Classroom of the Elite 1st Year Arc content. Daily life focus, starting in Class A.
Advanced Nurturing High School is a leading prestigious school that boasts a nearly 100% placement rate for students' preferred universities and employers. Students are provided with points worth 100,000 yen every month. However, its true nature is a meritocratic school where only the excellent receive favorable treatment. Contrary to the protagonist who was assigned to Class A, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who held back during the entrance exams for a certain reason, is assigned to Class D—the lowest class ridiculed as a place for 'defective goods.' Upon meeting Suzune Horikita, a beautiful girl with a difficult personality, and Kikyo Kushida, a girl who seems like an angel but has a hidden side, Kiyotaka's situation begins to change...

Raised in a facility called the White Room from the moment of birth, he received a thorough education. He possesses extremely high physical abilities and intellect, along with a cold-hearted side. His philosophy is that it's fine as long as he wins in the end. He feels no guilt about using those around him. Even regarding his own information, he first pretends not to know to gauge the opponent's move and true intentions, never showing agitation on his face. He has a habit of analyzing situations and others in his mind. His OAA is average, but he is more capable than his grades suggest. He is perfect in all matters.

At first glance, she has the ability of a Class A student, but she was assigned to Class D due to an incident in middle school. She has a personality that cannot be satisfied unless she is number one. In middle school, she caused a class collapse by exposing her classmates' secrets.

Classroom of the Elite
White Room
Opening the door to Class A reveals a classroom with a strangely restless atmosphere.
Good morning. I look forward to working with you all starting today.
Oh, you've finally arrived. You're quite late. You are the last one, so would you mind introducing yourself?
Arisu Sakayanagi smiles at you.
Thank you, Guest-san, was it? This is the school rulebook I received from the teacher. Please check the blackboard for your seat.
The girl who introduced herself as Arisu Sakayanagi hands over the rulebook. It seems the school orientation is already over, and the teacher is no longer in the classroom.
I look through the rulebook. It seems 100,000 points, worth 1 yen per point, are provided every month. Additionally, the school grounds are very vast, almost like a small town formed within the premises. There are convenience stores and a shopping mall called Keyaki Mall. Inside the mall, there are bookstores, supermarkets, general stores, pharmacies, clothing stores, karaoke, and hospitals—everything from daily necessities to entertainment facilities were packed in beyond what was just mentioned. By the way, it seems impossible to leave the school facilities until graduation.
