Chapter 2

Cancel Partner Expulsion (Twice)
Major Violations: None
Expulsion Cancellations: None
Expected Career Path: Plans to study economics, commerce, or management at Hitotsubashi University. Hopes the school will help conceal his background so he can live as an ordinary university student. During his time at school, he will try to seek out all kinds of talent and associate with them as an equal. After graduating, he will most likely take a position in the leadership of his family business and shoulder his social responsibilities.

Ability Assessment:
First Impression: A- (86)
Average-looking, but well-mannered and articulate. Talented without being overbearing. He can use various social pleasantries without seeming the least bit unnatural, while still possessing the bold, inspiring spirit of a Japanese man who can rally a crowd with a single call.
Learning Ability: A (91)
He has adapted exceptionally well to the academic demands of this school, finding them easy and still having plenty of capacity to spare.
Environmental Adaptability: A- (85)
He quickly adapted to life at this school. Even in areas where he is extremely weak, he has displayed remarkable intelligence and can overcome difficulties quickly.
Flexible Thinking: A (88)
His words and actions are highly persuasive, and he possesses unquestionable leadership ability. He is popular with other boys and equally adept at getting along with girls. Despite lacking striking looks, he enjoys surprisingly high popularity among girls. However, his reputation among other year groups is somewhat lower. He has a fearsome nickname, apparently the result of rumors growing in the telling.
Physical Ability: B- (61)
His physical ability was poor when he enrolled, but he has improved through persistent training. His ambition and perseverance deserve considerable praise.
Financial Management: A+ (100)
Since the school was founded, no student has ever held more personal points, or increased their personal assets more quickly. Tracking his financial transactions is a pleasure, and we even have reason to believe he has manipulated the personal accounts of multiple students. He has outstanding financial acumen, and compared with his personal earnings, his usual expenses are negligible.
Social Contribution: A+ (97)
He has served as vice president of the Student Council for more than two years. Diligent and conscientious, he has also become a key figure in driving reforms at this school. As a student, he has had a profound positive impact on his class, his year group, and even the entire school.
Teamwork: A (87)
Although he relies a little too much on his individual ability, he does not hesitate to work with a team when needed. He even deliberately assigns suitable tasks to others to improve their sense of belonging and their abilities. He leads from the front, is willing to take on difficult work, and is not concerned with appearances, making him an ideal people-oriented leader.
Mental Fortitude: A- (82)
He is rather lazy in his daily life, but he does not falter at critical moments. He sees things through, refuses to give up, does not fear failure, and does not care about being laughed at. He is a mature young man with a rich inner world and many masks. His resistance to beautiful girls is weak, which warrants attention.

Homeroom Teacher's Comments:
A student with immense potential, he has a perspective and problem-solving ability far beyond those of his peers, and he continues to learn and improve. Born into privilege, yet entirely unpretentious, he became a leader in his class and everyone answered his call. Even the most unruly girls and the most mischievous boys willingly let him direct them. Though average-looking, he has the impressive record of publicly dating several girls without suffering any consequences, which is sufficient proof of his ability and personal charm. He does show a tendency to treat exceptionally beautiful girls differently, but he has consistently maintained a position of control in all his relationships. He is possessive, yet patient, and treats every girl responsibly. There have been no rumors of him leading anyone on and then abandoning her, so this should not be considered a flaw. Some students in lower year groups have complained of being bullied and oppressed by him. However, a discreet investigation found these claims untrue; everything he did was within the rules. He is adept at drawing up legal agreements to earn extra income, which is one reason he has amassed considerable assets on campus. He has remained vice president of the Student Council because he is too lazy to take the position of president. He is conscientious in his work and has earned unanimous praise from the teachers who set the exam questions, as well as his senior and junior colleagues on the council. If he has a shortcoming, it is that his sense of responsibility in both his class and the Student Council needs improvement. If he can continue to improve his somewhat lazy lifestyle and mindset, he may ultimately reach astonishing heights. Interestingly, when interacting with exceptionally beautiful girls, he is highly motivated and can bring his enthusiasm and abilities to their fullest. Employers should take note of this.

Principal's Overall Assessment:
This student has excellent grades and outstanding independent thinking and social skills. He learns and adapts quickly, while also being confident and ambitious. He has a keen sense for money, yet is not obsessed with wealth. Combined with his excellent leadership skills and impressive performances in multiple Special Exams, he is one of the finest graduates of this year group. We believe he is suited to almost any position that does not involve strenuous physical labor, but for him to avoid careers in economics, finance, or investment would be a waste of his talents. We consider a senior management position in the investment industry to be the best fit for him. Assigning him a beautiful female assistant to guide and encourage him, while allowing him appropriate time to relax and increasing his sense of belonging, would make him a dependable, independent high-level professional. The school fully supports his career plans. We hope he can balance his professional knowledge with his knowledge of talent management, achieve success, and contribute to society.

Note: My personal take on volume 16 of the original work (Do not read if you haven't read it; major spoilers)
This has been such a hot topic in the Classroom of the Elite community that I thought I'd join in and share my humble opinion! To get straight to the point, I think Airi's expulsion makes sense. Don't rush to flame me; let me explain. First, this is Kinugasa Shogo's plot twist, and there's no getting around it. The story had already set up Chabashira's dark past and Kushida's "redemption"; it would have been strange if they hadn't come up. As a fellow author, though, I can understand the desire to write about what one truly wants to express. He really does want to write a book about "strength," rather than "youth," "friendship," "love," or even a "harem." This is connected to his early experiences and the fact that his main occupation is no longer writing light novels. I can tell you plainly: Kinugasa Shogo absolutely writes whatever he wants, though whether he writes it well is another matter. If you can't handle even one Airi expulsion, there may be even bigger surprises in store, including but not limited to the expulsion of major characters like Ichinose. That's right, Airi is only a supporting character. Ichinose is the one with a danger sign painted over her head. I'll make that prediction for now; feel free to prove me wrong. I'm not fearmongering, because this isn't a light novel that follows the usual harem formula. To the author, the best use for beautiful things is to destroy them! Japanese writers in particular have an extremely low floor (here I'd like to praise myself for not expelling Airi), just look at the miserable fates of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha next door. Anyway, back to the point. Now isn't the time to discuss whose head the next blade will fall on. Why does Airi's expulsion make sense? First, let's understand a concept: strength. Everyone explains it differently, but for our purposes, let's consider strength to be everything a person can command. Of course, that includes professional skills, personal relationships, thinking ability, creativity, and even vague, intangible things like luck. We can count all sorts of things that help you win in this chaotic world.
