In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

If Shirogane thought the girl named Horikita Suzune he saw in the elevator that morning was aloof, then this girl with purple hair was even more so, flatly refusing any contact with others.

[She is lying.]

A voice rang out in Shirogane's mind.

At the same time.

Shirogane also felt that this girl was lying. Because when she looked up and saw him, there was clearly a flash of surprise in her eyes before she quickly averted her gaze.

It was an expression of someone feeling guilty yet forcing themselves to remain calm.

Of course, the most suspicious part was that when Shirogane asked if she had encountered any trouble, she replied that she hadn't lost anything.

This was a nonsensical answer to a question.

It was a probing question Shirogane had asked on purpose. Yet, she had answered it honestly.

Therefore, her brain might not be working too well.

Moreover, she clearly recognized him, yet she insisted on saying she didn't know him, which meant she was trying to distance herself.

So.

Although it was a bit rude to say so, Shirogane could confirm that the SD card he found at the entrance of the electronics store must have been dropped by her. And there might be something incredible inside that SD card. That was why she was deliberately distancing herself from him, not wanting anyone to know the SD card was hers.

However, he should finish his own business first.

Shirogane had already taken the initiative to appear before her; if the SD card was important to her, she would eventually come to find him herself.

Because buying a laptop and a USB drive had taken up some time, Shirogane headed straight to the supermarket.

The supermarket was well-stocked with supplies, but having too many choices was exactly what made it time-consuming.

And after all the daily necessities were purchased, Shirogane was finally able to sit down and rest for a while.

"Beep-beep!"

At that moment, Classmate Shiina sent over a file.

Even before clicking on it, he knew it was the video of Classmate Ryuen hitting someone.

Shirogane knew this was an important task, so he immediately connected the laptop to a power source, turned it on, backed up the file, and transferred it to the USB drive.

A one-stop service.

And after finishing all this, Shirogane noticed his phone had received another message from Classmate Shiina.

It was a notification from the chat app.

It seemed that every student was automatically registered for the chat app using the information from their student ID.

And Classmate Shiina had sent a request.

"Would you like to join the first-year Class C group chat?"

In other words, this was the class group.

Then, naturally, he had to join.

Actually, Shirogane had some thoughts on this. Since this school had students compete as a class, with the class evaluation points being the only standard for ranking.

And the freshmen would undergo a behavioral conduct exam during their first month; in this exam, if a student displayed behavior inconsistent with that of a qualified high school student, points would be deducted. The deductions would be taken from the class's initial 1000 points.

So, basically, the first month was all about point deductions.

And since only the Class A of the third year could represent the school upon graduation.

It meant that the point values of the four classes fluctuated during this process; only when people saw an opportunity would they want to climb higher, and when they saw someone trying to climb up, the classes occupying the top positions would definitely try their best to block them.

This was competition.

And things were indeed like that; according to what the upperclassmen had said, there was basically a special exam every month.

The exams involved rewards or deductions of private points and class evaluation points.

That was why the rankings of the four classes would fluctuate.

And since it was only the first month of enrollment, the only thing to consider was how to hold onto those initial 1000 points.

However.

Classmate Shirogane was sitting at a table with a notebook on it, recording the point deduction situations that the two upperclassmen had told him about when they were first informed.

Reading manga in class--points deducted

Playing with a phone in class--points deducted

Sleeping in class--points deducted

Lateness, leaving early, truancy--points deducted

Uncivilized behavior--points deducted

Fighting and brawling--heavy points deducted

It didn't seem like such a big deal; on the contrary, these were just things a qualified student should be doing.

These were all items subject to point deductions, so were there really no options for earning bonus points?

He knew his own class best.

Managing one person might be relatively easy, but a class of 40 students meant that every single student was a source of potential deductions, and this exam would last for 30 days.

"..."

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Because even in today's homeroom, he could see 80% of the students touching their phones while the teacher was talking; although Shirogane Miyuki had touched his too, he had been recording the audio at the time.

