Another new school year had arrived.
Axel End sat inside the bus, casting a glance at a certain mysterious, deadpan-faced man across the aisle, his mood nothing short of complicated.
He could accept the classic ‘fall asleep and get transmigrated’ trope well enough—but why did he have to be transmigrated onto the set of Classroom of the Elite?
Sure, comparatively speaking it wasn’t a bad outcome, but how was an ordinary guy like him supposed to compete on the same stage as those White Room stat-monsters?
Without a shred of suspense, he was going to get treated like a roadside extra and kicked to the curb.
Somebody send a system to save me, quick.
[Ding.
The Reversal System is now binding…]
Oh ho ho~
Wait—so there really is one?
But what does ‘reversal’ even mean?
Axel End instinctively straightened his posture.
[High-quality female matching the requirements detected in the environment.
Scanning…]
In the next second, a pale blue virtual panel that only he could see abruptly materialized before his eyes—no, to be precise, it appeared over the body of a certain person.
[Name: Suzune Horikita]
[Age: A woman’s past her prime once she’s over three years old]
[Height: 156cm]
[Measurements: B:79 W:54 H:79]
[Current Relationship: Stranger / Schoolmate]
[Special Attribute: Brother Complex]
Mm… he could now confirm this was definitely not a legit system.
Axel End still wanted to feast his eyes a little longer, but the girl had already noticed his gaze.
If nothing unexpected happened, a little iconic scene was about to be triggered.
Now then, please welcome the next one.
[Name: Kikyō Kushida]
[Age: A woman’s past her prime once she’s over three years old]
[Height: 155cm]
[Measurements: B:82(D) W:55 H:83]
[Current Relationship: Stranger / Schoolmate]
[Special Attribute: Two-Faced, Yandere]
Watching that ‘fallen angel’ locking horns with the mysterious handsome man inside the bus, Axel End’s heart stirred not the slightest—if anything, he found it a bit funny.
Classic segment.
I know exactly what you mean.
In that case, let’s hurry up and get to the main point.
[Ding.
This system consists of two parts: the Main System and the Sub-System.
The host possesses the Main System and may bind a Sub-System to high-quality females who meet the system’s requirements.]
[The host may issue tasks to Sub-System owners through the Main System.
Each time a Sub-System owner completes a task, the Main System host earns double task points, which may be exchanged for items in the System Shop.]
[Task content has extremely high freedom, but must be formulated according to both parties’ real circumstances and the current scenario, and the issued task may not directly harm the target.]
Axel End had a sudden flash of understanding.
Isn’t this just a Master’s command?
As expected, not a legit system—but genuinely quite simple and practical.
He could even play the mastermind behind the scenes and win while lying down.
No more chatter—let’s test the waters first.
[Target: Kikyō Kushida]
[Issue Task: Help the elderly woman find a kind soul willing to give up their seat]
Kikyō Kushida was in a rather unlovely mood.
She’d originally intended to use the old lady who’d just boarded to build herself a nice little gentle-and-kindhearted persona, but who’d have thought she’d run headfirst into an impervious tough nut who left her stranded with no way to save face.
How utterly rotten her luck was!
“Um…”
[Ding.
The Perfect Life System is now binding…]
[Current Task: Please help the elderly woman find a kind soul willing to give up their seat]
[Time Limit: One minute]
[Upon completion you will earn points, which may be exchanged for items in the Exchange Shop]
[Upon failure you will receive a penalty: perform one round of girlfriend-style aegyo toward Axel End]
Just as Kikyō Kushida was about to give up on getting the blond-haired guy in front of her to yield his seat, and instead pivot to pressuring the group collectively through moral guilt, a semi-transparent blue panel suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
“???”
Huh?
What is this thing?
A hallucination?
Kikyō Kushida’s mental fortitude was by no means poor, yet even so she felt lost and bewildered by such an unscientific phenomenon.
But right now the most important thing was still to land this situation smoothly—otherwise she really would have played the role of a circus clown.
