Soon a month had passed.

It was May 1, and most of the students had arrived in the classroom, but the atmosphere seemed wrong.

The weather was rainy, and dark clouds covered the sky.

"Hey, did you get your monthly points yet?"

"No, I don't seem to have. What about you, Hasabe?"

"No... I haven't either." She looked worried and turned towards Tatsuya, but he was calmly looking out of the window without a hint of worry.

She hurriedly sent him a message, and Tatsuya, who was originally gazing towards the cloudy sky, took out his phone that had just vibrated.

Looking at the message, he smiled, which made Hasabe feel butterflies in her stomach. She looked down at her phone and anticipated his message.

But when the message arrived, she was shocked and looked towards him in confusion, but just then another message arrived.

[Wait for the teacher to come; everything will be explained soon.]

Hasabe bit her lower lip and started talking to her friends.

Tatsuya also leaned back into his chair before muttering to himself, "It's going to be a rough day for many, huh..."

"What do you mean by that, Tatsuya-kun?" Ayanokouji had one hand on his chin and looked towards the back of Tatsuya.

He couldn't see his face, but the amusement in his voice not only shocked him but also made Horikita alert.

Tatsuya didn't turn back but continued to whisper to himself as if he hadn't heard him, "100,000 yen. A vast amount for students, of course, you would become happy. As expected of the best school in Japan funded by the government... But-"

All of a sudden, his voice turned a notch lower. Don't get mistaken, the volume of his voice was the same, but there was more of an eerie undertone to it.

"Who could've thought that the beginning of the first-month tragedy would strike and realization would travel from one mind to another."

He turned his head back and glanced slightly at Ayanokouji and Horikita. His lips parted just as Sensei came in with a large roll of sheets in her hand.

"We are Class D."

"Good Morning, everyone."

"We are defects."

"I hope everyone is doing well." Just as Sensei said this, a hand rose, "Sensei, we still haven't gotten our monthly points."

"Wrong, you've definitely gotten your points. It has been confirmed before I arrived here. There is nothing wrong with the system."

Murmurs occurred in the class as hushed whispers traveled across the class.

Koenji just smiled with his eyes closed.

Horikita had a calm expression.

Kushida had a worried look, similar to Hirata.

Ayanokouji had the same dull look as he usually had.

Tatsuya was looking at the class with amusement.

The ones with somewhat higher intelligence understood the meaning of her words, but the ignorant were everywhere.

"But Sensei..." Hondou, who wasn't convinced, wanted to ask again.

Sae Chabashira interrupted him and said coldly, "There is no mistake."

Silence permeated the classroom.

The rain seemed to grow heavier.

Sae Chabashira's lips curled up in a sneer, "Such fools..."

Surprised gasps echoed in the class as the silence grew heavy.

Suddenly someone laughed.

It was Koenji.

"Hahaha, I see, it was like that, teacher. I've understood the riddle now." He put his foot on the table and pointed towards Hondou with a self-important attitude.

"We didn't get any points because we're in class D."

"Huh? That doesn't make sense. We were told that we would get 100,000 points every month."

"I don't remember hearing that, right?" Koenji turned towards Chabashira-sensei, and she nodded.

"Your attitude has some problems, but what you're saying is correct. Not many people seemed to have noticed my hint... How sad."

Tatsuya tuned out the further conversation.

Hirata went on to ask why the points were cut, with her responding to the total amount of absentees and ill-conduct of the classes. Horikita noted the amount down while Ayanokouji silently listened.

Tatsuya looked out of the window again and was lost in thought. He could tell how the students around him seemed to be in trouble, but he couldn't share their pain.

In fact, he didn't even care about his school or the world, for that matter. He wasn't going to waste too much time here; his final goal was still Jade Beauties.

He looked towards his system and used the support function again. He hadn't touched the system for a month.

He just wanted to live a relaxing life without any worries, and so a month had passed with him having fun.

It was time to pick up the pace.

'How do I leave this world?'

[Have intimate relations with at least five characters from the main cast of Classroom of The Elite. To unlock the gacha spinning wheel, please have intimate relations with at least one main character.]

The first part was unfamiliar to him, but the latter was known to him from day one. That's why he wasn't hurrying with Hasabe.

She wasn't a part of the Main Cast.

If he were to count the Main Cast, then it would probably be Horikita, Kushida, Airi, Ichinose, and-

Tatsuya suddenly frowned, as if he was forgetting something.

'Oh yeah, that girl from Class A, the one with a broken leg and Kei Karuizawa.'

Suddenly he had a weird thought, how would it feel to f*ck a limp girl...?

Shaking his head, he removed the inappropriate image from his mind for now before looking towards the depressed class.

He looked to the front; the teacher had posted a big poster full of marks of various subjects of the students.

"Look at these marks, garbage! You're all garbage! If you children still don't seem to understand the consequences of entering this school, then listen carefully."

"If you fail in any one of the subjects... You'll be expelled."

The class was in an uproar, but she didn't care and mercilessly dropped the bomb of harsh reality on them.

...

Classes ended for the day with the students in pretty much a daze.

The gravity of the matter had yet to sink in.

"You don't seem to care much about the class for all the act you put up." A sneer reached his ears, and he turned back.

It was as if Ayanokouji, him, and Horikita had a personal space to themselves.

"Funny coming from you, Suzune~"

"I don't need to hear something like that from a girl that mistakes isolation as independence."

Horikita flinched, and under her desk, her fists were clenched tightly.

This wasn't missed by Ayanokouji, who was sitting beside her. He was also somewhat surprised by Tatsuya's behavior.

Why was the gentle and kind man always so harsh and mean to Horikita? Was there some history he didn't know?

Could it be they were ex-lovers!?

He joked to himself inside knowing that probably wasn't true.

He had tried to talk to Horikita about it, but her answer was always the same, "I don't know him."

At first, he thought it was true from reading her body language, but this conversation clearly wasn't from two people that didn't know each other; he had never seen them talk in class or anywhere else either.

Also, what did Horikita mean by the 'act you put up'? Was there something he was missing? Was his friend not what he seemed to be?

His gaze slowly alternated between the two before he let out a quiet sigh.

"Did you know this would happen, Tatsuya-kun?" He asked with a dull voice.
