Classroom of the Elite - Social Mobility

An AU where the adults from CotE are high school students at ANHS from the perspective of Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

At that moment, everyone in the class was equal.
A lie the school told. The gaps in education had already formed long ago, the shackles of poverty leaving scars on the wrists and ankles of those unlucky enough to be born to nothing. The gap could be lessened at this school, but it could not be eradicated entirely.

Nevertheless, with the right amount of ambition, you can defy fate. You can climb to the top of the summit and reach into the clouds to forcefully take your place among the elite.

That was what Ayanokoji Atsuomi intended to do at the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School.

However, he was not unbounded from his upbringing yet. Privilege could be found in every corner of this school resting on its laurels, unbothered by the assumption of equality.
