COTE - The Devilish Conqueror

Introduction

Once the teacher was gone, the newly rich students began to grow restless.

“Everyone, can you please listen to me for a moment?”

A student with the air of an upstanding young man quickly raised his hand. His hair wasn’t dyed, but I noted that it was strangely green colored? He looked like an honors student. Based on his appearance, I got the impression he wasn’t a delinquent.

“Starting today, we’re all going to be classmates. Therefore, I think it would be good for us to introduce ourselves and become friends as soon as possible. We still have some time until the entrance ceremony. What do you say?”

He had done something normal people won't be able to do. The majority of class responded to his suggestion pretty easily due to his confidence and friendly attitude. Coupled with his attractiveness, I'm fairly sure that he will get far in having a social standings in this school.

Someone like him would definitely end up being the most popular guy in the class, I could see the girls were already fawning over him.

Ah, future tool spotted.

“Agreed! After all, we still don’t know a thing about each other, not even our names,” someone shouted.

After the ice had broken, the previously hesitant students began to speak.

“My name’s Hirata Yousuke. Back in junior high, lots of people called me Yousuke. Feel free to use my first name! I guess my hobby is sports in general, but I especially like soccer. I’m planning on playing soccer here, too. Nice to meet you!”

After bravely introducing himself in front of the class, Hirata then began to make an outrageous suggestion.

“Well then, I’d like everyone to introduce themselves. Is that okay?”

A boy stood up straight while raising his head, a confidence smirk was plastered on his face.

“I’m Yamauchi Haruki. I competed in table tennis during elementary school, and in junior high I was the ace player on our baseball team. I was number four. I got hurt during the inter-high school championships, though, and I’m undergoing a rehab now. Nice to meet you.”

Wait, isn't the inter-high championship was a national sports competition for high school students?

Luckily for Yamauchi, Kushida quickly stood up and began to introduce herself, saving him from embarrassment if someone noticed his lie.

“My name is Kushida Kikyou. None of my friends from junior high made it to this school, so I’m alone here. I’d like to get to know all of your names and faces right away and become friends as soon as possible!”

While most of the students had only said a few words of introduction, Kushida continued to talk.

“My first goal is to become friends with everyone. So, after we’re finished with introductions, I’d love for you to share your contact information with me!”

Just like our first meeting, Kushida seemed really want to befriend everyone and I could see right away that basically everyone welcomed her with open hands. While it's true that Hirata was successful with his introduction, I could see some of the boys were looking at him with envy. But it was a different case with Kushida as everyone genuinely liked her.
