Class D

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Class D begins its first year as a group of 40 students whose social circles quickly form around shared personalities and interests. Several students remain isolated or openly reject social interaction, creating an unstable class dynamic from the outset. Sae Chabashira is assigned as the class's homeroom teacher. 2

On enrollment, every student receives 100,000 private points. Chabashira explains that points represent the school's evaluation of ability and may be spent or transferred within the school. Most of Class D treats the payment as unrestricted spending money, while only a few students suspect that its value is conditional. 2

Rokusuke Koenji later reveals that Class D is the lowest of the school's four classes. Chabashira confirms that class assignment is based on the school's assessment of excellence: Class A contains the most highly evaluated students, while Class D contains those judged most deficient. 6 15

Loss of Private Points

Class D's students accumulate 98 cases of tardiness or absence and more than 400 incidents of classroom misbehavior during April. As a result, the class receives no private-point deposit in May and falls to zero class points. 14 15

The class also learns that students scoring below half of the class average on a midterm or final examination face expulsion. Only Class A graduates receive school recommendations or guarantees for higher education and employment. 15

Midterm Recovery

In response to the expulsion risk, Class D begins study sessions led primarily by Yosuke Hirata, Kikyo Kushida, and Suzune Horikita. Katsuya Shinjo supports the group through tutoring, past papers, and exam answers obtained through the Odd Jobs Agency. 20 25 30 33

Although the class broadly improves, Kazuya Sudo scores 39 in English—below the required 39.8—and is initially expelled. Chabashira allows the class to purchase his missing mark for 100,000 points; Class D crowdfunds the amount and saves him. 35 36

By June, the class earns 87 class points for its improved effort and conduct, ending its zero-point status. 38

Story Role / Major Arcs

April Spending Crisis

Class D's initial enthusiasm over its 100,000-point allowance leads to widespread reckless spending. Several students spend nearly all their points on karaoke and other entertainment shortly before the May deposit fails to arrive. 13 14

Midterm Examination Arc

The class attempts to prevent expulsions through organized study sessions, academic support, and Shinjo's exam-answer scheme. The effort raises the class's overall performance but nearly fails when Sudo falls short in English. 20 30 35 36

Sudo Assault Case

Class C accuses Sudo of assaulting three of its students, causing the school to suspend the private-point distributions of both Class C and Class D while the case is investigated. Class D is divided over whether to trust Sudo and initially lacks evidence to refute the accusation. 40 42

At the hearing, Class C presents photographs, injuries, and medical reports, while Class D can only argue that Sudo was framed. Student Council President Manabu Horikita postpones final disciplinary action until the following Tuesday. 42

Relationships

• Sae Chabashira — Homeroom teacher. She initially lets the class's misconduct continue before revealing its consequences; despite her harshness, she sees potential in the group. 14 33 38
• Class A — Highest-ranked rival class; its students hold 1,004 class points when Class D has 87. 38
• Class B — Higher-ranked class that considers an alliance with Class D against Class C. 50
• Class C — Immediate rival class led by Ryuen; repeatedly provokes Class D and frames Sudo for assault. 30 40 42
• Odd Jobs Agency — Student-run club established by Katsuya Shinjo. It provides Class D with a source of commissions, information, and academic resources, though its profit-driven methods create tension within the class. 20 33 44

Trivia

• Class D's class-point total rises from 0 to 87 between May and June, but it remains in fourth place. 15 38
• The class's first major financial collapse is caused by its own conduct rather than an unexplained school penalty. 14
• Despite being the lowest-ranked class, Class D includes students with notable academic, physical, social, and strategic abilities. 9 16 20 33
