Classroom of the Elite: Houtarou Oreki

After all, only the top three could earn Points, while everyone after that not only received none, but had to pay a one-Point registration fee.

That was the situation for Class D... no, Class C.

"Your class's students are in terrible physical shape," Oreki said.

There was nothing to argue about there.

During last year's Sports Festival, in order to avoid falling into the bottom ten and having their written exam scores deducted, they had directly handed over the Points earned from the VIP Exam.

However.

That did not necessarily mean Class D would lose.

Because their class did not have many standout athletes, they could instead try to preserve their base Points.

They would only arrange for a few standout athletes to compete, while everyone else would be finished after completing the five mandatory events.

That way, even weaker students could contribute ten Points each, which would add up to a respectable amount.

"It's more or less been arranged," Horikita said.

She was still the one arranging the roster this time.

Ninety-five percent of the students were only participating in the five basic individual events.

There was no helping it.

Last year, the class had Kōenji, that ridiculous cheat character, but he had transferred to Class A, leaving only Sudou as their naturally gifted athlete.

But there was only one first place.

So Sudou did not hold much hope of taking first. His current goal was to fight for third place.

Third place came with a reward of 500,000 Private Points, which was already a good result for him.

As for the girls.

Just as Oreki had previously suggested, Horikita herself and Kikyou Kushida would compete as standout athletes. At the same time, two other girls in their class also had fairly good physical ability.

One was Matsushita.
