Chapter 3 I'm determined to be friends with this person!
The moment he uttered the word "them," Miyuki Shirogane was certain that this Uchiha was one of his own!
Baiyin: "That's true, it's really hard for guys like us from different departments to fit in..."
Not long after, the class finally quieted down as the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom.
"Everyone gather here and head to the school auditorium for the opening ceremony. Behave yourselves."
In short, the opening ceremony is just school leaders giving some meaningless speeches on stage to encourage everyone to work hard.
Anyway, Uchiha Ryo hadn't been paying attention since entering the hall, but the freshman address did catch his attention.
"I am Kaguya Shinomiya, the representative of this year's freshmen..."
[The system has detected a romanceable character]
[Romantic Character Name: Kaguya Shinomiya]
[Current Kaguya Shinomiya Affection Level: 0]
Shinomiya... Uchiha Ryo knew this surname; it belonged to one of the top financial groups in the country, and also to the pinnacle of the social hierarchy at this school.
This person... let's leave him alone for now. Is Kaguya Shinomiya easy to win over? She's definitely quite difficult for Uchiha Ryo.
First of all, Uchiha Ryo will not take the initiative to confess to any girl. Once he establishes a relationship with someone, it will be difficult for him to win the favor of other girls.
Therefore, it's very difficult to increase Kaguya Shinomiya's affection level, and the person she likes is a boy who is more talented or academically superior to her and has a fierce look in his eyes.
It's easy to get her attention by surpassing her abilities, but if you have a fierce look in your eyes... would you just activate your Sharingan right in front of her? That would scare her, wouldn't it?
Furthermore, given the Shinomiya family's capabilities, once her favorability rating increases, it's unlikely she'll allow me to cultivate favorability with other girls... In short, I'll put this person on my list of potential favorability targets for now and refrain from actively provoking her.
The boring opening ceremony ended, and the new students returned to their classes one after another. Uchiha sat quietly by the window, pondering how to increase his favorability rating while attending class.
As expected of a prestigious university, the freshmen were already in a high-intensity learning state on their very first day of school.
I heard that Shuchiin Academy holds a monthly exam for the entire grade every month, and the results are posted on the corridor below the teaching building.
Incidentally, Uchiha Ryo's entrance exam score was third in the entire school because he felt it was just a simple entrance exam and there was no need to aim for a perfect score.
The first place naturally belongs to the ice-cold Kaguya Shinomiya, and the second place goes to her relative, the frequently persecuted Shijou Maki. As for the fierce-looking Shirogane, he seems to be ninth. For an external student who managed to get into Shuchiin Academy, this is already a pretty good result.
During lunch break, Uchiha stood up to go to the cafeteria when he caught a glimpse of Shirogane Miyuki awkwardly extending his hand and then slowly lowering it.
As for Shirogane Miyuki's sudden goodwill, Uchiha Ryo could probably guess that it was probably due to their shared plight as exogenous beings.
Unfortunately, you're just a lamb I'm trying to gain favor with and exploit.
...Never mind. What can I do? I have such a gentle younger brother, and besides, if Aunt Fujiwara asks me if I've made any new friends, it won't be easy to answer.
Are you going to eat?
Uchiha Ryo did not leave immediately, but turned to look at Shirogane Miyuki.
"Oh, I was just about to go eat too, let's go then."
[Silver Imperial's Affection Increased - G-Spot +20]
Something's not right. I still suspect there's something wrong with this growth rate!
"Let's go then, to the cafeteria."
Uchiha Ryo pointed in the direction of the cafeteria, but Shirogane Miyuki's expression froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth almost imperceptibly. "Okay, let's go to the cafeteria then."
Is he hesitating? It's just going to the cafeteria, why?
"...Never mind, I'm not hungry at noon. I'll just buy some bread from the convenience store near the school gate."
"Haha, actually, me too." Shirogane Miyuki gave a genuine smile.
[Silver Imperial's Affection Increased - G-Spot +10]
As expected, the Shirogane family had significant financial problems, and Shirogane Miyuki had to work most of the time to support the family. After all, he had to send two children to the prestigious Shuchiin Academy, so it was clear that Shirogane Miyuki was handing over most of his living expenses to his sister.
However, the dining hall at Shuchiin Academy is not cheap for the Shirogane family.
"Uchiha-kun, you're an external applicant like me, right? What made you decide to apply here? To be honest, my dad submitted my special admission application without my permission, really..."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled, "I think I can gain quite a bit from Shuchiin, that's all."
The two bought half-price fried noodles at the convenience store, found a shady spot at the edge of the playground, and sat down to eat.
"Speaking of which, the surname Uchiha sounds familiar... Ah, I remember now. I think I've seen it in a manga!"
Shirogane Miyuki looked at Uchiha Ryo curiously, "Uchiha-kun, have you read it? It seems to have started serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump about two years ago, Sasuke-sensei's 'Naruto'!"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Yeah, that manga is very popular, but it's just a coincidence that it matches my name."
This is a lie!
As a transmigrator with a system, learning painting skills and recreating "Naruto" is not difficult. In fact, this is largely thanks to Natsume for providing him with a few G-spots.
"I see... Hey, Uchiha-kun, we're friends now, right?"
Suddenly, Shirogane Miyuki asked uncertainly.
"..."
The student council president Shirogane Miyuki in his first year of high school was quite different from the one he remembered. He was insecure, slightly misanthropic, and had already experienced the cruelty of society while other students were celebrating their youth.
"Ah, found it!"
Looking up, a silver-haired girl in a middle school uniform jogged over, her deep blue eyes somewhat similar to those of the girl beside her, Shirogane Miyuki.
"Honestly, I didn't find you in the cafeteria, so I guessed you'd be buying this kind of bread outside."
"Um... Xiao Gui."
The girl called Xiao Gui pouted, "Anyway, bro, come with me to the cafeteria. Don't eat this kind of unhealthy bread outside."
Shirogane Miyuki was quite embarrassed and gave Uchiha Ryo a slightly apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, this is my younger sister. Please excuse the embarrassing situation."
Shirogane Kei then noticed Uchiha Ryo standing next to Shirogane Miyuki. "Ah! You're my brother's friend? Nice to meet you. I really didn't expect you to make a friend on your first day of school."
"Hey, how terrible do you think I am?"
Uchiha Ryo sized up the white-haired little girl who could be described as "cute" at first glance, and she even gave him a kind smile.
"Hello, senior. I am Kei Shirogane from the junior high school. My older brother is terrible, but I'm counting on you."

Uchiha Ryo returned the smile, "Yes, I'm Uchiha Ryo, in the same class as Shirogane. Shirogane is my friend, and as for eating bread here, it was my idea, sorry."
Sorry, Shirogane Miyuki, but the moment I saw your sister, I knew I had to be your friend!
