Kakegurui: Ten Consecutive Guaranteed Hits

Volume 1 Chapter 3: Advanced Nurturing High School? Not Even Dogs Want To Attend!

Why was there a dump truck driving on the commercial street at such a late hour?

It had been five years since his reincarnation. This question had been lingering in Kiyohei's mind for five years.

He was still pondering, not only about the incident of being hit by a dump truck and sent flying, but also about unexpectedly crossing over. Even encountering such an improbable event, he couldn't figure out whether his luck was good or bad.

In his previous life, Kiyohei had read many light novels as a pastime during his leisure time. Getting hit by a truck and then being reborn in another world.

Meeting a goddess, obtaining "abilities" and "equipment" from her, or acquiring a special "system" after the transmigration, completing various missions to earn rewards...

These were already the standard elements of transmigration novels, and such themes had become extremely common. Without some fresh ideas, they wouldn't even qualify to be used as toilet paper.

After his transmigration, he actively searched for any signs of possessing a system or the existence of extraordinary creatures in this world.

However, to his dismay, he discovered through his research that there were no monsters, no masked riders, no espers, no zombies, and no predecessors who had transmigrated. He had been reborn into a parallel world that was remarkably similar to the modern city of his previous life.

The year of his rebirth was 2014, and now five years had passed, bringing it to 2019, yet no special events had occurred.

He had already completed middle school and was contemplating which high school to attend.

After Teacher Hiratsuka left, his father initially thought about finding him another private tutor, but he refused and decided to attend regular middle school like any other student.

His father, Atsuomi Ayanokōji, and his older brother, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, did not come back to live with him, so he began living alone.

Besides the utility bills, Atsuomi left him a monthly allowance of 300,000 Japanese yen, equivalent to about 18,000 Chinese yuan, as his pocket money.

300,000 yen, in his previous life, was just slightly more than the first month's salary he had just received, which hadn't even had time to cool down, totaling only 8,000 yuan.

His previous goal had been to earn the pocket money of a second-generation wealthy individual, but now that he had it, he felt a significant discrepancy and was stunned for quite some time upon seeing the amount of money.

His father, Atsuomi Ayanokōji was a generous person. In addition to the pocket money, he would also give Kiyohei a substantial red envelope on special occasions.

Kiyohei didn't have extravagant expenses in his daily life, so after careful consideration and relying on his memories from his previous life, he decided to invest all the millions of yen he had saved.

The majority of the funds went into Bitcoin, while the rest went into purchasing stocks of companies that he knew would inevitably increase in value, thanks to his future knowledge.

Even his father had no idea that, five years after his rebirth, his son Kiyohei was now worth billions, and his wealth was continually appreciating.

Now he was troubled, wondering which high school to attend.

Kiyohei didn't embrace consumerism, as his net worth was enough to sustain him for several lifetimes. Unlike in his previous life, he lacked the motivation to go to school.

If compulsory education didn't exist, he wouldn't even want to attend middle school and would prefer to laze around at home.

His older brother, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who was one year older, was attending a prestigious high school in Tokyo called the "Advanced Nurturing High School."

According to rumors, this school was known for achieving nearly 100% success in further education and employment, making it one of the top-ranking schools nationwide.

The school boasted state-of-the-art teaching equipment, allowed students to have freedom in their hairstyles and personal belongings, and reportedly provided monthly points worth 100,000 yen for students to use as they pleased. It sounded like a paradise-like school.

Countless top-performing students in Japan desperately wanted to be admitted to this school, believing that being accepted would make them winners.

However, upon learning about the true nature of the school from his older brother, Kiyohei sneered. That school was not a paradise; it was a hell of intense competition.

It was an elitist school where only the excellent students enjoyed privileges, while the weaker ones received the lowest treatment and were at risk of expulsion at any time. It reminded Kiyohei of Hengshui Middle School in China.

This school ranks students based on their academic performance, with Class A being the best and Class D being the worst. Students in Class D are those who barely meet the school's minimum score requirements.

In the eyes of Kiyohei, his brother Kiyotaka is undoubtedly a genius. Yet, even such a genius can only be placed in the lowest-ranking class and receive the lowest treatment!

As a reincarnated individual, Kiyohei couldn't fathom how some monsters or demons managed to excel in this school.

Kiyotaka informed Kiyohei about these details when he returned home yesterday during the holiday.

To Kiyohei surprise, after revealing this information, Kiyotaka actually advised him to consider applying to this school, assuring him that he wouldn't regret it.

What a joke! Did he really expect Kiyohei to join in on this intense competition? He had no inclination for self-torture. No way he would go! He wouldn't even consider attending Advanced Nurturing High School!

Upon learning about the dog-eat-dog nature and intense competition within the school, Kiyohei firmly decided he didn't want to go there.

In his previous life, Kiyohei had already had enough of the daily high school collective life filled with classes. In this life, he finally had a relaxed daily routine, and he wouldn't willingly step into that fire pit again!

Having moved on from the shadows of heartbreak, Kiyohei focused on making money during his three years of middle school. Now that he had money, he looked around at all the couples and felt a twinge of jealousy.

He wanted to experience love too!

He hoped that his high school life would be like the ones depicted in anime, filled with youthful energy and accompanied by female companions, rather than endless days of exams!

Even when Kiyotaka told him that the quality of girls in that school was exceptionally high and that finding a girlfriend wouldn't be difficult once he established himself in the school, Kiyohei Ayanokoji's desire remained unchanged.

Even when Kiyotaka showed him a photo of his girlfriend, "Kei Karuizawa," it didn't sway Kiyohei Ayanokoji's opinion.

Kiyotaka went as far as to promise that if Kiyohei attended that school, he would help him find a beautiful, kind, good-natured girl with a large chest as a girlfriend.

He tried hard to persuade Kiyohei, wanting him to leave their father and come to his side.

This offer was tempting, but after a restless night of consideration, Kiyohei informed Kiyotaka the next morning that he wouldn't attend that school.

Although the prospect of having a girlfriend excited him, Kiyohei would rather choose to remain single than continue competing and getting caught up in the rat race at that school.

After failing to persuade his younger brother, Kiyotaka left the house disappointed. Not long after, their father, Atsuomi Ayanokōji, unexpectedly paid them a visit, inquiring about Kiyotaka's return.

Just like before, Atsuomi only came home for a day each month. This spacious house had been under Kiyohei Ayanokoji's sole control for the past few years. His recent visit was out of the ordinary.

Kiyohei calmly invited his father inside and nonchalantly replied, "Nothing, but my older brother wanted me to attend Advanced Nurturing High School, and I declined."

Upon hearing Kiyohei Ayanokoji's response, Atsuomi didn't seem surprised. He smiled and asked, "Kiyohei, do you really not want to attend Advanced Nurturing High School? Weren't you disappointed in middle school when you couldn't go to the same school as your brother?"

"I don't want to go. I don't want to enter a high school that's like a prison," Kiyohei sighed and shook his head.
