This coaching is not right.

Ito Sawa sat on the bus, his gaze passing through the fleeting scenery outside the window, lost in memories.

Three years ago, he was unexpectedly transported to this world.

At the time, he had no idea that his life would undergo a dramatic transformation in that instant.

I thought I had just randomly found myself reborn in an ordinary other world, and I was prepared to cherish this opportunity and live a good second life, starting from middle school.

So he earnestly asked his classmates which high school in Japan was better.

After all, he was genuinely unfamiliar with Japanese schools.

But unexpectedly, this question brought a pleasant surprise.

"Aze, what's wrong with you? You don't even know this kind of question? Of course it's the famous Gao Yu!"

When he heard the answer, his heart sank.

Which Gao Yu?

"Of course it's the high-level education established by Lord Oni Island! Aze, what's wrong with you? Did you get stupid from being sick?"

“Let me tell you, we definitely have to try in three years. After all, if someone as lousy as my cousin was selected last year, we can definitely be selected too.”

Ito Sawa smiled helplessly, which was considered an acceptance of his promise.

However, he knew very well that Gao Yu's real admission mechanism was by invitation only.

If you don't receive an invitation from Gaoyu, no matter how amazing you are, you will be rejected by the interviewer.

Conversely, once you have an invitation, even if you're a loser like Lu Mingfei, you can still be selected by Gaoyu.

However, the advantage of Gao Yu over Kassel is that Gao Yu at least values ​​trainable comprehensive abilities, rather than vague bloodlines.

Therefore, as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to use these three years to get into Class A.

As for Ayanokouji's threat, as long as I take advantage of my foresight in the plot to strike first and suppress Sakayanagi, that arrogant jerk, I can more than keep my position in Class A.

Ito Sawa, who would later enter the academy, could never have imagined that his own ideas would cause him to miss out on the A-class admission ticket that was originally within his grasp.

But unaware of the consequences, he devoted himself entirely to studying and training.

The first step is to exercise to improve physical fitness and coordination.

Every morning, he would run and do strength training, and in the evening he would practice martial arts and reaction speed.

Secondly, there is the learning of knowledge.

He read extensively, from literature to science, from history to philosophy, constantly enriching his knowledge base.

He knew that only by possessing broad knowledge and a solid theoretical foundation could he stand out in the fierce competition for higher education.

For three years, Ito Sawa never relaxed his demands on himself. His goal was clear—to be selected by Gao Yu and directly enter Class A.

After all, no matter how much criticism this school receives, in this world, it is ultimately the fastest way for a genius without a background to stand out.

Finally, his efforts paid off.

A month ago, he received an invitation from Gao Yu, which was not only an affirmation of his three years of unremitting efforts, but also his ticket to a higher stage.

In both the written and oral exams, Ito Sawa successfully passed all the tests thanks to his knowledge and abilities.

He is now sitting on the bus to Gaoyu, filled with anticipation and excitement.

He knew that Gao Yu's life would be full of challenges, but he was prepared. He would use his abilities to prove his worth and realize his dreams.

Ito Sawa snapped out of his daze and heard Kushida Kikyo's voice in his ear; she seemed to be questioning Koenji Rokusuke.

It seems the original storyline has officially begun.

Ito Sawa was considering whether he should go up and help Koenji out of the predicament in order to gain some of his favor.

However, Koenji's answer left him stunned.

"I'm truly disappointed. I never imagined I'd be classified as being at the same danger level as such an idiot..."

Koenji's voice was tinged with obvious contempt.

"...It's really disappointing that even the examiners couldn't recognize him."

Ito Sawa stood there, stunned, and began to realize that something was wrong.

Koenji's reaction was completely different from what he had learned in the original work.

He seemed certain that he would be assigned to Class D.

How can this be?

Could it be that the seemingly ordinary old lady was actually an examiner?

He began to focus his attention on her, trying to discern something from her, but she was like a deep pool of water, revealing nothing.

Koenji noticed Ito Sawa's gaze and initially thought he might have already figured out the truth, so he looked over with great interest.

But seeing his confused expression, I quickly realized that this was not the case.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Koenji's face, then he turned away coldly, ignoring him completely. Ito Sawa, however, didn't see any of this.

He was still pondering Koenji's words, trying to sort out his thoughts.

If this examiner truly exists, and if Koenji really knows the examiner's identity, then it means he knows far more than is stated in the original story.

This is not a good sign.

This could mean that his future rival, Koenji, is far more formidable.

Or perhaps, this world is vastly different from the familiar world of Confucianism.

Neither of these is good news.

Ito Sawa took a deep breath, shook off the terrible thoughts in his mind, and decided to hold back for the time being.

He needs more information to understand this new situation.

So he began to carefully observe the students around him, trying to find clues from their behavior and conversations.

But he soon realized something was even more wrong.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and Suzune Horikita were nowhere to be seen on the bus.

In the original story, the four of them—Ayanokoji, Horikita, Kushida, and Koenji—met on the same bus.

However, he was startled to find that he could not see them, and felt that things had spiraled out of his control.

He knew very well that he couldn't possibly be mistaken; that meeting was for them to observe each other, it was part of the plot, and there was absolutely no way it would fall through.

But now, Ito Sawa didn't see them on the bus, which made him feel confused and uneasy.

Could it be that my time travel has caused such a big ripple that these two characters who were supposed to appear are absent?

Ito Sawa took a deep breath and decided to remain calm and continue observing the surrounding environment and people.

Now that things have changed, he should maintain a calm mind and keen observation so that he can adapt and respond quickly.

His gaze swept across everyone on the bus again, trying to find any possible clues, but so far he had not found any useful information.

After the lady next to her gave up her seat, the old lady sat there quietly, without anything strange about it.

What did Koenji mean by what he just said?

Is it a scam, or is there something else you haven't noticed?

Just as he was still pondering the matter, Gao Yu arrived.
