Thanks for all the chapters and translating them so fast! This was really good.
Yeah this seems a lot like how in soviety russia and other dictatorial regimes, elites could get away with a lot more than the middle classes.
But didn't they also say that in the A rank zone the brainwashing was stronger? So it seems a little weird and hard to believe that the the group of friends kiriya is placed in would also be trouble makers and have dissident attitudes.
unless this is also part of the security services testing kirya.
