I have a life simulator.

Even if the other party is just secretly trying to trip you up, it's still a very troublesome thing given your intelligence rating of A.

But now all I can do is pray that the new student I've been assigned, named [Kōenji Rokusuke], is a reliable person.

A smart person should be able to assess the situation and act accordingly.

After Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made his choice, Kitagawa Ryo also took the "Queen" tablet engraved with "Sakayanagi Arisu".

Judging from the apparent distribution of pieces, I may have the upper hand.

However, Kitagawa Ryo remained clear-headed; he knew that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was likely also hiding some of his trump cards.

Moreover, when Kitagawa Ryo thought of the D-class students he had seen in the simulation, who were like stars in the sky, he felt a headache coming on.

Arisu Sakayanagi, Honami Ichinose, Suzune Horikita.

Then I thought about how I had assigned all three of them to Class D.

Now, I feel a slight, dull pain in my stomach.

Chapter Thirty-Six: This one is even more heavyweight

The gate of Tokyo Advanced Educational High School is made of two natural giant rocks. Although it is a young school that has only been established for a little over ten years, its magnificent and imposing gate might lead an uninformed person to mistake it for a well-known university.

In fact, the government's financial investment in Tokyo Advanced Educational High School is indeed quite substantial. The school's campus is not located in Tokyo, but on a large artificial island overseas, connected to the mainland only by two bridges, which is consistent with its "fully enclosed" management style.

"call."

Unlike the other freshmen who were walking into the school gate in high spirits, Kitagawa Ryo looked quite melancholy today. He was leaning against a cherry blossom tree near the school gate, sighing and looking around, which attracted the attention of many girls. However, so far, no girl has mustered up the courage to go up and talk to him.

One of the main reasons was the girl standing next to Kitagawa Ryo. Although she was wearing the same red uniform and white pleated skirt, the girl seemed to exude a different aura on her, making every girl who wanted to approach and chat with Kitagawa Ryo feel ashamed. Her naturally upright posture and the charm she exuded in her every move made some girls who were passing by whisper among themselves, wondering if she was a famous model or actress.

In early spring, with cherry blossoms in full bloom and handsome men and beautiful women standing side by side, it's like they could be filming an idol drama.

However, if they could hear the specific content of their conversation, it would probably shatter their rosy, bubble-like fantasy.

"Class B, Grade 1... What kind of extreme home swap is this?"

Karuizawa Megumi showed Kitagawa Ryo the class assignment information on her phone, and she seemed quite dissatisfied with the result:

"Are you sure Liang isn't lying to me? My name wasn't on the list when we were assigned classes that day?"

"It's probably because Hui's abilities are hard to reflect through data ratings. After all, there are students in the grade who are better than Hui in terms of academic ability, sports ability, and interpersonal skills. However, Hui's data should be quite balanced, so that's why you were ultimately assigned to Class B."

Actually, Kitagawa Ryo noticed that Karuizawa Megumi's name was not listed after the class assignments were completed that day, but after looking through Karuizawa Megumi's enrollment information, he felt that it was reasonable.

Megumi Karuizawa

Academic Ability: B- Intelligence: B Judgment: B+ Physical Ability: B Coordination: C+

[Interviewer's Comments: This student's academic performance and physical fitness are both above average. According to the information, this student had been working as a lead actor in a drama troupe before entering school, which explains their ease in interacting with adults and their impressive demeanor. However, considering the serious incident they caused in elementary school and their tendency to distance themselves from school and class during junior high, we are cautious about their interactions with peers. We hope this student can leverage their strengths in Class B and address any potential issues.]

It's at least much better than Karuizawa Megumi's original world-line rating of [D-, D-, C-, D, E+].

Furthermore, Kitagawa Ryo felt that Class B was a very suitable class for Karuizawa Kei. If Karuizawa Kei were assigned to Class A, where Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was, he might even be a little worried.

"But both Fanbo and Lingyin are in Class D."

Karuizawa Kei played with the ends of her hair with some dissatisfaction. She had originally thought that after arriving at Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, the two of them would have more time alone together, but in the end, her and Ichinose Honami's positions were switched.

Class 1B...

After trying hard to recall, I realized that apart from Ichinose Honami, I couldn't think of any other important characters, like the one who was always by her side, called something like "God".

Karuizawa Kei felt that her life was difficult. Although Class B seemed to be much better than Class D, she always felt that she was not competitive enough.

"I'm really worried because they're all in Class D. Either Honami or Arisu could be a leader in another class. They're all crammed into Class D. Who knows how this will turn out?"

