The S-System

3rd person POV

"How can we trust them? What if it's not true?"

Hirata: Calm down everyone. Sensei can we get some time to sort this issue out ?

Sensei : Sure, take your time

Hirata : Thanks, so Ayanokoji and Horikita how are you guys so sure about the S-System.

Horikita explained, "It's simple: a system creates a hierarchy, and in a hierarchy, the ones at the top get the most benefits. The S-System should tell us how to reach the top. If we can figure it out, maybe we could earn more points. Think about it-like in a company, the best employees make the most money. If we play our cards right, we could earn 400,000 points, don't you think, Ayanokoji?"

Horikita then looks at Ayanokoji and winks at him.

Ayanokoji understood her message and played along.

Ayanokoji said, "Here's the logic: if Class D gets 100,000 points, then Class C probably gets 200,000, Class B 300,000, and Class A 400,000. Since the competition is monthly, if we do better than Class C next time, we could earn 200,000 points, which means the risk could actually turn into a gain. It's risky, but the payoff could be huge."

Horikita nodded. "But keep in mind, it's just a theory."

After hearing their reasoning, the class settled down and began considering what they could do with the extra points.

"Sounds reasonable."

"Yeah, they might be onto something."

"Think of all the games we could buy!"

"Or the clothes!"

With the promise of more points, everyone agreed to transfer their 100,000 points to Sensei. As the transfers rolled in, Sensei smiled to herself.

This class fell for it so easily. I'm seriously impressed by Horikita and Ayanokoji, Sensei thought.

Sensei checked her phone to see the influx of points. Some students hesitated, unsure if they should send the points, but eventually, everyone did.

Once all the points were transferred, Sensei began explaining the system.

The S-System is a comprehensive evaluation system where every action a student takes affects their class's standing-either positively or negatively. If a student behaves poorly, it results in a deduction of class points. If they act positively, their class earns points for that month. The final score is influenced by things like test results, behavior, attendance, and other criteria expected of a proper student. The most a class can earn is 1,000 class points, which translates to 100,000 private points per month.Horikita's theory about the hierarchy was right. Class rankings can change monthly based on the number of points each class accumulates. The truth is, all the benefits and promises this school offers apply only to Class A. Class D, often labeled as "defective" or "worthless," gets none of these perks. On the other hand, Class A is where the best students are-the future leaders of Japan.To ensure students behave appropriately, the classroom is monitored by cameras that record every minute of the school day. If the cameras catch students engaging in anything that isn't "elegant," points are deducted. This is why there are over 10 hidden cameras in this classroom alone.
