Disciplinary Inspection Month

The voice came from the right side of the comedy duo.

To be precise, it was from the second seat from the window in the last row of the classroom, which was Bai Lan's next seat to the right.

The tall, aloof, beautiful girl with long black hair, who had been quietly reading a book, shot them a cold glance and continued, "As the saying goes: 'This is a humble abode, but virtue makes it shine.' Only the incompetent blame their mediocrity on their environment. Capable people, wherever they are, can make even a dilapidated house radiant. Furthermore, many great figures hid away in remote mountains to train before becoming famous, only to astound the world when they emerged."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan immediately took offense. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "You want to overturn my argument? Are you looking for a fight? Yowza~ State your name! This Emperor doesn't waste his breath on nobodies!"

Tsk~ Such a beautiful girl, she must be the class beauty, right?

If I make the class beauty cry on the first day of school, I'll definitely draw the ire of a bunch of simps. This counts as a proper show of dominance.

Bai Lan was just about to engage in a battle of wits with her.

At that moment, the school bell rang.

Immediately after, a woman wearing a skirt suit walked into the classroom.

The woman looked under thirty, appearing very serious and diligent. Her long hair, which reached her waist, was tied back in a high ponytail, giving her a formidable aura.

The woman walked to the podium and began to speak:

"Welcome, new students. I am Class D's homeroom teacher, Chazhu Sae, and I will be teaching Japanese History."

"Unlike other schools, this school does not change classes every academic year. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be studying with you as your homeroom teacher for these three years."

"The entrance ceremony will be held in the gymnasium in one hour."

"I will now distribute materials regarding this school's special rules. You were also given these during the entrance briefing. I believe you are already aware of this school's peculiarities?"

The students in attendance nodded. This school was indeed special in many ways.

Next, Teacher Chazhu explained some basic school matters, such as "tuition and fees are completely free" and "except under special circumstances, all external contact is prohibited for three years." These were all things that were already mentioned in the promotional booklet distributed after passing the entrance exam.

Bai Lan had flipped through it several times when he was researching withdrawal options, to the point where he could almost recite it.

However, even so, sounds of "surprise" could still be heard from within the classroom.

"Can't go out for three years?"

Seriously! Can't you pay a little more attention to information about your own future school?

Bai Lan shook his head, then leaned on his desk and casually flipped through the newly distributed materials. He found that they were much more detailed than the one he had seen before.

Worth studying!

Next, a card and a smartphone were passed down.

"What was just handed out are your student IDs and school-exclusive smartphones."

"The phones have all the functions of a smartphone, but their communication capabilities are limited to within the school. You can access external networks for browsing, but you cannot transmit information externally."

"Your student ID can be used as a credit card and allows you to use all school facilities. The usage is simple: just present it to the sensor on the machine..."

"It's important to note that money from the outside world cannot be used for purchases here. You can only rely on points issued by the school. Without points, you cannot buy anything or receive any services. Conversely, within this school, there is nothing that cannot be bought with points."

"Points will be automatically deposited on the first of every month. Each of you should have been fairly distributed one hundred thousand points. Each point is worth one yen. With that, there should be nothing else to explain, right?"

The students below erupted in chatter.

"One hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand?"

"One hundred thousand!"

"Are you surprised? This school measures students based on their abilities. The fact that you could enter this school proves you possess the necessary qualities. These one hundred thousand points are a reward given by the school based on their evaluation of you. Don't be shy, use them as you please. These points will be reclaimed upon graduation, so there's no point in saving them. Spend them according to your preferences. You can also transfer them to others if you don't wish to spend them, but please do not threaten others for points. The school takes bullying very seriously."

"Are there any other questions? Then I wish you all..."

"Teacher! I have a question!"

Bai Lan suddenly raised his hand.

Chazhu looked at Bai Lan's location and then glanced at the seating chart.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka...

Changed?

Soon, she noticed the person sitting in front of Bai Lan and breathed a sigh of relief.

He's still here...

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is my hope for getting into Class A!

In reality, the gap between the four classes, A, B, C, and D, had already been established the moment the classes were formed.

Class A comprises talented individuals who are excellent in academics, physical abilities, and behavior.

Class B is slightly inferior, a somewhat degraded version of Class A.

