Background

Class D began as the lowest-ranked first-year class at Advanced Nurturing High School. During orientation, its students were notably less organized than the other classes: some focused on the campus's luxury while others remained confused by the school's “ability first” philosophy. 13

The class initially received 100,000 private points per student, leading many students to assume the school would provide the amount unconditionally each month. Hoshida No challenged that assumption, arguing that upperclassmen from lower-ranked classes relying on free meals indicated a hidden link between behavior and point income. 14 23

After Hoshida purchased information from Chabashira Sae, the class learned that misconduct, poor attendance, academic failure, and verified reports could reduce its class points. Hoshida and Kushida Kikyō then convinced the class to crowdfund the cost of the information, making the hidden rules known to everyone. 19 23

At the end of its first month, Class D had lost 250 of its original 1,000 class points, reducing each student's monthly private-point income to 75,000. The loss pushed the class toward stricter study habits and greater awareness of collective responsibility. 24

Class System

System Element	Effect on Class D
Class Points	Each class begins with 1,000 points. Monthly performance raises or lowers this total, which determines class ranking. 24
Private Points	One class point equals 100 private points per student; Class D's 750 class points resulted in 75,000 private points per student. 24
Class Hierarchy	Classes are ranked from A to D by points. Special exams are the primary means of changing rank. 24
Point Deductions	Repeated minor infractions, serious misconduct, verified external reports, and widespread exam failure can reduce class points. 20
Expulsion Risk	Students may be expelled for failing academic thresholds, serious rule violations, cheating, violent conflict, withdrawal, or severe harassment. 24 25
Class War CP	During the Class War, Class D began with an independent pool of 250 War Points (CP), separate from normal class points. 36

Major Arcs

Hidden Rules and Academic Recovery

Hoshida No's purchase of the school’s hidden rules forced Class D to confront the consequences of its behavior. The class reacted by improving classroom discipline and organizing study sessions to prevent students near the expulsion threshold from failing the midterms. 23 24 25

The midterm rewarded perfect scores with class points. Hoshida's five perfect scores earned Class D 50 points, while the class's overall preparation produced a 180-point gain that brought it within 10 points of Class C. 25 31

Conflict with Class C

Class C harassed Class D students through locker rummaging, intimidation, and interference during physical education. Horikita, Hirata, and Ayanokōji organized evidence-gathering, while students from Class B testified to the student council. 35

The school issued Class C a written reprimand, deducted 30 class points, and imposed a 500,000-private-point penalty. The harassment stopped afterward. 35

Class War

Class D entered the seven-day Class War with only 250 CP, the lowest initial allocation among the four classes. Hoshida proposed a decentralized leadership structure, resulting in Horikita as Overall Commander, Hoshida as Strategic Deputy Commander, and Hirata as Executive Deputy Commander. 36

The class relied on intelligence gathering, selective resource occupation, and cooperation with Class B. It secured the archives' hidden task, captured the Rooftop Garden, and triggered its exclusive-output bonus. 38

Class D formalized its alliance with Class B after negotiating safeguards against betrayal and explicitly excluding Class C from the non-targeting clause. 39

On the sixth day, Hoshida used more than four million personal points as collateral to obtain a temporary 1,000-CP loan for Class D. The loan carried the risk of a permanent 2,000-class-point penalty if the class failed to finish in the top two. 40

Class D chose the Shadow Game as the final battle mode after Class A failed to reach an internal consensus. It collected 1,000 CP in Secret Treasures, including the final 500-CP treasure obtained after Hoshida defeated Sakayanagi Arisu in a shogi endgame. 40

The class finished the Class War in second place with 2,100 CP, having risen from last place at the start. Hoshida ranked first in individual contribution and received 1,000,000 personal points. 40

Promotion to Class C

Following the Class War's class-point changes, Class D reached 870 points while the former Class C fell to 678. The class was officially redesignated as Class C. 42

Relationships

• Class A — A strategic rival. Class D traded intelligence with Class A during the Class War, while Sakayanagi repeatedly attempted to recruit Hoshida No. 22 39 40
• Class B — Allied with Class D during the Class War through resource sharing, intelligence exchange, and a formal contract. Ichinose defended the alliance after Ryūen attempted to create distrust. 38 39
• Class C — Primary hostile class during this period. Its harassment campaign against Class D failed after student-council intervention, and Ryūen later attempted to disrupt the B–D alliance through misinformation. 35 39
• Chabashira Sae — Homeroom teacher who sees the need for a capable leadership core within the class and supports its upward movement. 19 41
• Hoshinomiya Chie — Class B's homeroom teacher, who attempted to persuade Hoshida No to transfer away from Class D after the Class War. 41

Trivia

• Class D's first recorded monthly total was 750 class points, caused by 11 absences and 36 instances of phone use or whispering, among other deductions. 24
• Hoshida No's midterm performance alone added 50 class points through five perfect scores. 25
• During the Class War, Class D used its low starting CP as a “protective shell,” allowing other classes to underestimate it. 37
