A/N: So you might be thinking, wow! new chapter!

n                o

Sorry about that.

This is a rewrite of cote part 2. Because one, I didn't like this chapter, and two, I will be changing some things. And so I must apologize to 3/4 of readers, because instead of doing new anime, I will be sticking to cote until the end of the first island exam. Yes. Big sad, but I thought this would be the best option for this story. It would be too much to cram in a couple thousand words while changing the anime every single chapter. So, please read this chapter, it's kind of important. Also established some white room shenanigans.

Upon hearing the absurd amount of money every student in advanced nurturing high school would get every month, certain people had some things to say.

"WHAT THE FUh..." Hiratsuka remembered that she was the only teacher in a room full of children. "What is this?! These kids, get like, my monthly salary for doing absolutely nothing! Why am I even working?! "

Hiratsuka sensei was doing her boomer routine. 

Hirasuka sensei:

Shirogane's mind was running wild, doing calculations as fast his mind could allow.

'100 000 yen a month...That's around how much I earn a month from my part time job...guh! I should have enrolled here, instead of shuchiin! If they allow conversions after graduation, that gives you...3 million 6 hundred thousand. Damn...'

Hayasaka ai, while aware that it was an unnatural amount of money to the average person, calling it out would be hypocritical. Her total earnings exceeded 40 million yen, courtesy of working with the shinomiya family for 10 out of her 17 years.

Yuigahama raised her hands to her head, her tiny brain seemingly unable to comprehend such a large amount of money. 

"That obscene amount of money brings up a lot of suspicious questions. Why on earth would a high-schooler need that much money? If it's to give them a life of luxury, surely you could simply give them the service, without having to ask them to manage their money? And, the whole purpose of managing your money is to make sure that you don't run out of money, which definitely won't happen with a steady income flow of 100 000 yen a month."

Rio futaba raised up her hand. It was so unrealistic she could laugh. Almost resembling an anime. Then again, maybe that wasn't so far off the truth. 

Mai found herself lost. 

In this room full of geniuses, and fujiwara, she felt completely out of place. Still, it seemed like puberty syndrome was her ticket into this exclusive viewing. She did have some concerns about that though. Did the god want to show her life as well?

 Hikigaya: "There's probably some other use for the points."

Ichinose spoke up.

"Well, the points can actually be used for all sorts of things, the biggest one being preventing expulsion, but it's at the cost of 20 million points. You can also change classes at the same cost. Although, none of us were aware about this in the first term of school."

Yukinoshita: "Okay, but wouldn't it be hard to save up so much? If you add it up, the total amount of points you can get even if you don't spend a single point, is less than 4 million points."

Sakuta: "Maybe they just put an impossible price tag to stop you from doing that?"

Futaba didn't think so.

She was deeply confused. Ichinose's answer only led to more questions.

"Excuse me, when were you made aware of this rule, and why had the school withhold the information until-

Ichinose smiled.

"Futaba-san, I expect that your questions will be answered if you carry on watching."

In other words, for being admitted to this school, we got a 100,000 yen monthly allowance from the school. As expected from a school created by the Japanese government.

"Were you guys surprised by the amount of points given? This school measures the abilities of students. Everyone here, who passed the entrance exam, has shown some level of merit and worth. The amount of money is a reflection of your skills. Use without holding back. After graduation, however, all the points will be taken back. Since it's impossible to change these points into cash, there's no point in saving up the points. How the points are used are up to you. Use it on things you like or need. If you feel that no use for some of your points, you can always transfer them to someone else. However, bullying other people for points is prohibited. The school is very strict on matters concerning bullying."

Chabashira-sensei looked around the room.

"It seems like no one has questions. Well then, please lead a good student life."

A lot of the classmates couldn't hide their surprise at the size of the allowance.

"It isn't as strict of a school as I thought it would be."

"It certainly seems like a lax school."

Although they force us to live in dorms, forbid us from going off campus, and prohibit us from contacting anyone on the outside, they give us a lot of points for free usable anywhere on campus.

It could be said that the students are put in paradise with preferential treatment.

And the biggest merit to Koudo Ikusei High School is their 100% employment rate.

Under the thorough guidance of the government, the school works towards a better future with all of its resources. In fact, many of this widely publicized school's alumni are famous people. Usually, no matter how famous and good a school is, its area of specialization is narrow. A school might specialize in sports, or specialize in music. Or maybe it specializes in computer related topics. But this school fulfills any wish in any genre that someone may wish to study. This is a school that has that kind of system and value.

That's why I thought the class atmosphere would be more competitive and bloodthirsty, but the majority of my classmates seemed like ordinary students you could find anywhere else.

"True, they do look exactly like ordinary students...what exactly then, qualifies someone to be in this school of elites?"

Ishigami muttered to himself.

No, maybe that's why everyone's so normal. We were already recognized as students who passed the entrance exam. Can we graduate peacefully and without incident...? I wonder if it's even possible.

"This much preferential treatment is a bit scary."

After listening to Horikita say that, I also felt the same way.

