Classroom of the Elite (2017) s02e13 Episode Script
The worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself
[RYUEN] Sometimes I wonder,
before I killed it,
if it had bitten me that day.
If I had been afraid of it,
would I still have made
the same decision?
[phone rings]
Where the hell could he have
run off to in his condition?
[sighs]
[footsteps]
[IBUKI] Don't tell me
you're dropping out!
Uh--
All of my personal points.
I'm giving them to you.
Huh?
I have to take responsibility.
It's my fault.
So, you're just gonna
give up like that?
You always said the
only thing that mattered
was who was left
standing in the end!
Wasn't that how you and
Albert managed to take--
What's your point?
You're saying that's
the end of it?
There's no reason
for me to stay.
People only tolerate tyrants
when they serve a purpose.
I'm not gonna just let
you quit without a fight!
You're still injured.
Don't bother.
What's wrong with you?
You didn't even
try to dodge that!
Fine, go quit, then!
[IBUKI]
Man, that felt good!
[AYANOKOJI] Interesting.
She could still be useful.
[KARUIZAWA] After what happened
yesterday, something's changed.
Things're completely
different now.
And it's all because of him.
Kiyotaka.
[KARUIZAWA]
He doesn't talk much.
And he's basically
invisible in class.
[KARUIZAWA] But deep down,
he's totally different.
He uses people without
a second thought,
but he kept his
promise to save me.
[KARUIZAWA gasps]
[KARUIZAWA]
That's impossible.
I don't have any
feelings for him, do I?
No way! That's just crazy!
[KARUIZAWA]
No freaking way!
Did you say, "a date"?
Uh-huh!
With Kiyo--I mean,
with Ayanokoji?
That's what I said!
I was wondering
if you had any tips
for how to make him fall for me.
Huh?
Oh, come on!
You and Hirata started dating
as soon as school started,
so you definitely know
what you're doing!
I guess so, but, to be honest,
it's not anything special.
I totally disagree! I think
you're super awesome!
Oh, thanks!
[KARUIZAWA]
But why did it have to be him?
All right, so.
It's just a first draft,
but I came up with a plan
for how the date could go.
Tell me what you think!
Uh, okay!
[KARUIZAWA]
Let's see here.
Meet up at 12.
Grab lunch. See a movie.
After that, go shopping.
Then, under the
legendary tree
Make it official?
You're going exclusive?
After just one date?
Also, what's this about
a "legendary tree"?
Um. So. When are you
planning to have the date?
In two days!
It'll be on December 25th!
[KARUIZAWA] You're seriously
having your first date
on Christmas day?
That's intense!
What is Kiyotaka thinking,
actually taking her up on it?
Well, it's better than a date
on Christmas Eve, I guess.
Is everything all right?
Oh, yeah, no problem!
This is a really
good starting point!
But I've got some ideas for how
we could make it even better!
Really?
I knew coming to you for help
was the right choice!
Well, like you said,
I'm kinda used to it!
[KARUIZAWA]
Although, I've never actually
been on a real date before.
But since Sato specifically
asked me for advice,
I have to at least try my best!
[SATO]
Oh, one more thing!
What do you think about us
making this into a double date?
[gasps] A double date?
A date, huh?
Tell me what the plan is?
I thought you were done with
trying to bring up Class D,
so why are you getting
close to Sato?
But what if this
is something personal.
[phone rings]
Yes?
[AYANOKOJI]
Are you by yourself right now?
Yeah. I am. What's up?
[AYANOKOJI]
I need your help.
I want you to look
into something for me.
[KARUIZAWA]
Are you serious?
And what happened to
not needing to ask me
to do things for
you anymore, huh?
Whatever, just tell me
what you want me to do now.
[AYANOKOJI]
It's about Sato.
[gasps] What does she
have to do with anything?
[AYANOKOJI]
Find out who she hangs out with,
and what she does
on a normal day.
I want you to get
as much information
about her personal
life as possible.
I don't know if I can
help you with this.
