In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

What does "confiscation" mean? It means the forfeiture of gains obtained through violations.

In this instance, the confiscation due to violations clearly implies that the confidentiality agreement was breached, and the true nature of this school was leaked to the freshmen in advance.

Considering that out of his four colleagues, three were acting like complete snakes, Mashima said:

"The point deduction for Third-Year Class C is because students in my class purchased school intelligence from them."

"When they first enrolled, students in my class considered buying such information from me, but I did not allow it at the time."

"So, they sought out upperclassmen to get it done."

So, is this the terrifying reason why First-Year Class A maintained a score of 925?

However.

Mashima's statement soon drew attention. It was Hoshinomiya Chie.

After the Behavioral Standards Exam for the freshmen this time, her First-Year Class B had dropped, so her salary for this month would also be reduced to the level of a Class C teacher.

This was a sad state of affairs.

Furthermore, she had to bear the negative reputation of being the worst Class B in history, having fallen in the very first month.

It could be said that this was a shameful matter.

However, she did not intend to let this slide as if it never happened.

So, she prepared to make Sakagami feel uncomfortable.

"So, Sakagami-sensei's class was able to get such a high score this time because some students also violated the rules, right?"

"Otherwise, it would be basically impossible for your class to have insight into the school's rules and respond to them as if they had the answers," Hoshinomiya said, looking at Sakagami.

"No, that's not the case at all," Sakagami Kazuma said. "Everything was discovered by the students in my class through their own intelligence."

"And since the students in Class A knew the reality of the school so early on, it cannot be determined whether it was the students in Class A who leaked the information, can it?"

As a homeroom teacher, he naturally knew that Ryuen and the others had obtained school intelligence from the upperclassmen through illicit means.

Therefore, this matter was not honorable.

But now, since the school authorities had not issued any punishment, didn't that mean they were tacitly allowing it to happen?

Thus.

As long as it wasn't reported and wasn't discovered, even some rule-breaking operations wouldn't be punished.

And since the students in Class A knew the reality of the school very early on, one could simply insist that it was the students in Class A who leaked the information.

"But little Chabashira, how did you get so many points deducted?" Sakagami's argument wasn't perfect, and if one wanted to pick at it, there were loopholes, but Hoshinomiya shifted her focus to Chabashira Sae. She asked the question while gently blinking.

"Or is it that you broke the rules so much just to make your own class climb up!"

Hoshinomiya looked all smiles, but the two male teachers beside her felt as if she had suddenly bristled.

Hoshinomiya, Chabashira, and they were all students from the same cohort, though they were in different classes, and Hoshinomiya was even Chabashira's close friend.

Although she was smiling now, she gave off a very strong sense of opposition.

It seemed as if she was extremely opposed to Chabashira climbing up.

"If my class could really climb up, then it wouldn't be at 0 points right now," Chabashira said, appearing completely indifferent.

Saying this, she began to walk straight ahead.

Hoshinomiya did not immediately chase after her.

Instead, she muttered on the spot.

"Well, little Chabashira, are you still dwelling on the past? Do you want to use the current Class D to climb up in place of the you from back then?"

"But do you know that this kind of thing is meaningless, because everyone has already been ruined by you and cannot graduate from Class A."

"So, I can't let you get redemption all by yourself."

"No matter how much you climb up, I will stomp you back down. Definitely!"

Despite saying such terrifying words, Hoshinomiya quickly caught up to Teacher Chabashira, putting on a cute expression.

"Well, little Chabashira, don't walk so fast—"

"As the losing class today, how about we go for a drink tonight? Since you haven't had your points deducted to zero, my treat."

"..."

Hoshinomiya in this state is terrifying.

Watching from afar, Sakagami subconsciously looked away.

He somewhat understood why Hoshinomiya, despite having high emotional intelligence and good looks, hadn't settled down with anyone until now; the reason was probably this—this person is terrifying.

"What a pain," Mashima said, sighing as he watched the two female teachers leave.

It could be confirmed that Chabashira wanted to climb up, and Hoshinomiya was keeping a close eye on her.

I'm afraid Hoshinomiya's own 100,000-point deduction penalty was incurred just to investigate whether Chabashira had broken the rules.

"In any case, congratulations, Sakagami." Mashima turned toward Sakagami Kazuma. "Your class has climbed up."

"We were students in the same class in the past, and Mashima, I admit you were stronger, but when it comes to the class as a whole, it's not necessarily true that our class couldn't surpass yours." Sakagami adjusted his glasses and said.

"So, what was the reason for the 500,000 point deduction?" Mashima suddenly asked.

"..." Sakagami. "It wouldn't hurt to tell you. Actually, Ryuen asked me about the status of the class evaluation points. By rights, I shouldn't have said anything, but I did. That must be where the 500,000 points were deducted."

In other words, this was where Sakagami's violation occurred.

