“Is this… the results of each class?”
Horikita tried to explain the paper even though she was only half sure . Perhaps it’s true .
Classes A to D were listed on the paper, with numbers right next to them .
Our class D with 0 . Class C with 490 . Class B with 650 . And class A had the highest number with 940 . I guess 1000 points would mean 100,000 yen? All the classes lost points in some way .
“Hey, don’t you think this is strange?”
“Yea… the numbers are too clean . ”
Horikita and I noticed that there was something strange about the points .
“For the first month, all of you have been doing as you please . Now, the school’s not saying that this is prohibited . Your actions, such as talking during class and being late to class, just affects the number of points you get . It’s the same with how you use points . You have the freedom to use points how you want . We haven’t restricted how you use your points . ”
“This isn’t fair! We can’t lead a normal school life like that!”
Ike, who had stayed quiet until now, shouted out .
Yamauchi was also crying out in agony . That guy already used up all his points…
“Look carefully, you stupid kids . Every other class except class D got some points . The amount of points you guys have should still be plenty enough to last for a month . ”
“H-how do the other classes have any points left? That’s strange…”
“I’ll tell you, but it’s not like this is some kind of fraud . For this past month, all the classes were judged by the same rules . Nevertheless, they didn’t lose as many points as you guys did . That’s a fact . ”
“How… how is there so much difference in points between the classes?”
Hirata also noticed something odd about the numbers . The differences in points were too clean .
“Did you guys finally understand? Why you were put in class D . ”
“The reason we were put in class D? Isn’t that because we were appropriate for this school?”
“Eh? That’s how ordinary classes work, you know?”
Everyone exchanged glances .
“In this school, all the students are divided into classes by merit . The best students are put in class A . The worst in class D . Well, it’s a system that’s found in major cram schools . In other words, class D is the collection of leftovers . That also means that you are the worst students, the defective products of this school . This is really an outcome worthy of defective students . ”
Horikita’s face stiffened . Looks like the reason behind the class division really shocked her .
Certainly, it’s better to put smart people with other smart people, and incapable people with other incapable people . If you put rotten mandarins with good mandarins, the good mandarins will rot faster . It’s inevitable that the superior Horikita is in shock at this sort of division .
However, it’s probably good that I was put here . There’s only one way to go and that’s up .
However, this class D is the first one to lose all their points in the first month . On the contrary, I applaud you for living so lavishly until now . How praiseworthy . ”
Chiyabashira-sensei’s unnatural applause reverberated in the classroom .
“After hitting zero points, does that mean we will always stay at zero points forever?”
“Yea . Your points will stay at 0 until graduation . However, be at ease, since you can still use your dorms, and there are free meals in the cafeteria . You won’t die . ”
Although a student life with only the bare minimum is possible, a lot of the students probably won’t like it . After all, the students lived their lives this month while indulging in every single possible luxury . Suddenly, having to live a life a self-control looks really hard for a lot of the students .
“… Will we be made fun of by the other classes now?”
Sudou kicked his desk with a bang . After having learned that the classes are divided by merit, everyone will probably make fun of class D as the group of idiots . It’s not unreasonable to be despairing .
“What, you’re still holding onto your pride, Sudou? Then do your best and try to make the worst class the best class . ”
“Huh?”
“These class points aren’t just linked to the amount of money you get each month . It’s also indicative of the class rank . ”
So, in other words… if, for example, class D had held onto 500 points, they would be promoted to being class C . This is really like a company assessment .
“All right, I have one more piece of bad news I have to tell you guys . ”
She put one more piece of paper onto the blackboard . The names of all the classmates were listed . Next to everyone’s name was a number .
“From looking at these numbers, I came to understand that there are a lot of idiots in this class . ”
She glanced at the students as her heels clacked against the floor
“These are the scores from the test a few days back . Sensei was glad after seeing your wonderful performance . Seriously, what the hell did you guys study in middle school?”
Except for the top students in the class, almost everyone got below a 60 . Ignoring Sudou’s wonderful score of 14 points, the next lowest was Ike’s score of 24 . The average score was about 65 .
