"Greetings, my name is Himegami Chihaya." Chihaya responded with a smile.

"I'm Hayasaka Ai~ Just call me Ai." Hayasaka Ai playfully introduced herself with a peace sign to one side.

"I noticed you guys as soon as you entered the classroom, and I was even hoping that we could sit together~" Ichinose Honami said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to actually happen."

“Ichinose-san is a beauty too,” Hayasaka Ai replied. “Oh my god, the boys must be ecstatic.”

"Girls are happy too! Even girls like pretty young ladies—hello, my name is Xiaoqiao Meng."

The person speaking was Ichinose Honami, who sat at the table to her right.

"Hello, Xiaoqiao."

"Ah, I was just about to ask, aren't Hime-miya and Hayasaka-san mixed-race?" Kohashi Yume asked.

“That’s right, and Chihaya is a young lady who graduated from Seio University!” Hayasaka Ai winked at her newly acquainted companion, looking quite playful. “You can tell from her demeanor and words, right? Best regards.”

Finally, Hayasaka Ai deliberately changed her voice and imitated Chihaya's "Gui An".

"Xiao Ai..."

"Sorry, sorry, but you'll tell everyone anyway when you introduce yourself, right?"

"Is Saint Ying that prestigious school?!"

"Wow! So Princess Consort is a young lady from Sei-Ying!"

"Elegant! So elegant!"

Surrounded by his classmates, Chihaya was initially at a loss, but he was quickly rescued.

"Alright, everyone, please return to your seats. I have something important to say!"

A sweet-looking teacher stood on the podium with a smile, then picked up the chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"This is my name, Hoshinomiya Chie. Since we won't be reassigned to different classes for the next three years at Yusei High School, I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next three years!"

In every sense, this opening is the kind of thing that students would like.

"The entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in an hour. Before that, I will send you information about the school's special rules. Although it was already distributed before enrollment, I still hope you will read it carefully."

Chihaya flipped through the documents she had received, and they weren't significantly different from what she had read before.

Unlike many high schools in China, this school is unique in that all students are obligated to live in on-campus dormitories. Furthermore, during the academic year, all external contact is prohibited except in exceptional circumstances.

Even if the person is a family member, contact is not allowed without the school's permission.

Of course, leaving school grounds without permission is strictly prohibited.

On the other hand, to prevent students from having too much hardship, the school also has many facilities on campus, such as karaoke, a cinema, cafes, and clothing stores, forming a small commercial district. Located in the heart of the metropolis, this school reportedly covers an area of ​​over 600,000 square meters.

Moreover, the school has another unique feature: the implementation of the S system.

"With the student ID you're currently receiving, you can use all the facilities on campus and buy things in shops and other places. It's similar to a credit card, but since it consumes points, you need to be careful when using it. There's nothing on campus that can't be bought with points. You can buy anything you own within the school grounds, no matter what."

"Really, teacher? Then I want to buy a soccer ball signed by Tsubasa Ozora!" a boy said.

The class erupted in laughter, even the girls couldn't help but chuckle at the absurd remark.

"It's a real shame that the school's current capabilities aren't enough to break down the dimensional barrier. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Shibata-kun," Hoshinomiya-sensei replied with ease. "However, if you want a signed soccer ball from Keisuke Honda, you might be able to buy one."

"Huh, Hoshinomiya-sensei actually knows about soccer?" The boy named Shibata was slightly surprised.

"I don't know, but I'm also in charge of the infirmary, so I've heard the name from the soccer club students—oh dear, I've gone off-topic. Let me continue." Hoshinomiya-sensei paused for a moment before continuing, "The points will be automatically credited on the first of each month. Everyone should have been fairly allocated 100,000 points by now, which means everyone has the equivalent of 100,000 points!"

One hundred thousand points? Chihaya remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she quickly calculated the total number of points for the entire grade.

If the number of students in all three grades is the same, the school would need to distribute nearly 50 million points to students each month, which would amount to 600 million yuan in expenditures per year.

Training students at this rate would be far too costly, especially considering it's only high school and not university.

For high school students who have little financial literacy, it's highly likely they'll become the type to spend money recklessly. According to Ms. Hoshinomiya, if you could really buy anything, 100,000 yen wouldn't be such an outrageous amount, and it would be easy to spend it all.

"The entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in an hour. Does anyone have any questions for the rest of the time?"

Hoshinomiya-sensei made it look like she was about to finish and leave, but Ichinose Honami raised her hand.

"Ichinose-san, is there a problem?"

3. Xiao Ai, you're my second favorite type of girl!

"Ichinose-san, is there a problem?"

"Teacher, I hope to take this opportunity to get to know everyone better, so that I can understand you all more deeply, right?"

“That makes sense, I agree.” Hoshinomiya-sensei nodded. “Then let’s ask Ichinose-san to host this.”

"Okay, in that case, may I start?" Honami Ichinose then began her self-introduction, "Hello everyone, I'm Honami Ichinose. I'm very happy to be in the same class as you all, and I look forward to working with you all from now on~"

It was a very brief introduction, but it felt especially approachable because of Honami Ichinose's cheerful tone.

More importantly, Ichinose Honami is indeed a high-quality beautiful girl, and the kind that is approachable.

Next, under Ichinose Honami's organization, the students of Class B introduced themselves one by one according to their student ID numbers.

Soon it was Chihaya's turn.

"Greetings, everyone. My name is Chihaya Himegami. I have some knowledge of the piano, as well as flower arranging and tea ceremony. I hope we can get along well in the days to come."

Before Chihaya could even sit down, thunderous applause erupted, especially from some of the boys, whose admiration was completely undisguised.

"Life's going to be tough now," Chihaya said with a smile on her face but inwardly cursing after sitting down.

