Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

"No, since it's a long story, there's no need to go into it. I need to go to the supermarket to buy some things later."

After rejecting Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's desire to confide in him, Tatsuya Kamio walked into the supermarket behind him.

The supermarket had a more complete selection than Tatsuya Kamio had imagined, including everyday toiletries like toothpaste, toothbrushes, and shampoo.

Tatsuya Kamio even saw some products that were made in China, and the prices didn't seem to be very expensive.

However, after browsing around, Tatsuya Kamio chose to select the items he needed from the shopping cart that was placed to the side and marked "Free".

As for the idea that cheap goods are of poor quality or have quality issues, he wasn't worried.

Since these things are openly displayed in supermarkets, at least there's no need to worry about their quality; at most, they just might not work well.

After all, it's a school that has invested a lot of money. If a product that is harmful to the human body were to appear, the first to panic would not be the user, but the school.

He's used to use shampoo that only costs a few dollars a bottle in his past life, so what's the rush?

After selecting the necessary items, Tatsuya Kamio paid and left the supermarket.

The supermarket clerks were used to Kamio Tatsuya selecting a large number of free items, which made Kamio Tatsuya even more convinced that his previous guess was correct.

This school has a large number of students who don't have enough points, so the free meals and daily necessities are provided for them.

This is not a relief for students who have wasted too many points, but rather a show of pity for students who have run out of points.

Thinking about it this way, my previous guesses make even more sense.

When I left the supermarket, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji was gone. I checked the time; it was already 1 p.m.

Kamio Tatsuya planned to go back to his dorm to rest in the afternoon and tell Nagumo or Asahina his conclusions to verify whether his guess was correct.

However, Tatsuya Kamio went back to his dorm and fell asleep on his bed. When he woke up, it was almost dinnertime.

[Nagamo-senpai, I think I've noticed something's off about this school.]

Not long after the message was sent, Kamio Tatsu received a reply.

Oh? So fast? I thought you'd need more than three days.

Three days? You think so highly of me?

Kamio Tatsuya pursed his lips. In fact, if he hadn't been lucky enough to get information out of the third-year students, he might not have been able to discover the truth about this school within three days.

But that's not necessarily true.

It was just luck.

Not long after the message was sent out, my phone rang. It was Nan Yun calling.

"Hey, Senior Nagumo."

"Qi is very interested in your decryption process. Anyway, you should be free now, so come to the third floor of the school cafeteria."

Nagumo's tone was unquestionable; he didn't even ask Kamio Tatsuya's opinion before telling him to go directly to the third floor of the school cafeteria.

Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat speechless at this.

Who does this guy think he is?

However, he didn't refuse. After all, the other person was the one who issued the task, and he also needed to eat in the cafeteria. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to give that guy the impression that he was easy to talk to.

"Okay, I understand. I'm in my dorm now, I'll be there soon."

On the other side, Nan Yunya put down her phone and looked at Asahina.

"You heard everything."

"I heard that, but has he really discovered the true nature of this school?"

"Who knows? We'll find out when he gets here."

Unlike Asahina Nazuna's suspicions, Nagumo Masaru didn't care at all, because he didn't care whether Kamio Tatsuya had the essence of a school or not.

After all, he was just a new student.

A dozen minutes later, Kamio Tatsuya met Nagumo Masaru and Asahina Nazuna in a private room on the third floor of the cafeteria.

"Kamio-kun, have you really discovered the true nature of this school? If you're lying, I'll be angry."

Asahina Nazuna said with a smile.

This made Tatsuya Kamio feel a little uncomfortable. What's with this "older sister" thing? Are you even older than me mentally? Besides, I'm 1.67 meters tall, the standard height in Japan. What nonsense are you talking about?!

"I can only say that I have discovered some things, but whether they are correct or not is up to Asahina-senpai to judge."

Kamio Tatsuya said with a helpless expression.

"Okay, go ahead and tell me. If your conclusion is correct, I'll treat you to a sumptuous dinner."

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Let's start by talking about the reasons why most students apply to this school. A 100% college admission rate and employment rate shouldn't be something we're talking about for all students, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nagumo Masaru and Asahina exchanged a glance, then said, "Continue."

"Although I haven't figured out how many people can enjoy this privilege yet, at least Class D cannot enjoy this privilege, or rather, the students in Class D are not worthy of this privilege."

Furthermore, based on my investigation, I speculate that only Class A can enjoy this privilege. And since only Class A can enjoy this privilege, then the other four classes in the same grade must not be friends, right? — Nangumo, former Class B senior.

Nan Yunya laughed: "I didn't expect you to even know this information. It seems I underestimated you."

He then admitted it.

"Your guess is correct. Only Class A in this school can enjoy the right to freely advance to higher grades and find employment. That's why I led Class B to defeat Class A in our year and complete the promotion."

[Task completed, reward: +1 system space access attempt]

Chapter 10: Should we accumulate rewards?

Upon noticing the notification that the mission was complete, Tatsuya Kamio almost couldn't suppress a smile, but now was not the time to claim the reward.

