My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 2: Confession Interception Progress

The auditorium was deathly silent, even Shirakawa Sawahei's homeroom teacher, Uehara Shigeo, couldn't help but think to himself that this student of his was probably destined to be alone forever...

"To actually say something like that to a girl... Senior is really awful..."

"So arrogant! Who's going to take him down in the next test? Oh, we're all in the bottom ranks, never mind then."

"Actually... the way Senior said that was pretty impressive... kind of cool~"

"But isn't that senior sister too pitiful... clearly the one being confessed to, yet Senior Shirakawa said those kinds of words..."

Before everyone could react any further, Shirakawa Sawahei walked off the stage, completely indifferent to the gazes fixed upon him.

To him, this speech was just something he was forced to do when there was no way to avoid it. It wouldn't affect his scholarship anyway, so they could do whatever they wanted.

As for classmate Hayakawa Kashi... all he could say was sorry, it was all the fault of that low-grade system, not even remotely his fault.

Confessing was impossible, real men should do what real men do, like studying!

Mita Takuma watched Shirakawa Sawahei walk down, feeling hesitant again. Given the situation, his confession was already off to a hellish start, and insisting on going through might just earn him a 'nice guy' card from junior Hayakawa...

But if he didn't confess... he was already this far...

"Please wait, Shirakawa."

Hayakawa Kashi called out to Shirakawa Sawahei as he was about to leave. Her voice was calm and cool, without the slightest hint of reproach.

Seeing the female lead of the event speak, everyone held their breath, eager to scoot closer to better observe the development.

Could it be... was this confession actually orchestrated by the girl?!

The expected shoujo manga turned into a reverse chase! That's quite the twist!

Shirakawa Sawahei stopped in his tracks.

"You just said you're not interested in girls ranked lower than you..."

Hayakawa Kashi paused for a moment, then looked up with an expression that was both a smile and a sneer, saying lightly.

"I'll work hard."

"..."

Though his heart was shattered into a QR code, Mita Takuma still forced a smile to go on stage and give the final speech. After experiencing such a youthful event, the new students were rather distracted during the student council president's speech.

This situation continued until the dean returning from the restroom brought it under control.

Pretending not to see the cherry blossom petals all over the place, the dean gave Mita Takuma on stage a knowing look.

We deans have professional training, there's no way we could be bought off, unless his relatives are on the board of trustees...

Hang in there, young man!

The return of the dean ensured no more mishaps in this opening ceremony. Shirakawa Sawahei also orderly exited with the crowd after the ceremony ended.

Classmates around were more or less discussing the events that just transpired, also sneaking glances at the male lead of the incident.

But Shirakawa Sawahei acted as if he didn't notice them, heading straight to the classroom. He even ignored the abrupt sound in his mind announcing the progress increase of the task.

His original name was Shirazawa, and though it sounded like a mythical creature from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he was an ordinary person of Huaxia. He was living a plain life in Huaxia, until one day he suddenly died and his soul transmigrated to this parallel-like world...

And the original owner, who came alone to study in the big city despite family hardships, for some reason sighed at the heavens' jealousy of the talented, drinking a few bottles of liquor brought from home, which then benefitted the transmigrated Shirazawa.

Truly an unexpected death.

To be honest, having no experience with transmigration the first time and unexpectedly gaining the world's strongest identity left Shirakawa Sawahei somewhat melancholic.

Putting aside world-saving responsibilities for now, he was a college graduate who had already crossed the lonely bridge of the gaokao, never expecting to have to go through it again.

Moreover, the mess left by the original owner was equally troublesome. Not only was the family extremely poor, but to seem affluent after arriving in the big city, he even took out a loan via some means to put on a facade!

Upon learning this from the memory of the original owner, Shirakawa Sawahei could only sigh in relief, thankful it wasn't a fruit loan...

Since starting over, Shirakawa Sawahei naturally wouldn't allow himself to just sink into obscurity.

First, he sold everything the original owner purchased with the loan, including some unnecessary things. He managed to pay off some of the debt, buying him a few extra days on the payment deadline.

Then, during the vacation before school began, he crazily worked part-time to earn his living expenses. Thanks to Neon's decent part-time wages, he finally managed to eke out a living before starting his first year of high school.

The initially dreadful situation seemed somewhat improved, but this couldn't continue; part-time work was merely a temporary solution! There's no way he could live on odd jobs forever. To change fate against all odds, he had to rely on studying to alter his destiny!

Later, he found out that with his transmigration came a system...

Not some "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" Long Aotian rise system, but a low-class "Ultimate Universal Intelligent Being Strategy System."

Aside from being able to target strategy objectives and gain their specialties and talents, the system had yet to show any other functions.

This discovery left Shirakawa Sawahei feeling quite conflicted.

To say this thing was a transmigration perk... he felt unworthy to face the numerous transmigrator seniors. But to say it wasn't... this was indeed the only special advantage heaven granted him...

Since beginning high school after transmigrating, Shirakawa Sawahei only selected two talented girls as study friends to help him grind study-related skills. Although these study friends did provide substantial help, compared to those who could control the stars, shatter the universe, and dominate eternally like Long Aotian, they were insignificant.

If push comes to shove, I'd even settle for some x-ray vision glasses, wouldn't that be much more useful and convenient than this strategy system? Most importantly, it could even ensure I survive for a few thousand Chapters!

Comparing oneself to others leads to despair; comparing goods leads to discarding!

Silently shaking his head, Shirakawa Sawahei decided not to waste mental energy on that low-grade system. He sat back in his original seat, pulled out a book, and began studying.

Hard work pays off, Shirakawa Sawahei didn't believe that, with his efforts and the minutely helpful system, he couldn't carve out a perfect life!

As for strategizing with girls? Heh, who finds women more interesting than learning!

I love studying the most!

Before Shirakawa Sawahei could do more than two math problems, his homeroom teacher Uehara Shigeo entered the classroom.

A balding middle-aged man in his forties, his slightly plump face bore an honest and kindly smile. Entering the classroom, he first put down his teaching materials, then glanced in Shirakawa Sawahei's direction.

"...Mr. Shirakawa, please come out for a moment, we need your cooperation on something... The rest of you, please stay in the classroom, we won't be long..."

Shirakawa Sawahei closed his book and got up to leave. It was no surprise; it was probably the school's investigation again. After all, counting his first year, he'd already inadvertently walked into others' confessions four times.

And the confession target was even the same person!

As they walked, Uehara Shigeo gently reassured Shirakawa Sawahei, subtly hinting that he fully believed in his innocence regarding the incident. Bringing him along was just a formality.

"Although the main culprit is at large, the accomplice of the confessor was cornered in the auditorium's control room, and we're going mainly to get them to apologize to you and Hayakawa."

Shirakawa Sawahei acknowledged indifferently, not paying much attention to Uehara Shigeo's words. In some sense, he was also a victim, so receiving an apology from them was not unreasonable.

As for who to blame for ruining their confession plan? Sorry, please blame that low-grade system.
