(Y/N)'s POV

I rode the bus to school, bobbing and shaking in my seat, my eyes were watery from the drowsiness. As the time passed, the bus picked up more and more passengers. Most of them were young people wearing high school uniforms, and there was a frustrated salary worker, as well as an unsteady elderly woman who stood in front of me.

As a good citizen, I probably should offer up my seat, but the sleepiness get the best of me. My eyes were growing heavy, and when I was about to doze off, a voice interrupted my sleep.

"Excuse me, but shouldn't you offer up your seat?"

I kept my eyes half-opened, and saw a woman scolding a blond guy that sat peacefully in his seat. As I looked closely, the man was seating in the priority seat, and the woman stood in front of him, stood beside her was the elderly woman.

"This is a priority seat, I think you should let this poor lady to sit down."

(Y/N): 'Owh, I thought she was talking to me.'

"I don't understand. Priority seats are just that: priority seats. I have no legal obligation to move. Since I'm currently occupying this seat, I should be the one who determines whether or not I move. Am I supposed to give up my seat just because I'm young? Ha! That reasoning is nonsense."

The man crossed his legs and stared back at the woman. I realized both of them were attending the same school as I do.

(Y/N): 'Well, he's not wrong.'

"But, you can contribute to this society, and the lady seems to have trouble standing." said the girl, pleading him.

"I have no interested in contributing to the society, and why should I be the one to contribute, why don't you ask the other people who are sitting in this crowded bus?" the man countered back.

"It's okay, young lady. Thank you." said the elder lady.

I decided not to intervene, one reason is that I partially agreed to the statement made by that blond guy, but mostly because I am very sleepy, the current situation couldn't intrigue me. So I decided that I better resume my nap.

I couldn't get a few seconds sleep, because of another voice came from my behind.

"Umm, you can have my seat."

A girl with black hair stood up and offered her seat to the elderly woman.

"Thank you my dear."

I took a second to process everything before felt asleep. Apparently, I felt asleep faster than I thought, and my head fell on the shoulder of an unknown girl seated beside me. Even though I closed my eyes, I can still feel that the person next to me is annoyed. Fortunately, the bus arrived at school sooner, and I leave before she could say anything else.

... (That means timeskip!)

I stood in front of the school gate formed from natural gate. All the young boys and girls dressed in school uniforms were passing through this gate.

Advanced Nurturing High School, a school established by the Japanese government to nurture the young people who will support the country in the future. It boasts a 100% employment and college entry rate, and with thorough, state-directed teaching methods, it spares no effort in pursuing the nation's desired future.

Well, I personally couldn't care less... Seriously, I only hoped that I could spent a three year peacefully and uneventful in this school. (Well, we both know that that's not gonna happen)

I began to walk towards the entrance.

"Hey, wait a minute."

(Y/N): Huh?