"Since you've seen through the true nature of the school, completed the task I gave you, and in a very short time, I'll give you a reward."

Nagumo was very satisfied with Tatsuya Kamio's analytical abilities. As the vice president of the student council, he needed to develop his own power base.

He had a high opinion of Tatsuya Kamio's abilities and attitude.

"award?"

Kamio Tatsuya asked curiously, "Is there any other unexpected reward after completing the mission?"

"You've already seen through the essence of the need for competition between classes, so you must be curious about the methods of competition, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio nodded.

Generally speaking, competition between students or classes is based on grades, but this school is quite special, so it should be different.

"Please teach me, Senior Nagumo."

"It's very simple. Since it's a competition between classes, the way to compete is naturally through exams."

"take an exam?"

Kamio Tatsuya looked on with suspicion. "Is it really that simple?"

So in the end, results still matter?

"Exams don't necessarily have to be written tests. Take your first exam after you enroll, for example..."

"Ya! Can I really say this?"

Just as Nagumo was about to say something, Asahina Nazuna interrupted him.

"It's okay, I already said it's a reward for Kamio-kun."

Nanono Masa smiled nonchalantly, while Asahina clearly didn't intend to get involved, so she stood up directly.

"Alright, you guys chat then. What would you like to eat, junior? It's my treat today."

"Um, I don't know much about this. Let Asahina-senpai decide."

"alright."

So, Asahina Nazuna left the private room, leaving only Kamio Tatsuya and Nagumo Masaru, who continued the previous conversation.

"Kamio-kun, you probably haven't realized yet, but your first exam since entering the university has already begun."

Kamio Tatsuya was stunned, because he really hadn't realized that the exam had already started.

"The behavior and ethics test will be conducted within the first month of enrollment. The school will evaluate your behavior as a student and deduct points accordingly."

"Well, for example?"

"For example, as a student, you should listen attentively in class. Sleeping, talking, or playing on your phone during class are all violations of classroom discipline and will result in points being deducted."

After hearing all this, Tatsuya Kamio was completely stunned.

He didn't believe that all the promising young talents in his class today would be diligent and studious students.

"When Senior Nan Yun mentioned deducting points, did he mean deducting class points?"

"Oh? You even know that." Nan Yunya nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. Each class in the first year receives 1000 class points upon enrollment, which corresponds to 100,000 personal points distributed each month."

The special exam will affect the class points, and your monthly living expenses are linked to the class points.

The class ranking is also based on the class points.

After listening, Tatsuya Kamio nodded, confirming that this was exactly what he had predicted.

However, his expression quickly turned sour, because this behavioral ethics test was really a rip-off.

If too many points are deducted, I might have to eat dirt next month.

Moreover, even if he were to publicize this, those idiots in Class D probably wouldn't believe it, and those who wanted to do things their own way would still do so.

Seeing the expression on Kamio Tatsuya's face, Nagumo Masaru smiled.

The behavioral ethics exam is held secretly in the first month of each year, without the knowledge of the new students. And the results are almost always the same: the class points of the four classes are the same as their class numbers.

Class A had the fewest points deducted, while Class D had the most points deducted.

The overall quality was determined from the beginning, so Nagumo could imagine what kind of people were in Class 1-D now.

Even if there are exceptional individuals like Tatsuya Kamio with extraordinary insight and action, there are definitely more hopeless idiots among them.

To be honest, he didn't even quite understand why Tatsuya Kamio was assigned to Class D.

A player with this kind of ability, if not an elite from Class A, should at least be a top contender from Class B, right? But he happens to be a student from Class D.

What did this guy do in middle school that made the school put him in Class D?

It seems I need to find an opportunity to inquire about it.

Just then, Asahina returned, carrying a tray in his hand.

"This is lobster rice that my sister treated you to. You're welcome."

Kamio Tatsuya was flattered. Not only did his senior treat him to a meal, but she also brought it to him. He felt utterly unworthy of such treatment.

"Thank you, Asahina-senpai. You've worked hard."

Then Nagumo stood up as well: "Alright, I won't disturb your meal anymore, Kamio-kun. I'm waiting to see your performance."

After Nagumo left, Tatsuya Kamio let out a long sigh of relief, then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the very luxurious lobster rice.

He had seen it before entering the private room; it was a luxurious meal worth 2000 points.

After lunch, Tatsuya Kamio strolled alone along the school's wooded paths, pondering what to do next.

However, before figuring out what to do, he felt he needed to clarify his purpose first.

What is your main quest?

It's about surviving in this school.

This school offers free accommodation, free water and electricity, and even free meals and daily necessities. Students also receive school uniforms.

Our basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation have been met to a minimum.

What you need to do then is improve your quality of life based on this, which means making money, or rather, earning personal points.

Personal points are linked to class points; as long as there are enough class points, there will naturally be no shortage of personal points.

So, should we find a way to help Class D get through the first month?

As long as the rules are disclosed a month later, Class D will at least retain some class points.

But the thought of those idiots in Class D gave him a headache.
