Classroom of the Elite Season 2 Preview Trailer and Images for Episode 3

Classroom of the Elite Season 2 released a preview trailer and images for episode 3, along with the title and synopsis. The third episode is scheduled for July 18.

Kushida, however, says thanks and points out that they are the same. And then Horikita concludes the 54-second long video with the episode title:
