Class B

Biodata

Class Profile

Background / History

Class B begins the school year as a harmonious but inexperienced group. Its students initially expect the academy's advertised benefits to provide a secure future, but Bai Mu's warning about hidden conduct assessments prompts the entire class to become unusually careful in class, avoiding violations that would deduct class points collectively. 5 6

Ichinose quickly establishes herself as the class's leader by sharing information, calming anxieties, and organizing a collective point-saving plan. She reveals that guaranteed advancement and employment are privileges reserved for Class A graduates, while twenty million personal points can either nullify an expulsion-level penalty or purchase a direct transfer to Class A. 6

As the class learns more about the academy's competition, it adopts a cautious survival strategy. Its initial 1.2 million-point reserve is protected for future emergencies, while Bai Mu raises more aggressive possibilities: recruiting talent from other classes or paying for others to assume expulsion penalties. Ichinose resists the latter idea on moral grounds, creating a recurring divide between Class B's ideals and the school's ruthlessness. 14

Bai Mu later secures one month of exclusive real-time surveillance access to the classrooms of all four first-year classes for 150,000 personal points. Ichinose supports using the asset to raise funds and protect Class B, offering to negotiate with the other classes and transferring Bai Mu one million personal points toward the arrangement. 23 24

Class Characteristics

Cohesion and Discipline

Class B rapidly responds to collective-risk information. After learning that individual misconduct can reduce the entire class's points, all forty students become highly attentive during lessons, avoiding chatting, phone use, and other potential violations. 5 6

• Students are generally cooperative and receptive to Ichinose's leadership. 6 11
• The class favors preserving resources and protecting every member over high-risk internal competition. 14
• Its cooperative atmosphere contrasts with Class C's violence and Class D's disorder. 14 20

Balanced Talent Distribution

Unlike the other first-year classes, Class B is not built around extreme specialists or major liabilities. Its students have steady, moderately above-average profiles across academic, physical, and social evaluations. 11

• Compared with Class A — Class B has fewer exceptional geniuses and less entrenched advantage. 11
• Compared with Class C — Class B avoids Class C's extreme split between physically dominant delinquents and academically capable but physically weak students. 11
• Compared with Class D — Class B has far fewer severe academic, physical, and social deficiencies. 11

Intelligence and Resource Management

Bai Mu becomes Class B's most important source of strategic intelligence. He identifies hidden point deductions, obtains confidential student records across multiple cohorts, and develops plans to monetize surveillance access while monitoring rival classes. 5 7 24

• Hidden conduct assessments are shared with the class early, helping it avoid initial point losses. 5 6
• Complete student data allows Bai Mu to assess the strengths, weaknesses, and concealed talents of the other classes. 7 11
• Classroom surveillance access can expose rival strategies, rule violations, and internal conflicts. 23 24
• Class B intends to rent access to other classes while retaining its own intelligence advantage. 24

Key Members

• Ichinose Honami — Class leader; unites the class, manages morale, gathers intelligence, and prioritizes collective security. 5 6 14
• Bai Mu — Class B's foremost analyst and all-around powerhouse; supplies crucial rule intelligence, gathers student data, and secures surveillance access. 4 5 7 23 24
• Kanzaki Ryuji — Ichinose's reliable lieutenant and the class's most pragmatic strategist; supports harsher survival measures when necessary. 14
• Shibata Hayate — An enthusiastic Class B student and avid supporter of Bai Mu after witnessing his achievements. 2 6 14
• Hoshinomiya Chie — Class B's homeroom teacher; assists Bai Mu's access to internal files and wants Class B to suppress Class D. 7 19

Relationships

• Class A — Primary upper-tier rival. Class A alone receives guaranteed advancement and employment benefits, giving Class B a strong incentive to challenge its position. 5 6
• Class C — Major external threat. Class B expects Ryuuen Kakeru's violent class to target them as the most approachable opponent. 14 20
• Class D — A lower-ranked but unstable rival class. Bai Mu and Hoshinomiya both recognize that its collapse would likely redirect Class C's pressure toward Class B. 19 22
• Student Council — Grants Bai Mu limited surveillance access after rejecting his request for access to the entire campus system. 20 23
• Hoshinomiya Chie — Homeroom teacher and conditional ally who seeks Class B's cooperation in preventing Class D's rise. 19

Trivia

• Class B contains forty first-year students. 6
• Bai Mu was reportedly assigned to Class B despite ranking second in the entrance examination; Sakayanagi Arisu claims prejudice against foreign students lowered his placement from the Class A tier. 10 11
• The class's greatest advantage—its compassion and unity—is also presented as a possible liability against competitors willing to exploit people and rules without hesitation. 14
