Where to continue with the light novel after Season 3?

Having said all of this, it is quite clear where you should continue with the light novel after you watch the final episode of the third season. With the original light novel over, you should simply start with the first volume of the Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 light novel series and continue reading until the most recently published volume; as of the time of writing, it is Volume 7, with Volume 8 coming in late March (digital)/early April (printed). In Japan, the most recent volume is Volume 11, which means that the second-year saga might be nearing its end as well.
