Real teaching, but diary flow

He couldn't be sure who had received the diary, but by testing them one by one in sequence, someone was bound to slip up.

Once he gets their specific identities, he can keep dropping targeted spoilers until they show emotional reactions.

"However... such advanced training." Looking at the words following the current plot in the diary, Asakusa Toru sighed softly, "Unexpectedly, it feels like it was just what I expected."

As mentioned before, this is a world that's a hodgepodge of various anime and manga.

This world has the Shinomiya Group, the Koenji Group, the Toyokawa Group, and the Suzuki Group. Except for the Speedwagon Group, it seems to have all the other major conglomerates.

A girl band that performs live everywhere, Hoshino Ai, a once-in-a-century idol, and a shut-in youth who was scared to death by a tractor.

Although no trace of supernatural phenomena has been seen yet, all kinds of characters from various works are present.

The reason why Asakusa Tetsu felt it was no surprise was quite simple.

He had contact with them.

Whether it's a masterpiece devoid of emotion, a sickly genius with a love-struck, white-stockinged loli, or a voluptuous, kind-hearted girl loved by everyone.

He has been in contact with them all.

Although he didn't know if the other party remembered his existence, Asakusa Tetsu was surprisingly not surprised at all that he had been admitted to Advanced Education and that even his cheat ability was related to them.

"Hopefully this won't be a flaw that exposes my identity." He shook his head and stopped thinking about the problem.

Now that things have come to this, there's no way for him to go back in time and undo anything. Thinking about it carefully, although keeping one's identity hidden is very important for the Diary Streamer, as long as one is careful, even if one's identity is exposed, it will be a long time from now.

"The important thing now is..."

As expected, it was time to settle the accounts.

First diary entry.

[Today's record completed, this record is rated 'A', currently drawing rewards]

[Successful draw! Congratulations on obtaining the item 'Infinite Recorder']

Black and white words floated before my eyes, and a cold voice echoed in my ears at the same time. The voice slowly dissipated, and the words gradually faded away.

Next, seemingly out of nowhere, fell a very ordinary-looking voice recorder.

Chapter 3 I'm a Recording Pen Master

"Infinite Recorder?" Upon hearing this name, Asakusa Tetsu's face immediately showed a strange expression.

The rating is A, which isn't too bad for a prop, but... 'the voice recorder', was it really not intentional?

According to his understanding, in the works of Classroom of the Elite (hereinafter referred to as Classroom of the Elite), the voice recorder is a rather overpowered prop. If not guarded against, it can almost kill everyone on the first encounter.

In a sense, practical teaching can even be called a classroom of recorder supremacy.

Incidentally, similar names include Classroom of the Power Supremacy and Classroom of the Background Supremacy.

Well, in essence, advanced education is just a vocational school, so this nickname isn't entirely wrong.

However, that's what they said, but it was quite strange that they gave him a voice recorder right at the beginning.

"...Never mind." He deliberately or unintentionally put it aside for now. Since it had already been given to him as a reward, he couldn't possibly refuse it even if it just sat there collecting dust. Although he had a strong urge to complain about the classroom setting for the recording pen, he had no reason to give up using it.

"Let's see first what makes it worthy of an A rating."

Grasping the falling recorder, Asakusa Toru carefully examined its appearance.

From its appearance, it seems to be just an ordinary voice recorder, with a black metal casing, a large screen and a few physical buttons. From the external design alone, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

So, the effect...

【Name: Infinite Voice Recorder】

【Category: Props】

[Effect: The voice recorder is always on. You can take it out from anywhere, anytime. You can freely choose to split the recording from any point in the past and generate a new voice recorder containing the selected recording range.]

[Note: "Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law!"]

The moment the thought arose, the information from the recorder in my hand was clearly displayed before my eyes.

“That’s interesting.” Asakusa Tetsu raised an eyebrow, a look of realization dawning on his face. “So that’s what ‘infinity’ refers to.”

Fortunately, "infinity" here does not refer to the brand of the voice recorder.

Although the reward for completing the daily diary is randomly drawn, it's still an A grade. It would be funny if I drew a voice recorder that I can't bring into the school before starting school.

If it's a voice recorder like this, even if it's a prize won before enrollment, it can be used on campus.

As for the issue of unknown origin... please, voice recorders are used to threaten others. Surely no one would choose to hand them over directly to the school instead of using recordings for negotiation?

As for why it's said that if it's not in this condition, it can't be brought into the school...

Let me briefly introduce advanced breeding.

The vocational school mentioned by Asakusa Tetsu is rumored to have a government background, and is nominally a training facility used by the government to select talent.

Tuition is free, and the school boasts a near 100% success rate in pursuing higher education and employment. Regardless of their chosen field of study, students can achieve their goals with the school's support.

Well, that's how it's presented in the publicity.

In addition, there is a promise that the school will cover all the students' expenses over three years.

However, as a price to pay, once enrolled, students are not allowed to leave the school without permission, and are also prohibited from contacting the outside world via mobile phone or the Internet.

Naturally, bringing anything from outside the school into the school is not allowed.

"Of course, only in terms of publicity." Asakusa Toru chuckled and muttered to himself.

Students who receive 100% admission and employment guarantees and school support do not include those who have been expelled.

If all students who do not meet the standards are expelled before graduation, wouldn't that ensure 100% talent development?

"Fortunately, whether it's a scam or not has nothing to do with me."

