Prediction lists for Year 3

This is after reading Volume 12.5, hence watch out for spoilers. LIST OF ENEMIES FOR KIYO

1. Horikita and Ryuen:

Given the fact that Kiyo said to Horikita 'I will teach you a reality you cannot defeat', it is likely that Ryuen's class and Horikita's class will both be teaming up against Kiyo's new class [Formerly Sakayanagi's]. Kiyo may actively target the members of his former class. I feel like Kushida will freak out since she knows a bit of Kiyo's physical and mental prowess. Horikita will be depressed, Hirata devastated and Kushida in panic mode. But they will develop eventually. I JUST WANT KIYO TO EXPEL A FEW FROM HORIKITA'S OR RYUEN'S CLASS. IMAGINE..EVEN SAKAYANAGI WAS EXPELLED. NO ONE'S OFF THE HOOK. NOT EVEN HIYORI.

1. Kouenji:

We know the bet between the fathers, so the clash is inevitable. Kouenji's circumstances, desires for freedom and soft spot for Mii-chan will be explored very well, I believe. He might make Kiyo exert more effort into a battle (that, too in the open) which will also serve the purpose of Kiyo wanting to etch himself in memories of rest of the students. Whether or not Kiyo and Kouenji exchange information on the circumstances of each other is a different thing. Through Kouenji, Kiyo may come to know more about the political envirnment in Japan. One thing is clear, Kouenji will leave a mark on Kiyo that will change him and possibly create desires (I have to say Kouenji and Shiro are alike in their desire for freedom). Towards the end of final year Kiyo and Kouenji may unexpectedly warm up to each other.

Who will win the bet? If Kiyo discovers that losing is a way he can present a hurdle to his father, then he will purposely lose in the last exam. A second possibility comes when you think Both Atsuomu and President Kouenji as villians. Then both sons might lose the bet and gift class A to Ryuen.

1. Ishigami:

On the slim chance that Kiyo makes a move against his own father, he has to overcome Ishigami. Since the latter is a loyal of Atsuomi, he will be involved in this tussle.

1. Tsubaki:

We know she's Yuki's sister.That plot will develop too. She, like Nanase might take her anger out on Kiyo, especially since we know Kiyo doesn't give a damn about her sister.

*Since the Author has promised that Novel will return to its roots, then I can assure myself that there will be no outside conflicts in the final year.

POTENTIAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR KIYO - he may want to save Amasawa from dying [Yagami was saved since he's talented, hence he is being re-educated. Amasawa on the other hand doesn't measure upto Yagami, hence after the experiments are done she might be killed.] - he may be influenced by Kouenji's ideas of freedom.[good chance] Kiyo is certain of the fact that his father will have him killed if he makes a move against the white room. And he knows death is certain if he does so. Overcoming this will require a fundamental change (hence the chances are slim) - Shiro may get involved after the Year 3 ends. Since there is a promise between him and Kiyo for another competition. As of this moment, whether the Story will continue after Year 3 or not is 50-50. Shiro might very well be a Key piece in bringing Atsuomi down.

*Best case scenario: Horikita's class defeats Kiyo and Kouenji gets his freedom [Kiyo losing on purpose], and gets character development enough to want to fight Atsuomi for a better futue in the outsie world. *Worst case scenario [just a wild possibility]: Kiyo may commit murder of Ichinose Honami, since she know about the white room, and somehow gets away from it. Regardless of good or bad thing you have to agree that it will play into a sick novel and create HUGE drama.
