Houtarou Oreki Classroom of the Elite

"Starting with you, transfer 50,000 points to me!" Kakeru approached Daichi.

Daichi had been the most defiant against him, but also the one who'd been beaten up the worst. Yesterday, he had already softened up from his tough attitude.

But the other students probably still thought this guy was tough, so Kakeru decided to start collecting Points from him.

However, when asked to do so, a conflicted expression appeared on Daichi's face.

"?" Kakeru found this expression unusual.

Glancing at the other students, he noticed they all had conflicted expressions too.

Were they unwilling to hand over the Points? Indeed, a new student's ID card has 100,000 Points, so they probably don't want to give away half of it for free.

"I know you're all a bunch of stupid pigs." Kakeru said, his words unusually harsh, "Without my leadership, not only will you not get any points next month, but you'll also live in poverty and might even have to drop out in the future! So I'm only asking for 50,000 points from you. Is that too much? Don't you know this isn't much!"

He still thought the students were unwilling to pay.

"Ryūen, saying it's all about strength — isn't that just your one-sided opinion? Do you have any proof? Why should we believe you?" A blue-haired girl stood up and said directly, looking at him with a distrustful and stubborn gaze.

"It's Ibuki, right?" Kakeru said, pointing out the name of the girl who was defying him, "You're still not convinced?"

This was Mio Ibuki. When he said he'd even hit girls, he was referring to her.

Her family runs a martial arts dojo, and Mio herself has some martial arts foundation. She was defeated by him. Seeing that even she lost, the ordinary girls also gave up directly, acknowledging his leadership.

Actually, Kakeru valued her quite a bit.

After entering this school and discovering how special it was, he began to work on consolidating the class. After all, in a school where strength is everything, being assigned to Class C means they're not expected much by the school.

So, the only thing to do is to climb up. And to climb up, it's one thing for a class to have various useless members, but if there are different voices speaking up, then it's impossible to move up. So he wanted to make it so only he could speak.

He came from a delinquent background, and in his previous school, he was either fighting or skipping class. He believed in the power of fists. So coming to this school, he still used the same approach.

Although Mio was a girl, she had a straightforward personality. And her fighting ability was decent.

Kakeru thought people like her were easy to control, and at the same time, someone who could persist in martial arts training showed inner resilience. So she could be absorbed as a team member.

Yes. Most of the students in the class were idiots, and even though he believed in his own strength, he also felt... it was a bit difficult. So he still needed to form a small team to assist him.

And Mio could be one of them. Albert, this 2-meter-tall, super muscular mixed-race guy, had already become his bodyguard. Then Daichi softened up yesterday, so he could also join. There was also the bespectacled boy in the class, Satoru Kaneda, whose academic ability was good, and he could think well too. He was a talent in terms of academic ability and brain power.

Regarding her claim that his assertion about the school's focus on strength was one-sided, Kakeru was prepared. He had recorded conversations with senior students as evidence. However, he also needed to consider which other classmates could potentially join his inner circle.

As he pondered this, his phone chimed with a notification:

『50,000 Points have been credited to your account!』 

『Sender - Hiyori Shiina』

"..."

Kakeru and the entire class turned to look at the source of this unexpected development.

There stood a breathtakingly beautiful girl with silver-white straight hair and delicate features. She was Class C's flower — stunningly gorgeous.

Despite her beauty, Hiyori was introverted, often declining invitations from classmates. She had even refused Shiho's offer to join the store-opening plan.

Yet now, she had willingly transferred 50,000 Points to him.

Kakeru realized his inner circle could accommodate one more member.

While Hiyori's beauty didn't interest him — given his delinquent background and preference for strength — he saw beyond her appearance. The reason he wanted her to join his team was simple:

He recognized her wisdom.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

As soon as Houtarou returned home, he got back into bed.

〖 Do you want to use the Precognitive Dream? 〗

'Yes!'

Gaining the ability of Precognitive Dreams was a superpower, even compared to Teleportation. For Houtarou, it also had practical benefits. For instance, he could foresee when his college-aged sister would come home. Then he could avoid her...

After all, not every brother enjoys being teased by his sister.

As he pondered this, a scene materialized in his mind.

〖 I think, for someone like me, the only thing I can do is marry Houtarou. 〗

"??"
