Chapter 005: Disappointing Class D

(P.S: The image is of Sae Chabashira.)

Sae Chabashira.

She appeared to be less than thirty years old, in a somewhat delicate age. She possessed the beauty of a young woman and the sophistication of a mature woman. Like the students, she wore a white blouse as an undershirt, with a black professional suit on top.

The tight-fitting suit emphasized her alluring curves, coupled with black stockings and pointed high heels. Compared to the surrounding inexperienced students, she exuded a more captivating aura, a charm unique to mature women.

Having read the original work, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji naturally knew about this teacher, Sae Chabashira. She used to be a student in Class D at Advanced Nurturing High School. However, in that year, the gap between the classes was not significant, with Class D only being less than 100 class points away from Class A.

Simply put, if Class D could succeed, it was entirely possible to surpass other classes and graduate as Class A. However, due to Sae Chabashira's naivety and a mistake she made, the entire plan for Class D failed, and they ultimately missed the opportunity to claim the throne of Class A.

Sae Chabashira blamed herself for that and developed an obsession with elevating Class D to Class A, even if it meant going against her role as a homeroom teacher. However, in this school, not only the students but also the teachers had to compete with each other. The homeroom teacher for Class B happened to be Chie Hoshinomiya, who was in the same year as Sae Chabashira.

Therefore, if there was no hope of promotion, Sae Chabashira would not expose her ambition. Otherwise, she would likely face Chie Hoshinomiya's relentless hostility.

For Sae Chabashira, the chance for promotion only came once!

Thus, if she couldn't see any hope of promotion, she would adopt a cold attitude and watch Class D perish on its own, maintaining her harmless image while waiting for the next opportunity.

However, every Class D in the past had been flawed, with no possibility of advancing to Class A.

Sae Chabashira had been waiting for many years.

And this year, she welcomed new hope!

Sae Chabashira secretly glanced at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji in the corner. As the chairman of the Board of Directors, he personally recommended this student to her care, indicating that he must have something special.

However, there was nothing remarkable about his seemingly ordinary and lifeless appearance.

Retracting her gaze, Sae Chabashira tapped the stack of papers she had already prepared and spoke in a cold tone:

"This school does not separate classes, so for the next three years, I will study together with all of you as your homeroom teacher. Please take care of me."

"In addition, the entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in one hour. Before that, please read the materials about the special rules of this school."

He received two familiar-looking books from Chiaki Matsushita, which all the students had received before entering the school.

Unlike other high schools, this school was very different.

Choosing to enroll meant being obligated to live on campus, with all external contact, including with family, prohibited without the school's permission.

In contrast, the school established various facilities, such as karaoke rooms, movie theaters, cafes, clothing stores, and more. It could be said to be a small commercial district.

Unlike the previous booklet they had seen, the one in their hands was thicker. Opening it revealed a device similar to a mobile phone lying inside.

"This is your student ID, which allows you to use all the facilities on campus and purchase any goods. Think of it as a credit card," Sae Chabashira explained the rules while playing with her own student ID.

"However, since it consumes personal points, you need to be aware that there's nothing you can't buy with points. You can buy anything."

Suzune Horikita behind her was still a bit confused.

It was common knowledge for students to pass notes to each other in a row, but Tenmaya Yukari in front actually confiscated her student ID card! How can she quickly gather information now?

The classroom fell silent.

Suzune Horikita furrowed her brow and poked Tendo Amamiya in front of her with a pen. Soon, she saw a note being passed to her from under Tendo Amamiya's armpit, and Suzune instinctively took it without hesitation.

[Write your name and draw a cute design if you can.]

Click!

Suzune Horikita instantly pulled out a compass from her pencil case, feeling exasperated. Each person's nameplate was already placed on the table earlier, and she couldn't believe Suzune Horikita didn't know that!

This was clearly just teasing her!

Immature.

Suzune Horikita clenched the compass in her hand and inwardly cursed. She glanced at Sae Chabashira, who was on the podium, and finally slowly put down the compass.

She picked up the paper and wrote her own name.

As for reporting it to the teacher, it was not even within her consideration. There were too many ways to explain, and it didn't align with her character. She didn't think it was necessary to interact with these classmates either.

