In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

The Advanced Education School is built on an artificial island, and its area is so large that it is not at the level that a normal high school should have.

Fortunately, the buildings are located in a very reasonable location, so there is no situation where you need to spend tens of minutes traveling.

"Even if I did know something, why should I tell you?"

"You know you tried to slap me before, and I'm the kind of person who holds a grudge."

It's a good thing that the fish have taken the bait.

But it's bad if the fish want to get the bait for free.

Didn't your parents or older siblings teach you to have the right attitude when asking for help?

"At the very least, you should apologize to me for what you did before, right?"

Horikita Suzune remained silent.

She wasn't very good at interacting with people to begin with. In the eyes of her teachers, she might be able to use her academic excellence to cover up some of the problems, but among her fellow students, the evaluation of her was quite harsh.

Although she didn't care about such things at all.

However, having realized there was something wrong with the school, she didn't want to sit idly by until the 1st of next month; her intuition told her that this was not a good thing.

Moreover, Nangong Cheng also made a sweeping generalization about her brother, something she couldn't ignore!

"Okay, I apologize to you."

"Can you tell me now?"

Nangong Cheng shook his head.

Is this how you apologize?

Where is the sincerity? Where is the sincerity?

Horikita Manabu, you are truly sinful. You have ruined a perfectly good girl and turned her into this.

If the younger sister is not properly taught, it is the elder brother's fault.

Since you can't teach her well and are unwilling to teach her, then I'll just have to let Makoto give Horikita Suzune a proper lesson.

You should understand the concept of equivalent exchange, right?

"You give me money, I give you intelligence, that's it."

Nangong Cheng sighed that he was still too kind, having subtly revealed the correct way to use the points.

But Horikita Suzune doesn't think so.

"You reminded me in class meeting that there was a problem with the points, so why do you want me to spend money to buy them now?"

No, could your focus be any more off?

This child is truly hopeless!

“Horikita, I didn’t say a single word to you or even look at you during the entire class meeting. All of this can be proven by the surveillance footage.”

"So I feel that there's something really wrong with your thinking. Come back to me when you're more normal."

As he spoke, Nangong Cheng quickened his pace.

Horikita Suzune pursed her lips.

Could it be that she really misjudged the situation?

This thing called the system has nothing to do with Nangong Cheng? Was she just being too subjective and making assumptions?

【Host, Horikita Suzune, hello】

I am the AI ​​assistant of the Perfect Life System. If you have any questions, please silently ask me to communicate with you.

A synthesized mechanical voice suddenly rang in my mind.

Horikita Suzune was startled, but quickly calmed down.

"AI assistant? What do you want to do? What's your relationship with Nangong Cheng?"

The Perfect Life System is dedicated to making every imperfect life fulfilling. This AI assistant exists solely to guide its host.

[Nangong Cheng is the most compatible human male with the host in this world; in the system's terms, they are a "community of shared destiny." Therefore, the tasks issued by the system will almost always be related to Nangong Cheng.]

"You mean my life is imperfect?"

Horikita Suzune's focus is somewhat subtle.

She has a happy and fulfilling family, an older brother she is proud of, and she is outstanding enough to be admitted to the legendary advanced training program. Once she graduates, she will have a bright and promising future.

So you're saying her life isn't perfect?

[This system has preserved many video recordings related to a perfect life, which the host can view and compare at will if needed.]

The blue panel came into view, covered with folders titled "Perfect Life Case Studies".

Horikita Suzune didn't believe it, so she clicked in and took a look, and immediately fell silent.

"..."

"Let me check out the system shop first."

Even though Horikita Suzune was still reluctant to believe it, the image of her being punished at the school gate was still vivid in her mind.

If the punishment is real, then what about the reward?

With a faint glimmer of hope, one that even she herself was unwilling to admit, Horikita Suzune silently murmured a sentence to herself.

A blue light flashed across the panel in front of me.

Then she saw the item she needed most at that moment—

[Highly Cultivated Secret Intelligence: It might give you the answer you're looking for. Exchange Points Required: 50]

Volume 1: 5. Alternating current or direct current?

Horikita Suzune chose to redeem without hesitation.

In an instant, she felt something suddenly appear in her mind... the secret of the school.

Many of my doubts and unquestioned facts have been answered.

It turns out that the students admitted to the school each year are predetermined from the very beginning...

The four classes, A, B, C, and D, are actually divided according to the students' academic performance, and only those who graduate from class A can receive the benefits promised by the school.

Her class, D, was the worst class, and since the school was founded, there had never been a successful case of a class from D being promoted to class A.

In addition, the school will arrange various special exams during the school year, which is a direct channel for students in lower-ranked classes to be promoted to higher-ranked classes.

The purchasing power of personal points is not limited to daily living expenses; it truly means "as long as you have enough points, you can buy whatever you want"—such as changing classes.

The number of points credited each month is not fixed; it is determined by the number of class points each class has.

"how so……"

Horikita Suzune's emotions were once again shaken.

I thought I was able to get into this school entirely on my own merit, but the truth is actually like this?

According to the school's standards for evaluating students, she was assigned to Class D because the school believed she had a major personality flaw.

More specifically, the school considered her an extreme individualist who lacked teamwork and a sense of collective honor.

"Are you kidding me!"

"Once my brother finds out that I enrolled in this school but was assigned to Class D..."

Horikita Suzune should have been angry and protested immediately.

But what she's thinking about now is the fear of her brother, Horikita Manabu, finding out that his younger sister has been assigned to Class D.

"No! Calm down, Horikita Suzune."

"So what if I'm assigned to Class D? Knowing the truth beforehand, I can completely change that assessment!"

Indulging in emotions only brings more anxiety and is meaningless.

Her immediate priority should be figuring out how to maximize the value and benefits of this secret, such as... finding her brother and confronting him face to face?

As long as it can be confirmed that this is true...

"Discovering the school's hidden secret on the very first day of school—even my brother couldn't have done that, could he?"

Thinking about the possible scenarios, Horikita Suzune suddenly felt no more annoyed. If they weren't in a public place, she might even have wanted to hum a little.

Before we knew it, we arrived at the stadium.

Nangong Cheng quickened his pace, putting considerable distance between himself and Horikita Suzune, and was now standing alone in the designated D class area.

Students from all four classes arrived one after another. Horikita Suzune chose to stand next to Nangong Cheng, but noticed that his eyes seemed to be in a daze.

Actually, it was because the system started ringing frantically in Nangong Cheng's ear.

In addition, the purely procedural and ritualistic opening ceremony was simply too tedious, so he naturally chose to shift his attention away from it.

Library NPCs...

Literature major girls are a classic example of the ideal female protagonist, and naturally, they fall into Nangong Cheng's favored category.

Unfortunately, he is not interested in traditional literature or prefers fast-paced online novels, so it is difficult for him to have a conversation with Hiyori Shiina under normal circumstances.

Only after exchanging points for some literary knowledge can one conveniently approach the other party in a way that caters to their interests.

There was so much I wanted to say, but in the end I didn't.

Given the current situation, he will definitely change the original plot, so there's no need to criticize something that's impossible.

Even if they are truly love-obsessed, he will only ever be the one and only object of their love-obsessed attention.

But aren't a few people still missing?

What exactly are the selection criteria for your system?

Looks? Figure? Popularity?

The first two definitely have more than just this many people. After all, if you only look at the character illustrations, Shiraishi Asuka from Class A of the first year, who initially disappeared but later became a character who appeared out of nowhere, is also a top-tier beautiful girl.
