Author's Postscript

Somehow, I was able to release this in four months. I'm Kinugasa with a hernia. Thank you all for your support this year as well. A year really goes by quickly, and before I know it, one of my children will be starting elementary school this spring. I believe that playing with all their might every day at kindergarten or daycare is a child's social role, but the fact that they are about to jump into a society that includes studying... As a parent, I'm half excited and half worried.

Well, let's put my story aside for now and talk a little about 'Classroom of the Elite.' Following the previous time, the story has entered the third term of the second-year. After the hard-hitting development during the previous volume, I provided something slightly more relaxed this time. And next time, it will finally be the last special exam of the second-year, the end-of-year special exam. Those who have already finished reading the main story will understand, but I am planning a story that will greatly affect the main characters up to this point. And currently, the third season of the 'Classroom of the Elite' TV anime is airing. I would be happy if you could check that out as well!

Finally... As I wrote at the beginning, about the condition of my herniated neck. These days, there's nothing I can do about it, and my work pace has slowed down considerably. The pain is so severe that I hate sitting in a chair. When I was healthy, if the ratio of work time was six and rest time was four, I made it nine for work and one for rest to somehow cover the slowdown. But there's no way I can keep this ratio forever, and I think my body is at its limit... So I'm considering taking a little time off to completely rest in the future and focusing on recovery. In that case, the release of the next volume may be delayed. I intend to work harder than ever when I recover, so I would appreciate your understanding. 'Classroom of the Elite' is of course the first priority, but I have many other things I want to do besides that.

Well then, everyone, hoping for the quickest possible reunion—see you again!

RoyalMTL's Afterword

Hey there everyone, Cast here again. I'll jump straight into it by saying that this volume definitely turned out well. There were some points in the story that didn't sit right with me like the fact that Horikita and Ibuki's fight with Ichika was done off screen, or the lack of detail surrounding Kiyo and Nagumo's match. Nevertheless, this was still a very good volume all around and I want to give a massive thank you to my team for helping produce the best quality translation that we could under the circumstances for this volume. As some of you may have noticed, the digital version of the Japanese release for Volume 11 came out about a week later than usual. This did throw some holes into our schedule for the translation but luckily, we were still able to complete it in a timely manner for you all.

Once again, thank you so much to the author, Shogo Kinugasa, for writing this series. Everyone, please consider buying one of the official copies for Classroom of the Elite so that we may be able to support the author even more.

In his postscript, Kinugasa seems to be dealing with some health issues so let's all hope for his speedy recovery.

Hope you guys enjoyed this volume and thank you for your continuous support! Keep checking in on our website to be updated on Classroom of the Elite translations and consider joining our discord events and early access!

I was Busy with Work, After finishing my work, I realized I didn't have my laptop with me. So, I used my smartphone to upload the volume, which took much longer than I expected. It was quite a difficult task.

Let's pray for Sensei's health; the next volume might be delayed, as Sensei mentioned in his postscript.

Anyway, I'm curious about the age range of our readers here. I know most of you are teenagers, but I'd like to know specific ages. Please tell me your age in the comment.

Thank you for reading. 読んでいただきありがとうございます.

See you in the next volume!
