COTE : Backed By Black Technology System

After finishing the substantial grilled beef set meal, Kanda Shuichi felt satisfied.

"No wonder it's worth 1,000 points. It's not only balanced but also delicious."

"It's just too expensive. Even with 100,000 private points a month, you can't eat it many times," Ayanokouji nodded in agreement, expressing concern about the points.

"That's true. Even if you eat it twice a day, it would cost 60,000 points a month." Then, as if thinking of something, he looked at Kanda Shuichi, "Kanda, you're not planning to eat it every day, are you?"

"Yes, at least this month I plan to eat it every day."

For someone recovering like Kanda Shuichi, these meals were necessary. He planned to eat them every day at lunch.

For dinner, he would cook for himself, also focusing on balanced nutrition. The goal was to eat more meat and get his body back to normal within a month.

After lunch, the three of them returned to the school building, went to the restroom, and then to the classroom.

Kanda Shuichi was about to rest on his desk during the remaining lunch break when the classroom speaker startled him.

"At 5 PM today, there will be a club orientation meeting at the First Gym. Students interested in clubs, please gather at the First Gym. Repeating, at 5 PM today..."

The cute female voice repeated three times before the broadcast stopped.

"Clubs, huh? Miyake, you're joining the archery club, right?"

Kanda Shuichi said, lying on the desk.

"Of course, I already told Sato-senpai yesterday that I would join today," Miyake turned his head, showing he would keep his promise.

"That's nice. Should I join the archery club too?"

"If you don't have other plans, come along. Sato-senpai seems to welcome people who can maintain the bows."

While they were talking, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka behind them seemed to be talking too, but Kanda Shuichi couldn't hear clearly because he was lying down. He only knew they wouldn't join any clubs but would attend the orientation.

After school, following the GPS, Kanda Shuichi and Miyake Akito arrived at the First Gym mentioned in the noon broadcast.

With Kanda Shuichi's pace, they were among the last to arrive. There were many first-year students, at least a hundred.

It seemed even those not planning to join clubs came along.

Maybe they saw it as an extra social place?

Even so, Kanda Shuichi thought there were enough people, considering there were only 160 first-year students.

"So many people want to join clubs? I wonder how many will join the archery club." Miyake, already worrying about the archery club before joining, seemed like the next president.

"Who knows, maybe they're just here for fun."

"Don't be so negative."

"But the clubs here seem strong." Kanda said, flipping through the club introduction booklet.

He picked it up at the gym entrance, where it was available.

"Really? Let me see."

Miyake's attention shifted to Kanda's hand.

"Volleyball and basketball clubs are regulars at national competitions. What's this? There's even a golf club? Isn't that too luxurious?"

Seeing Miyake's surprise, Kanda was speechless. Shouldn't he focus on the archery club first?

The first club introduction after turning the page was the archery club.

"Archery club, a regular at national competitions, won the national championship two years ago, a top-level club."

"Really? Sato-senpai didn't mention that."

When Miyake heard about the archery club, he immediately forgot the other information he had just seen.

This guy really loves archery.

"And besides sports clubs, there are also regular clubs like calligraphy, tea ceremony, and cooking."

Seeing the cooking club's name, Kanda Shuichi was tempted, wondering if he could get free meals by joining.

"It's starting."

As if responding to Kanda's words, a girl with striking purple hair styled in twin buns walked onto the gym stage, turned on the microphone, and let her voice reach every corner of the gym.

"First-year students, thank you for waiting. Next, the club representatives will start the orientation. I am Tachibana, the student council secretary, and I will be the host for this orientation. Nice to meet you."

After a brief self-introduction, Tachibana stepped back, and the club representatives lined up on the stage.

The representatives were diverse, with a strong-looking senior in a judo uniform and a senior in a kimono.

"My name is Hashibara, and I am the captain of the archery club. Many students may think of archery as old-fashioned and simple. But it's very interesting and worth doing. We welcome beginners, so please join our club."

Hashibara-senpai was a tall woman with a high ponytail. Although her looks weren't as striking as the senior in the kimono next to her, the large bow on her back added a heroic charm, making her very attractive.

"It's not Sato-senpai giving the speech."

"Looks like she's the next president."

Unlike Kanda Shuichi, Miyake immediately saw the point. He thought Hashibara-senpai was probably a second-year student, preparing for the archery club's future by showing her face to the freshmen.

After the archery club's introduction, the other clubs also introduced themselves in a flashy manner. Finally, a stern man with glasses, neat black hair, and a student uniform remained on stage.

At this moment, the audience was in chaos after the previous club introductions. It seemed they were here for entertainment rather than the club orientation, eagerly awaiting the final moment.

But the last student on stage remained silent, calmly looking at the students below.

"Hey, who is that guy?"

"Isn't he going to speak?"

"Did he forget his lines because he's nervous?"

"Hahaha!"

"Good luck~~"

The first-year students below voiced their questions, mockery, and encouragement, but the senior on stage remained unmoved.

Kanda noticed that the previous club representatives now had serious expressions, not daring to make a sound.

The laughter reached its peak and then suddenly fell silent.

The students below looked at each other, unsure if there was a broadcast accident or something else.

But the senior on stage remained still, quietly standing there.

Then, the relaxed atmosphere slowly turned into something unexpected, like potassium permanganate reacting with a catalyst, instantly going from boiling to silent.

The gym was filled with an unbelievable tension and silence.

The silence was so intense that even without being ordered, everyone felt they couldn't speak.

Now, no one dared to say a word.

"tsk, show off"

Seeing this, Kanda Shuichi smiled and muttered softly.

Hearing this, Horikita Suzune, who had been standing in front of him, suddenly turned around and glared at Kanda Shuichi, leaving him puzzled.

Wait, has Horikita Suzune been in front of me all this time? I didn't notice at all.