Sato and I don't really hang out
in the same friend groups.
[AYANOKOJI]
Email me whatever you discover.
[phone clicks]
[KARUIZAWA]
Hold up!
At least let me call you a jerk
before you hang up!
[KARUIZAWA]
Stupid Kiyotaka.
I guess he wanted to get
some information on her
before his date to
make sure it goes well.
Could it be that he actually
has feelings for Sato?
Or maybe he wants
to make her a pawn, too.
But he already has me.
[KARUIZAWA groans]
Dang it.
I can never tell what's
going on in his head!
[SUZUNE]
Well, this is a treat.
Normally, you only invite me out
whenever there's a special
exam to deal with.
I guess that's true.
All right, then. Is there
something you want?
So, listen. You should join
the student council.
[gasps] Why would I?
I just don't understand
why you'd bring this
up all of a sudden.
It's not my idea.
A certain someone would like you
to join the student council.
It's your older brother.
[gasps] That seems unlikely.
You don't need to believe me.
Just ask him yourself.
If you're lying to me,
I'll make sure you pay.
[SUZUNE]
Um. Hello? Yes, it's me.
Yeah, Suzune. Uh-huh.
Sorry, Ayanokoji just
handed me his phone.
Yes. Right. Okay.
[sighs]
What did he say?
He said joining the council
would benefit me,
but didn't explain further.
Thing is, even if
he wants me to do it,
I can't see what good
it would do for me.
At the very least,
I'll wait until after I'm done
being your stand in.
I'll give you more
time to consider.
Okay, but I've already
made up my mind.
Aren't they so cute together?
[GIRL 213A laughs]
Hey, that tickles!
[GUY 213A]
Oh, yeah?
It's cold.
[RYUEN] You're a disappointing
Christmas Eve date.
I thought that maybe we
could have a little chat.
I tried turning myself in
for spray painting the cameras.
I was fully expecting to
get expelled because of it.
But, apparently,
Class D took the blame.
[RYUEN]
So, it seems I get to stay.
I'm guessing you arranged that.
[AYANOKOJI] Huh. Trying to drop
out over the security cameras,
that's a surprising decision.
To be honest with you,
I figured it'd be because
of the Karuizawa thing.
[RYUEN]
If I did that,
the others would've
been expelled, too.
It'd be a lousy way
for me to take responsibility
for the situation.
[AYANOKOJI]
Makes sense.
Yesterday, in the storage room.
I was impressed.
[RYUEN]
What do you mean?
You made a wise
choice back there.
If you were by yourself,
you could've hung in there
and put up more
of a fight, I'm sure.
You realized you had
no chance of beating me,
so you put on that show
before surrendering.
Heh. You're paying me
a compliment, but,
for some reason, I can't help
but feel a little insulted.
Like you're looking down on me.
So, what now? What do
you got planned for me?
Nothing.
[RYUEN]
Heh. Yeah, right. Let me guess,
you're gonna send me after
the other classes, right?
That's what I'd do.
There's no other reason you'd
keep me here at this school.
Other classes?
And why would I do
something like that?
But what about Class D?
I don't care about them.
Although, I wouldn't
get in the way
of those who want to
raise their class ranking.
That's fair enough.
Before they can do that,
Class D has a serious problem
they need to take care of first.
You mean Kikyo.
What're you gonna do?
A word of advice.
You can treat a cancer to
keep it at bay for a while,
but unless you cut it out,
it'll never truly go away.
What's worse, if you're not
careful, it may start to spread.
I've already made up my mind.
[RYUEN]
Oh?
[AYANOKOJI]
In the third term,
Class D will take
Class C's place.
But it'll be temporary,
and they'll fall back
down to the bottom.
That's because
I'm going to have Kikyo
Kushida kicked out of school.
Heh. You're a real terror,
through and through,
you know that?
[SATO]
Hey there, Ayanokoji!
You're here early.
Looks like you
got here early, too!
Please tell me you weren't
waiting very long
for me to show up.
