A Daughter from the Future Gives Me a Helping Hand in Classroom of the Elite: You're in Classroom of the Elite, and Your Future Daughter Gives You a Helping Hand

So some people wondered whether Classmate Ryuen had lost to Classmate Shirogane.

"There's definitely reason to suspect the school of false advertising."

"But it's not all bad. In fact, the benefits are better than those at most schools."

"After all, no other school can offer a tuition waiver," Shirogane said. "As for living expenses, we earn those through our abilities. But if we can maintain a high evaluation score, then if we're good enough to get decent results in the Special Exams every month, wouldn't our monthly living expenses go up too?"

"If we're getting 70,000 now, then 100,000 or even 200,000 in living expenses isn't out of the question."

"And do other schools offer this kind of opportunity?"

No, they don't!

"Oh!"

The students around them, both boys and girls, turned to look.

"And there's no need to worry about whether we'll actually receive the money. Class 3-A's class evaluation score is over 2,000, which proves the school accepts scores that high."

"200,000 a month comes to 2.4 million a year. What about three years? 7.2 million! Remember, each Private Point has the purchasing power of one yen, so that's 7.2 million yen!" Shirogane said. "By then, we won't just be spending three years shut away here. We'll be able to graduate with a fortune in our pockets."

"Can other schools offer benefits like that?"

"..." Hmph.

Ryuen didn't say anything. He knew Shirogane was dangling a tempting prospect in front of the students.

And the idiots around them were listening intently.

Partly because there were so many idiots in this class, and partly because the prospect was just too tempting.

Chapter 34: You're the Worst Students I've Ever Had!

Shirogane was dangling a tempting prospect in front of the students in his class.

Ryuen didn't object.

There was only one reason: he was starting to get tempted too.

If they could push their class evaluation score above 2,000, then even if they ultimately failed to graduate as Class A, everyone would still get 200,000 in living expenses every month. If he forcibly collected 20 percent, he could walk away with tens of millions to make his way in the world.

Ryuen started getting ahead of himself.

Meanwhile, Shirogane kept dangling that tempting prospect.

Ryuen ruled through violence. Although that worked well at times, he couldn't rely on it forever. If he kept using force, someone would eventually rebel. And in exams where the class was judged as a unit, even one traitor could bring a disaster down on the whole class. One or two acts of espionage could wipe out every advantage the class had painstakingly built up.

So.

If Ryuen was going to play the bad cop, then someone had to play the good cop.

"Besides, look at the situation right now."

"If you graduate as Class A, you can attend any university you want without taking an entrance exam, and your tuition will be free. Do you think you could get into a university under those conditions by taking an exam?"

"So this is an opportunity for our Class C. A chance for all of us to take off."

"Look at our class evaluation score." Shirogane paused, then looked toward Teacher Sakagami, who had been staring blankly a moment earlier. Teacher Sakagami quickly noticed Shirogane's gaze and hurriedly came back to his senses.

Teacher Sakagami had actually been stunned just now. Shirogane had already said everything, so what was left for him to add?

But he did still have something to say.

"The class rankings are fluid. Every month, the classes are assigned their A, B, C, or D rankings according to their class evaluation scores."

"Classes A and B are generally called the Upper Classes, while Classes C and D are the Lower Classes."

"Normally, it's difficult for a Lower Class to climb up. But you're different."

Although Shirogane had just stolen his thunder, Teacher Sakagami was still in a good mood.

He was glad not only to have someone like Ryuen, who could enforce his will through violence, but also someone like Shirogane, who could play the good cop and think clearly.

After all.

Though he thought Ryuen's plan was against the rules, he had to admit it was impressive that it had managed to unite the class. But it had its drawbacks, and Shirogane's promises were now making up for them.

Violence bred rebellion. Some students might betray the class because they were tempted or because they resented Ryuen.

But Shirogane had just inoculated them against that.

Betray the class?

Were they willing to give up their chance to rise through the ranks? Did they want to become enemies of everyone in the class?

Just like that, the risk of betrayal had suddenly become much smaller.

Two weeks ago, Ryuen had asked Teacher Sakagami how many points the class had left. At the time, Teacher Sakagami had told him 705.

But the latest exam results were different.

Over the past two weeks, Ryuen Class hadn't lost any points. In fact, they had gained 30.

It was strange.

Actually, it wasn't.

Back then, Shirogane had reported a Shopping District store employee for secretly taking photos in violation of the rules. The student council had awarded him a Point Card worth 30,000 points. But that had happened during the Behavioral Standards Exam, so violations were punished more severely. Naturally, doing a good deed could also earn them a bonus.

So.

Although the school hadn't announced anything at the time, it had added 50 points to their class evaluation score.

