Chapitre 1: The Beginning of a New Challenge
Kayden stood before the imposing Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Preparatory School, a building that towered with a grandeur reflecting its reputation as the top preparatory school in Japan. The scale of the institution was impressive, and Kayden couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and nervousness as he gazed at the imposing structure.
At that moment, he heard his name being called. He turned and saw Anri, a girl who immediately commanded attention. Her presence was undeniably elegant, with dark, straight hair framing her face in a sophisticated manner. Her large eyes expressed an intensity and seriousness that stood out against her slender, well-proportioned figure. Her style, combining formality with a modern touch, made her seem both distinguished and approachable.
"Kayden," Anri said, her expression reflecting a mix of seriousness and concern. "There's something important I want to tell you before we part ways."
Kayden, with a mischievous smile on his lips, responded, "Don't tell me you're going to confess your love. If that's the case, I'm not coming to this school."
Anri, maintaining her composure, gave him a gentle pinch on the cheek and replied playfully, "It's not that, you fool."
"Then what is it?" Kayden asked, now genuinely curious.
"I want you to keep playing football. Join the football club so you can keep practicing," Anri requested with a seriousness that indicated her request was important.
Kayden nodded with a smile, understanding the reason behind the request. "Anri, you know I'm not going to stop playing football. It's my favorite sport."
"I know, but I want you to join the club," Anri said.
"Why is it so important to you?" Kayden asked.
Anri looked at him intently, her eyes reflecting a determination that Kayden couldn't ignore. "You'll understand later. For now, just do what I'm asking, okay?"
"Alright, Anri. I'll join the football club as soon as I can," Kayden promised.
"I also hope you take this school seriously and don't act like you did in the previous ones," Anri added with a note of concern in her voice.
Kayden chuckled softly. "I didn't do anything wrong in the other schools."
"Does sleeping through every class not count as wrong?" Anri retorted, a bit exasperated.
"I always pass my subjects," Kayden defended himself.
Anri sighed. "I've told you before, this school is not like the previous ones. You can't take it lightly. Do your best, and if you do well, I'll buy you whatever you want. What do you say?"
Kayden was surprised. "Are you serious?"
"Of course. When have I broken a promise?" Anri said with a confident smile.
"Then get your wallet ready, because that motorcycle isn't going to buy itself," Kayden joked.
"Do you still want the same motorcycle, right?" Anri asked.
"Yes, that's definitely the one I want," Kayden confirmed.
"Alright. If you meet my expectations, I'll buy it," Anri promised.
"Thanks, Anri," Kayden said, moving closer to give her a hug. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too, Kayden," Anri replied with a smile that made Kayden's heart race.
Finally, Anri encouraged him not to be late. "Now you can go. I don't want you to be late."
Kayden said his final "Goodbye, Anri. I hope to see you at my graduation" before entering what would now be his new school.

Kayden walked through the vast halls of the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Preparatory School, awed by the enormity of the place. The school felt like a mini-city in itself, with its expansive corridors and imposing architecture. Kayden's excitement was evident, his eyes shining with the same fascination as a child exploring a new world.
As he walked, he couldn't help but notice the abundance of security cameras positioned along the hallways. "Man, I think there are too many cameras," he thought to himself, surprised by the intense surveillance that seemed to characterize the institution.
Eventually, he arrived at the auditorium where the opening ceremony for the new school year would take place. He made his way to his class section, Class B, and settled in as the principal began his speech. The principal's tone was formal and ceremonial, discussing the start of the year and the expectations placed upon the students. Kayden, accustomed to such ceremonies, quickly found himself bored. For him, these presentations usually felt like a monotonous routine.
As the principal spoke, Kayden let his gaze wander around the room, looking for something that would capture his interest. It was then that he noticed something particularly curious: the disparity in behavior among the students of each class.
He first observed Class A. The students appeared serious and attentive, absorbing every word of the principal with almost reverential concentration. It was clear that this group valued discipline and academic excellence.
He then turned his attention to his own class, Class B. Although the students were also paying attention, the atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed. There was an air of camaraderie and nonchalance that contrasted with the more rigorous atmosphere of Class A.
As he moved to Class C, Kayden noticed an even more marked difference. Most of the students seemed disinterested, some even displaying intimidating behaviors. The disdain for the principal's speech was palpable, and the group appeared more focused on their own interactions than on the ceremony.
Finally, his gaze settled on Class D. This class was the most boisterous of all; except for a few students who paid some attention, the majority was engaged in conversations, joking around, and showing a total lack of interest in the principal's words. The lively chatter and incessant noise created a stark contrast with the other classes.
Kayden observed the disparity between the classes with growing curiosity. The attitude and behavior of the students in each class varied enormously, from the seriousness in Class A to the disinterest in Class D. This contrast sparked in him a question: why were they so different? The variety in the groups' reactions made him wonder what influences and dynamics were hidden behind each class at the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Preparatory School.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The opening ceremony had ended, and Kayden headed towards his classroom. As he walked through the halls, he couldn't help but notice the excess of security cameras, a feature that seemed to be an integral part of the school. After a brief walk, he arrived at his classroom, where a few students were already present. As he entered, all eyes turned towards him. His striking appearance did not go unnoticed.
Kayden made his way to his desk, located at the front of the classroom, just in front of the protagonist's seat. Upon arrival, he noticed a beautiful girl who would be sitting right behind him. Their eyes met, and Kayden, with a friendly smile, greeted her.
"Good morning," Kayden said, smiling slightly.
"Good morning," the girl replied with a serious tone.
"You don't have to be so serious. We'll be sharing a classroom for quite some time," Kayden said with a smile.
"Well, I suppose talking like this is normal since we don't know each other yet," the girl said, still with a serious expression.
"I guess that's true, but it can be easily fixed. My name is Kayden Osawa," Kayden said, extending his hand towards her.
The girl looked at his hand for a moment before extending hers for a handshake.
"My name is Himeno Yuki," she said, with dark brown hair and blue streaks, and purple eyes that reflected a sharp gaze.
"I see, Himeno-san. I hope we can get along well."
"Likewise, I suppose," she responded with seriousness.
More students continued to enter until everyone was present, except for the teacher. Suddenly, an energetic voice to Kayden's right caught his attention.
"Hello," said a girl with dark blue hair with purple highlights and ocean-blue eyes.
"Hello," Kayden replied, turning to the girl with a smile.
"It seems I'll be your new neighbor. My name is Amikura Mako, and I'll be delighted to get along with someone as handsome as you," Amikura said, smiling broadly.
"Haha, thanks. I see you're quite direct, Amikura-san," Kayden said, laughing.
"Well, it's one of my charms," she replied, winking at him.
Kayden smiled and said:
"It looks like you and I will get along very well."
At that moment, the classroom door opened. A young woman entered, of average height, with light brown hair that reached her chest and was curled at the bottom, with a fringe hanging to one side. Her eyes were a deep purple, and her figure was slender but well-proportioned.
"Sorry for making you wait," the woman said with a smile. "My name is Hoshinomiya Chie, and I'll be your teacher for the next three years. I hope we can get along well, as we'll be together until graduation."
Kayden thought to himself that they would only have one homeroom teacher throughout their stay at the school.
"Now, everyone, let me give you your new phones and student IDs, which you'll be using from now on," Hoshinomiya-sensei continued, distributing the items among the students. "I will also explain the school rules and the S-points system, so I want you to pay close attention, as it's very important."
Hoshinomiya-sensei's face grew a bit more serious as she spoke, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Kayden's life
