Class F

Biodata

Organization

Class F is the lowest of the academy’s seven class ranks: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Transfer students choose a class according to their capabilities; advancement depends on assessment results and personal wishes. The Seventh Hunter Academy had no S-rank students, leaving six classes in operation 1 7.

• Classroom: A large, dedicated room with desks arranged in an arc. Seats around Beixing’s back-corner position were normally empty 3.
• Cafeteria: A separate Class F cafeteria furnished with inexpensive tables and chairs 17.
• Reputation: Students in higher classes regarded Class F as inferior. Atas initially refused to believe its students had witnessed the destruction of an Esper Detection Crystal Ball 16 17.

History

Qi Yue’s arrival and Beixing

Qi Yue chose Class F to avoid the dangers of a higher-ranked class and keep away from the protagonist group. His guarded introduction and decision to sit near Beixing unsettled his classmates, who mistook his caution for confidence 1 3.

Beixing’s ability could cause an ability user within one meter to suffer a mental breakdown or melt. Qi Yue approached him safely, offered to train with him, and sparred with him in front of the class. Watching the match prompted some students to reconsider their hostility toward Beixing 3 4 6 9 10.

Despite Beixing’s dangerous ability, the academy consistently recorded him as rank F to protect higher-ranked students. Dean Li later told Qi Yue that Beixing could never leave Class F 12 24.

Crystal ball and cafeteria incidents

During Esper Ability testing, Beixing received his usual F result. The detection crystal ball exploded when Qi Yue touched it; he blamed its poor quality, while the class suspected he had destroyed it deliberately 12.

Atas, an investigator posing as an exchange student, initially dismissed Qi Yue because he was in Class F. After learning where the crystal ball had shattered, he sought Qi Yue out in the class cafeteria. Atas lost consciousness during the confrontation, and the watching students believed Qi Yue possessed a controllable ability similar to Beixing’s 16 17 18.

Weekly Assessment on Katebis Island

Before the assessment, Qi Yue briefed the class on Area F and gave individual survival advice. He also recommended equipment made by Class F teachers and pooled his points with Beixing’s to obtain supplies for him 30 31 33.

The class was assigned Area F on Katebis Island for a five-day assessment. Students followed Qi Yue’s advice and dispersed to locations suited to their abilities. Nearly all wore cloaks, making it difficult for two assassins sent by Ron to identify Beixing 36 37 38 39.

During an Aberrant attack, Class F students credited Beixing with saving them. Zhou Wei also suggested that Qi Yue had foreseen the danger 50.
