Synopsis

“Then, let’s begin a real Elite Supremacy.”

After 2nd year’s last “End-of-Year Special Exam”, Horikita and the others, previously D-Class in 1st year, were able to welcome 3rd year as A-Class. However, the biggest key figure - Kiyotaka Ayanokoji ended up transferring classes.

Horikita class students fall into feelings of chaos and confusion—— and yet there is 1 cruel truth.

If Horikita and the 3rd Year A-Class can’t defeat “Kiyotaka Ayanokoji”, they won’t graduate from A-Class.

With Ryuen and B-Class showing growth, Ayanokoji’s C-Class and Ichinose’s D-Class creating new connections, the 3rd year’s first special exam “Comprehensive Academic Ability Exam: All Students & Small Group Battles” is announced!

Only 1 class can graduate as A-Class. Which class will stand at the top!?

The long-awaited “3rd Year Arc” starts!
