Class A

Biodata

Class Standing & Benefits

Background

Advanced Nurturing High School divides each grade into four forty-student classes, Class A through Class D. Class 1-A begins with 1,000 Class Points and the school’s highest initial evaluation, though this designation does not guarantee continued success. Its students must preserve their standing through performance, discipline, and contribution to the class. Students who cannot keep up or contribute may be expelled. 1 12

During the first month, Class A’s orderly conduct distinguishes it from the lower-ranked classes. The school’s evaluation considers individual performance and recorded conduct, including lateness, leaving early, and slacking during lessons. Class A loses only 60 points, ending the month at 940 and retaining the top rank. 29

Organization

Factions

Class A develops two competing leadership blocs shortly after Sakayanagi Arisu reveals the school’s class-ranking system.

• Katsuragi Faction — Built around Katsuragi Kohei’s established reputation, reliability, and prior efforts to mediate disputes and assist classmates. 13 14
• Sakayanagi Faction — Formed around Sakayanagi Arisu after she provides intelligence on Class Points, expulsions, and Class A’s exclusive graduation privileges. Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kito Hayato openly align with her. 11 13
• Neutral students — Several classmates remain undecided or uninterested in either faction. 13

Shared Private-Point Fund

Katsuragi proposes that every student save half of their monthly Private Points to prepare for future emergencies. Sakayanagi turns the proposal into a leadership contest over who should control the funds. Suzuki Toru nominates Morishita Ai as custodian; both factions accept, and the class agrees to contribute half of its monthly points beginning the following month. 13

Known Members

Class Culture

• Class A students are attentive in class, ask teachers about coursework, and show a strong tendency toward academic competition. 3
• The class recognizes that Class Points cannot be traded and that private wealth alone cannot protect its collective standing. 12
• Many students initially assume their Class A placement proves they are secure, but Sakayanagi counters that all four classes began with the same 1,000 Class Points and can be overtaken. 11
• Class A’s initial advantage is reinforced by its general rule-following: its first-month evaluation shows far fewer deductions than the other classes. 29
• Club participation is treated as a source of Private Points and intelligence from upperclassmen. 11

Major Events

Discovery of the Class System

Sakayanagi informs Class A that monthly Private Points are tied to Class Points, that Class A alone receives the school’s graduation guarantees, and that lower-ranked classes may suffer expulsions. Her disclosure makes preserving Class A’s rank the class’s immediate priority. 11

Leadership Split

Katsuragi’s proposal to pool half of every student’s monthly points triggers open rivalry with Sakayanagi. The dispute formally divides the class into the Katsuragi and Sakayanagi factions, though they reach a compromise by placing Morishita in charge of the fund. 13

First-Month Evaluation

The school reveals the first-month standings: Class A holds 940 points, retaining first place over Class B’s 770 points. Mashima Tomoya explains that the evaluation was based on students’ conduct and individual performance under surveillance. 29

Student Council Representation

Suzuki Toru and Katsuragi Kohei join the Student Council alongside Ichinose Honami of Class B. Suzuki is subsequently appointed vice president by Horikita Manabu, giving Class A two first-year representatives in the council. 31 32
