Classroom of the Elite (Light Novel) Vol. 1

Product Information

After the brief stop, they visit a cafe where the group's conversation turns into one about the monthly point balances. Kiyotaka also gets him to throw in the answers to the post-admission mock exam from two years earlier as well. The class begins to rejoice over the number of perfect scores, and it appears that all students in the class had gotten scores above the red line on the mock test three weeks ago. Apart from bad characters, the story itself takes forever to get going and once it does, it takes a single step forward and the book’s over. Chabashira realizes that he is aware of how the point system works and agrees to sell the point to him for 100,000 private points.

The entire first volume has crux moments like this and all of them are well-executed in terms of just keeping the tension and suspense high; something that I love seeing in novels. Normally I like to read the English version if it’s available, but this was a bit of an extenuating circumstance. For instance, because we hear his inner voice, we're told that he has a lot of insecurities about not being able to make friends, yet he constantly behaves like a sociopath. She explains that these cards contain points that are used as the currency across campus, the distribution of these points is done monthly, and that 100,000 points had already been deposited.Horikita isn’t sympathetic towards Sudou because she thinks that his abrasive personality indirectly brought trouble in his direction. classroom-of-the-elite-light-novel-volume-1-review

Review copy provided by Seven Seas Entertainment. Even as early as volume 2, it’s strongly hinted that people are allocated to Class D if they have “the most room to grow.

A Class C student mentions that they aren't even studying the correct content for the test and insults them again, to which Sudō loses his temper and grabs him by the collar of his uniform. The Class C students depart after her threat to get teachers involved and she, herself, departs shortly afterwards. After a while of talking, the conversation shifts to stopping the poor behaviours that lost the class points in the first place.will be smaller because it’s based on academic performance – not just your own but the entire class’ performance.

He doesn't think further about the matter and takes the exam the same way he answered the entrance exam. This impression of mine has deepened the more I’ve continued with the series; the appeal is in the mind games and character drama first and foremost.They ask her how she managed to rescind the expulsion, but she states that it was a secret, showing that Kiyotaka had her take credit for his plan once again. As the novel continues, I’m sure there will be a lot more to talk about regarding them than just talking about some of the established patterns of the novel, but this is what I found most interesting among revisiting this series after watching the anime back when it was originally airing.
