COTE: Daily Life of Saiki K

[Interesting, this is a class where defective goods are gathered, I am perfectly clear about their academic ability, and adding to that their attitude in class during this period, it is simply impossible for them to obtain such scores.]

[That then explains, they purchased the previous year's exam questions, and realized that in this school, anything can be bought with points, didn't they?]

[It seems they are not foolish, at least among them someone possesses outstanding perception or observation skills, it looks like this class is not as trash as I imagined.]

Chabashira Sae 's lips slightly curled upwards, her gaze swept across all the students in the class.

——

Unknowingly, the time of one month since school started quickly already passed.

During this nearly two weeks' time, Chabashira Sae all along did not announce the class's results, and everyone also returned to their usual state of life, all seemed to have put this exam to the back of their minds.

"Did you receive the points transferred from the school?"

"I received them, but only about fifty thousand? Wasn't it supposed to be a hundred thousand?"

"Is it because of the exam results affecting the points? It shouldn't be, we all bought the test papers in advance and reviewed, it's impossible that so many points were deducted, right? Could it be that other classes also bought the test papers, and got even better scores than us?"

During the self-study period before class, the students were noisily discussing matters regarding points.

Looking at his nearly one hundred thousand points, Saiki's expression did not have any change.

Although the exam results would affect the class points, it was not the only factor affecting the class points, obviously, their class in other aspects had quite a lot of points deducted.

For Saiki, this was not a bad thing.

Until the last few seconds before the class bell rang, Chabashira Sae slowly arrived in the classroom.

"Teacher, are this month's points problematic?" Seeing the teacher walk in, a student raised their hand and asked.

And hearing the student's question, Chabashira Sae 's face revealed a meaningful smile, "I originally thought you all already had a certain understanding of the school's S system, in the end, was I overthinking?"

"S system? What does it mean?"

Below, the students looked at each other in confusion.

"Perhaps among you there were those who thought that the points received every month were related to the exam results, so you made preparations for this exam in advance, but..."

Chabashira Sae slightly narrowed her eyes, "The S system, in real time inspects students and calculates values, the factors involved in assessment are not only exam results alone, ninety-eight instances of lateness and absence, speaking during class and secretly using mobile phones three hundred and ninety-one times in total, these behaviors were all reflected in your points."

As Chabashira Sae 's words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire class gradually became heavy.

[No way? Every time we were late to class, and even playing with our phones, were all recorded?]

[When exactly was it recorded…..cameras? Did they record even such tiny things?]

[Wait wait wait, I thought in this school as long as you could get high scores you could do whatever you wanted...]

In the minds of everyone present, thoughts kept emerging, Saiki even felt it somewhat noisy.

'Yare yare, things like attending class on time should be obligatory for students, right.' Saiki thought this in his heart, and then cast his gaze onto Chabashira Sae.

Although Chabashira Sae seemed to be speaking mockingly about the class's prior performance, in her heart there was indeed some joy.

"Teacher, at least you should have told us in advance the detailed basis for increasing points!"

At this moment, Hirata Yosuke stood up on his own initiative and said to Chabashira Sae.

"In society it is the same, personnel evaluations also will not tell you the detailed contents of the inspection."

Chabashira Sae kept smiling on her face, "However, you should still feel fortunate, as the originally most worthless Class D, the preparations you did before the exam were still meaningful."

After speaking, Chabashira Sae picked up the marker pen on the podium and wrote lines of words and numbers on the whiteboard behind her.

[First-Year Classes Points Overview.]

[Class A 940cp]

[Class B 650cp]

[Class C 490cp]

[Class D 550cp]

"As the originally expected most worthless Class D, because of that exam, you can still have over five hundred points, it counts as worthy of celebration, I originally thought you defective goods would have your points fully deducted."

Chabashira Sae 's gaze swept one by one over the students, as if greatly enjoying the students' surprised expressions.

[Damn it.]

Saiki clearly heard a very unwilling voice coming from behind him.

The source of the voice was Horikita Suzune.

"You all discovered in advance that you could buy test papers, right? Although I don't know how you learned this information, it did indeed have an effect."

While speaking, Chabashira Sae took out a huge grade sheet and posted it on the whiteboard.

This time, the class's average score was very high, over eighty points, and Saiki with eighty-one points was in the middle, but not exactly in the center.

Seeing his own results, Saiki felt rather satisfied inside, after his careful score control, his ranking came to a position quite in line with expectations.

[It seems fifty points were still a bit too low.]

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's thoughts were transmitted into Saiki's mind, because this time the class's average score was quite high, he who only scored fifty points instead ended up in the lower rankings.

But even with the existence of test papers, that idiot trio still occupied the bottom few spots.

'Looks like it was a false alarm, Class A's points are much higher than other classes, even nearly three hundred points higher than second-place Class B, is it because they knew the school rules in advance, or because they are inherently well-behaved students?'

