COTE : I Just Want To Drop Out

On a moving bus .

Ren Ishikawa sat in his seat, looking at his suit-style school uniform, then looking at the campus built on an artificial island in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh .

Although he didn't want to come, he came anyway .

Fortunately, he didn't need to stay here for too long .

He will soon be expelled from school for violating school rules and regulations .

That's right , Ren Ishikawa is not here to study, he is here to drop out !

　　...

Because of their work, Ren's parents would often move around the world .

Ren's family didn't have any relatives or friends who could be entrusted with their child for a long time, and his parents were worried, so Ren was taken with them and moved around .

Not long ago, the family moved to Japan .

Ren Ishikawa also became an international student in a private junior high school in Japan .

In fact, he just registered there and he didn't go to school much .

After all, when you are always moving, and the classmates you just got familiar with will soon become passers-by, and you have to constantly synchronize your learning progress with the new class, which is very boring .

Therefore, he simply told his parents that he would not go to school anymore, as he would be self-taught in the end anyway and would not be able to participate in campus life at all .

Ren has a good brain, so he can easily get good grades. However, going to school will affect his studies for various reasons .

His parents agreed , and the school turned a blind eye .

Afterwards, he basically did what he liked all year round , traveling around the world, and only went back to school for some necessary exams .

A few months ago, Ren's junior high school teacher found him, who had just returned from a wilderness survival program abroad, and said that a school called "Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School" was conducting test and invited Ren to take part in their school's entrance exam .

It is said that this school is one of Japan's most prestigious schools. In addition to being equipped with the latest equipment and courses, the school atmosphere is said to be extremely free where hairstyles and school uniforms can be adjusted according to students personal preferences. Its biggest selling point is its 99.9% employment rate and all tuition and miscellaneous fees are free !

After listening to the introduction of the head teacher , Ren felt that it was some kind of scam and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this school .

But it doesn't really matter, Ren doesn't go to school very often anyway .

At most, he just has a name on the list and a certificate. The specific conditions of the school don't really matter much to him .

But when he learned that this school was a completely closed one and once inside, he would basically not be able to get out for three years .

He refused immediately .

After his refusal the head teacher contacted his parents .

After his parents learned about the benefits of attending the high school, they came to persuade him again .

Of course, what they value most is that " the school helps them raise their child for three years . "

They feel that because of their work, their child has not been able to experience a complete and fulfilling life as elementary school and junior high school student .

If Ren could enter this high school, he wouldn't have to follow them around the world, and he would be able to settle down at one place and enjoy a complete high school life .

This is what they thought and how they persuaded him .

Although Ren has no interest in the so-called complete high school life he knew that his parents were doing it for his own good after all .

So he gave face to his parents and agreed to take the exam .

But he just agreed to merely " participate " .

He had no intention of enrolling in the school, so he didn't take the exam seriously at all . He just wanted to get through it quickly and leave .

So to vent dissatisfaction .

During the written test , he deliberately controlled his scores .

There are five subjects in total, and he scored: 44 , 44 , 44 , 44 , 44.

The number " 4" is considered unlucky in Japan .

During the interview , he was totally uncooperative, played dumb, and didn't know the answers to any of the questions even the most basic ones . Only when asked about his ' future plans ' , he became quite serious .

" I don't want to work. I just want to do what I want to do and earn some money for my living . "

" Speaking of what I want to do recently? Yes, I want to fight a polar bear, and then lie on the softest sofa, not go out, and spend the whole year relaxing ..."

Interviewers : I really want to hit this guy .

After the exam .

Ren Ishikawa felt: This game is a sure win .

However, he never expected it .

Even after his abysmal performance , he was still admitted ...

Reason for admission: Very unique .

Just when he was thinking , " Forget it, I'd better ask how to drop out of school . "

He awakened a system .

The system immediately throws out the " ultimate task " at him :

Mission objective: Complete studies at Advanced Nurturing High School .

Rewards :

1. [ Invincible Luck ]: The goddess of luck is on your side .

2. [ Superb Physique ]: Explosive performance ( speed , strength and stamina ), super-fast recovery, and long lifespan .

Limitation :

1. Actively withdrawing from the school would cancel the [Invincible Luck] reward;

2. If a student drops out of school due to failing the written examination, the [Superb Physique] reward will be cancelled;

Prepaid Reward: After the mission begins, you can prepay the " Primary Version " of the power ( choose one of the two ):

1. [ Lucky Star ]: Slightly improves fortune ;

2. [ Super Body ]: Improves recovery and endurance. Once activated, it increases explosive power and overall resistance for a certain period of time .

　　.....

After seeing the mission reward, Ren started salivating with greed .

With an amazing luck and a strong and long-living body, wouldn't it be possible for him to live a long life and do what he loved , couldn't he have fun doing whatever he wanted with the rest of his life !

When Ren saw that the task required him to " finish his studies " , he was ready to endure living in a closed environment for the next three years for the reward .

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better when he observed that the task content shows that it actually allows one to " end their studies " by " dropping out " !

However , voluntarily dropping out of school or failing the academic examination will cancel one reward .

Whether it was [ Invincible Luck] or [Extraordinary Physique ], these were things he was unwilling to lose .

Therefore, he cannot voluntarily drop out of school, nor can he deliberately take zero points in the exam, resulting in failure in academic subjects which might result in him being expelled from school .

However , he didn't think the situation was completely hopeless for him !

After all, there are more ways to drop out of school than just these two .

You should know that if you seriously violate school rules and regulations, you will be expelled !

Ren intends to drop out of school by " violating disciplines " .

Of course, Ren Ishikawa just wanted to drop out of school and didn't intend to go to jail .

If he went to jail, he would be confined in a prision that was even less free than the High School , and he would not have his freedom .

Therefore, he would not go too far and would limit himself to civil disputes; things in criminal regulations should never be touched .

It would be best if the police don't need to be involved. Just because of violating school rules, you can get a few minor punishments, and then add up to a lot, and combine them into a big package for a " harmless expulsion . "

Moreover, he will try his best not to implicate innocent people .

Even if he wants to " violate the rules " , he will first look for those disgusting people as " criminal targets " , and it would be best if he could " die together " with those people .

In this way, his conscience will not be burdened and he may even feel happy .

Even if innocent people are involved, he will prioritize ensuring that the situation is under control and can be salvaged, and then find a way to double compensate them afterwards .

After all, he is not a bad person, he just wants to drop out of school .

AUTHOR'S NOTE - So a new fanfic from classroom of the elite ,

The story is quite good but it has a lot of mistakes and plot holes so I had to rewrite the whole story and modify it where necessary which turns out to be more exhausting than I had initially thought , So add this to your collection , give this story some power stones to motivate me to continue writing stories and tell me your thoughts on it . 

Also there are some plot holes in the later part of story which I can't change as it would disrupt the entire story but I would try to make it as good as possible . With that said hope you enjoy the story.🫡
