In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

"..."

This was clearly an abnormal action.

ps: First update.

Chapter 026: Classmate Sakayanagi, if I were to snatch Classmate Kamuro away, would you cry?

That girl's behavior was not normal.

"What is that girl's name?" Shirogane said to Sakayanagi.

Although Sakayanagi Arisu was sitting still, her gaze had not left the students of her class, so she surely knew who Classmate Shirogane was referring to.

"It seems you haven't contacted her privately over the past two days." Sakayanagi appeared somewhat surprised. "After all, she is the very girl you mentioned when you reported the incident to the Student Council."

"Two days ago, members of the Student Council came to Class A to distribute rewards to her for assisting in reporting the rule-breaking clerk at the Shopping District," Sakayanagi said.

"Oh." Shirogane nodded. "I received this reward too; it's an anonymous point card containing 30,000 points. The point card can be used as a top-up card, and points can also be stored temporarily."

"You don't need to be so detailed in trying to probe me," Sakayanagi said, however. "The reward Classmate Kamuro received was identical to yours—a point card. Yet, she didn't accept the reward at the time. She even claimed she had never been to the Electronics Store."

"High moral character?" Shirogane knew that some people did good deeds without seeking rewards.

But in situations where one should be praised, Shirogane felt they ought to be praised.

"Indeed, some students in the class thought that either the Student Council had made a mistake, or it was a display of Classmate Kamuro's high moral character." Sakayanagi Arisu, however, revealed a subtle smile. "I was only suspicious before, but just now, she seemed to turn around the moment she saw us."

"I originally thought she didn't want to get close to me, but I believe she wanted to see you even less."

"That is why she turned and left immediately," Sakayanagi said.

Classmate Sakayanagi was smiling as she said this.

The smile looked very sweet.

But Shirogane, who already understood her to some extent, confirmed that this was a sign that Sakayanagi had gained something.

It was likely that Sakayanagi had not only envisioned capturing Classmate Kamuro to become her personal assistant, but had also just confirmed how to subdue (exploit for free) this classmate.

However, what key point had Sakayanagi grasped just now that gave her the confidence to subdue Classmate Kamuro immediately?

Shirogane began to think.

He recalled Sakayanagi's words.

Classmate Kamuro had turned and left upon seeing him; she did not want to see him.

The key point was him.

But he hadn't known the other party at all before Sakayanagi gave him her name, so why would she specifically avoid him? And they had only met twice at the Shopping District.

Wait.

Shirogane realized he seemed to have grasped something.

Sakayanagi said that Classmate Kamuro could have received the reward and honor but refused them all, and even denied that she participated in the report... no, she denied that she had gone to the Electronics Store.

And what did she do in the Electronics Store?

She discovered the clerk was secretly filming, so she took the SD card from the camera.

She only lost it after walking out of the shop, and then Shirogane picked it up, which led to those subsequent events.

"..."

Shirogane was speechless.

It was no wonder Classmate Sakayanagi felt happy; she had grasped a handle on Classmate Kamuro, and using this handle, she could exploit her for free.

Because.

Classmate Kamuro Masumi of Class 1-A had refused the school's reward and even denied taking the SD card, perhaps not for any other reason, but for a very straightforward one.

That was.

She hadn't discovered the clerk's misconduct and intended to keep the evidence; rather, she... had actually intended to steal the SD card in the first place.

In other words, she was actually stealing something while in the Electronics Store.

So, she wanted to prevent her theft from being exposed.

And once she accepted the school's reward, it would confirm her act of theft.

That was why she refused.

And having understood the rules of this school, one could clearly see that theft was an act that caused a significant deduction in points.

Therefore, Classmate Kamuro was a student of Class 1-A, and it was likely that this flaw had not yet been discovered by the school.

On the contrary.

If this flaw were discovered by the school, Classmate Kamuro Masumi's evaluation would drop significantly, and it might even affect Class A, causing the class to lose points.

"..."

No wonder the Narrator System said Classmate Kamuro was easy to conquer; by holding onto the handle of her theft, one could indeed control her.

As long as she didn't want to be expelled, Classmate Kamuro would have no choice but to be obedient.

It was clear that Sakayanagi Arisu had already seized this leverage over Kamuro Masumi.

And she intended to keep Kamuro Masumi in line.

"Classmate Sakayanagi," Classmate Shirogane said. "If—and I mean if—I wanted to take Kamuro Masumi away, what would you do?"

"Then I suppose I would cry," Sakayanagi Arisu replied without a moment's hesitation.

"..."

Uh.

So, is she planning to cry for him to see?

You're clearly a big boss, yet you're actually resorting to a tactic like this?

Do you have any idea how foul that is?

Classmate Shirogane felt things getting tricky in an instant.

Feeling that things were getting tricky, Classmate Shirogane chose to leave.

Just after Shirogane left, two students from Class A walked toward the shade where Sakayanagi was sitting.

They were two boys; one was tall and sturdy, while the other looked slightly thin.

The tall boy was bald, and his name was Katsuragi, while the thin boy was a follower who stuck around because he admired Katsuragi, and his name was Totsuka Yahiko.

Noticing the situation, some of the Class A students who had previously dispersed began to gather again, heading in the direction of Sakayanagi.

Katsuragi clearly noticed the situation with those students.

