Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Class D — initial placement | 3 4 | Begins at the bottom of the A–D ranking system. Its students initially receive 100,000 private points per month. |
| Class D — 0 class points | 11 | The class's poor overall performance reduces its class points to zero, suspending monthly personal-point distributions. |
| Class D — 105 class points | 20 | The class earns 105 points following the midterms, aided by the successful passage of previously at-risk students. |
Background
Class D is assigned to classroom D-301 in the Main Teaching Building's Block A. Its classroom contains twenty-six desks, while the nearby first-year Class A, B, and C rooms each contain twenty-five, marking it as an unusual group from the outset 2 3.
Under Advanced Nurturing High School's system, Class D begins with the least favorable treatment and is publicly identified as the lowest-ranked class. Its position is not permanent: class performance, discipline, examinations, activities, cohesion, and leadership can affect class points and permit advancement 3 4.
The class initially struggles to function as a collective. Its students react to their point shortage with unrest, while strong personalities, academic underperformance, and conflicting priorities impede cooperation 5 7 11. Following the collapse to zero class points, Kazama In agrees to consolidate and lead the class upward 12.
Class Profile
Class D is not portrayed as lacking talent; rather, its members possess strengths that are poorly coordinated.
- Athletics — Sudo Ken possesses exceptional physical ability and explosive power, but his temper repeatedly creates risks for the class 7 15.
- Academics and strategy — Horikita Suzune is highly capable academically and goal-oriented, while Ayanokoji Kiyotaka contributes practical strategic insight 7 18.
- Social cohesion — Hirata Yosuke provides natural leadership and mediation, and Kushida Kikyo is highly effective at persuading and connecting with classmates 7 16.
- Information and morale — Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki are frivolous and academically weak at first, but are noted as capable of gathering information and energizing the group 7.
- Leadership — Kazama becomes the class's principal organizer through conflict resolution, resource acquisition, tutoring support, and political maneuvering 6 12 19 40.
Notable Members

| Horikita Suzune | Organizes study efforts and tutors Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi before the midterms 15 19. |
| Hirata Yosuke | Coordinates classmates, distributes the past exam papers, and leads the island scouting team 19 39. |
| Koenji Rokusuke | Cooperates with Kazama during the island exam; Kazama secretly registers Koenji's student card as the true leader while serving as the public leader himself 40 41. |
| Sudo Ken | An initially resistant student whose eventual participation in tutoring helps Class D avoid further academic losses 15 20. |
| Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki | Initially dismissive of studying, but later seek tutoring and pass the midterms 15 19 20. |

Story Role / Major Arcs
Point Crisis and Midterms
Class D's first major crisis occurs when its class points fall to zero and personal-point distribution is suspended 11. Kazama, Horikita, Ayanokoji, Hirata, and Kushida work to prevent Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi from failing the midterms; the three ultimately pass, allowing the class to earn 105 points 15 19 20.
Sudo Ken False-Accusation Case
After Class C accuses Sudo of assault, Kazama obtains surveillance footage showing that Sudo was provoked and acted in retaliation 24. During the Student Council hearing, evidence exposes Class C's fabricated accusation; the responsible students lose their semester's personal points, Class C loses fifty class points, and written apologies to Sudo and Class D are ordered 26.
Water Park Incident
Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, and Sotomura attempt to install hidden cameras in the women's changing room during the Water Park trip. Kazama deliberately arranges for Ryuen Kakeru to expose the plan publicly, ensuring that it fails and that the offenders receive severe punishment 32.
Uninhabited Island Survival Special Exam
During the island exam, Class D chooses Kazama as its leader because of his composure and demonstrated ability 40. Kazama and Koenji covertly investigate the threat of the “Blood Crows,” while the class organizes scouting and survival efforts under pressure from the wider inter-class competition 39 40 41.
Relationships
- Student Council — Kazama serves as Student Council Vice President, giving Class D direct representation during disciplinary and political matters 16 26.
- Class A — Class A holds a substantial early point advantage over Class D; its members later clash with Class D during the sea-study trip's dining-hall confrontation 14 36.
- Class B — Class D interacts with Class B during the Water Park trip, particularly through Ichinose Honami's invitation and involvement with Kazama 30.
- Class C — The classes are frequent adversaries: Class C attempts to frame Sudo, temporarily abandons Ibuki Mio to Class D on the island, and is repeatedly challenged by Kazama's negotiations and countermeasures 24 26 40 43.
