Chapter Four

"Uji" referred to the groups of families who shared the same bloodline whole "Kabane" referred to an individual's post and status, it was a system in which pedigree determined one's place."

Just as Sae-sensei finished, the bell rank, before she left, she assigned them to rehearse what they just learned and left the room without another word.

Kenji continued to write notes from the book at his side, ignoring the leaving students, this thing was fairly interesting, and he could see some resemblance between the "Uji Kabane" system and his-

"This school is incredibly indulgent, these kids play around and sleep in class but the teachers never even bother to do anything, I can't believe the government has the gall to dub this an elite school."

His thoughts were disturbed by the blabbering of the girl sitting behind him. Leaning back in his seat, he sent a glance at her, taking note of her long, black hair and her striking red eyes.

This chick was sitting behind him and he didn't even notice until now?

"This school is considered an elite school because all of its graduates get into any university they want and manage to work at any workplace they wished, but considering how many graduate and how many join, it's safe to say that those who don't study drop out during the second and third years."

Closing the book, he picked it up and placed it inside his bag along with his notebook and pen. Standing up, he looked over at Ayanokoji who was looking at him impassively, as usual.

"Perhaps."

Raising an eyebrow at the boy, he seemed to understand the unasked question and gave his, admittedly lame, answer.

"I thought they were encouraging individual autonomy."

Kenji shrugged, maybe it was the right answer, however, he was sure that his idea held at least some merit. Turning to the girl, he inwardly wondered why she was staring at him like he just committed a crime.

"... Kenji."

He introduced himself, hoping to alleviate the awkwardness that was around them... Oh, who was he kidding, he didn't really give a shit.

"No."

What an asshole.

"Hey wait."

Ayanokoji called out, getting her attention again as he started walking past her, sparing the ice queen a last glance.

(Has anyone ever wondered why japan even made this school? It was to compensate for its declining population, at least, that's what I think, due to the less and less population, the workforce was going to decline along with it, so the government is planning on compensating with quality over quantity... That, however, has its own problems.)

Kenji wandered around in the evening, enjoying the peace that was present in the evenings, most were at clubs or studying, giving him enough time to and enjoy himself. Absently, he wondered what others were doing, maybe still goofing off in their dorms.

Walking towards his dorm building, he hummed a tune that he heard several times in the past, not even annoyed that a song was stuck in his head.

As he got closer to the building, he absently wondered if his expectations would come true the next day about the points they would be getting. It probably was, because nothing in the world was free, all he had to do was wait and watch as everyone fell off the pillars of luxury they built for the past month, now that would be amusing.

He also had his future prospect of amusement already in his sights. That girl that often talks (?) with Ayanokoji seemed like a loner, but with her looks, she could have attracted attention just by being in the room, but her attitude was another thing entirely.

From what he heard and what little interaction he had with her, he could already tell what kind of person she was. The kind that would rather think that she was above others, even though she was the one holding the class back. Her development would be an interesting journey and wondering if it was worth getting involved was a moot point.

Of course, it was, and the chance to annoy someone with a stick up their ass sounded fun.

She complained about how the class acted, yet didn't do anything to fix it, even a warning would have helped. Of course, he could have done that too, but he didn't really care, if this place got too dull, he was not planning to stick around, anyway.

It was like they were Anime characters, starting from the bottom and all they needed was some character development to get to a higher... class...

Hey, wait a minute...
