A brief recap of Classroom of the Elite season 3 episode 2
After running nine kilometers up the mountain, Yukimura was not in a condition to move as he sprained his leg. Due to this, Ishizaki and others criticized him for being an unworthy leader. After everyone left, Hashimoto stayed behind to help Yukimura, and Kiyotaka decided to bring Koenji, who wasn’t acting as a team player. Despite Kiyotaka’s best efforts, Koenji’s attitude remained steadfast.
During dinner, Kiyota encountered one of Miyabi’s accomplices and successfully gathered intel on what was happening within the girl’s group. Later at night, during bedtime, Yukimura, Ishizaki, and the other boys had a heart-to-heart conversation, which eventually dropped the animosity they were carrying within their hearts for each other.
The next day, Yukimura’s group, excluding Koenji, followed their leader’s advice without question and took part in strategizing for the upcoming relay race. At night, Kiyotaka ran into Tachibana crying in solitary.
Upon learning the reason behind her distress, he discovered that she was sad for Manabu taking the burden of carrying the weight of the entire class and accepting Nagumo’s challenge.
Later, Kiyotaka also witnessed a clandestine meeting between Ryuuen and Manabu after he discreetly followed Hashimoto. The next day, the eight-day training concluded, and Yukimura’s group earned victory after giving their all in the relay race. The results were made public, and Manabu’s group was declared winner.
However, much to Manabu’s fear, he realized that Nagumo’s challenge was just a smokescreen, as the latter was trying to hurt the former emotionally by plotting to expel Tachibana.
Nagumo made Ikari Momoko make her group give a subpar performance and lose in the end, which will get her expelled as the leader of a small group and also a person of her choice from the group, for which she chose Tachibana as planned.
Manabu wouldn’t let Tachibana get expelled, so he decided to use his 20 million private points and 300 class points to save her. After meeting Kei, Kiyotaka explained to her that he saw all that coming and revealed that Nagumo planned to hurt Manabu emotionally and deplete him of his points.
He further stated that Nagumo has all of the second-year students to chip in, while Manabu has one class of funds to pull from. While leaving, Kiyotaka assured Kei that he wouldn’t let her get explained at any given cost.
What to expect from Classroom of the Elite season 3 episode 3?
Classroom of the Elite season 3 episode 3 will likely see more students being put in a tight spot as Nagumo has just begun. As Kiriyama revealed in the premise of the third season, Nagumo is trying to use his power to overturn the foundations of ANHS, and his actions were believed to see an unprecedented number of expulsions next year.
In the last scene of Classroom of the Elite season 3 episode 2, even Kiyotaka seemed to agree that more students would get expelled. The upcoming installment will see the battle between the former and the new Students Council President taking new heights that will shake the whole series narrative.
Stay tuned for more news and updates on Classroom of the Elite season 3 episode 3.
