"Eh?"

"!"

However, Sakura recoiled quickly, as if she had been startled.

She seemed to be quite timid and shy.

Consequently, Classmate Shirogane withdrew his gaze.

He had originally agreed with the Narration System's claim that students from Class D were the easiest to subdue. Having learned the school's rules, he knew that Class D was the lowest-ranked class and, simultaneously, the class that might have the lowest living expenses starting next month.

In other words, they had no money, and in a state of poverty, people were easily tempted.

However.

Soon, as he listened, he realized something was wrong.

Because.

Why was the Narration System only listing their weaknesses and secrets? It suggested that by grasping these secrets—including those of Horikita, whom he could seemingly manipulate by making an issue of the sibling relationship between her and her brother—he could control them.

So, what kind of people had gathered in Class D, exactly?

Thinking this, he pondered.

[Class 1-D, Matsushita Chiaki. She seems to have hidden her true abilities during the interviews and written exams, ultimately resulting in her placement in Class D. Difficulty to subdue: Medium.]

[Class 1-D, Karuizawa, the leader of the gyaru group in Class D. She has a secret; once known, the difficulty to subdue her is almost zero. Before it is known, the difficulty is extreme.]

"..."

"Why are they all girls? Are there no boys?" Classmate Shirogane finally couldn't help but ask.

He had felt for a while that this Narration System was a bit problematic, as it seemed to be constantly coaxing him to approach Classmate Sakayanagi.

And now, all the recommendations were girls as well.

[As for boys, I do not recommend it. The boys in this school are quite dangerous.]

The Narration System provided a response quickly.

[For example, Ryuen from Class 1-C. The difficulty to subdue him is high. However, once subdued, he will become a great bro who will provide maximum assistance when you are on the verge of expulsion.]

"..."

Isn't that a fairly reliable character?

[Class 1-D, Koenji Rokusuke, heir to the Koenji Conglomerate. A genius with maxed-out stats and talents in every aspect. The difficulty to subdue him is extremely, extremely high, because he feels he has no common language with ordinary people. He views everyone else as mortals, while he is a genius. If you want to attract his attention, you must become a genius yourself.]

Oh.

This was the first time Classmate Shirogane had heard such a description of a genius.

So.

Why would such a person be in Class D? And if he is both the heir to a conglomerate and a genius, he should have gone to Shuchiin Academy. So why come here to compete with ordinary people?

"Since Class D has so many strange people, are there any others?" Shirogane wrote in his small notebook.

The Narration System's reply came quickly.

[Class 1-D, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. A super genius. The difficulty to subdue him is impossible, because he has no emotions.]

"..."

So.

What exactly is going on with Class D?

ps: Today's update is here. You know what I'm going to say; it's time to pay the tribute, ying ying ying.

Promoting a friend's book.

Synopsis: After transmigrating to Nagazora City in the Honkai World and realizing it was early 2014, the eve of the Third Honkai Impact, Lin Yu chose his path.

As long as I don't grind myself to death, I will grind until I die.

Damn you, Honkai, today I am going to grind you to death!

The second day after transmigrating to the Honkai World.

System: [Host, here we have budding beauties like Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, as well as mature, charming women like Himeko and Cocolia—]

Shut up, don't disturb my state of mind.

Although I ground the Herrscher of Thunder into defeat, it's not enough. Keep grinding.

The fortieth day after transmigrating to the Honkai World.

Today I ground Chiyou into defeat, but it was all thanks to a finishing blow. Still not enough, keep grinding.

The eighty-fifth day after transmigrating to the Honkai World.

Today I bisected Kevin, but this is still not enough. Keep grinding.

The one hundred and fifteenth day after transmigrating to the Honkai World.

Although Otto has been executed, he died before he had the chance to become a pseudo-god. Keep grinding.

On the two hundred and thirty-sixth day since transmigrating to the Honkai World, Lin Yu, who had been grinding for eight months, stared at the Cocoon of Finality within the Imaginary Space, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly.

"Yo, Cocoon, are you ready?"

"Now, I'm coming to 'embrace' you!"

Chapter 031: Teacher Chabashira, what is your take?

Judging from the information already gathered, there is a gap in the overall strength of the students across the four classes, A, B, C, and D, with Class A being the best. Even if they knew nothing about the school, students in Class B had already begun investigating the situation.

However, only in Class D had no students particularly stood out to investigate the school's situation thus far.

Logically speaking, Class A is the class with the strongest overall strength, while Class D is the worst.

So, this kind of performance is quite reasonable.

As it turns out.

The information obtained from the Narration System now reveals that many students in Class D harbor secrets... and furthermore, there are two who have been dubbed geniuses.

With these people actually huddled together in Class D, is this Class D really just a Class D?

