Organization and School System
Class D is one of High-Spec School's four first-year classes. The school distributes personal points according to Class Points, with each Class Point equaling 100 personal points for every student. 2 13
Chabashira identifies Class D as the school's lowest-evaluated class and states that only promotion to Class A guarantees university admission and employment support. A class can rise in rank by surpassing the Class Points of the class above it. 16
- Homeroom teacher: Chabashira Sae, who remains responsible for the class throughout its three years at the school. 2
- Initial personal-point distribution: Each student received 100,000 points upon enrollment. 2
- Monthly distribution: The class received 11,000 personal points per student following its 110-Class-Point first-month result. 16
- Current known distribution: After reaching 200 Class Points, each student was due 20,000 personal points; the scheduled monthly deposit was delayed by an administrative issue. 40
History
First-Month Assessment
Class D initially treats the school's lenient classroom environment as permission for unrestricted behavior. Students sleep through lessons, use terminals, read manga, eat snacks, and chat during class, while attendance is treated casually. 5
Konoe Hirakawa suspects that the school is secretly evaluating students as a class after observing surveillance cameras, free store items, and upperclassmen's contempt for Class D. He shares this theory with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, then relays it to Hirata Yosuke, who attempts to convince the class to improve its discipline. 6 8
Hirata's appeal fails to fully unite the class. Sudo Ken and Yamauchi Haruki oppose the unproven warnings, while many students remain indifferent. The resulting first-month evaluation leaves Class D at 110 Class Points. 8 16
Midterm Preparation
After Chabashira reveals that students who fail a midterm or final subject face expulsion, Class D begins organized study efforts. Seven students are initially at risk based on their pop-quiz scores. 16
Horikita Suzune forms a study group for Sudo, Yamauchi, and Ike Kanji. Konoe tutors struggling classmates, while Ayanokoji assists their preparation. Konoe also directs Kushida Kikyo and Ayanokoji to acquire and verify past exam papers, which are used for mock examinations. 21 27 29 34
The class achieves strong midterm results and avoids expulsions. Kushida later admits that the practice papers were past exams rather than confirmed copies of the actual test. 34 35
Sudo Assault Case
Class D faces a new crisis when Sudo is accused of assaulting three Class C basketball-club students. The accusation threatens both Sudo's enrollment and the class's points. 41 42
Konoe independently investigates Class C's regular KTV gathering and obtains surveillance footage through shop manager Kashiwagi. The footage suggests that Class C representative Ryuen Kaito may have exaggerated a claimant's injuries before filing the appeal. 43 44
Horikita ultimately agrees to investigate Sudo's case after being persuaded by Ayanokoji. Konoe, however, withdraws from direct involvement after securing evidence, choosing to prioritize his Student Council work. 44

Trivia
