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' desired universities and employers. Students are provided with points worth 100,000 yen every month. However, its true nature is a meritocratic institution 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 bottom tier ridiculed as a place for "defective goods." Through encounters with the beautiful but deeply flawed Suzune Horikita and the angelic-looking girl with a hidden side, Kikyo Kushida, Kiyotaka's situation begins to change...

Raised in a facility called the White Room from the moment he was born, 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.

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're 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 has already ended, 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 campus. There are convenience stores and a shopping mall called Keyaki Mall. Inside the mall, there are bookstores, supermarkets, general stores, pharmacies, clothing stores, karaoke, hospitals, and many other necessities and entertainment facilities besides the ones mentioned. By the way, it seems impossible to leave the school facilities until graduation.
