This school boasts incredibly extravagant resources, including a vast collection of books and movies from around the world, and even a private theater—something that Saiki Kusuo finds quite satisfying.
But the most crucial aspect is the school's exceptional cafeteria. It offers a wide variety of delicious foods, especially an extensive selection of desserts.
For Saiki Kusuo, there's nothing in the world more important than desserts.
This is the real reason he's willing to enroll in this strange school.
As long as it doesn't exceed common sense, students here can purchase anything they want.
"...Also, everything in this school can be bought using points. Points are automatically deposited into your account on the first of every month. One point is worth one yen, and this month's 100,000 points have already been added to your accounts."
As she spoke, Chabashira Sae held up a device resembling a smartphone—the terminal used by everyone in the school.
'100,000 yen a month, huh.'
Saiki Kusuo lowered his head, glancing at the interface on his terminal screen. There, prominently displayed, were 100,000 points.
A hundred thousand every month—that's far more than the allowance he gets from his family.
Despite having psychic powers, Saiki Kusuo doesn't abuse them for personal gain. Usually, he just uses his allowance to buy sweets.
With 100,000 yen, he could basically enjoy desserts freely every month.
"One hundred thousand?!"
"Is that for real?!"
"Wow!"
Seeing the massive number in their accounts, nearly every student in the classroom gasped in astonishment. Some couldn't hide their eager smiles.
Saiki Kusuo, however, remained calm. Using his telepathic abilities, he had already read Chabashira Sae's mind and learned the school's true rules.
These points are tied to a student's 'value.' Essentially, a student's performance in school directly correlates with the points they receive.
The campus is equipped with countless surveillance cameras, constantly monitoring students' every move. They evaluate students, assigning them scores and dividing classes into four tiers: A, B, C, and D. Higher-ranked classes earn more points.
Saiki Kusuo is currently in what's expected to be the lowest-ranked D class.
[As expected, almost everyone looks surprised. They're just a bunch of flawed misfits, after all.]
[These guys will probably blow through their points in no time.]
[Reaching Class A? That's probably impossible.]
At that moment, Saiki Kusuo read Chabashira Sae's thoughts.
'Hmm, so the whole class is evaluated together. I don't want to interfere too much, but I can't let my points get deducted because of them. Otherwise, I won't have money for coffee pudding.'
That's what Saiki Kusuo thought at that moment.
With his powers, he could remotely manipulate electronic devices and change his points to infinity without any physical contact. But doing so would surely raise suspicion and cause trouble later, so he decided against it—for now.
"This school measures students by their abilities."
"If you're here, it means you have value."
"That's all for today. Since it's your first day, take some time to get familiar with the school."
After a brief instruction, Chabashira Sae left the classroom.
As she walked down the hallway, she immediately pulled out her terminal. The screen displayed the profiles of her class's students.
Before enrollment, the school evaluates each student's abilities and potential through exams and interviews.
What caught Chabashira Sae's attention were two students. Both were personally selected by Chairman Sakayanagi, not assigned to Class D, yet their entrance exam scores were average.
One of them was Saiki Kusuo.
[Saiki Kusuo]
[Academic Ability: C]
[Intelligence: C-]
[Judgment: C-]
[Physical Ability: C-]
[Teamwork: C]
"Saiki Kusuo… nothing special about him. Just too average."
Chabashira Sae frowned, then closed her terminal.
...
Meanwhile, as soon as class ended, Saiki Kusuo rushed to the school cafeteria at full speed.
The decor was simple yet elegant. Despite the small student population, the cafeteria was spacious, with a dazzling array of dishes neatly displayed at the counters—like a rainbow made of delicacies, even including foreign cuisines.
Every student who entered couldn't help but gasp in awe. Saiki Kusuo, the first to arrive, smirked slightly.
His reason for coming to this school was simple: it offered desserts he couldn't normally get.
Though Saiki Kusuo has teleportation powers, he can only move to places he's been before. Trying desserts from around the world would be complicated, but this school eliminates that hassle.
If possible, he could teleport directly from the classroom to the cafeteria, but he already knew the school was filled with cameras. At least openly, he couldn't use such flashy powers.
However, he could slightly unleash his physical strength, which is why he arrived at the cafeteria before everyone else.
As a psychic, Saiki Kusuo's physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.
He quickly reached the dessert section, immediately selecting several different styles of coffee pudding. He scanned them with his terminal, successfully purchasing them with his points.
'Earning points in school is really convenient.'
'My usual allowance wouldn't even cover this many coffee puddings at once.'
Saiki Kusuo watched his points decrease by a few thousand on the terminal screen, thinking to himself.
Just as he was about to enjoy his desserts, a graceful figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Saiki-kun, what a coincidence!"
