The bus arrived, Accelerator got up and grabbed his crutch to get on the bus while denying help from the other passengers. He sat down with an unfazed but on guard expression being around people not from Academy City no one recognizing him and no one using their powers. It will take a long and hard time getting used to not using powers but he had to put up with it.

Accelerator sat down and noticed the passengers adults and his students from the same school can't help but stare at him for his unusual appearance. His white hair can be ignored but what made people stare at him is his pale skin this is caused by his ability, as it blocks ultraviolet rays, thereby preventing his body from producing melanin. His ability also reduces the outside influence so much that it causes a loss of balance in his hormones, giving him what he calls an "androgynous appearance,".Of course, normal people won't know instead they would probably think he has Albinism is a group of inherited disorders that results in little or no production of the pigment melanin, which determines the color of the skin, hair, and eyes which is a kind of the same with the effect of his ability. He ignored all the stares and looked out of the buses' window.

The passengers are diverse mostly filled with students attending the same school as him and adults that mostly fit the businessmen type. An elderly woman arrived at the bus and unfortunate for her the bus seems full.

"Excuse me, but shouldn't you offer your seat?" A female voice called out. Accelerator turned to the voice to find a female student with short beige-colored hair, gradient crimson eyes, a well-endowed figure, and an average height calling out to anyone who would offer a seat to the elderly woman.

Accelerator ignored the commotion knowing some goody two shoes will stand up to help and continued to look out the window.

"Everyone, please listen to me for just a moment. Won't someone give up their seat for this woman? It doesn't matter who. Please." The girl continued with her plea

"Tch" Accelerator annoyed grabbed his crutch and offered a seat to the elderly. The girl rejoiced but seeing Accelerator with a crutch made him handicapped made her uneasy.

"Umm well thank you but your handicapped it's fine," the girl said to Accelerator

"I am not doing this for the old hag I am doing this because you won't stop yapping." He spat out the girl and to everyone making sure they don't get the wrong idea that he is a softie and approachable.

"Ehehehe well it was still very nice of you." the girl said with an adorable smile as she palmed her hands unfazed by Accelerator's aggressive and rude response. After assisting the elderly woman she then grabbed his hands.

"But still your disabled for helping that lady you can hold unto me until we reach school." the girl said to the white-haired boy apparently having difficulty in the moving bus.

"Since when have I gotten soft, Oh yeah I am not in Academy CIty do I still need to be the villain here," he thought while trying to push off the girl's attempt to hold unto him.

The girl placed her arms around Accelerator's shoulder ignoring his aggressive reactions.

"It's alright my name Kikyo Kushida whats your kind person." The girl known as Kushida asked unknowingly she stroke Accelerator inside being called a kind person after being called so many awful things to which he deserved and didn't deserve.

"Tch Asao Asahiko." He responded annoyingly which made the girl smile.

"Well nice to meet you Asahiko-kun hope we get along and have a nice school year."

Accelerator annoyed now holding onto a girl she just met and thought that this kind will probably happen often. The bus arrived at the school the students got off followed by Accelerator with help from Kushida and parted ways.

Everyone gathered to attend the ceremony which most do not want to. Most people have a face that says "I really wish I really wish I weren't here right now" Accelerator was one of them.

"And now we shall hear some words from the student council president." a female student announced.

"Thank you for the introduction I am Manabu Horikita, newcomers as a representative of the upperclassmen and your student council president I extend a warm welcome to you all as I am sure you are all aware our school is known for its prestige and distinction on all fronts, it boasts impeccable employment and college entry rates across the board, We take pride in this in fact it's our school's number one priority we all work together to uphold the standard of excellence, now you are a part of that too we expect greatness from all of you and we know you can, your success here hinges on merit so you alone control your path. "

The student council president made his speech which Accelerator laughed at internally at the flaws of the idea. Basing someone's worth on merit. A meritocracy a system in which power is vested in individual people on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement, rather than wealth or social class. Advancement in such a system is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated. It is a good system to an extent but defining and measuring merit such as n individual in school is a perennially difficult problem that is easy to get wrong. He could go into detail based on his time in Academy City the education system, Power Curriculum Program, this advanced system is all flawed. Hard work alone does not guarantee success in life it is one necessity but that alone isn't gonna get you on top.

The ceremony continued with the principal and the students exchange excessive words of gratitude, which Accelerator ignored if he is allowed to use his ability he would cancel his ability to be alone in his head with thoughts. Accelerator now trying to attempt to fall asleep while standing up was surprised at the next announcement.

