This is mostly a Canon chapter from COTE so there's nothing really new.

Friday, May 1st, 2020

As I woke up, I could see Nino still asleep hugging me while being naked. Seeing her cute sleeping face, I couldn't help but smile before caressing her cheek and hair. After a minute, she started to wake up.

"Good morning, darling!" She said before giving me a kiss.

"Good morning, Nino."

We continued to cuddle for some minutes before getting out of the bed. Nino took care of the bed sheets and went to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast with Lina after taking a bath while I went outside to do some morning training along my Pokemon and those of Nino.

I have started to helped Nino to train her Pokemon. For now, her Pokemon are focusing on the new basic training I taught her. Also, now that she entered my harem, I gave her some top grade resources for her Pokemon. Thanks to that, her Swablu managed to evolve and her other Pokemon are now stronger than before.

"The breakfast is almost ready so go take your bath for now!!" After a moment, Nino called us. Her Pokemon immediately stopped their training but mine only did after finishing their exercises before going back to the mansion while I went to take a bath.

"Yuu, did you receive your points this morning? Shouldn't we have received our points for this month?" Nino asked after we had our breakfast. She wasn't really anxious about it since she got a million from me and I can give her some points as long as she asked for it.

"I haven't. From what I know, we should have received it every first day of the week. For now, let's just ask our friends."

After getting changed into our uniform, we went to school with our arms intertwined. When we entered the school building, I saw Mizuki along with her friend Shinonome Ena.

"Hello Mizuki! Good morning Shinonome-san."

"Hello Yuu, Nino-chan!"

"Hi! Mizuki-chan, Shinonome-san."

"Good morning you two."

"Hey, Mizuki, did you get your points this morning?"

"Yeah, I got 94,000. It was also the same for Ena-chan. It seems like we wouldn't get 100,000 each month as I though. What about you two."

"We got nothing. Well the school should have some explanation so let's just wait for it."

"Nothing? Really? That's weird. Well you're right, let's wait for the school's explanations. Anyway, it's not like you need that money."

After taking for a moment, we went to our respective class.

We we entered the classroom, the students were talking about the points.

After a while, the morning bell for the first period rang. Soon after, Chabashira-sensei walked in, holding a poster rolled into a tube. Her face was grim and serious as usual.

"Sae-chan-sensei~, are you in menopause?" Ike asked out loud.

"Alright, morning homeroom is starting. Are there any question before we start? If there's something on your mind, Feel free to speak up."

She completely ignored Ike and continued to talk. Immediately, several students raised their hands.

"Um, I checked my balance this morning, and no points were deposited. Weren't we supposed to be provided on the first day of the month, every month? I was impatiens because I couldn't buy the juice I wanted."

"Hondou, I explained before didn't I? Points are sent to the students' account on the first day of the month, every month. They were sent without a problem this month as well."

"But, I didn't get any point…"

The students were surprised hearing that but didn't understand what was happening.

"… Are you guys really that stupid?" Said Chabashira-sensei.

"Stupid, what?"

She had a sharp flint in her eyes as Hondou repeated her word like an idiot.

"Sit down Hondou, I'll explain it again."

"S- Sae-chan-sensei?"

Surprised by her strict tone, Hondou sat back on his seat.

"Points were deposited without fail. And you already got what you should get. Do you understand?"

"No, even if I said I understand, we didn't get any point…"

Hondou has a very dissatisfied expression on his face. It was also the same for the other classmates.

"Hahaha, I see. So, it was like that. I've understood this riddle now."

Kouenji said in a loud voice while laughing. Putting his feet on the table, her pointed at Hondou with his self-important attitude.

"Didn't receive any point because we're in class D."

"Hah? What do you mean? They said we'd get 100,000 points every month…"

"I don't remember hearing that. Right?"

Smirking, Kouenji turned to look at Chabashira-sensei.

"Your attitude isn't good. But what Kouenji said is on the right track. Not many people seem to have noticed my hints. How sad."

The classroom went into an uproar and confusion.

"Sensei, can I ask a question? I still don't understand. Please tell me why we didn't get any point. If you don't, we'll never understand." Asked Hirata.

"38 absence, 64 tardiness, 391 case of using cellphone in class, and I'm not talking about how much you chatted in class. In this school, your performance is reflected in the amount of points received. As result of your behavior, the 100,000 points that you could've received went down the drain.

"I explained this all on the very first day of school. This school values the abilities of its student. This time around, You good were valued to be worth 0. There's nothing more than that."

"Chabashira-sensei, I don't remember ever hearing about that explanation before…"

"What? Are you people incapable of understanding without any explanation?"

"Naturally. There was no mention of reducing the points received monthly. If it was explained before, we would've tried to not be late in class and not to talk during class."

"An interesting argument, Hirata. I also don't remember explaining the rules about the points. However, haven't you guys learned about not talking during class and not to be late since elementary school?"

"That is…"

"I'm pretty sure you guys have learned about it in the 9 years of compulsory education. Also, did you say that you couldn't understand because I didn't explain it? Those excuse doesn't fly. If you behaved as a student should, Your points wouldn't have dropped to 0. It's your own self-responsibility."

Without a room for a rebuttal, she completely voiced her argument. After all, everyone should know about good and bad behavior.

"After becoming first year high school students, did you really think you would get 100,000 points without any restriction? In this school created by the government and the league to train excellent people? That's impossible. Just use your common sense."

Although Hirata looked frustrated by the sound argument, he immediately recovered and looked at her in the eyes.

"Well then, can you at least tell us how points are increased or decreased? We will always try it best from now on."