After drawing the design, Suzune Horikita poked the desk in front of her again.

Tendo Amamiya took the note and smiled with satisfaction.

[Suzune Horikita]

Tendo Amamiya slowly tore the paper into pieces, knowing that it was unlikely for Suzune to draw a cute expression, but he wouldn't do something meaningless and childish either.

To control Suzune, she had to leave a deep impression. Otherwise, with Suzune's character, she would just be a passing stranger.

Although the method was a bit childish, as long as it worked.

Looking at Suzune's indifferent gaze, Tendo Amamiya calmly handed her a booklet.

Coldly observing Tendo Amamiya in front of her, Suzune Horikita soon shifted her attention to her phone (student ID).

However...

If the teacher wasn't explaining the rules, Suzune Horikita would definitely stab her with the compass.

On the podium, Sae Chabashira witnessed everything without paying any attention, and continued in a calm tone:

"Personal points will be automatically allocated on the first of each month. Each of you has been given a fair allocation of 100,000 points, with one point equivalent to one yen."

The classroom instantly became noisy, and Suzune was also surprised.

Ordinary high school students on Sakurajima usually had a monthly allowance of around 5,000 Yen, including part-time jobs. It would be considered good if they had around 30,000 in a month.

Yet, the school was directly giving students a monthly allowance of 100,000 points!

"Are you surprised by so much money?" Sae Chabashira's tone carried a playful tone. "This school measures the value of students based on their abilities. Being admitted means you all have this value. Don't hesitate to use it."

After waiting for a while and seeing that the students had no questions, Sae Chabashira glanced at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji with a slightly disappointed look and left the classroom.

Tendo Amamiya touched his chin, somewhat surprised. Although the teacher didn't provide detailed information about the rules, she could still infer some issues from the words spoken.

For example, although it was mentioned that points would be allocated on the first of each month, there was no guarantee of receiving 100,000 points every month. It wasn't difficult to spot the problem!

However, none of the students in Class D raised any questions.

"It seems there is a reason for being assigned to Class D," Tendo Amamiya thought to herself.

In each class, the students in Class D indeed had significantly lower basic abilities. Sae Chabashira clearly intended to use this method of communication as a test.

"This school is amazing! Let's go there after school."

"With all these points, we can buy anything we want!"

Once Sae Chabashira left, all the students became excited. It was their first time having such a large sum of money.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

A blond boy stood up from his seat, wearing a bright smile on his face as he addressed the others.

"Starting today, we are going to live together as a class. How about we do a spontaneous self-introduction now? It would be great if we can become friends, right?"

"And since the entrance ceremony is still some time away, what do you all think?"

Perhaps taking the lead, his suggestion received everyone's approval.

The blond boy spoke confidently, "Since everyone agrees, let's start with me then. My name is Hirata Yosuke, but you can call me Yosuke. I love all sports, especially football. I'm planning to join the school's football club. Please take care of me, everyone."

After Hirata, most of the students started introducing themselves.

Tendo Amamiya carefully digested every word spoken by Hirata.

Hirata Yosuke.

During junior high, Hirata's childhood friend was bullied, but Hirata, as a friend, didn't take it seriously and chose to turn a blind eye, which eventually led to his friend's suicide.

However.

Bullying in the school didn't disappear because of that. On the contrary, it became more rampant and affected Hirata's classmates.

In the end.

Under the relentless bullying with no end in sight, Hirata chose to quell the entire school's bullying with violence. As long as he gave both sides equal pain, the bullying would disappear by becoming the top of the school's hierarchy.

Unfortunately.

What disappeared was not just the bullying, but also the smiles of the entire school.

Only Hirata stood at the top of the school.

Everyone else was equal, and every time an incident occurred, Hirata would give both sides equal pain.

The cheerful classmates of the past seemed like lifeless zombies, living under Hirata's terrifying domination every day.

Tendo Amamiya quickly realized that all the questions Hirata asked earlier were seeking everyone's opinions.

This seemingly confident and sunny-looking person couldn't make decisions on his own.

The student named Hirata Yosuke was not a good person to the extent that he cared more about the concept of "class" than his classmates.

Tendo Amamiya smiled. Hirata could be called the perfect tool.