This was the first time in the school's history that a class had gained points in its first month's Behavioral Standards Exam.

The Board Chairman had also sent a message saying that after homeroom, he wanted the four classes' homeroom teachers to meet him in his office.

He clearly wanted to commend them for it.

That was why Teacher Sakagami could barely keep the corners of his mouth from stretching wider than an AK.

Teacher Sakagami now wrote the four classes' evaluation scores after the first month's Behavioral Standards Exam on the board.

First-Year Class A: 924 points

First-Year Class B: 560 points

Class 1-C: 735 points

Class 1-D: 0 points

"As Shirogane said, our class evaluation score is quite good."

"And according to the school's rules, the classes are fluid. They're ranked according to their class evaluation scores."

"Our score of 735 already puts us in Class B."

"When homeroom ends, you can check your Student IDs. You'll see that your class has changed. You'll now belong to First-Year Class B."

"The classroom won't change, but the class sign will."

"As for the class sign..."

Teacher Sakagami smiled. "I brought it with me. You can switch it after class."

"Normally, the faculty would come and change it."

"But I think it'll mean more if you change it yourselves and commemorate this record-breaking achievement," Teacher Sakagami said. "And after school this afternoon, we'll head to the Steak Buffet Restaurant in the Shopping District. My treat."

"The teachers' benefits also improve when your class ranking goes up."

"So let's celebrate," Teacher Sakagami said.

Oh!

So they really were impressive!

And they'd get a free meal tonight—and it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, too.

"Yeah!" the students of Class 1-C shouted excitedly.

The students of Class 1-C really were impressive.

Meanwhile, Teacher Chabashira Sae, homeroom teacher of First-Year Class D, another Lower Class, entered her classroom with a blank expression.

She had already received the class evaluation scores for all four classes.

Chabashira was still dressed in a black business suit, high heels, and black stockings, but she wore a cold expression.

And things in her class were looking rather bleak.

The previous night, she'd suddenly been invited to join the First-Year Class D group chat. It seemed the students had finally gotten word of something, because they'd anxiously started asking questions.

But there was no way she'd let anything slip at that point. More accurately, telling them then wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

The first month's Behavioral Standards Exam was already over. Nothing they did now could change the outcome.

"Everyone, take your seats. Morning homeroom is starting."

She came to the classroom early once or twice a week to make announcements.

And today was especially important. There was no way she'd skip it.

Someone had already lost patience. It was Yamauchi Haruki, a scruffy-looking boy who wasn't very honest and liked to brag. "Teacher, this month's living expenses haven't been deposited. Didn't the school say it would deposit them on the first of every month?"

Yamauchi asked what everyone was wondering.

Kushida had mentioned in the class group chat yesterday that their living expenses would be reduced. But this wasn't a reduction. The money hadn't been paid at all.

And the students didn't have many points left. Of the 100,000 Private Points they'd received when they enrolled, only a few still had more than 10,000. The girls who dressed like gyarus, led by Karuizawa, were in a sorry state, with only a little over 1,000 left. As for the boys... Well, Ike and Yamauchi were even worse off, with only two-digit balances. That probably wasn't enough to buy a bottle of mineral water.

And they hadn't even had breakfast that morning because they were broke.

That was why Yamauchi had been so quick to ask.

This wasn't a reduction at all. They hadn't received anything. Had something gone wrong?

"..." Chabashira.

Chabashira glanced in Horikita's direction.

Horikita maintained her cool demeanor, but she was probably confused too.

Kushida had just said that she'd contacted students from other classes, and they'd already received their living expenses.

But their Class D still hadn't been paid.

So had something gone wrong?

That was right.

Horikita simply thought that perhaps the school's finance department had overlooked their class.

After all, the school provided room and board, and the dorms were completely free. On top of that, they received living expenses. Now that the students had already enrolled, the school couldn't just stop providing them with money.

So.

Even Horikita listened attentively.

"No."

For the first time, Teacher Chabashira, her hands folded beneath her chest, looked disappointed. "This month's points were deposited into your accounts a long time ago."

"Huh?" The students looked at one another. None of them had received any points.

"I said this month's points were deposited a long time ago. There's no doubt about that. The school didn't overlook this class."

Teacher Chabashira repeated herself, apparently trying to keep her temper in check.

For the past month, Teacher Chabashira had only shown a blank expression and a cold demeanor. But at that moment, she looked almost exasperated.

Because.

She'd thought this class could fulfill her long-held wish—to accomplish the feat of climbing from Class D to Class A.

But it had turned out to be the worst class she'd ever taught.

Chapter 35: Chabashira's Mental Breakdown!

Chabashira was feeling close to despair.
