With the joys of cruise ship adventures now over, Classroom of The Elite season 2 episode 4 returns once again to the classic form of competition – the sports carnival.
Sports festival will come at some point, there is no anime about school life without a bit of competition around sports. Even in the case of Classroom of The Elite, it is even more competitive than average. On the plus side, the new test makes a lot more sense than the previous one, because one way or another, everyone understands it’s impossible without team coordination.
Every new quiz in this series revolves around a specific character (or characters), and in this case, it’s all about Suzune. While she did get her screen time in the limelight last season, it’s not hard to see where things are going. Suzune is still quite stuck, she still believes in doing her best personally and has absolutely no intention of helping anyone when she sees no benefit.
In a way, Suzune was a more assertive Kiyotaka, but unlike Kiyotaka didn’t understand that there was a limit to what one could do. A well-functioning team, i.e. a coordinated group working towards a common goal, will always achieve more than any individual. Maybe this sports festival will help Suzune understand and appreciate that difference.
However, Suzune alone wasn’t the only focus at the moment; I can’t forget the scene where Kiyotaka called Kikyou a very blatant traitor. Now, with only episode 4 of Classroom of The Elite season 2, it’s not easy to guess where this is coming from. Why sell out your entire class without any obvious reward? But considering Kikyou’s two-faced personality, it’s not hard to assume that it has something to do with her hatred of everything Suzune has done. Or if Kiyotaka even told the truth in the first place because it was also part of some plan.
Actually, it’s all guesswork at this point, but one thing is for sure, the fun and the game here is just beginning. After all, it can’t be forgotten that Class A in terms of the rules of the game cooperated with Class D for this sports festival. Rest assured that it will be tempting to strategize about that in the future.
