P.S: The design of my *avatar* is based on the summoned avatars from an anime series named: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. Here are some examples:
They have elf ears and fluffy dog tails, and although they are normally seen in chibi form, there are some episodes where they can be seen in a more *human like* form. I really like their simplistic yet cute design and so, I made my own!! 🤗🤗🤗
Baka Test and Classroom of the Elite are two shows with the exact same premise, but while Baka Test takes a comedic road, Classroom of the Elite take a serious one. Even the main characters look like tonal changed versions of each other. Having been a fan of Baka Test for quite some time, my experience with Classroom of the Elite has been like watching a strange AU.
Yuuji:
The DM, because he wanted to find new ways of tormenting Akihisa with. He's never DM'ed before but has read up a shitton on it so he can find any way to bend the rules and make sure that Aki suffers. Any complaints will be brushed off with "I am the DM, I make the rules."
Akihisa:
Your local half elf wizard. He rolled exceptionally shitty on all his stats (and blamed Yuuji for giving him staged dices). He proceeds the shitty rolls throughout the whole campaign, and has the highest near-death rate of the whole party. By far.
Minami:
The most butch half Orc woman you’ve ever seen. She wanted to play a barbarian for the convenience, and during character creation made sure to emphasize that her boobs are massive. Yuuji made her roll for it, and she rolled a nat 1.
Bonus: After that roll, Aki was almost strangled with his own socks for laughing at her bad luck. She makes it a point to hurt his character a lot in the campaign.
Himeji:
An adorable Halfling or Gnome Druid with pink cotton candy hair. At first she didn’t know what class to play as, but when Yuuji told her that she can change into animals as a Druid she chose that quick as the wind. She rolls surprisingly well and crits a lot. She has a tame bunnyrabbit named Punyuu, or something in the likes.
Hideyoshi:
The party healer, who play as an Elven Cleric (later multiclasses as Bard). That One Party Member™ who’s 110% into character and has a long elaborate backstory that bring the rest of the party to tears. Has figured out a voice and accent for his character and uses it even when the party consults their plan out of character.
Bonus: Though he set “male” as his character’s gender, the first roll Aki made was to “use his magical powers” to turn him into a female. It was the first and only nat 20 Aki ever rolled. DM Yuuji was way to shocked to even protest.
Kouta:
Plays a rogue/assassin type character, and is the only human in the party. Though he rolled exceptionally well and has very high stats he basically never uses any attacks, and spends every initiative with rolling perception checks for any panty-shots. Yuuji stopped protesting after five sessions and just let it happen. Somehow he also carries the most riches of them all. Nobody knows how or why.
Shouko:
Only in the party because she “insisted”, and Yuuji didn’t dare turning her down. She plays as a Tiefling Paladin, and when Yuuji asked her for what god, she looked straight at him with a blush and said “the DM”. Yuuji wasn’t impressed but tried go around it by making up a close-to-DM god in the universe.
I gave him a token nod of my head and took the envelope.
‘Still, why on earth do you guys go through the bother of handing out every student’s class individually like this? Wouldn’t it be better to just stick them all on the notice board?’
Preparing a sheet with their class written on it to give to every single student one by one could only have been a load of unnecessary hassle. Not to mention, having to individually prepare and stuff the letters into envelopes.
‘That’s what’s normally done, certainly. But keep in mind that our school uses one of the most cutting-edge, innovative examination system in the country. This unusual way of announcing class is part of that system.’
‘So that’s what it’s all about…’ I tried to respond appropriately, while turning the envelope over in my hands. Well then, what class was I going to belong to? I was a little nervous.
Why? Well, at my school - Fumizuki Academy - starting from their second year, all students were divided into classes A to F all depending on their grades on our final exam. The smartest students made up A Class, and the dumbest were F Class - that’s how it worked. In other words, your intelligence could be judge by whatever class you belonged to. For the sake of my own pride, F Class was the only class I wanted to avoid.
‘Yoshii, there’s something I want to say to you.’
‘Yes?’
The envelope was sealed pretty tightly shut, and I wasn’t having much luck opening it.
‘As I watched over you during the past year I had this nagging doubt in my head - ‘could it possibly be that Yoshii is an idiot?’ ‘
‘That’s a pretty big mistake on your part! Getting confused over something like that - people might start questioning your eyesight!’
It might not mean a whole lot coming from me, but I do think I did pretty well on the end of year exams, even though I didn’t study a whole lot. After seeing my result, Nishimura Sensei must have corrected his misjudgement and revaluated my intelligence.
‘Yes. After seeing your score on the end of your exams, I have truly realized my grave mistake.’
‘I’m glad to hear that!’
Yup, this envelope is way too difficult to open. Guess I’ve no choice - I’ll rip it open from the top. I tore off the top of the envelope and peeped inside to find a single sheet of folded paper. So, which class would I be? Perhaps D Class? Maybe even C Class?
‘Yoshi, any doubts I had about you have completely disappeared.’
I unfolded the piece of paper and checked my class.
Yoshii Akihisa...F Class
‘You are - without any doubts - an idiot.’
And that’s when my life in this school’s worst class began.