Being excessively biased toward his own students, he had no bottom line.

"Some of your actions only bring bad influences to the students," the upright Mashima said.

But Sakagami Kazuma just pushed up his glasses.

"However, adults sometimes use dirty tactics, so rather than having my students enter society later and be on the receiving end of such dirty tactics, it's better to let them be the ones using them."

"And this school, which prioritizes ability, is the most suitable training ground, isn't it?" Sakagami said, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Although he and Mashima were students in the same class in the past, Mashima was the class representative, while he was just the bottom-feeder of Class A. Some of his theories weren't even recognized by his classmates, but he felt that his ideas would actually be more useful in society.

So, what was wrong with letting the students experience the darkness of society in advance?

It was better than being swindled later on.

The homeroom period ended quickly.

The students welcomed their free time.

For the current Class C... oh no, Class B, this was an important occasion: changing the class sign.

"Left, a little more to the left, yes, that's straight!"

"We're actually Class B now."

"It feels like a comeback, doesn't it?"

Ryuen's class seemed very lively, and most of the students were caught up in the news of their promotion. After all, who doesn't like climbing higher?

So, after confirming that their information had indeed been updated on their Student IDs, some people started tinkering with the class sign.

But very soon.

"By the way, what's up with that girl?"

"She's super cute, is she a freshman like us?"

"I don't know which class she's from."

"That girl is walking this way."

The focus of their attention began to shift toward the girl.

They noticed a rather cute Cane Girl walking over from the hallway.

Soon, the girl arrived at the classroom door.

"Could you help me pass on a message?" she said.

"Su-sure, of course." The student who was asked looked flattered.

"This isn't a place you should be, Sakayanagi."

However, at this moment, a boy with parted red hair blocked the cute girl's path.

"It is indeed not a place I should be," the girl said, appearing quite polite. "So, could you help me call him out?"

"Classmate Ryuen." The young girl called out Ryuen's name instantly.

"Tch."

Ryuen snorted. Then, he called out toward the inside of the classroom.

"Shirogane Miyuki, Sakayanagi from Class A is looking for you!"

Chapter 052: Classmate Shirogane, do you know about the 20 million points? 3rd update for the ranking push!

Shirogane and Sakayanagi headed toward the corner of the stairwell together.

It was break time, but since no students from the Student Council were around, it could be considered a place where they could talk.

As he walked, Shirogane couldn't help but glance back at the expressionless Ryuen.

Actually, just a moment ago, Sakayanagi and Ryuen had a brief confrontation.

Ryuen had intentionally pointed out Sakayanagi's name; this was his way of declaring to her that he knew the information about Class A, yet Sakayanagi had been able to name him just as easily.

This meant that Sakayanagi had already mastered the intelligence on this side long ago.

In other words.

Ryuen felt he had the capital to be proud now that he had been promoted to Class B, but it turned out to be standard operating procedure for Class A.

He was a bit discouraged.

"So, what is the reason for Sakayanagi's visit this time?" Shirogane wrote in his small notebook.

A response soon formed in his mind.

[At this point in time, Sakayanagi Arisu should have already met with the Student Council President alongside Katsuragi Kohei, and is now coming to see you alone.]

Oh. I see.

So she met with the Student Council President?

Shirogane pondered.

Why weren't the students of Ryuen Class notified?

In other words, even if Ryuen Class performed excellently in this behavioral conduct exam, the only ones who would ultimately be favored remain Class A.

Class A is the victor in the class competition.

This also aligns with the meritocratic philosophy of Horikita Manabu.

However.

Since Sakayanagi went to the student council with Katsuragi, it indicates that the factional struggle within Class A has not yet ended. It has even reached a stalemate; otherwise, there would be no need for both of them to go see Horikita Manabu together.

This is actually a good thing for Ryuen Class.

After all, the gap between the two classes is currently less than 200 points, so with the special exams held every month, there is still a chance to quickly close the distance.

But this is merely an optimistic view, because Classmate Shirogane and the others rely on Ryuen's violent rule, forcing students to follow the rules to maintain their points. Yet, looking at the students of Class A, they cannot be uniformly controlled due to their different factions. The fact that Class A only lost 76 points in a month—meaning that even without coercion, the students of Class A can maintain self-discipline—is something students from other classes simply cannot achieve.

Therefore.

Even if one could lead their class up to Class A, sitting firmly in that position would likely be a very difficult task.

Classmate Shirogane harbored concerns regarding this.

Because only those who graduate as Class A can receive the rewards promised by the school, one must ensure their class is Class A in the final month of their third year.

Since this time span is quite long—a full three years—is it simpler to choose to charge up early and maintain the Class A position, or to lay low and make a final sprint during the second semester of the third year?

And if one could reach the Class A position early on, it would inevitably be an encouragement for the class. It could have a positive effect.
