In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

[Teaches history, but rarely asks questions, ends class exactly on time, and doesn't bother managing the students' behavior during lessons, etc.—]

Classmate Shiina seems to have provided a lot of information.

However, this statement is still a bit problematic; it feels more like Classmate Shiina sent it while in the presence of Classmate Kushida.

Because regarding the attitude of Teacher Chabashira in class and such, the teacher of their own class actually does the same thing, and both of them know the reason why: because the school is...

Therefore, the teachers do not interfere too much with the students.

They simply let the students lose points to observe their self-discipline.

The fact that she could send this message right in front of Classmate Kushida shows that their relationship is already quite good.

That is a bit terrifying.

However, Classmate Shiina does not seem like the type who is easily conquered. Shirogane recalled the evaluation of Classmate Shiina given by the Narration System back when Classmate Sakayanagi was "raising" Classmate Kamuro.

Classmate Shiina wants a true friend.

Just a true friend, so it must not be that kind of ordinary acquaintance, but an existence that can understand her heart.

Then, can this Classmate Kushida be that person?

Because when Shirogane was in the elevator at the beginning, he saw Classmate Kushida seemingly feigning concern for Classmate Horikita, appearing as if she wanted to get on better terms with Classmate Horikita.

And someone who can be considered a soulmate probably doesn't have the energy to deal with that many friends.

However, at the thought of Classmate Kushida, Shirogane remembered that Classmate Ichinose who had mistaken him for a senior.

With this in mind, Classmate Shirogane arrived at the cafeteria on the first floor, but after waiting for quite a long time, he did not see Classmate Ichinose from Class B, who possessed the same strong affinity as Classmate Kushida.

Consequently, during the afternoon class, Classmate Shirogane opened his draft notebook in advance and wrote the four characters "Chabashira Sae," waiting to see them once the Narration System came online.

And probably after the second period ended, Shirogane felt a voice echo in his mind.

[I was asked to study calculus today; it's clearly content for university, yet I was forced to learn it.]

"How old are you?" Shirogane wrote in his draft notebook.

[I... uh, I can't say that. I cannot involve too much information from my side.]

But the narrator seemed to be retreating a bit.

"Then how much do you know about Chabashira Sae?"

Shirogane only knew the basic information, and from when Classmate Ryuen was bullying the seniors, he learned from them that there was an example of a lower-class comeback success story right here in the school.

The student of the then-Class D, Chabashira, saw her class rise from Class D to Class B, and now Chabashira has returned to the school to become the teacher of Class D.

It counts as a fairly positive motivational example.

But the Teacher Chabashira he met today gave Shirogane a strange feeling.

[Chabashira Sae, homeroom teacher of Class 1-D, was once a student of Class D herself. She and the homeroom teacher of Class B, Hoshinomiya, were classmates. Both were representative figures in their class. Eventually, their class was promoted to Class B, but they failed to graduate from Class A. Both of them used their test scores to get into decent universities, but Chabashira ultimately regretted not reaching Class A, so she returned to Ikusei High School to teach. Hoshinomiya discovered Chabashira's move, so she gave up a job she was about to land and also chose to return to the school.]

"..."

This relationship seems a bit complicated.

But what can be confirmed is that Teacher Chabashira is actually a fanatical supporter of reaching Class A.

She used to be in Class D, and Class D failed to graduate as Class A, so she harbors regret in her heart. Now that she is the homeroom teacher of Class D, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that she has pinned her own unfulfilled wish onto the current class.

Especially...

This Class D happens to have gathered two big boss geniuses at this time. Therefore, with such SSR-level resources, perhaps the unfulfilled wish they couldn't complete could manifest in this class.

Of course, guessing like this directly is a bit exaggerated.

However, Shirogane felt his guess had an 80% chance of being correct.

Because.

In the past half-month, Classmate Shirogane had not interacted with many students, nor did he know many people, and not many people knew him.

Yet a teacher from another class could call him by his name; this is very strange.

So, for her to know him, she must have been paying attention to the class rivalry. Although Classmate Ryuen is consolidating Class C, he himself became famous for reporting the shopping district incident.

So, it can be said that Class D has problems from the students to the teachers.

And now.

The problematic teacher had finished the second period.

"Today's class ends here. Do the exercises after class yourselves." Teacher Chabashira said this, then suddenly walked down from the podium. "Horikita Suzune, come with me for a moment. You've been studying for 10 hours every day since you enrolled, right?"

"..."

In an instant, after Teacher Chabashira said this, the eyes of the students in the class turned toward one direction in confusion.

ps: First update!

Chapter 034: Horikita Suzune, You Have Been Chosen!

The students of Class D began to look in one direction.

Sitting in that direction was a girl.

Black hair.

A beautiful girl with very lovely black hair.

Her entire being radiated an indifferent aura that seemed to say, "Don't talk to me."

She looked and acted aloof, but she was a genuine academic high-achiever in the class who studied diligently.