"That's not possible. We are not allowed to divulge the details of how we assess merit to students. It's the same in the real world. When you all enter the society, you would have to work and no one would tell you how you would be assessed. However, I'm not trying to be cold, nor do I hate you guys. This is such a pitiful sight so let me tell one thing to everyone here."

For the first time today, there was a smile on her face.

"If everyone here stopped being late and stopped chatting in class, you deduction would be 0. But they didn't mean you'll get any point.

"In other words, next month's allowance would also be 0.

"Not being late or not chatting in class won't help you get back from the bottom. Keep that in mind."

Hirata's face got even darker. A part of the class still failed to understand everything. Well, we're talking about some idiots do it's no wonder.

"Anyway, let's move back on the main issue."

She spread out the wire poster that was rolled out into a tube. Taking out a magnet, she stucked it on the board. The students looked at it still confused.

Class A to D were listed on the paper.

Class A - 940

Class B - 650

Class C - 490

Class D - 0

"940? So that was it… But those numbers, they're strangely clean." Said Nino in low voice. Ever since getting the miracle power, her mind became shaper. But since it wasn't by that much, she wasn't able to understand the rules before the explanations.

Every students in the class would get 100 private points for every class points.

"For the first month, all of you were doing as you pleased. Now, the school's not saying that this is prohibited. Your actions, such as chatting in class and being late, just affect your number of points. It's just like how you spend your points. You have the freedom of doing as you please. We haven't restricted how you use your points."

"This isn't fair! We can't lead normal school life like that." Ike, who shave stayed quiet, shouted out.

Yamauchi was also crying in agony since he used all of his points.

"Look carefully, you stupid kids. The other classes still have some points. The amount of points you had should be enough for you to last another month."

Wait, seriously? Doesn't this woman know that amount isn't enough for advanced trainers, let alone the top leveled ones. Well, most of the students here comes from middle class families so it should be a high amount for them.

"H-how do other classes still have done points? That's strange…"

Meh, not going to comment that one.

"I'll tell you that there's no fraud. The classes were judged with the sake rules. Nerveless, they didn't lose as much points as you. That's a fact."

"How is there so much difference between the classes."

Hirata also seemed to have noticed something odd with the points. Well, it was too obvious and anyone with any bit of intelligence would notice. I mean, even Nino noticed it.

"Did you guys now understand why were you put in the D class?"

"The reason we were out in the class D? Isn't that because the school's arrangements?"

"Eh? That's how ordinary class work, you know."

Everyone exchanged glanced. Well, anyone who know about assassination classroom would know what she meant. Sadly, that work doesn't exist in this world.

"In this school, all students were divided into class by merit. The best students are put in class A while the worst are in class D. This is a system used but major cram schools. Class D is a collection of leftovers. That also means you are the worst students of this school, the defective products. This is really an outcome worthy of defective students.

The funny thing is that this class is the very first to lost all of the points in the first month. I would like to applaud you for living so lavishly until now. How praiseworthy."

Chabashira-sensei's unnatural applause excited in the classroom.

'Is it only me or Chabashira-sensei's sarcasm sounds lame?'

"However, be at ease. You can still use your dorms, there are free meals in the cafeteria, there are free products in the convenience stores and the school can also give your Pokemon free foods in the daycare so you won't die."

"Fuck, the other class would make fun of us!"

Sudou kicked his desk with a bang. He seems pissed just thinking about still guys making fun of him for being in the class D.

"What, you'reyou're still holding onto your pride, Sudou? In that case, make the worst class the best one."

"Huh?"

"These class points aren't just linked to the amount of monthly points you get, it's also what determines the class rank."

Meaning we would become the class C if or class get more class points than the actual class C.

"Alright, I have one more piece of bad new for you guys."

With that, she put another poster on the blackboard. It was the results of the test we had earlier this week.

"From looking at these numbers, I came to understand that there are a lot of idiots in this class. These are the results of the test a few days earlier. Sensei is glad seeing your wonderful performance. Seriously, what the hell did you guys learn in middle school?"

What I wanted to ask was why the hell did the school accept such students?

"If this test was actually recorded, ten of you would actually have to drop out off the school. Good thing it wasn't, right?"

"D-drop out, what do you mean?

"If you get any red mark on the midterms and final exams, you have to drop out of the school. On this test, that would be everyone who got a below 30."

Everyone in class were surprised hearing that. Nino clenched her fists. She herself managed to score just above the falling line on every subject other than the Pokemon breeding theory which actually scored 65 points. The problem was that her sisters had at least two failing score. Yotsuba was the one who has the worst score in the class and even got a 0 on science.

I was in the first place with a perfect score while Horikita and Kouenji were tied for the second place. There were three questions that were extremely difficult and were above the level of high school students so a perfect score would be hard but it was easy for me.

I've never gone to school before. My mother was the one who taught me at home and she even taught me some college level subjects. With the addition of my knowledge power, the tests of this school should a walk in the park for me.

"Also, do you remember about the 100% employment and college enrollment boasted by the school? Only those who graduate from the class A can enjoy such a thing."

With that, she fired the last cannon and dealt another major damage to the class D. With that, she should have completed her symphony of cannon in D class. I know, that was a lame joke. Pachelbel would definitely curse me of he heard that.

There was a commotion in the class due to Chabashira-sensei. Kouenji somehow boasted about him not needing to graduate from the class A because he would lead the Kouenji conglomerate in the future.

"Looks like your happy mood has been dampened. If you guys understood the harsh situation you were put from the start, we wouldn't have need this long homeroom. The midterm are in three weeks so please avoid getting expelled. If possible, past challenge your situation with a behavior of that a capable person."

Closing the door for emphasis, she walked out of the classroom. The red mark students were crestfallen.

Don't forget the power stones.
