Class D's Mini-Exam, Welcome to the Supremacy of Strength!

First Year Class D, Chabashira Sae entered the classroom with a small exam paper.

Heh... So you're starting to pretend to be a good student now? It's too late!

These past few days, the changes in Class D's classroom hadn't escaped her eyes.

However, Chabashira Sae found it a bit strange. If it was that person from Class C who made a move, why did it happen at such an awkward time?

Chabashira led the class, never interacting with Class D students in April, nor revealing any information beneficial to the class.

This was because Chabashira's usual policy for Class D was to ignore them for the first month and then crush them hard at the beginning of the next month!

Only then could she establish her authority as Class D's homeroom teacher, making it easier to guide this class, a gathering of flawed individuals, towards future progress.

Therefore, Chabashira didn't know at this moment that this was a piece of expiring information carefully chosen by Tennoji Kaede of Class C and sold to Class D.

And now, Class D was about to be hit hard again!

"Now, we will begin a surprise pop quiz," Chabashira Sae said coldly.

"What! A test now? Sae-chan, why didn't you notify us in advance?"

"Are we going to be expelled!?"

Ike Kanji suddenly wailed loudly.

Having heard just a few days ago that failing the exam meant expulsion, most of the students with poor grades in Class D also showed terrified expressions, muttering blankly.

Chabashira Sae was equally surprised. Class D already knew that failing the exam meant expulsion?

In previous years, this was her favorite thing to pretend to be a big shot about in front of a collapsing Class D in early May!

Now, she couldn't pretend anymore?

For a moment, Chabashira was even contemplating whether to tell these desperate rejects the truth:

This pop quiz wasn't a formal assessment and had no impact on the class's future...

But in the end, Chabashira chose to conceal the truth she had originally intended to reveal.

In this school, as long as students don't ask, and teachers say less, there isn't much of a problem.

Of course, a normal teacher wouldn't do this, because class performance was closely related to the homeroom teacher.

But unfortunately, Chabashira, due to some past events, had her own ideas.

She even felt like praising Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's intelligence at this moment.

In Chabashira's view, revealing the news that failing the exam meant expulsion at this awkward juncture was Ayanokoji's way of motivating Class D to study hard for this pop quiz!

In fact, if they performed well on this pop quiz and no one failed, it would indeed be very beneficial for the class point assessment next month!

So, if Chabashira told Class D the truth now, it would only make them deflate, and they would take the exam more casually.

But now?

If she said nothing, Class D would study harder, and might even retain more class points. Why wouldn't she be happy about that?

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka: ...? What does Chabashira-sensei's gaze mean?

As expected, she recognizes me.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka became secretly vigilant. The probability of Chabashira Sae being a White Room assassin was very low, but she might have obtained information about his past from somewhere... He needed to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger.

And so, Class D went through a pop quiz session, a battle of wits against the air.

Afterward, amidst the painful and desperate waiting of Class D, the day of judgment arrived.

Advanced Nurturing High School, May 1st, first homeroom class.

The early morning sky was hazy, as if covered by a veil, waiting to be pierced.

After that nightmare-like pop quiz, the Class D classroom fell into a deathly silence, like stagnant water.

How many points can I score? Will I fail?

Self-assessment was, in fact, a passive skill for any enrolled student.

Chabashira Sae entered the classroom carrying a large bundle of newspapers.

"Eek~!" Someone, who knows who, let out a low scream.

Horikita's expression was grim. She still believed that many students in Class D would be expelled, and their points would surely decrease significantly.

There was no way around it; the information provided by Tennoji Kaede was too misleading, and Class D lacked crucial information. Thus, except for a very few individuals, no one could figure out the details.

Panel Superman, Class D's leader, a nominee for the handsome list—Hirata Yousuke.

At this moment, Hirata's facial expression was extremely distorted, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

He had secretly rejoiced when Horikita announced the expulsion rules in advance, but he never expected a surprise pop quiz just a few days later!

Hirata was naturally well aware of the poor academic abilities of some students in the class.

But this was simply too sudden!

This school was too unreasonable!

Did he not even have a second to help everyone improve their academic ability?

I was too presumptuous... It's only been a month... Could it be... the class is going to...

Thinking about what might happen next, Hirata found it impossible to breathe.

However, some students in Class D, who thought they would never drop out, couldn't hold back any longer. Kouenji Rokusuke shouted:

"Sae, are you having trouble with your period? Haha..."

Yamauchi Haruki, unconcerned about the class atmosphere, continued to ask:

"Why haven't the points for this month been transferred yet? Horikita said the points would decrease, but they shouldn't decrease to 0 points, right?"

Many classmates looked at him, their expressions unreadable.

"What do you mean, what are you looking at me like that for? Did I say something wrong?"

Yamauchi was confused. Had he misremembered the point changes?

Come to think of it, that doesn't seem quite right...

"Yamauchi, you're quite humorous. You can't even remember how many points you have left?" Chabashira continued to sneer. "The points for this month have already been transferred to you, but it seems you're not very satisfied with the amount? Heh, or do you not care?"

"By the way, some of you might be leaving this school today. You're all worried about that, right?"

Hirata subconsciously raised his head, his eyes flustered.

"Tardiness, absence, a total of 89 times. Private communication during class, 365 times. Your performance last month was truly remarkable. Do you now understand the price you have to pay for these actions?"

Chabashira looked down at everyone, and hardly anyone dared to meet her gaze.

Yamauchi Haruki said anxiously, "What do you guys mean?"

"Haven't you remembered yet, Yamauchi?"

"This month, the points transferred to all of you are: 100! Hahaha!"

Chabashira Sae was indeed amused by this score. It was less painful than becoming 0 points!

"I've been teaching Class D for many years, and this is the first time I've seen such an interesting score! Speaking of which, 100 is indeed not a lot~ No wonder you didn't notice it right away, Yamauchi."

"Huh? Only 100! Can 100,000 turn into 100 directly? What did you guys do last month? Someone speak up!" Yamauchi roared, glaring around.

Beside him, Kouenji Rokusuke could no longer hold back and let out a couple of chuckles.

He had no interest in points. To put it bluntly, they were just like money, a string of numbers, and couldn't compare to his beauty.

But this monkey named "Yamauchi Haruki" next to him was truly amusing, like his complete opposite.

On Class D's blackboard, Chabashira Sae unfurled a poster showing the point changes for each class.

Then, she began to explain the special "class points" mechanism.

The poster clearly showed the class points for each class in May:

Class A: 1000 → 940

Class B: 1000 → 650

Class C: 1000 → 590

Class D: 1000 → 1