It's all Mom's fault for insisting on dressing as a woman! Chihaya was extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only continue playing the role of this "elegant young lady".

Hayasaka Ai smiled at Chihaya, as if kicking her while she was down—this was also part of the plan. As a nominal friend, Hayasaka Ai needed to act like best friends were just joking around.

For example, the smile Hayasaka Ai gave Chihaya didn't seem to be hiding anything. Since the two entered the class together, many people naturally assumed that Hayasaka Ai's mischievous smile was teasing Chihaya.

Soon all forty people had finished introducing themselves, and it was almost time to head to the entrance ceremony.

"Hime-kun and Hayasaka-kun, would you like to go for a walk together after the entrance ceremony?" Ichinose Honami extended an invitation. "It would be a good opportunity to get to know the school."

“Okay, okay! Is there no problem, Chihaya?” Hayasaka Ai immediately agreed.

“No problem.” Chihaya nodded slightly. “We were originally planning to go shopping and buy some daily necessities.”

"Shall we go to the entrance ceremony first?" Honami Ichinose seemed very happy. "I wonder if there will be any club introductions—has anyone thought about joining any clubs?"

"I haven't decided yet, but Chihaya will probably join the tea ceremony club, right?" Hayasaka Ai blurted out the answer for Chihaya, "We also need to see if there's a flower arrangement club, and the tea ceremony club too."

"Xiao Ai, just answer yourself, you don't need to answer for me."

"Hehe~ I just have a quick tongue!"

“But it’s true, given the number of students in our school, apart from the very mainstream clubs, we might not even have clubs like tea ceremony or flower arrangement,” Honami Ichinose said. “And there’s no national tournament.”

"If the school says it's for talent development, then clubs will probably encourage joining clubs that have major competitions, right?"

“I’m fine with anything,” Chihaya said with a smile. “Joining the same club with friends to experience new things is a great thing.”

“Then let’s join the women’s volleyball team together,” Hayasaka Ai joked.

"Little Ai knows I'm not good at sports, right?"

"Hahaha, just kidding. Chihaya could actually consider joining the student council or something. Everyone would definitely be willing to listen to your arrangements."

"This makes absolutely no sense, does it?"

“No, no, no, if it were Sei-o’s older sister, she would definitely be able to handle the student council work with ease, right?” Hayasaka Ai said.

"Sei-ei's older sister... is that...?" Ichinose Honami expressed her confusion at the sudden appearance of the proper noun. "It sounds like someone of high moral standing and great prestige."

"This is a traditional voting activity in Seio. It's probably as Ichinose-san understands it: all the students vote from the upperclassmen to elect an Elder, who is also called the older sister. And I don't need to explain who will be chosen, right?"

"In other words, it's the glorious title of setting an example in every aspect." Ichinose Honami nodded in understanding. "So, is Princess Himegami the 'Onee-sama' of Seio?"

"Ah, no, I'm still a long way from becoming an older sister!" Chihaya retorted immediately, her tone unusually firm.

How can a man become an older sister?!

"Huh? But I feel like Chihaya is only a little bit away from becoming an older sister!"

Gender aside, she is absolutely the most suitable candidate.

Kohashi Yume and Ichinose Honami, standing to the side, naturally didn't get the unspoken meaning behind the two's words. They simply took it as Chihaya being humble and thought to themselves, "Elegant! So elegant! Even her humility is so elegant."

"But does Princess-san intend to join the student council?" Honami Ichinose asked casually after Hayasaka Ai and Chihaya finished their conversation.

“No, I don’t think I can take on such a heavy responsibility yet.” Chihaya smiled slightly. “Actually, I have never had this kind of management experience, so it’s better to make sure I don’t cause trouble for everyone first.”

"You see, Chihaya has always been like this, so does Ichinose-san intend to join the student council?" Hayasaka Ai threw the question back to Ichinose Honami.

"That's definitely what I'm thinking," Honami Ichinose replied readily. "I was in the student council back in middle school, so I want to join it again now that I'm here."

"I see, no wonder Ichinose-san looks so capable." Kohashi Yume also had an "I understand" look on her face.

"Haha, no, just kidding! Praising me like that will make me arrogant!" Ichinose Honami joked. "I'm the kind of person who gets easily swayed!"

"It's okay, Ichinose-san is cute even when she's puffed up~" Hayasaka Ai gave a thumbs up, "Ai, you're my second favorite type of girl~"

"It seems that Princess Hiyomi's favorite seat must be the first one?"

"Yes, Chihaya's place in my heart is unshakeable!"

As the girls talked, they arrived at the venue.

Although it was a strict school, the entrance ceremony was no different from that of any other school. After listening to the admonitions given by a person of high status, the ceremony concluded smoothly.

Because they had already agreed to explore the entire school together before attending the entrance ceremony, Chihaya, Ichinose Honami, and the others reunited.

Of course, the so-called "entire school" does not refer to the teaching buildings, but rather to a broad range of living and entertainment facilities, including shopping malls, supermarkets, and so on.

Most students chose to return to their dormitories, as it is where they will sleep for the next three years and is therefore very important.

"Shall we browse around a bit and buy some daily necessities?" Honami Ichinose suggested, "and then check out the food at the cafeteria."

This is a very reasonable suggestion, after all, even girls care a lot about food. But since they are girls, shopping is an inevitable part of their lives – whether it's daily necessities or non-necessities, girls can linger and enjoy shopping.

This feeling is the same as that of a player constantly exploring new areas in an open-world game.

“That’s true, at least that kind of thing needs to be prepared in advance, right?” Hayasaka Ai laughed after saying that. “Then we need to see if we have any of our usual brands of toiletries.”
