Private Points

Biodata

System and Distribution

• Students hold Private Points in the personal system on their school-issued phones. The balance appears alongside their Class Points 1.
• At enrollment, Suzuki Toru's account shows 100,000 Private Points and 1,000 Class Points 1.
• Monthly Private Points are calculated by multiplying a student's class's Class Points by 100. The initial 1,000 Class Points therefore yield 100,000 Private Points; the monthly amount is not fixed 8 11.
• Private Points function like yen within the school, but students cannot take them outside. The school reclaims them after graduation 1 37.

Uses and Limits

• Purchases and agreements: Students can use Private Points for school purchases and, where school rules and mutual consent permit, transactions with other people 1 12.
• Class A transfer: Spending 20 million Private Points can promote one student to Class A, granting the rights available to a Class A graduate. Those graduation rights have not been sold separately 12 21.
• Information: Sakayanagi Arisu pays Mashima Tomoya 500,000 Private Points for general advice about surviving at the school. Teachers are prohibited from selling exam-rule information 12.
• Discipline: Suzuki Toru proposes using Private Points to have a disciplinary action revoked before it is announced; the passages do not show the school accepting such a payment 41.
• Non-transferable Class Points: Private Points can be earned and traded, but Class Points cannot be traded 12.

Earning and Trading

• Students can earn Private Points through club performance and personal transactions, in addition to their monthly allocation 11 12.
• A physical education teacher awards Private Points for swimming performance. Chabashira Sae later announces midterm rewards of 10,000 for first place, 5,000 for second, 2,000 for third, and 1,000 each for fourth through tenth 48.
• Class A agrees to pool half of each student's monthly Private Points, with Morishita Ai chosen to manage the pool 13.
• Directly buying and selling Private Points for yen is prohibited. After the school warns Suzuki Toru about such a plan, he proposes using badges as an intermediary; Horikita Manabu notes that the school could still intervene 34.
• The school discloses a cash-out recovery option to third-year students. Suzuki learns of it from Horikita Manabu while seeking to buy graduating students' points 33.