Consequently, that night, when Ryuen returned to his dormitory, he discovered he had received a message.

[I have discovered that there are two students in Class D with the reputation of geniuses; their overall strength might even be stronger than the average student in Class A. To avoid unnecessary complications, I suggest our class must secure our current points as soon as possible.]

This was a message sent by Shirogane Miyuki.

"..." Ryuen.

"..." Ryuen.

Nag, nag, nag, it's always nag, nag, nag.

However, it was almost finished anyway.

Ever since Ryuen brought Albert into the fold, he had begun the process of consolidating the students in his class. Not obedient? Fight it out, then follow up with psychological warfare and manipulation.

So now, of the 40 students in the class, excluding Shirogane and Shiina, even Ibuki, who was often defiant, was willing to follow his instructions.

However, this kind of violent behavior could only suppress them temporarily, so there were certainly still some students who were dissatisfied with him, though they likely wouldn't dare to show it—and even if they did, it would probably only be when he suffered a setback.

So, it was basically under control.

Thinking this, Ryuen gripped his phone and sent a message to the contact labeled "Sakagami Kazuma."

It was an inquiry.

[This is Ryuen. The class integration is complete. How many of our class's 1,000 evaluation points are left now?]

Then, feeling he hadn't phrased it clearly enough, he sent a follow-up message.

[Is there still 800 points left?]

Is there still 800 points left?

A week had passed in the class since the day Classmate Shirogane had urged Classmate Ryuen.

So, they had already stayed in this school for two full weeks.

On the morning of the third week, when Classmate Shirogane arrived at the classroom, he noticed he had received a message on his phone.

It was from Ryuen.

[I consulted Sakagami yesterday; our class still has 702 points left. According to the current situation, we still have to maintain this for 2 weeks, and we can basically stabilize at around 680.]

Hmm...

This point total looks pretty good.

Or rather, it is really quite good.

To have nearly seven hundred points left out of 1,000—this is likely an unprecedented record for Class C.

Of course.

Right now it is 702 points, which is equivalent to having 298 points deducted, and that is only after 2 weeks. Can you really be sure that only 22 points will be deducted in the next 2 weeks?

Is that too arrogant?

But this might not be a pipe dream.

Because Ryuen's class is different from ordinary classes. According to the seniors, the behavior code examination in the first month only tests whether one is a qualified student, even if they don't know the true nature of this school.

Things like not being late or leaving early, not damaging public property, and not littering.

Maintaining student decorum during class, not reading novels during class, not playing with phones during class, and so on...

So, if one can achieve self-discipline, these points will not be deducted.

It's just that ordinary people cannot achieve complete self-discipline, but there is one type of person who can.

That is those controlled by absolute power.

There is only one reason why Ryuen consolidated the class: if everyone cannot be self-disciplined and cannot hold onto their points, then force everyone to be passively disciplined.

Therefore, upon entering the classroom, the students' mobile phones were confiscated.

Without phones or any other distractions to carry, they had no choice but to behave during class; even if they couldn't understand the material, they were forced to sit through it.

And so, the students arrived at the classroom one after another. With expressions of utter despair, they placed their phones into the bags hanging from the desks in the front row.

Meanwhile, the homeroom teachers of the four classes arrived at the staff office.

This was a classroom that belonged exclusively to the homeroom teachers of the four classes. Although the desk arrangements were mostly similar.

However, there was still a principle of Class A priority when it came to seating, and the desk for the Class D homeroom teacher was in a rather poor spot, located right next to the trash can.

Clearly, preferential treatment existed among the teachers as well.

The teachers' benefits were tied to their classes; when a teacher was in charge of Class A, not only their benefits but even their salary in private points were the best, whereas for a Class D teacher, all benefits were the worst.

For instance, Mashima, the teacher for Class A, received a monthly base salary of 800,000 private points.

As for Hoshinomiya Chie, the teacher for Class B, she received 600,000 private points.

But by the time it reached Class C, it was down to only 300,000 points.

And for Class D, it was 250,000 points.

The differences appeared quite significant, but as long as the classes led by the teachers climbed the ranks, their respective benefits would also change accordingly.

"Come to think of it, the first month of enrollment for every new batch of students is always the time with the most potential for the class rankings to shift."

Hoshinomiya Chie, the homeroom teacher for Class B, suddenly remarked after arriving at the office.

She was a woman with a beautiful appearance, slightly fluffy hair, and an overall soft demeanor. She was quite popular among the men.

As teachers, they all knew that the four classes were only equal at the very beginning, with every class starting with 1,000 points.

And as long as they could hold on for a month, there would be a chance to overtake the others.

"It's just a pity."

"In previous years, no class has ever succeeded in overtaking the others," said Mashima, the homeroom teacher for Class A, who was busy organizing his lesson plans.
