I'm Not Ready for Three S-Class Beauties! - Chapter 1
My name is Ryota Izumiya, and I am most definitely at the bottom of the class hierarchy.
Despite managing to keep my grades near the top of my class, I’ve always been extremely introverted and hate standing out, resulting in some otaku tendencies. Because of this, my only friend is a fellow degenerate named Tanaka from the neighboring class.
I have no romantic experiences. My average looks and height make it difficult to approach girls, and as a typical introvert, no one asks me out either, so I’ve never had a girlfriend.
Because of this, since my first year of high school, I have strived to lead a peaceful, uneventful, and most importantly solitary school life. After all, if you don’t stand out, you can’t get knocked down.
With that being said, there are some people I avoid at all costs.
Mainly, they are the three S-tier beauties at the absolute top of the class hierarchy: Yuria Ichinose, Rui Kuroki, and Airi Miyama.
They are always together. Yuria Ichinose, with her gyaru look and dyed brown hair, Rui Kuroki, the black-haired and demure class president, and Airi Miyama, known for her sweet voice and sexy little sister persona. They are the most noticeable presence in the class and are universally acknowledged as beauties.
As someone at the bottom of the class, I am naturally uncomfortable around them and have never even engaged in small talk with them. Approaching popular people leads to nothing but trouble, so I keep my distance as much as humanly possible.
By staying away from them, I believed I could live a peaceful and wonderfully isolated life.
It wouldn’t be long until I realized how naive I truly was.

The day began like any other, except for the unsettling feeling that gnawed at my gut.
As I was eating a quick breakfast, the horoscope on TV ranked Sagittarius, my sign, dead last. What’s more, the lucky color ranked last for today happened to be rainbow of all things… As a proud introvert, there was no way I would go outside with something so flashy on.
Still, I changed into the rainbow-colored shorts that came in the lucky bag I had previously bought. Because of that, I was on the verge of being late, only able to curse at myself for going against my principles.
With the uncharacteristically bright and eye-catching rainbow shorts making me squirm with embarrassment, I sprinted to school. I’m already known as an introverted otaku in class, and being late would only worsen my standing.
Is homeroom already starting? If so, I’m in big trouble!
Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Yamada, is an old-fashioned, violent teacher who always carries a bamboo sword, and I shuddered at the thought of my future if I couldn’t make it in time. I had seen what he did to late students before, and I certainly didn’t want to find out what it felt like if I could help it.
In a panic, I burst into class 2-1, making it with seconds to spare.
After I caught my breath, I saw my classmates all out of their normal seats. Everyone was taking the materials out of their desks and moving around the classroom.
“This is the first time we’ve had a seat change this year, right?”
“Yeah, I didn’t think Mr. Yamada would allow it with how strict he is.”
“It’s all thanks to the class president for convincing him.”
Judging from the conversations of classmates shifting to their new assigned spots, it seemed that class president Kuroki had somehow persuaded Mr. Yamada to allow the seat change.
The seating lottery seemed to have already ended, and everyone was moving to the seats listed on the front blackboard. My name, Ryota Izumiya, was also clearly there in white chalk.
Seat changes are not something to be happy about for an introvert like me. Seeing as my only friend wasn’t even in my class, there was nobody to look forward to sitting with, only people I wanted to avoid.
As I dejectedly looked at the whiteboard in front of me, the reality hit me like a truck, and I slowly felt the blood drain from my face as I triple-checked, hoping I was somehow hallucinating.
To my left was Yuria Ichinose.
To my right was Rui Kuroki.
And in front of me was Airi Miyama…
“No… no way.”
Surrounding me, who was at the bottom of the class, were the three beauties whom I was most uncomfortable with.
