The second season of Classroom of the Elite has announced its theme songs: “MONSTER” by Eir Aoi will be the opening theme, and “Liar Veil” by ZAQ will play during the ending credits. This new season officially starts the second year of school for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and his classmates, meaning they’ll face a lot of new challenges and rivals within the school’s competitive environment.
