First Semester
Advanced Nurturing High School.
It is located on an artificial island specially funded and built by the Japanese government.
And now, in Class D of Grade 1.
The new students were introducing themselves.
Arriving at a new Class, then introducing oneself and getting to know each other, this is very important.
"May I have everyone's attention? I'm Hirata Yosuke. Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves. I hope we can all quickly get along and become friends."
Like this.
And also like this.
"Next up is me. My name is Kushida Kikyo. My goal is to become friends with everyone here. I want to make many memories, so please feel free to come find me often."
And soon, it would be his turn.
At this moment.
A black-haired boy with short hair sat by the window.
If one were to describe his appearance, he would be considered a conventionally handsome guy.
His dead-fish eyes slightly detracted from his good looks, but he was indeed a person who grew on you.
...
His name was Hikigaya Hachiman.
He originally attended Sobu High School in Chiba, but on the first day of enrollment, he was hit by a car while saving a puppy that ran into the road.
He spent three weeks recovering from his injuries.
This was fatal for a new student, as cliques form within the first week of school, oh no, perhaps even within two or three days.
One could imagine that when he returned to Class, he would probably spend his high school life alone again.
However, something happened.
His life guidance teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, pointed him in a direction.
She recommended Advanced Nurturing High School to him.
The reason for the recommendation was quite simple:
It seemed that a new student at the school had an issue, creating an opening.
So Hiratsuka Shizuka, as an alumna of that school, thought of him.
She gave him this recommendation.
This teacher was truly overly kind.
At the same time, the treatment at this school was excellent.
It boasts a 100% employment and college entry rates.
And most importantly, it was tuition-free and required no living expenses upon enrollment.
Yes, you heard that right, tuition-free and no living expenses.
This was simply unbelievable.
It made one feel full of suspicion, wondering why they would be treated so favorably.
However.
Even though this school, which seemed to offer everything for free, was full of mysteries, his parents still signed the agreement.
Making Hachiman feel like he was probably adopted.
Nevertheless.
His younger sister Komachi was only in her second year of junior high, and in two more years, she would also be taking high school entrance exams.
If she performed poorly, the tuition fees would increase accordingly.
His parents' burden would also increase.
So if he could save on his high school tuition, it would be a good thing.
Hikigaya Hachiman thought to himself.
And besides.
He wouldn't lose out.
When he arrived at Advanced Nurturing High School, it was just when the new students were enrolling.
So, he could also seize this opportunity to integrate into a small group.
There was nothing wrong with being alone, but in collective life, it would become troublesome.
He had many experiences in physical education Class where he couldn't find anyone to team up with and ended up playing tennis or baseball by himself.
Therefore.
If possible, he should seize a small opportunity.
And his sister had also said that if he had the chance, he should change his twisted personality.
That is to say, truly step out and make a friend or something.
And now.
Komachi, just watch.
Making friends is quite easy.
And now is an opportunity.
Thinking this.
Hachiman had already thought of a very inspiring self-introduction.
For example.
["Looking at someone's face, trying to please them, staying in contact, catering to their topics—this is not true friendship. Nor can it be called a friend."]
["A person who rides their bike at 50 kilometers per hour to rush to your side at two in the morning because you called for help—that person is undoubtedly a true friend."]
["Therefore, if there is anyone with such a common goal, please become my friend."]
And then...
It's probably not going to work, right?
Because can such friends truly exist in reality?
Thinking this.
"Horikita Suzune."
The top-tier beautiful girl sitting behind him introduced herself, but it was very brief, just a name.
And this was something Hachiman had been trying to ignore.
Yes.
This Class was very strange.
Although the boys looked very ordinary, and among the boys who had already introduced themselves, except for a person named Hirata Yosuke who had a refined appearance, most of the other boys could almost be described as sloppily dressed.
But the quality of the girls... was surprisingly high.
All the students came to the Class after attending the entrance ceremony at the Gymnasium.
20 boys, 20 girls.
He didn't know if this male-female ratio was just a coincidence.
And among these 20 girls, 10 were very beautiful.
Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, Satō Maya, Kei Karuizawa, Wang Mei-Yu, Matsushita Chiaki, Hasebe Haruka, and so on—
Most of them would be the Class beauty in outside schools.
Yet they were all gathered in this Class.
Plus that advertised 100% employment and university admission rate.
It was indeed very suspicious.
Thinking this, it was already almost his turn for the self-introduction.
"So next up—"
Hachiman held his breath.
And then.
He began to introduce himself.
"I am Hikigaya Hachiman... from Chiba, my favorite is..."
"What are you all doing?"
But at that moment, a tall woman with a black ponytail entered through the front door of the classroom.
She had an excellent figure.
She was wearing a black women's suit, with a white suit underneath, the black and white combination exuding a dignified aura.
She was wearing black stockings, the kind with garters.
Her high heels made a rhythmic 'thump-thump-thump' sound.
Her voice, though slightly deep, was surprisingly magnetic and pleasant.
So if it were an ordinary otaku, they would probably want her to step on them with her high heels right now.
But Hachiman thought she would definitely be eye-catching if she wore a maid outfit with a gap moe.
And this lady interrupted Hachiman's self introduction.
Then she walked to the podium and wrote down her name.
"I am Chabashira Sae, the Teacher of Class D of Grade 1, and this is my phone number, you can save it."
The lady, no, Chabashira Sae introduced herself.