"I mean no harm," Katsuragi said quickly. "I was just curious about the student who was talking to you earlier. That was a student from Class C of the first year, right?"

PS: Today's update is here.

You all know what I'm going to say, right? Please give me data, please give me data, please give me data. Please add this to your bookshelves, please add this to your bookshelves.

Promoting a big shot's book.

Synopsis:

As everyone knows, Gensokyo is a place of simple folk and abundant talent, the most healing and peaceful land.

After Lin Yan was sent there, he lived a comfortable, retirement-like life by running a shop with the help of his system.

It wasn't until one day when this thing suddenly blurted out—Paradise Project initiated—and provided a bunch of strange abilities, that he immediately realized the severity of the problem.

"I swear on the integrity of Gensokyo, I absolutely did not abuse my abilities to do anything."

"As for why the black-and-white thief frequently crawls out of the shop, why the head maid changes her stockings so often, why strange noises come from a certain library late at night, why a famous reporter was found imprisoned, or why terrifying applause began to circulate in the bamboo forest..."

"These things absolutely have nothing to do with me, at least there are no eyewitnesses who saw these things with their own eyes!"

"No one is more law-abiding than I am, do not believe those strange rumors."

Reimu Hakurei: The above is the criminal's full confession. He just stated the criminal content himself, so you may proceed with the execution.

[This book is a lighthearted, silly, daily life story. No angst, no tragedy, please enjoy with peace of mind.]

Chapter 027 Kamuro Masumi: Why are all these annoying people gathering together!

This year's first-year Class A is a bit different. In previous years, first-year Class A had only one voice; in order to maintain their ranking, students would quickly find and obey the leader.

But Class A is different now.

It has split into two factions.

One is the Sakayanagi Faction. The insight and initiative that Classmate Sakayanagi displayed after enrollment were astonishing.

She also brought the class information regarding the nature of this school and the fact that there would be a behavioral assessment in the first month of enrollment.

This is something other classes, and even other grade levels, could not achieve.

It was astonishing. Thus, many people followed Sakayanagi Arisu, who possessed such vision and insight.

The other faction is also related to the Sakayanagi Faction. It is based on the premise of having mastered information about this school, believing that since their class had obtained the information in advance, they should widen the gap with other classes during the first month.

And once the gap is widened, what needs to be done is to maintain the status quo.

So-called maintenance means holding onto the current advantage, so they felt it would be better to nominate Classmate Katsuragi, who is good at maintaining stability.

Thus, two factions appeared in the class. And Classmate Katsuragi is the leader of the Katsuragi Faction.

"I mean no harm," Katsuragi said. "I was just curious about the student who was talking to you earlier. That was a student from Class C of the first year, right?"

Katsuragi's gaze looked in the direction where Classmate Shirogane had left, but there was no sign of Classmate Shirogane there now. Clearly, he had seen him earlier. He just hadn't walked over at that time, only approaching after the conversation between Shirogane and Sakayanagi had ended.

"That person is indeed a student from Class C. I fear that in a month's time, he will become a great enemy for our class," Classmate Sakayanagi said calmly.

"A great enemy?" Classmate Katsuragi was deep in thought.

After confirming that the information Sakayanagi obtained was correct, he also began to arrange for students to collect information on other classes.

The result was that, just like previous intelligence, the strength of Class A and Class B was close, though Class A had a slight edge. Therefore, they had to be wary of Class B.

However, Class B clearly had not yet obtained the true intelligence regarding this school, so the entire class remained in a relatively lax state.

According to the information gathered, it was highly likely that the students of the four classes, A, B, C, and D, were ranked based on a comprehensive evaluation standard, with the top ranks assigned to classes A and B, while classes C and D were the dregs that couldn't even make it into A or B, especially Class D, which was the product of further screening.

So, was there any need to be wary of such classes?

Naturally, although Katsuragi possessed the pride of a student from Class A, he also had a steady personality, so he had arranged for students to investigate the situation in classes C and D.

Then, in the last few days, news had been received about a fight involving a student from Class C.

Even if Sakayanagi placed importance on that student from Class C just now, she had likely misjudged them.

One had to remember that the first month was the Behavioral Standards Exam, so the fighting in Class C had already cost the class an unknown number of points.

If that student truly had ability, they should have stopped it.

Therefore, they were likely nothing to fear.

Thinking this, Katsuragi shook his head. "Classmate Sakayanagi, I think we still need to have a talk."

"Oh? Are you saying you want us to submit to you?" Sakayanagi Arisu wore a smile, but it was now a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Your way of thinking is too extreme. I believe our class already holds the advantage. Therefore, we should take the steady path," Katsuragi said. "So, if you intend to do anything radical—"

"That has nothing to do with you, Katsuragi!"

At that moment, the students of the Sakayanagi Faction had arrived. The one who spoke was a tall, handsome guy with blonde hair.

He was one of the first students to support Sakayanagi. He could be considered her die-hard fan.

His name was Hashimoto Masayoshi, a name with quite a distinct flavor.

"Hashimoto—"

Katsuragi shook his head, then turned and left.

Without a track record, it was impossible to convince others, yet he was also grateful for what Sakayanagi had done, as it gave them the opportunity to minimize the loss of a large number of points during this first month.
