Book clubs, daily missions, and routine White Gym training.
Days as calm as water slipped by, and before anyone noticed, May 8 arrived.
[Today's Diary Plot Index: C]
"Oh? …I thought I'd have to wait until the end of the month."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Asakusa Tetsu looked at the bright letter "C" on the screen, feeling a little surprised.
From what he remembered, nothing particularly special happened in May at Advanced Nurturing High School.
At most, there were study groups, more study groups, buying past exam papers, and then facing the final exams.
In short, it was the period when the "Masterpiece" began to show his strength.
But now…
With him constantly spoiling and changing the original storyline, it was hard to say whether Ayanokōji Kiyotaka would still act for Class D's survival, or whether the failing group would still need to buy past exam papers.
One thing, however, was probably unchanged.
That was the wrong midterm exam scope Chabashira Sae had given her Class D students.
Thinking of that, Asakusa suddenly knew what today's diary should be about.
—Time to interrogate Chabashira Sae.
But before writing, there were still things to think through.
For example, what exactly today's raised plot index corresponded to.
Between study sessions and buying past papers…
May 8…
Could it be Handprint Sis's famous debut?
After thinking for a moment, he found the key point.
The rooftop. Her true nature. And pressing handprints.
On the rooftop, venting her stress by cursing, forgetting to close the door, and exposing her true self.
Then, faced with disaster, Kushida Kikyo's solution was to grab others' hands, press fingerprints onto herself, and keep the clothes as evidence—threatening to accuse them of harassment.
Simply put, it was a ridiculous yet strangely memorable scene that made people want to try stamping handprints too.
…No wonder today's plot index was C.
Looks like the index wasn't based on character body proportions after all.
If it were, unless it involved the Little Princess, getting an A would be hard.
"…"
Okay, that was a bit rude to her.
But whatever. She was born flat.
Spinning his pen lightly, Asakusa opened the diary, yet didn't write immediately.
If he remembered correctly, Handprint Sis's debut and Horikita's reunion with her brother happened on the same day.
…Yeah, this plot index system really didn't make sense.
And if it only followed the original plot, wouldn't that leave him no room to manipulate things?
Annoying.
Whatever.
Just make good use of every chance when the index is higher than E.
Time to write.
The pen stopped spinning. Black ink soaked into the page.
Diary Entry
[Nothing happened today…
So let's expose Advanced Nurturing's top-tier homeroom teachers! (Loudly)
(Clap)(Applause)
Everyone's been studying lately, drowning in problem sets.
Nothing interesting is happening.
Even I'm starting to feel lazy.
That's not good!
If everyone only focuses on exams, can this place still be called "Merit Supremacy"?!
Don't forget your original intentions!
There are so many weirdos here, yet I've gotten used to them and stopped roasting them.
That's called forgetting your roots!
So today, it's the teachers' stage.
Everyone knows there are four homeroom teachers for first-years.
Let's call them:
Square Face, Drunkard, No-Ethics, and Dumbass.
Square Face isn't worth mentioning.
Standard teacher. So standard it feels strange.
Maybe because of that, he's set as being in the same year as Drunkard and Dumbass.
The real heavyweights are the other three.
No-Ethics lives up to his name.
No professional ethics at all.
Neglects students, looks the other way, favors people.
The worst offender.
Sure, students who benefit from him like him.
But to others, it's unfair.
Luckily, there are even worse teachers here.
Compared to the remaining two, No-Ethics almost looks decent.
…Wait, I'm losing motivation.
No, change style.
"Ahem! This is the Advanced Nurturing Teacher Freak Ranking Show! Hosted by Diary!"
The curtain rises! Exposure begins!
After Fourth and Third Place, here comes—
Second Place!
Drunkard Lady!!!!
More like a prostitute than a teacher.
Cares more about her bestie than men.
Pretends to be a mature adult and gets good reviews from students.
But Square Face would never see her as a woman.
She only fools kids.
Whether she's promiscuous or not, I won't judge.
But she really changes partners daily.
Private life is private, sure.
But if she dares do it, don't blame me for attacking her.
And that's not why she's second place.
She's a teacher who values personal emotions over everything.
Who'll sell herself, abandon morals, and break rules just to step on her best friend.
If you meet Drunkard Lady…
I can only wish you good luck.
If you don't get involved with her best friend, she's just messy, alcoholic, unprofessional, and bad at teaching.
Totally nothing scary.
But if you do…
Prepare to be dragged into hell.
She doesn't care about using her students as weapons.]
