The blonde lady led me to my seat in the assembly hall, and I obediently sat there. Her chest sure is enormous. Since she'll definitely notice if I take a peek, so I'm trying my best to get her boobs at the edge of my sight by positioning myself diagonally to her rear. If you position yourself like this, your target would still think you're walking by her side while perfectly looking to the front.
You can try this if you want to secretly look at someone's boobs. But I can't guarantee anything were something happened though…
Okay, the entrance ceremony is about to start, marking the start of my school life, yet I noticed that there's not so many people around me. I think the seats are divided by classes, but there's only about 15 students around me.
The other classes seems to have around at least 40 students, what on earth could have happened?
On top of that, there's only 3 boys. One of the boys has been giggling creepily for a while now…That guy seems bad. My instinct tells me that he's completely an existence from the other side, an existence which I shouldn't get involved with. The other student that I find attractive is the girl on the most front row, I can only see a part of her face, but I think she's probably pretty cute. The others are just so-so, I think…
This isn't like in the game where you could find a girl with pink hair, or girl with animal ears and tails.
Well, that's reality for you… I wish I was reborn in another world where I get cheat-like powers and with a harem waiting for me…
Even so, I guess you can consider this world as a different world, where the history is different with the world I lived in. As I was thinking about trivial things like that, an old man starts speaking on the podium.
"Next, an opening speech from the representative of the freshmen. The New Student Representative, Ms. Aikawa Megumi of the Special Class."
Hmmm… We have special class in this school. As expected from the world class academy. As I was impressed by such a thing, the girl student that I found attractive, stands up and left her seat. Uhh… Wait a sec?
AM I ON THE SPECIAL CLASS——!?
Wh-why, wait just a second! Why am I on the special class!?
Aikawa climbs into the podium as I was getting all panicked by myself. Ah, yeah, I thought so, she's cute after all…
NO! It's not the time!
Okay, after this, I'll go meet the principal, and asks her to put me into a regular class. This special class is definitely not a place for me.
Eh? Aikawa-san's looking over here. Why is she looking this way? Eh…More like, why she's glaring at me? Did I do something wrong to her?
I've had enough… I haven't do anything yet, I don't deserve this… I wanna go home.
—- Aikawa Megumi POV —-
After the vice-principal call for me, I get into the podium. As I was going with my speech for the students, a certain male student caught my eye. "Arakawa Kouki"… the son of the genius scholar "Arakawa Miki", he was enrolled to this school without any entry test. All students took the test and earned their right to enroll here, except for him. He's here, all because his parent is a genius. Of course, I'm sure he's a got a decent academic abilities since he's the son of that Arakawa Miki.
But what if he doesn't? I can't endure the thought that an average person is being here, moreover in the Special Class. If he turns out to have no special talents, I'll do whatever it takes to drive him out of this school. I'll talk and declare it to him after this entrance ceremony. So I glared onto him.
—- Arakawa Kouki POV —-
After the entrance ceremony, I went to my class and sat on my seat. I'm glad that the seating position is already provided on the chart sticked on the wall…
The only thing I'm worried, is that I'm sitting right next to this "oink!" boy. Saitou-kun, well, as soon as he sat down, he opened his personal device and he's been reading books since then, so I guess it's not really a problem.
I guess there's always this kind of guy in every classes. Though I'm sure there's no delinquent-type in this school, so I guess I don't need to worry about bullying. I was just spacing off when suddenly, I heard a voice calling me.
"Arakawa-kun, do you have a moment?"
When I turned my back, it was Aikawa-san. She was glaring at me earlier.
I wonder why since I haven't done anything wrong yet, right?
Well, sure I was thinking it'd be nice if I could get close to her, but it's nothing to glare about, right?!
"What is it?"
After I gave her my consent, she started preaching me.
"Arakawa-kun, you might be special because you're the son of Arakawa Miki, but this is the State Technology Academy, especially you're on the Special Class. Know what I mean? It means that everyone here is special! You're not the only one special, mind you. And you didn't take any entry exam to get here right? Everyone's talking about it, you know?
No, please, I don't want to hear any excuses.
Everyone else took the entry exam and has every right to be here! Do you really have what it takes to be here? We have tests by next week, make sure you ranked top 10.
And if you don't, be fair for the others and leave this school. See you."
Eeeeeeh… What's with this girl, going on about by herself and left all satisfied like that? This is the first time I've seen somebody being that hysterical…
Seeing Aikawa-san and mom, I started to think that being a genius and being weird comes in a set…
And top 10 rank, there's no way I can do that… What should I do, do I have to quit this school?
Nah, as if I'd get worried by that. Who cares about that anyway. Firstly, there's no way a fellow student can do anything like getting other students expelled. What did I do to deserve getting glared at and yelled at like that… I'm usually the gentle type of person, but I could do get mad, bitch!
Well, I'm not going to say that to her directly though… I'm a gentleman after all. It's not like I got scared of her or anything, it's because I'm a gentleman.
As I was anguishing alone, the homeroom ended and the students are leaving. Oh, today's the first day so the class is only until noon. I'm so tired I wanna go straight home, but I guess I should stop by the cafeteria to have some lunch. This kind of occasion is a chance to make friends.
Who should I invite?
I wonder if anyone would go have lunch together with me after all that scene with Aikawa-san.
To the front… everyone's looking away…
To the right… everyone's looking away…
To the back… there's only lockers and wall there…
To the left… My eyes met with Saitou-kun.


Saitou-kun is looking at me!
—- Saitou Shingo POV —-
Arakawa-kun sure is a kind guy… He would have lunch together with someone like me. I don't know what to talk with him, so I tried telling him about animal trivias from the forum board that I was browsing with my personal device. Well, he'll probably have no interest in it, and he'll be making fun of me, it's just the same everywhere.
"Seriously! Doves gets confused and can't move if you turn them upside down!?"
He seems to like it. So I tried telling him another.
"No way! Polar bears are all left handed? How in the world could anyone proof that"
His response are so funny. After we're done with lunch and about to go home, Arakawa-kun asked for my device number and mail address. I feel so happy, and I told him my number and address as I suppress my excitement. As he went into his pick-up car, he told me to just give him a call anytime. In the past, people would always bully me, but now I finally got my first friend… I always hate being bullied, so I tried hard to get into this school, where there's probably no delinquent, now I'm glad I did.
I saw Aikawa-san picking a quarrel with Arakawa-kun, she's probably kind of an exception. But if she starts getting annoying, I'll expose and shame her on some forum board. More importantly, tonight I'm going to tell Arakawa-kun about the homepage that has many interesting animal trivias. As I thought about that, I feel that this is the first time my footsteps feel so light on the way home.
—- Arakawa Kouki POV —-
Man, Saitou-kun is such a good guy! He told me so many trivias I never even knew about. Sorry I thought of him as a weirdo at first, I'll eat lunch together with him tomorrow. At home, I also told Mom about him.
"It's good that finally you made a friend"
She said that with a smile. Oh right, now that I think about it, this is the first time I made a friend.
Right before I went to bed, a mail come from Saitou-kun. There was about 20 URLs of homepages with many interesting animal trivials. As I was about to fall asleep browsing those, I recalled a certain thing.
Ah, I forgot to ask the principal to move me to another class.
Oh well… At least there's Saitou-kun in that class.
