Metori Saiko, a male student steeped in narcissism and arrogance, inherits his entitled demeanor as the sole heir to the Saiko Conglomerate, a corporate titan. He weaponizes his wealth to manipulate peers, offering bribes for loyalty or menacingly threatening to relocate classmates’ parents to Siberia—schemes routinely dismantled by Saiki Kusuo’s interference. With silver hair, piercing green eyes, and a flair for gold adornments, he enrolls at PK Academy to court Teruhashi Kokomi, only to face rejection as she favors Saiki. Undeterred, Metori pivots to flaunting his riches and antagonizing rivals. Born September 8, his sheltered upbringing manifests in absurd indulgences: personal chefs preparing meals at school, bodyguards shadowing his steps, and outright refusal to partake in “common” activities. A shipwreck crisis becomes a turning point; though initially deflecting blame for the accident caused by rushed ship maintenance, he begrudgingly admits shared fault with classmates. This humility is tested further during a family-imposed challenge: surviving 24 hours without his fortune. Forced to queue with crowds and savor budget ramen, he unexpectedly finds charm in simplicity. While traces of self-absorption linger, Metori begins aiding peers—bankrolling a class play’s costumes in exchange for a starring role—and hones skills like basketball through secret practice. When a meteor looms, he refuses evacuation unless friends are secured. Familial traditions, such as walking home instead of using vehicles, clash with his evolving identity, highlighting tensions between legacy and autonomy. His power lies in limitless capital, funding opulent whims, swaying economic tides, and bending others via financial incentives. Thematically tied to perception, his name echoes “psychometry” (サイコメトリー). He owns a private island and enters PK Academy as Class 3’s second transfer student after Kuboyasu Aren. Metori’s journey traces a jagged path from solitary elitism to uneasy camaraderie, his once-impervious pride chipped by shared struggles and incremental empathy. Though still tethered to corporate destiny, flickers of genuine growth emerge as he navigates the push-pull of expectation and self-discovery.
