New School Year, New Challenges: The OAA App and Special Exams
In this new arc, Ayanokouji and his friends have finally progressed to their second year. However, things are not going smoothly as they are starting again in D class after some narrow losses. As the new school year approaches, the school is introducing a brand new app called "OAA" (Over All Ability). This app basically allows every student to see their numerical abilities, which makes the competition even more cutthroat than before.
The first special exam for the second-year students has been announced, and it’s quite a tricky one. It is a written exam where first-year and second-year students have to work in partnership. They have to use the OAA app as a reference to find the best partners. But there is a huge catch—among the new juniors, there are hidden assassins from the White Room who are out to get Ayanokouji. This is exactly why this psychological thriller is a must-watch anime and manga masterpiece for anyone who loves high-stakes mind games.
