These four subjects are what will be covered tomorrow, which means Classmate Shiina likely brought the books back to get a head start on her studies.

Love me, love my dog.

Someone who loves to study, someone who treats their studies with seriousness, must be a decent person.

Classmate Shirogane's impression of Classmate Shiina improved. He had originally viewed her as a stumbling block on his path to academic success, but looking at it now, she might actually be a guidepost.

And for now, Classmate Shiina remained very rational.

"I have roughly the same idea." Shirogane decided to share some information. "I don't think they'll give us this many points next month. A simple reduction would likely cause dissatisfaction, so they will definitely come up with a reduction plan that everyone can accept."

"Mm-hmm." Classmate Shiina nodded.

"But before that." Classmate Shiina took out her phone. "Let's add each other as friends. While I was waiting here just now, I noticed that after some students added each other, they could track each other's GPS location on the school's map app."

In other words, even though she was just waiting in the lobby on the first floor, Classmate Shiina had been eavesdropping on other students' information.

"Then, did you happen to see a super cute girl with straight silver hair pass by? She's in poor health and holds a cane," Shirogane said.

"Hm?" Classmate Shiina blinked gently.

The students she was assigned with in Class C could be said to be in a rather poor state; it felt like the whole place was filled with delinquent boys and girls.

Take Classmate Ryuen, for example—he was a notorious gang leader from a middle school she had heard of. A classmate of hers from middle school seemed to have been injured by Ryuen.

Today, everyone's desks had their names stuck on them, so the students sat according to their names.

She had even been worried that Classmate Ryuen would be dissatisfied with the arrangement and cause a scene in the classroom.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

But in such a group, Classmate Shiina, who disliked violence and hadn't had many friends in the past, suddenly realized that she felt out of place.

Under these circumstances, she noticed that there was actually a unique person like Classmate Shirogane in Class C.

Classmate Shirogane's gaze gave off a somewhat fierce impression, but Shiina felt that this was simply due to staying up late.

Because the other party had very heavy dark circles under his eyes.

If the dark circles were from staying up late, then what was he staying up late for? Some boys were willing to stay up all night writing or gaming.

However, Classmate Shirogane was a bit different, because there was a deep callus on the middle finger of his right hand.

This was the result of long-term pen usage.

If he were playing games, he wouldn't have a callus in that position.

Therefore.

Classmate Shirogane was actually staying up late to study; he was a person who loved to learn.

That was why, when she saw him in the gymnasium, Classmate Shiina chose to take the initiative to greet him.

She felt that he was the type of person she could interact with in class.

"That was a student I met at school; I felt she wasn't in very good health," Shirogane continued. "So I was thinking that between having to carry books to the dormitory and having to go shopping, it probably isn't an easy task for her."

So, Classmate Shirogane was actually worried about others?

Looking at it this way, Classmate Shirogane really was quite a kind person, despite looking fierce.

"If it's the girl with the cane you're talking about, I haven't seen her yet," Classmate Shiina said.

Is that so.

Shirogane nodded, walked out of the dormitory building with Shiina, and headed toward the shopping district.

It took seven or eight minutes to get from the dormitory to the school building, but it took 12-15 minutes to walk from the dormitory to the shopping district.

After experiencing this, one would realize that this school was truly massive.

The shopping district also appeared quite magnificent.

There were karaoke bars, convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, bookstores, cinemas, shopping malls, and so on.

As long as it was something needed for daily life, it was all here; it was equivalent to a condensed, small-scale living city.

However, since it had to accommodate students from three grade levels in a fully enclosed boarding environment, people would probably be very dissatisfied if it didn't have the supporting facilities.

And if the facilities were well-equipped, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of rebellion.

Shirogane and Classmate Shiina chose to head directly to the nearest supermarket.

As freshmen, they had a lot of supplies to purchase, and the supermarket's wide variety of items made it a good choice.

Once inside the supermarket, they found evidence on the shelves that points could be used as money.

Since the price tags on the items were in points rather than yen, it confirmed that points could indeed be used as currency.

"Beep!"

"Your total is 2300 points. Deducting 2300 private points."

At this moment, students were already starting to pay at the checkout counters using their student IDs.

"They can actually use points as money. This broken school is kind of interesting!" the student who had placed his phone on the scanner suddenly said.

Shirogane had originally been pushing his shopping cart while picking out daily necessities, but he suddenly looked over.

Because.

He had heard this voice before; he had heard it in the gymnasium.

ps: Sob sob, asking for all kinds of data for the new book.

ps: The cover has been changed, but it hasn't passed review yet; it might pass tomorrow or the day after.

Chapter 8: The Violent Ryuen! Don't Bring Your Thug Ways Into This School!

Shirogane had heard this voice before. Back then, when the gymnasium was dismissed and students were blocking the way, that voice had appeared.

