If you decide to skip your classes, you'll be able to take actions to prepare to eliminate your target. However, your teachers may call your home or send someone to search for you.

During classtime, you'll be able to Passive Plan and collect information on your target and how to eliminate them. However, you'll need to split your attention between your target and your teacher!
Each period, you'll have 5 chances to write notes on either your class or elimination methods. Each chance is only about 3 seconds, so choose quickly and choose wisely!
Sometimes your teachers will go on needless tangents. This will be a good opportunity to think about something else.
Your notebooks will save, so be sure to check them after class so you can study. You have a seperate one for eliminations and classwork.
Every Friday, you will get a quiz for each class. If you spend too many of your chances on elimination methods, you won't have the notes to pass your quizzes, and your grades will take a pretty big hit.
