[breathing heavily]
Hey, Koenji, get down!
[ISHIZAKI] The hell do you
think you're doing up there?
Hmm. The view from here
is simply sublime,
perfect for a superior being
like myself.
Hmm.
Ah!
[laughs]
[YUKIMURA]
He jumped!
How did we get grouped up
with a freak like him?
Crap, I'll go
try to call him back.
Are you injured?
[HASHIMOTO] This kind of thing
is bound to happen
when hiking in the mountains.
[ISHIZAKI]
Don't make excuses for him.
This guy's supposed
to be our leader, isn't he?
If you wanna lose, fine,
but don't drag us down!
Why do I keep
messing everything up?
[sighs]
Come on, to your feet,
you can lean on me.
I'll try to convince Koenji
to come back.
Just go, or else
you'll be late.
If we leave you,
your injury could get worse.
Which would put us all
in a bad spot come test day.
Right, Ayanokoji?
[chuckles]
I'm sorry I got you
into this mess.
[humming]
[AYANOKOJI] I've been
looking for you, Koenji.
[chuckles]
Well, if it isn't
Ayanokoji-boy.
[KOENJI]
Your timing is impeccable,
I just finished a little game
with this boar.
I can already guess.
Don't worry, I'll head back.
Unless there was some other
business you had with me?
On the last day of the exam,
I'd like you to do
whatever you can to help.
[scoffs]
You'd think people would
get tired of saying that.
Unfortunately for you
the only person
who can dictate my behavior
is me.
[chuckles]
I see now.
And what exactly do you "see?"
The person who tamed Dragon Boy
and made him retreat
with his tail between his legs.
Your poker face
is quite impressive.
But the slightest quiver
in your grip
has confirmed my suspicions.
[AYANOKOJI]
I think you're letting
your imagination run wild.
Keep playing dumb then.
And don't worry,
I wouldn't dream
of exposing your secret.
[KOENJI] As for your request,
I intend to follow my heart
wherever it leads.
[humming]
[AYANOKOJI]
Just as I thought
seems no one
can get through to him.
[SUDO]
It's delicious!
What kind of meat even is this?
It's boar.
Apparently,
it was delivered today.
[IKE]
Whoa, it tastes super gamey.
[SUDO]
Yeah! No kidding!
-[AYANOKOJI] That charm.
-[YAMAUCHI] Who brought it in?
[HIRATA]
Probably some local hunter.
[AYANOKOJI]
Excuse me.
Sorry, but does this charm
belong to you?
[ASAHINA]
Huh? Ye-Yeah, that's mine.
Thanks so much!
I thought
I had lost it forever!
What's more,
you of all people found it!
I didn't expect you
to know who I am.
[ASAHINA] I remember watching
your race with Horikita.
Miyabi Right,
you wouldn't know him by that.
I mean President Nagumo,
has his eye on you, too!
That's flattering,
but running is pretty much
the only thing I'm good at.
You wouldn't happen to know
of a reliable way
for me to get out
of the limelight, would you?
[sighs]
Maybe you could
beat him at something?
To be honest, I'd love
to see Miyabi get knocked down
a peg or two.
Is that so?
I suppose if all else fails
that can be my backup plan.
[laughs]
Oh, you're for real?
Come on, I was just joking!
But if someone
were to beat Miyabi,
would that be
a problem for you?
You really mean it.
Forgive me.
From the way you were
talking about him,
you don't seem to be
quite as enamored with him
as the other second-years.
Well, aren't you observant?
I suppose
there's no point in denying it.
You could say
he and I have history.
Anyway,
since you found my charm.
I'll do my best to answer
any questions you have.
I appreciate the info.
I need you to tell me,
what happened when the
girls divided into groups.
[snoring]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[HASHIMOTO]
Hey, Ishizaki, you still awake?
Obviously, what?
[HASHIMOTO] We're two days
away from the exam.
If things keep on like this,
we're in deep trouble.
[ISHIZAKI]
Oh, shut up.
I couldn't care less
about getting expelled.
-[sighs]
-[clock ticking]
[HASHIMOTO] I used to play
soccer back in middle school.
[ISHIZAKI] The hell's that got
to do with anything?
And, it was the kind
of school that made it
to nationals every year.
While I wasn't the team's ace.
I was a pretty good player,
all in all.
So what,
you want a cookie or something?
[HASHIMOTO] But while everyone
else was working as hard
as they could
to go to nationals.
I found myself feeling
detached from it all.
Like I didn't belong with them.
[TOTSUKA]
So then what happened?
You're not
in the soccer club now, right?
[HASHIMOTO]
Yeah.
Well, you see, I had a tendency
to sneak off and smoke.
[TOTSUKA] Did they catch you
and kick you out?
[HASHIMOTO] Nah, I was really
good at hiding it.
But no matter what I did,
I felt this sense
of alienation the whole time.
So, I ended up quitting.
Though I wonder sometimes,
if I stuck it out
and kept playing soccer,
maybe I could've found
where I truly belonged.
[sighs]
Well, what about all you guys?
Got any regrets?
Huh? Our regrets?
I got no clue
what you're talking about.