"Hello before you all go back and start this new school year I would like to announce to you that we have a very special guest whose name will be kept in secret, A student from Academy City yes Academy City a city of several schools and institutions of higher learning, with the scientists who research on psychic powers and higher technology, The most advanced city in the world and its technology is said to be 20 or 30 years ahead of the world. A city that can produce ability users." The announcer turned out to be Chairman Sakayanagi.

The students in the gym were surprised by a mix of excitement, confusion, awe, and fear.

"Academy City you mean one of us is an esper Woah."

"Really Academy City is the best."

"I wish I was raised there it's the best place on Earth."

"Errr Academy City ahh what's the point of trying."

Accelerator observed the different reactions the students were having, angered by their cluelessness of what Academy City truly is, with what he's been through.

No matter what status one is in society low, middle or high there will always be darkness, suffering, and pain. To truly win life is to find something worth going through all that. Accelerator wondered if he achieved this.

"His name will not be revealed for obvious reasons but I do hope that you will treat that person equally in this school that will be all thank you," Sakayanagi announced then leaving the stage.

After the ceremony, the students all left to go to their respective classrooms. Accelerator now outside of his classroom bored but a little anxious hoping for the event that happened earlier with Kushida won't happen again.

"Tch whatever," he said to himself as he opened the door of his classroom grabbing his crutch tightly to make sure it doesn't make too much of a loud sound.

As the door opened most of the students inside stared at the student with an unusual appearance, Accelerator unfazed but annoyed hoping this wouldn't happen as he ignores the looks and whispers, and proceeds to find a vacant seat at the back. He spotted a desirable empty seat by the window at the back a place he could look out to since he mostly knows all lessons and wouldn't participate much and he can place his crutch within reach next to the wall.

After approaching the seat and sitting down he gave off an unapproachable atmosphere around him making his surrounding students uneasy or awkward which is what he wanted, He never wanted friends or to get to the top he already is in many ways he just wanted to be in normal peace he couldn't get in Academy City because of his status and power.

The students around him continue to comment on his appearance and the unapproachable aura that he gives off until one of his classmates decided to approach him a girl with back-length strawberry-blonde hair and blue eyes. long, light pinkish-type hair which travels down in length to her waist, an extremely well-endowed figure.

"Hi, there welcome to Class B I am Ichinose Honami Nice to meet ya ." the strawberry hair happily introduced herself.

If only they knew that this boy the girl is introducing herself to is a boy with darkness inside his head, a boy who almost followed the footsteps of a psychopath, a boy has kill count of more than 1000 people most of them young girls, a boy, if he wanted to, could kill everyone in this school with the most painful death imaginable with a single life of a finger if he wanted to, a boy who prides himself to be a true villain.

"Asao Asahiko." Accelerator replied uninterested not even bothering to make eye contact with the girl.

"Well nice to meet you Asahiko-san I hope we get along ." The girl waved and cheerfully walked back to her clique. The exchange between the kind girl and Accelerator amused the whole class giving them the feeling of approachability and sweet kindness of the girl. A feeling that says "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask me and I'll help whenever I can." not in a sexual way but in a genuinely kind way.

The students all continued to comment on the event but were interrupted as the teacher arrived, everyone rushed to their seats and fixed themselves. The teacher a young adult woman of average height with chest-length light-brown hair that is curled at the bottom with bangs hanging on the right side, purple eyes and a slim but well-endowed body stood in the middle for her greeting. Apparently, the teacher was wobbly standing as if she was drunk or on a hangover.

"Hello Class I am Chie Hoshonomiya and I will be your homeroom teacher." The homeroom teacher strugglingly introduced. Accelerator thought she, Yoshikawa, and Yomikawa would get along so well and that she is not really a good teacher.

The class is unknown on how to respond to the jittery teacher's introduction.

"For the next three years, I will be acting as your homeroom teacher, so I hope to get to know all of you. It's so nice to meet you all." The girl continued struggling to explain with a cheerful painful smile as she continued to talk.

"I will now hand out your student ID cards. By using your card, you can access any of the facilities on campus, purchase goods from the store, and soon. It acts like a credit card. but you better pay attention to the points that you spend. At this school, you can use your points to buy anything. You can buy anything on school premises ."Our points, loaded onto our student ID cards, acted as a kind of currency. This would prevent many students' financial troubles. However, You all need to keep a watchful eye on your spending habits. At any rate, the school provided these points free of charge."Your student cards can be used simply by swiping them through the machine scanner. "

"Points are automatically deposited into your account on the first of every month. You should all have received 100,000 points already. Keep in mind that one point is worth one yen. No further explanation should be necessary."

