Chapter 34: Arrogant and Unaware.

After the mid-class drama ended, the class returned to calm, sort of.

This was when Hirata Yosuke needed to step in. And Hirata didn't disappoint. After Ike sat down, he immediately asked Chabashira a question.

"Chabashira-sensei, about the important matter you mentioned earlier."

"Don't rush, Hirata. We're getting to the main point now."

Chabashira-sensei took out a thick white paper from the poster tube in her hand, spread it out, and pinned it to the blackboard with magnets.

However, most students couldn't understand what it was and looked confused.

But Hirata, who had been tipped off by Kanda Shuichi, understood almost instantly.

It was something they had discussed but hadn't concluded - class evaluation.

"Is this our evaluation?"

Looking at the glaring zero for Class D, Hirata's tone was very bitter.

"Yes, this represents your evaluation among students," Chabashira Sae confirmed, nodding. "Class A: 940 points, Class B: 750 points, Class C: 490 points, Class D: 0 points."

Class D, 0 points. This seemed to hit everyone hard.

"It's really neatly arranged."

Looking at these points, Kanda Shuichi mercilessly mocked.

"Why do other classes still have points?"

Even at this point, there were still clueless idiots questioning.

Kanda Shuichi didn't hold back, mocking them. Making fun of idiots was too fun. I love how you can't stand me but can't do anything about it. It's hilarious.

"Idiot, don't you get it? Chabashira-sensei explained clearly how Class D's points were deducted to zero."

Seeing their slightly changed expressions, Kanda Shuichi's face was full of joy.

"Yes, whether it's being late, leaving early, or talking and using phones in class, it all causes point deductions. Other classes made fewer mistakes, so they naturally kept some points. Is that clear?"

"Yes, Kanda is right. The school was completely fair in this evaluation. All classes were scored by the same rules this month. Yet, there's such a big difference in points. This is reality."

"But why... is there such a big gap in points?"

Hirata also noticed the mystery hidden in the posted paper. The point gap was too neat.

"Are you starting to understand why you were placed in Class D?"

"The reason we were put in Class D? Wasn't it just random?"

"Yeah, isn't that how classes are usually assigned in school?"

Not only Hirata, but other students also had confused expressions. The difference was that Hirata was pretending, while the others genuinely didn't understand.

"This school assigns classes based on students' abilities: the best students go to Class A, and the useless ones go to Class D.

Simply put, compared to other classes, the students in Class D are defective products. Congratulations, you got the evaluation that trash deserves."

This extreme class assignment rule was hard for most Class D students to accept, so almost everyone fell silent.

"But to deduct all your points in just one month, even among past Class D students, you're the first. I'm actually impressed by you. Amazing, really amazing."

Chabashira-sensei's deliberate clapping sounded like slaps on each student's face.

"...So, we're going to be looked down upon by others from now on?"

Where there are people, there are class divisions, so Class D would naturally become the lowest among all students, and being looked down upon was normal.

"What, Sudou? Even you care about face? Then work hard to raise the class rank."

"Huh?"

"Class points are not just linked to the monthly deposit. These points directly reflect the class ranking."

Mean, too mean, this sensei. Is this your revenge on me?

Anyway...

What does it matter to me? I even find it a bit funny. Whether I move up to Class A or not doesn't matter to me.

"Pfft..."

Kanda Shuichi laughed out loud.

"What's so funny? Aren't you also a defective product like us?"

Ike Kanji, who had just gained some popularity from kneeling, immediately stood up to challenge Kanda Shuichi.

"That's right, I admit I'm a defective product, but I know my own problems. Unlike you, who don't even know your own flaws. It's really pathetic."

"What did you say?"

"Do I need to remind you? On the second or third day of school, during the morning meeting, Hirata kindly asked you all to follow the student rules and enjoy school life as a normal student."

Kanda Shuichi's words brought back memories for the students, but most of them looked confused because they hadn't taken it to heart and couldn't remember.

"At that time, each of you thought you were some big shot and didn't take Hirata's words seriously. No, not only did you not take it seriously, but you also violated school rules even more afterward. During class, those who didn't respect the teacher and made loud noises, wasn't that you, Ike Kanji?"

Hirata's foresight and his image of considering the class were established.

And Kanda Shuichi had his fill of talking.

Honestly, bullying these idiots didn't bring much satisfaction, just a bit of joy.

"So, Hirata, why didn't you say it directly back then?"

Hirata's girlfriend, Karuizawa Kei, now directed the topic to Hirata, which was what Kanda Shuichi needed.

Hirata, if you don't stand up now, I'll really become the enemy of the whole class.

Hirata could only smile bitterly and stand up.

"Actually, I planned to guide everyone step by step. Everyone was so excited at that time, even if I told everything. I knew, everyone wouldn't have believed it."

As it turned out, that was true. They couldn't even fulfill their basic duties as students, like not being late or leaving early, and paying attention in class. They even deliberately went against Hirata.

If this had been forced on them, the class would have exploded.

In the end, most people in Class D were arrogant and unaware of it.

Kanda Shuichi wanted to ask them, is it so hard to admit someone else's excellence?

"Then, why didn't Chabashira-sensei tell us?"

"Chabashira-sensei was also given a silent order. At that time, I went to see Chabashira-sensei with Kanda and Miyake, but unfortunately, sensei couldn't intervene directly."

The class fell silent again. Even those who were unwilling had to accept this regrettable and harsh reality.
