A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Later, we learned that it was important to pay attention to what kind of vehicle to use and the choice of route, so we sent out many more people, but many of them did not return. It was at that time that Kaguya's people brought Uesugi over, which was a pleasant surprise.

He now knows that the Kaguya faction member is Hayasaka Ai, and that the Uesugi side values ​​her talent in crossing Tokyo to reach Chiba and wants to keep her there. It also seems that she herself is not opposed to staying in Chiba.

Shirogane Miyuki was happy to see this happen; it was somewhat like an ancient marriage alliance, or the exchange of hostages, which would put both sides at ease. Moreover, he himself was not unwilling.

"Well, that's your own business." Uesugi Genshin turned his head and looked to the side, showing no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Shuchiin.

"Don't say that. If there's really no other way, please have the fuel and generator delivered." Shirogane Miyuki said with a smile. They were allies, so if anything happened, they would have to ask for help.

"You have to pay more."

If Hikaru were a student of Shuchiin Academy, Uesugi Genshin could give him away out of respect for Hayasaka.

However, the number of people here is several times that of the total number in the military, so it is absolutely impossible to obtain resources without any cost.

"I know." Shirogane Miyuki felt relieved and straightened up easily.

"Shirogane, do you know anything about Haneda Airport?" This was one of the reasons he came to Tokyo this time.

“Haneda, huh?” Shirogane Miyuki thought for a moment. “The Self-Defense Forces are stationed there. I really don’t know anything else.”

Tokyo is small, so small that it has a dense network of narrow streets, many of which are only wide enough for one car to pass through. Yet it is also very large, so large that you have to pass through many building complexes to reach Haneda.

Without reliable transportation and the determination to leave one's comfort zone, it would be impossible to get there at all.

He had already done his best to manage Shuchiin, so how could he possibly think about Haneda next door?

"I see." Uesugi Genshin nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Do you want to go there and take a look?" Shijo Tei was quite curious as to why he asked this.

"Just as you said."

"Then you have to be careful, don't die." Shirogane Miyuki reminded him with concern. If Uesugi died, the cooperation with Soubu High School would probably be forced to end.

"Yes~yes~"

"Didn't you have nothing to do this afternoon?" Shirogane Miyuki asked thoughtfully after a moment's thought.

"I didn't expect you to ask me this?" You must be very free. As the administrator of Shuchiin, Shirogane must be very busy.

Then, Shirogane Miyuki earnestly requested, "Could you give me some pointers on combat? I have to maintain the dignity of the guild leader, so I can only practice in private."

Bluffing was something he learned from Dragon Ball before he was the student council president.

No matter what you do, it's all over if you're looked down upon.

It was precisely at this moment that he could not do anything that would damage his dignity.

If he is easily defeated by his subordinates, his prestige will be shaken, and Shuchiin's position will also be shaken.

"Um, I'd like to too." Hearing Miyuki say that, Shijou Tei was also eager to test his strength.

"No problem at all," Uesugi Genshin readily agreed, after all, it really was just a small matter.

Judging from the results, Shirogane Miyuki's combat awareness is impeccable. He dares to fight and charge forward without being afraid of pain. However, he has always been focused on zombies, which has led to a common problem of being lacking in combat skills against humans.

But it's not a big problem, because as the student council president, he doesn't really have many opportunities to fight people. It's enough for now, and he can improve in the future.

The most important thing now is to improve his physical fitness, and his years of working by bicycle have laid a good foundation for this.

With a "thud," Shijo Tei fell to the ground, rubbing his backside and muttering under his breath, "Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Shirogane Miyuki was lying on the ground, sprawled out in a large "big" shape, slightly doubting his own existence, not expecting himself to be so weak.

No, that's not the right way to think about it. It should be that Uesugi is too strong.

"President~" At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya walked in with her usual expression, completely halting the test and practice session.

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

at night.

Shirogane Miyuki lay down in bed feeling unwell all over; he hadn't felt this muscle soreness in a long time.

After lying down completely, he let out a sigh of relief, "You didn't hold back either."

"Hmm? Ah, if you understand the gap, then you'll know how to catch up, right?"

