Classroom Of The Elite Light Novel Vol 3

Students of the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School are given remarkable freedom--if they can win, barter, or save enough points to work their way up the ranks! After getting in a fight with students from Class C, Sudou is on the verge of expulsion. Ayanokouji and Horikita may have found a witness in Class D's Sakura, but she's reluctant to make waves and get involved. And even if she did, would anyone trust the word of a Class D student? Meanwhile, Ayanokouji and the others discover additional ways to earn points outside of test scores. But will it be enough to buy their way out of Class D? Or is the system truly rigged against them?

Having survived their final exams, Ayanokoji and the others are looking forward to an idyllic school-sponsored summer vacation aboard a cruise ship. But nothing is ever quite as it seems with the Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School, and the cruise turns out to be the cover for a series of special tests! What grueling new challenges await them out at sea?!

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK As Ayanokouji and his classmates begin their second year at the Advanced Nurturing High School, they’re greeted by a fresh gauntlet of exams and a fresh batch of rather unique first-year students. They’ll have to get to know each other quickly, because the first special exam pairs the first-years with the second-years on a written test—with only the second-years facing expulsion if their team performs poorly! Worse yet? It seems one of the new first-years is also from the White Room. Can Ayanokouji avoid expulsion while sussing out the identity of this hidden foe?

TROUBLE ON THE ISLAND Ayanokouji’s relationship with Karuizawa deepens, while the aftershock of his perfect mathematics score ripples through the school. Horikita asks to join the student council, and is accepted by Nagumo. And summer vacation brings with it no rest, but another special exam–a reprise of the earlier deserted island test. Except this time, it’ll be a battle royale with all three grade levels duking it out against each other!

The second half of the special summer test finds the students duking it out aboard a luxurious cruise ship. Divided into twelve groups patterned after the signs of the Zodiac, all four classes are faced with a devilishly difficult test of their thinking skills. They may have survived the island, but they're not out of hot water yet!
