Classroom of the Elite: Season 2

Akane Tachibana reports the first year's first Special Test results to Manabu. Back on the cruise, Yosuke Hirata mentions Ayanokōji about Karuizawa. The first years are informed of a second Special Test: each student can meet at a rendezvous point at a certain time. Ayanokōji accompanies Karuizawa, Hideo Sotomura, and Teruhiko Yukimura. There, an instructor explains the Special Test. The students are split into eight groups of 14, with three students from Classes A and B, and four from Classes C

Hirata receives information from someone about Kushida being a VIP, which he tells to Yukimura and Ayanokōji. Rokusuke Kōenji presumably discovers the true VIP, and as a result, the Jupiter group's test has ended. Suzune becomes upset at Kōenji. She and Ayanokōji decide to unite Class-D to get the most class points. To do that, they decide to use Karuizawa as a primary player since she has a powerful presence amongst the Class-D girls. Ayanokōji notes that Karuizawa has been passive compared to

Yukimura and Ayanokōji finally intervene in the situation, but Karuizawa chides them. On the third day, the Venus group's test has concluded, thinking that Class-C is trying to exploit the test, Ayanokōji sends an email to Manabe. Karuizawa is lured to a secluded part of the ship, when Rika and the girls arrive. Manabe infers that Karuizawa was bullied before, confirmed when she had a panic attack. Manabe has Rika slap Karuizawa, while Ayanokōji watches revealing that his email to Manabe for Kar

The VIPs were chosen based on their name's position in the Hiragana scripture and the corresponding planet group of said VIP. Class-D talks about how Class-C is not fully united. The school will hold a 13-event Sports Festival with the theme of Team Red vs Team White: Team Red consists of Classes A and D, and Team White consists of Classes B and C. The Sports Festival has several merits (the top three placements have a choice between 1,000 private points or bonuses on their written exam) and dem

Ayanokōji and Suzune speculate that Kushida is betraying the class, because she receives private points from other classes. They surveil Team White, much to Kushida's chagrin over Suzune. She blatantly asks if she did sell her VIP information, to which she denies and asks to trust her. The Sports Festival begins. Sudo motivates Class-D, while Arisu of Class-A observes the Festival. When Kōenji leaves, Sudo lowers the class morale. Team Red loses the "Topple the Pole" event after Ryūen defeats Su

When Suzune scolds Sudo, he admits that he joined the festival for attention and to get back at those talking bad about him. Suzune affirms that he must keep fighting, or he will be worthless and will await his return. Before the break ends, Ayanokōji confronts Kushida about her being the traitor. She initially denies the accusation but poses a notion as to why he did not change the list if he knew she leaked the participation list, which she deduces would have caused inter-class confusion. She

Manabu renounces from working with the student council, replaced by Miyabi Nagumo from Class 2-A. He plans to change the school into a meritocracy. After the assembly, Kohei Katsuragi from 1-A advises Ayanokōji, Suzune, and Class-D to be wary of Ryūen. After he leaves, Maya Sato from 1-D bashfully asks Ayanokōji to trade numbers and implies she has a crush on him. Despite Class-D coming last for the Festival, no students are expelled, much to Chabashira's surprise. She allows the class know abou

Kushida reminisces her thoughts on the aftermath of the class implosion. Class-D will have study sessions for Paper Shuffle, with her and Suzune as overseers. Kushida leaves the class as she receives an email. Yukimura offers to oversee a pair for Paper Shuffle. Akito Miyake and Haruka Hasebe, noting that unity and cooperation are necessary to win. Suzune asks Ayanokōji to join Yukimura's group and track progress. At the study session, the students encourage Ayanokōji not to hold back, given his

Kushida informs Ryūen of her bet with Ayanokōji and Suzune in exchange for their expulsion. Kushida will let Class-C win Paper Shuffle. Later, Ryūen intrudes on the study session and vaguely asks about the email to fish out the Class-D mastermind. A Class-C student, Hiyori Shiina, notes that Ayanokōji and Yukimura have forgettable faces. Thus, she is not sure if they are the mastermind. Feeling comfortable with the study group, Haruka decides to make a friend group where they share their names w

Every student passed Paper Shuffle. While witnessing Ichinose and Arisu hanging out, the Ayanokōji group notes that everything about Ichinose is perfect, which they find unsettling to defeat Class-C for her. A Class-C student follows Karuizawa around. That night, Karuizawa lets Ayanokōji know of the incident and that the Class-A student was spying on their study sessions. The next day, all Class-D students are being provoked by Class-C. Suzune notes that Ryūen is doing this to exploit the master

Karuizawa recounts the conversation from the night before. Ryūen intrudes on Class-D. Kōenji leaves class, with Ryūen and his men giving chase, making Class-D concerned. In the courtyard, Kōenji is confronted by Class-C students as Ryūen starts instigating by breaking Kōenji's property. Arisu and Class-A students arrive to witness the altercation. Kōenji infers that Ryūen is seeking the Class-D mastermind, and defuses the situation by claiming that he has no interest in the inter-class war and h

When Karuizawa hides the truth from Ryūen, Ayanokōji asks Chabashira and Manabu for help. Ayanokōji arrives at the site, reveals himself as the mastermind, and allegedly overwhelms and defeats Ryūen's group. Karuizawa reconciles with Ayanokōji.

Ryūen decides to respect anyone at school. Suzune is consulted by Manabu about the council. Ayanokōji tells Ryūen that he will continue to observe Class-D's process to ascension. He reveals his prediction of Class-D reaching Class-C and getting demoted due to his intention to expel Kushida the following term. On Christmas day, Ayanokōji, Sato, Karuizawa, and Hirata, go on a double date. After this, Ayanokōji lacks romantic feelings for anyone and breaks up with Sato. Ayanokōji receives a gift fr
