How does this sound...?

This is my idea of the end-of-semester special exam before winter break. Because I'd mainly have the last third of year 3 dedicated to the White Room's direct approach and Kiyotaka's salvaution.
The exam is titled "The Cavalry Special Exam."
Current Class Standings:
Class 3-A (Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's class)
Class 3-B (Honami Ichinose's class)
Class 3-C (Kakeru Ryuen's class)
Class 3-D (Suzune Horikita's class)
(Previously in Fote: after year 3 vol 4 events, where Kiyo lost and his class went down to class D, he locked in fr fr, and he basically took class D to A during the last 3 months, and by definition, he was easily able to steal cpts fairly by winning per circumstances.)
Now it is Class A vs. D.
And Class B vs. C
So the rules of the special exam are as follows:
Each class will select 7 members; one will act as the main general and command 5 students who will be scattered across campus. They will be given tasks varying with context; sometimes direct challenges and orders from the general will be given as well. The 7th position will be of the hidden general, whose identity will be chosen to remain to be kept as a secret, only if their general wishes. Also, if one general reveals the identity of his hidden general, their class would lose 10 cpts. However, if they find the identity of the other hidden general, they will gain 300 cpts, and the opponent's hidden general will be expelled... however, there is no penalty if they reveal it on purpose; guessing the identity won't work; proof is required... the class whose members or hidden general survive till the end or who complete tasks first wins and will gain 150 cpts... Its duration would be one day, and the time limit of the exam would be 6 hours.
Main General: The Main General remains inside the designated Strategy Room. They cannot leave. Their role is to: monitor task progress Communicate with cavalry, distribute priorities, and predict enemy movements. Communication is only through school-issued encrypted devices.
Cavalry Members: Five members operate throughout campus.
Each receives random missions, confrontational events, cooperation tasks, and interception opportunities. Examples: Capture checkpoints and solve timed puzzles. Escort NPCs to secure information packets. Defend locations; failure reduces accumulated points.
Hidden General: This is the heart of the exam. Every class secretly appoints one Hidden General. The identity may remain completely unknown—even to most of their own class. The Hidden General: may freely move around campus, may advise cavalry, may gather intelligence, and may relay information indirectly. Unlike the Main General... they have no visible title. To everyone else... they are simply another student.

So here is the deal, in Horikita's class, Horikita herself serves as the main general, Sudo, Onodera, Akito, Ike i suppose (could be anyone lol), but the best best part, Kei becomes the hidden general, but she herself does not give Horikita info, she has developed coded ways to let other classmates mssg Horikita for example she explains a scenario where she can think why kiyotaka does something like this and brushes her hair out of her face, that's Kushida to mssg Horikita, need i add that the big ones, being Kushida, Hirata, Matsushida, etc are the ones who will mssg as per given types, when Hashimoto (Ayanokoji's class's hidden general) spies on Horikita class, he sees multiple students and can't quie place it, and even can't guess it who is the one...

For the sake of something, Hashimoto does say Kei's name as a guess, but Kiyotaka immediately counters with i need evidence, he stalls Hashimoto on multiple occasions to the point he tells the teachers, but the teachers say the general is the one who will make the shots, another small interesting detail that even he does figure out her being the hidden general, he won;t allow her to be expelled.

So after the exam, when he loses, he asks horikita that how she managed to counter all his strategies. She says she won't take credit, as it is not her doing but her hidden general's. This is where she will reveal the name of her hidden general...

so his walk alone, dual thoughts, dual narrations (logical vs subconscious)

Logical is like very cold, subconscious leaks of softness and protectiveness. Subconscious also reveals that if Hashimoto had gone against him, he could've just used his protection point to save her (he may have gained a new protection point by some prior special exam)

so he walks to class d outside, and from their open door he sees class d gathered round her, praising/buttering her, with her mostly denying such praises... they all stop when they see him, he sighs, closes his eyes, and he let out a smile, one that even reached his eyes, his gaze fixed on Kei, and we get his true monolouge, subconcious's awakening, where he says to himself that he is proud of kei, dropped all the rationales he had given her, parasite, pawn, textbook, he tells himself she had already defeated those rationales a long time ago, he just chose to accept it today, he even calls her presence truly indespensible, congratualated her in his monlouge by ending it with, "Well done.... Kei..."

