As he awoke, the phrase 'Unfamiliar ceiling' crossed the boy's mind. He rose from the bed with a landing demeanor, making his way to the bathroom. Staring into the mirror, he contemplated the reflection before him.
Stairing back from the mirror was a young face, maybe around sixteen or seventeen years old with striking white hair with pale blue eyes. This face has a obvious charm, like 8.5 out of 10. The only issue was his somewhat dull and exhausted face.
But these features helped the young man figure out who he was. You see, this lifeless look with striking white hair is somewhat famous in the world of two dimension.
However, for some reason, I on the other hand transferred to this body. I thought I will got my original body, but never in my dreams I thought I will end up as Eishi Tsukasa.
Well to be honest, he is more handsome than my original self but somehow I still felt that it would be good to have my original appearance.
"It looks like I'm pretty good-looking. If you ignore this lifeless look, I'm quite attractive. But because of this haggard and lifeless look, my handsomeness seems a bit toned down."
Standing in front of the mirror, touching his face with one hand, now Eishi said to himself.
"Hey, I know you think you are handsome, Eishi, but if you don't hurry to wash up, let me go first. I need to get wash up too!"
Right as Eishi was being a bit too self-absorbed, a clear voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw a girl in pajamas standing there. She looked about sixteen or seventeen, same age as him. She have striking red hair and golden eyes.
From what she looked, it was obvious that she was his classmate and dormmate, Rindo Kobayashi.
With the confirmation of his identity, a rush of memories came pouring into his mind!
He hadn't expected that an ordinary otaku like him would end up in this world, taking on the role of Eishi.
"Hey~~~Eishi, move it! I'm going to wash up!"
As Eishi remained unfazed, Rindo let out a small yawn, revealing a cute little canine tooth peeking out from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that tiny canine tooth, a fleeting thought crossed Eishi's mind, prompting him to give himself a hard mental slap.
"Come on, Eishi, that's an acctual gorilla in human skin. If you do something inappropriate, she will choke you to death." He chided himself.
It looks like he needed to be more careful from now on.
"You are thinking something rude about me aren't you?" Girls as sharp as always, caught him.
"What! Of course not. All right, since my beautiful adorable Rindo-chan has spoken, let's have you little beauty go first and get ready!"
Being a true waifu collector, Eishi won't be rude to Rindo and turned down such a simple request. He just stepped aside.
From the memories he learned that in this timeline because of Azami Nakiri's pressure, Eishi Tsukasa challenged the senpais for the First seat.
There after defeating the senpais he finally claimed the First seat at the beginning of the second year but because of extreme exhaustion, he passed out and now he aquired this body.
But if he had to complain, the physical fitness of this body is terrible. No wonder he was exhaust to death.
He may have to work on physical fitness to improve himself.
While Eishi was on his own world of thinking, Rindo was sparkled with happiness, listening to Eishi's compliments about her cuteness and beauty. She headed to the mirror to start washing up.
"Oh, Eishi what you said just now, it really got me. But hey, have you finally reached that age where you care about how you look? I guess it's something every guy goes through." Rindo reminisced, recalling Eishi's earlier musings to himself.
Eishi waved it off saying, "Nah, I was just lost in thought. Rindo, go ahead and get ready. Today's my shift so I'm going to make breakfast." With a yawn, he left the bathroom, not wanting to dwell on the topic.
Upon reaching the kitchen, Eishi looked for ingredients before set about preparing breakfast.
Cooking breakfast was a breeze for him, given the original memories of Eishi Tsukasa. Not to mention, before transmigration he was a seasoned gamer. Living alone most of the time had granted him some cooking skills.
As he worked on breakfast, Eishi also organized his thoughts. Notably, he have learned cooking under Azami Nakiri privately and now in his second year, he already took the First seat at Tōtsuki.
But now Eishi became a puppet of Azami Nakiri's hands, and there is no way he can defy his orders even they were unreasonable.
The situation left him feeling somewhat powerless. He had been excited to look around the new world, find the heroines and flirt with them but he have to wait another year for that encounter.
On the bright side, the extra time would allow him to prepare more throughly. With a year ahead, he could ready himself for the eventual showdown between him and Erina.
