Classroom of the Elite Season 2 Episode 1 - Mars Group meeting

Ichinose of Class 1-B appointed herself as the group moderator, as no one in the room was taking the leap to do so. After Ichinose asked her group if anyone was interested in taking her position, Ayanokouji noticed that it was a trap laid for the victims to make them reveal everything by conferring upon them the charge of being the moderator.

As a moderator, Ichinose insisted that everyone go along with Case 1, as every member will be rewarded with 500,000 private points and the VIP will get a million points, without dealing any penalty. Although most people in the group showed no dissatisfaction with the idea, Machida of Class 1-A chose to abstain along with his allies.

Saki, Nanami, and Shiho wanted to pick a fight with Karuizawa, but they got interrupted by Machida. After a short break, the Mars Group concluded their meeting, but Machida and his team stood firm on their decision.
