Classroom of the Elite, Volume 5 kicks off the Sports Festival Arc — where physical ability meets strategic betrayal. From creator Syougo Kinugasa and artist Yuyu Ichino, this fifth volume pits Class 1-D against the entire school in a competition that has nothing to do with fairness. Rival classes form secret alliances. Teachers look the other way. And Kiyotaka Ayanokoji must decide: stay hidden and let his class lose, or step into the light and become a target. With the points from the Island Survival already spent, this exam could push Class 1-D into expulsion territory.

Classroom of the Elite, Volume 5 – Story Details

Chapters Included: Full Volume 5 (Chapters 17–20)
Story Arc: Sports Festival Arc Begins – Alliances and Sabotage

Key Events:

• The school announces the Sports Festival: a multi-day athletic competition where students compete individually and in teams.

• Unlike previous exams, this one allows students to form cross-class alliances — opening the door for unprecedented betrayal.

• Class 1-D is physically weaker than Class 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C. Winning through pure athleticism is impossible.

• Horikita refuses to ask for help from other classes, insisting that relying on rivals is weakness.

• Kushida, however, secretly approaches Class 1-C and 1-B, attempting to broker deals behind Horikita's back.

• Kiyotaka observes both approaches — and realizes that neither will work. Class 1-D needs a third option.

• A rival class leader, suspecting Kiyotaka's hidden abilities, assigns multiple students to watch him during every event.

• The first day of competition ends with Class 1-D in last place. Morale collapses.

• Kiyotaka quietly approaches an unexpected ally — a student from Class 1-B with her own reasons for hating the top class.

• A deal is struck in secret: certain events will be thrown, points will be shared, and no one will ever know who arranged it.

• The volume ends with Kiyotaka competing in a relay race — and deliberately running slower than his full speed, but faster than anyone expected. A rival's eyes narrow. Suspicion grows.

• Themes of public performance, hidden deals, and the difference between winning and surviving drive every chapter.
