Just as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka thought he might navigate his second year at Advanced Nurturing High School with a semblance of his carefully constructed anonymity, the gears of fate, or perhaps a more sinister plot, grind into motion once more! His desire for a quiet, controlled existence is about to be shattered by a new wave of challenges.

The new school year unfurls a fresh hellscape of mind games and ruthless exams, beginning with a unique batch of first-year students—each more enigmatic than the last. But this isn't just about outsmarting rivals anymore. The very first special exam pairs second-years with these new recruits on a written test, with an absolutely brutal catch: only the second-years face immediate expulsion if their team falters! The pressure is immense, turning every classroom into a ticking time bomb of distrust.

Worse still, whispers ripple through the elite institution, confirming Ayanokouji’s darkest suspicions: a new White Room student, a product of the very place he escaped, has infiltrated the first-year ranks. This isn't merely a challenge to his quiet existence; it's a direct threat to his freedom, his past looming large and ready to snatch him back. Can Ayanokouji uncover the identity of this hidden foe, protect his classmates from the expulsion axe, and outmaneuver a manipulator bred from his own dark origin, all while keeping his true abilities locked away? The stakes have never been higher, and survival means delving deeper into the psychological abyss of a school designed to break even the strongest wills. Get ready, because the second year is where the true elite are forged... or utterly destroyed.
