Background / History

Class A began the school year with a clear academic advantage and the highest Class Points, but its students quickly divided between Katsuragi Kouhei’s collectivist approach and Sakayanagi Arisu’s rejection of unnecessary class unity. The split became formal when roughly one-third of the class joined Katsuragi’s study group while the rest left. 2 25 27

Kazehara Tetsu initially remained detached from the factional struggle, focusing on academics, information gathering, and private schemes. Over time, he became the class’s central strategist and leader, while Katsuragi handled internal affairs and Sakayanagi became one of his closest supporters. 24 253 323 346

During the Forest School exam, Kazehara organized mixed-class groups to exploit reward multipliers. A twelve-member Class A contingent in the first-place boys’ group earned the class 336 Class Points and 1.08 million Personal Points. 253 257 293

For the Class Vote, Class A pooled enough Personal Points to ensure that no member would be expelled. It concentrated Praise Votes on Sakayanagi and Criticism Votes on Kazehara, treating the exam as a controlled formality rather than an internal crisis. 314 322

Sakayanagi served as Class A’s Commander Tower in the first-year Selection Project Exam, protected by her Protection Point. Class A’s event choices combined academic contests with large-scale physical events, and its plan relied on repeatedly deploying versatile high-performing students once the total participant count exceeded the class roster. 326 334 335

By the end of the first year, Class A had consolidated into a unified force under Kazehara’s leadership, with Katsuragi and Sakayanagi supporting the class’s overall direction. It finished with 2,903 Class Points. 346

In the second year, Class A won the Cross-Grade Pairing Written Exam with a combined score of 971 and a class average of 752. Five students—Ibuki Mio, Albert Yamada, Ishizaki Daichi, Shiina Hiyori, and Ryuen Kakeru—later transferred into the class at a cost of 20 million Personal Points each. 389 492 493

Personality

Class A is highly competitive and conscious of its position at the top of the school hierarchy. Its students generally treat school events as strategic contests for Class Points, resources, and long-term security rather than ordinary academic activities. 25 141 507

The class was initially fragmented and vulnerable to internal power struggles. Under Kazehara’s influence, it developed into a disciplined and unified group willing to pool resources, follow centralized strategy, and protect its members from forced expulsion. 27 314 322 346
