Class Standing
| Point Milestone | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 initial class points | 7 | Class points are converted into monthly private-point distributions at a 1:100 ratio. |
| 970 class points; 1st place | 21 | Retained the grade lead after its first month. The class’s score exceeded the combined totals of Classes C and D. |
Class A was assigned as the highest-value first-year class under the school’s A-to-D sorting system. Its students quickly inferred that surveillance, academic ability, conduct, physical capability, social skills, and critical thinking could affect the school’s evaluation of student value. 6 7
Only students who graduate from Class A receive the school’s promised advancement and employment guarantee, making the class position a central priority for its members. 21 22
Background
At the start of the school year, Class A treated its monthly point allocation cautiously. Katsuragi Kōhei urged the class to preserve the status quo until it understood the evaluation criteria, and the students agreed to gather intelligence rather than spend recklessly. 3
Mikage Touji and Morishita Ran independently investigated the school’s rules, later holding an information duel that established key facts: classes were sorted by value, surveillance was used to assess behavior, and Class A graduation was tied to the school’s promised benefits. 6 7
The class maintained its lead through its first month, receiving 970 class points on May 1. Mashima Tomoya nevertheless warned its students that Class A had been overtaken in previous years. 21
Following the revelation of the S System’s academic-expulsion rules, Class A organized tutoring for weaker students. Its academic efforts culminated in strong exam results and a two-week southern-island vacation reward. 32 44 45
Organization and Dynamics
| Position / Function | Member(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Class leader | Katsuragi Kōhei | Handles most Class A affairs and organized its early intelligence-sharing and point-management plans. 11 25 29 |
| Strategic influence | Mikage Touji | Though he repeatedly declines formal leadership, classmates and outsiders treat him as a major Class A figure due to his deductions, manipulation, and initiative. 9 21 29 |
| Emergency-fund custodian | Mikage Touji | Class A entrusted him with its pooled emergency points, earning him the nickname “Mobile Vault.” 25 |
| Student Council connection | Katsuragi Kōhei | Became a Student Council general affairs officer. 48 |
| Katsuragi supporter | Totsuka Yahiko | Frequently follows Katsuragi and openly backs him in class decisions. 11 25 |
Class A is academically capable and generally disciplined, but its members are notably individualistic. Students tend to evaluate proposals pragmatically, often withholding objections when a majority favors a plan. 25
The class gradually formed smaller cliques during breaks. Despite this fragmentation, it mobilizes effectively when class standing, intelligence gathering, or academic preparation is at stake. 16 32

Policies and Resources
- Point preservation — The class initially agreed not to act rashly with its monthly points while the school’s criteria remained unclear. 3
- Emergency fund — Katsuragi proposed pooling part of the class’s points for emergencies and rewarding students who contribute to the class; the proposal was accepted. 25
- Academic tutoring — Shiraishi Asuka ran targeted assessments and tutoring sessions for Mikage Touji and Kamuro Masumi. Kiryūin Fūka later helped Mikage raise his Japanese Literature level to the Class A average. 32 39
- Class intelligence — Members gather and compare information on the school system and rival classes, with Mikage, Morishita, Hashimoto, Kito, and Yamamura each contributing in different ways. 6 19 37
Relationships
- Class B — Class A considers Class B its principal competitor; Mikage identifies it as the remaining serious threat after assessing Classes C and D. 19 20
- Class C — Mikage uses compromising material involving Ryuen Kakeru to undermine Class C’s internal stability; Ryuen is later suspended following the restroom incident. 12 14
- Class D — Class A observes Class D’s disorganization and zero class points, though some members continue to monitor its capable individual students. 21 43
- Student Council — Katsuragi’s appointment as a general affairs officer gives Class A a direct connection to the council. 48
Trivia
- Class A selected Mikage Touji as its point custodian partly because outsiders would not expect the class to entrust its funds to its “weirdo.” 25
- Mikage is widely regarded within Class A as talented, handsome, and gentle despite his chuunibyou behavior and erratic antics. 21
- The class’s surprise at Mikage’s perfect Japanese Literature score was greater than its surprise at its own high exam performance. 44 45
