KADOKAWAanime recently shared the first trailer of Classroom of the Elite Season 3 on YouTube. The trailer features the main cast, and the caption explains the synopsis and main cast of the upcoming season. Since the caption is in Japanese, we’ve shared an English version below:

“3rd Term Introduction: Tokyo Advanced High School is a dream-like school that boasts a 100% advancement and employment rate and rewards points worth 100,000 yen every month. However, in reality, it was a merit-based school where only a few students with excellent grades received preferential treatment. 

“In the third semester, Ayanokoji and his friends are promoted from D class to C class and head to forest school. What will be held there is a special exam called a “mixed training camp” that will be held jointly by all grades. In this test, students are divided into groups by gender and are graded on a group-by-group basis. 

“The students are horrified by the fact that they can’t get a high score unless they cooperate with students from other classes who have been competing against them, and most of all, they are horrified by the rule that any group that fails to reach the borderline will be expelled. The turbulent third semester, which causes upheaval, is about to begin!”