The classroom erupted in joy and confusion. They all received a 100,000-yen monthly allowance from the school upon admission. Accelerator didn't expect this kind of money as it is the same amount given to high-level espers who participate in experiments and projects.100,000 yen is a rather large sum of money for an average high schooler. Accelerator still showed no expression of joy on the outside due to the possibility of a catch as it's like giving a large amount of money to a spoiled child and expecting them to survive on it for a month.

"Are you all very happy? this school evaluates its students' talent everyone here has passed the entrance examination, which itself speaks to your value and potential. The amount you've received reflects the evaluation of your worth. You can use your points to all your heart's desire. After graduation, all of your points return to the school so there's no point in saving them. Once points have been deposited into your account, it's up to you how to spend them as you wish. In the event that you don't want to spend your points, you may transfer them to someone else. However, there are still rules you still have to follow when spending the money" The girl explained while the class shocked at how the teacher can still give a concrete explanation despite her composure.

After the explanation and the bewilderment of the students on being given a large amount of money given to them as many could not hide their surprise the teacher Ms. Honomiya now wobbly left the room leaving the students with confusion giving them free time. Accelerator silent played around with his student ID card and thought about everything.

This government-sponsored school's thorough guidance of its students hoped to ensure a better future. The school heavily advertised this. Many of its alumni went on to achieve fame some even went to Academy City. Typically, no matter how famous or impressive a school might be, the areas of specialization are limited unlike in Academy City. Only this school had that kind of name-brand value.

"Hello there everyone." the same girl Ichinose who Accelerator spoke earlier stood up after some silence made when the teacher left.

"As you all know I am Ichinose Honami since we're all going to be classmates so why not we introduce ourselves and become friends so what do you say? ."

The majority of students were lost in thought, unable to speak up. but the lost thought ended as they all seemed to agree and one by one most of the students stood up for an introduction mostly done in schools especially Elementary, except Accelerator who showed no interest decided to close his eyes with no desire to sleep but to relax, to enjoy this peace and quiet, no attack, no dealing with the obnoxious kid, no Yoshikawa, and Yomikawa just peace. He remembered his so-called family would be given protection when he agreed so he can rest easy even if he can't fully trust them, Accelerator does not even trust himself to an extent.

' I-I am Ch-Chihiro Shiranami ni-nice to meet you all." a female student introduced.

"I am Ryūji Kanzaki a pleasure to meet you all." a male student followed with a mix of seriousness and kindness.

"I am Yume Kobashi."

"I am Ryōta Beppu."

"Sayo Andō"

"Kozue Minamikata"

One by one every student introduced themselves, Accelerator listened to the names he will forget soon for a while until he lost interest to go back to his own world in his head and hoped he won't get called. After every student introduced Accelerator was the only one who didn't participate. The whole class turned to him to see his eye's closed relaxing on his table. Intimidated by his unapproachable aura the class went into silence then commenting on the situation.

"What is he some sort of delinquent?"

"Do you think he is one of the anti-social kinds?"

"He looks so cool and scary at the same time."

They continued to chat until again Accelerator is approached by Ichinose and gently woke him up. Accelerator when he opened his eyes looked around him he noticed that most of his classmate observed him as if he was some new undiscovered species who just popped up. So much for laying low.

"Tch Asao Asahiko." He said with small anger hoping it would remove the attention which failed.

"Why don't you tell us about yourself Asahiko ," Ichinose asked him with a cute smile.

"Tch" Accelerator paused

"Well I am the stronger esper in Academy City(who got defeated by some random guy so that doesn't matter anymore) don't fuck with me and you will be guaranteed to live longer, so fuck off and let me sleep."

He wished he could say that in front of the whole class so instead he internally said it.

"Well let's see I am handicapped but don't give me special treatment, I don't have a case of albinism if that's what your wondering this is natural,I don't plan on making friends that's all."

He introduced in an uninterested low tone which gave the whole class so many thoughts about him.

"Well ehehehe what happened to you that caused your disability if you don't mind me asking." Ichinose pushed on which made Accelerator annoyed.

"An accident happened, I could stand without it but not for much longer I need my crutch in order to stand and walk with support." He explained with a lie as the true reason is that it is used to support his body when not using the esper mode after being partly disabled from being shot in the head.

"Oh I see well sorry that happened well you are always welcome to join us if you want Asahiko-san ," Ichinose bowed and faced the class unsure what to make of the exchange without turning back with one last word for him.

"I see, you're the kind that distances himself from others, I won't judge but if you need anything feel free to ask any one of us you're always welcomed ,"

Ichinose said as she walked toward his clique.

During the free time when not relaxing Accelerator observed his classmates watching them interact with each other, form cliques, goof off, and other aspects of school life he missed out on.

"So this is normal, I don't get it."

He mentally concluded as he closed his eyes until the next subject teacher arrived.