Feeling troubled, Classmate Shirogane noticed the SD card he had picked up on the road in front of the electronics store in the shopping district.

He had basically confirmed that the item lost by the Purple-Haired Girl was that SD card, yet she was deeply wary of it.

It was safe to say the contents of the SD card were likely extraordinary and, at the same time, could not be exposed.

Normally, he would take it directly to the student council's lost and found, but the student council staff would surely check what was inside upon receiving the SD card. If something scandalous were seen, the Purple-Haired Girl might lose all face.

He had a card reader configured for his computer.

It was the perfect opportunity to see what was on the SD card.

Beep!

It connected quickly.

And Shirogane noticed that some photos had already popped up.

Then.

!!

"..."

Shirogane felt fortunate that there were no cameras in his dorm room right now; otherwise, it wouldn't just be the Purple-Haired Girl's reputation at stake—the first person in Class C to be deducted points today would be him, Shirogane Miyuki.

Chapter 016: The Person Heading to the Student Council, What a Coincidence!

The next day.

School.

"Did Classmate Shirogane stay up late studying again yesterday?"

As Classmate Shirogane arrived in the classroom, a girl's voice came from the seat next to him.

It was Classmate Shiina.

Classmate Shiina was an obstacle on his path of study again today, but after learning that she was also someone who loved to study, Shirogane found that his resistance toward her seemed to have grown stronger.

"I saw something a bit shocking," Shirogane said, arriving at his seat and pulling out his chair to sit down. "So I was a bit tense, but I still managed to study."

But I still managed to study.

Listen to that—what a strange thing for Classmate Shirogane to say.

Are you saying that even after encountering such things, you still had to study?

Terrifying!

At this moment.

[Classmate Shiina seems to be in awe of your limits; she is wondering how a person can push themselves to this extent.]

Hm?

Shirogane wasn't all that surprised to hear the narrator's voice.

Was reaching this level really that exaggerated?

But to Shirogane, this was just his ordinary daily life.

He felt he lacked the talent for studying, so he could only catch up through desperate effort.

The specific reason was that when he was young, he didn't perform well on his entrance exams for elementary school and kindergarten, so he didn't gain his mother's favor. When his mother left home, she only took his younger sister with her.

It made him feel that he was looked down upon by his mother. To the little boy he was back then, if he had been abandoned because of poor grades, then he would just have to work hard to improve them, and then his mother would come back to take him away.

But even though his grades improved, his mother never returned.

By the time Shirogane realized it, he had already grown up and discovered that his family was dirt poor. Since excellent grades offered a chance at scholarships, he had persisted in the habit of studying hard from that time on.

Thinking about it, he had kept up this habit until now.

And then... he entered Ikusei High School, only to be assigned to Class C.

Because he knew the reality of the class distribution, it was inevitable that Class A had the best quality of students, and he must have had some flaws to be assigned to a lower class. This feeling of being the one left over didn't feel very good.

So.

Charge upward.

It was not just about being assigned to Class C, but also about obtaining the rewards promised by the school.

Securing guaranteed admission to a desired university without entrance exams was of extreme importance to him.

The condition to climb higher was for the class as a whole to surpass Class A in class evaluation points. Although the school granted the students three years, it meant that as long as they surpassed Class A and became Class A by the time of graduation, they would receive the promise fulfilled by the school.

This was a long process that required fighting a protracted war.

Last night, the cold and arrogant Classmate Ryuen sent three photos around 10:30 PM.

They were photos of three small chalkboards.

The first chalkboard was completely empty.

But the second and third chalkboards had numbers written on them.

The second one was:

A1210

B780

C430

D200

And the third chalkboard was:

A2330

B1570

C300

D70

These were images that were somewhat confusing at first glance, but after understanding the true nature of this school, one quickly realized that these three chalkboards were likely records of the evaluation points for each class across the three grade levels.
