In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

With so many friends, Classmate Kushida should have plenty of people to walk to school with in the morning.

But she hasn't changed.

Ever since Classmate Shirogane first enrolled, he saw them in the elevator, and over the past two days, he continued to see them acting together—or more accurately, Classmate Kushida taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Classmate Horikita.

She acts very earnest.

It's like she's a total sycophant.

It's as if she wants to make a genuine friend, just like Classmate Shiina, so even though her efforts toward Classmate Horikita seem futile, she still hopes to bridge the distance between them.

And now, it seems Classmate Kushida has already fulfilled her KPI.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here together with Classmate Horikita.

Her mood seems quite good, too. Perhaps she thinks Classmate Horikita has finally accepted her as a friend.

"Classmate Shiina, Classmate Shirogane, hello there--" Classmate Kushida raises her hand gently, her aura warm and approachable, making one feel as if they are basking in a spring breeze.

Although Classmate Kushida's beauty is on par with Classmate Shiina's, at this moment, Classmate Kushida's charm is even more prominent.

"..."

Classmate Horikita says nothing, simply walking toward Classmate Shirogane and Classmate Shiina.

"Classmate Horikita, this is Classmate Shiina from my class. I've entrusted her to help gather information on Class A," Classmate Shirogane says. "And I've also prepared the intelligence on Class B."

As he says this, Classmate Shirogane produces two stacks of documents.

"..." Classmate Kushida.

Eh?

Classmate Horikita hasn't responded yet, but Classmate Kushida is taken aback.

Last night, Classmate Shiina invited her to her dormitory and told her she was collecting information on students from other classes. However, because she wasn't good at socializing with students from other classes, she couldn't complete the data and hoped for her help.

Although Classmate Kushida felt it was a bit troublesome at the time, she didn't want to lose Classmate Shiina as a friend, so she agreed.

Thus, going against her conscience, she helped Classmate Shiina fill in the information on the students in Class Ichinose.

And now, Classmate Shirogane has also asked her to help complete the information on the students in Class A.

These were requests from both of them. Because of her social network, she knows that Class C is currently under the iron-fisted rule of Classmate Ryuen, so perhaps these two were tasked with this troublesome work by him.

So, with the intention of doing a good deed to help her friends, Classmate Kushida provided her assistance.

But now, they are saying this information is being used to trade with Classmate Horikita?

And.

Listen to the conversation between these two.

It's clear that she did the work for them, yet they are claiming they did it themselves? And now they are using it as a bargaining chip to trade with Classmate Horikita?

"..."

Classmate Kushida seems somewhat surprised, but she maintains her composure, keeping a polite and pleasant expression.

"I understand." Classmate Horikita nods.

Classmate Shirogane had told her before that if she couldn't do something, she needed to rely on others, and he suggested she seek help from Classmate Kushida.

She had ultimately chosen to ask Classmate Kushida for help, which to Suzune felt like an admission of her own incompetence.

But now that Classmate Shirogane himself is seeking help from other classmates, it seems this is the correct approach. Although she doesn't want to admit her own inadequacy, perhaps seeking timely help is the right strategy to help those in need.

"For this trade with you, I also sought help from Classmate Kushida," Classmate Horikita says to Classmate Kushida.

"Well, if I can be of help to Classmate Horikita--" Classmate Kushida waves her hands, appearing humble.

However, her inner thoughts might be quite the opposite.

Even though it was just a simple exchange, she has already understood that Classmate Shirogane from Class C and Classmate Horikita seem to have reached some kind of deal.

The two... seem to be swapping information on three different classes.

Classmate Shiina is responsible for Class B, Classmate Shirogane is responsible for Class A, and Classmate Horikita is responsible for her own class, Class D.

"..."

But.

Relying on Classmate Horikita's social skills, collecting intelligence on the students in her class is nearly impossible.

Therefore.

Classmate Horikita asked her for help this noon, and she gave up her lunch break to assist.

And now the truth is out.

Are all three of these groups making her do all the work?

Huh?

Classmate Kushida begins to doubt reality.

"Then, let's exchange the information."

Classmate Shirogane handed the documents in his hand to Classmate Horikita.

Classmate Horikita also handed the organized student information of Class 1-D over to Classmate Shirogane.

The documents contained the students' names, classes, genders, photos, and brief evaluations.

These evaluations came from Classmate Kushida.

Classmate Shirogane opened the information on Classmate Horikita first.

Name: Horikita Suzune

Class: Class 1-D

Student ID: SD1345465X

Phone Number: 1455465eX

Personal Information: Strong academic and physical abilities; written test scores never below 90. Studies 10 hours a day. Social skills are slightly lacking.

Clearly, this document was filled out by Classmate Kushida; otherwise, she wouldn't have used the phrasing "slightly lacking" for social skills. After all, the evaluation for Classmate Horikita could have easily been "almost zero social skills."

However, Classmate Shirogane did not keep his gaze on Classmate Horikita for long.

Previously, when he saw Classmate Sakayanagi keeping Classmate Kamuro, the Narration System had provided information on several students in Class 1-D.

Of course, the descriptions at the time were either "boss" or "has a secret."

Classmate Kushida had strong social skills; she not only helped Classmate Shirogane and Classmate Shiina complete the student information lists for Class A and Class B, but she also added some impressions and evaluations of these individuals.