No, don't worry,
I just got here.
[SATO]
Really?
Uh-huh.
So where to?
Oh! Let's see.
[HIRATA]
Hey!
Hirata?
Fancy seeing you two here!
[SATO gasps]
What a coincidence!
[KARUIZAWA laughs]
Are you out on a date, as well?
[HIRATA]
Well, it is Christmas.
It was Karuizawa's idea.
[SATO]
I can't believe we ran into you!
I'm just glad to spend
the day with someone.
Huh, with your popularity,
I'm surprised
that you didn't have
anything else planned.
I guess my friends
thought I'd be busy.
Makes sense.
Well, we should let you two
get back to your date.
Hey, Kei. Wanna head out?
Actually, I've got an idea!
What do you think about us
turning this into a double date?
A double date, huh?
Come on!
I checked with Sato, we planned
on doing the same stuff anyway!
It'd be fun to mix
things up a little!
[HIRATA]
Sure, but it's Christmas.
You can't decide that
all on your own.
Are you okay with it?
Yeah! Sounds good to me!
Are you cool with that, too?
If that's what
everyone wants to do,
then I have no objections.
Great! It's settled then!
[SATO]
All right!
[WAITRESS 213A]
Hi! How many in your party?
I have a reservation
under Sato.
[WAITRESS 213A] Let's see,
a reservation for four, right?
Please, follow me!
That's quite the coincidence.
Almost like she knew.
Oh, Sato called and
changed the reservation
after we decided to do
the double date!
What a liar.
[laughs] I don't wanna hear
that from you of all people!
What do you normally do
on your days off, Sato?
Oh, I usually spend my free time
learning about fashion design.
Wow, I never knew that!
It makes sense that
you'd be into that stuff.
Thanks!
And it'd be great if I could
make it into Class A!
Do you know what you
wanna do after graduation?
[gasps]
University, I guess.
[SATO] Oh, gross.
I could never do that.
Even the thought of
having to do more school
after I graduate
makes me wanna puke.
[HIRATA laughs] I take it
you're not a fan of academics.
[SATO]
I mean, it's not like I hate it,
it's just not really my thing.
[SATO]
Today was amazing!
--[AYANOKOJI] I agree.
--[HIRATA] I'll say!
[HIRATA]
This was fun, you two.
[SATO]
Uh-huh! Thanks for coming along!
[KARUIZAWA]
Bye-bye!
We'll see you guys later!
So, hey. Do you think that
we could stop somewhere
on the way back to the dorms?
[SATO] Karuizawa and Hirata
are really something, huh?
And they make such a perfect
couple, too, don't you think?
I'd love to have
what they've got.
Hey, Sato.
I appreciate you
inviting me out today.
It was fun.
[SATO]
Um. Ayanokoji?
Tell me, did you actually
have fun with us?
What makes you think I didn't?
It's just I was
watching you today.
And I never saw you
smile even once.
It's not on you.
I've never been the
type to smile much.
[AYANOKOJI]
But it's not that I can't smile.
You just haven't
given me a reason to.
I'd rather not waste the energy.
Listen up.
Um. I really like you, 'kay?
Do you like me?
[AYANOKOJI]
I'm sorry, Sato.
The truth is,
I don't think I can be the
person you want me to be.
Oh. I understand.
I should've expected it.
Could you tell me why?
I mean, only if you're
comfortable with it.
It wouldn't be right
for me to lead you on
since I don't have
any feelings for you.
[SATO gasps]
[AYANOKOJI]
Honestly,
I've never felt romantically
attracted to anyone before.
When it comes down to it,
I don't think I'm mature
enough to fall in love.
[SATO]
I see.
It's my fault for moving
too fast, I guess.
Sorry. I think I need
some alone time.
[sighs] You can come out.
I still don't understand,
why did you turn Sato down?
Why would I settle for her,
when I already have you?
[gasps] Can I ask a question?
I guess I've kinda had this
feeling for a while now.
But I wanna know.