[YUKIMURA]
Ever since I was a kid,
the only thing I focused on
was studying.
I was awful at sports.
And so, I never put
any effort to improving.
Didn't seem worthwhile.
[HASHIMOTO]
I guess that explains
why you're so good
at school stuff.
Maybe.
Before coming here,
I thought my academic skills
were good enough
to get me into Class A.
[YUKIMURA]
Despite all my hopes,
I ended up in Class D.
I resented being placed so low.
I thought I was above everyone,
but before I knew it,
my polar opposite,
Sudo became more
of a positive force
for the class than I ever was.
I'm useless.
Just like
during the island exam
and the sports festival.
Everyone would be better off
if I wasn't here. [sobbing]
-[ISHIZAKI] Hey, now.
-[YUKIMURA] I'm so sorry.
[YUKIMURA] [sniffles]
I'm supposed to be the leader,
but I'm acting pathetic.
You're still on that,
it's not like it's your fault.
I'm not gonna lie,
it pisses me the hell off
when you try
to order me around.
[ISHIZAKI]
But out of everybody here,
you're the only one
who stepped up
to take responsibility for our
group of misfits.
Ishizaki.
[HASHIMOTO] You wouldn't
know it from looking at it,
but our band of brutes
isn't so bad.
[ISHIZAKI] Hey,
who're you calling a brute?
[group chuckles]
-[TOTSUKA]Well, he's not wrong.
-[HASHIMOTO] You know it.
[MORIYAMA] We're not exactly
all that popular.
-[chuckles]
-[SUMIDA] Right?
-[chuckles]
-[ALBERT] We family.
-[broom swishing]
-[water trickling]
[water sloshing]
[grunts]
I got this, go get some rest.
I can handle it.
We'll be totally screwed
if your leg isn't healed up
in time for the test.
In exchange, you better
carry us on the written exam!
-Use that big brain of yours!
-[chuckles]
[KOENJI] What commendable
behavior, my friend.
[ISHIZAKI]
Commendable, my ass!
You looking to die today,
Koenji?
[laughs]
Everyone, let's talk
about tomorrow's race.
I thought of a plan
for how to approach it.
A plan?
The rules state each person
in a group has to run
a minimum distance
during the relay.
[YUKIMURA] But as long
as that criteria is met,
there's nothing
to stop other students
from picking up
their teammates' slack.
Ah, I understand, you're saying
we should have our best runners
cover most of the course.
Yeah, but it's on a path
through the mountains.
It's not going to be easy.
That's fine,
just leave it all to me.
I'll win it for our group.
Sounds good,
you can count me in, too!
A bit of distance running
shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks, you guys.
You think Albert's up for it?
Well, he's plenty fast
when he wants to be,
but his stamina's nothing
to write home about,
eh, big guy?
That's my b.
[ISHIZAKI] Though, if we're
talking downhil
Hey, I'll do my best
in tomorrow's race.
You sure, Kiyotaka?
I can't make any promises
other than I'll try.
The rest is up to Koenji.
We're not sure
if he'll care enough
to participate
in the first place.
[laughs]
We'll have to cross that bridge
when we get to it.
Our leader's got
his work cut out for him.
[chuckles]
[KARUIZAWA] Mii-chan, you're
in Miss Ichinose's group,
-aren't you?
-You're the only person
-from our class in there.
-Howdy, ladies,
how are things going over here?
Seems you're just
as rowdy as ever, Sudo.
You guys look like
you're doing well!
If you need any help,
just ask, okay?
[indistinct chatter]
[WANG]
Thank you so much, Hirata!
[sobbing]
[AYANOKOJI]
Sorry, I didn't realize
you were crying back here.
[AKANE]
I wasn't crying, okay?
Are you worried about
passing tomorrow's test?
I'm not worried for myself,
but President Horikita.
Hard to imagine him being
concerned about anything.
It's all our fault.
He's been fighting
by himself this whole time.
[AKANE] 'Cause we're always
dragging him down.
He has to step in
to protect us,
even if it means
sacrificing himself.
Like right now,
he's trying to shoulder the
burden of facing Nagumo alone.
And yet, there's nothing
our class can do to help him
in his fight.
I see, though I think
you ought to focus
on your own group more.
Are you listening to me?
I told you, it's fine!
Whatever,
forget I said anything!
[snoring]
[door sliding open]
[door sliding shut]
[clock ticking]
[sighs]
[wind whooshing]
[AYANOKOJI]
Hashimoto and Ryuen?
[sighs]
It's clear
they're up to something,
but it's hard to tell
what they're saying
from this distance.
[AYANOKOJI] We took our exams
on the last day.
During the written portion,
Yukimura helped
pull the group through.
The speech test also
went without a hitch.
As expected,
the deciding factor
would be the fourth exam.
The marathon would make or
break our group's final grade.
[whistle blowing]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
[HASHIMOTO]
Albert!
Hmm?
[gasps]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
[ISHIZAKI]
Yukimura!
[panting]
I had to run extra
to cover for you.
You'd better give it
all you've got!
I'm on it.
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[MALE STUDENT 302L]
I'm sorry!
