Real teaching, but diary flow

What does "the chairman's big hand" mean?

My father is not that kind of person.

Almost the instant she saw the conjecture in the diary, Sakayanagi Arisu wanted to refute it.

But after suppressing the urge to refute and continuing to look down, she began to waver.

If, if everything is as the diary says, and Ichinose Honami is a person without any flaws, then there is indeed no reason why she would be assigned to Class B instead of Class A.

...If that's the case, then from the perspective of the diary, his conjecture is reasonable.

If it weren't for knowing her father's character well, even with the same information, Sakayanagi Arisu felt she would have had the same thought.

Sakayanagi Arisu was actually very reluctant to admit the plausibility of this speculation, but...

No, we cannot be too sure that what he said is accurate.

I don't know much about Honami Ichinose, and I haven't even met her in person yet. It's unreasonable to believe that she is really that perfect based solely on what I read in her diary.

She must have some kind of 'flaw' that only the school knows about.

and......

Looking down, Arisu Sakayanagi's gaze settled on the 'information that can be released at this stage'.

The text mentions a single-parent family, a child who is not an only child, and seemingly unrelated words that hint at something, such as Ichinose Honami's younger sister.

Sakayanagi Arisu felt this was a hint.

The most common problem in single-parent families is the psychological issues caused by the absence of a father figure.

Similarly, families with multiple children also experience unequal treatment.

With both factors combined, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't believe that Ichinose Honami wasn't mentally ill!

"Excessive self-repression...?" Sakayanagi Arisu murmured to herself, her fingertips tracing the pages.

That's right. Although the diary doesn't explicitly say it, Sakayanagi Arisu feels that he is implying that beneath Ichinose Honami's glamorous exterior lies extreme repression of herself and her personal emotions.

Perhaps it was with this in mind that her father chose to put her in Class B instead of Class A.

--wrong.

It wasn't the class assigned by my father!

I almost got led astray. Why should the father be doing the work of classifying students?

Humph.

With a soft hum, Sakayanagi Arisu closed her diary and picked up her cane.

In any case, find an opportunity to meet with Ichinose Honami, and you'll probably be able to figure something out.

......

"Hmm..."

My head hurts a little.

Horikita Suzune didn't sleep well last night.

It wasn't the plan for everyone to get zero points that made her excited and disappointed, nor was it because she had compiled her analysis and understanding of the diary and sent it to Kikyo Kushida.

She simply hadn't slept well.

July is almost here, and the final exams will be coming up soon.

She was subtly, with a slight anxiety.

Her academic performance has always been her most outstanding achievement, and it was this high score, achieved through hard work day and night, that led her to mistakenly believe that she had caught up with her brother.

But recently, she has begun to reduce the frequency of her studies and has started to aimlessly search for other talents that belong to her.

Although she found nothing, she still didn't make any friends other than Kikyo Kushida.

But her grades have also dropped!

During the midterm exams, I was able to maintain my level thanks to my past accumulation of knowledge, and I was also able to focus on reviewing thanks to the study sessions organized by the class.

But after more than a month, she was starting to feel the strain.

While they certainly won't fall to the same level as those people in the mountains, it will naturally be difficult to maintain their position at the top.

This is what she is anxious about.

Should I let my grades slip away, or should I seize the remaining time and desperately try to maintain them?

This is a very difficult question to answer.

To truly grow, she must change her mindset of focusing solely on studying, which ultimately only leads to the 'bad habit' of studying.

But if, in this way, even the last fig leaf of academic performance is gone, then...

How am I supposed to face my brother?

"..."

"Splash—"

The sound of a page turning, like a notification, interrupted Horikita Suzune's anxiety.

The diary has been updated? So early today.

The girl was somewhat surprised, but she still patted her cheeks, got up and sat down at the table, and gently opened her diary.

She first saw the contents of the diary, and then she saw the comments that prompted the diary to be updated continuously.

She remained silent, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Horikita Suzune had always been a little concerned about the reason why she was assigned to Class D.

She acknowledges that she has certain flaws and that she is quite inadequate in social situations.

However, strong academic ability should make up for this.

...She would accept any assignment as long as it wasn't in Class D.

But it's a defective product, and it's in Class D.

Horikita Suzune had been deliberately trying to ignore this matter, but now it seems...

The students were all randomly assigned by the school.

