Summary: Classroom of the Elite: After the Information Update, They Always Want to Win Me Over! — Chapter 426

Key Plot Points & Events

1. Ayanokouji's Decision: Ayanokouji reveals a choice that eliminates himself as a rival in the Student Council president race (referencing Horikita Manabu's earlier lesson that graduating from Class A grants elite university/employment advantages). Class B's student council candidates (Honami, Kikyou, Suzune) now have one fewer competitor.
2. New Special Exam Intel: The Uninhabited Island Exam's team formation rules are revealed — teams cannot form arbitrarily; they must complete assignments and rank high enough to qualify. This means weaker groups may not get to participate.
3. Ishizaki's Invitation: Ishizaki (from another class) plans to invite Ayanokouji to his team, with Shiina joining in.
4. Class Card Distribution: At a class meeting led by Hirata, Class B's totals are announced: 8 Lead Cards, 7 Additional, 7 Halving, 8 Hitchhike, 7 Insurance, 1 Trial Card (held by Ayanokouji), 0 Nullification, 0 Recruitment. Cards cannot be exchanged within the same class.
5. Trial Card Debate: The Trial Card gives 1.5x Class Points if the group places top 30%, but penalties if they fail. Classmates initially want it given to Shimizu or Hirata instead, but Horikita notes cards can't be exchanged internally.
6. Ayanokouji's Proposal: He offers a third option — form a group alone, then allow others to join mid-exam to push for a six-person team. If no one joins, only he suffers the penalty. He requests 500,000 Private Points from the class fund to buy protective cards from other classes since other class leaders will target him. The class unanimously agrees; Horikita transfers the funds.
7. Team Formation Advice: Horikita and Hirata suggest one-boy-two-girls teams (boys handle physical tasks; girls handle cooking/organizing). Cross-class teams are permitted. Kushida and Hirata offer to mediate matchmaking. Deadline: end of June.
8. Lunch Scene: Shimizu shares Shiranami Chihiro's handmade sweets (she traded cards with him that morning and made them for his girlfriends). The three girls are charmed, and it earns Shiranami goodwill and interest in befriending her.

• Kushida Kikyou: Shows a playful, devoted side — feeding him from her mouth, teasing him, and accepting she'd follow him abroad if needed.

• Shiranami Chihiro: Demonstrates thoughtfulness by making sweets for Shimizu's girlfriends, building social bridges.