Do you really only see
people as tools to use?
And what if said that I do?
Also. You've never had
a crush on anyone?
Ever?
Unfortunately, it's true.
Oh, wow. It's
really coming down.
With how gloomy
you always are,
I bet you haven't
gotten a single present
from anyone, right? Here.
[KARUIZAWA] It's not a big deal,
so just take it, okay?
[AYANOKOJI]
Oh, right. I got this for you.
[KARUIZAWA]
Cold medicine?
The other day, you were
completely drenched with water.
I thought you
might've fallen ill.
But I guess I was wrong.
[sighs]
[KARUIZAWA] At least it shows
he was worried about me.
Thanks a bunch.
It's about time we
headed back. Let's go.
[gasps] Oh, yeah. Sure thing.
[AYANOKOJI]
Excellent.
From now on, she'll be
entirely dependent on me.
I proposed an end
to our arrangement,
which sparked a fear
of abandonment in her,
and waited until she was
at her breaking point.
Only then did I
come to save her.
[AYANOKOJI]
Everything went as planned.
I upheld my promise
to her, and now,
she genuinely trusts
that I'll protect her.
Karuizawa's proven her loyalty
and her usefulness. But
[sighs]
Oh, wow! Look at how
pretty all the snow is!
It's nice.
[AYANOKOJI]
Even now.
I suppose I'm still
stuck in that place.
[AYANOKOJI] I wonder, will I
ever see those around me
as more than just pawns?
Will the relationships I've made
so far ever be more than that?
[KARUIZAWA]
We're almost at the dorms.
Someone might recognize us,
so let's part ways here.
[AYANOKOJI]
Right.
Have a good night!
I've been looking for a chance
to speak with you privately.
It has been a while.
Right, Ayanokoji?
Do I know you?
[SAKAYANAGI] Perhaps not, but I
know exactly who you are.
The "ultimate masterpiece"
of the White Room.
Though, as far as I'm concerned,
you're nothing
but a false genius.
But don't worry, I'll
make sure to bury you.
Really now? Well,
you are welcome to try.
before I killed it,
if it had bitten me that day.
If I had been afraid of it,
would I still have made
the same decision?
[phone rings]
Where the hell could he have
run off to in his condition?
[sighs]
[footsteps]
[IBUKI] Don't tell me
you're dropping out!
Uh--
All of my personal points.
I'm giving them to you.
Huh?
I have to take responsibility.
It's my fault.
So, you're just gonna

You're still injured.
Don't bother.
What's wrong with you?
You didn't even
try to dodge that!
Fine, go quit, then!
[IBUKI]
Man, that felt good!
[AYANOKOJI] Interesting.
She could still be useful.
[KARUIZAWA] After what happened
yesterday, something's changed.
Things're completely
different now.
And it's all because of him.
Kiyotaka.
[KARUIZAWA]
He doesn't talk much.
And he's basically
invisible in class.
[KARUIZAWA] But deep down,
he's totally different.

Yeah! Sounds good to me!
Are you cool with that, too?
If that's what
everyone wants to do,
then I have no objections.
Great! It's settled then!
[SATO]
All right!
[WAITRESS 213A]
Hi! How many in your party?
I have a reservation
under Sato.
[WAITRESS 213A] Let's see,
a reservation for four, right?
Please, follow me!
That's quite the coincidence.
Almost like she knew.
Oh, Sato called and
changed the reservation
after we decided to do
the double date!
What a liar.
[laughs] I don't wanna hear
that from you of all people!
What do you normally do
on your days off, Sato?
Oh, I usually spend my free time
learning about fashion design.
Wow, I never knew that!
It makes sense that
you'd be into that stuff.
Thanks!
And it'd be great if I could
make it into Class A!
Do you know what you
wanna do after graduation?
[gasps]
University, I guess.
[SATO] Oh, gross.
I could never do that.
Even the thought of
having to do more school
after I graduate
makes me wanna puke.
[HIRATA laughs] I take it
you're not a fan of academics.
