After opening the envelope placed alongside the acceptance letter and reading its contents, Hachiman Hikigaya and his sister looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother, tell me, when did you decide to transfer to another school?"
"Hey, don't just accuse people randomly. This kind of admission notice with an unknown origin looks like a scam, doesn't it?"
Hachiman Hikigaya hurriedly explained to his sister, tossing the envelope aside.
"Is it really?"
Hikigaya Komachi looked on with suspicion.
"I promise that as an older brother, I would never lie to my younger sister."
"I'm so sure," Hachiman Hikigaya said confidently.
"Besides, why would you believe that a place like Academy City, a name I've never even heard of, would have such a meaningless name?"
"So, this was a prank?"
"Isn't this a prank? I wouldn't even know where this place is if you didn't tell me. As for transferring schools, shouldn't you need the consent of a guardian? How can someone just send out an acceptance letter on their own?"
After hearing what Hachiman Hikigaya said, Komachi Hikigaya nodded.
"That makes sense. So, what about this acceptance letter..."
"I'll throw it away in a bit."
All that could be heard was Hachiman Hikigaya speaking.
"No, let's stay here for now."
Komachi Hikigaya shook her head at this.
"Even if it's just a prank, there won't be any problem staying, and... what if it's real?"
Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with his sister's suggestion.
Considering his interpersonal relationships, there doesn't seem to be anything that would warrant someone sending a special package as a prank. And as Komachi said, there won't be any problem keeping it anyway. If it really is a prank, then we can just throw it away in a couple of days.
And so, the next day...
As usual, Hachiman Hikigaya walked into the classroom at Soubu High School and went to his seat.
Good morning, Hachiman.
Ayaka Totsuka stepped forward and greeted Hachiman Hikigaya.
"Good morning."
He nodded to her; the "girl" before him, who was like an angel, was almost his only friend in this school.
Unfortunately, it was a man.
Soon, it was time for class to start...
Just before the school bell was about to ring, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Hiratsuka Shizuka stood outside the classroom, looking at the students.
For some reason, Hachiman Hikigaya always felt that the other person's gaze carried a strange expression when looking at him and his classmates.
"Excuse me, the students whose names I'm about to call, please come out with me."
......
Chapter 135: The Confused Crowd, the Transfer Scandal
"Excuse me, the students whose names I call next, please come out with me."
"Hayama Hayato, Totsuka Ayaka, Hikigaya Hachiman, Yuigahama Yui..."
Several names were called out in a row, some familiar and some unfamiliar. The students whose names were called stood up in confusion and walked out of the classroom.
"Is there something you wanted to talk to us about, Ms. Hiratsuka?"
Upon arriving outside the classroom, Hayato Hayama, being the highest-ranking member of the group, naturally stood at the front and asked Shizuka Hiratsuka a question.
"Ugh, those damn 'normies'."
Hachiman Hikigaya, standing among the crowd, clicked his tongue at the sight, but didn't seem to have any objections.
After all, even if he says he's a "real-life person," it doesn't mean he actually wants to be one.
Moreover, he was also curious about why Ms. Hiratsuka had called them out.
As a student, being called out by a teacher alone will certainly not lead to the immediate thought of a positive outcome. Most people will probably wonder if they have done something wrong recently that led to being pulled out for a lecture.
Fortunately, this was not Hiratsuka Shizuka's purpose this time.
"Let's talk in my office first."
He led everyone to the office, where Hiratsuka sat quietly in a chair, unusually not smoking, with a serious expression.
"The main reason I called you here is that there is something I must inform you."
"You're transferring schools."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke.
"what???"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the office exchanged bewildered glances.
"Transfer schools? Why?"
Why do you want to transfer schools?
"It's perfectly fine right now."
As expected, after Hiratsuka Shizuka finished speaking, there were immediately sounds of confusion.
"Transferring schools? You're not kidding, are you?"
Even Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been in a lazy mood, became unusually serious.
"Transfer schools? So sudden... wait... could it be...?"
Suddenly, I recalled the acceptance letter in the package yesterday, and that inexplicable admission notice. Even the dead fish eyes on the signboard of Hachiman Hikari stared a little wider.
"Um, teacher, why do we need to transfer schools? And shouldn't transferring schools require discussing it with our parents? And what about all the procedures and stuff..."
Just then, Yui Yuigahama raised her hand with a conflicted expression and asked.
"You don't need to worry about that."
All that could be heard was Hiratsuka Shizuka speaking.
"Someone will handle the paperwork for you, and someone will also communicate with your family. As for why you suddenly need to transfer schools..."
"You should all have received your acceptance letters yesterday, right?"
"yesterday?"
After hearing what Hiratsuka Shizuka said, the others immediately recalled that they had indeed received an admission notice yesterday.
"The admission notice in that package?"
"Is that really true?"
"Huh? So you guys received it too. I thought it was just me, or that it was a prank."
"I also thought it was fake."
"Wouldn't any normal person think that way?"
------
"Hachiman, did you receive that too?"
Totsuka Saika turned to compare her head with Hachiman Hikaya and asked him.
"Hmm, that thing looks quite exquisite. I was originally planning to throw it away."
Hachiman Hikigaya nodded in response.
"Teacher, do you know what Academy City is? Why were we invited to enroll?"
Standing at the front, Hayato Hayama spoke again, while the others stared intently at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
After all, compared to them, Hiratsuka Shizuka clearly seemed to know more about that place called Academy City.
No one would be immune to the urge to suddenly transfer from a familiar place to an unfamiliar one, so everyone wants to know more about the situation.
"Academy City... To be honest, I don't know much about it either, but normally, you guys being invited to enroll in a place like that should be considered extremely lucky."
Hiratsuka Shizuka calmly offered her explanation.
"Academy City was jointly established by major Japanese conglomerates and the government to gather elites from across the country with the aim of cultivating talents beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"
"Besides that, all I know is that the teaching staff there is exceptionally strong."
Even now, Hiratsuka Shizuka is secretly alarmed as she recalls the brief introduction to Academy City that was sent to her along with the notification she received yesterday.
There's no other reason than that such a gesture was simply too extravagant. Even now, Hiratsuka Shizuka tries to be as conservative as possible, worried about scaring her students.
Even she herself doubted whether such an extravagant gesture could really be created by a few large conglomerates working together with the government.
"So that's it."
Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's explanation, the students, who didn't yet have a concrete concept of Academy City, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from Hiratsuka Shizuka's description, this was clearly a good thing. A place for cultivating elites, established by several large conglomerates together with the government, gave them some peace of mind.
Hiratsuka Shizuya noticed these reactions, but she didn't explain further. After all, when the time came, they would naturally understand how exaggerated reality was.
"Um, teacher, I'm just an ordinary student, not some kind of elite."
Just then, Yui Yuigahama, one of the crowd, raised her hand and said nervously.
"Did you call the wrong person?"
Upon hearing this, the others also realized what was happening.
Yes, according to Professor Hiratsuka's explanation, Academy City gathers elites, but most of them are just ordinary students and can't be considered elites at all.
"You don't need to worry about that. I have carefully checked the list and there are absolutely no wrong names."
