Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

Kikyo Kushida leaned forward, moving slightly closer to Kusuo Saiki.

'That's barely acceptable.'

On the surface, Kusuo Saiki showed no reaction, but in his heart, he had already made his answer.

"How did you sleep last night? I was so excited about the first day that I couldn't sleep at all! I tossed and turned in bed! I never imagined I'd be able to attend a school like this! Maybe it's because I'm not used to sleeping in this kind of bed, haha!"

Sorry, I slept very well last night. After all, I slept at home, just like usual.

"Although yesterday was the first day of school, today should be the first day of formal classes! Judging from the timetable on the terminal, it seems like we have a physical education class today!"

'Physical education class?!'

At this moment, Kusuo Saiki's brows furrowed slightly.

Although the terminal contained the entire semester's worth of courses for the class, Kusuo Saiki didn't look at them—for him, the courses didn't matter, because he had already mastered all the knowledge of high school students.

Kusuo Saiki, who possesses superpowers, also has a very high IQ. For him, even without using his superpowers, getting a perfect score on the entrance exam would be a piece of cake.

Kusuo Saiki knew that if he got too high a score, it would easily attract the attention of others, which would not be a good thing for him. However, the same would be true if he got too low a score. Therefore, during the exam, Kusuo Saiki would use his telepathic or clairvoyant abilities to control his score and make sure that his score was in the middle as much as possible, so that he could appear as ordinary as possible.

For Kusuo Saiki, physical education class was the most troublesome subject.

While he could use his superpowers to control his score on the written exam, Kusuo Saiki was at a loss as to how to handle the sports-related questions.

He possesses physical strength beyond what ordinary people can imagine; even while wearing a limiter, he can still easily throw a baseball out of the atmosphere.

'A PE class on the first day of school...that's such a hassle.'

Kusuo Saiki knew that he was about to face his first major challenge at this school.

......

Soon, Kusuo Saiki and Kikyo Kushida arrived at the classroom. The first class was math, and the second class was physical education.

During the class, Kusuo Saiki's gaze swept over the others. Although it was the first day of formal classes, quite a few people were already half-hearted.

This course is so boring.

[I want get out of class to end early! I'll go buy a game console after school today! I saw one at the supermarket yesterday, it only costs 30,000 points!]

I'm so sleepy... I didn't sleep at all last night... The teacher doesn't seem to care much, I should rest for a bit.

At first, the two seemed a little distracted, but soon the number of people gradually increased.

Kusuo Saiki could clearly hear their innermost thoughts.

Today was only the first class, and the students in the class were already showing signs of laziness. I'm afraid more and more students will join this group in the future.

'They thought the teachers didn't care, but there are cameras in the classroom, and their every move is being monitored by the school.'

Kusuo Saiki narrowed his eyes slightly and, with a little use of his superpowers, located the surveillance camera.

It's 360 degrees, meaning there are practically no blind spots in the classroom.

Chapter Seven: Socially Hating People Seeking Comfort in Groups

[They really are just a bunch of defective products from Class D. It's only the first day, and quite a few of them are already not paying attention in class.]

You guys just keep enjoying yourselves!

In a month, you'll see what true hell is all about.

Kusuo Saiki looked up at Sae Chabashira, who was giving a lecture on the podium. Although she seemed to be indifferent to everything, she could actually see every single person's actions in the classroom.

Chabashira Sae doesn't intend to tell her students about school rules, letting them drift away on their own.

Each class starts with 1000 points, and each month students receive 100 points equal to the class's initial points.

Being late, using your phone in class, sleeping... these things will be recorded and points will be deducted.

'It seems they've already lost a few points.'

Kusuo Saiki was aware of the school's rules, and although he was indeed very interested in the school's desserts, he would not use his superpowers to interfere too much with the activities of other students in the class.

Even so, Kusuo Saiki would not stand idly by and watch himself lose all his points because of being implicated by others.

As the bell rang, Chabashira Sae quickly left the classroom, seemingly unwilling to stay there for even a second longer.

"Next class is PE! I'm really curious about what PE is like at this school."

"The timetable says our first PE class is swimming!"

"I wonder what the school's swimming pool is like! I'm so curious! Also, do the school provide swimsuits for us?"

People were talking excitedly, filled with curiosity and anticipation for the physical education class.

Swimming lessons are much better than other sports.

Kusuo Saiki breathed a sigh of relief; the swimming lesson was acceptable.

In sports like baseball, if you don't control the force of your throw properly, that would be terrible.

If I go to the locker room alone, will it make me seem unpopular? Maybe I should find someone who seems to be in the same boat as me.

Just as Saiki Kusuo was about to go to the locker room, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

Kusuo Saiki quickened his pace and headed towards the classroom door, trying to avoid being chosen as a target.

However, he had only taken one step when a slightly lazy, familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"Qi Mu, shall we go to the locker room together?"

