Classroom of the Elite Fanfiction: The Snow Queen's 1st Year

V1 C3 - Midterm Preparations

“Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare.”
- A Latin Proverb

May 1 has arrived. When I got inside the classroom, everyone was in a much livelier mood than usual. 

“Did you see what I see, Shiho-chan? We got 72,000 pp after a month!” Nanami said excitedly. 

“Really? I haven't noticed it ‘til now.” Manabe said as she checked her phone.

Meanwhile, I checked my own phone and looked over my private point count. 

578,837 pp

I still can't believe that I got around half a million private points after just a month. 

Over the past few weeks, not only have I encouraged everyone to pay attention to the class, but to also observe their attitude inside and outside the class. 

More than that, I encouraged those who wanted to join a club to join one since, depending on their talents, they would have the chance to gain private points through gambling matches, but I did not mention that if they succeeded with having their talents flourish, our class points would rise as well.

This is the reason why Komiya and Kondou joined the Basketball Club, Shiina joined the Tea Ceremony Club, and I and Ishizaki participated in the Judo Club’s matches, of all places. Although I fancied joining the Chess Club, a rumor regarding a 1st Year student beating everyone in gambling matches has reached my ears.

Of course, there's only two people I know who could achieve this kind of feat and it's not Ayanokoji who’s trying to hide his abilities. 

It's definitely Sakayanagi Arisu, and I'm not ready to face her just yet. 

As I was pondering more into what had unfolded, it was when Sakagami-sensei arrived at the classroom with a smile on his face.

“Good morning, Class 1-C”

He then taped a printed bulletin board that reported our current class points for May to the whiteboard.

Before Class Observation
Class 1-A - 1000 CP
Class 1-B - 1000 CP
Class 1-C - 1000 CP
Class 1-D - 1000 CP

After Class Observation
Class 1-A - 940 CP
Class 1-B - 720 CP
Class 1-C - 650 CP
Class 1-D - 200 CP

“Or should I say… Class 1-B. You have exceeded my expectations, everyone.” Sakagami-sensei said with a smirk on his face. 

“Ohhhh!”

“Shirayuki-sama’s conjecture is so on-point!”

“I'm over 100,000 now! This is a miracle!”

“All hail Shirayuki-sama!!!”

Everyone else cheered up with some of the outliers even chanting my name as if it's worthy of worship. I rolled my eyes thinking of the fanboys and fangirls in my class who're saying these things.

Meanwhile, Sakagami let everyone cheer for once in a while before slapping the top of the lectern once as the class settled down into silence once again. 

“Indeed, it has been Shirayuki-kun’s achievement that everyone has managed to excel to Class B. But I daresay that you all shouldn't get too lax from thereon out. 

After all, your midterms will be in just 3 weeks.” Sakagami said as some of the students reacted from this revelation. 

I rolled my eyes from their reactions since some of them were still quite academically-challenged while having an advantage in their physical or insight attributes.
