The 20 Million Point Bounty and Yagaki’s Warning
The biggest talking point going into Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 7 is the massive reward hanging over Ayanokoji’s head. A 20 million private point bounty means any student who manages to get Ayanokoji expelled will walk away with a fortune. This single fact has turned the entire school against the usually calm strategist.
Episode 7 focuses on Yagaki Takuya as he steps forward to issue a serious warning. The first-year students are eager to get rid of Ayanokoji, but Yagaki understands the risks better than most. He knows that Ayanokoji is not a normal student. His connection to the White Room makes him a dangerous target, and Yagaki warns his classmates not to act without a proper plan.
Yagaki Takuya warns the first-year students against making reckless moves, hinting that a direct attack on Kiyotaka Ayanokoji without proper strategy will lead to their own destruction.
The White Room is a facility that produces perfect students through years of extreme training. Since Episode 6 confirmed that another White Room agent is hiding among the students, Yagaki’s warning carries extra weight. He knows exactly what Ayanokoji is capable of.
First-Year Meeting Turns Into a Fight
While the second-year students are busy forming teams for the island survival test, the first-year class representatives gather for their own discussion. This meeting does not go well. Episode 7 shows the representatives trying to set rules for how teams will work, but tempers flare almost immediately.
Hosen Kazuomi refuses to join any group unless his demands are met through point-based transactions. He does not care about trust or cooperation. For Hosen, everything comes down to money and power. He wants to use the upcoming exam to get richer, not to help his class.
Utsunomiya stands against Hosen’s demands. The two argue back and forth, and the situation almost turns physical. The other first-year students watch as the meeting falls apart. This conflict shows that even students from the same grade cannot work together when private points are involved.
Horikita’s Leadership Test and Ayanokoji’s Strategy
Back in Class D, Suzune Horikita continues to struggle with her role as leader. Episode 7 shows her trying to protect her classmates from being used by other groups. Some students in Class D want to team up with stronger classes to pass the exam, but Horikita knows that these alliances often come with hidden costs.
Ayanokoji remains calm even with a bounty on his head. He does not panic or try to run away. Instead, he watches how others react to the news. He wants to see who will try to claim the bounty and who will stay loyal. Episode 7 shows him gathering information and preparing countermeasures for the island exam.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji stays silent while others panic over the bounty. His lack of reaction worries those who know his real abilities.
The situation becomes more complicated because Ike is worried about losing Shinohara to another student during the exam. Ayanokoji asks Horikita to help manage this situation, adding another problem to her growing list of responsibilities.
The Uninhabited Island Exam Rules and Threats
The special exam itself is a two-week survival test on a deserted island. Students from first, second, and third years can form mixed-grade teams. Each team must survive with limited supplies while completing tasks to earn points. The teams with the highest points at the end win huge rewards.

The 20 million point bounty is not part of the official exam rules. Someone within the school placed this bounty privately. That means any student can try to take out Ayanokoji at any time, not just during the exam. Episode 7 makes it clear that the bounty changes everything. Ayanokoji cannot trust anyone, not even his own classmates, because the prize is too big to ignore.
The presence of a White Room operative adds another layer of danger. This person was trained in the same facility as Ayanokoji and knows his methods. Unlike other students who rely on brute force or simple tricks, this operative understands psychological warfare. Episode 7 hints that this person will make their move soon.
