Stars is an evaluation called on Academy Island.
Description[]
A performance evaluation, an absolute benchmark, a symbol of intellectual level… The understanding of this varies from person to person, but the point is that it is similar to a title. The target of the assessment are all high school students on the island; the number is about 150,000. They are divided into seven classes: from one to seven stars, corresponding to the equation “number of stars = level”, with different benefits to each.
Yes, that is, the island treats you differently depending on the number of stars. For example, even if you enter an arbitrary store on the island, there are restrictions on the services available determined by the level (stars). Students with many stars have priority for better transportation. The amount of (electronic) money paid to you at the beginning of each month is also determined by the number of stars.
In other words, simply changing the number of stars will greatly affect your standard of living, which is a very important element. This is the general understanding of stars by the people of Academy Island. (Quoted from the Four Seasons’ Island Enrollment Handbook).
Therefore—for this reason—students on this academic island have an immeasurable obsession with the stars. After all, rather than appearance, mind or talents, the number of stars is what determines one’s value. Adding a star will get you into the upper class; conversely, if you lose a star, you will fall into the same position as the guys who have been despised.
This is a venturous system that does not hesitate to forcibly foster a sense of competence, class consciousness, and self-motivation.
World opinion on this is mixed (some against, some in favor), but the rise of outstanding Academy Island graduates is also due to this star system. This fact is beyond doubt.
Ways to get Stars[]
- First : Each student will be rewarded according to their grades and other assessments at the time of admission or promotion.
- Second : They are paid as rewards at large-scale events that are held on an irregular basis.
- Third: Received after winning any game against a fellow student
