Chapter 1: Saiki Kusuo's Classroom of Merit

"For a high school, the amount of surveillance seems a bit too much."

At this very moment, a boy was standing in front of a school gate, thinking to himself.

She had a fairly pretty face, with a pair of green glasses perched on her nose and a pair of lollipop-shaped hair accessories on her pink hair.

Kusuo Saiki is a superpowered individual with a wide variety of abilities that are constantly evolving. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he has always kept his identity hidden and pretended to be an inconspicuous ordinary person.

Today is his first day of high school.

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the conspicuous sign at the school gate.

A highly developed higher education institution.

Originally, he just wanted to go to an ordinary high school, live an ordinary life, and avoid the attention of others as much as possible. However, he never expected that his older brother, Saiki Kusuke, would persuade their parents with the reason that "there is no tuition fee and no need to worry about living expenses" and use his connections and resources to send him to this high school.

Kusuo Saiki had no affection for his older brother, who possessed an exceptionally high IQ but had a twisted personality. He knew very well that Kusuke Saiki's request for their parents to send him to this special school was definitely not for any good reason. During the entrance exam, Kusuo Saiki even planned to deliberately fail so that the school would reject him. However, after using his telepathy to learn from the proctor that the school had the most luxurious cafeteria in the country, he ultimately chose to keep his grades at a relatively average level and successfully enrolled.

Although today is the first day of school, Kusuo Saiki had already used his superpowers to observe the school's environment and was very clear that this school was different from others.

.....

The opening ceremony, class assignments, and student introductions... For Kusuo Saiki, these things were quite troublesome, especially the self-introduction part.

Kusuo Saiki didn't care who his classmates were. To him, this school was just a transitional station for him to pretend to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life. There was no need to establish too many connections with the people around him. However, in order to hide his identity and appear as inconspicuous as possible in this school, Kusuo Saiki couldn't refuse these arrangements.

Moreover, by using his psychopathic abilities, Kusuo Saiki already had a certain understanding of his classmates before he even introduced himself.

Kusuo Saiki can easily hear their thoughts. Even though he cannot exert his true power due to the existence of a limiter, he can still hear the thoughts of almost all living beings within a 200-meter radius. This superpower is always active, which is one of the troubles of being a superpowered person.

These people are just a burden; I will catch up with my brother through my own efforts.

I want to make friends with everyone!

You need to find a suitable target to protect yourself.

Just by listening to the thoughts of these people, Kusuo Saiki already knew that there seemed to be very few normal people in this class.

Some people want to surpass their older brothers, some want to stand out in a new environment, and some seem to have similar thoughts to Kusuo Saiki, wanting to hide themselves as much as possible in school.

Kusuo Saiki didn't care about these things, nor did he want to have much contact with these people. He just wanted to have a relatively peaceful high school life and try his best not to attract too much attention.

However, these people's inner thoughts are really too noisy.

After going through these tedious but necessary procedures, Kusuo Saiki and his companions finally began their first class at the school.

......

"I am the homeroom teacher of Class D, Chabashira Sae."

"Classes will not be changed at this school."

"I will be your class teacher for the next three years until graduation."

On the classroom podium, a young woman who called herself Chabashira Sae spoke slowly.

She wore a black shirt that couldn't hide her impressive curves, and her slender legs were encased in black stockings under her black skirt.

Chabashira Sae possesses a remarkably refined appearance, yet her gaze holds a sharpness that shouldn't be present in a teacher's profession, while her voice seems to carry a hint of indifference and negativity.

"First, I will distribute the school's materials, from front to back. Our school has a special rule that during the school period, students are restricted from leaving the school and from all external communication."

As Chabashira Sae spoke, the students below the stage mostly showed expressions of surprise.

At this moment, the voices of the other students around him echoed in Kusuo Saiki's ears.

Are we not allowed to leave the school?

I didn't bring any spare clothes!

What kind of rule is this? It's so inhumane!

None of the students made a sound, since their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, was on the podium, and Saiki Kusuo could clearly hear their thoughts.

'Can't I go home?'

Upon hearing Chabashira Sae's words, Saiki Kusuo's expression remained unchanged; possessing the ability to teleport, he was completely unrestricted.

Even if the school is very far from his home, he can teleport back in an instant.

Therefore, no matter what outrageous school rules this higher education institution has, it has no impact on Kusuo Saiki.

