Class Points Have Limits, But Class D Doesn't

For the next two weeks, nothing particularly noteworthy happened.

Class D spent the entire month of April indulging themselves.

Time flew by, and May 1st arrived.

The classroom of Class 1-D was filled with various discussions.

"That's weird, I haven't received my points on my phone yet, have you guys?"

"Me neither." xN

"The school is too unpunctual. I skipped breakfast today to come here."

"Don't worry everyone, maybe the 100,000 points will arrive soon. They can't possibly give us 0 points, right? Haha."

According to Chabashira Sae, today was the day points would be distributed.

Thinking they would have another 100,000 yen in pocket money, everyone came to class with smiles on their faces.

However, as minute after minute ticked by, the designated point distribution time had already passed.

The numbers on their terminal devices remained unchanged.

Naturally, they began to feel confused and anxious.

This was not what they had imagined!

"Chihaya-kun, do you know what's going on?"

Sakura Airi looked at Chihaya Rei beside her and softly asked.

Sakura Airi wasn't overly worried.

Because Chihaya Rei had warned her, she had been relatively frugal with her points, except for the camera she had already bought, and still had tens of thousands of points left.

"No need to check your phones, because the points the school is giving to Class D this month are 0."

Chihaya Rei said with a light laugh.

His heart was already stirring with excitement, and he couldn't help but anticipate the upcoming class meeting.

"Eh?"

Hearing Chihaya Rei's words, Sakura Airi's small lips parted in a surprised 'O' shape. Coupled with her slightly widened eyes, her expression was somewhat dazed.

Why would the school give us 0 points?

However, Sakura Airi didn't have time to voice her confusion.

With the "clack-clack" sound of high heels, Chabashira Sae entered the classroom, holding a poster tube.

"Everyone, back to your seats."

This was her favorite phrase whenever she entered the classroom.

Upon seeing Chabashira Sae, the students of Class D immediately began to question her about the points.

"Chabashira-sensei, we haven't received our points yet!"

"Did the school forget to send them? Or is there a problem with the terminals?"

"Little Sae, are you having period cramps? You look terrible, haha!"

At this moment, an extremely inappropriate remark came from Ike Koji.

It was accompanied by his uncontrollable laughter; he thought he had made a very humorous statement.

Chabashira Sae shot him a cold glance, a sneer forming in her heart.

"Quickly tell us what's going on with the points."

Yamauchi Haruki urged impatiently.

"The points have already been distributed to you."

Chabashira Sae said expressionlessly, her voice flat.

"But they're not showing on our terminals?"

Hondo Ryotaro stood up and held up his student terminal to display it.

However, the next second, with a "snap!" sound.

Chabashira Sae slammed both hands onto the metal podium, looking down at everyone with a cold smile, and said in a mocking tone:

"You truly are a bunch of idiots!"

"Even now, you still haven't realized?"

Chabashira Sae felt increasingly pleased. She had been holding back for a whole month.

"The school didn't forget to give you points, and there's no problem with your terminals. I advise you to give up any illusions."

"What does that mean? Teacher, please explain clearly!"

"It's too much to suddenly start insulting us!"

"Heh heh!"

Chabashira Sae let out a short laugh, stood up, crossed her arms over her chest, and swept her gaze across the students with a look of contempt.

"That's right, after all, you are a group of defective students assigned to Class D."

"Huh? Who are you calling defective! Even if you're a teacher, you have no right to insult us like that!"

Hearing Chabashira Sae's insulting remarks, many students showed expressions of displeasure and began to retort one after another.

"The points the school issued to you are zero. Do you understand now?"

Chabashira Sae spoke with a cold, impatient tone.

"On what grounds!"

"Didn't they say we'd get 100,000 points every month?"

Chabashira Sae didn't answer; instead, she picked up a piece of chalk and turned to write on the blackboard.

Class A: 980cp Class B: 880cp Class C: 770cp Class D: 0cp

Chihaya Rei looked up, his eyes fixed on the class points.

The zero points for Class D spoke for themselves.

The other three classes had seen their points increase significantly, though there were still gaps between them.