Kitagawa Ryo rubbed his temples and complained.

"Weren't those all chosen by Liang?"

Karuizawa Megumi's tone was filled with a sense of resentment.

"At the time, I was just thinking of supplementing the combat strength of Class D."

"And if I don't make a selection, given their level of excellence, they're basically guaranteed a spot in Class A."

"Given Ayanokouji's style of doing things, I can't accept it if something bad happens to him."

Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Kei simply sighed:

"That's really cool."

"Alright, it's getting late. If we go back to class now, we can get to know our classmates before the entrance ceremony."

"If Hui Xian makes it into Class A, I'll be begging for your coattails."

Kitagawa Ryochi waved and teased Karuizawa Megumi.

"Then it's a deal."

Karuizawa Kei, on the other hand, seemed to take it seriously. She took a hair tie out of her pocket and casually tied her hair into a single ponytail.

"But back then, you had to beg me to do it."

"Humph."

-------------------------------------

After parting ways with Karuizawa Megumi at the entrance of the school building, Kitagawa Ryo followed the map to find Class 1-D. Since he had already learned about the school in advance, he did not go to the convenience store on campus to investigate as he had done in the simulation.

Having already witnessed the general level of Class D in the first year, Kitagawa Ryo didn't have high expectations for the students on the first day of school. When he pushed open the classroom door, Kitagawa Ryo, who was actually prepared for chaos, was dumbfounded by the scene before him.

"Shizuku-chan, Shizuku-chan, I'm your fan! Actually, I've been a die-hard fan of yours since I was three years old!"

"Um, well, Yamauchi-kun, I've only been in the industry for a little over two years."

"This is just my way of expressing my love..."

"Yamachi, can you hurry up? We're still waiting for your autograph."

"I never imagined that I would be in the same class as Shizuku-sama. Is this Kami's blessing to me?"

"If everyone could quiet down, it would be even faster."

To the left of the classroom was a long line of more than a dozen people, a mix of boys and girls. Sakura Airi was sitting in the last row, signing papers for everyone in a very generous manner. Her words seemed to have a lot of influence in the crowd. The noisy and restless Yamauchi was quickly knocked down and dragged to the last row by several boys. The efficiency of her actions was astonishing.

"You can just call me Honami, Sato-kun. Our school even held a joint cultural festival with your school when we were in the second year of junior high."

"Yes, yes, yes, that day a circus magician made a mistake, and it's still so funny to think about it now."

"Is this Inogashira? I saw you clutching your stomach when you came in, and you seemed to be feeling unwell, so I got you a cup of hot water and put it here."

"Shinohara has a great personality, very suitable to be friends. Please take good care of me in the future!"

On the other side is Ichinose Honami, who, despite having only recently enrolled, seems to be getting along famously among the girls.

Seeing her communicate with people with ease and making people smile from the bottom of their hearts, she certainly deserved the A-level rating given by the school.

"Matsushita-kun is an interesting person, and I really like that about your personality."

In the corner of the classroom, Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the girl in front of her with an expression that said she had found her favorite toy.

This seems to be another kind of chaotic mess.

Kitagawa Ryo tried to keep a low profile, carefully making his way through the crowd to the back of the classroom. Just as he put down his bag after confirming his location, he heard a familiar voice from his right:

"Good morning, Ryo."

"I'm more touched by the fact that I saw Lingyin sitting quietly in her seat reading a book."

"So why did it turn out like this?"

"He's probably running for governor... no, class monitor."

Horikita Suzune closed the book in her hands; the title, "The Short Stories of Mark Twain," could be seen on the book jacket.

"Who knows, during the self-introduction session later, someone might hire a dozen or so children of different skin colors to rush in and call her 'Grandma'."

"Where's Lingyin?"

"Ok?"

"Do I mean that Rinne doesn't have that intention?"

Horikita Suzune tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, and then solemnly shook her head:

"My goal is simply to join the student council; I don't really want to get involved in class affairs."

"That's quite a confident statement."

Kitagawa Ryo sighed, chatting idly with Horikita Suzune while observing the students in Class D.

Because she was assigned to Class C during the mock exam for Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, Kitagawa Ryo doesn't actually remember all forty students in Class D. Karuizawa Megumi probably does, but the problem is she's currently in Class B.

I searched for the few that I vaguely remembered.

The relationship between Yamauchi and Ike in the "Fool Group" seems to be strained this time. As if trying to impress Sakura Airi, the noisy Yamauchi was just knocked to the ground by Ike and the boys, while Sudo is sleeping on the table, seemingly uninterested in everything around him.

