Chapter 16: Hirata did it without hesitation, but failed spectacularly.

The next day was the first official day of classes.

Early in the morning, Kanda Shuichi got up from bed with a sleep-deprived face, walked to the desk, and turned off the ringing phone alarm.

Yesterday, because he was too excited after depositing points into the Value Bank, Kanda Shuichi didn't sleep well all night, so he deliberately placed his phone on the desk away from the bed, and also charged it.

Yawning, Kanda Shuichi opened the Value Bank screen.

Deposit amount: 5,963,014 ppt

Remaining deposit time: 13h

Interest rate: 10%/h

Expected earnings: 20,585,941 ppt

In just 11 hours of compound interest, his assets had more than doubled. When he read the introduction book before, he already had a strong sense of it. Now, looking at the exponentially growing points, Kanda Shuichi couldn't help but feel a bit wary.

If this thing could really be used indefinitely, it would cause an economic crisis sooner or later. No wonder it only had a one-day usage limit, which was very reasonable.

After a simple wash, Kanda Shuichi looked at today's class schedule, then took the corresponding textbooks and went to school.

Opening the door, a familiar figure just happened to walk to his room door. The figure at the door subconsciously stopped and saw Kanda Shuichi.

Uh...

After all, they were classmates, so he should greet him.

"Good morning, Ayanokouji."

Kanda Shuichi's greeting made Ayanokouji Kiyotaka pause for a moment, then he quickly responded.

"Good morning, Kanda."

"You're up early, Ayanokouji."

"I can't sleep"

"Really? I also had some trouble sleeping because of the unfamiliar bed..."

Kanda Shuichi locked the door and walked towards the elevator with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Since it wasn't too late, there weren't many students on the way. Kanda Shuichi's slower pace wasn't too strange, at least Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't ask or leave him behind.

The two weren't very familiar with each other, so they didn't have much to talk about. They went to the school cafeteria together and then to the classroom.

Because of Kanda Shuichi's slower pace, they arrived at the classroom later than expected. At least they could see that many people were already seated.

At this moment, several small groups could be seen in the class. On the boys' side, there was a group led by Hirata, and on the girls' side, a group led by Kushida Kikyo.

Besides these, there were other smaller groups, like Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who were showing off their new game consoles and tablets by the back door.

Is it really okay to bring those things to school?

As someone who received strict education in his previous life, Kanda Shuichi thought bringing a phone to school was already against the rules. Now these guys were openly showing off their game consoles in the classroom...

Even now, he still felt a bit envious! Although he used to secretly bring his phone to school too.

After a while, Miyake also arrived just in time.

Coincidentally, Miyake and Kanda's seats were right in front of each other. Kanda was in the second-to-last row, and Miyake was in front of him.

Luckily, after being reborn, his nearsightedness was gone. Otherwise, sitting in the back row would have been uncomfortable.

After a quick complaint in his mind, Kanda greeted Miyake and took out the textbook for the first class. Although there was a morning meeting before the first class, it didn't matter.

Since it was the first morning meeting, Chabashira-sensei didn't say much. After a few polite words, she left the time to the students, but not before glancing at Kanda Shuichi in the back row and Hirata in the front row.

As soon as Chabashira-sensei left, the classroom buzzed with noise, feeling very familiar.

"Everyone, can I say something?"

Hirata seized the moment, stood up, and spoke.

With Hirata's words, the class quickly quieted down. Even though a few people were still talking privately, it was much better than the previous chaos.

This showed how much reputation Hirata had gained in just one day.

"We're all new to this school, so I understand the excitement of making new friends. But even so, I hope everyone can focus on their studies..."

"Anyway, this school has a 100% employment and graduation rate, right? Studying is not important"

Before Hirata could finish, Ike Kanji interrupted.

Kanda still remembered Ike's self-introduction from yesterday: likes beautiful girls, dislikes handsome guys.

As a sunny and cheerful boy Hirata was undoubtedly the type of person Ike disliked. So when Hirata made a suggestion to everyone, Ike immediately jumped in to oppose him.

"Ike, I understand what you mean. But think about it, even if we all get into Tokyo University, if we don't study hard, we might not be able to graduate smoothly."

A realistic example and a reasonable argument, but Ike wasn't buying it.

"We'll deal with the future when it comes. Right now, we should enjoy ourselves since we have money and time!"

Ike Kanji's attitude actually represented the majority of the students in the class. They wanted to enjoy the present without worrying about the future.

Hirata's attempt to encourage studying failed right from the start. Almost no one was willing to listen to him. Those who wanted to study would study hard, and those who didn't, his words wouldn't change their minds.

"But I think we should at least do our duty as students. At least pay attention in class and don't be late or leave early."

"Tch! Are you my mom? Is it your place to worry about this?" This time, it wasn't just Ike Kanji. A guy with red hair and a delinquent look, Sudou Ken, also got annoyed.

He felt that Hirata was hinting at him because he was late today.

"Huh? As students, isn't it normal not to be late or skip class?"

"Yeah, yeah, do you even have any sense of being a student?"

Before Hirata could speak, someone stood up to defend him. This made Kanda Shuichi once again admire Hirata's charisma. In just one day, someone was willing to stand up to Sudou Ken for him. Although some people didn't like Sudou, it still showed Hirata's ability.

Kanda Shuichi knew he couldn't do that.

But at this moment, the class became chaotic because of this. The supporters of Sudou and Hirata started arguing directly.

Besides that, there were also some bystanders watching coldly.
