Class B

V1: Chapter 5

Since Ichinose hadn't asked about the points yesterday, I'm presuming she would ask today. Her theory was of course, correct. I figured out the system behind the school in quite a short amount of time. A day wasn't even necessary. A couple of hours give or take.

I checked the time on my phone and I was five minutes from being late to homeroom. I didn't run since there wasn't a need to, but I was the last to arrive in class, around 10 seconds before the bell went.

"Right on time Ayanokouji-kun~." Sensei said as I took my seat.

"I like to be punctual," I responded.

I glanced over at Ichinose and she nodded, I, of course, nodded back.

"Sensei, before homeroom starts, I have a question," Ichinose said, raising her hand.

"Go for it~."

"I was planning on asking this yesterday, but it slipped my mind. Can you please elaborate on the S-System, sensei? Ayanokouji-kun and I believe there's something deeper than what you've told us." She said. Well worded.

I saw a small light in Sensei's eyes as soon as Ichinose asked the question.

"I don't have permission to answer than Ichinose-Chan~." She replied.

Ichinose looked over at me but I gave her a look that said, 'Push it on'.

"Why can't you sensei?" She asked. As of now, the whole classroom was exchanging looks between Ichinose, Sensei, and me, most definitely confused with no clue what was going on.

"Because I'm not permitted to Ichinose-Chan~." Ichinose was about to say something else, but I stood up.

"Then Sensei, you said it on the first day, right? You even emphasized it. Anything can be bought on campus, am I right?" She nodded, "So, sell me all the information about the S System."

The class breathing hitched for a moment as silence surrounded everything.

"I would happily say yes Ayanokouji-kun, but it seems that private points won't be enough for this information."

This is all I needed.

"That's alright Sensei, then, can I buy 15 minutes of homeroom?" I asked.

"That'll be 15,000 points." I sent her the points required and went to the front, motioning to Ichinose that she should also follow me to the front. Obviously, she followed. Sensei stayed to the side with a small smile plastered on her face.

"I have 15 minutes, so I'll make the most of it." I started, "Ichinose and I spent a while thinking about the system. Our conclusion was that there is a hierarchy in our school," Confused looks buzzed around the room.

"Ranked from D being the worst to A being the best. Whilst Ichinose and I were out shopping for necessities, we happened to come by upperclassmen picking on a first-year, who happened to be in class d. From just the first-years' attitude and impulsiveness, the upperclassmen deciphered that he was a member of class d. This brought on questions from us of course. The classes are supposed to be random right? That's what we are used to but it's not. Every person was put in a class of the schools choosing through certain elements."

"Aside from that, there were also hints given out about other factors of the system, Ichinose, if you would," I said, taking a step back, allowing her to enter her spotlight.

"At first, I thought 100,000 points was a crazy amount of money to give to a high-school student as a monthly allowance. Then, whilst shopping, we saw items labeled as 'free'. It was the first of the month and there were most definitely upperclassmen buying them. But if we received 100,000 every month what would be the need to take free items?" She asked.

"In addition," I continued, "In the cafeteria, I spotted upperclassmen eating the free vegetable lunch set. Again, if we received 100,000 every month, why would someone be eating a free, abysmal, lunch set? There's no logic behind it. In other words, they didn't receive the 100,000 points."

"So, we have a feeling that the 100,000 points given this month, won't be the same next month." She said, "Sensei also never said that we would be getting 100,000 next month. She said, 'The points have been allocated for this month', emphasizing the 'this'. Could it be another hint that we won't be getting 100,000?"

"Anyways, our time is nearly up," I said, checking my phone, "Just don't spend your points carelessly I guess. Sensei said that we can't buy the information with just private points so there is probably another set of points. Class points are my biggest guess. Since this school is about merit, I suggest not falling asleep in class-," I looked over at Shibata, who looked away from me, "and don't go on your phones or do anything you shouldn't. That's all. Thank you for your time." I said, bowing slightly.

"Thank's guys!" Ichinose's bright personality practically blinded my eyes. She's too positive. Good on her though. If I could smile like that constantly 24/7, I think I'd take the chance to.

"They are so gonna get together in the future," Amikura said out loud, gaining the attention of the rest of the class, who just so happened to agree with her.

I glanced over at Ichinose whose face was extremely red with her hands failing to cover her cheeks completely.

"Sensei, I'd like to buy five more minutes of this lesson so everyone can continue to tease Ichinose. She's very cute when flustered." I said, doing the transaction of points.

"E-Eh?!" She exclaimed, burying her head into her desk and blocking her ears.

"You've only known each other three days, was it love at first sight?"

"He even called you cute~! That must have gotten your heart racing."

"Kiyonami!" Everyone turned to Amikura in silence once they blurted out of her mouth. Everyone, including myself, gave her weird, questioning looks. The only one that understood was Sensei apparently because she gave a very approving nod to the term 'kiyonami'.

"What~?" She said, dragging out the what, "It's my ship name for them two. Kiyotaka and Honami merged together. Kiyonami. " She looked at everyone, giving them a 'duhhhh' face.

I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to tease the girl beside me. She was looking up, questioning Amikura, so I leaned closer to her and spoke loud enough for the whole classroom to hear,

"Kiyonami has a nice ring to it, doesn't it, Honami?"