“If this test was actually recorded, seven of you would already have to drop out of school . Good thing it wasn’t, right?”
“D-drop out? What do you mean?”
“Why, did I not explain? If you get a failing mark on either a midterm or a final exam in any subject, you have to drop out of school . On this test, that would be everyone who got below a 32 . Man, you guys are really foolish and stupid . ”
“W-whaaaaat!?”
The seven people who failed, or in other words, Ike and his group, let out a surprised voice .
On the paper, there was a red line separating the rest of the class and the seven people, the highest of which was Kikuchi with a score of 31 points . In other words, everyone after Kikuchi failed .
“Don’t **** with me Sae-chan-sensei! Don’t joke about dropping out of school!”
“I’m also at a loss for words . It’s the school’s rules, so prepare for the worst . ”
“As the teacher said, there seem to be a lot of fools here . ”
While polishing his nails with his feet on the desk, Koenji had a smug smirk on his face .
“What’s that, Koenji!? Your marks are in the red too!”
“Fu . Where are your eyes looking at, boy? Look carefully . ”
“H-huh? Hey, Koenji’s name is… huh?”
Scanning from the bottom, his eyes gradually reached the top . And then—he finally saw the name Koenji Rokusuke .
To his disbelief, Koenji had tied for the top score in the class . 90 points . That means that he was able to solve one of the super hard problems .
“I never thought that Sudou would be a stupid character like me…!”
Ike said out loud with a sarcasm in his tone .
“Oh, and one more thing . This school, which is under the control of the country, boasts a high percentage of alumni going to higher education and a high employment rate . That’s a well-known fact . Most likely, many people in this class will go on to college or find work at a company . ”
That’s obvious . As she said, this school has the highest employment and college acceptance rate . There are rumors that if you successfully graduate from this school, a usually difficult college or company will become a lot easier to join . Other rumors say that graduating from this school is like getting a recommendation to be admitted to Tokyo University .
“But… things aren’t that easy in the world . People like you guys, who are of a really low level, will probably have trouble getting into college or getting a job . ”
Chiyabashira-sensei’s words echoed in the classroom .
“In other words, in order to make our dreams of getting a job or getting into college a reality, surpassing class C is probably a minimum . ”
“That’s also slightly incorrect, Hirata . There’s no way to achieve your dreams except for surpassing class A . The school doesn’t guarantee anything for all the other students . ”
“T-that’s… that’s something I never heard about! This is absurd!”
Yukimura, who wore glasses, stood up . She was the person who tied Koenji’s score .
“How shameful . There’s nothing as pitiful as boys making a commotion and panicking . ”
As if he felt something from Yukimura’s words, Koenji let out a sigh .
“… Koenji, do you not feel any resentment from being in class D?”
“Resentment? Why would I feel any resentment? I don’t understand . ”
“Because we’ve been told that our class is the collection of leftovers, and that our chances of getting into higher education or getting a job are slim!”
“Fu . That’s nonsense . I can’t even respond to that sheer stupidity . ”
Koenji didn’t stop polishing his nails . He didn’t even face Yukimura as he talked .
“This school just hasn’t seen my full potential yet . I value, respect, and regard myself greatly, more than any other person . Even if the school puts me in class D, it means nothing to me . If, for example, I have to drop out of school, it’s completely fine . After all, it’s the school that will come crawling back for me . ”
Sounds like something Koenji would say . Is it masculinity, or is it self-conceit? Certainly, if you don’t care about the school’s class rankings, it doesn’t matter at all . Considering his high intellect and physical ability, it is difficult to think that the students of class A are all better than Koenji . Or perhaps he was assigned to class D because of his personality .
“However, I’m not looking to go to college or find a job somewhere after I graduate . It’s been decided that I will lead the Koenji Conglomerate in the future . It doesn’t matter whether I’m in class A or class D . ”
For someone whose future has been guaranteed, there certainly is no need to be concerned about the class .
Without any words to retort, Yukimura sat back down .
