Terminologia

This page will cover various types of **terminology** found in the *You-Zitsu* series.

## Terms

**S-Point** (Ｓポイント, *Esu Pointo*): Also known as **S-System** (Ｓシステム, *Esu Shisutemu*) in the anime, S-Point is one of the founding characteristics that largely contributes to the prestige of Advanced Nurturing High School and the promising future of its students. However, the concept of this system has yet to be revealed.

**Class Point** (クラスポイント, *Kurasu Pointo*): These are evenly given to students in each class and varies between classes, depending on class' performance. Though all the accounted factors are still not clearly exposed, one thing's for sure is that they accumulate through class' effort to improve academic standing. Additionally, these values are announced at the end of each month. However, on the rare case where there's a dispute between classes, their respective class points are on-hold and in-deliberation. One class point equals 100 private points.

**Private Point** (プライベートポイント, *Puraibēto Pointo*): These are the transferable quantitative values that each student possess which can be utilized for transactions, commercial trade, and contract as they are convertible in monetary unit. The value also grows for each student at the start of each month by the factor of 100 to the class points their respective classes hold; which means, if the class maintains 1,000 class points for the whole month, it is expected that each student in that class would have an additional 100,000 private points at the start of the following month. Each point is worth 1 yen in currency.