“Ma’am, please, take my seat.”
“Thank you, young man.”
While she was still spacing out, a boy suddenly stood up and helped the old lady sit down in his seat.
[Task Completed]
[Task Reward: Host earns 50 points]
Wait—for real?
Kikyō Kushida felt like her brain still hadn’t caught up, but years of performing instinct had her body move before her mind did.
“Hello there.
My name is Kikyō Kushida—thank you so much for bailing me out!”
The beautiful girl put on a pitiable, endearing little expression, paired with an adorable face and ample assets.
With one smooth combo like that, most simp boys were basically powerless to resist.
But Axel End was different.
Knowing Kikyō Kushida’s true nature, he naturally wouldn’t be fooled by such a shallow facade—in fact, he’d already slapped the label [Fat Sheep No.
1] on her in his heart.
“Don’t mention it.
We’re only two or three stops from school anyway, so I’ll just treat it as getting ready to get off early.”
Sensing the faintly cold tone in Axel End’s voice, Kikyō Kushida secretly clicked her tongue.
She thought to herself that her fortune today was a little off—running into two oddballs in a row who refused to play by the script.
Though it irked her a bit, she had more important matters to deal with at the moment.
What on earth was this ‘Perfect Life System’ that had suddenly popped up making her do tasks?
And what were these points even good for?
Was she just under so much stress that she was hallucinating?
The instant that doubt arose, Kikyō Kushida noticed the text on the semi-transparent blue panel before her beginning to change.
[Hello, host Kikyō Kushida]
[I am the AI assistant of the Perfect Life System.
If you have any questions about this system, simply communicate with me directly in your mind]
Kikyō Kushida furrowed her brow and secretly surveyed her surroundings, but found no one behaving suspiciously.
This thing… could it actually be real?
“What are you?
What do you want to do?
Why did you choose me?”
Real or fake, ask first and figure it out later.
[I am the system AI assistant, responsible for answering the host’s questions and guiding the host in understanding this system’s functions.]
[The system’s default condition for binding a host is ‘one who harbors an intense obsession,’ and the host perfectly meets this requirement, which is why this system selected the host.]
Kikyō Kushida was no naive, romantic airhead.
She held an equal measure of wariness toward every person and thing besides herself.
“Something this good exists?”
“Then why don’t you tell me everything you can do?”
[This system can issue tasks to the host.
Completing tasks earns point rewards, which can be used to exchange for items in the System Shop]
[The items in the System Shop come from countless civilizations across all the myriad worlds.
Everything you could want is here.]
Big talk, that was.
Kikyō Kushida wanted to see for herself whether this System Shop was as exaggerated as the AI assistant claimed.
The moment the thought flitted through her mind, the panel flashed with blue light.
A dazzling array of goods appeared before her eyes.
[Photographic Memory]
[Mind Reading]
[Hypnosis]
[Common Sense Alteration]
Kikyō Kushida scanned down row after row, and the shock in her heart only grew stronger.
This place was packed with all sorts of talents, abilities, items, and props that existed almost solely in human fantasy and works of art—each one, if it leaked into the outside world, would be enough to trigger an ‘earthquake.’
Yet she could obtain them with ease.
Well, ‘ease’ might not be quite the accurate word, but at the very least this was a privilege only she got to enjoy?
“So, as long as I complete the tasks you issue, I can get whatever I want?”
[Correctly understood.]
Kikyō Kushida took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She still needed to carry out one final step of verification.
“Exchange for [Stress-Relief Chewing Gum].”
The instant the words left her mouth, Kikyō Kushida slipped her hand into her uniform pocket.
The next second, a piece of candy appeared in her palm.
Without the slightest hesitation, she tilted her head back and ate it.
An indescribable sensation surged violently from deep within her body.
Kikyō Kushida felt as though her body were floating up among the clouds.
Light and airy, utterly comfortable.
“Hmph…”
“So that’s how it is…”
