Classroom of the Elite: Beyond Ayanokoji, There's Me in Class D

Gu Heng finds himself in Classroom of the Elite, enrolling as a first-year student in Class D at the Advanced Nurturing High School.

He knows what this school does best isn't nurturing geniuses. It's forcing students to test, weed out, and trample one another-all within the rules.

The good news? He knows some of the original plot.

The bad news? From his very first day, the future has already begun to veer off course.

Worse still, he can see each person's decision weights in any given situation.

It's not mind reading. It's not omniscience. He simply has a clearer understanding of one thing:

Who values their pride more than class points. Who talks about cooperation while thinking only of self-preservation. Whose gentle smile hides the strongest urge to plant a knife in your back.

And so, Class D gains a second monster.

Ayanokoji keeps himself hidden. Gu Heng steps into the spotlight.

He isn't here to replace Ayanokoji. He's here to establish another way to win at this school:

Not by crushing everyone underfoot, but by taking a class of scattered individuals and forging them, through sheer determination, into the strongest fighting force on campus.
