The Irregular At Elite High School's
Chapter 8 Encounter

[Amasawa Yuki's Point of View]

'You think, what's the point of prestige?'

When I asked him, I was sure some people would be confused to answer him. Inside their heads they knew that it was something unnecessary and burdensome, but in their hearts they would say something different. Actually it is natural, no human being wants to be humbled, especially for those who are usually flattered or glorified.

We can see the real example in the participants of this elite school entrance examination. We can clearly see their arrogance when they claim to come from a classy school. The more famous the school, the higher the degree. Even if it was still lacking, they would without a doubt flaunt his family's pervasive wealth and business. Whatever it is that can make them look 'more', it looks like they will be showing off here.

'It's funny, yeah.'

But all this silliness is something I've predicted. That also included how they would look at me when they found out that all this time I was just following home schooling. They didn't know that I deliberately placed my grades at the intermediate level and made them think that I was the dumbest. Then finally, this exam will be completed by the drop out of the rank one and the second or third rank.

All this time my prediction was always perfect to the point that it bored me. I also felt like nothing could ever surprise me, even in an elite school like this..

"Geeh."

Spontaneously my lips smiled, insinuating someone who was none other than myself. It seems like I'm still too naive, or maybe it's because I underestimated this school too much. I don't know anything about it, which for sure this time I've cheated.

My prediction regarding the results of this exam actually did not miss. But I did not expect, the long black-haired woman that I predicted was in the first rank.

Our team that mis-predict also must then drop out a participant with the highest points. Furthermore, the woman who got the last rank used her right to drop out the participants in the second rank and the exam ended here.

'It seems like there are also those who still use his brain.'

I commended. The strategy he chose was right for the situation. If I were him, I would do the same. Armed with a conglomerate family background and coming from the best Junior High School will certainly make everyone think that he will rank at the top.

His initial self-introduction that exposed who he was I think was also the thing he had planned. He made other participants compete prestige then made the team scapegoat someone with the lowest educational background.

'One point?'

I was wondering why that long black haired woman didn't make her grades all go to zero. If it were me, I would have done it. But soon I felt amused after realizing the meaning of making the number one.

'ichiji.'

The woman's surname has the number one element in it. Hinting at his existence and showing that he is the number one? I think I found a really interesting person.

I admit I misjudged this school. But I do not regret.I actually feel really happy because what I am looking for in this place is a school life that is not boring.

'People like Ichiji were. How many are there in this place?'

If only.. Yes, if only this school was filled with people like Ichiji or maybe even more interesting than him.. Ah, if only that were true, maybe I would finally be able to be a little more serious.

'Yes, just a little.'

[Ichiji Sei Point of View]

It might be a shame that an Ichiji gets a one in the school entrance exam. But I don't care about people's views of my family. As long as I graduate it doesn't matter.

After all, just being one in a test like this was nothing compared to us who had destroyed the Shunsaku family. That's why, something called the prestige or honor of this family, I don't care about it.

In the end, those who were eliminated from this test were the most prominent in showing the prestige and honor of their families. The rank one and the rank two are probably smart and have an awesome background. But alas, they also accentuated his arrogance. Judge other participants only from their background and ridicule those who feel inferior to them.

"This test is done. The eight people who were declared to pass, please return to the hall room."

The examination supervisor closed this exam session and asked us to return to the hall. Their faces that had been suffused with tension instantly turned bright. The pleasure of passing this exam seemed to make them instantly forget what had happened in the exam earlier.

"Seeei.."

Arriving in the hall a woman came straight to me. His voice was shrill with a high tone full of cheerfulness.

"I thought Sei would graduate. What's your test..easy, right?"

"Okay..your exam is good? From you who first arrived at the hall I don't think you should be asked yes.."

Compared to those who approached me with two faces, Anri was the only honest and outspoken person I met in Junior High School.

"Well, it's not as scary as I thought. It even finished very quickly."

"Great, how did it conclude so quickly?"

Askaqua. All I know is that on average each team will definitely spend a total of thirty minutes given. Is there also the same as in my team who without thinking long judge people from their educational background only?

"Mildly.. We don't even have to think."

"meaning?"

"Ck, Ck, Ck,"

Anri clicked her tongue and smiled arrogantly. This guy was a little annoying sometimes when he managed to make me curious.

"Guessing the person with the lowest value is difficult, even impossible because the value alone we do not know. Keep... Why think? Let's just say we're in the same position. Because it agreed that way so my team used this.."

Anri showed me her phone screen. There was a large circle with a needle in the middle. The circle rotated and before long his son slowed down and stopped.

"....."

I didn't think until I couldn't say what. Something like this 'Spin Wheel'. Aren't they just gambling? Unbelievable...in the entrance exam of an elite school like this they decide through gambling? They should have finished so quickly.

"Where.. Great right? I'm sure a Sei wouldn't even think of coming here."

"Yes, I'm not gonna think about that anyway. but I'm also-"

My gaze immediately fell on a man who had just entered the hall. He looked down at the ceiling before our eyes finally locked on each other. I threw a smile and then he returned it.

Shunsaku's.. I knew he would succeed. So it was confirmed that we would be in the same school.

"Ichiji."

Shunsaku called my name and walked over. I don't know what he felt when he mentioned Ichiji's name that had destroyed his family. I can't guess it, which is for sure it gives me the creeps.

"Who are you?"

Anri suddenly confronted Shunsaku. He glared at her and seemed unhappy with Shunsaku's arrival.

"Shunsaku Tomo, I know him."

"His "introductions? I don't know all Sei's acquaintances."

Anri is sometimes protective when someone is trying to get my attention. This was not good, the atmosphere between them instantly stiffened.

"Anri, that's enough! He's my acquaintance."

"Eh? How do I not know?!"

"I just knew him.. And he's a good man who helped me."

"Ma-Sorry.. I guess he's the usual gatel guy."

"That's right, just calm down. He's a good man."

I also emphasized it once again. Putting aside what kind of feeling he currently has towards me.. At least I want him to know that.

"Consider to the eighty participants who have passed the entrance selection exam. We say.. Welcome to Golden Star Academy..!"

The announcement was immediately greeted with a boisterous cheer by dozens of participants in the hall. In this way, we have all officially become students of Golden Star Academy.
