help me gain any affection... Hmmm...

...

It's been four days, since we get to know our results... But still there is no news regarding the 'thing', Chhabashira sensei told me about, I thought that, we will get to know about that the next day or day after that… But there is not a single mention about that, whether it's from students or, even from the teachers…

Now I think about it, I should have asked her the more details but, as soon as she heard the words, she quickly left that place leaving me alone in that room.

This school's system and the system, I got from some 'god', are both troublesome for me. As the former wants me, and my classmates, to give our best in every activity, while the latter wants me to 'conquer' the girls, or 'heroines', from this school… Well, I will try my best to control these both systems and then, I will run these both in the palm of my hands…

As I was lost in my thought, a teacher came inside the class but it's not our Math's teacher, who takes the first period, but our homeroom teacher… Chhabashira Sae…. Are we finally going to get to know the result of our class's position, hmm?

"Good Morning sensei…"

"…"

We all greeted her just like usual, but she didn't reply us back… On the contrary, she pulls out an A4 size paper from her subject book, she always carry with her, and started to inspect it… After few seconds, she sighed lightly and looked towards every student, one by one. When our eyes met, she quickly diverted her gaze and turned her body in the direction of board… I, finally noticed her expression, she is making her usual expression but I saw it… she is frustrated and somewhat looking 'sad'…

Then she picked up the chalk, from the chalk holder, and started writing something on the board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLASS 1-2: 15

CLASS 1-4: 10

CLASS 1-1: 06

CLASS 1-3: 02

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, she wrote all the four first year classes, then their respected points they earned… So, we earned 6 points, huh… And due to that, we are in third position, hmm.

"Sensei, what is this?"

"Very well, Sato… You all listen very carefully because what I am going to tell you guys today is going to change your life exponentially…"

Some Sato girl asked the Chhabashira sensei the question, which is going on minds of every students present in the class… To which, sensei replied but her voice doesn't seem to look normal and her aura also darkened a bit… I think she is angry on us, even for a little bit but she is, mainly I think because there are many good students in her class but still her class earned only six points…? Well, I think I am the main cause of getting less points because I, slept two times in the class, two times late in the class and the 'Blackboard romance…' incident… Who the heck thought of that name, anyway?

As I was lost in the thought, I felt someone is glaring daggers at me… Chhabashira sensei..?

…

"Kaneki-kun, you seem unaffected by this whole 'ranking' thing, huh? On the contrary, you are looking awfully cool about this whole thing…"

"No, I am not that calm, you know… It's just that sensei had already told me about it, on the day when our results released…"

"What?"

Horikita-san, looked surprised at my sudden confession that I know about this system beforehand… Is it that surprising? I thought that this is one of the privileges of being a monitor that you get to know these events before the class…

"Are you saying you know about this system before us?"

"Oh, Yukinoshita-san… Yes, but she just told me about the fact that there will be a system in this school and nothing more…"

"I see…"

"Hmm…"

"Yes, I also didn't know about the ranks also… So, you know, I am just like you, I don't know anything…"

They both stared at me for few seconds and then put their hands, simultaneously, on their chin and started to think about something…? Just as I expected from these two, they have already started to think about what to do, right?

"Well, what do you guys think about all of this?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Yukino-chan… Yukino-chan… How much of 'egoist' are you, huh? Are you still trying to act like a 'lone wolf', even though we have to work as a whole if we want to get top rank in the system…? I think I should 'use' ghosting on her… Hmm?

"Well, just as you wish… 'Ice Queen'."

"Ara, do you wanted to pick a fight with me, huh, you --"

"What about you, Horikita-san?"

"Hmm, I need some time… But again, why should I tell you?"

These girls. They might be considered one of 'great minds' in this class, if they don't have this type of personality... One has twisted personality that she thinks that everyone is below, except her… While other one is also just like her, well not that much, I think, but since she is a 'tsundere' also, it's just make her equal to Yuknoshita-san…

"I see… Well, it's okay if you don't want to tell me…"

"Hmph"

"…"

Just as I said something in reply, I got the respective response I can get from both of them… Horikita-san acted like a typical tsundere by making an 'hmph' sound and turned her head to other direction, while Yukinoshita-san just stared at me for few seconds, and as usual started reading her book… What is with this book? Is it that much interesting book for her…?

...

Lunch Break

I am surprised that not a single heroine of mine, the ones who are in the same class and has already unlocked by the system, knows anything about how we get to gain these 'class' points. Well, I also don't know anything regarding it but still, they have at least one or two acquaintances, right? Hmm…

"Ara, kouhai-kun, what with that serious face you are showing us?"

"Hmm?"

"Well, Hanajima. It seems that he has some problems, huh. Come on, spit it out, maybe we can help with it."

"Oh, are my two 'cute' senpais worrying about me?"

I said while forming a small grin on my face, to show that I am just playing around…

[ARISA UOTANI: + 4 AFFECTION POINTS]

[SAKI HANAJIMA: +3 AFFECTION POINTS]

"Kouhai-kun, you have to stop pulling strings of Uotani… Or she will definitely give you a beating right here, right now…"

"W-what are you saying Hanajima? But yeah, she is right. Kouhai, you need to behave properly around us, your seniors --"

"Well, don't worry. I will act like this, only in front of you senpais…"

I said, and put a small smile, only to ensure them that what I just said is true…

[SAKI HANAJIMA: +10 AFFECTION POINTS]

[ARISA UOTANI: +10 AFFECTION POINTS]

Oh great, I knew it that my words will definitely work on them...

When the lunch break approached, I decided that I will definitely ask, from the Hanajima senpai and Uotani senpai, about the system, but then many questions came across my mind…

Like, what if they don't tell me about it, when I ask? What if seniors don't know anything about this system? And so what if it only starts from out batch of students, or from this year? And more importantly, what if they have been told, beforehand, that they can't tell any juniors about it?

As these questions came across through my mind, I decided let's not ask about it… I am eating lunch with these guys for about more than 2 or 3 weeks, but they didn't talk about anything related to the 'system'… And here I thought I have gained plenty of affection from them… As this system will have an impact on our future, whether it's bright or dark, this is what Chhabashira sensei told me. So they should have told me about it, but…

[USER… JUST ASK THEM…]

You... Well, for these reasons I have been trying to gain affection from them… And I think that I have gained plenty of points, today…

[SAKI HANAJIMA [WAVE GIRL]

[ARISA UOTANI [LONER DELINQUIENT]

Let's start with questions…
