Book 1: Chapter 6: Intro
Welcome to a merit-based world
The morning bell for the first school day of May rang. Soon after, Chiyabashira-sensei walked in, holding a poster rolled into a tube. Her face is always grim and serious. Are you in menopause? If I made that joke, I think an iron bat would come full swing at my face.
“Sensei~, are you in menopause?”
Ike really asked that out loud. However, I’m shocked that we were thinking the same thing.
“Alright, morning homeroom is starting. Are there any questions before we start? If there’s something on your mind, feel free to speak up.”
Chiyabashira-sensei completely ignored Ike and continued to talk. She talked as if she was completely convinced that the students had something to ask. Immediately, several people raised their hands.
“Um, I checked my point balance this morning, and no points were deposited. Weren’t they supposed to be provided on the first day of the month, every month? I was impatient because I couldn’t buy the juice I wanted.”
“Hondou, I explained it before, didn’t I? Points are wired to student’s accounts on the first day of the month, every month. They were wired without any problems this month as well.”
“Uh, but… I didn’t get any points.”
