A Return to School (TensuraxCote)

The President Is An Interesting Person

My conversation with Fuka flowed naturally as we exchanged jabs at the other before I decided to stop the conversation as I saw Kiyo entering the convenience store and....interacting with a girl?

'Kiyo going out of his way to start a conversation with someone other than me...this is a monumental moment....I need a record of this. Guess it's time to be practically invisible.'

I held up my hand to have Fuka hold up for a moment saying I wanted to buy some materials and make her dinner for the first time in a while, along with getting a record to tease Kiyo. In response she looked at me and sighed saying she'd make a call while I did that.

I was curious as to who she'd call but I decided to not ask as I walked into the convenience store. I already walked making almost no sounds at all so it was a simple task to almost fully erase my presence, and since Kiyo here saw me walk off with Fuka I doubted he'd be watching out for me in particular.

As I got a record of Kiyo and the black haired cool beauty I picked up some basic ingredients to make a simple meal consisting of a traditional Katsudon, tamagoyaki, and a rich miso soup. I also made sure to get ingredients to cook meals for a few days worth just in case. I then like Kiyo had witnessed something peculiar that piqued my interest.

'Free? Three items per month. I can see the possibility of students overspending, in particular some like that green haired buffoon, that red haired boy who's making a scene, and a vast majority of class D students based on what I observed during the ceremony.'

I began to ponder over the need for free items and what they hold in meaning to the S-System. But I got a devilish idea.

'Heh. Kiyo never interacted with girls(our age) during the few months we lived together. I'll be recording the rest of his interaction with this girl to tease him later. I'll say something like "Whoa a girlfriend day 1. Trying to take over the school one girl at a time?" He'd probably be slightly bothered by this if anything but it seems more fun than thinking about the S-System considering. I just realized'

I sighed heavily as I began to record Kiyo.'I already figured a decent bit of it out. We get more points each month based on merit and evaluation. There exists another type of points that isn't individual or private and based on the refusal to answer questions from teachers and Fuka I can infer that all will be revealed as the year progresses. For now being a normal student and experimenting is the best thing I can do. Though I may get rid of that green haired idiot and that two-faced girl in Class-D.'

I decided to stop that thought there as I hadn't found a target for Class-C and based on the looks of Class-B my target wouldn't matter as they'd all come together to prevent it regardless of the person.

Kiyo decided to be a "good samaritan" by paying for his classmates cup ramen. I was aware of the possibility that he'd held ulterior motives but I couldn't care less as something more interesting came from the words of an idiotic senior.

'Well recording this moment has come in very handy. Anything can be bought in this school right? So my seniors can be a good experiment to get some concrete answers. Afterall when someone doesn't want to answer a question all you need is some incentive. The absentminded words of my seniors have helped me immensely. Who knows I could find an interesting senior to play with for a while.'

I paid for my groceries totalling 12,500 points since I bought some extra stuff with the food. I messaged Fuka who was still on the phone somehow. She waved her hand knowing I saw it signaling me to do what I want but she motioned she'd be done in 5-10 minutes?

She really is acting different. I couldn't help but wonder who she was talking to but I let it go as I trailed my seniors till I saw them enter an alley. I noticed as we walked through the school countless cameras and I had a feeling there was a purpose behind them but I knew there wasn't one in this alley as I had looked down it while I walked with Fuka. Though far away a single camera did view this area.
