Personal Points

Biodata

System and Distribution

• Personal Points are automatically deposited into each student's account on the first day of every month and are used for all on-campus spending. They may also be transferred between students. 14
• Every first-year student initially receives 100,000 Personal Points, described as equivalent to 100,000 yen in pocket money. 14
• Monthly distribution is tied directly to a class's Class Points: each student receives an amount equal to their class's current Class Points multiplied by 100. 35
• Class 1-B's April performance reduced its Class Points to 630, causing every member's May payment to fall to 63,000 Personal Points rather than the initial 100,000. 35 38
• The school presents Personal Points as universally useful, stating that there is “nothing [they] can't buy,” while leaving students to discover the system's practical limits themselves. 14 16

Uses and Exchange

Daily Purchases

• Food, drinks, clothing, cosmetics, and daily necessities are purchased with Personal Points. 14
• The cafeteria includes a 0-point Mountain Vegetable Set, while the shopping center provides free daily necessities nearing expiration. These options are available to students with little or no balance. 15 16
• Students may spend heavily on ordinary goods; Hajime Kashima exhausts his balance before buying necessities and must rely on Ichinose Honami's assistance. 16 18

Information and Special Privileges

• The Student Council can sell information for Personal Points. Manabu Horikita initially prices documents at 2,000,000 points, then raises the price to 5,000,000 points when Hajime agrees to purchase them. 16
• Although Hajime cannot afford either quoted price, Horikita later sells him admission-evaluation materials for all of his remaining points. 16
• The student handbook lists 20,000,000 Personal Points as the price for the right to transfer classes. 37
• Personal Points can serve as payment for privately obtained information: Sakayanagi Arisu pays Hajime after he gives her the first-year admission evaluations and ability assessments. 28

Rewards

• The school rewards student-created applications with Personal Points; a student-made Go app received a “decent reward.” 3
• The Go Club offered a substantial Personal Point reward to the player known as “God” if he proved his alleged win rate was legitimate. Koenji wins the challenge but refuses the prize. 3

Documented Transactions

Class B Savings Plan

• Ichinose argues that Personal Points should be preserved for unforeseen circumstances rather than treated solely as living expenses. 37
• She proposes that Class B's forty students contribute part of their balances to form a shared reserve, allowing the class to accumulate funds beyond what any individual could save. 38
• The proposal becomes contentious because the school has no confirmed separate account for a class treasury; storing the pooled points requires placing them under an individual's custody. 38
• Hajime publicly challenges the plan's custody issue, arguing that trust alone is insufficient reason to hand a large balance to one student. 38
• Ryota Beppu undermines Hajime's objection by revealing that Hajime has only the newly deposited monthly amount—just over 60,000 points—remaining in his account. 38
• Most of Class B ultimately supports Ichinose's savings plan, with dissent fading after the dispute. 38

Limitations and Risks

• Personal Points are not a fixed 100,000-point allowance; poor class performance can sharply reduce every student's monthly balance. 35 36
• Individual spending can leave a student unable to buy necessities until the next deposit. 16 17
• “Anything” being purchasable does not guarantee affordability: prices may be set or raised by the party controlling the desired item or information. 16
• Their transferability creates the possibility of pooled funds, private payments, and influence over other students. 14 28 38
