The two teenagers continued to walk together towards the school building in search of their classrooms. Suzune seemed to be in a better mood than before because of their impromptu 'date' earlier, while Kiyotaka was still trying to digest everything he learned from his ridiculous 'power'.
Like anyone could stay calm after finding out that your apparent 'superpower' was actually a reality-bending cheat code that only seeks the happiness of a girl.
According to what they had agreed upon, the two teens would separate and find their respective classrooms on their own inside the building but to the surprise of both students, there was no need for them to go their own ways.
There was no need to do so, because they ended up in the same room after five minutes of walking through the school building.
"Who would have thought that we'd be classmates, Ayanokouji-kun?" Suzune remarked, staring at the classroom for a moment before turning to her companion.
"I didn't know you'd be a student of Class-D as well," Kiyotaka replied. "But I suppose this makes things easier, since we already know each other."
Suzune slowly nodded in agreement. "It does feel reassuring that I am already acquainted with one of my classmates."
With that, they walked inside and searched for a place to sit. They immediately noticed that the desks were decorated with nameplates of the person who was assigned to sit there, so they simply searched for their names among the various seats.
It led them to the back of the classroom, where they were apparently neighbors. Kiyotaka's desk was the one closest to the window, while Suzune was assigned to the one on his right.
"It appears that we're going to be neighbors," said Kiyotaka.
The girl only nodded as they took their seats and observed their classmates from where they were. Their classroom was already filled with a lot of people, and Kiyotaka took notice of what most of them were like.
Most of them were pretty normal for a bunch of teenagers; the girls were mingling with each other, while some were minding their own business. A few of the boys were the same. The rest of them... well, let's just say that they will likely kill themselves out of jealousy if they ever find out that Kiyotaka's life was basically a dating simulator now. It's what most boys of his age can only dream of experiencing.
"Ayanokouji-kun," Suzune called out to him, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Once again... thank you for listening. I have never told anyone about my brother before, let alone myself."

"Your gratitude isn't necessary. You looked like you needed someone to talk to, and I did. Quite frankly, I'm more surprised that you opened up to me that easily. You don't exactly strike me as a person who wants to have friends," he replied, dismissing the notification he received.
A small blush dusted the girl's cheeks. "You're not actually wrong about that..."
The young man still felt a bit overwhelmed and conflicted about all this but so far, this weird 'power' he possessed did nothing but work things out in his favor. It could even stop time indefinitely until he chooses from three 'choices' presented to him. Then there's also the 'skill' that apparently 'bends reality' itself just to make a heroine happy, which was still a scary thing to think about.
So far, the only disadvantage to this that he could think of was that the system had a mind of its own, therefore he couldn't control it to his whim. It also means that he has no idea how many 'heroines' it will take before the system is satisfied.