Saiki did not know, because he also did not have any contact with Class A before, and he also had no interest in it.

In his eyes, the more outstanding Class A was, the better it was for him, the possibility that his class would rise to Class A was relatively low, so it was less likely to attract the attention of other classes.

"According to the S system, the school will rank each class, sorted by the evaluation of class points."

Chabashira Sae slightly raised her head, the angle of her mouth's curve seemed to become even more obvious, "Congratulations to you all, successfully replacing the former Class C, becoming the current Class C, for you who were originally assessed as garbage, this is something you can feel proud of enough."

In Chabashira Sae 's words was a trace of sarcasm, but in her heart there was indeed some joy.

Her own Class D being able to rise to Class C in the first exam was also a kind of surprise to Chabashira Sae.

No matter what methods were used, as long as the desired result was obtained in the end, that was enough.

"We have risen to Class C?"

"So ABCD were class rankings? I didn't even know…wait, if we were originally Class D, weren't we in last place?"

"Then we've risen by one place, not bad!"

As Chabashira Sae 's words were spoken, the students in the classroom immediately began to discuss heatedly, there were indeed quite a few students who truly felt happy.

[Why, why was I assigned to Class D?]

And at this moment, Saiki could hear extremely clearly Horikita Suzune's heart filled with dissatisfaction.

[Since the ranking is determined according to students' abilities, based on my entrance exam results, I should not have been assigned to Class D…..]

[These hopeless guys, they actually feel smug for rising to Class C?]

[Even if it's Class C, it is only second from last…..No matter what, I must rise to Class A, I absolutely must follow in my brother's footsteps.]

Unlike the completely different emotions of the other students, in Horikita Suzune's heart there was only unwillingness, her desire to raise the class level was much stronger than the others'.

"Look at you all, merely rising to Class C, you are so overjoyed to this degree?"

Chabashira Sae paused a bit, the smile on her face did not disappear, as if she was full of expectations for the students' reactions, "You can be a little happy for now, but don't forget, the class points will change, and the next assessment is next month's midterm exam, once the points are overtaken, you will return to being that Class D with no difference from defective goods."

'Teacher seems to always look down on Class D, but aren't you yourself also Class D's teacher?' Saiki inwardly complained.

"The next midterm exam, the class with the best results can get one hundred points, but in the official exam, there is also a rule."

"From the next exam onward, anyone who fails the midterm or final exam will be immediately expelled."

Almost everyone present, their expressions in that instant became heavy.

"Official exams lead to expulsion…really?"

"Is it possible the teacher said it on purpose to scare us."

"I…I don't know."

Hearing Chabashira Sae 's words, all the students present began discussing.

But this news, for Saiki, was not anything significant, because on the first day of school he already knew this rule existed.

"I hope that in the next exam, you all can at least hold onto this Class C position." Chabashira Sae said smiling.

After this class ended, Chabashira Sae directly left the classroom, the previously heavy atmosphere did not ease much.

Although this time they got results surpassing Class D, after learning that in the future, any student failing an exam would cause expulsion, almost everyone's shoulders gradually became heavy.

Except for a few.

"Regardless of other things, we still have to thank you! Kushida-san!"

After class, Ike Kanji quickly walked to Kushida Kikyo's front and expressed gratitude.

[I can talk to Kushida-san again!]

'Talking to Kushida is your real goal, right.' Reading Ike Kanji's thoughts, Saiki retorted in his heart.

In a certain sense, he also felt some gratitude toward Ike Kanji and Sudo Ken, if not for them always not paying attention during class and still getting low scores even with the test papers, perhaps their class might have directly risen to Class B, which although less conspicuous than Class A, would certainly still attract the wariness of the two classes behind.

'But to still get such scores even after knowing the test papers in advance, in a sense that is also impressive…'

Saiki complained inwardly, Ike Kanji and the others still firmly occupied the bottom three places, 'Although staying in Class D while keeping enough points is the best choice, because in that case fewer classes will regard us as a thorn in their eye, rising to Class C for now can also be accepted, counts as a not bad result.'

Saiki let out a sigh of relief. According to what he knew, the first month in this school was the most critical period for ratings, equivalent to giving each class an initial score, the impact of later exams on class points would not be as great as this first month's rating.

If later they didn't fall back to Class D but stayed in Class C, it would still be acceptable.

Anyway, Saiki had no intention of climbing upwards, staying in the back was the best.

"Although next month there's the midterm exam, for today we barely passed, right!"

"Shall we hold a celebration party tonight?"

"I think it's good, um, Ayanokoji, do you want to come too?"

At this time, Ike Kanji turned his head, looking at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka beside him who seemed to be spacing out, and asked.

[That Ayanokoji also had bottom scores, same as us worthless ones! We should huddle together for warmth!]

'First time seeing someone who can so proudly call themselves worthless in their heart.'