Class C and Class D are essentially rejects, designed to enrich "social diversity." The people in them either have some significant deficiency in a certain area or are simply useless, trash, or scum. The difference is that Class D is generally more trashy overall.

Chazhu Sae was once a student at this school and knows its true nature very well.

Only Class A can truly enjoy the 99% college entrance/employment rate and choose the schools and jobs they want.

For three years of high school, the four classes must constantly compete in various aspects, including academics, and then be re-ranked into Classes A, B, C, and D based on their performance.

In the end, if Class A graduates as students of Advanced Nurturing High School, the other three classes will be expelled and assigned to other high schools to graduate as students from those institutions.

Chazhu Sae was also originally in Class D.

But the Class D of her year was quite formidable, nearing graduation, they almost surged into Class A and graduated as Class A.

It was just a sliver of a difference...

And that "sliver" was significantly related to her "choice" at the time.

This left Chazhu Sae with her greatest regret.

5. How could I possibly maintain class discipline with these insects?

To make up for her regret, after graduating from university, Chazhu Sae resolutely returned to this school. She repeatedly became the homeroom teacher for Class D, attempting to successfully guide a class from Class D to reach Class A.

However, after all these years, she had never succeeded. Let alone reaching Class A, they hadn't even managed to reach Class B.

Just as Chazhu Sae was about to despair, she inadvertently learned something. She knew that a super genius would be assigned to Class D this year. Although reportedly having some personality flaws, it wasn't a major issue...

With him, there was hope for Class A!

And that super genius is none other than Ayanokoji Kiyotaka!

However, this super genius didn't seem inclined to reveal himself, not even saying anything when his seat was taken.

This won't do...

In a flash of thought, Chazhu Sae considered many things.

Returning to her senses, she replied to Bai Lan, who had raised his hand, "Go ahead."

Then, Bai Lan stood up, looking obedient, and said, "Based on what you just said, I'll summarize: This '100,000 points per month' reward is given based on the school's 'evaluation' of 'us'."

Chazhu Sae: "That's correct."

Bai Lan: "Then here's the problem..."

"First, regarding the 'evaluation,' if the school's evaluation of us rises or falls, will the monthly money we receive also change?"

"..." Chazhu Sae didn't immediately speak, seemingly choosing her words carefully.

But sometimes, silence is the best answer.

Bai Lan nodded: "I understand. Second question, does 'us' mean we're evaluated individually, with better performers getting more points, or is the entire class's evaluation calculated together?"

Chazhu Sae: "..."

"Hmm, I'll assume it's a combination of both. That means..." Bai Lan nodded again and then summarized: "Our performance, both individually and as a group, this month will determine the final distribution of our living expenses for the next month."

Hearing this, the crowd below erupted in an uproar once more.

"Are you kidding me! This money will decrease in the future?"

"We're doomed! I can't buy a game console anymore, I'll have to save up."

Seeing this, Ayanokoji was carefully choosing his words, preparing to join his classmates in "wailing" with his "dangerously borderline passing grades."

At this moment, Bai Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes and retort, "Good grief, so many people have already resigned themselves to having their money deducted, and not a single one of you has considered trying to improve your evaluation."

"Honestly, isn't studying hard and following school rules the basic duty of a student? You get rewarded just for doing your duty, and you can't even manage that?" the tall, dark-haired beautiful girl couldn't help but add.

Hearing this, Ayanokoji stopped formulating his response and began to ponder: which side was the "normal" one?

After some thought, he decided to follow the "normal teacher" who was said to be "good at being normal." However, considering his entrance exam scores, he didn't seem to have fulfilled his student duties, nor did he have the right to criticize others.

Seeing this chaotic situation, Chazhu Sae maintained a serious expression, but inwardly, she was cheering...

You see, according to the old rules, on the first day after the new students enroll, the first secret exam, which is not announced in advance, will be conducted. It's called "Disciplinary Inspection Month."

Initially, each class starts with 1000 points, with each point corresponding to 100 yen in living expenses per month.

Within a month, as long as students don't go too far and severely disrupt the school's operations, the school and teachers will not intervene in their rule-breaking behavior.

Simultaneously, the school will deduct points from a class based on the disciplinary violations discovered by cameras throughout the campus.

With almost no external constraints.

After one month, the class with the strongest self-control and the most adherence to student duties will have the highest score, and vice versa.

The gap between the four classes will widen dramatically within this short month!
