Stick to legal streamers; Crunchyroll has the franchise covered. ## Synopsis Ayanokouji and his class move up into their second year at the Advanced Nurturing High School, where another round of grueling exams and an unusual new group of first-years are waiting. The opening challenge teams each upperclassman with a first-year for a written test, yet the risk is lopsided: only the second-years stand to be expelled if their pair falls short. Complicating things further, one of the newcomers appears to have come from the same White Room that shaped Ayanokouji, so he has to protect his own place at the school while quietly working out which of the first-years is the rival hiding in plain sight. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** TV - **Episodes:** 16 - **Premiered:** 2026 - **Studio:** lerche - **Score:** 7.8 ## Watch Order This is the fourth season of Classroom of the Elite, so it's not the place to jump in.
