Classroom of the Elite: Year 3 (Light Novel) Vol. 1

From their humble beginnings as Class 1-D, Horikita and her classmates now begin their third year as Class 3-A--but the battle isn't over yet. With only one year left until graduation, there's no room for even the smallest failure. And not only will they have to fight harder than ever, they'll have to do it without their most influential person: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Amid the chaos of losing Ayanokouji to Class C, Horikita's class finds itself faced with one cruel truth: If they can't defeat Ayanokouji, they don't stand a chance to graduate from Class A. Does Horikita's class have what it takes, or is their time at the top doomed to be short-lived?