Moreover, this school is a pretty good place for Kusuo Saiki.

"...But don't worry, the school has all kinds of facilities, and you can buy all the necessities of life, including entertainment."

Chabashira Sae continued.

Upon hearing these words, Kusuo Saiki's lips curled up slightly, which was precisely the purpose of his early arrival at the school to conduct his investigation.

Using telekinesis and teleportation, they arrived at the school ahead of time, then used invisibility to avoid surveillance and carefully observed the entire structure of the school.

With its cinemas, karaoke rooms, and libraries, this school boasts a full range of entertainment facilities, making it unlike any other high school—it's practically a mini-city.

Although Kusuo Saiki doesn't have many hobbies, watching TV and reading novels by himself are among them, especially mystery films and novels.

Saiki Kusuo's overwhelming superpowers mean he never encounters anything unexpected in his daily life, which makes his life somewhat boring. However, his mental powers are useless in a fictional world, and the unpredictable plot twists are what make him enjoy reading mystery novels.

Chapter Two: School Rules? I Already Known

This school boasts incredibly abundant resources, encompassing a vast collection of books and movies from around the world, and even a private cinema, which is what makes Kusuo Saiki quite satisfied.

The most crucial point is that this school has an amazing cafeteria with a wide variety of delicious food, especially desserts, which are incredibly diverse.

For Kusuo Saiki, nothing in this world is more important than dessert.

This is why Kusuo Saiki was willing to come to this strange school to report for duty.

As long as it doesn't exceed common sense, students at this school can buy anything.

"...In addition, everything in this school can be purchased with points. Points are automatically deposited on the first of each month. One point is worth one yen. This month's 100,000 points have already been deposited into your accounts."

As she spoke, Chabashira Sae picked up a device that resembled a mobile phone, which was the terminal used by all members of the school.

'One hundred thousand yen a month.'

Kusuo Saiki lowered his head and looked at the interface displayed on his terminal screen, which clearly showed 100,000 points.

One hundred thousand a month is much more than the pocket money my family gives me.

Although Kusuo Saiki possesses superpowers, he does not abuse them for personal gain. He usually just uses the pocket money given to him by his family to buy sweets.

With 100,000 yen, he could basically afford to have desserts every month.

"One hundred thousand?!"

"real or fake?!"

"Hey!"

Upon seeing the enormous sum appear in their accounts, almost all the students in the classroom gasped in surprise, while some already wore eager smiles.

However, Kusuo Saiki remained relatively calm—using his telepathic abilities, he had already learned the true rules of the school from Sae Chabashira's mind.

These points are related to the student's 'value'; basically, it can be said that a student's performance in school is positively correlated with the points they can earn.

This campus is equipped with a large number of surveillance cameras that monitor students' every move at all times, score them, and divide classes into four levels: A, B, C, and D. The higher the rating of a class, the more points it receives.

Currently, Kusuo Saiki is in Class D, which is predicted to be the worst class.

[As expected, almost all of them had expressions of surprise. They were just a rabble made up of flawed individuals.]

These guys will probably run out of points soon.

[It seems unlikely that I'll be able to advance to Class A.]

At this moment, Kusuo Saiki had already read Chabashira Sae's thoughts.

"Oh, I see. The whole class is graded together. I don't want to interfere too much, but I can't let all the points I'm supposed to get be deducted, otherwise I won't have money to buy coffee pudding."

At this very moment, Kusuo Saiki was also thinking the same thing.

With Saiki Kusuo's superpowers, he can remotely control and adjust electronic and mechanical equipment without any contact or indirect contact with the target machine. He could even directly modify his points to infinity. However, doing so would definitely arouse the suspicion of the school and could cause considerable trouble later, so he will not do so at present.

"This school measures students based on their abilities."

"Being able to get into this school shows that you also have corresponding value."

"That's the situation for now. Today is your first day, so please familiarize yourselves with the school."

After giving a few brief instructions, Chabashira Sae left the classroom.

As she walked down the corridor, Chabashira Sae immediately picked up her terminal, on which was projecting the student files of her class onto the screen.

Before these students enroll, the school conducts assessments and interviews to determine their abilities and potential in various areas.

What caught Chabashira Sae's attention a little were two students in the class. Both of them were personally selected by Chairman Sakayanagi and were not assigned to Class D, but their entrance exam scores were very average.

One of them was Kusuo Saiki.
