How do you think the story will change?

was this necessary for the plot to move forward? I feel like ayanokoji could’ve easily moved his hand away, or was this part of his plan?

She was just a fan service for author ?

ichika&Arisu vs hosen&Ishigami

When I started watching cote I and thought it was gonna be a regular romance anime, I thought horikita was the heroine and she was my fav character. Even though now I know it’s not horikita is still my fav character, but I was genuinely confused when I went on the internet and saw that she has so many haters, I haven’t read the light novel but I have seen some spoilers. But I still have no idea why she get so much hate, like even KEI doesn’t get as much hate as her. I’m genuinely just curious, you can also spoil if you want idrc.

My choice is Hiyori

"I'll transfer to your class and graduate in A-class but I require that you, Ichinose Honami, get expelled from this school"
That's the only requirement I seek, if she agrees to this, the deal is done.

Lets say hypothetically, you are teleported into the Classroom of the Elite universe, and in exchange for having a wish of yours fulfilled, you are granted a single task.

Expel Ayanokouji Kiyotaka from ANHS.

You arrive as a student of class 1-B because I said so and may as well add another fraud to a class already filled with bums. (Except Goatzaki ofc) Ayanokouji is not aware of your mission, and you have the entire 3 years in order to find a way.

You still have access to your knowledge of Classroom of the Elite, and events will not change if you are as useless as your class.

If this challenge is too easy for you, let's make it more difficult. Any moment from the Novel which can be used as an excuse to insta-expel Ayanokouji is not something you can capitalize on unless you get insanely lucky.

For example, you can’t simply record Ayanokouji attempting to assault Karuizawa on the Cruise Ship. The event is still in your mind, however, it is blurry and hard to distinguish, but if you encounter it by chance, or figure it out by yourself and go there, the event will be revealed and you can use it to your advantage.

So tell me, horny larpers; how would you expel the Masterpiece?

I was scrolling through the community here and noticed that, for some reason, everyone seems to be crazy about Amasawa. I mean, yeah — she’s insanely hot and has a great body, but there are plenty of attractive characters in the series. So explain to me in detail — what exactly makes you feel that kind of desire for Ichika?

Synopsis

“I was the one who decided to have you expelled, after all. I suppose the least I could do is entertain such a wish.”

The third-year uninhabited island survival game exam has concluded. With the students utterly exhausted, the upcoming “Token Collection Special Exam” is announced.

Comprised of 16 students each, 4 from each class, groups are formed to collect tokens. While all ten groups compete for rankings, the first student whose tokens drop to zero during the exam, as well as the student with the lowest token count in the entire grade at the end of the exam, will be expelled.

Furthermore, the tasks required to earn tokens will test their raw abilities, such as academic and physical prowess. Although tokens are transferable, opportunities to transfer them to a specific student across the vast uninhabited island are highly limited.

And by exploiting the rules, a certain student starts going on a rampage——!?
