Horikita's grades were excellent. Once she transferred into their class, she became number one in Academic Ability.
But now she had no choice but to return to Class D.
So Ryuen's class had lost a major asset.
However.
The electronic display lit up, and the first thing everyone saw was the evaluation scores of the four classes.
Second-year Class A (Sakayanagi's class): 2270 points Second Year Class B (Ryuen's class): 1975 points Second-year Class C (Ichinose's class): 1508.1 points Second Year Class D (Hirata's class): 205.7 points
"This is the current state of the four classes."
"For our class, we're only one or two exam victories away from Class A." Sakagami-sensei tried to fire everyone up.
"Then," Ryuen suddenly said from his seat, "are this month's exam points enough for us to overtake them in one go?"
"No." Sakagami-sensei shook his head regretfully. "For this written exam, every class will have both rewards and penalties."
"The average score of the entire grade will be used as the benchmark. If the average score of the students participating in the exam exceeds the grade standard, the class will receive a reward of 50 points."

But there was nothing to be done about such a fundamental weakness. It could not be made up for in
