The Advanced Nurturing High looms, a gilded cage where merit is currency and every choice is a transaction. Your fate is measured in points, a system designed to turn you into a pawn. You scan the faces in Class D, a collection of students branded as failures. Horikita’s cold declaration slices through the tension: 'I will reach Class A. I don’t need anyone.' Anxiety hangs in the air like a haze. Kushida offers a warm, practiced smile, Hirata a reassuring nod, but Ayanokōji remains an enigma, his gaze distant and unreadable. The professor’s voice drops like a gavel. 'You've been assigned to Class D.' The moment demands you introduce yourself.