So do let me know what you think. There is room for improvement, yes, but this is the general thoughts/ideas involved...

Just Curious...

Hey guys... had any of you bought the physical magazine for voting for Kei during the comic alive 2026 contest... the free likes are like worth 1 point, the physical magazine code is worth 100 points...?
So do tell me how many of you did purchase it... winning depends on this for Kei

Well... wouldn't this be interesting...?

So with the Classroom of the Elite Light Novels following, Year 3 is on the horizon. I personally believe that a conversation between Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and Kei Karuizawa is due big time now. Now there is no bias involved here; I personally want this conversation to be emotionally devastating for both our characters. One way I would love to see this is as follows:
Our main cast of characters have a special exam that requires all students to show off their capabilities in this special exam. So a very desperate Horikita, just to get Koenji's cooperation, would set him a date with Kei since he might consider giving them the help they need. Kei would object at first but would reluctantly agree given the pressure she has on her.
So on the day of the date, Kiyotaka and Hiyori are in a cafe discussing, well, books. During all of this he spots the important figures of Class A being Horikita, Sudo, Hirata, Kushida and Karuizawa. He believes they are here for a strategy discussion, when he sees Horikita whispering to an annoyed Karuizawa as she leaves her seat and goes to sit across from Koenji.
Now, Koenji, being Koenji, knows Ayanokoji-boy is here, so he acts smug and full of pride (all in all, like his usual self). We all remember Koenji's infamous mirror conversation to Kiyotaka in Y2V12.5, so he is eager for the challenge and is ready to prove himself correct, so he repeatedly and in a very loud voice perhaps praises Kei, quite a lot, which she poor girl, doesn't know why he is doing this. So after every word, he looks in the direction of Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka, however, seems unfazed by this. His logical side would accept this as natural and quite logical outcome, however a nasty voice inside him asks him, "Then why does this hurt?" Hiyori would also question him why isn't he concentrated in their conversations. Kiyotaka would rationalise immediately about it. Koenji seeing this, would then invade her personal space, which would prompt a physical reaction for him, which Hiyori would identify as his fist was clenched, he'd rationalise it as cool breeze. But Koenji would cross a line perhaps. Kiyotaka would stand up, excuse Hiyori as he would need to use the washroom. Hirata would notice this and inform the other 3. So Kiyotaka leaves, and Koenji follows him. In the washrooms, Koejni would smug talk to which Ayanokoji should ignore, but when he says that perhaps he'll keep Karuizawa-girl, that short-circuits his programming logic, and he would visibly threaten Koenji, Koenji remains unfazed, talks smug again, he shifts his body weight, Koenji prepares to defend, when Hirata interupts it, we see Ayanokoji's fist just an inch from Koenji's face, and Koenji's hand, 2 inches from his arm. Ayanokoji tells Youske not to worry as there was some slight misunderstanding between the two, as he left and went to Hiyori. Koenji leaves the cafe, leaving Kei to sigh in relief, Hirata informs the other 3 that Koenji has refused to cooperate. After a few minutes, Kei tells the 4 she needs some air and time alone so she leaves. Exactly after 1 minute, Kiyotaka, who had set an alarm, fakes it as a phone call and excuses Hiyori as this is very important, so he leaves the cafe. He follows Karuizawa from a distance, not too far, neither too closely. She is walking through Keyaki Mall, though not like her usual self, rather slowly. So she stops infront of a boutique and sees a dress, a periwinkle-blue dress. She enters the store, sees it up closely, fairs it up against herself front of a full length mirror. She sees the price tag, to which she mutters, "Why am I even here? I don't even need this..." So she leaves, and Kiyotaka follows again, and she leads to an empty alley corridor of the mall, where she calls him out for following her. So he asks her straight away about the date with Koenji, she tells him the scope, and he seems dissappointed with Horkita, saying he expected more from her, she pushes back, asking whether he is saying because of some sort of feelings, he replies saying, "Why would a mere tool be more than just a tool?" Now there is awkward silence between them, Kiyotaka engages in small talk, and he is very bad while engaging is small talk, which Kei would point it out for him, after sometime they walk together, however this time, there is a considerable gap between them. They walked past the boutique again; Kei peeks in to see the dress if it had been sold, but it was still there. Kiyotaka, without thinking, moves inside the store, buys it, and gives it to her. Kei tells him she can't accept it, as it is a waste of money/private points. Kiyotaka's logical side agrees, while the nasty voice says, "Don't be ridiculous, why would spending on her ever be a waste?" So she reluctantly agrees and keeps the dress. So they walk for a little while, Kiyotaka asks her if she ever thought of dating anyone after their break up, she replies that she never really thought about it all but sadly admits it might be nice if she did find a new boyfriend (she said this as a joke, half heartedly, with all the courage she could muster), Kiyotaka is shook Kiyotaka is silent, Kei notices, but she does not react, she had doubts, one of them is cleared he asks her, in a low voice, perhaps his voice had broken...but why would you Kei goes full ehh?? mode Kiyotaka asks her again if she ever were given a choice would she do it Kei replied darkly, "Well, I do need to move on, as I know you won't be always there to protect me... who knows, I might just get expelled?" Kiyotaka leans in, closing the distance and says in a low clear voice, "I won't allow it... no matter what happens, no matter what the condition, no matter what twisted ways i have to use, no matter who I have to sacrifice I'll always protect you."