I think it would be better to stay ignorant of the details about this school.

Because they are able to fulfill any wish, I think there would be some risks associated with the school.

Many in the room agreed that the school had more under the surface.

"Ne ne~, don't you want to go see those shops? Let's go shopping!"

"Un. With this much money, we can buy anything. It's great that I got into this school~"

After the teacher left the room, the students who received the large amount of money were restless.

"Everyone, can you guys listen to me for a bit?"

A student who had the air of a young man raised his hand and spoke.

His hair is not dyed and looked like an honors student. He didn't look like delinquent either.

"Starting from today, we will be in the same class for the next three years. So, it would be great if all of us could introduce ourselves and become friends. We still have time until the entrance ceremony, so what do you think?"

'Oh god, there's a hayama copy too. At least he isn't blond.'

Hachiman felt like he was being plagiarized.

Oh... he said something amazing. A majority of the students couldn't find words to say.

'Eeeh?! That's something amazing? I could probably do that!'

Fujiwara thought.

'Ayanokouji-kun is strange.'

"My name is Hirata Yousuke. Because I was often called by my first name, Yousuke, in middle school, feel free to use my first name. Although I like all sports, I like soccer in particular, and also plan to play soccer at this school. Please take care of me."

The young man who proposed that the class introduce themselves smoothly and impeccably did his self introduction.

You really have a lot of guts. And you even talked about soccer. After talking about soccer with that refreshing expression, his popularity multiplied by 2 times, no, 4 times. Look, look, all the girls near Hirata have hearts in their eyes.

"Go blow yourself up, riajuu/damn riajuu/laser death beam"

Hikigaya, sakuta and ishigami all muttered under their breath simultaneously.

Like this, Hirata became the central figure of the class, and would probably draw everyone's attention until we graduated.

And then he would probably go out with the cutest girl in the class. That's probably how things will end up.

'Yup. No doubt about it. Ayanokouji, you get it!'

Ishigami gave ayanokouji a thumbs-up.

Ayanokouji tilted his head, unaware of what ishigami was praising him for.

"Kiyotaka, do you know him?"

Kei, whispered in kiyotaka's ear, while leaning on to him closely, making lots of body contact.

Ishigami, after seeing a cute girl lean onto kiyotaka, felt betrayed, and as punishment he turned his thumbs up into a laser death beam and sent kiyotaka to riajuu hell.

A/N: I was pretty off when I wrote this part. Liked it enough to keep it in.

"Well, if that was satisfactory... then, can we start self introductions from the beginning?"

Although the first girl was perplexed and nervous, she soon made up her mind and stood up.

In other words, she was flustered by Hirata's words.

"M-my name Inogashira K-ko—"

As she tried to introduce herself, her words stopped in her mouth.

Ichinose looked at her with sympathy.

 One of the girls spoke up.

"Doing it slowly is fine, don't rush through it."

After regaining a bit of her composure, she breathed in and out to calm herself down.

Then after a little while...

"My name is, Inogashira... Kokoro. Um, my hobby is sewing and I'm good at knitting. P-please take care of me."

From the first word, she said all she wanted to say without stopping.

With a relieved, delighted, and slightly embarrassed expression, Inogashira sit down.

Thanks to the help, Inogashira's introduction finished without any trouble. Other self-introductions followed.

"What a nice girl..."

Iino, said, her eyes shining. She was referring to the girl who encouraged inogashira.

'It would have been nice to have her as a friend during middle school...'

"I'm Yamauchi Haruki. In elementary school, I played table tennis at the national level, then was the baseball club's ace in middle school—I had uniform number 4. But since I got an injury during Inter High recently, so I am currently in rehab. Nice to meet ya."

'Tobe copy? Wait no, it was that other guy in hayama's clique. Forgot his name. Also, doesn't the Inter high take place in high school?'

Hikigaya thought.

"Doesn't the inter high competition take place in high school?"

 Yukinoshita pointed out.

"Yukinon, you're right! You're so smart!"

Hikigaya pouted.

"Stop that. It's gross."

Hikigaya blushed, embarrassed yukino saw him.

Surprisingly, yukinoshita also had a blush on her face.

I don't think the number 4 has any meaning to it...

And Inter High is a sports tournament for high schools... You can't compete as a middle schooler.

"So the boy was caught bragging shamelessly, at something he didn't know anything about."

Shirogane kei scoffed.

Or was he trying to tell a joke? I got the impression that he was a frivolous and loose-mouthed type of person.

'With how egotistical he is, it's no wonder arisu found him so easy to manipulate back then at the class vote exam.'

"Then I'm next, right?"

The cheerful girl who stood up next was the one who told Inogashira to introduce herself at her own pace.

And the girl that helped out the old woman on the bus that morning.

"My name is Kushida Kikyou, and since none of my friends from middle school came to this school, I want to get to know everyone and become friends!"

'Ah, my nice girl radar is going off.'

Hikigaya's nice girl radar was going off. One of his 108 skills, nice girl radar was able to help hikigaya, believe it or not, detect nice girls.

