You said that only class D is punished collectively - that hasn't been said.So the upper classes just get money on an individual performance basis, but only Class D is stuck working collectively? That nearly breaks suspension of disbelief right then and there.
and after that, you said that Class D is the only class that wasn't involved in a scheme/were the only ones not given information.
That's different from your earlier post where you suggested that for some odd reason (which is possible, but has to be mentioned first. Right now, there is nothing pointing in that direction) *only* class D is graded collectively
On top of that, we don't even know how the other classes were doing.
That's also probably not how it works given the information we have. Why would it not work btw?And they have to be the only group punished, because the little Machiavellian economy they have going can't work if all the first year classes are broke.
The school is the one giving the money after all and the kids can only spend it on school grounds.
If they can get a payout at the end of their school life, then it's actually better for the school if all the classes are broke.
If they can't get a payout - it doesn't make much of a difference either. Yet, Class D might be less lucrative than the other classes because they actually spent their credits on products they can take home with them...
which means the school wouldn't want to have a class that keeps spending all it's money, which means they would've told them not to spend it - if that's important.
So, now they are missing 100.000 credits, considering that MC only had to spend 20k to get around, nothing is stopping them to actually learn now. The question is whether they are actually able to meet the schools standards. After all this school is supposed to train the elite of the elite... and class D is full of idiots.
Which leads me to the Synopsis:
"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a student of D-class, which is where the school dumps its "inferior" students in order to ridicule them."