During regular class hours, even students like Hirata and Kushida couldn't help but touch their phones, but she never did; she studied meticulously through every single lesson.

At the same time, although everyone had been in contact for half a month, she still appeared very unsociable. It seemed only Kushida was willing to spend time with her, yet her attitude toward Kushida also seemed exceptionally cold.

This caused everyone who liked Kushida to view her as someone difficult to get along with.

And yet.

Now, Teacher Chabashira was saying... Horikita studied for 10 hours every day? 10 hours?

Huh?

Is she even human? What kind of super academic genius is that?

"..." Creak.

Called by name, Horikita Suzune stood up without resistance, set down her pen, and began to follow in Teacher Chabashira's footsteps. As for how her classmates viewed her, she didn't care.

Or rather, even if the teacher hadn't called for her, she had things she wanted to consult about.

Specifically, why she had been assigned to Class D. She had already discovered that the students in this class seemed to have extremely low self-discipline, and the quality of some students was even lower than those she had encountered in middle school.

Although she didn't know much yet, she felt as if she had been placed in the wrong spot.

Moreover, the teacher's attitude toward this class was also strange. Everyone was exceptionally lax, yet the teacher seemed to turn a blind eye to it all. She felt these things required an explanation.

Thus.

Under the probing gazes of the entire class, the cold, black-haired girl stood up and followed behind Chabashira Sae.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but it felt like the two of them, one older and one younger, were somewhat similar.

The homeroom teacher walked in front with Horikita Suzune following behind, and Teacher Chabashira soon arrived at their destination: the rooftop.

Throughout the walk, Chabashira didn't speak, but upon reaching the rooftop, she took out a lady's cigarette and lit it.

"..." Horikita.

Teacher Chabashira didn't speak, but Horikita wouldn't remain silent forever.

She had doubts, things she wanted to ask.

And since Horikita was still just a student, she couldn't hold back her impatience. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the teacher's words.

"Haa—"

Chabashira took a light drag of her cigarette, exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, and then said.

"Horikita, get ready."

Hmm.

Get ready for what? Was she finally fed up with the students' laziness and preparing to have her assist in making everyone take class seriously?

Horikita Suzune frowned.

Then she heard.

"Get ready, you're dropping out," Chabashira Sae said.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and then Horikita's emotions seemed to be pushed to a breaking point.

Because.

What was this homeroom teacher saying? Hadn't she just said in the classroom that she studied 10 hours a day? Logically, shouldn't she be praising her diligence?

Horikita felt she was the most diligent student in the class, and also the most self-disciplined.

She had even thought that perhaps Teacher Chabashira had noticed the students playing with their phones during class and wanted her to encourage the surrounding students to be more disciplined.

After all, coming to a place like this with free tuition and living expenses meant that if one didn't study seriously, they were wasting the school's resources.

These were all things Horikita could conceive of.

As a result, what was the response she received?

Horikita, get ready, you're dropping out.

Drop out now, drop out immediately!

Unless Horikita was hallucinating, her homeroom teacher had truly uttered such cruel words.

"..."

Horikita Suzune was momentarily left questioning reality.

But it was still possible, right? It was still possible she had misheard just now.

"Horikita, you didn't mishear. I am suggesting that you drop out," Chabashira said, as if she had seen right through Horikita's thoughts.

Horikita Suzune clenched her hands tightly, her left fingers gripping her right hand firmly.

"What is the reason?"

Horikita forced herself to remain calm. "I don't believe my performance over the past half-month has been so poor that it warrants expulsion."

"There are plenty of other students in the class who have performed worse than I have," Horikita said.

"Heh, is this the only understanding you've gained from your experiences and observations at this school over the past half-month?" Teacher Chabashira seemed to mock her. "And do you really want to compare yourself to those students in your class?"

"If that is the case, then my suggestion stands: you should drop out."

"You are the younger sister of the Student Council President, Horikita Manabu, aren't you? Your performance is, in fact, bringing shame upon your brother," Teacher Chabashira said coldly. "Your brother is regarded as the most outstanding Student Council President in the history of Ikusei High School. But you—you are just holding him back."

With every word from Teacher Chabashira, Horikita Suzune's complexion seemed to grow a shade paler.

Clearly, her attack was proving highly effective.

As a homeroom teacher, she had access to the students' files and was also required to update evaluations for each student on a regular basis.

That was when she discovered Horikita Suzune's situation; from her appearance to her surname, and then to her previous middle school, everything matched that of the current Student Council President, Horikita Manabu.

Thus, it was confirmed that the two were siblings.

So, how would Horikita handle this move?

If it were merely having her sibling relationship with her brother exposed, Horikita might not have been dealt such a critical blow, as she had already been targeted this way by Classmate Shirogane of Class C on the very first day of school.

But now.

Teacher Chabashira had switched to a different tactic.

That was.

"I am... bringing shame upon my brother." Horikita's composure seemed to have become significantly more fragile.

"..." Teacher Chabashira.
