This coaching is not right.

Ito Sawa sat quietly in his dormitory, his gaze fixed on the shadows of the desks and chairs.

After a while, Sakagami-sensei's voice finally came from the shadows.

"Ito Sawa, you did very well." Sakagami-sensei's voice was deep, revealing a hint of appreciation. Although he had been dragged into this mess, he didn't seem to care at all.

Immediately afterward, without waiting for Ito Sawa to urge him, he began to slowly explain the school's assessment system.

“The school’s assessment is divided into three types,” Professor Sakagami’s voice echoed in the dormitory. “The first type is the entrance examination, which is generally a two-way assessment between teachers and students.”

Hearing this, Ito Sawa frowned slightly. He was well aware of the teacher's evaluation, but the student's evaluation...

Sakagami-sensei continued to explain: "On the one hand, it is up to the students to determine whether the teacher shows any signs of depravity or corruption."

Ito Sawa's surprise deepened. He had thought it was just an assessment of the teacher's qualifications. What was this?

Shadow seemed to notice Ito Sawa's strange gaze, and Sakagami-sensei further explained: "When people are exposed to an energy environment for a long time, some people will become alienated, which is called degeneration. Corruption, on the other hand, is being bought off by organizations outside the school, whether they are pro-human organizations or anti-human organizations, none of which can be accepted by the school."

Some were even recruited by conglomerates, so generally, the children of conglomerates were assigned to either Class A or Class D. The difference was that Class A consisted of those who were pro-Sakayanagi family members, while Class D consisted of those who were anti-Sakayanagi family members.

Ito Sawa thought about it and realized it was indeed true. Sakayanagi was a given, and even Kiryuin from the original second-year Class A was a fan of Onishima, the investor in Takayuki, and naturally inclined towards the Sakayanagi family. As for Koenji and Ayanokouji from Class D, one called her "little girl," and the other was practically the son of the person in charge of the White House—weren't they on the front lines against the Sakayanagi family?

As for Ishigami Kyo, and even Nanase and Amasawa, by then even Sakayanagi was no longer in power, so what difference did it make between close and distant relatives?

But he remembered there was one exception, what about Kanzaki?

Ms. Sakagami seemed to notice the doubt on his face and said, "As for the sons of wealthy families in Class B, they are the ones the Sakayanagi family is trying to win over, so the level of surveillance is relatively light. For example, Kanzaki Ryuji in your class."

Ito Sawa nodded, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

"On the other hand, it is a test for the students," Mr. Sakagami said, his voice tinged with seriousness. "Those weaker students will be abandoned from the beginning, so the initial expulsion is the most strictly enforced."

Ito Sawa nodded. He knew the competition at school was extremely fierce; only the strong could survive. This perfectly matched the original story; the initial expulsion requirements were the strictest, and subsequent assessments... To say the school knew nothing about their fights would be a joke.

Ms. Sakagami continued, "However, since it is a two-way assessment, this assessment will only affect the teacher's rating and the number of energy stones you receive, and will not affect your class's rating."

Ito Sawa frowned and asked, "So, how are the ratings determined?"

Sakagami explained, "That's the second type of assessment, which is the next large-scale assessment within your grade, mainly an assessment among students. The capable will rise, and the incapable will fall."

Ito Sawa pondered Sakagami-sensei's words and realized that each grade-level assessment was an opportunity to reshuffle the deck, and the students' positions could change drastically depending on the assessment results.

The generous rewards are enough to cause a major reshuffle of class rankings across grades. If this entrance exam doesn't count towards class rankings, and Ayanokouji were to pull off another similar move, Class C would be in real danger, while Class A might actually fall behind.

Unexpectedly, Ito Sawa was now contemplating whether or not he should stop Ayanokouji during the deserted island assessment.

Although it was a bit strange, Mr. Sakagami didn't pay it any mind and continued to tell him what he intended to convey, saying, "But since Class A has a relatively excellent student body and is led by a wealthy scion who knows the inside story, Class A's position will generally not change. Class C is more dangerous, after all, even if most of the students in Class D are a bunch of weaklings, if they are led by a wealthy scion, they will be a considerable force."

Ito Sawa understood perfectly what he meant when he heard what he said. He simply wanted Class B and Class C to form an alliance, but that would put Class B at a great disadvantage.

Moreover, would Ryu Yuanxiang really agree?

So he remained noncommittal, waiting for Sakagami to continue.

Mr. Sakagami paused for a while, and seeing that he did not express his opinion, he understood what he meant. Then his voice came from the shadows again, this time mentioning the third type of assessment - the cross-grade assessment.

“The third type of assessment,” Mr. Sakagami’s voice was deep and powerful, “is the cross-grade assessment. This type of assessment usually takes place at the end of the school year, when several or even one core group has usually formed within each grade.”

The purpose of cross-grade assessments is to create competition among students of different grades, thereby allowing schools to identify the most outstanding students.

Ito Sawa nodded; he was beginning to understand the true purpose of this assessment. Cross-grade assessments not only tested students' abilities but also their leadership and teamwork skills.

This kind of assessment can stimulate students' potential, while also exposing their weaknesses.

"This kind of assessment is both an opportunity and a challenge for students." Sakagami's voice was serious. "Excellent students can take this opportunity to stand out, while those who are not strong enough may be eliminated."

Ito Sawa took a deep breath. He knew that he and his classmates in Class B had to prepare for this kind of assessment. They needed to improve their skills and learn how to survive and thrive in the competition between different grades.

"Thank you, Sakagami-sensei. Although I know you don't have good intentions, don't worry, I'll still be grateful to you," Ito Sawa said calmly. "We'll be prepared for any challenge. If you want Class C to surpass Class B, you'd better make sure Ryuen Sho is ready."

Sakagami-sensei didn't say anything more. His shadow rippled slightly on the dormitory floor before returning to calm.

Ito Sawa remained seated until half an hour had passed, and with only half an hour left before curfew, he finally...

It's confirmed that Sakagami-sensei has left.

So he decisively got up, intending to take this opportunity to tell Kanzaki and Ichinose this information so that they could also be prepared.