[SATO]
I mean, it's not like I hate it,
it's just not really my thing.
[SATO]
Today was amazing!
--[AYANOKOJI] I agree.
--[HIRATA] I'll say!
[HIRATA]
This was fun, you two.
[SATO]
Uh-huh! Thanks for coming along!
[KARUIZAWA]
Bye-bye!
We'll see you guys later!
So, hey. Do you think that
we could stop somewhere
on the way back to the dorms?
[SATO] Karuizawa and Hirata
are really something, huh?
And they make such a perfect
couple, too, don't you think?
I'd love to have
what they've got.
Hey, Sato.
I appreciate you
inviting me out today.
It was fun.
[SATO]
Um. Ayanokoji?
Tell me, did you actually
have fun with us?
What makes you think I didn't?
It's just I was
watching you today.
And I never saw you
smile even once.
It's not on you.
I've never been the
type to smile much.
[AYANOKOJI]
But it's not that I can't smile.
You just haven't
given me a reason to.
I'd rather not waste the energy.
Listen up.
Um. I really like you, 'kay?
Do you like me?
[AYANOKOJI]
I'm sorry, Sato.
The truth is,
I don't think I can be the
person you want me to be.
Oh. I understand.
I should've expected it.
Could you tell me why?
I mean, only if you're
comfortable with it.
It wouldn't be right
for me to lead you on
since I don't have
any feelings for you.
[SATO gasps]
[AYANOKOJI]
Honestly,
I've never felt romantically
attracted to anyone before.
When it comes down to it,
I don't think I'm mature
enough to fall in love.
[SATO]
I see.
It's my fault for moving
too fast, I guess.
Sorry. I think I need
some alone time.
[sighs] You can come out.
I still don't understand,
why did you turn Sato down?
Why would I settle for her,
when I already have you?
[gasps] Can I ask a question?
I guess I've kinda had this
feeling for a while now.
But I wanna know.
Do you really only see
people as tools to use?
And what if said that I do?
Also. You've never had
a crush on anyone?
Ever?
Unfortunately, it's true.
Oh, wow. It's
really coming down.
With how gloomy
you always are,
I bet you haven't
gotten a single present
from anyone, right? Here.
[KARUIZAWA] It's not a big deal,
so just take it, okay?
[AYANOKOJI]
Oh, right. I got this for you.
[KARUIZAWA]
Cold medicine?
The other day, you were
completely drenched with water.
I thought you
might've fallen ill.
But I guess I was wrong.
[sighs]
[KARUIZAWA] At least it shows
he was worried about me.
Thanks a bunch.
It's about time we
headed back. Let's go.
[gasps] Oh, yeah. Sure thing.
[AYANOKOJI]
Excellent.
From now on, she'll be
entirely dependent on me.
I proposed an end
to our arrangement,
which sparked a fear
of abandonment in her,
and waited until she was
at her breaking point.
Only then did I
come to save her.
[AYANOKOJI]
Everything went as planned.
I upheld my promise
to her, and now,
she genuinely trusts
that I'll protect her.
Karuizawa's proven her loyalty
and her usefulness. But
[sighs]
Oh, wow! Look at how
pretty all the snow is!
It's nice.
[AYANOKOJI]
Even now.
I suppose I'm still
stuck in that place.
[AYANOKOJI] I wonder, will I
ever see those around me
as more than just pawns?
Will the relationships I've made
so far ever be more than that?
[KARUIZAWA]
We're almost at the dorms.
Someone might recognize us,
so let's part ways here.
[AYANOKOJI]
Right.
Have a good night!
I've been looking for a chance
to speak with you privately.
It has been a while.
Right, Ayanokoji?
Do I know you?
[SAKAYANAGI] Perhaps not, but I
know exactly who you are.
The "ultimate masterpiece"
of the White Room.
Though, as far as I'm concerned,
you're nothing
but a false genius.
But don't worry, I'll
make sure to bury you.
Really now? Well,
you are welcome to try.
