In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

And it went exactly as expected.

Classes C and D were indeed left far behind.

However, Ryuen did not specify which grade the A2330 blackboard with the highest score belonged to, and although Classmate Shirogane sent a follow-up message to ask, Ryuen did not reply.

He seemed to be a bit angry.

Regardless of which class A2330 belongs to, it is clear that the maximum score is only 2330, which means that the competition in the monthly special exams is extremely fierce; while it is not guaranteed that one can earn points, it is certain that there are opportunities to have points deducted.

Therefore, it is very difficult to get a high score quickly.

Looking at it this way.

The 1000 base points for incoming freshmen appear particularly important.

Thinking this, Classmate Shirogane looked in the direction of Ryuen.

Ryuen had already arrived in the classroom, and he had his feet propped up on the desk, stepping on the desk of the boy sitting in front of him; such a posture was not only rude but also arrogant.

According to the criteria for point deductions provided by the upperclassmen, this behavior by Ryuen would result in a deduction.

Does this mean Ryuen has given up?

Or is this a test to see if the student in front of him can be immediately subdued?

"Ryuen!"

The boy whose desk was being stepped on decided he had had enough.

"Talk to me after school," Ryuen said. "Shut up for now!"

"Damn it—"

Shirogane watched the scene.

Classmate Shiina turned around and said to Shirogane.

"That boy is named Ishizaki Daichi, and he was a well-known little brawler back in middle school."

Oh.

But scenes like this might play out in this class for the next two or three days.

Classmate Shiina took the opportunity before the teacher arrived to stand up and walk to the podium.

"Everyone, I am Shiina Hiyori."

"This is a class group chat I just created. I don't have everyone's contact information, so please add yourselves."

"I know some people definitely don't like doing things like this, but this school is a bit strange. We have received some information that if we don't take some action, we might not have our 100,000-point living allowance next month."

"And this matter is very important."

Classmate Hiyori was different from Ryuen. She stood on the podium, speaking eloquently; she was beautiful in appearance, yet efficient in her actions.

This caused students who were dissatisfied with Ryuen's violence to start feeling favorably toward her.

It seemed that Ryuen was the violent troublemaker, while Classmate Shiina was the reasonable, gentle one.

"..." Shirogane.

But this made Shirogane realize that it seemed the class could continue on just fine even if he weren't there.

So, what could he do?

Shirogane did indeed have things that needed to be done.

He had to deal with the contents of the SD card he saw last night.

Therefore.

Classmate Shirogane decided to head to the Student Council, and while he was at it, scout out the situation there.

Since this school is based on meritocracy, what about the Student Council President?

Although most of his attention had been on heading to the gymnasium with Classmate Sakayanagi, Shirogane had paid some attention to the entrance ceremony, which was hosted by the Student Council; during that time, no school leaders went on stage to speak.

This was completely different from a typical school.

Only the Student Council President spoke.

He didn't understand it at the time, but now he seemed to grasp it; the school seemed to grant students great authority, even handing over the organization of events like the entrance ceremony to the students.

To be precise, it was handed over to the Student Council.

Could it be understood, then, that the Student Council of this school actually possesses higher authority than that of an ordinary school in the outside world?

And if he could get into the Student Council, perhaps he could help his class.

Thus.

After school, Classmate Shirogane began his move.

Chapter 017: First-Year Class B, This Isn't B, Is It!

Lunch was udon noodles, and the side dishes inside were delicious.

Of course, as a student, what one should remember is not what they ate for lunch.

Classmate Shirogane discovered that the teaching staff at this school was indeed highly qualified. The teachers were very serious during class and never asked questions, which left nothing to be said. Since the first month involved an assessment of student conduct, the teachers were likely aware of this and chose not to interfere with what students did during class.

However, the textbooks had been changed; the editions were updated, and the difficulty seemed to have increased as well.

Furthermore, unlike typical schools where you could study the content in the book and complete the accompanying exercises without issue, here you would find that if you only mastered the textbook material and exercises, you would be completely unable to solve the problems on the exams.

In other words, learning the textbooks was far from enough; you needed to purchase a large number of practice problems to drill yourself. You had to elevate your level from the difficulty 1 found in the textbooks to difficulty 3 before you could take the exams.

Ikusei High School was different. The curriculum included both textbooks and supplementary practice problems of extremely high difficulty. If one could master the content of those exercises, they would directly reach difficulty 3.

Of course, this was the kind of detail Classmate Shirogane, who was accustomed to studying, would notice.

And now.

Classmate Shirogane was standing in the second-year area.

Before heading to the student council office, Classmate Shirogane had chosen to come to the upperclassmen's area first to scout around.