Although she didn't write down anyone's secrets, she provided a fairly objective assessment of each student's basic academic ability, physical fitness, social skills, and even their strengths and weaknesses.

For example, the evaluation Kushida gave for Classmate Kamuro Masumi of Class A was that her physical fitness was outstanding—possibly the best among all the girls in the first year—and that she excelled in track and field and had joined the Art Club.

It was just that her written test scores might not be very good; he had accidentally seen her books, which contained incorrect annotations.

Since there were no conflicts of interest, the authenticity of the information he received was highly reliable.

And now.

The data for Class 1-D was right before his eyes.

ps: You all know what I want to say about today's update.

ps: Monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, blades, ying ying ying ying.

Chapter 043: Classmate Kushida is about to explode!

Classmate Shirogane already knew about several special individuals in Class 1-D beforehand.

And now, the information for these students was all laid out.

However, the data differed somewhat from what he had expected to see.

For instance.

Karuizawa Kei: Academic and physical abilities are average, but she has formed a group of "gyaru" with several other girls in the class and holds quite a bit of prestige, though her relationship with the boys is terrible.

Or.

Sakura Airi: Her presence in the class is not very high, her personality is relatively introverted, her academic ability is slightly below average, and her physical fitness is very poor. She likes to be alone and enjoys photography. She bought a camera.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka: Academic and physical abilities seem average, and his presence is not very high, but he ranks fifth in the grade on the handsome guy list compiled by the girls.

"..."

Classmate Kushida seemed to be operating under the philosophy of not offending anyone when describing and evaluating people.

Moreover, the intelligence provided differed from what was on the Narration System; she didn't reveal any more private matters.

Things like secrets were completely absent.

This was understandable, after all, this was meant to be organized into a formal document. Although the students of Class 1-D didn't know yet that they would be competing against other classes, she wouldn't provide too much damaging information. After all, who knew who might end up seeing this file?

However.

Classmate Shirogane flipped to a page that was different.

Koenji Rokusuke: Both physical and academic abilities are formidable; his swimming speed in PE class exceeded Sudo's. However, he is extremely self-centered and seems to have no regard for money, spending all his points in 10 days to queue up for unappetizing free meals, though occasionally he can be seen being treated to meals by upperclassmen.

This point was similar to the intelligence provided by the Narration System.

Koenji Rokusuke's own strength was astonishing. As for him being treated to meals by upperclassmen, it was likely related to his background; surely someone would want to get close to an heir of such a conglomerate.

But.

Did this Classmate Koenji offend Classmate Kushida somewhere?

The reason for this thought was simple: the word count for this individual evaluation was quite high. While it appeared to be an objective description, did it also contain a hint of intentionally leaking information about Koenji?

As he continued to look, Shirogane still found that there were some excellent students in this class.

Aside from Classmate Horikita's academic prowess, Class 1-D also had Classmate Yukimura Teruhiko, Classmate Koenji, Classmate Kushida, and Classmate Hirata Yosuke, all of whom had quite good written test scores.

Among them, a student named Wang Meiyu had above-average grades in other subjects but could score perfectly in English.

And among these students, Classmate Hirata seemed to have subtly developed into the class representative for Class 1-D, and Hirata himself was also very excellent, with both his written tests and athletic performance exceeding that of the average student.

He was also one of the few members in Class 1-D who had joined a club.

A week ago, he had informed the students during homeroom that joining a club would provide an additional portion of living expenses.

Driven by his encouragement, Sudo Ken—a boy in his class whose physical fitness far exceeded that of the average student, as if he had been granted a cheat code—joined the basketball club; it was said that despite only joining for a week, he had already been appointed as a regular player.

It could be said that while a month is neither long nor short, it was enough time for every class to establish its own representatives.

Class A had Sakayanagi and Katsuragi.

Class B had Ichinose.

As for Class C, it relied on the violent rule of Ryuen to maintain its cohesion.

Class D had Hirata Yosuke.

"..."

However, there were also things that puzzled Classmate Shirogane.

From the Narration System, he knew that aside from a bunch of people—including the Classmate Kushida before him—harboring secrets, Class D also had two bosses. One was the unmasked Koenji Rokusuke, but Koenji seemed uninterested in class competition, paying absolutely no attention to the class situation and even spending all his points recklessly.

The other boss was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, but judging from the data he had obtained, this Ayanokoji also seemed to have done nothing at all throughout this month.

Likewise, Classmate Kushida and Horikita had also received the data on Class A and Class B.

Classmate Kushida wore a numb expression and did not bother to flip through them; there was nothing to say about this, as she was the one who had filled out all three sets of data.

"Classmate Kushida." Classmate Shirogane got straight to the point, "Do you think there is anything strange about Ayanokoji?"

"Eh? Ayanokoji?" Classmate Kushida gently raised her left hand and twirled a lock of her hanging hair, "Are you interested in Ayanokoji, Classmate Shirogane?"

"Well, although the girls made a Handsome Guy Ranking List, and Ayanokoji is in fifth place while you are in sixth, I think it's because you often have dark circles under your eyes, Classmate Shirogane. If you rested well and got rid of those dark circles, you would actually be quite handsome. I actually voted for you, Classmate Shirogane," Classmate Kushida said.

As she spoke, she even put on a pitiful and endearing expression.
