Capítulo 7: The Class
Arisu Sakayanagi POV
"Hello, Class. From this day forward, I will be your homeroom teacher." The man standing at the front of the classroom introduced himself as Tomonari Mashima-sensei, the homeroom teacher of Class-A, the one tasked with overseeing and guiding us throughout the academic year.
He was the teacher responsible for our class, and from his calm, composed demeanor, it was clear he carried the weight of this role with pride.
Unlike many of the other teachers in this school, who seem to suffer from severe mental issues, pursue personal agendas, and display selfish tendencies, Mashima-sensei is said to be a rare example of a good and virtuous teacher—someone we can trust in a school like this.
At least, that's what the canon states.
Whether he'll remain true to that image in reality, upholding his moral standards and earning my trust, is something I'll be keeping a close eye on.
For now, I'll observe and see if he truly lives up to this supposed reputation.
After introducing himself, Mashima-sensei didn't just stop at his name. He proceeded to hand out the guidelines and rules of the school, which we were expected to follow. He also took the opportunity to explain the point system, which was a vital part of our school life here.
Unlike the reaction of Class-D, which was akin to a group of poor individuals who had never seen the world or money, our class—while clearly excited—responded with more composure. The point system, which could essentially be used to purchase anything, along with the generous initial funding of 100,000 yen, sparked interest among us.
To put it in perspective, this amount of money was more than enough for a month's worth of comfortable meals, assuming one managed their finances wisely.
Of course, this calculation didn't account for rent or other external expenses, but fortunately, the school had already covered those costs, including electricity, water, and all other living expenses for the students.
In that sense, 100,000 yen was quite a substantial amount, especially when compared to the average wage of a Japanese worker, although it was considered below average for them.
Still, for students, it felt like a luxury.
To break it down, if someone were to cook homemade meals for themselves, they would only need to spend between 30,000 to 45,000 yen per month. On the other hand, fast food or restaurant meals would cost around 50,000 to 70,000 yen. So, if my classmates were smart enough to avoid spending their points on fast food or dining out excessively, we could potentially have an extra 55,000 to 70,000 points to spend on other things.
You can imagine how shocking this amount of money must have been for them, especially considering the average pocket money for a typical student is only around 5,000 to 10,000 yen. Even students from wealthy families usually receive about 10,000 to 20,000 yen in allowance. Yet, on the very first day of arriving at this school, we were given such an enormous sum of money.
The temptation to spend it lavishly is undeniably strong, as any typical adolescent would likely be enticed by the idea of treating it like a fixed monthly income.
However, let's not forget: this is Class-A. Most of the students here possess a level of common sense and intelligence that prevents them from blindly trusting anything handed to them on a silver platter.
Even though they were clearly excited, they showed remarkable restraint, not disrupting the order of the class or interrupting the teacher.
Tomonari Mashima-sensei seemed quite satisfied with the discipline and composure displayed by our class, nodding in approval as he surveyed the room.
"Is there any question that you want to ask regarding school rules or points, students?" the teacher asked.
"I have a question, teacher. Will the amount of points we get be the same as what the school gave us on the first day?" I raised my hand, taking initiative before anyone else could.
This not only gave people the impression of my assertive nature, but it also painted me as a reliable figure in the class. I didn't know whether the bald guy, who will be part of Arisu's rival faction in the canon, would take initiative, but I wouldn't let him or anyone else become the center of attention in the class.
It must be me, and only me, who takes the lead—no one else.
"Good question, but I can't answer that for you, Sakayanagi-san," the teacher spoke sternly.
"Is this related to the school rules?" I pressed further.
"How many points do we need to get the confirmation, teacher?"
"200,000 points." Tomonari Mashima-sensei replied without hesitation, revealing the price to uncover the rules of the school, which confirmed that we could buy anything within the confines of the school as long as we had enough points. The question now was: is there anyone in the school who prostituted themselves when desperate for points? Is that even allowed? These thoughts were worth pondering, but not worth bringing up in front of the class, as my reputation would be tarnished if I asked such a twisted question.
"Ahem, in that case, teacher, I will take the initiative to donate 50,000 points for the question if anyone is willing to buy it." The bald guy hurriedly interjected, clearly fearing that I was about to dominate the class by raising this issue and naming the price.
However, I didn't voice my opinion or show interest in their conversation.
I didn't have the same insecurities as that bald guy. Let him win this round and enjoy the attention while I relaxed and watched everything unfold.
More and more classmates began raising their hands, signaling their willingness to donate points—myself included. In the end, the bald guy stood out, donating 50,000 points, while the rest only contributed minor amounts.
After confirming that the class was willing to purchase the information, the teacher began to explain what the S-system was about and how it functioned. Additionally, he confirmed that the issue regarding the monthly income for the class was not fixed, but rather depended on how the class behaved and the points they earned from it.
Now that the point issues were addressed, Class-A no longer had concerns about the school's point-spending system, while I began to formulate a plan to maximize the benefits of this newfound information to the fullest extent.
I must give thanks to the bald guy who was willing to spend all his money on obtaining the information, even though he clearly didn't know how to properly utilize it.
While everyone seemed content with what they had, unbeknownst to them, this information could easily be sold to other classes. However, I had no intention of sharing this knowledge with anyone and was determined to squeeze the maximum profit out of it for myself.
Still, I would not be the one to sell it directly. Without a doubt, doing so would cause my reputation to take a severe hit. Yet, I already knew who would be desperate enough to act as my scapegoat, someone who would be willing to sell the information for me without raising suspicion.
I grinned inwardly as I listened to the class, already envisioning the outcome of my plan.
...
For your information, I wasn't dropped. I was so immersed and focused on writing another story in a different account that it completely consumed my attention. It was difficult for me to write two stories simultaneously while being so deeply invested in one of them. It became jarring, uninteresting, and not immersive when trying to writing both.
To avoid this, I've decided to restrain myself. Instead of impulsively starting a new story when I get bored with another, I'll continue the one I'm currently working on.
Based on the last vote I checked, it seems you have no interest in adding a chat group or simulator life to the story. Therefore, I won't include them.
Now, let's vote on the MC's sexual orientation. Should she only be interested in girls, or do you prefer a bisexual? Or perhaps you'd like a third option: bisexual, but with a preference for femboys, traps, and futanari, while also being attracted to girls? What do you think?
