Kiyotaka Of Class B ( Year 2 )

Prologue

I guess it's really happening huh ? Time surely flies fast

It has been exactly one year since the day i have arrived here, At the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, The most prestigious school in the entirety of Japan

Looking back at my last year, A lot has happened. We took a lot of Special exams and interacted with a lot of people, Friendships were built and destroyed, Relationships sailed and sank, Rivalry bloomed, A Lot of Scheming, Trickery, Deception, Blackmail, Winning and Losing, Cries of Happiness and cries of despair, Betrayals and a lot of People has left us to fight in this Battlefield

Looking back at last year, It has been nothing but Chaotic, There hasn't been a moment where tension subsided or where the sense of Rivalry extinguished. You could say that last Year has been nothing but hell. However, It really depends on the people you're talking with

For instance, A Class D Student would wholeheartedly agree with you that this is a hell. However, If you take a Student from Class A they would most likely disagree with it

Why ? Because this School is a meritocracy, Even if the Staff denies it, They cannot change the fact that it is. Sorting the best Students at the top and the worst in the Bottom and encouraging them to climb to the Top, While they are omniscient to the fact that they won't. The Level of Hypocrisy

However, Despite all of this, And despite a Class A Student being at the Top, They wouldn't be able to deny that they have also experienced some form of suffering during this period. Even i

I, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, A Student of Class A, Have a different opinion. This past year has been nothing but pleasant to me, Compared to my life before that.

I have been able to experience freedom, Despite that this School being a bigger cage than the White Room. I have gotten acquainted with many people i consider my friends now and experience Friendship, I have been able to taste many types of food and deserts and experience some parts of Childhood that i missed

And most importantly, I have an Important person that holds a very dear position inside of my heart, And i have been able to experience love

I have experienced and did many things you told me to do, So you can rest in peace now.... Matsuo-san

You are probabl- No, You are definitely the reason why i'm here in the First place, And have gotten this far. So i owe it all to you

You are the reason why i didn't fail my Introduction at the Start of the Year, Since i have practiced it with you beforehand

The reason why i wasn't awkward with people, Because you have taught me how to communicate

You told me to smile, So i did, Even if i didn't genuinely mean it

You've been nothing but kind to me, Even when knowing my background, And how corrupted i am.

To think i used to be wary of such a person when we first met, Makes me sickened with myself

You've been more of a Father figure to me than That Man could ever hope to be. You've treated me like your son even when we weren't biologically connected, And i have thought of you the same

I didn't forget your parting advice to try and find someone to love and hold dear to myself, Someone you can share your soul with.

The Reason why i choose the Beautiful existence knows as Ichinose Honami was because i foresaw a potential for a long-term Relationship with her, Which gives me more Chances to fall in love.

At first, I only saw her as an embodiment of Matsuo and rolled with it as the reason for why i love her. However, That changed later. When i started questioning my reasons for loving her, And before i knew it, I was already deeply in love

She is a precious person to me, Much like Matsuo-san.

You must be pretty happy if you're watching this Matsuo-san.

However, I have one request for you. Is to watch over us for the upcoming year

The First Year is rolling up, Opening the Stage for our Second Year Together. Which means, Opening the Stage for new Threats

Our life currently is under constant pressure, Under the threats of many things.

However, I must remember the person who i am

" Let's go Kiyotaka~ "

Even under all of those looming threats, I must remember who i am

I am the Masterpiece of the White Room

And i will never let go of this opportunity that you gave me Matsuo-san

I would never allow your sacrifice to be in vain

I took my first courageous steps forward, Picking up the pace with a newfound determination

Too many threats and a too precious thing

I have already lost enough

And i refuse to lose anybody else
