NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Chapter 002
Class A, first grade.
The students returned from the gym and headed to their classes.
There are previously set seating arrangements, everyone can sit down according to their arrangements.
Oreki seat by the window.
From this location, you can see the kapok tree outside the window.
A tall but thin man wearing a blue suit and a white shirt stood at the podium.
"First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Mashima, the homeroom teacher of your class."
"I will be the class teacher for the next three years, and the classroom will not be changed."
This is Mr. Mashma.
His sharp eyes give him the feeling of being a social elite.
And the information he informed is also very meaningful.
"This school has a special system that requires all students to board until you graduate..."
"And now you click on the mobile phone distributed by the school. In the private points column of the student ID card, there are the basic points for each of you."
"100,000."
"This is a personal point."
"The private points that are transferred into the school on the 1st of every month can allow you to buy everything in the school, so you can think of it as money..."
"And remember, in this school, you can buy anything with points. As long as you have enough points."
The students then clicked on their phones one after another.
Oreki also clicked on his student ID card.
[Name: Houtaro Oreki
Student ID: 1008610010
Sex: Male
Class: Grade A, first grade
Private account: 100,000 points. ]
"As far as the purchasing power of the school is concerned, points are the same as the purchasing power of the outside world. 150 points can buy items worth 150 yen." Teacher Mashima said.
In other words, although I was informed of the boarding system, the school also provided living expenses.
Tuition is free and living expenses are subsidized, which is very reassuring.
But Oreki concentrated a little more.
Because he doesn't think it's a good thing.
after all.
Free is the most expensive.
Waiving tuition and then providing living expenses is a good deed.
You must know that the funder of this school is the government, and it uses taxpayers' money.
If this kind of information were to be exposed, the school would be closed down quickly.
But the school is not only prestigious, it has also been around for more than fifteen years.
It shows that it has its own set of rules.
This feeling reminded Oreki of some experiment-related books he had read, such as paid experiments, where everyone was just a guinea pig.
Then, to obtain investment, the facility needs to launch qualified products and so on.
But the class he is in is Class A.
Then someone will realize this soon.
After all, everyone is excellent, right?
With this thought in mind, Oreki looked at the silver-haired girl who was frail and yet judged by Oreki to have a superior IQ.
Arisu Sakayanagi.
A girl judged by Oreki to be a genius.
Her seat is in the middle.
But she didn't say a word.
And when everyone was checking their phones, she didn't follow suit, as if she felt there was no point in confirming the matter.
Yes.
Because now we can't just go shopping with points. Then there is no point in looking at the student ID card.
But when Oreki looked at her, she suddenly turned her head and smiled.
It makes people feel like spring flowers are blooming, and pink petals are falling on their shoulders. It has a light fragrance.
so cute.
"…" Oreki.
wrong.
Oreki quickly withdrew his gaze.
He began to look at the purple-blue virtual frame that appeared in front of him.
If he wasn't broken, then he was in trouble.
Because this is something supernatural.
Following him after appearing at the graduation ceremony in the gymnasium.
[Super power system]
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the task. Choose one of the two]
[Choose one of two tasks, 1. Take away Sakayanagi Arisu's cane and play with it while the Tyrannosaurus Rex is still small. 2. Investigate to obtain information about this school and earn 200,000 points. ]
[Task period: 1 day]
[Task reward: Teleportation (you can teleport 3 times a day to the places you have been)]
[Task punishment: Your sister will drop out of school and go home to play with you for three days. ]
Um.
From a punishment point of view, it is terrible.
Oreki is not the only son in the family, he has an older sister.
My parents are very busy, usually working for overseas dispatch companies, so they rarely go home.
Since last year, my sister has started to attend college, so she is rarely away from home.
To the younger brother, this older sister is a weirdo who is excellent in all aspects.
Besides, her hobby is probably teasing her younger brother.
So for Oreki, Oreki has the same worries as all the younger brothers - although my older sister is super beautiful, she is a tiger.
Yes.
If this sister dropped out of school and came back to play with him alone, the scene would be unimaginable.
So look at the mission.
Task 1. Take away Sakayanagi Arisu's cane and play with it while the Tyrannosaurus Rex is still young.
then.
Oreki looked at the baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Oh no, he was looking at Sakayanagi-san, or to be precise, he was looking at the black cane beside her desk.
Although Sakayanagi-san looks cute and probably has a high IQ, it is a pity that her health is very poor.
So do you want to take away her cane?
She didn't have many opportunities to leave the house, and then even less to use her cane to walk outside.
So coming to this school is an opportunity for her to walk in the sun.
She may have come with expectations.
Then take away her cane and make her feel the despicability of outsiders?
This kind of thing can't be done.
Although he is not pitying her, Oreki feels that he is an ordinary person and has a bottom line as a human being.
Looking at it this way, I can only choose Mission 2.
[Do you want to choose task 2-investigate to obtain information about this school and earn 200,000 points? ]
"yes!"
Oreki said in his mind.
And he also found that after making this choice, the system prompts in front of him changed.
[Main mission: Investigate and obtain information about this school and earn 200,000 points. ]
[Task deadline: 23 hours and 59 minutes]
[Task reward: Teleportation (you can go to the places you have been 3 times a day)]
[Additional reward: Fix your home as your base, and you can teleport home regardless of the number of times a day]
[Task progress: 10%+0%]
The mission became clearer.
at the same time.
"Beep!"
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the newcomer gift package."
"Get extra rewards: fix your home as your base, and you can teleport home regardless of the number of times a day."
oh.
Go home.
go home?!?
Can you go home directly?
Because his sister is excellent and sometimes unreliable, he does all the housework.
At the same time, I also love bed.
When the homeroom teacher Mashima said that he would stay in the boarding school for three years, he was quite uncomfortable.
After all, how can a new place have the same habits as the old place where I have lived for more than ten years?
Isn't a 12-square-meter single apartment a pigeon cage?
As a result, can I just go home and sleep in my big bed?
This is good news for Oreki.
but.
[Additional bonus: Since the host has not yet acquired the ability to teleport, it cannot be used. ]
In other words, you have to complete the task of exploring the school and the task of earning 200,000 points.
So, he raised his hand.
"oh?"
Everyone looked over