[MALE STUDENT 302M]
We're still good.
[breathing heavily]
You did well
I've got it from here.
[panting]
Hmm.
[chuckles]
Well
I suppose it's only fair
if I put in
a bit of effort myself.
[MASHIMA] You all did well
over the past eight days
of the training camp.
The average score
was higher than last year's.
Fortunately,
all of the boys' groups
exceeded the borderline.
which means
no one will be expelled.
[sighs]
[ISHIZAKI]
See?
What did I say,
there's nothing to worry about!
We're a family.
One more thing.
The highest overall score
was achieved by Class 3-A.
[MASHIMA]
Manabu Horikita's group.
I knew you could do it, sir!
[hands clapping]
You must've worked hard to
earn so many points, Horikita!
Wow, you sure showed me.
Seems I've won our wager,
too bad.
About that
I wouldn't call it winning.
Moving on.
Here are the girls' results.
I'm afraid there was one group
that failed to meet
the threshold to pass.
As per the rules, the group
led by Momoko Ikari
will be penalized.
[sighs]
[laughs]
What did you do, Nagumo?
Now, now, there's no need
to raise your voice, Fujimaki.
We haven't even gotten
to the best part.
Fujimaki's in Class A,
I don't understand
why he's so upset.
That group's leader
is in Class B, right?
The issue at hand
isn't Ikari's expulsion.
[AYANOKOJI] But who she's
choosing to go down with her.
Ikari will be expelled,
along with one student
that she designates
to share in the responsibility
of their failure.
[MASHIMA] Who among
your group will you pick?
This one's a no-brainer.
She did everything she could
to disrupt our group
from the get-go!
I choose Akane Tachibana!
[gasps]
[AYANOKOJI] This was a trap
laid out by Nagumo.
He issued that challenge
as a distraction.
All the while, his real
objective was Akane Tachibana.
He gathered girls loyal
to his faction
and strategically
placed them in the same group.
That way they'd be able
to make sure
their point total stayed
under the borderline.
Tachibana, why didn't you ask
when you needed help?
Forgive me,
I didn't want to be a burden.
I thought that I could
handle it by myself.
It's my fault.
Friendship
is a beautiful thing.
Or could it be your feelings
run a bit deeper than that?
I want to see
what's in your heart.
Come on, just a little peek.
[NAGUMO] Tell me, are you
feeling a twinge of annoyance?
Why did you go after Tachibana?
Trust me, it wasn't
anything personal.
I was just dying to see what
kind of face you would make
when I cut off your right hand.
Well, I hope you're satisfied.
Because this little stunt
has cost you something dear.
Though our methods differed,
I gave you
the courtesy of my trust.
And I'm choosing to throw that
trust right back at your face.
I'll expel as many people
as necessary
to accomplish my goals.
I mean, that's how things
are supposed to be done
at this school, after all.
[AYANOKOJI] Nagumo's
viciousness won this battle.
That said
it's only a small victory,
I doubt Manabu Horikita
considers her
to be indispensable.
Not so fast,
you're talking as if
Tachibana's expulsion
is a foregone conclusion.
-[MANABU] Sir
-Hmm?
I have a request, I'd like
to buy something with points.
[AKANE]
Wait, President Horikita!
Whoa
I thought we were gonna
come out of this even,
but you're
unexpectedly sentimental.
You're really gonna
spend all those points,
just to save Tachibana?
Please don't do this,
I brought it on myself!
Sorry, everyone.
Hm.
You sure about this?
You're pretty much
single handedly demoting
your entire class.
We'll take that position
again soon enough.
You've accomplished
nothing with this.
No, Horikita!
All right, I guess everything
worked out, then.
[AYANOKOJI] It seems that
Nagumo isn't the only person
here with two faces.
What a surprise.
I can't believe
that just happened!
What kind of maniac
would cook up a plan like that?
And why did that Ikari girl
go along with it?
If I were her, I'd never
volunteer to get kicked out!
The chances of her actually
getting expelled are zero.
Huh?
What do you mean?
Like how Tachibana was saved,
the second-years
will pool their points together
to make sure she can stay.
Nagumo would've arranged it,
otherwise
he'd lose credibility.
Hold on, why would he do this
if it cost him points, too?
[AYANOKOJI] Nagumo has
all the students in his year
under his thumb.
Each person only needs to give
a small number of points.
But, Manabu Horikita
only has his class' funds.
After everything's said
and done, this hurts him more.
[groans]
[KARUIZAWA] The president's
a lot more reckless
than I thought.
We've gotten a taste
of how Miyabi Nagumo fights.
We should be careful.
[MALE STUDENT 302N] You didn't
forget anything, did you?
I double checked the room.
Come on, dude, get off my back!
[AYANOKOJI] I should head back
before we're seen.
I actually wanted
to ask you something.
If I were ever
in a situation like Tachibana.
Do you think you'd make
the same choice?
[AYANOKOJI] I wouldn't
allow them to expel you.
I'd do whatever it took
to save you.
Huh?
[AYANOKOJI] What soon followed
after this event
was a series of expulsions.
Students across
different classes and years
would lose the right to attend
the Advanced
Nurturing High School.
