Classroom of the Elite: Season 1

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji joins the school in Class 1-D at the Advanced Nurturing High School, an institution established by the government for training best students. Class-D's homeroom teacher, Sae Chabashira explains the point system as money, where everybody gets a monthly allowance of 100,000 points at local shops with one point equaling one yen. She warns the students that they are judged on merit. Ayanokōji navigates the system being careful about how he spends the points, while meeting the greg

Chabashira explains how the system works at school. The four first-year classes are all ranked by merit, and Class-D has the opportunity to be promoted to Class-C with strong performances on exams. She warns that with the current situation, anybody who fails the exam will be expelled. Being aware of the system, everyone takes their studies often, except Ken Sudo, Kenji Ike, and Haruki Yamauchi. Ayanokōji and Suzune discuss these matters, and she asks him to invite the boys to the study group in

Class D gets the results of their last exam and everyone passes except for Sudo, who missed the passing threshold by one point. The grades were the result of Ayanokōji spending 15,000 points to buy exam questions from an upperclassman three days earlier. He explains that none of this is against school rules. Later, Ayanokōji discovers Chabashira asking her whether equality exists, and she answers that it does not and Ayanokōji agrees. Ayanokōji and Suzune spend the points to increase the test sc

On July 1, Class-D's point distribution is put on hold, due to an incident the previous day involving Sudo and three basketball teammates from Class-C. Sudo was attacked and fought back in self-defense. However, due to poor reputation, he will be liable, unless the class can find a witness to clear his name before the hearing next week, which would consequently result in the class without points for the month. In an attempt to manipulate the case in their favor, the three Class-C attackers secre

Sakura, Ayanokōji, and Kushida inspect the camera covered under warranty at the electronics store. The store clerk asks Sakura about her contact information, but Ayanokōji uses his information instead. He figures out that Sakura is the internet model that became a big hit recently. At the hearing presided by Manabu, both classes give their testimonies accusing each other of instigating the fight with the initial ruling going in Class-C's favor. After staying silent, Suzune speaks up after Ayanok

Sakura returns to the dormitory and finds the photos in a mailbox. Taking advantage of the delay in the final ruling that was made possible with the photo, Ayanokōji and Suzune set up a trap at the stairwell. Kushida sends a fake message to three Class-C students, ordering them to meet her at the special annex in order to draw them to the stairwell, where Ayanokōji and Suzune are waiting, and Honami Ichinose installed security cameras. This helps them trick the Class-C students into believing ne

A group of Class-D students, consisting of Ayanokōji, Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, and operation leader Hideo Sotomura, meet up to discuss preparations for peeping on the girls inside the changeroom. Ayanokōji invites Suzune to the pool and warns her about the operation. With everyone invited and enjoying the pool, Yamauchi sneaks into the women's changeroom as a janitor to secretly install the cameras under the pretense of closing it for cleaning. However, Manabu, and the students of Class-C and Class-

For a class trip, all first-year students are taken on a luxurious cruise ship. Ayanokōji finds out from Chabashira that an unknown man had contacted the school, asking for him to be expelled. Chabashira offers to cover for him in order for him to reach Class A. Suspecting that she may be manipulating him, he refuses, but she warns him that if he does, he will be expelled and stripped of his freedom. Ayanokōji discusses with Suzune about the trip's destination. He tells her that he suspects the

Yosuke Hirata explains from the manual how the survival test works. The class gets 300 test points to buy food and other conveniences, and whatever remains at the end of the week can be exchanged for class points. The class loses test points for injuries, polluting the environment, missing roll calls, and violence against any classes. While Class-D determines to tough it out, the girls plan to use a portable toilet, the argument aside, and Class-D determines to save up points. The group finds a

Ayanokōji and Suzune go to reconnoiter the situation at other camps. Class-B's camp is set up near a waterfall and operates much like Class-D's camp but at a better location. Class-A's camp is in a cave that is heavily guarded. Suzune ignores it, when Katsuragi summons his security force and warns her that she might start a war. Class-C's camp is on a beach where, under Ryūen, all points have already been spent and the class treats this test like a vacation. Ryūen did this knowing that they will

In response to the item theft incident, trust within Class-D erodes, and the girls of Class-D are separated from the boys on each camps. Mio asks Ayanokōji about the opinion for the thief, and he trusts her while telling her that Sudo suspects her. That night, Ayanokōji and Suzune sit by a campfire, and he notices that she has been sick during the entire test. Suzune had been resting in her room during the cruise in order to recover from her illness and is determined to tough it out. The next da

Mio notifies Katsuragi through a ham radio that she has secured Suzune's card, as Class-A and Class-C are revealed to be working together. Suzune gets withdrawn from the test. On the final day, the students pack their camps and the classes guess the leaders, with Class-B opting not to make answers. At the assembly, Ryūen reveals that he secretly forged a pact with Katsuragi to transfer 200 test points to Class-A, in exchange for the card or the photo. Class-C quickly spent the remaining 100 poin
