From their humble beginnings as Class 1-D, Horikita and her classmates are ready to begin their third year as Class 3-A! But there's no time for celebrating–the battle is far from over. With only one year left until graduation, even the smallest failure can pull them off track. Not only will they have to fight harder than ever, they'll have to do it without their most influential student: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Amid the chaos of losing Ayanokouji to Class C, Horikita's class finds themselves faced with one cruel truth: if they can't defeat Ayanokouji, they don't stand a chance to graduate from Class A. Do they have what it takes to remain on top, or are they doomed to fail?
