Kyoshin, like our world, has three levels of education, if not counting preschool: Elementary, Middle School, and High School.

The classes are split up a bit differently. Elementary is from Grade One to Grade Six, Secondary from Grades Seven to Grade Nine, and Junior from Grades Ten to Grade Twelve.

ES has the following subjects: Math, Reading - Writing, Science, Art, Music, especially in Grade 4, History and Geography are added.

SS has Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, History, Geography, Fine Arts, Music, and IT (for those pursuing computer science)

HS as above.

Each month in middle school and high school, there will be an ability exam, the higher the score, the higher the total score of all subjects and vice versa. But some top schools don't apply this.

The final year of secondary school and high school will be used as deciding who stays or who will graduate. They're challenging and tough competitions.

Kiyo was only in seventh grade, but thinking about that made him tired. You know, he had to struggle financially and go hired killing, even if his target is a good guy, as long they are on the blacklist.

A disgusting job that sometimes no one dares to approach him, because what if they found themselves on the list? And they could be killed at any moment.

Going back to today, it's been four days since Kiyo got here, and nothing remarkable has happened.

He looked at his schedule, let's see, is this class going to be IT? This subject is an elective subject, students don't have to come. But boredom has been clinging to him for days now, he also has nothing good to do, to play, so he decides to go up to the IT room.

Kiyo had also studied before the program, but with this subject, he only learned half of it. And he doesn't plan to pursue this career as a programmer, it's just that he has nothing to do right now.

On the computer, there are only four software: Browser Syndrome, Programmer_Pascal, The PC, and Farbe.

Let's see, Syndrome, needless to say, it was originally meant for search purposes only. Farbe is for drawing, The PC stores files and other stuff, and Programmer_Pascal... Looks like this is for practicing creating programs.

He opened it, and it was exactly like the illustration in the book. It's like our world's FreePascal, but instead of it being blue, here it's black.

Kiyo tried to write a program he knew, and it was quite long. When he was about to type "End." then all of a sudden, his computer shut down, then restarted, and now the main screen shows a bunch of strange files, and it says "MK.chr".

"What is this.." - Kiyo wondered, not understanding what had happened.

The whole class is now starting to panic because their computer is also suffering.

But among the students who were bustling about, there was a boy who seemed very calm, each of his computers did not corrupt like the others, as if nothing strange had happened.

After a while, the boy looked around, and now that he was starting to panic more than anyone else, it looked like he was about to cry.

Fortunately, a student informed the teacher. He looked around, only to see that his computer was normal.

"Why there isn't anything wrong with this computer..."

That boy was silent.

"I haven't decided yet, but did you do this? Because if the PCs are hacked, the only one that's not affected is the culprit."

Now he's starting to panic, hesitating on something in his throat, his face turning pale.

"Yes..." - He just said he would. Then he lowered his head, looking like he was embarrassed by his behavior.

"Follow me to meet the Board of Directors."

The boy stood up and followed the teacher quietly. At this time, the class began to whisper:

"So it was him, no wonder his computer was normal." - A girl sighed.

"Corrupted everyone's computers, I don't even want to look at him." - Another person frowned and growled.

"Yeah, he often rambles some shits, sometimes I want to punch him."

"Ignore him, he is worth being suspended. Come on, let's go home." - With that, both of them left the classroom. And then everyone walked out of the room one by one.

Kiyo is annoyed with those girls kind of judgement, because it's so hard of hearing and ungainly, did he not do it on purpose? What's the point of those mindless words and one-sided views?

Taking the bag out of the class, Kiyo didn't know if the person who hacked the whole computer system would be suspended, or even expelled from the school. His curiosity was aroused again, and he approached the administration's room, to hear what was going on.

"So you didn't do it on purpose?"

"Yes, I just typed something on Programmer_Pascal... I didn't mean to mess up the whole system.."

"But they told you did hack."

"They don't understand what really happened to me. Obviously, my program is in the book, and if it were on a normal computer it would be impossible to crash the whole system at once. If you want, I can check. There's definitely something wrong with the computer!"

The principal paused for a moment. Then again said:

"It can happen too. But even if you don't mean it, you're still responsible for the damage you've caused."

"I promise I'll take responsibility. I hope I can fix it..."

He greeted the teacher and quickly went to the IT room, running past Kiyo who was standing behind the door without noticing. Looking closely at his face, he looked like he was crying.

Kiyo wondered, why would he shed tears over that one mistake? Wouldn't that be a bit too cynical?

He doesn't care about that anymore, at least the boy wasn't suspended. Now he had to get out of there quickly, otherwise, he would be late for the bus.

***

The next day there was another IT class, and that day the previous boy go to school.

The computer screen now only has the Syndrome browser and the Programmer_Pascal software. Looks like he fixed it.

However, no one talked about the possibility of him fixing computers for everyone, just constantly gossiped about him until they got bored. Except for Kiyo, of course.

But thanks to the last meeting that made him interested in this subject, at least there is something he feels delectable, right?