The owner of the voice was none other than Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

[Kusuo Saiki didn't seem to interact much with those around him, and he didn't speak much in the group chat either, suggesting he wasn't the type who enjoyed social interaction.]

Yesterday he went to Horikita and mentioned Kushida. It was clearly not his own idea, but rather a request he accepted from Kushida. It must be admitted that Kushida is quite capable in this area.

Although I don't want too much attention, if I don't maintain a minimum level of social interaction, I'll probably be seen as a weirdo.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's inner thoughts were incredibly noisy; Kusuo Saiki had never met anyone with so many inner monologues.

However, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's idea is not wrong. If you don't maintain a minimum level of interpersonal interaction, you might actually become more 'obvious' and it would be troublesome if others saw you as a weirdo.

It just so happens that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's personality is quite similar to his own, and the other party also seems to be hiding some secret, trying to minimize his presence in the class, which coincides with his own.

Kusuo Saiki's gaze fell on Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, and his X-ray vision ability automatically took effect, allowing him to clearly see the muscle fibers on the other's body.

'His body has clearly undergone a very long period of training. For a high school student, such physical condition seems a bit exaggerated. It's probably related to the white room he mentioned earlier.'

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji wanted to hide himself, but he never expected that Kusuo Saiki would know almost everything about him the moment he saw him.

With Saiki Kusuo's abilities, he could have easily continued to dig deeper into the matter of the White House, but he wasn't interested.

Perhaps Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is a little more special than others, but in the end he is only on the level of an ordinary person. On the contrary, his seemingly indifferent personality is more in line with my own.

"it is good."

Kusuo Saiki nodded, then followed Kiyotaka Ayanokouji to the changing room, changed into his swimsuit, and then headed to the swimming pool where the physical education class was held.

It was a very spacious area, with a huge swimming pool that could easily accommodate a hundred people. The water in the pool was also very clear, and the blue tiles at the bottom of the pool made the whole pool look like the azure sea. There were also professional lifeguards on standby.

For this school, the students are a very valuable resource.

"Qi Mu!"

Just then, a light voice came from the side, and one could tell who it was just by listening: Kikyo Kushida.

At this moment, Kikyo Kushida was wearing the same one-piece swimsuit as the other girls, but her slender figure was clearly visible. If she had a perfect 'S' shape, she could easily capture the attention of the opposite sex.

Kusuo Saiki turned his head slightly to avoid letting his gaze linger on Kikyo Kushida for too long, otherwise his X-ray vision would continue to spread.

"Did you two come together?"

On the other side, Horikita Suzune leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, her gaze sweeping over Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Saiki Kusuo.

While Horikita Suzune may not be as curvaceous as Kushida Kikyo in terms of upper body curves, she still possesses a stunning figure, with her fair and slender legs looking remarkably straight under her swimsuit.

"After all, there aren't many people like us who aren't good at interpersonal communication."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said slowly.

Kusuo Saiki turned his head slightly to look at the other side. Although the PE teacher had not yet arrived, many students had already eagerly jumped into the pool.

Just then, Kusuo Saiki caught a somewhat familiar voice.

Is this what Class D was like a few years ago?

The sound was coming from another layer of the wall in the pool room.

'If I remember correctly, the person speaking was named Horikita Manabu.'

Kusuo Saiki recognized the voice; it was the same person who had given a speech as a student representative at their entrance ceremony.

Chapter 8: Kikyo Kushida, your little tricks won't work on me.

This year's Class D still looks utterly useless.

[Rin was assigned to Class D, and as before, she showed no improvement.]

This is truly disappointing.

'Horikitaki Manabu, is that the person who gave the speech at the entrance ceremony, and also the student council president?'

'He seems to be Horikita Suzune's older brother, and it seems like Horikita's entry into this school is all about proving herself to him.'

'But what are they doing here?'

Kusuo Saiki focused his gaze on the wall, and his X-ray vision allowed him to gradually see the scene on the other side of the wall.

A bespectacled boy with a stern face was leaning against the wall, observing the D class students on the other side of the swimming pool through a barely noticeable one-way glass. He was Horikita Manabu.

Beside him was a girl with a cute face and a bun hairstyle. Saiki Kusuo had never seen her before, but using his telepathic abilities, he knew that she was the student council secretary and a member of Class 3-A, just like Horikita Manabu.

[It seems that Class D in first grade has already had a few points deducted today, which doesn't look good.]

Does the student council also participate in the point evaluation?

Kusuo Saiki roughly guessed their purpose here: the student council would assist the school in evaluating lower-grade classes, and the student council also had the right to change school rules.

"Qi Mu, want to go swimming together? The PE teacher just said we have free time this period!"

Just then, Kikyo Kushida walked quickly to Kusuo Saiki's side and asked with a smile.