"Get lost! Don't force me to beat you!"

It was something roughly like that.

It was a rather fierce and overbearing voice.

And the person in question was also a student from Class C of the first year.

As for his name, there hadn't been any self-introductions in class, but the students' names were posted on their desks. Shirogane quickly recalled that the person's name was...

"That is Classmate Ryuen, his name is Ryuen Kakeru."

At this moment, Classmate Shiina had arrived at some point.

"Although I don't know him personally, I have heard of his reputation. He is a notorious delinquent, and back in middle school, a student in my class was beaten and injured by him."

"He seems to enjoy beating others into submission."

"And now that he has become a student in our class, things have become troublesome," Classmate Shiina said.

In other words, she was worried that Classmate Ryuen would bring those violent methods from middle school into this school.

Having someone in the class who advocates for and uses violence is indeed quite difficult to deal with.

"Do you know any information about Ryuen Kakeru?" Shirogane suddenly asked at this moment.

"Eh?"

Classmate Shiina blinked gently, her hands folded together, looking a bit confused.

Because hadn't she just told Classmate Shirogane everything she knew?

Naturally, this was because Classmate Shirogane wasn't asking her.

[Ryuen, huh? This is a guy who worships violence. He's basically impossible to tame.]

[He is arrogant and conceited, using violent means to hold Class C together; many students dare to be angry but dare not speak out.]

[By oppressing the class with violence and using underhanded tactics to fight against other classes, he has brought unprecedented results to Class C.]

Just as Shirogane thought, the Narration System seemed to know some intelligence.

And what was said here shouldn't be information about the present or the past, because the current Classmate Ryuen had just enrolled and hadn't yet "held the class together."

In other words, does this narration also know about things that will happen in the future?

After testing and concluding that this narration was a living entity, Shirogane fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the entity comes from the future? Otherwise, it would be impossible to know about future events.

But such a thing is basically impossible to happen; however, he was now bound to such a Narration System.

It was already something unscientific.

"..." His mood was complex.

"Classmate Shirogane?" A voice that sounded worried reached his ears—it was Classmate Shiina.

Worried?

Indeed.

If a person suddenly starts talking, and the person they are talking to is something Classmate Shiina cannot see, then it is indeed worrying.

If this continues, it won't just be Classmate Sakayanagi who thinks he's crazy; Classmate Shiina will think he's crazy too.

Shirogane did not want to be expelled right now.

"I was just thinking," Shirogane said. "If Classmate Ryuen uses violent means, how far can he lead the class?"

"Then how far can he go?" Classmate Shiina Hiyori asked with some curiosity.

Based on the information currently available, although the school gives everyone 100,000 points every month, Hiyori shared the same thought as Shirogane: next month, or even the month after, it was certain that not everyone would receive 100,000 in living expenses.

They would definitely be cut, and the cuts could be the school directly notifying everyone of a reduction.

However.

Hiyori felt that was unlikely.

One of the reasons was...

How could the school possibly push away the students of their class, especially when they could enjoy the exemption from exams for any university—a privilege reserved for super elites—and even have green lights for employment?

This was a very clear-headed realization.

The class has diligent and hardworking students like Shirogane, but it also has Classmate Ryuen, who resorts to violence, and even other delinquent boys and girls.

Hiyori did not think that pushing all these students out to secure better treatment was what the school wanted to see. After all, graduating from Ikusei High School meant receiving many job offers, becoming the talent that supports various industries.

And it was clear that everyone... could not achieve that.

Therefore, there must be some kind of rule or assessment system in place, eventually leading to everyone being screened and weeded out.

And if everyone was going to be weeded out, then why were they recruited in the first place?

Thinking this, Hiyori heard Classmate Shirogane continue, "Although I don't know much about the situation of the students around me, Ryuen should be able to unite the class through violent means."

"Even reaching a point where only his voice is heard in the class, uniting the class is a very important thing."

"Both the teachers and the Student Council President have said that this is a school where ability is paramount, and the Student Council President has also acknowledged that the school provides graduates with the treatment of entering universities and securing jobs without exams, which suggests that this must be true."

"But it is impossible to give everyone such treatment."

"It could be that at the very end, when it comes time to graduate, students will compete based on their ability to obtain such treatment."

"And our homeroom teacher, Sakagami, said that our class will not change homeroom teachers from the first year to the third year, nor will the class composition change."

"This is clearly an abnormal move."

"So I speculate, could the students who are ultimately allowed to receive the school's benefits be given the opportunity on a class-by-class basis?"

"I don't think the school would recruit so many students for no reason."

"As for this 'ability is paramount' concept, aside from the students' inherent abilities, I think that over these three years, there must also be students who have changed because of the school's curriculum, what they learn, and their experiences," Classmate Shirogane said.

Mm.

Hiyori nodded.