After all, for Toru Asakusa, even the so-called support from the government was not as valuable as a single hair in his diary.

Since cheats exist, we should naturally dedicate ourselves to developing them.

Who would still want to play some kind of vocational school brawl with them?

"All I need to do is observe closely to find out who got the copy of the diary, and then give away spoilers accordingly." Straightening up, Asakusa Tetsu stretched slightly, then casually raised his hand and tossed the recording pen he was holding toward the bed behind him.

The recorder traced a perfect parabola through the air, then bounced lightly on the bed before falling silent.

Without putting the recorder away again, Asakusa Tetsu casually reached into his pocket.

When the thought of a 'recording pen' popped into my mind, a new sensation quietly appeared in my palm.

He raised his hand, and there it was again—a recording pen exactly the same as the one he had just thrown.

The recording pen that he had just tossed onto the bed was still there, unharmed.

Upon seeing this, Asakusa Tetsu's lips curled into a slight smile:

"What a treasure trove of voice recorders!"

To be honest, a voice recorder does have some weight. As a projectile, if handled properly, even without a particularly sharp or pointed casing, its weight alone can cause considerable damage.

Okay, it's decided. Before I draw the reward that enhances my combat power in the later diary entries, I'll practice flying the voice recorder a little.

The saying goes that even picking flowers or flying leaves can cause harm. What if I had an endless supply of recording pens?

"Pfft." Just thinking about that scene made Asakusa Tetsu inexplicably want to laugh.

While others fight with knives and fists, he suddenly pulled ten recording pens from his trouser leg.

The painting style is unique.

"And then, besides the endless features... is there also a split recording effect?" Asakusa Tetsu pondered, his fingertips caressing the voice recorder, before pressing the end recording button and then playing it.

The only recording played back all the sounds from the past few minutes, from his mutterings to the soft thud of him throwing the recorder onto the bed—all were clearly captured in the recorder.

"Hey, even if it's not the same device, is the recording still shared?" A strange look appeared in his eyes, and his fingertips twitched as he swiped the small screen on the recorder. "As for segmentation..."

With that thought, the options that hadn't yet appeared in the program on the screen quietly appeared. Without him having to do anything, he could seemingly select any time period from now on and divide the recording simply by thinking about it.

Moreover, the segmented recording will appear as a complete recording from the beginning.

"You're forcing me to become the king of voice recorders..." Looking at the voice recorder in his hand, Asakusa Tetsu laughed: "But I don't hate it."

Who would complain about having too many hanging things?

Chapter 4: Kikyo Kushida Wants to Start Over

April, the first day of school.

Today, Advanced Education marks a new beginning as first-year students head to the school in their own ways to begin their three-year boarding school life.

The shadows of junior high, the dark history of junior high, the persona of junior high—all of it will be wiped away at this moment, and then the boys and girls will be able to have a completely new start.

Whether it's a past of being bullied or a nature you don't want others to see, you can start over as long as you change to a new environment.

That was what Kikyo Kushida originally thought.

—Before I saw that diary.

The person in charge said that the school was a vocational secondary school.

It says it has hijacked the past, present, and future of all readers.

They said they were going to give away spoilers.

The TA said that there is more than one two-faced person in this school.

To be honest, even after arriving here, Kikyo Kushida's emotions did not fluctuate at all.

It's easy for anyone to talk the talk, and even easier to deceive others by writing ambiguous words.

Just like so-called astrological divination, as long as you use some ambiguous statements that seem to apply to everyone, and let the reader identify with them, you can easily create the illusion that "ah, he understands me so well".

Two-faced? Ha, everyone has a surface and an inside, a true heart they don't want others to know, a true face they don't want others to see. If we were to broaden the definition of a two-faced person a little, Kikyo Kushida would dare to say that everyone can be called a so-called 'two-faced person'.

She knows far too many people's true colors behind the scenes.

Therefore, Kikyo Kushida dismissed it with disdain.

Until the next paragraph appeared.

Harboring intense inferiority complex, yearning for supreme superiority, suppressing malice deep within, a painful, tormenting, struggling, flawed product.

She was shaken.

The hand gripping the pages of the diary tightened unconsciously, and the gaze was fixed on the words 'inferiority' and 'superiority'.

He was talking about himself.

Without a doubt, the moment Kikyo Kushida saw this text, she knew that this guy wasn't lying.

They clearly understood their own nature, and even saw through to the deepest part of their heart beneath that nature.

That's right, it's a conflict between inferiority and superiority.

Her innate good looks once made her believe she was talented, and her above-average abilities allowed her to surpass everyone around her in her youth.

But as she grew older, and as she went through layers of selection for higher education, a true 'genius' appeared before her, easily shattering her pride.

A sense of inferiority arises spontaneously.

Kikyo Kushida is the kind of person whose emotions are greatly shaken whenever she loses to someone close to her.

But if we were to compare everything with everyone, everyone would probably lose.

They want something that is second to none, something that earns them respect and admiration.

But reading won't work, and neither will exercising.

She can't win.

There will always be someone who is born with talent, who can easily crush her efforts and leave her far behind.

Therefore, she chose 'trust'.

She can gain a sense of superiority as long as she can gain the trust of others more than anyone else.

This was the only 'talent' she was certain she could do, one that she wouldn't lose to anyone else.

...This is the true nature of Kikyo Kushida.