Then, Kitagawa Ryo's gaze focused on a girl sitting in the right corner of the classroom.

Although he didn't think he could remember the faces of everyone in Class 1-D, Kitagawa Ryo was very certain that this girl was not a member of the original Class 1-D. If there had been such a person in the previous Class 1-D, he would have remembered her.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the petite girl with pigtails winked her left eye at Kitagawa Ryo in a teasing manner.

Kitagawa Ryo returned a friendly smile.

-------------------------------------

"There were two secret assistants from the White Room who enrolled with you. They were the best among the 5th generation students. So when we made the bet more than a year ago, I prepared in advance and tampered with their student records, making them skip a grade so that they could enter Tokyo Advanced Educational High School as freshmen."

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji sat in his classroom in Class 1-A, recalling the man's last words to him the night before. The man seemed to care a great deal about the role of these two assistants, as evidenced by the fact that he only told him this at the last moment.

According to him, one of them was assigned to Class D of the first year, while the other...

"Everyone, could you please listen to me for a moment?"

The shouts from the outside world interrupted Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's thoughts. He looked up and noticed a boy in the front row standing up. Even in the elite Class A, his appearance was among the best.

The handsome boy, with a cheerful yet gentle smile that drew everyone's attention, spoke in a clear voice:

"Starting today, we'll be living together in the same class. So, I think we should start by introducing ourselves spontaneously. I hope we can all become friends quickly. There's still time before the entrance ceremony, how about that?"

"No problem, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Another boy standing nearby quickly responded. His physique, which was much larger than average and his head, which was completely hairless, made him look somewhat fierce. However, his speech and manners revealed an air of good manners, which was a subtle contrast.

Katsuragi Kohei never expected that the pawn that Kitagawa Ryo had abandoned would eventually be assigned to Class A, and that he didn't seem as bad as the other party had imagined. Considering that such a talent might have been assigned to Class D before, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka also felt that he had gained a small advantage.

"I also hope to become friends with everyone as soon as possible."

Another very attractive girl responded softly.

The other students responded enthusiastically, and the self-introductions naturally began.

"My name is Hirata Yosuke. In junior high school, everyone usually called me Yosuke, so I hope you can just call me by my name. I'm interested in all kinds of sports, but I especially love soccer. I plan to play soccer at this school, so please continue to support me."

As the promising young man who proposed the idea, Hirata Yosuke gave a fluent and impeccable self-introduction, which set a good example for the whole class.

During the self-introduction session, the students of Class A indeed displayed remarkable composure. Not a single one hesitated or showed any timidity. Even the seemingly ordinary boy named Totsuka Yahiko sincerely expressed that he had many shortcomings and hoped to learn from the rest of the class to make progress together.

Overall, it largely meets Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's expectations for Class 1-A.

Before coming to Class A, he made a point of visiting the classrooms of Class C and Class D. Compared to the chaotic and noisy lower-level classes, the overall quality of Class A in the first year was simply overwhelming.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji also kept an eye on a few people he could win over and use as tools, including Yosuke Hirata, who had made the suggestion at the beginning. Judging from his demeanor and speaking style, although he didn't have the ability to take on a major role, he should be perfect as a deputy. Kikyo Kushida, the beautiful girl he had chosen with an A rating in interpersonal skills, also seemed very easy to talk to and should be fine as a glue that holds the class together.

Just as Kiyotaka Ayanokouji was engrossed in the atmosphere of Class 1-A and peacefully selecting his "tools," an outcast voice suddenly rang out.

"My name is Koenji Rokusuke. I am the only son of the Koenji Zaibatsu and a man who will one day shoulder the responsibilities of Japanese society. I look forward to your guidance, young ladies."

The blond man, who was admiring himself while casually combing his slightly long bangs, spoke in a flippant tone.

It's more accurate to say that he only introduced himself to the women rather than the whole class.

Sitting next to Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, the boy named Masayoshi Hashimoto raised an eyebrow in slight displeasure.

He had just been playing the role of a blond, frivolous playboy, but what he heard in Koenji Rokusuke's tone was genuine arrogance, as if he were looking down on them.

Some girls also cast slightly disgusted glances at Rokusuke Koenji.

"Furthermore, I will not hesitate to punish anyone who does anything that displeases me. You should all keep a close eye on this matter."

Completely oblivious to the opinions of others, Koenji Rokusuke continued to spout nonsense in a commanding tone.

"Um... Koenji-san, what kind of behavior is it that makes you feel uncomfortable?"