Most students finished their greetings after a few words, but Kushida continued to talk.

"First of all, I want to become friends with everyone here. After all of you are done with your introductions, please exchange contact information with me!"

Her words weren't just words. I could tell immediately that she was the type of girl to open up her heart immediately.

Also, she seemed the type of person who would get along with everyone.

'You better be careful not to fall into the nice girl trap, ayanokouji.'

The nice girl trap, as described by hachiman himself, was the act of 'ignorantly believing that the treatment from a nice girl was because she felt attraction towards you, when in actuality she treated everyone like that, before you confess to her, get rejected, get hit with the can we just be friends and becoming depressed because you thought there was something between you two, before the relationship gets awkward and you both stop becoming friends.'

That was the nice girl trap. Source: hikigaya.

"Then, during vacations or after school, I want to make memories with many people, so please invite me to many events. I've been talking for a while, so I'll end my self-introduction here."

She'd definitely get along with all the boys and girls in the class.

... Of course, it's not like I'm critiquing other people's self-introductions.

What I should say in my introduction... should I try to tell a joke too?

Or should I bring out laughs by creating high tension during my speech?

No, but I wonder. High tension would probably just ruin the mood. To begin with, I'm not that kind of character.

'No, you're definitely not, monster.'

Ryuuen thought.

While I was lost in my own worries, the self-introductions continued.

"Then, the next one is───"

As Hirata looked at the next student, the next student shot him a sharp glare.

With bright red hair, the boy looked like a delinquent and spoke in a manner that matched his appearance.

"You guys idiots? I don't wanna introduce myself, just leave me alone."

Horikita was glad that sudo wasn't so standoffish anymore now.

Hikigaya: 'Hey! It isn't a copy from my anime!'

Ishigami identified the red haired-boy immediately as a popular anime trope, a delinquent.

"What an ill-mannered boy!"

Iino was doing iino things.

Red hair glared at Hirata. Tension hung in the air.

"I can't force you to introduce yourself. But, I don't think that it's a bad thing to get along with your classmates. If you thought I was being unpleasant, I apologize."

After watching Hirata bow his head towards red hair, some of the girls glared at red hair.

"Isn't it fine to do a simple self introduction?"

"Yea, yea!"

As expected from the ikemen soccer boy. He seems to have quickly attracted the attention of the girls.

"Go blow yourself up, riajuu/damn riajuu/laser death beam"

This was said by hikigaya, sakuta, and ishigami.

However, starting with red hair, the about half of the other boys stirred with jealousy towards Hirata.

"No. I don't want to pretend that we're good friends."

Red hair got up from his seat. At the same time, several other students left the room. They probably had no intention to get to know their classmates. Horikita also started to get up from her seat.

 Hirata looked a bit lonely as he saw the group walk out the classroom.

"They're not bad people. I'm also at fault since I asked them to stay out of my own selfishness."

"That's not true. It should be normal for students to introduce themselves."

Iino felt bad for Hirata.

"Hirata-kun did nothing bad. Let's just leave those people alone."

Even though some people left after not wanting to do self-introductions, the remaining students continued to go around and introduce themselves

"I'm Ike Kanji. The things I like are girls, and the things I hate are ikemen. I'm looking for a girlfriend at any time, so nice to meet you! Of course, you better be cute or beautiful!"

Some girls thought he was gross.

'God, I'm getting so much second-hand embarrassment from this guy.'

Sakuta cringed hard just imagining it.

It's hard to tell if he said that as a joke or if it his true thoughts, but he earned the ire of the females.

"Wow, cool~. Ike-kun, you're so smooth", said one of the girls with a completely emotionless voice.

Of course, it was obvious that it was 1000% a lie.

Iroha: "1000%? Saying that feels kinda childish...."

'True, as 1000% is synonymous with 100%, thus eliminating the need for using the longer word. However, I still did so in order to convey that it was obvious that that girl's compliment was sarcasm. Moreover, by using that phrase, it sounds more definite...'

"Kiyotaka, why do I feel like you're overthinking something?"

Ayanokouji looked up.

"Not at all, kei.

Then, the boy who fought on the bus, Koenji, was up next.

After checking his bangs with a hand-mirror, he used a comb to arrange his hair.

"Um, can you introduce yourself"

"Fu~. Ok."

While smiling like a young noble, he showed glimpses of his impudent behavior.

I thought he would stand up, but Koenji kept his feet on the desk, and started his self-introduction while sitting like that.

Iino fumed at the display of disregard to school property. She kept silent though, getting slightly tired of berating the same person over and over again; with nothing to show for it.

She grimaced. That was to be expected, she reasoned, as this was an event from the past.

She sighed, deciding not to try anything anymore and instead just watch the show.

"Iino, why do you keep changing your expression?"

Fujiwara asked, to which Iino blushed. 

"My name is Koenji Rokusuke. Being the only heir of the Koenji conglomerate, I am a man who will be responsible for Japanese society in the near future. Pleased to meet you,
