Classroom of the Elite: Happy Dorm

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Happy Welcome!

Freedom. Does everybody long for freedom?

I always wonder what it is like not to be bound by anything or anyone. Freedom was only a dream for me. I always thought of it as an unattainable dream. I always longed for it.

However, I was given such a rare opportunity. An opportunity to survive through my freedom. If I fail, I get punished. If I succeed, I will win and be free.

Succeeding to survive is what my whole life could be described.

So was me being freed from that place still freedom? I believe it is not. I believe freedom is broader and not just this narrow. It still feels like I was bound by something. I know this is not the freedom I expected but with this, I will get my future on my own.

I will decide my path freely without any intervention. His intervention won't matter to me as long as I survive.

Everything I have earned for myself, I will use it. My power, I will use all of it and obliterate anyone and anything that would hinder my progress towards my freedom.

I will make my dream come true with my own hands. I will create a future that that man has never considered. I will decide for myself and no one, nothing will change my mind.

That's how it was supposed to be.

That's what I expected it to happen...

So I ask, why must my expectations be shattered?

"Once again, let me say this. Welcome, new batches of elites! We, Advanced Nurturing High School, welcome you to this grandeur land of happiness and dreams! Here, you can create and fulfill your dreams and hopes! As you have all arrived here, you shall recognize each other equally! I wish you all the best..."

Why are people here so lively, carefree and cheerful? I don't understand. If this is really the society I stayed away from since birth, I must be birthed from the wrong person.

"......"

That's not good. Although I can say I want to be born from another, my mother is my mother. I haven't met her, but she's my mother. By blood or not, she will be my first-

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Hm...?"

I looked sideways and immediately came face to face with a beauty. This is an opportunity to befriend someone. She also looks quite amiable and friendly.

"I'd like to say that you should introduce yourself first but... Alright. I'm Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Class D."

"Oh, uhm, sorry about that. My name is Amikura Mako. I'm from Class B!"

She spoke in a very excited tone of voice.

"I see. Why did you talk to me, by the way?"

"Huh? Was I being too friendly? Sorry."

"No, not that. I just wanted to ask why you approached me when you have friends already."

I saw her a while ago talking with a beautiful pink-haired girl with another petite and cute girl.

"Ahaha... I just..."

She fidgeted and blushed while talking. Was she not feeling well? She might have a fever.

"I just wanted to talk, okay? I have no ulterior motive at all! Can you let it slide for now?"

"Hah. It's fine. I was just curious how could a dull guy like me attract someone as cute as you."
