Classroom of the Elite (TV series)

The Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School is a government-run institution where students are divided into four ranked classes (A through D). The school uses the "S-System," which awards "Private Points" based on class merit. Class D begins the series with zero points after failing to adhere to school regulations. Season 1 Kiyotaka Ayanokōji enrolls in Class D and meets Suzune Horikita and Kikyō Kushida. The class discovers that their monthly point allowance is tied to their collective behavior and academic performance. After the class fails their midterms, Ayanokōji and Horikita use points to "buy" the passing grades of several students to prevent their expulsion. Class D student Ken Sudō is accused of assaulting three students from Class C. A hearing is held before the Student Council to determine his expulsion. Ayanokōji and Horikita set up a security camera trap to coerce the Class C students into withdrawing their complaint, resulting in Sudō remaining in school. The school conducts a Special Test on a deserted island. Each class is given 300 points to survive for a week; remaining points are added to their class total. Classes must designate a secret "leader." Despite internal sabotage and the theft of Horikita's keycard, Class D wins the exam after Ayanokōji correctly identifies the leaders of Class A and Class C while successfully hiding Class D's leader. Season 2 Students are divided into 12 groups based on the Western zodiac for the "Zodiac Test." One "VIP" is hidden in each group. The objective is to identify the VIP through group discussions. During the exam, Ayanokōji discovers Kei Karuizawa's history of being bullied and forms a pact to protect her in exchange for her cooperation in his future plans. The school holds a sports festival where Class D is paired with Class A against Class B and Class C. Kakeru Ryūen of Class C uses a traitor within Class D to sabotage their efforts. Despite the internal interference, Ayanokōji wins a relay race against Student Council President Manabu Horikita, though Class D finishes last in the overall standings. The students take the "Paper Shuffle" exam, where classes design test questions for their rivals. Class D is paired against Class C. Horikita manages the class's study groups, while Ayanokōji prevents Kushida from sabotaging the class's exam papers. Ryūen kidnaps and interrogates Kei Karuizawa at a construction site to force the "mastermind" of Class D into the open. Ayanokōji arrives and physically defeats Ryūen and his associates. Ryūen takes responsibility for the incident and steps down as Class C's leader, and Class D is subsequently promoted to Class C. Season 3 Students are sent to a mountain facility for a "Mixed Training Camp." They are divided into groups by gender and grade level, requiring cooperation between rival classes. The exam focuses on traditional arts, physical endurance, and a final written test. The school introduces an emergency exam: the "Class Poll." Each student must cast three "praise" votes and three "censure" votes for their own classmates. The student with the most censure votes in each class is expelled. This results in the expulsion of Yahiko Totsuka from Class A and Teruhiko Yukimura from the original Class D. The final exam of the year is the "Event Selection Exam." Class leaders choose seven specific events (such as chess, basketball, or written tests) to compete in. Ayanokōji faces Arisu Sakayanagi of Class A in a chess match. Although Ayanokōji’s move is winning, Acting Director Tsukishiro uses the school's computer system to change the move, leading to a Class A victory. The school year ends with Class C (formerly D) moving toward the second year. Season 4 ==Series overview==
