Beneath its elite facade lies a web of manipulation and deceit, where students will do anything to rise to the top. Determined to navigate this treacherous environment, Anekuri leverages her keen psychological insight to outmaneuver her peers. But as she becomes more entangled in the school's ruthless social games, she must decide how far she is willing to go to achieve her dreams without losing herself in the process. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and every action is calculated, can Anekuri maintain her integrity, or will she become just another manipulator in the classroom of the elite?

Main: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka Femain: Karuizawa Kei Couple: Kiyokei

After Ayanokouji Kiyotaka managed to shut down the White room with the help of some people and his father was executed for what he did. Ayanokouji decides that he doesn't want to live in the mansion due to it reminding him of the White room and his father and him wanting to escape his past. Ayanokouji gets the recommendation of chairman Sakayanagi, one of the people that helped him shut down that place, that he should move to Osaka where he meets a certain girl. After saving the girl from certain death by the drunk truck driver he was invited to live with her and her family. So I got a lot of inspiration from The Remedy For My Darkness made by Grace_sama though this story will skip the year of him living in the Karuizawa household and skip to him entering ANHS. Before entering ANHS he was challenged by the politicians that he should go all out because they wanted to see if he was the real deal. He was still handicapped and placed in class D. He agrees with their terms in one condition that she is also in the same class as him due to him being attached to her because she was the only person he truly trust and she was also the person that is helping him overcome his past. She is the first real friend he really made and his best friend. The characters Kei and Kiyotaka belong to Kinugasa, author of COTE.
