Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan: Elite - Chapter 2: The School's Rules? I Already Knew Them

This school had extravagant resources, covering all kinds of books and movies from around the world, even having a private cinema, which Saiki Kusuo found satisfying.

Most importantly, the school had an incredible cafeteria with a variety of delicious foods, especially a wide range of desserts.

For Saiki Kusuo, nothing in the world was more important than desserts.

This was the real reason Saiki Kusuo was willing to enroll in this strange school.

As long as it’s within reason, students at this school could buy anything.

“…Additionally, in this school, everything can be bought with points. Points are automatically deposited on the first of each month, with one point worth one yen. This month’s 100,000 points have already been deposited into your accounts.”

As she spoke, Chabashira Sae picked up a device similar to a smartphone, a terminal used by all members of the school.

‘100,000 yen per month, huh.’

Saiki Kusuo lowered his head to look at the interface displayed on his terminal, which showed 100,000 points.

100,000 a month was much more than the pocket money given by his family.

Although Saiki Kusuo had psychic powers, he didn’t abuse them for personal gain, usually just using his family’s pocket money to buy sweets.

With 100,000 yen, he could essentially enjoy unlimited desserts every month.

“100,000?!”

“Really?!”

“Wow!”

Seeing the large amount of points in their accounts, nearly all students in the classroom exclaimed in surprise, with some already showing eager smiles.

But Saiki Kusuo remained calm—using his telepathy, he had already learned the true rules of the school from Chabashira Sae’s mind.

These points were related to the students’ ‘value’. Basically, students’ performance in the school was directly proportional to the points they could earn.

The campus was filled with surveillance cameras monitoring the students’ every move, scoring them, and dividing classes into four grades: A, B, C, and D. The higher the grade, the more points they could earn.

And Saiki Kusuo was now in Class D, estimated to be the worst.

【As expected, almost all surprised expressions. They’re just a mob of flawed goods.】

【These guys will probably lose all their points soon.】

【It will be difficult to rise to Class A.】

At this moment, Saiki Kusuo had already read Chabashira Sae’s thoughts.

‘Ah, I see. The entire class is graded together. Although I don’t want to get too involved, I can’t let my deserved points be deducted along with the others. Otherwise, I won’t have money to buy coffee pudding.’

This was what Saiki Kusuo was thinking at the moment.

With his psychic abilities, Saiki Kusuo could control and adjust electronic and mechanical devices from a distance without any physical or indirect contact. He could even modify his points to be infinite, but doing so would undoubtedly raise suspicions from the school authorities and potentially cause trouble, so he chose not to.

“This school measures students by their abilities.”

“Being able to enter this school means you all possess certain value.”

“That’s the situation for now. For today, the first day, familiarize yourselves with the school.”

After giving these brief instructions, Chabashira Sae left the classroom.

Walking in the corridor, she immediately picked up her terminal, which displayed the profiles of her students.

Before entering the school, the students were assessed and interviewed to determine their abilities and potential in different areas.

What caught Chabashira Sae’s attention were two students in her class, both personally selected by the school’s director Sakayanagi, not assigned to Class D, but their entrance exam scores were very average.

One of these students was Saiki Kusuo.

【Saiki Kusuo】

【Academic Ability: C】

【Intelligence: C-】

【Judgement: C-】

【Physical Ability: C-】

【Teamwork: C】

“Saiki Kusuo seems to have nothing special, too ordinary.”

Chabashira Sae frowned slightly and then closed her terminal.

…

On the other side, after class, Saiki Kusuo quickly made his way to the school cafeteria.

The cafeteria’s decor was simple and stylish. Though the school didn’t have many students, the cafeteria space was vast. A dazzling array of dishes was neatly arranged in rows, like a rainbow made of delicacies, including even foreign cuisine.

Any student coming to the cafeteria couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder, and Saiki Kusuo, the first to arrive, had a slight smile on his lips.

His purpose in coming to this school was simple: it had desserts and delicacies he couldn’t normally enjoy.

Although Saiki Kusuo had the ability to teleport, he could only move to places he had previously been. Tasting desserts from around the world would be quite troublesome, but this school made it easier.

He could have teleported directly from the classroom to the cafeteria using his ability, but he already knew about the numerous cameras installed in the school. At least openly, he couldn’t use his more conspicuous psychic powers.

However, using a bit more of his physical strength was permissible, which is why Saiki Kusuo arrived at the cafeteria before everyone else.

As a psychic, Saiki Kusuo’s physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

He quickly went to the dessert section, choosing several different styles of coffee pudding. Then, using his terminal, he successfully purchased them with points.

‘It’s convenient to earn points at school.’

‘My usual pocket money wouldn’t be enough to buy so many coffee puddings at once.’

As Saiki Kusuo watched the points on his terminal decrease by a few thousand, he thought to himself.

Just as he was about to enjoy his desserts, a slender figure suddenly appeared beside him.

“Saiki-kun, what a coincidence!”
