And there's no magic number. Take a look at the list from 1996, it presently indicates there were 30 students. That is after the extra one, Asakura Mami was removed. That means they were 31 (30+Mami) that year.
I'm not sure that's how it worked. Mami's name was written down by Chibiki to remind him who the "extra" was. She wasn't the 31st student per se, but among the 30 of the Class of 96.

In any case, if this is all about there being 31 instead of 30 students in the Class of 98, where's No. 31 in the roster?
