Real teaching, but diary flow

Above all, whether it's outward friendliness or inner malice, everything is merely a self-expression derived from it.

She was born for this purpose.

"..."

However, trust has its limits, and accepting everyone's trust comes at a price.

Heavy pressure piled up on her shoulders, making it hard to breathe. She had no choice but to resort to anonymous messages in the "tree hole" to unabashedly express her true feelings.

Thus, her true colors were revealed.

Under the criticism of everyone in the class, Kikyo Kushida chose to fight back.

When faced with malice from others, there's no reason not to fight back, right?

All she had to do was expose them. She just needed to take advantage of their trust in her and reveal the true nature of everyone they had hidden in their hearts, just like she had.

Then they will attack each other without authorization.

Then her junior high school life will end.

This is not what she wanted.

“I need to start over…” The memories that had been stirred up came to an abrupt halt. Kikyo Kushida took a deep breath, ignoring the cold voice in her ear that announced the completion of her reading, and slammed the diary shut: “I must start over.”

High school is the best time to reshape your life; it's a turning point that erases the past.

So even though the diarist issued a kidnapping declaration, and even though the diarist pointed out her true nature almost by name.

She also has to start over.

And so, with a heavy heart, Kikyo Kushida faced this day.

I changed into the uniform that came with the admission notice and boarded the bus route outlined in the school's informational materials.

Apart from a few passersby, most of the seats were occupied by teenagers wearing the same uniform as her.

“‘It was me who chose vocational school…’” Almost as soon as she boarded the bus, Kikyo Kushida inexplicably recalled the words she had read in her diary yesterday.

The diary was kept by another freshman who, like her, would be enrolling in the Advanced Education Program today.

In other words, there might be someone on the bus right in front of you who knows their own nature and has the potential to ruin the next three years of your high school life.

Who is it?

A blond man who looks troublesome? An ordinary-looking girl sitting in the back row? A brown-haired passerby with no expression? Or perhaps—

Gently raising her hand to grasp the ring, Kikyo Kushida forcefully suppressed her expression and tried her best to restrain her emotions.

This was something she had done countless times, and something she should have long been used to.

Even so, she couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.

"Oh no, this is terrible."

Beneath the mask, his expression twisted, and his already bad mood worsened.

The reason is simple.

She saw someone she absolutely did not want to see.

The woman who attended the same junior high school as her.

'Hori Kita Suzune'.

Although the other party was not in the same class as her, and may not know her past or the incident she caused in junior high school.

But she wouldn't gamble on that possibility.

She, and the person who kept the diary.

These two people were the biggest obstacles to my smooth high school life.

Chapter 5 First of First

Asakusa Tetsu woke up exceptionally early today.

This was certainly not because he was so excited about the new semester that he couldn't sleep; he had long since stopped looking forward to going to school.

Although he was indeed curious about which class he would be assigned to, that wasn't the point.

The key point is time.

After receiving the Infinite Recorder as a reward, a plan formed in his mind.

A plan that he could only execute if he could take out a voice recorder right at the start of the semester.

"Class 1-B, is it unexpected or expected?" Having arrived at Advanced Training Center early, Asakusa Toru raised an eyebrow as he looked at the class listed under his name.

He awakened his innate wisdom quite early in this life, showing remarkable talent from a young age. In the eyes of most people, he was indeed worthy of being called a so-called 'genius'.

After all, being able to support himself without parents while maintaining his studies and even earning a substantial sum by copying light novels, he should be considered a genius in the eyes of others.

The only drawbacks are probably being an orphan and lacking friends.

After all, in order to transform his dwindling advantages over time into tangible strengths, he had almost no free time to waste on socializing.

This world is a hodgepodge of anime and manga, and although most of the works follow similar development trends in terms of time, it is still difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

If the information in his memory is even slightly off, he will be forced to go from leading to falling behind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to plagiarize light novels as his source of funding; he would have already been a powerful figure in the financial market.

Well, although he said he copied light novels, he didn't have the ability to completely replicate the story. He just copied the vivid and interesting ideas from his memory and wrote his own story by trial and error.

However, it was precisely because of this that he realized how vast the gap was between himself and the geniuses in the real stories who seemed to have superhuman abilities.

That's right, I'm talking about a guy who wrote a book that sold over 1400 million copies at the tender age of fourteen.

Getting back to the main point, in the Advanced Education School, students will be divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D, in descending order.

On the surface, it may seem like a routine class assignment, but in reality, it is an evaluation of students by the school based on its own arbitrary considerations.

Class A is roughly equivalent to top-quality cattle and horses; Class B is mediocre cattle and horses; Class C is for muddying the waters; and Class D is for top-grade defective products.

The specific descriptions may differ, but Asakusa Tetsu believes they should be largely the same in essence.

Incidentally, the 100% college admission and employment rate mentioned earlier is a privilege enjoyed only by Class A.

Therefore, it would be perfectly reasonable for Asakusa Tetsu to be assigned to any class other than Class C.

If we ignore his shortcomings in negotiation and only consider his academic abilities, there is no doubt that he would be able to be assigned to Class A.

Just like a person with a serious physical defect who got in through connections, if it were to prove that Sakayanagi Arisu's selection into Class A was not due to favoritism, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be assigned to Class A as well.