Naturally, this was also to confirm which grade the numbers on the two small blackboards photographed by Ryuen corresponded to.

The students' living conditions differed, with each grade occupying its own dormitory building.

In other words, students from the three grades were kept separate.

The areas for instruction were also separated.

On one hand, the school had enough land, but on the other, Shirogane felt it might be to minimize interaction between different grades.

For instance, if first-year students were to have contact with other grades right from the start, wouldn't the school's customary conduct assessment for freshmen be compromised?

Freshmen could easily obtain information from the upperclassmen.

Moreover.

The longer one stayed at this school and the more one experienced, the more likely it was that an upperclassman could defeat or manipulate a lowerclassman through an information gap.

This was not just a matter of fairness; it likely wasn't a good thing for the school administration either. After all, the school provided so many resources and such an environment not to serve only one specific graduating class, but to cultivate every single one.

If viewed from the students' perspective, wouldn't the lowerclassmen just be leeks for the upperclassmen to harvest?

Their already meager living expenses would likely be exploited.

How miserable.

It was just that the anomaly he saw in the electronics store yesterday—a digital voice recorder selling for more than a computer—had piqued Classmate Shirogane's interest.

He felt that the school didn't necessarily aim to cultivate upright children.

A voice recorder could be used to supplement classroom lectures, but it could also serve as a tool to record others' words and actions, as well as important intelligence, at any time.

Although mobile phones had built-in recording functions, they couldn't be placed as discreetly as a voice recorder.

Could one then assume that... voice recorders were used to gather intelligence and the like?

On the first day, he had heard the narrator describe Ryuen as a tyrant who climbed the ranks by using underhanded methods.

And at that time, Ryuen had likely not been expelled.

Therefore, Shirogane actually suspected that what this school needed to cultivate might be the kind of person who could be slick and achieve their goals by any means necessary.

And such people... were highly valued in the real world.

In other words, the school wanted to cultivate "talent" that could enter society.

Right now, Shirogane was standing in front of the small blackboard in the second-year area.

A1210

B780

C430

D200

The scene before him was exactly the same as the photo Ryuen had taken yesterday, so he could confirm that these figures were the class points for the four classes of the second year.

Moreover, Class A had risen from the original Class B; they had successfully staged an upset and were even leading Class B by over four hundred points.

However, the fact that the highest score after a full year was only 1200 points showed that dealing with every special exam was no easy task.

"Um, senior?"

While Shirogane was deep in thought, a probing voice suddenly came from behind him.

Senior?

Shirogane looked toward the source of the voice with some surprise.

It turned out to be a beautiful girl who had walked over.

Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also extremely eye-catching.

Her long, silky blonde hair looked incredibly dazzling, and the confident, sweet smile on her face made one fall for her before they even realized it.

Even having seen several other cute or pretty girls, she was someone who would make anyone's heart skip a beat.

Because she was an exceptionally beautiful girl.

That is why this school is truly impressive; even though Classmate Shirogane spent his middle school years completely detached from the outside world, focused solely on frantic studying, he knew that his old school never had this many cute girls.

From the adorable Classmate Sakayanagi to the elegant and rational Classmate Shiina, the angelic Classmate Kushida he encountered in the elevator from Class D, and even the student council president's younger sister, Horikita Suzune—they were all girls rarely seen in the outside world.

And now, another one had appeared.

Although his heart fluttered a bit quickly.

Shirogane realized in an instant that this girl must be a first-year student.

However, with the added intimidation factor of his dark circles, he figured she likely mistook him for an upperclassman.

"Do you need something?" Shirogane asked. "This isn't really a place for lowerclassmen to be hanging around."

"Um, well."

The energetic girl rubbed the back of her head, looking a bit embarrassed. "Actually, I'm a new student who enrolled yesterday, Ichinose Honami."

"We received 100,000 points for living expenses, and while I know everyone needs to buy daily necessities right after enrollment..."

"I just feel uneasy about it, so I came to see how the upperclassmen are doing."

"I don't think the school is going to keep giving us 100,000 points as a monthly allowance forever."

In other words, she had identified that there was something wrong with this school and had come out to investigate.

She was checking on the situation of the older students.

She wasn't the type of student to accept the school's gift with peace of mind and without a shred of worry.

"Which class are you in for the first year?" Shirogane continued to ask.

"Class B of the first year," Ichinose Honami replied. "Um, senpai, what is the meaning of the small blackboard you're looking at?"

As she said this, she revealed a look of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

ps: Thanks to all the brothers for the data. I won't have perfect attendance this month, so you don't need to send me any blades; give them to your favorite authors instead. Sob sob.
