"You should still be careful, after all, it's an exam."
"You scared me... it's just an evaluation."
"But the evaluation will have an impact later on, right? Even if we promote to Class A, if the evaluation in the middle is bad..."
"That's true..."
"Alright!" The bell for class rang, and Chabashira Sae straightened her expression, giving them no extra time to think: "Time for class!"
She had specifically set aside half the period for them to reflect, hoping they could clearly understand what they were doing.
Class A possesses the most fundamental qualities of a student.
Although Class B has rich empathy, they still clearly understand the significance of the 'class struggle'.
Class C goes without saying; under the oppression of violent rule, everyone keeps silent about everything they already know.
Only Class D is the exception.
Even when it comes to information that everyone spent money together to obtain, they truly find it difficult to have any intention of keeping it confidential.
After all, haven't Class B and Class C already gotten ahead? Isn't Class A already in the highest position to begin with?
Carrying a sense of resentment, amidst conversations exchanged in all sorts of ways, one sentence after another.
Class D easily leaked everything that happened in the classroom this morning.
"...A god-tier weirdo." Revealing a strange expression, Asakusa Toru could only spit out such an evaluation.
Don't misunderstand, he wasn't talking about Class D, but Class D's homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae.
The reason Class D would do such a thing is simply because they lack a center, so they let Yamauchi Haruki, who is best at shouting stupid things, lead their thoughts.
The public's opinion is like grass in the wind, swaying to whichever side the wind blows.
As long as someone appears who can pin down Yamauchi and Ike, Class D would rise from being an unimaginable defective product to the same kind of useless defective product as previous Class Ds.
One can only say, truly worthy of being the greatest masterpiece of the Black Room.
She accomplished what others could not.
But unlike the greatest masterpiece of the Black Room, this person Chabashira Sae is just purely rotten.
Her words and actions are contradictory, her logic is inverted and chaotic; she probably doesn't even know what she is doing herself.
She has an obsession with wanting the class she leads to promote to Class A, but because she feels there is no possibility, she just gives up and does nothing.
Upon discovering that a Joker might have been placed in the wrong class, she immediately runs over to pull out the Pseudo-human to show off, telling Horikita that this guy is great, this guy is strong, this guy is actually very capable.
Then, she turns around and hides the correct exam scope for the midterm exam that would cause students to drop out.
Sure, you could say she actually felt the Pseudo-human Ayanokoji wouldn't put in the effort, so she wanted to force him, but after using his father's information to threaten the Pseudo-human on the uninhabited island, she then turned around and let the mole Two-Faced Person leak the information during the sports festival. Forget about a direct notification; she didn't even seem to have the thought of giving a warning. Her actions of purely wanting to watch him fall flat on his face are really hard to understand.
Does she actually want them to promote to Class A, or does she not?
With the premise of knowing the crazy things she will do in the future, when Asakusa Toru looks back at her actions today, it's not entirely incomprehensible.
This person is just a pure god-tier weirdo.
Don't try to understand her actions, because there is no logic; don't try to think about her words, because she probably hasn't figured out what she wants to do herself.
His concealment of key information in the diary was intentional, and Chabashira Sae's use of 'evaluation' to refer to 'class points' was also intentional.
But he did it to stir up trouble, and Chabashira? She's probably just here to be a joke.
"As expected, the decision to enroll was the right one." Stretching his limbs, Asakusa Toru returned to the dormitory early: "I wouldn't be able to see such a good show if I hadn't enrolled, right?"
"It's too hard to gather so many god-tier weirdos outside."
Pulling out his chair and sitting down, Asakusa Toru took out his Diary.
He had already decided what to write today.
[Good morning, Advanced Nurturing.
Yesterday's diary was once again a full thousand words, but today might be different.
Let's start with the conclusion.
I surrender.
I surrender with both hands and feet.
The reason isn't very convenient to say, but in short, the trend lately isn't right, and I need to settle down for a bit.
I'll still write the diary every day, but as for the content, there might not be much action.
The speed of biting the lighter is unexpectedly fast, but this is due to force majeure affecting it, not my original intention.
Only at times like this do I suddenly wonder why it was this vocational school that chose me, and not the neighboring Shuchiin.
Come to think of it, there are plenty of fun things at Shuchiin, and there's a lot of material to write about.
Like the instant noodle business master and the photographer young lady.
That would be a peerless painting passed down through the ages.
The phrase "I want to become a photographer" from Shinomiya-sama is something I still cannot forget to this day.
It is a pity, but in the end, I still chose this vocational school.
It is very regrettable, but life, after all, is full of all sorts of choices.
I don't have a time machine in my hands, nor can I take a pill for regret; since I have already arrived here, I can only enjoy my school life to the fullest.
It's just that, sigh, the more I stay at this school, the more I can feel the disparity in talent.