"Catch up? Just chasing would require all your strength to even do it." Shirogane Miyuki joked, or rather, what kind of joke was he making?

He never even considered how he could defeat his opponent, especially in an area where his opponent excelled, and not just through his own best efforts.

He didn't realize how big the gap was until he actually fought against him.

"There's probably no one in Tokyo better than you," he couldn't help but remark.

Uesugi Genshin closed his eyes and chuckled, "How could that be? It's all about talent. I just have more experience than others."

In Tokyo alone, even if a swordsman who was qualified to obtain the Mankō Kaiden (a high-ranking swordsmanship degree in Japan) were to fight him with a real sword in some kendo dojos in the past, the outcome would only be a 50/50 chance.

Not to mention that this was only with a knife; if he were empty-handed, he would have even less confidence.

Even if not many of them survived, it's impossible to say that no one is stronger than him.

He turned his head toward the curtain. "Gui, there's nothing interesting going on tonight. Go to sleep early."

Then the curtain was pulled up a little, revealing one of the girl's eyes.

They were definitely eavesdropping.

"You're still awake?" Shirogane Miyuki said, adopting an elder brother's stern tone. "Be careful you don't feel sleepy tomorrow morning."

"I know," Baek Eunkyu muttered softly, then said in a cute, polite tone, "Goodnight."

"Good night." The polite language indicated that it was being spoken to Uesugi Genshin, because Kei was very casual with her older brother.

What a polite junior!

After Uesugi Genshin finished speaking, the curtain was lowered, and the sound of someone turning over came from inside.

"Good night." He turned to Shirogane Miyuki and said this before closing his eyes.

"OK, good night."

The other person's last voice came from the darkness.

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

"Do I need to go with them?" Hayasaka Ai asked again to confirm.

"Well, since you'll have to pass through here to get back from Haneda, you should stay here and say goodbye to the people you know."

Uesugi Genshin said understandingly, smiling gently.

"Alright." Hayasaka Ai lowered her head. Although they were friends she met while wearing masks, there was no doubt that she had feelings for her.

Of course, most importantly, there's Kaguya-sama. Let's spend another day with her.

Thinking of this, she looked up and, with gratitude in her heart, reminded him, "Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him." Yukino Yukinoshita brushed a strand of hair from her shoulder as she stood by the passenger door, a calm smile on her face.

That's just a joke, Uesugi Genshin felt he was careful enough and didn't need to be watched at all.

"Then let's go." After saying that, they got into the car, and Hayasaka Ai watched the car drive away from Shuchiin.

"Shall we go straight to Haneda?" After the car drove out of the campus, Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, her beautiful blue eyes looking at the person beside her, and asked.

“No, we’ll go in the opposite direction. I want to go to the Advanced Education High School first.” As he spoke, he took out a map and glanced at the route he had drawn.

"You mean the school mentioned on the radio?"

The radio broadcast that Hayasaka played when he first came to Soubu High School.

“Yes, they have been in contact with Haneda’s Self-Defense Forces. It would be safer to ask them first and confirm the situation.” That was Uesugi Genshin’s thinking, which is why he was being careful enough and didn’t need to be looked after at all.

“That makes sense.” Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a moment and agreed with him.

So they began sailing toward the artificial island in Tokyo Bay.

Volume 3: The Three Extremes of Tokyo

Chapter 251: This time they were wearing clothes.

What do you know about Advanced Education Colleges?

Just in case, Uesugi Genshin wanted to confirm the itinerary in advance for the upcoming trip.

"I've only heard of it." Shaking her head, Yukino Yukinoshita readily admitted that she knew almost nothing about it. "I think it's a national school?"

"Yes, although the school's name includes the words 'Tokyo Metropolitan,' it's not a metropolitan school, but a national school. It's an experimental school established by the state, known for its meritocracy, and it has a rather brutal competitive mechanism." Uesugi Genshin continued Yukinoshita's words.

"I've heard about the 100% college admission and employment rate." It's so famous it's unbelievable.

"Do you believe it?" Uesugi Genshin chuckled.

"I don't believe it." Just hearing it sounded suspicious, Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head.

If temporary work could be considered employment, Japan's unemployment rate wouldn't be so high.

