What is the most important moment for a first-year student? The time of the presentations, whose origin is older than the notion of school. Knowing someone's name is a constitutive pillar of any emotional connection with that person; a connection that is naturally created by sharing time with them. Obviously, students will create this connection with their peers sooner or later. It can be weak or strong, What depending on whether it is former or the latter? Tags. When you interact with a classmate, you perceive his expressions, hear his words, feel his tone, etc. And from that, voluntarily or involuntarily, you will classify him as shy, or happy, among others.

This information is valuable to me; because the last student in my class has entered the classroom and someone is about to say...

"Since we are all gathered, at last, we should introduce ourselves. If it's all right for you, I can start..."

Most of the girls nodded at this, and some of the boys have a nervous tic. To one of them, his left leg is shaking under his desk. To other, his right hand is opening and closing uninterruptedly.

The time to introduce yourself has come!

"My name is Hirata Yousuke. Since in high school I was often called by my first name, Yousuke, feel free to use it. Although I like all sports, I like soccer in particular and I plan to play soccer at this school as well. I'm in your care"

His presentation is exactly the same as the one he made in the novel. His tags are obvious: Friendly, kind, and quiet; namely, the perfect guy.

It was the same with Inogashira, Yamauchi, and Kushida.

Then it's my turn. I'm not going to do the same thing as my previous self, but I'll avoid being labeled by my words, because descriptions of things are usually self-perpetuating. Two people can hear a sentence and deduce things that contradict each other!

I stood up and gave everyone a warm smile.

"Koenji Rokusuke. I have many hobbies, and there are few things that I find unpleasant. I am in your care."

As I spoke, I slowly turned my body, so that by the end of my presentation I had rotated 360 degrees.

Kiyotaka was looking at me with an empty expression. Above his head I saw the same message as before, but I did not sense that evil aura of the bus.

As for Suzune, she snorted once for every sentence I uttered. You are so Tsundere.

I have a feeling that like Stalker-kun, Suzune will follow me, but unlike him, she will do so to help him achieve his own goals. Come. I have something special for you. You won't like it at first, but you'll probably get used to it soon. And if you do it right, you might...

While I was deep in thought, Hirata looked at the redhead. I don't remember his name, was it Kudo?...No.

"What a stupid thing to do! This isn't elementary school. We're not little kids!"

He ended his complaint by kicking his desk.

Hirata apologized to him, and the poor spoke nonsense again.

"I don't want to pretend we're friends."

Then he washed up to leave.

Time for work.

"Is one presentation enough to be a friend to a person? Ha! How many humans have you interacted with in, in your life? Two?"

"What did you say?!"

"We just want to know your name. Don't you want to tell us? I imagine it's awful and embarrassing. Let us guess... childish fool? ...from the look in your eyes, it looks like I'm right."

"My name is Sudou Ken, asshole!"

"Oh! it's not as ugly as I thought... thanks for introducing Sudou-kun"

I heard some giggling. Even Suzune has a slight smile.

Label obtained: Great person.
