It's effectively a boarding school (implementation aside), is that really all that ridiculous?
• Reside at the campus dorms • Use campus facilities (granted they're denied access to the 'outside' world, but that's not any different to a circumstance where you might reside in a remote location) • Varying amounts of 'funding' provided for student activities. |

• Students are awarded 100,000 points upon gaining admission to said school • Students are (on a monthly basis) granted additional points which are entirely at the discretion of the teacher they are assigned. • There are no 'changes' to class composition (i.e student and student pair) for the duration of the school (3 years). ○ Points have zero value outside of the school ○ The teacher has the ability to award zero points for a given month For simplicity, let 3 years = 36 months • 100k/36 = 2777.778 per month If the students were employee's, then they have (effectively) a base salary of $0/month and work entirely based on 'commission'. The actual overhead cost for the employer (i.e, the school) is negligible in the grand scheme of things. The school itself is a government established facility for the purpose of nurturing young people (so they will support the country in the future, however that may be). If you consider the 3 years of schooling to be a 3 year apprenticeship/internship/training program/... then the return on investment is absolutely huge, relative to the expenditure. • 25 students per class • 4 classes per grade • 3 grades ○ 300 total There's only a 300 * 100,000 'point' commitment (i.e, this is the minimum expenditure) for any given 3 year period. It only increases beyond that if the students (classes, collectively) actually perform in such a way that is deemed to be worthy/productive. |

The 100% employment/college entry rate is a number provided by the MC, but we have no idea how many students that actually is (should be about 100 per year, based on the MC's calculations of 300 students enrolled). We have no data about anyone who 'drops-out', fails, dies due to some accident or otherwise does not 'graduate' after their 3rd year. If it's anything like "shokugeki no souma" where students get expelled regularly (let's say 50% never graduate for some reason or another) then you could reasonably have a situation where of all the graduates (50 people, out of 100 starters) that 100% of the graduates find employment/college acceptance. Whether or not the school accepts 'transfer students' is also something we don't know. How they reach that 100% is important. Students live in dorms, ability to leave campus/interact with the outside world is limited (how this is achieved in a world with smartphones, and presumably internet, on-line gaming, etc. is besides the point). The student council pres and the main girl seem to share a common family name, but if they're related it would seem like a pretty twisted thing for the older sibling not to give a heads up to the younger one about the way the world works. Just because a school is 'select entry' doesn't mean the students are machines. Hell, we see someone rage and knock over a trash bin, that's not exactly 'model student' behavior and yet somehow this sort of student has been selected, when the 'intake' for a given year appears to be 100 students max. Being able to maintain secrecy of the internal workings of the school, especially in (comparing to real world) a reality with smart phones, internet and social media (assumptions) can be rightly considered ridiculous, however in a reality where the government can set up such a school it seems like it would be a reasonable assumption (and trivial thing to implement) that blackmail of some form could exist. As an (unfair) example, North Korea could probably achieve everything that has been shown thus far in episode one, create a learning environment that is completely isolated from the outside world, detached from 'reality'. At this stage in the shows progression we simply don't know enough, but aside from the lack of information leaking to the outside world everything else (at least from my perspective) is rather reasonable, feasible and achievable in reality. |

Yeah, it's out now.
Episode 2: S System.... Well I guess it means class D will have to climb Episode was actually interesting (despite the distracting swimsuit fan service). I wonder if Horikita will be able to change her attitude though. Personally, I don't think she can make friends if she acts like that. Still, she does show a more vulnerable side when confronted by her brother. The mid-terms exams so far shows who the smarter students are in the class. Not even slightly surprised by Horikita's scores.

That was surprisingly fine. There is nothing particularly great about this show, but there is lot of thing that might turn be good in future if given chance. I guess I will do exactly that.
Still not fond of these loner aloof girls, that still latch on MC for whatever reason.

I'm assuming that the quote that started the episode applies to the MC. Probably a genius but lazy and doesn't want people to know about his skills, so he games the system. Even in the midterms he hit exactly 70, which is basically what an average student should get. He wants to be off the radar but he's also giving himself away

I was thinking how'd these dumb students actually entered such a prestigious elite school. Then the end shows us they're really not that dumb, if the MC who purposely fixes his grades ends up second to the last.
Still, if the MC got in the school by having 50 in literally all of his entrance exams, there must be some other criteria. I wonder if they'll reveal what made these Class D people to be accepted into the school. And wow, the heroine is a brocon. In the absence of osananajimi, I just can't help but ship her with her brother. Wasn't the seitou kaichou just going to caress the heroine's face before he got cockblocked by the MC? Silly MC, misunderstanding the situation...

Maybe I misunderstood something but..from now on the best they can get a month is 1000 points? Thats like just 7.7 EUR.
That would be exceptionally low. I mean the allowance I got as a kid was probably on the upper range but even now as an adult I couldn't imagine living off 8 EUR. Heck the drinks I get from the vending machine at work make me loose at least 2.20 a day. There must be some kind of huge mistake in the explaination there (or some kind of multiplyer missing), otherwise I don't see how they can get food for an entire month even if they cook it themselves. Even my country's budget military thinks about 2or 3EUR/Day. As for how everoyne achieved such high grades its obvious: the MC formed his own study group with them. That being said he himself is still barely above acceptable. I think he is still holding back pretty badly and could actually get 100 in every subject. Checking chemestry alone you can see that he didn't really put any effort in and was just barely above the actual worst of the class. I guess thats the reason he was put in there in the first place, rather than his friend making issue But well he is out for blood now
