What to expect from Classroom of the Elite season 2

Season 1 has covered the entire three volumes of the light novel series, comprising 26 chapters, so the anime has a plethora of source material to adapt from. The second season will probably cover the next 3 volumes of the light novel series

Season 1 of Classroom of the Elite didn’t delve deeper into Kiyotaka's past, so season 2 will show who he really is and why he didn't land himself in Class A, despite possessing all the required qualities.