As for schools, sending them all to the affiliated universities in the United States could be considered a 100% success rate.

"Then you're wrong, it's really true."

Hearing Uesugi Genshin's playful tone, Yukino Yukinoshita gave him an invisible eye roll, then glared at him with a slightly angry look, yet with a stubborn cuteness like a cat.

Noticing her intense gaze, Uesugi Genshin glanced at her briefly before explaining, "There are four classes in a year: A, B, C, and D. But only Class A can choose almost freely where they want to go after graduation, whether it's the University of Tokyo, a government agency, or a well-known firm."

"I see." Yukino Yukinoshita looked straight ahead. She didn't ask what would happen to the remaining three classes. It was obvious that she was just using this as a pretext to see how people would interpret this 100%.

"Pfft..." Seeing Yukinoshita's accepting expression, Uesugi Genshin suddenly seemed to have thought of something and chuckled.

"What's wrong?" With a slightly angry expression that seemed to say "What are you laughing at?", Yukino Yukinoshita was certain that it was related to her.

"I'm thinking..." Uesugi Genshin said, a smile still lingering on his face, "If you go there to enroll, there's a high chance you'll be assigned to Class D."

Class D?

After hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita was basically convinced that Class D must be the worst class. Since only Class A could enjoy most of the school's resources, then Classes B, C, and D must be ranked in descending order.

"So which class are you in?" she asked, her temper flaring up in a defiant manner.

"A or B, I guess?" Uesugi Genshin smirked smugly, purely pleased with his victory in the banter.

In reality, A or B is completely meaningless to him.

Since Horikita Manabu is still at Advanced Nurturing High School, whether he is a second or third year student, even if I had enrolled at that time, I would have been in the same year as him or in the same year as the next year's Nangumo Masaru.

Neither of them is very interesting; both are extremely stable two terms.

They face either the upright Horikita Manabu leading Class A to stand out from the crowd, or the insidious Nagumo Masaru dominating and solidifying the entire grade.

"Because Advanced Nurturing High Schools seem to value students' own problems and past experiences more than their current abilities." Glancing at Yukino Yukinoshita, who seemed a little sullen, Genshin Uesugi gave the answer during a break from driving.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent, feeling even more depressed.

She admitted that she did have some problems in the past, and looking back now, she felt that she was not a good person a few months ago.

“So you understand.” Uesugi Genshin tilted his head. “Even though you’ve always been excellent, I can already guess why you’ll be assigned to Class D. It’s simply because you lack empathy and teamwork skills.”

As he spoke, Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and said leisurely, "She needs strong correction to be sent out of society, so we assigned her to Class D."

"And what about you? You weirdo classmate who doesn't have a single friend, you must have great social skills, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita gently pointed out his shortcomings. He clearly didn't have many friends either, so why did he have to spout such nonsense?

"I'm different. I still have Hachiman as a friend. Besides, writing and exercising every day already take up a lot of my time. I'm practically halfway into society, so how can I have time to make superficial friends in class?"

"..."

Not wanting to disturb him while he was driving, Yukino Yukinoshita tugged at his clothes tightly, her sullen and haughty expression making it impossible to look away.

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault." Uesugi Genshin apologized while knocking away several zombies. "I just said there was a high probability that if you had disguised yourself, the class assignment results would have been different."

This is highly subjective.

After coughing a few times, he concluded, "In short, the vast majority of those who enter D are problematic people. Many are ticking time bombs ready to explode at any moment. The rest have more or less deficiencies in terms of grades and personality."

"And some students with minor issues will be deliberately assigned to lower-level classes." He glanced at Yukinoshita as if examining her.

"It's for competition, isn't it?" The clever Yukino Yukinoshita immediately guessed the answer. If it's going to be a competition, then if you have no strength at all, wouldn't that be a complete victory for Class A?

"Yes, but because Class A and Class B are mostly composed of students with high obedience, although it is nominally a competition, the classes that ultimately have the freedom to choose are basically Class A or the original Class B led by a special leader."

How could a class that was deemed defective from the outset become a product that the school would release to the public? Or perhaps one or two such instances would suffice.