Although he had sold the rules to the three classes at roughly the same time, he had taken into account the inherent differences in the students' basic aptitude.

Even with knowledge of the rules, the leaders of those classes had demanded that everyone maintain discipline and attend classes seriously.

Over the course of a month, there were bound to be some unconscious mistakes that led to point deductions.

"Zero! That is the school's evaluation of you."

Chabashira Sae's voice rang out through the classroom again.

"I said it at the start of the term: this school classifies students based on ability."

"A, B, C, D—whether it's based on current class points or the initial sorting, you are the absolute worst!"

"The personal points the school issues to you each month are calculated at a ratio of 1 to 100 based on these class points."

"But your performance in the first month really took me by surprise, heh..."

Chabashira Sae drew out her laughter.

At this moment, a student even asked, completely lacking self-awareness: "What happened in our first month?"

"Tardiness, leaving early, and absences totaled 98 times, and using mobile phones in class occurred 407 times."

"These alone were enough to deduct almost all of your class points."

"Not to mention that some of you committed even more egregious violations of classroom discipline. Do you need me to list them one by one?"

Chabashira Sae said mercilessly.

"Therefore, the school has judged that you are currently worthless, so naturally, the points issued to you are zero!"

"Surely there aren't any fools who actually thought they would receive 100,000 points unconditionally every month, right?"

As Chabashira Sae spoke, she cast a deep look at the area where Ike Koji was sitting; the implication was self-evident.

"You really are a bunch of people who don't know how to think."

The conspicuous numbers on the blackboard caught the eyes of the Class D students.

Chabashira Sae's cold words continued to pour into everyone's ears, one after another.

In an instant, the expressions on the faces of the Class D students became quite colorful.

Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Koji no longer dared to make a scene.

Because according to Chabashira Sae's explanation, the two of them had committed quite a few of the more excessive acts that led to point deductions.

They didn't dare to speak up now, fearing they might accidentally provoke the collective anger of the class.

The number of times they used their phones was higher than in the original story, because he had also participated.

Chihaya Rei rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, not bothering to hide his expression, his lips curling into a pleasant smile. At this moment, no one had the energy to pay attention to him.

He listened to Chabashira Sae's words while savoring the delicious expressions on the faces of the Class D students.

Especially those of Horikita Suzune, who was sitting beside him.

At first, Horikita Suzune had been diligently taking notes on what Chabashira was saying.

But when Chabashira Sae uttered the words about Class D being defective and presented the evidence, Horikita Suzune's face darkened. His red eyes stared fixedly at the numbers on the blackboard, his gaze filled with fury and disbelief, his fists clenched tight.

Clearly, he was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation.

This was exactly what he wanted to see!

I waited a whole month just for today.

"Chabashira-sensei, according to what you've said, zero points is merely the limit for class points, not the limit for Class D."

Chihaya Rei spoke up suddenly, his expression thoughtful and his voice calm and steady.

Must not laugh, at least not in front of forty people.

Chabashira Sae gave Chihaya Rei a deep look and nodded. "You are correct."

"Chihaya-kun, saying that right now is just too demoralizing."

Some students wore bitter smiles, yet they couldn't help but feel that Chihaya Rei was stating a fact.

"Then why are the class points of the other classes so high?"

"Yeah, I don't get it. Is the gap between us and them really that big?"

"Maybe it's because we really are defective goods, just like Chihaya-kun said. If it weren't for the fact that class points bottom out at zero, we would have been deducted even more."

"..."

Chabashira Sae watched quietly at this moment.

She had originally expected a decent start to the year, but the cruel reality had dealt her a heavy blow.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, the bottom line of Class D still far exceeded her imagination.

This group of people truly had no bottom line.

Class D had set a record for the lowest class points in history.

And because Chihaya Rei sold information to the other classes, Class A's class points had reached the highest in years for the first month.

The class points for Classes B and C were also far higher than those of previous years.

For her, this was simply the worst start ever.

Meanwhile, in the Year 1 Class B classroom, Hoshinomiya Chie was also analyzing the class point rankings for her students.

Her face was full of smiles, and she looked at the zero for Class D with a look of intoxication, thinking:

Never has there been such a wonderful start.
