Class A	390	Over three years, the class rises from Class B to Class A through cohesion, Ichinose’s leadership, and Toudou’s guidance.

Background / History

Class B begins as a notably harmonious and balanced class. Its core structure centers on Ichinose Honami as its unifying leader, Kanzaki Ryuji as a rational planner, Shiranami Chihiro as an information-processing support, and Amakura Asako as technical support. Toudou identifies the class as a comparatively stable environment in which he can remain low-profile while building connections and gathering skills 7.

Ichinose is unanimously elected class leader, while Kanzaki becomes vice class leader and offers to manage financial affairs 8. The class receives 65,000 Basic Private Points per student in the first monthly distribution, below Class A’s 94,000, reflecting its evaluation rank 32.

Class B adopts centralized management of pooled Private Points under Ichinose’s leadership. Kanzaki and Shiranami help stabilize a resource-allocation plan, while Toudou advocates efficiency and restrained personal spending 34. The pooled funds later become a major concern during the Class Vote special exam, when 20 million Private Points could prevent an expulsion 382.

Class Characteristics

• Centralized class funds — Students voluntarily pool part of their Private Points for crisis response and long-term class strategy 382.
• Collective preparation — The class organizes study groups, shared knowledge resources, peer tutoring, and practice groups rather than relying on individual advancement 264.
• Intelligence-driven strategy — Toudou conducts reconnaissance of rival classes and reports actionable information to Ichinose 143 216 217.
• Mutual support under pressure — When Sakayanagi exposes Ichinose’s past, the class overwhelmingly chooses to support her and remain united through graduation 376.

Major Arcs

Class Leader Election

Ichinose is unanimously selected as Class B’s leader because of her ability to inspire trust and unity. Kanzaki accepts the vice-leader role, creating the class’s central leadership structure 8.

Private Point Management

After receiving its initial allocation, Class B debates how to use its funds. Kanzaki and Shiranami establish a stabilizing management plan, while Toudou contributes pragmatic advice and gains the trust of several classmates 32 34.

The class later spends 300,000 Private Points on study materials from Miyazaki Miyabi, a risky purchase that consumes nearly half of its reserve funds 52.

Deserted Island Special Test

Class B operates an organized camp, dividing itself into fishing, gathering, cooking, and sanitation work. Toudou’s trap helps the fishing team catch more than twenty fish and two crabs, while Kobashi Yume and Shiranami lead the gathering team to a fruit-rich area 137.

The class remains wary of Kaneda Satoru, who arrives at its camp while covertly probing its operations. Toudou and Ichinose provide basic aid but prevent him from accessing meaningful information, while Kanzaki coordinates surveillance among core members 136 137.

Class B confirms its assistance agreement with Class D, with Ichinose affirming that the class will provide support. Toudou warns Horikita Suzune about possible Class C infiltration and sabotage 138.

Toudou’s reconnaissance identifies Ryūen Kaku as Class C’s leader and supplies Class B with reliable leader information. Ichinose and Kanzaki ultimately trust his judgment when submitting the leader form 145 162.

Mars Group Beneficiary Test

Class B participates in the Mars Group’s Beneficiary-identification test alongside students from the other classes. Ichinose, Toudou, Beppu Ryota, and Kanzaki analyze possible outcomes with an emphasis on minimizing risk to both the group and Class B 166 167.

During the group’s disputes over cooperation, Toudou challenges Class A’s proposed strategy of enforced silence, while Ichinose advocates discussion-based cooperation 171 172 173. Later, Ichinose and Toudou support a public declaration strategy in which Class B members reveal that they are not Beneficiaries 196.

Sports Festival Preparation

Toudou acts as Class B’s vice-president during sports festival preparations. With Ichinose’s approval, he observes Class D and Class A training, records their lineups and strengths, and reports findings for Class B’s countermeasures 216 217.

White Paper Shuffle

Class B turns the White Paper Shuffle into a class-wide effort against Class A. The class studies intensively, supports weaker students, and selects World History as its examination subject after weighing its strengths against Class A’s 268 269.

Ichinose’s Past

Sakayanagi Arisu targets Class B by accusing Ichinose of having a criminal past and arguing that the class has placed its future at risk through centralized trust in her 371 372.

Ichinose admits her past mistakes and asks to continue forward with her classmates. Rather than abandoning her, Class B collectively reaffirms its commitment to graduate together, strengthening its unity 376.

Rise to Class A

Across later special exams—including Tower Command, All-Grade Mixed Confrontation, and Intellectual Chessboard—Class B performs strongly under Toudou’s guidance and Ichinose’s increasingly mature leadership 390.

By graduation, Class B surpasses the original Class A and secures the Class A position, achieving the academy’s highest class honor 390.

Relationships

• Shiranami Chihiro — Information-processing and administrative support; assists Kanzaki with point management and class planning 7 34.
• Class D — Allied during the deserted-island test; Class B confirms its willingness to provide assistance despite recognizing Class D’s internal disunity 138 145.
• Class A — Major competitive rival, challenged by Class B in the White Paper Shuffle and later surpassed in the final class rankings 268 390.
• Class C — Frequent strategic threat under Ryūen Kaku; Class B monitors its infiltration attempts and suspected alliances 136 143 145.

Trivia

• The class’s identity is built around bonds and mutual trust rather than pursuing victory through any means necessary 264.
• Its pooled Private Point reserve is intended to protect classmates during crises, though its exact total is not disclosed 382.