Even Ichinose Honami wasn't assigned to Class A, so it's not surprising that she was assigned to Class D.

If she had a chairman of the board like Arisu Sakayanagi, she would definitely be in Class A.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about such trivial matters anymore.

Whether or not Sakayanagi Arisu has any connection is irrelevant; no amount of emphasizing or repeating it will change the existing facts.

Go to class.

Before finding a direction, let's stabilize our grades first.

Horikita Suzune decided to protect the last fig leaf first.

......

Perhaps because he had been writing in his diary continuously, or perhaps because he had written in the early hours of the morning, the settlement time was slightly delayed. After waiting for several minutes without hearing the settlement, Asakusa Tetsu prioritized maintaining his healthy routine.

He only heard the belated sound the next day when the sun was shining brightly.

[Today's record completed, this record is rated 'C', currently drawing rewards]

[Draw successful! Congratulations on obtaining the item 'Girlish Filter']

With a slight thought, a seemingly ordinary hanging lens fell into Asakusa Tetsu's hands.

Asakusa Toru closed his eyes and started playing the 'demo animation'.

He quickly learned how to use the lens.

【Name: Moe-fication Filter】

Category: Props

[Effect: A magical lens that allows you to see a different side of others]

[Note: "Everyone here is a beautiful girl!"]

As the name suggests, a feminization filter is a filter that transforms the gender of others into that of a woman in front of you.

Once you put on these lenses, any man you see through them will be distorted into the appearance of a beautiful girl.

Of course, this only applies to how it looks under filters.

In reality, things will be as they are, after all, this is just a C-level prop, just a lens.

If we're talking about usefulness, then it's extremely useful; it's incredibly useful for pleasing the eye.

If you say it's useless, then it really is useless. Soon, when AI develops, you can easily generate gender-swapped photos just by taking a picture, so there's no need for this filter.

However... the thought of seeing Ryuen Shoko and Ayanokouji Kiyohime made Asakusa Tetsu realize how useful the filter really was.

whee.

......

Time flies, and July is fast approaching.

There were no special exams or regular exams this month, so the class points for each class remained unchanged.

Only individual points will be issued as usual.

For the three classes at the top, the distribution of points instantly filled their pockets, stimulating their desire to consume.

For Class D, which was in a lower tier, the meager amount of less than 10,000 points that were sent to their accounts made them happy, but they couldn't help but sigh.

While other classes could spend freely, they could only look at their pitiful account balances and sigh, wondering how they would get through July with so little money.

If it weren't for Chabashira Sae mentioning, as if suddenly remembering, "If you all pass this final exam, I'll take you on vacation this summer," Class D would probably still be immersed in a lifeless atmosphere.

Even so, most people still couldn't muster the enthusiasm.

What they want is a special exam, and they want to increase the class points, ideally to 299 points, so that they can receive exactly 29,000 points each month without having to share 15,000 points with the Ichinose class.

Although it may seem a bit slow, most people only realize at this point that the contract that saved their classmate from dropping out of school has unexpectedly become a constraint that limits their potential.

...That being said, Class D doesn't have much of a chance to get more class points.

No, there are still some.

The next sentence that Chabashi Sae made after making that promise.

"By the way... I'll let you live a dreamlike life on an island surrounded by the blue sea."

Almost the instant the words reached her ears, Horikita Suzune's mind flashed back to the contents of her diary.

The next special exam will begin on the day the sun reaches its highest point.

Considering what Chabashira Sae said about the island vacation... it's not hard to imagine that this is a preview of the next special exam.

But... what form would it take if island vacations were linked to special exams?

Is it a test of survival on a desert island?

She pursed her lips and suddenly felt as if she had found a direction.

Before summer vacation arrives, try to improve your physical fitness.

Although she usually includes physical exercise in her schedule, if the next exam is about surviving on a desert island, the physical strength required will definitely be beyond what she can currently provide.

Oh, and there's also Kikyo Kushida.

That woman definitely needs to work on her physical fitness.

Remind her and invite her to exercise together.

With that in mind, Horikita Suzune sent a message to Kushida Kikyo.

......

"..."

"There might be a special exam during summer vacation, the theme of which is probably survival on a desert island." After a long silence, Kikyo Kushida looked up and shared the message sent by Suzune Horikita with Tetsu Asakusa without hesitation.

"A vacation trip?" Slightly surprised, Asakusa Toru raised an eyebrow.
