Melancholy, unmotivated Kiyotaka Ayanokouji attends his first day at Tokyo Metropoiltan Advanced Nurturing High School, a government-established institution for training a generation of Japan's best and brightest. In this school, it is said, everything is decided based on merit, which includes the generous monthly "point" allowance students can spend at local shops. As Ayanokouji begins navigating this system, he also nurtures curious relationships with aloof fellow outsider Suzune Horikita and the terminally gregarious Kikyou Kushida.

1-D learn more about point system. They need to change their habits if they want to score some. But few students don't want to change even if they are facing expulsion.

Kiyotaka explains to Suzune what he did last three days before test. And why everybody get such good scores on tests. But Sudo failed tests anyway and is going to be expelled.

Classrooms analyze their and others test results. Points distribution is late. Three students from 1-C reported Sudo for attacking them.