You are all born for this, gifted with talent, and there is simply no comparison; someone like me belongs to the category of those who weren't born with the talent for this, yet refused to believe in fate and forced my way in, only to end up unable to get a decent meal and finding myself in a dilemma, utterly miserable, watching you all breeze through school every day until my fists clench until they turn red and my teeth are about to shatter from jealousy, pure jealousy.
I am dying of envy, consumed by jealousy.
Why am I not a part of Class D?
I really want to join the big family of Class D; that way, no matter what I do, as long as I tell everyone I am in Class D, they will all show an expression of understanding.
Chapter 45 Advanced Nurturing Survival Rules
Is there any kind soul who can cough up 20 million points to help me transfer classes?
...Forget it, since I lack that talent, I shouldn't force anything.
No matter how much I envy or how jealous I am, those without talent will ultimately never be able to defeat those who have it.
Let's focus on the present and return to the Diary.
Diary, diary, isn't it supposed to record the events of each day?
No matter how I think about it, the most important thing to talk about today is definitely Little Sister-chan.
Little Sister-chan wouldn't play hide-and-seek with me, and I am very sad.
But the fact that Little Sister-chan actually dared to stand up and resist the masterpiece of the Black Room is something I think deserves praise.
For this reason, I have decided to give such a Little Sister-chan a few reminders.
Advanced Nurturing Survival Rules:
1. Advanced Nurturing is a place where might makes right; please ensure you have sufficient strength.
2. In Advanced Nurturing, be cautious in your words and actions; please ensure that what you say will not be recorded by any device.

7. I wish you a pleasant three years at Advanced Nurturing.]
The text refreshing on the Diary stopped here.
Looking at the final words, Horikita Suzune fell into silence.
"..." Is there actually someone who envies Class D?
If there were, she would really like to switch places with them, no matter which class it was, as long as it wasn't Class D.
Unfortunately, it cannot be changed.
She had heard the name Shuchiin; it seemed to be a very prestigious school for the nobility, where everyone inside was a child of unimaginable power and influence.
To be honest, it was quite surprising that an only heir to a conglomerate like Koenji would come to Advanced Nurturing instead of Shuchiin.
However, this idle gossip was not important.
What was important was the content that followed.
Today, she first confirmed the authenticity of the information written in the diary yesterday with their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae.
Then, she went to the class to seek everyone's help.
...Although there were some twists and turns, at least the final result was good.
Everyone chipped in money.
After receiving the money, Chabashira-sensei also kept her promise and revealed the truth about the special exam.
'Behavioral Norms Exam'
A point-deduction exam linked to the school's evaluation of them.
Although those pseudo-humans like Yamauchi seemed to have quite a few objections, since the existence and scope of the exam were confirmed, one would think that at the very least, they would be able to behave themselves during class.
But... who is the masterpiece of the Black Room?
Why did it say that I stood up to oppose it?
At the time, after she had made the information public, weren't the only ones who raised objections Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji?
If Yamauchi Haruki is a pseudo-human, then... is Ike Kanji the 'masterpiece'?
And what on earth is the Black Room?
Perhaps because yesterday's information had been verified, today, Horikita Suzune regained a little bit of trust in the Diary.
So, she subconsciously began to ponder the content of today's Diary.
Quite a bit was written in today's entry, and ignoring the meaningless remarks about needing to settle down for a while, the important content was below.
'Little Sister-chan'.
...She was no longer calling her Low-Spec Yukino.
Was it because she felt that nickname insulted the person named 'Yukino', or because she felt I did a good job today?
A ripple of emotion that she herself couldn't quite explain stirred within Horikita Suzune.
"...Come to think of it, it seems like the first day's Diary entry also mentioned starting a game of hide-and-seek." Upon seeing this mentioned in today's entry, Horikita Suzune realized belatedly that such a thing had indeed happened.
Because it seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she was more concerned with her brother's opinion of her at the time, she had ignored it.
"Does that mean... I should pretend I haven't read the Diary?" She didn't understand.
Why would she do that?
A look of clear-eyed bewilderment appeared in Horikita Suzune's eyes.
Wasn't the Diary appearing in her possession meant for her to read?
Wasn't the content written on it exactly what the other person wanted to convey?
Ignoring the fact that the other party had deliberately fabricated a Trial to deceive her, if she thought about it carefully, this Diary had actually been a great help to her so far.
If not for the other party warning her about the special exam, she dared not imagine how much Class D's evaluation would have plummeted by the end of the month, nor could she imagine how her brother would view her.
If not for the existence of the Diary, she probably still wouldn't know the significance of her being in Class D, nor would she have been able to understand that look in her brother's eyes back then.
Therefore, although she had been deceived once, Horikita Suzune actually felt that this Diary was still very important.
Everything mentioned and written on it, she needed to read carefully.
Just like what was mentioned this time, the 'Advanced Nurturing Survival Rules'.
