Chapter 34 34: Kyōgoku Makoto's Body

Seeing the last few minutes of the anime.

Anibro widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

This final twist... awesome!

Learning that Money-Giving Guy was actually the culprit who caused Class D's Class Points to drop to zero, even Anibro, who had watched many anime, hadn't expected it.

Even seeing Money-Giving Guy's personal points exceed 20 million at the end didn't surprise him as much.

The live broadcast of the first episode of Classroom of the Elite had ended, and the screen before him turned black, with only the fans' comments scrolling by.

[Money-Giving Guy: Didn't expect that, did you? The villain is me, Takada Hikaru!]

[Ayanokoji: Horikita, are you sure you can advance to Class A?

Horikita: Yes, I can.]

Excluding a few people playing memes, most viewers were shocked by Takada Hikaru's appearance in the final moments.

Anibro rubbed his face a few times with his palm, then began to share his insights. "This final twist... truly unexpected."

"In everyone's impression, Money-Giving Guy's image was basically that of a good person, like spending money to have someone give up their seat for an old lady, hinting to Horikita at the convenience store, and standing up for his friend during the Club Orientation—all giving a very good impression."

"He not only left a deep impression on everyone, but it was always the impression of a good person, which is why the final twist caught everyone off guard."

Anibro paused. "The anime already stated that this is a school where merit rules, and classes compete with each other. Only those who graduate as Class A can be considered winners."

"Money-Giving Guy learned the truth about the school on the very first day, and so, from that moment on, he participated in the class competition in his own way."

"If that's the case, then his actions are understandable."

That is the mechanism of the school. If you want to receive the school's benefits, you need to defeat the other three classes. This setting is quite novel and particularly exciting, Anibro felt the urge to keep watching.

[But why did Money-Giving Guy target Class D?]

[Logically speaking, shouldn't he have defeated the strongest competitor, Class A?]

[To the previous comment, Money-Giving Guy already defeated Class A, he just struck down Class D along the way.]

[I guess Class D didn't have many class points to begin with, so one hit from Money-Giving Guy immediately reduced them to zero.]

[Didn't everyone notice the female teacher who appeared at the end? Judging by her dialogue, it seems she instructed Money-Giving Guy to target Class D.]

That's right!

Seeing the fans' comments, Anibro recalled the teacher who appeared at the end.

"Based on my experience, there are only a few reasons why that teacher would do this."

"One is that she has a grudge against someone in Class D, possibly a student, or more likely, a teacher."

"Another is that she discovered a particularly formidable person in Class D who might threaten her class, so she told Money-Giving Guy to strike Class D."

"The last possibility is simply wanting to test Money-Giving Guy's skill level, but considering Money-Giving Guy has already earned so many points, testing shouldn't be necessary."

In Anibro's view, the first two possibilities are the most likely, perhaps even existing simultaneously.

But then again, how did Money-Giving Guy manage to earn 20 million points?

Could the school have other hidden rules?

The COTE world.

Watching his Popularity Points grow to 500,000, Takada Hikaru was in an extremely good mood.

He worked hard to collect points from the Third Year students, all for the sake of thoroughly shocking the audience after succeeding, right?

The current high Popularity Points of 500,000 proved that his efforts were not in vain.

Although these Popularity Points were also influenced by him leading Class B to Class A and resetting Class D's class points to zero, the act of collecting 20 million points in the first month definitely accounted for a large portion of it.

'Open the System Mall.' Takada Hikaru recited silently in his mind.

After a month, he opened the System Mall again.

The mall this month still only had one item.

[Kyōgoku Makoto's Body]

[Price: 250,000 Popularity Points]

[Description: The strongest combatant in the Detective Conan World. But please be careful not to overuse your power, or you will be greeted by the Operating Table and Dissection.]

Takada Hikaru's eyes lit up as he looked at the newly appeared item.

Excellent. He could finally prioritize might.

In Advanced Nurturing High School, academic performance cannot be said to be useless, but at least it can be said to be not of much use.

On the contrary, physical might can solve most problems.

During the First Year Arc, some people joked that physical force was used too often to solve problems in the series.

But after the Second Year Arc, the frequency of using physical might to solve problems increased even more. As a result, the series was mocked by people as a Vocational School Melee.

Takada Hikaru wasn't a violent person who wished to solve problems with force. But in this school, lacking physical might is a very troublesome thing. At the very least, he needed the ability to protect himself.

'But with Kyōgoku Makoto's strength, I should be able to dominate this world, right?'

Thinking that he would soon be able to run along walls and destroy them, Takada Hikaru felt quite excited.

'Exchange for the item, Kyōgoku Makoto's Body.'

[Consuming 250,000 Popularity Points]

[Kyōgoku Makoto's Body successfully exchanged]

As the system's cold and emotionless voice slowly faded, Takada Hikaru felt his body enveloped by a mysterious and powerful force, beginning an astonishing transformation.

His physical body, which he had long been intimately familiar with, suddenly felt so foreign.

His muscle lines were distinct, seemingly containing infinite strength. Simultaneously, techniques for controlling power and knowledge of combat merged into his body.

Takada Hikaru slowly lowered his head, gazing at his palms, quietly sensing the surging power within his grasp.

This power was so immense that it gave him an unprecedented sense of confidence. Even if a bear appeared before him, it would be knocked out with a single punch and then kept as a pet.

Just as he was wondering whether he should go to the Karate club to test his skills, the Terminal in his pocket vibrated slightly. Someone had sent him a message.

[Takada-san, we agreed to have dinner at Spia Restaurant tonight, and then go to the Karaoke place until nine. We'll be waiting for you.]

The person who sent the message was Andō Sayo.

When he left, his classmates had already discussed where they were going to hang out.
