Correct answer. When translated down, they are separately known as 'priests', 'nobility or warriors', 'citizens' and slaves' It's best to remember their meaning.

Teacher's comment
How in the world is your father being treated?
Nothing bad happened after that, and the day ended like that. The next, Himeji-san and I pretended to meet together on the way and went to school.
It seemed that Himeji-san was the duty person for today, and had to head to the staff room. So I went alone to the classroom and saw the frail Yuuji lying at his seat.
“Morning Yuuji—wah, what happened to your face?”
As I walked near him and wanted to say hello to him, I found that his face was all covered in bruises of all sizes, which really shocked me. That's right. His face was entirely covered with wounds and bruises. What happened?
“Ahh, morning Akihisa. I just fell down from the stairs due to lack of sleep.”
“Lack of sleep...were you playing computer games all night long?”
“Yeah...that was a very realistic game. Once I'm caught, I would be locked up inside a room that's no different from a prison.”
“Heh~ I don't know such a game existed.”
Did such a game come out in the market?
I never remembered seeing this kind of game. Maybe it's because I hardly touched games ever since ane-san was living with me?
“But for Yuuji to be unable to sleep like that, I guess it's a rather interesting game, right?”
“No, it's not about whether it's interesting or not. Well...it's more like a survival game where I have to continue even if I want to start.”
“Un...I see. I'll try that game next time then.”
“Leave it to me. Even if you're not willing, I'll make you play it until the end. We'll start playing after school!”
Yuuji's tone had a mysterious determination in it. It's rare for Yuuji to recommend it so strongly. Is that game really that interesting? Even I'm looking forward to it.
“Ah, speaking of which...”
“Hm? What is it?”
Yuuji's eyes were sparkling strangely, probably thinking about the contents of that game just now. To be safe, I deliberately kept my voice low to ask something I had been wondering the entire time.
(Yuuji, you haven't told anyone about that, right?_
Of course, that thing I was talking about was that fact that I was living with Himeji-san. If this is revealed, I'll be pursued by everyone in class, so I have to keep this secret no matter what.
(I never said it to anyone. That's to be expected, right?)
After saying that, Yuuji's scarred and bruised face gave a radiant smile.
Un, as expected of the most trustworthy person when we're under the same boat. Once this guy can be used, my safety's assured.
(Thanks, that was a great help.)
After thanking him, I returned back to my seat.
I couldn't help but ask Yuuji just now just to be safe, but there's no need to worry that he would reveal my secret in the first place.
As the classroom's quieter than usual, it didn't feel like anything big will happen. Besides, once these guys know that Himeji-san and I are living together, their nature wouldn't allow them to sit back. These guys will immediately leap at me once they see me, and they did do so, which would be the biggest proof that my secret's not revealed.
“Eh? What's wrong? Today's rather quiet unlike yesterday.”
“Ah, morning Hideyoshi.”
“Ohh, Hideyoshi, so you came.”
“Morning, Akihisa, Yuuji.”
Maybe it was because of morning practice that Hideyoshi came into the classroom slightly later. He looked around and said that. It's true that yesterday was really noisy...
“If it happened every day, it'll be really bad for our health. Right, Yuuji?”
“Yeah, that's how it is.” “Unn…”
Perhaps Hideyoshi sensed something strange as he gave a strange look.
“Is this ‘the calm before the storm’…”
Hideyoshi muttered to himself, and for some reason, the words remained in my ears.
