Rank, Evaluation and Privileges
Class A is the highest position in Advanced Nurturing High School's real-time ranking system. The A–D labels are not ordinary homeroom divisions: they reflect a class's overall strength and annual standing. 3
- Class A receives the greatest resource allocation and the highest margin for error, resulting in the fewest expulsions among the four classes. 3
- The school's evaluations consider more than grades, including physical fitness, temperament, emotional intelligence, and strategic ability. 10
- Only students who graduate while remaining in Class A receive the school's advertised guarantees of elite-university admission and direct recommendations to leading companies. 5 6
- Class Points determine class ranking and monthly Personal Point distributions; one Class Point corresponds to 100 Personal Points per month. 5

History
The school’s upper-grade rosters reveal a consistent pattern: Class A retains more students than the lower-ranked classes, while Classes B through D suffer progressively greater attrition and expulsion pressure. 3
Although Bai Mu ranked second overall in the first-year entrance evaluation, Sakayanagi Arisu states that school management deliberately reduced his comprehensive assessment and placed him in Class B rather than the Class A tier because he was an exchange student from China. 10 11
During the first month, Bai Mu obtained exclusive real-time surveillance access to the four first-year classrooms. He planned to offer Class A access first, reasoning that its students would pay to protect their classroom privacy rather than to evade behavioral deductions. 23 24
A recording of Class A students dismissing Classes C and D as inferior was later played to Class C by Ryuuen Kakeru, provoking anger and humiliation among its members. 25
Relationships
- Sakayanagi Arisu — First-Year Class A student and the class's foremost known genius; she considers Bai Mu her only worthy freshman opponent. 9 10
- Manabu Horikita — Third-Year Class A student and student council president; recognized as one of the school's strongest and most complete students. 11 12
- Bai Mu — A Class B student whom Sakayanagi claims was unfairly denied Class A placement; he later targets Class A as the first potential customer for his surveillance-access scheme. 10 24
- Class B — A competing class. Bai Mu warns that Class A's superior resources could allow it to purchase Ichinose Honami away from Class B and undermine its cohesion. 14
- Class C — Class A students openly disparage Class C as undisciplined and inferior, fueling Class C's resentment. 25
