Classroom Of The Elite “The Material Has To Be Created” Review
Classroom Of The Elite “The Material Has To Be Created” is the fourth episode from the second season of the Classroom Of The Elite anime. Following episode 3 it’s discovered that the VIPs were chosen based on their name’s position in the Hiragana scripture and the corresponding planet group of said VIP. Class-D talks about how Class-C is not fully united. The school will hold a 13-event Sports Festival with the theme of Team Red vs Team White — Team Red consists of Classes A and D, and Team White consists of Classes B and C. The Sports Festival has several merits (the top three placements have a choice between 1,000 private points or bonuses on their written exam) and demerits (the bottom ten placements lose bonuses on their written exam), and classes can decide participants for the events. Kiyotaka and Suzune discuss that strict preparation separates the Sports Festival from the previous two special tests; Suzune wants to win by “unfair” methods, but Kiyotaka believes they can win by “normal” methods. Later, the class decides on choosing participants through skill or volunteering; Suzune suggests that they should pair stronger and weaker students to win the events, at the risk of the weaker students losing out on merits. Kei disagrees with Suzune’s proposal.
Kei refutes that personal choice for events is better and notes that Suzune looks down on everyone and can’t unite the class with that attitude; Kei asks for Kikyo’s opinion, who says to combine both ideas, where the class agrees. Kei and a few students are against Suzune’s view, then Suzune gains the class’ ire by calling them incompetent. Hirata reconciles by getting the class’ votes on whose idea, and the majority chose Suzune’s. Later, Kei and Kiyotaka discuss how he ordered her to refute Suzune’s idea and get Kikyo’s opinion; Kiyotaka predicts that there’ll be a traitor amongst Class-D, then stops after Kei demands more. The class extensively trains for the Festival. After witnessing Suzune argue with a student, Kiyotaka wonders why she can’t compromise; she believes that weaker people are to match the stronger people’s rhythm to win. After a three-legged race, he surmises that she ignores her allies. Kiyotaka proposes that he, Suzune, and Kikyo go surveilling Team White, and he believes that Kikyo sold out her VIP information.