Of course, it's only a possibility.

If we take into account the shortcomings in negotiation, there are also examples that can be used as reference models. Ms. Horikita Suzune, who mistook loneliness for arrogance and refused to socialize, is the best example.

In other words, it's not impossible for me to be assigned to Class D.

But in the end, he was assigned to Class B.

"So, you think my flaws aren't so great that I'd be considered a 'defective product'?" Asakusa Tetsu had his answer.

After confirming the class assignments, Asakusa Tetsu did not immediately go to Class B's classroom, nor did he follow the signs to the entrance ceremony venue.

Instead, after obtaining their own personal terminal, they followed the directions and found the classroom of Class C, Year 1.

The empty classroom had only a handful of people. As early as when the school opened, only a few people, like Asakusa Tetsu, entered the school, let alone Class C.

To be precise, there are only two people in Class C at this moment.

One of them was a girl with short blue hair, who looked quite healthy and strong, and sat in her seat with a bored expression.

The other one was a gentle and quiet girl with long silver-gray hair, who seemed to be lost in thought.

If he remembers correctly, the former should be called Ibuki Mio, and the latter should be called Shiina Hiyori.

Without saying a word to remind them of his presence, Asakusa Tetsu walked into the classroom of Class 1-C, quite casually and nonchalantly.

For first-year students, everyone's seat is assigned in advance, so there is no possibility of first-come, first-served, and everyone can easily find their own seat.

Similarly, other people can easily find seats that belong to others.

Long Yuanxiang's location...

Ah, it's up ahead.

It didn't take much effort for Asakusa Tetsu to find his goal.

Long Yuanxiang's seat.

In this school, which prides itself on merit, students compete against each other in their classes for the sole right to secure the school's promised employment rate guarantee.

Therefore, the concept of 'leader' naturally arises.

Obey the leadership of others, accept their instructions, and then aim for the throne of Class A.

Among them, the student who will become the leader of Class C afterward is 'Ryuen Sho'.

If you were to label Toru Asakusa, 'ruthless' would definitely be the top priority, while 'violence' and 'dictatorship' would be secondary.

Although his primary purpose in enrolling in Advanced Education was to be able to write his daily diary more easily and conveniently, and he didn't care at all about the rights of Class A, the thought of getting entangled with this guy during class struggles... made him feel a little disgusted.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, he needed to take the initiative and seize the leverage that could shut down Long Yuanxiang's actions.

Obviously, the best, most suitable, most convenient, and earliest way to obtain leverage is...

Today is the day he will reclaim the entire Class C.

Domination achieved through violence, bound by vested interests, can silence accusations from those involved; the keen sense of smell obscures the cameras, leaving no evidence behind.

But if he foresaw this and left behind a recording pen that shouldn't have been obtained by a first-year student at this time...

What will happen then?

Chapter 6 will come in handy.

Previously, Toru Asakusa had tested the effects of the infinite recording pen on both infinite and segmentation.

But in addition to this, the Infinite Recorder actually has another effect.

It's the voice recorder itself.

The removed voice recorder will not disappear.

Although it will lose its unlimited recording capacity and become a seemingly ordinary voice recorder, the voice recorder itself will not disappear when he takes out a new one.

In other words, even if he dropped out of school on the spot and started a voice recorder company, he could probably become rich by endlessly producing new voice recorders from zero-cost materials.

However, even so, Asakusa Tetsu wasn't planning on doing something as stupid as stuffing a recording pen into Ryuen Sho's drawer and then waiting to retrieve it later to use as leverage.

Although he didn't think that Long Yuanxiang would check the drawers on the first day of school, the task of collecting the voice recorders was still troublesome.

After all, the recording effect of the infinite recorder is only maintained on the most recent one on its body, and the earlier recorders will become separate ordinary recorders.

Therefore, he never intended to reclaim the recording pen from the beginning.

Without even trying to avoid being seen by Ibuki Mio and Shiina Hiyori, they quietly placed the recording pen in Ryuen Sho's spot.

A refreshing breeze blew into the classroom through the open window, ruffling the girl's long, thin hair.

Shiina Hiyori seemed to suddenly come to her senses and subconsciously turned her head to look at Asakusa Tetsu as he walked into the classroom.

"Ah," she uttered, but didn't say anything further, instead turning her gaze away again.

Her delicate, pretty face, devoid of any discernible emotion, made her look more like a moving doll, subtly arousing a desire to tease her.

Hiyori Shiina has no extra social desires.

Even though it was just her and Ibuki Mio in the classroom before, they didn't exchange a single word.

Therefore, even though it seemed that there was another student in the empty classroom, she was not disturbed at all.

Ibuki Mio, who also had social deficiencies and was assigned to Class C, had the same attitude. She only turned her head to look at Asakusa Tetsu, who was approaching Ryuen Sho's seat, attracted by the sound, before looking away and gazing at the increasing number of new students outside the window in the distance with great boredom.

"Eh..." Seeing the two of them like this, Asakusa Tetsu raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise.

Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and stuffed the recorder into Long Yuanxiang's drawer.

Then, he sat down at the table belonging to Ryuen with an air of nonchalance, and gently tapped on the chair in front of him, the one belonging to Shiina Hiyori.

"Good morning." Asakusa Tetsu raised his hand.