Having said that, since I have transmigrated, I don't know if I have a cheat. What if I don't get a cheat like Cid Kagenou, thought he was granted magic upon rebirth. But still, it will make me embarrassed among the vast number of transmigrators.
"Okay first let's make something for everyone to eat." Said Eishi as he rolled up his sleeves prepared to cook.
As his mind wandered, a mechanical voice suddenly ring inside his mind.
[Detected host have fully assimilated with original body's memories]
[Detected host's desire of support system]
[Conditions have met]
[Fantasy system is loading 1%... 20%... 45%... 60%... 85%... 99%... 100%]
[Fantasy System is online]
[Fantasy System started scanning host... ]
[Scan complete]
[Host would you like to see your status?]
Upon hearing this voice, a trace of surprise flickered in Eishi's lifeless face.
"Here it is!"
This is the cheat that the transmigrator must have. Otherwise... Hehe.
But before he could be happy, a sweet voice came from the entrance of the kitchen.
"Tsu-kun! Bucchi is hungry!"
Well who else could it be other than chibi Momo.
"Momo-chan, give me ten minutes. You can wait at the table with Bucchi, also call others."
Well sometimes Momo's antics feel irritating but... Whatever.
Before he could concentrate on system, Rindo came out of bathroom.
"Oh hey, Eishi what's for the breakfast this morning?"
"Egg bacon sandwich and banana milk smoothie."
As Rindo emerged, Eishi suppressed his irritation as he was again interrupted to check his system. But still, he responded to her inquiry about today's breakfast.
"Okay. Hurry up!" She said and left the kitchen.
"Let's finish the breakfast before anything else." Eishi sighed and started cooking.
He quickly finished eight sets of breakfast: Egg and beacon sandwich paired with Banana milk smoothie. A simple morning meal.
Eishi is currently living in Elite ten's dorm where the elite ten's usually reside. Other than Momo-chan everyone has to cook breakfast and dinner rotationally. Momo-chan is in-charhe of deserts.
And today was Eishi's turn, to make breakfast for everyone.
[Ding! Host have made eight sets of Egg bacon sandwiches]
[32exp acquired]
[Host have made 8 banana milk smoothies]
[24exp acquired]
[Egg beacon sandwich: Rating 76/100]
[Banana smoothie: Rating 70/100]
Eishi smiled hearing the system prompt. He called out "Rindo! Momo! Come and take the servings to the table. I'm going to wash up."
After calling for the girls Eishi entered the bathroom. With the appreance of his system, he needed to study it carefully.
In the bathroom, Eishi started washing up and also tried to communicate with his system.
"System?"
[Yes host?]
"What are the System functions?"
[System have six functions]
[Ststus: It shows Hosts personal skills and it's progress]

[P.S- Stats for a normal human limit is 10]
[Cooking: Advanced(9,664/10,000)]
[Knife handling: Advanced(5,420/10,000)]
System only indicates 2 skills cooking and knife handling. Well these are the original body's best skills. So it's no wonder that they are at advanced level.
Feeling a bit sad that he only have two skills, Eishi finished washing up and left the bathroom.
"Eishi, come and eat quickly." Rindo saw him coming out of the bathroom, so she called him from the table.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! Didn't I tell you guys to eat first! You guys don't need to wait for me." Eishi sat down and couldn't help but said.
At the table, Taki-senpai, Sonoka-senpai, Rindo-chan, Momo-chan, Megisima-kun, Saito-kun and others are waiting for him.
"We are family~ of course we have to wait for Ei-chan to have breakfast together." Sonoka- senpai said with cheerful smile.
Eishi didn't say anything, but he felt touched. Having lived alone in his previous life he haven't felt this kind of warm atmosphere.
From now on, he fully embraced his identity as Eishi Tsukasa. He will be winner of life this time.
[Ding!]
[System Sub quest generated]
[Free yourself from Azami Nakiri's clutches: In your darkest time Azami Nakiri have bound you to himself very badly. If you want to be winner of life, free yourself from Azami Nakiri's hand and any kind of his influence so he can't use yourself against your school.]
[Reward: 500FP, Three Types of Haki]
[Failure: Become Azami Nakiri's loyal slave just like a puppet]
[P.S: This is AU, and in this timeline, anything could happen, so choose wisely]
Before Eishi could fully embrace the joy, System poured a bucket of cold water in his head.
