History
Initial Ranking
Class D's poor position becomes clear when the first monthly class-point results are announced. It receives only 70 class points and 7,000 personal points per student, prompting shock among the higher-ranked classes. Class A students, including Yahiko, repeatedly treat the result as confirmation that Class D is filled with inferior students. 4 5 8 9
Sudo's Expulsion Crisis
During the midterm period, rumors spread that Sudo failed a subject and faces expulsion. Horikita approaches Hoshinomiya Rinyu for aid, and he lends 200,000 points to prevent Sudo's removal. Sudo later thanks him directly, showing greater humility after the crisis. 7
Fight Investigation
A later fight between Sudo and three Class C students puts Class D under renewed pressure. The school tentatively concludes that Sudo initiated the conflict and bullied the others, while Sudo maintains that he was lured into it. The unresolved investigation causes the school to withhold personal points from the entire first-year grade. 8 9
With Class B unable to locate witnesses, Kushida and Ayanokoji ask Hoshinomiya to check whether anyone in Class A saw the incident. Every Class A student denies being present. Hoshinomiya instead identifies Sakura Airi's unusually frightened reaction as a possible lead and directs Kushida, Ayanokoji, and Horikita to speak with her. 9 10
Relationships
- Class A — Class D is widely disparaged by Class A students as a class of “defective products”; however, Hoshinomiya Rinyu lends points to Sudo and later investigates the fight case at Class D's request. 5 7 9 10
- Class B — Ichinose Honami and Class B are asked to search for witnesses to Sudo's fight, but none of their students passed through the relevant area. 9
- Class C — Class C students accuse Sudo of initiating a fight; Ryuen Kakeru uses the crisis to provoke Class D and challenge Class A's involvement. 9
- Hoshinomiya Rinyu — An outside benefactor and investigator who provides Sudo with a 200,000-point loan and follows the lead connected to Sakura. 7 10
Major Arcs
- Monthly Point Revelation — Class D's 70 class points expose the severity of its disadvantage within the school's hierarchy. 4
- Library Conflict — Sudo clashes with Horikita over academics, then is further provoked by Yahiko's insult toward Class D. 5
- Midterm Expulsion Crisis — Sudo is threatened with expulsion but receives financial help through Horikita's arrangement with Hoshinomiya. 7
- Sudo Fight Case — Class D seeks witnesses and outside cooperation after Sudo is accused of attacking Class C students; Sakura becomes a potential key to the truth. 8 9 10
