Haah~

Looks like this is my destination.

As I got off the bus, I saw a gate formed from natural rock waiting just

ahead. All the young boys and girls dressed in school uniforms were passing

through this gate.

The Japanese government had created the Tokyo Metropolitan

Advanced Nurturing High School with the express purpose of developing

future leaders. This would be my school from now on.

Hmm now that I think about it where is the protagonist oh speaking of the devil.

As I think of that I see the protagonist interact with Horikita looks like the plot is still there, Good.

Alright, time to go.

I disliked the entrance ceremony and imagined that many first-year

students probably felt the same. The principal and the students exchanged

excessive words of gratitude, there was far too much time spent standing in

lines, and, with so many irritating things to deal with, it all felt like a huge

pain in the butt. But those weren't my only complaints. The entrance

ceremonies for elementary school, junior high, and high school all mean the

same thing: the start of another major trial for children. In order for students

to enjoy their time at school, they must make friends, and there are only a few

key days after the entrance ceremony to properly do that. Failure to do so

signals the beginning of a rather tragic three years.

While the entrance ceremony is happening I tried to assess the system and here is what I got. First, the system is not sentient. Second, It is a Beyonder system in Lord of The Mysteries. Third, It can make me go to another world called Fantasia and it can make the other world time stop. Lastly, I have a beginner package and a status panel oh right my beginner package is really good.

[ You can freely pick one Sequence 9 Potion of All Pathways ]

[ You can freely pick one of the 9 Sefirot ]

After a huge amount of time thinking. I finally pick the Seer Potion and of course the Sefirah Castle.

Reasons? well, it's because I know the acting method of it and the Fool pathway doesn't really harm people though it may scare them. As for Sefirah Castle I don't think I need to explain it to you.

Anyway, system can you please show my status.

[ Host: Oreki Houtarou

Title: Transmigrator, The Blessed of The Sefirah Castle

Pathway: None

Condition: Healthy

Sefirot: Sefirah Castle ]

As for drinking the potion maybe later.

Now that I think about it how should I interact with my classmate? Should I act like a Seer, no I should act like a Seer why did I even think about it when it's so obvious, I mean it's the only way to fasten my progress in fully digesting the potion.

Oh looks like I arrived oh did I tell you that I'm in Class D.

Looking around the classroom, I walk toward the seat that has my name on it. It was at the back of the room near the window a good place to seat generally. Oh, the protagonist is in my back while for him I'm in the front. As I looked around, I saw that the room was already halfway filled with students. The others were either immersed in their class materials

or already talking with other people.

Looks like the protagonist is having an internal dilemma I think it's because of friend.

Should I talk to him? Nah maybe later.

After a few minutes, the first bell rang. At

that precise moment, a woman entered the classroom. When I first saw her,

my initial impression was that she firmly believed in discipline. If I had to

guess, I would have placed her age at thirty. She wore a suit and had delicate

features. Her hair seemed long, and she'd tied it into a ponytail.

"Ahem. Good morning to you, students. I'm the instructor for Class D.

My name is Chiyabashira Sae. I usually teach Japanese history. However, at

this school, we do not change classrooms for each grade. For the next three

years, I will be acting as your homeroom teacher, so I hope to get to know all

of you. It's a pleasure to meet you. The entrance ceremony will be in the

gymnasium one hour from now, but first, I will distribute written materials

with information about this school's special rules. I will also hand out the

admissions guide."

The students in the front seats passed back the familiar documents I'd

received after being accepted.

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."

Our 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 erupted. But I who knows the truth are already thinking of countermeasures for me to live a good life in this school while minimizing the loss of points.

"Shocked by the amount 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, Chiyabashira-sensei

looked over the room.

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

time here as students."

As the protagonist and Horikita talk about how this school is extremely lenient and having too much preferential treatment. I intervene by saying.

"Do you two wanna know my explanation as to why the school is doing this and ah my name is Oreki Houtarou pardon me for my rudeness." I said as I see Horikita raising her eyebrow while having an annoyed look. Well, my fault I mean having someone intervene with your talk is pretty annoying and rude.

"Oh it's alright and ah my name is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Houtarou-kun what is your explanation for it?" said Ayanokoji while having a curious face.

"I'm Horikita Suzune." said Horikita while not showing her interest.

"Well I think it's a trap for us to lose points for now at least that is my opinion anyway it's still our first day of school so I can't really deduce much." I said while holding my chin.

As they ponder about my answer.

"Everyone, can you please listen to me for a moment?"

A student with the air of an upstanding young man quickly raised his

hand. His hair wasn't dyed. He looked like an honors student. Based on his

appearance, I got the impression he wasn't a delinquent.

"Starting today, we're all going to be classmates. Therefore, I think it'd

be good for us to introduce ourselves and become friends as soon as possible.

We still have some time until the entrance ceremony. What do you say?"

As the majority of students were lost in thought, unable to speak up.

"Agreed! After all, we still don't know a thing about each other, not

even our names," someone shouted.

After the ice had broken, the previously hesitant students began to

speak.

"My name's Hirata Yousuke. Back in junior high, lots of people called

me Yousuke. Feel free to use my first name! I guess my hobby is sports in

general, but I especially like soccer. I'm planning on playing soccer here, too.

Nice to meet you!"

As others introduced themselves others also started to leave the room. One particular student who has fiery red hair that looked like a delinquent even complain about how childish this is while leaving of course because of that other student also followed suit and left the classroom together.

"They're not a bad bunch. It's my fault. I was being selfish and made

people do this."

"No way. You didn't do anything wrong, Hirata-kun. Let's just leave

those guys are, okay?"

Although some people had rebelled at the idea of introductions, the

students who remained were happy to continue. In the end, things wrapped

up in a rather ordinary fashion.

"Well then, time for the next person. Can you please introduce yourself?"

Oh looks like it's my turn. I haven't even thought of my introduction. Hah, as long as I look like a seer It's good I think.
