Synopsis

A more ruthless Classroom of the Elite with harder challenges; also, no Ayanokōji, no White Room – let's try to swap them with a handful of girls who want to challenge the rules.

In a world locked in endless winter due to failed geoengineering, humanity's survivors live underground, relying on Machines—advanced AIs that provide food, energy, and protection. As the Machines begin to reset the climate, they remain wary of governments and refuse to restore their power. Instead, they demand the formation of a new elite, trained under their guidance, to lead a safer future. Nations must send their brightest students, vying for top positions to regain autonomy. The rivalry is intense: after a tough selection, four years of study follow, with tests of intelligence, charisma, and diplomacy. Allies are crucial, but in a game of shifting loyalties, today’s friend could turn against you tomorrow. In this ruthless "classroom of the elite," survival demands strategy, and no one is innocent.

Note from author

Just a modest story enriched with quotes from various sources, especially anime and manga, starting from the title itself. It’s envisioned as a fresh take on ‘Classroom of the Elite,’ with no OP characters, and where triumph is rooted only in logic and creativity.
Though designed as a five-volume series, my current priority is to ensure the first book stands strong. The cover is provisional, as the main characters are yet to appear; a finalized version will be available in two weeks. I intend to release at least one chapter weekly and hope to increase that frequency. Your questions, critiques, and suggestions are highly encouraged!
P.S.: This novel is set in a world where 97% of the population has vanished, so girls are expected to marry young, remain at home and bear children. However, some of my characters passionate disagree, and I aim to support their journeys.