She was the Teacher of the Class.
"The Class will not change its Teacher."
"For the next three years, I will be your Teacher."
Saying this, the Teacher picked up a piece of chalk and wrote down a string of phone numbers.
But.
"Our School has a special system, requiring all students to live in dorms until you graduate…" the Teacher continued.
"Eh…"
However, this news immediately caused a stir in the Class.
Because.
"W-why for three years?!"
"And it's a dormitory system, I didn't bring anything. No change of clothes either."
"What about food, what about food?"
The students appeared restless.
But weren't free tuition and living expenses announced from the beginning?
Hikigaya felt a bit strange.
Why were the students in the Class surprised now?
Did they not read the admission brochure?
Moreover.
Hikigaya didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
Because the conditions provided by the School were too generous, if there were no requirements, then that would truly be problematic.
It's just.
Is a three-year full dormitory system for students enough?
He always felt that this condition did not match the preferential treatment given by the School.
Hikigaya pondered.
However, the aloof Teacher was deaf to the students' words and continued her introduction, exuding an air of not much enthusiasm.
"And when you open your phones, there is a student ID, which records your basic information."
As she said this, the students had no choice but to take out their phones.
Following the rules, they clicked on the student ID.
It displayed their own information.
Hikigaya also looked at his basic interface.
[Name: Hikigaya Hachiman
Class: Class D of Grade 1
Student ID: 108510000
Private point: 100,000]
It was indeed basic information.
There was very little information on it.
And Chabashira held up her phone and said.
"You can check the private point column. The point on it is an extension of the School's high technology. You can understand it as a type of currency. It can be spent like money."
"And one private point is one yen."
"Are you surprised by the huge point? This School measures students by their ability. Being able to enter this School means you have considerable value."
In other words, the School provided living expenses after waiving tuition fees.
It's just that he didn't know if this 100,000 was for three years of living expenses or short-term living expenses.
If it was every month, then things would be serious.
Because the treatment given to the students was too generous. But the School was public, using government money.
And the government would certainly not agree to such a free-money situation.
So… had he really come to an extraordinary place?
Hikigaya pondered.
However, apart from this, he gently raised his head and paid attention to the phone held by Teacher Chabashira.
Her phone was like the students'—it had a white casing and looked like a fruit phone.
But.
What was worth noting was that her account's private point was quite large.
6.022 million.
Can being a Teacher really earn that much?
Hikigaya felt that this School was strange through and through.
…
"So the specific content is this: you can spend the point in your student ID at the School."
"The School is very thoughtful. Your phones have GPS installed, so you can check the School map at any time."
"And to prevent you from getting bored during your Third Year stay, living facilities are also provided. From small ordinary restaurants and milk tea shops to large cinemas and bowling alleys, everything will be available."
"As long as there is a need, you can buy anything using point."
"After all…" Chabashira paused and said,
"This is a School where strength is paramount."
Whether it was an illusion or not, Hikigaya felt that she deliberately emphasized the words [strength is paramount].
(A/N: Strength here doesn't mean physical, it's anything you're good at. It's a metaphor.)
But after this introduction, she looked around at the students in the Class.
And Hikigaya noticed that her gaze also seemed to fall on him, but it only lasted for a second before moving away.
Then she continued.
"Next, I'll arrange for a few students to go to the academic affairs office to collect textbooks. Classes will officially start tomorrow at eight o'clock."
"I will send the timetable to your email later."
"As for the accommodation, you can find the Grade 1 apartments through the map and get your room key from the Floor manager."
"Everyone has a single room."
These were all things a Teacher needed to explain.
And seemingly having finished speaking, the Teacher began to walk out through the front door of the classroom.
It seemed she was not a Teacher who liked to drag things out.
However, as she was about to leave the classroom, she looked back at the students who had become excited upon hearing that everyone had the equivalent of 100,000 yen in living expenses and that the accommodation was single rooms.
A hint of emptiness appeared in her eyes.
Because for her, this year would probably be the same.
She would be disappointed.
Because.
Strength is paramount.
This was the phrase she had deliberately emphasized.
But.
No one among this year's students, among the students of this Class, had noticed.
She could hear the excited voices of the students behind her, thrilled by the School's preferential treatment.
However.
It goes without saying, with both tuition fees waived and living expenses provided, where in the world is there such a delicious free lunch?
Because.
Free is the most expensive.
But no student would think about this problem.
Should it be said that they are indeed Class D?
Class D, which everyone evaluates as... defective.
So this year's long-cherished wish also cannot be fulfilled.
Thinking this.
She walked forward in her high heels.
"Please Wait a moment, Teacher Chabashira!"
But at this moment, someone called out to her from behind, then jogged from the back door to catch up.
"What is it?"
Chabashira stopped and looked at the student who had caught up to her.
She thought there were no omissions in the content she had just explained.
However, she was still so unmotivated today.
So omissions were very likely to occur.
"I want to ask something." The student said. "Will our private accounts still receive 100,000 point next month?"
"Also, Teacher Chabashira, is the 6 million point on your phone what the School gave you this month, or have you been accumulating it yourself? Since private point can be spent as cash in the School, can it be directly exchanged for cash?"
This student had quite a few questions.
But.
Oh?
Just like still water without ripples, suddenly a stone was thrown in, Chabashira Sae began to look over.
She carefully sized up this student who had not belonged to Class D from the very beginning