Pheww.... this was long i suppose, but i aim for something like, do tell me your take guys on this... i would really appreciate your honest opinions.... ><

Can you explain how...?

Guys... I have a genuine query...

Now since we are in the final year of Classroom of the Elite LNs... and we all hope for a kiyokei reunion... I would love to ask your opinions on how do you think Kiyotaka would "reject" other girls verbally...

So what do you guys say...?

If it were ever revealed in Year 3, what Kiyotaka had been drawing... I for one believe it could be one of the most emotional moments in COTE, especially if it is regarding Kiyokei... I imagine a scenario where either Shiina or Ichinose is in his room, and they accidentally stumble upon his sketchpad... curiosity getting the better of them, they open it and their heart drops... We know for a fact that Kei's cheerful and bursting profiles are burnt into his memory, what if it were to be revealed that he drew her all along, with dates on top, every profile of hers... even after the breakup, he did continue to draw.
When asked, I can most obviously see him rationalising it by logic, but Shiina and Ichinose are very intelligent; when pushed his subconscious side betrays him into saying something like, "When I sat down to draw... I didn't decide. I didn't... plan. The pencil moved. I observed the marks later. I didn't choose to draw her. I just... did. It was...It was like... breathing. I didn't think about it. My hand knew what it was doing. It... it drew her because...Because I needed to see her. Even if it was just on paper. Even if it wasn't real. I needed... I needed her face in front of me. That's the only reason I drew. To... to see her again. Every day. Over and over. Because..."
something like this or different, but this is my vision of it...
And Shiina/Ichinose reactions should be very important so take your pic from either or choose both idk...
but this is like my general vision.... what do you think???

Guys... I noticed this....

So apparently i was doing a rewatch of COTE S2, so in the ending/outro, I feel like this is Kei at the rooftop...or many "other" people think it is Chabashira, which I don't get.
There was an interesting analysis of the S2 ending with certain students having levels of abilities by the placement of them on stairs... Also, the lyrics are also somewhat intentionally foreshadowing.
Let me know what you think...

u/Less_Programmer7126 — 2 months ago

Guys... is it just me or...?

So i had been wondering for a while—I mean, reading LNs and all that good stuff (tho it is slow atm)...
But I want to confess I want the whole school to learn about Kei's past about being bullied and all, leaked by an anonymous figure to the school website...
Also I'd want them to have a trip or special exam, and the focus to be Kei Karuizawa's hometown, where she does end up running into her past bullies from middle school...
What do you guys think? [Also they'd make up great development moments for Kei, but also Kiyotaka who'd (imo should) look out for her without understanding...
What is ur take?
