Shimizu Akira thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, how many Class Points are you still behind Class B?"
Kanzaki Ryuji glanced at his phone. "Our class currently has 1,152 points, while Sakayanagi's class has 1,391. We're short by around 250 points."

In truth, Shimizu Akira had learned this news several days ago.
That meant Ayanokouji Atsuomi would be taking power soon, wouldn't
