Results Announced

"In addition, regarding yesterday's quiz, I will now distribute the results."

In class a, mashima displayed everyone's report cards on the projector:

1st Place: amasawa yuto 100 (Grade Rank: 1)

2nd Place: arisu sakayanagi 95 (Grade Rank: 3)

3rd Place: shimazaki ikkei 90 (Grade Rank: 6)

Many students cast surprised glances toward amasawa yuto; after all, not many people knew that his entrance exam scores were perfect across all subjects.

amasawa yuto felt both amazed and hateful gazes directed at him.

arisu sakayanagi, sitting beside him, smiled. "As expected of you."

sakayanagi's score was already quite outstanding; a score of 95 meant she had solved two of the final three difficult problems.

shimazaki ikkei—amasawa yuto had an impression of him. He was the overachiever who had been studying in the library on the very first day of school, so it was no surprise he achieved this score.

shimazaki, sitting in the front row, happened to turn around and locked eyes with amasawa yuto, though he quickly looked away.

The 2nd place in the grade should be yuki, and the 4th and 5th should be ichinose honami and horikita suzune, respectively.

The hateful gazes came from members of the katsuragi faction, especially his right-hand man, totsuka yahiko, whose hateful eyes were fixed directly on him and the sakayanagi beside him.

katsuragi's score was 6th in the class and 10th in the grade. As a student, that was quite good, but as a leader, it was a bit subtle.

Of course, it wasn't a requirement for a leader to have high grades; after all, there was still ryuen from class c.

As for totsuka yahiko, his score was 40th in the class, which meant he was at the very bottom of class a.

Looking at the results, even kito hayato, who was the muscle of class a, scored better than him?

How on earth did this guy get into class a?

It seems that when the classes were divided, to ensure balance, some people who benefited from the system were admitted into class a.

"Everyone's grades are very good. After all, you are all excellent; the average score is the highest among the four classes," mashima said with a smile, then wrote a number at the bottom of the report card: 41, and drew a line after it.

"This is the passing grade for this exam. No one failed!"

yuto did a quick calculation in his head. The average score for class a should be 81.925. It seems the passing line was half of the average score.

"Amazing, truly amazing. You really are a group of 'honor students' who have opened my eyes!" chabashira sae spread the quiz results across the screen. "To have nine people fail such a simple test—you really are a class d without precedent!"

Everyone was so intimidated by the stern aura of Sae Chabashira that they didn't dare make a sound. This was especially true for Kanji Ike, who had jokingly shouted earlier that morning, asking if she was on her period when he saw her walk in with such a serious expression.

"Teacher, please tell us how to increase our class points!" Yosuke Hirata bit the bullet and stood up to ask for a solution on everyone's behalf. After all, they couldn't possibly go an entire month without any point income, could they?

"There is no way at the moment. Your class will have zero points this month. You won't starve to death, anyway; there's a free wild vegetable set meal in the cafeteria, isn't there?" The expression on Chabashira's face was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"How could you!" The class wailed in unison. This was especially true for the group of girls led by Kei Karuizawa, who would rather die than eat that kind of food.

Sae Chabashira looked at this motley crew and let out an imperceptible sigh.

Although she hadn't managed to get Yuto Amasawa assigned to her class, she had at least expected that when the classes were formed, she would receive two high-level assets in Rokusuke Koenji and Yuki Tsubaki. She had finally hoped to move up a class.

As it turned out, the incompetence of Class D still exceeded her imagination.

She had thought that after years of playing the fool, the moment for her to wash away her shame had finally arrived, only to find that this batch of students was even more hopeless than the last.

When Yuto Amasawa had come to ask her about the purchasing rules, she had originally intended to give Class D special treatment so they would understand the system, but he never came back to ask anything further.

Judging by the abnormally high scores of Class B, it was highly likely that Hoshinomiya had reached some sort of deal with Amasawa.

Her gaze returned to her own class—a chaotic mess that made her head spin.

She had never seen a class burn through all their points within the first month of school. Even the worst Class D of previous years had managed to keep over a hundred.

And now, they were still focused on their personal points?

"If this were an official exam, nine people in this class would be expelled!" she warned sternly.

"That's impossible, Chabashira-sensei, the questions were too hard!" Ike complained bitterly, reverting his address for the teacher from "Sae" back to "Chabashira-sensei."

"Hard?" A vein nearly popped on Sae Chabashira's forehead. Seventy percent of the questions on this exam were at a middle school level; even a middle schooler could have solved them.

With that level of difficulty, Ken Sudo scored 9, Kanji Ike scored 12, and Haruki Yamauchi scored 15.

The sum of the three of them didn't even add up to her shoe size, yet they had the nerve to blame the difficulty of the questions?!

Go home and sleep it off!

"Don't worry about them, teacher. It's just the barking of stray dogs." The speaker was Koenji. Even now, he had his feet propped up on his desk, arms crossed, looking completely relaxed and at ease.

"What did you say, Koenji, you bastard!" Sudo's short temper flared up again. "Hmph, you probably failed too, anyway."

"Then open your dog eyes and behold my beautiful score." Koenji glanced at him, a look of contemptuous mockery on his face. "Loser."

"What are you saying? Didn't you only score—wait, where is Koenji's name?"

Ike's gaze traveled from the bottom of the list all the way up, only finding Koenji's name at third place.

Third Place: Rokusuke Koenji, 90 (Grade Rank: 6)

This score was very high, indicating that he had also solved a difficult problem.

"This guy... how could he score so high?"

"That is precisely why I say you are all idiots who cannot even solve such simple problems!"

"Koenji, you just secretly insulted me, didn't you!"

"Everyone, please stop arguing! I don't want to see this!" Yosuke Hirata intervened in time, avoiding the worst-case scenario of Sudo and Koenji fighting in front of the teacher.

"Sudo, please don't be so impulsive. And Koenji, please don't provoke others. After all, nobody has any income this month, and things are tough for everyone."

"Exactly, exactly. You act so high and mighty, but you still ended up in Class D just like the rest of us!" Kanji Ike's voice exposed the scar everyone wanted to avoid the most.

He might have been too busy mocking Koenji to notice, but this action caused his already low standing among his classmates to plummet even further.

"Hmph! I don't care which class I'm assigned to at all." Koenji pulled a small mirror from out of nowhere and began to comb his hair while looking at his reflection. "Let me tell you, my family is the Koenji conglomerate, and I have long since been designated as the successor to the presidency. I don't care about those graduation privileges. Ah, I am so beautiful!"

Koenji, lost in his own world, left everyone speechless.

He was super wealthy and could afford not to care about his class, but what about the others?

If they couldn't graduate from Class A, and if entering this school meant being treated as discarded pawns, wouldn't they just be wasting three years of their lives here for nothing?
