[00:17] Raido
    Looks like we're seatmates again.
[00:20] Raido
    Here's to a good third year.
[00:22] Aharen
    I agree.
[00:24] Riku
    Oshiro-san! Let's have a good third year!
[00:27] Ishikawa
    I wonder what our homeroom teacher is like.
[00:29] Raido
    Good question.
[00:33] Ishikawa
    Hey, here they come!
[00:37] Henzan
    Homeroom's starting, and I'm right on time.
[00:41] Henzan
    It's nice to meet you all.
[00:43] Henzan
    My name is Henzan, and I'm going
    to be class 3-1's homeroom teacher.
[00:47] Henzan
    My first teaching job...
    My first set of students...
[00:51] Henzan
    This is pretty nerve-racking, but...
[00:54] Hotblooded Teacher

    Hot-Blooded Teacher
[00:56] Henzan
    After dreaming of it my whole life,
    I'm finally a teacher!
[01:01] Henzan
    Everyone...
[01:02] Henzan
    It's my dream to make this
     a passionate class, full of love!
[01:08] Henzan
    It's a pleasure to have you all.
SIGN    Henzan
[02:43] Henzan
    Raido-kun and Aharen-kun...
[02:46] Henzan
    Tobaru-senpai warned me about you two.
[02:51] Henzan
    I hear you have really strong "esteem."
[02:51] Muscle sign
    Esteem
SIGN    Episode Nine It's a Battle, Huh?
[02:54] Henzan
    For me personally, I hold in high esteem...
[02:57] Henzan
    a good body blow.
[02:58] Henzan
    And their punch is apparently fierce enough
    to leave Tobaru-senpai with chronic problems,
[03:02] Henzan
    coughing up blood from time to time.
[03:05] Henzan
    Getting violent with teachers...
    What rotten students!
[03:08] Henzan
    This is why I made sure to stuff my shirt
    with books for protection.
[03:13] Henzan
    But the worse the student,
    the better it is to guide them!
[03:15] Henzan
    So let's get down to business!
[03:18] Henzan
    Aharen-kun?! Raido-kun?!
[03:21] Henzan
    Wh-What is this?!
    Some kind of class disruption?!
[03:24] Henzan
    Trying to taunt me because I'm a rookie?
[03:27] Henzan
    I know what this calls for...
[03:29] Henzan
    The curriculum guidelines!

[03:37] Henzan
    It doesn't!
[03:38] Henzan
    This can't be. Have I already hit a dead end?
[03:41] Henzan
    I'm not cut out to be a teacher.

[03:44] Ishikawa
    Sensei! I don't think Aharen-san
    can see the blackboard
[03:47] Ishikawa
    with Higa-kun sitting in front of her.
[03:49] Ishikawa
    Right, Raido?
[03:50] Raido
    Yeah.
[03:52] Henzan
    Thanks so much, Ishikawa-kun!
    You get 50,0000 points on the next test!
[03:56] Higa
    Sorry for the trouble.
[03:59] Higa
    I think it might be good
    to redo the seating chart.
[04:03] Henzan
    That does seem like a good idea.
[04:05] Henzan
    All right, everyone, time to change seats.
[04:07] Sign
    Lots
[04:08] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[04:10] Raido
    We're still seatmates, I see.
[04:20] Henzan
    My first day wiped me out.
[04:22] Miyahira
    I-I'm sure you did great.
[04:25] Henzan
    I'm not sure I can keep this up.
[04:29] Henzan
    If my students have to help me,
    am I even fit to be a teacher?
[04:32] Tobaru
    I disagree with your approach.
[04:35] Tobaru
    Being an adult doesn't mean
    not relying on others.
[04:38] Tobaru
    It's about being able to do properly.
[04:40] Tobaru
    You can turn to me or the students
    if you need help.
[04:43] Tobaru
    Besides, it wouldn't be a class
    without student participation.
[04:46] Henzan
    S-Senpai!
[04:49] Tobaru
    S'what I think...
[04:51] Miyahira
    Aw, Momo-chan, you drank too much!
[04:53] Miyahira
    And you were really
    making sense for a sec there.
[04:55] Henzan
    I still don't understand this "esteem" thing
    about Raido-kun and Aharen-kun either...
[05:05] Henzan
    Speak of the devil, there they are.
    And at this hour!
[05:09] Tobaru
    It's them!
[05:11] Tobaru
    High schoolers out this late
    gives an impression of impropriety.
[05:15] Tobaru
    An evening encounter unlike anything before...
[05:18] Tobaru
    Immortal night rendezvous esteem!
[05:21] Miyahira
    No! Momo-chan!
[05:23] Miyahira
    A-Are you okay?!
[05:24] Henzan
    Is this the esteem at work?
[05:28] Henzan
    It's even affecting her at a distance?
[05:30] Miyahira
    This always happens with you, Momo-chan.
[05:33] Miyahira
    You're a lightweight, yet you love to drink.
[05:36] Miyahira
    Come on, lay down for a sec.
[05:43] Henzan
    What is this?
[05:44] Henzan
    I'm getting some kind of strange feeling.
[05:48] Henzan
    It's like my chest is tight. Don't tell me...
[05:52] Henzan
    Is this "esteem"?!
[05:54] Henzan
    Am I being affected by it, too?!
[05:56] Henzan
    Esteem... is terrifying...
[05:59] Miyahira
    You too, Henzan-chan?!
[06:03] Student
    Good afternoon, Henzan-sensei.
[06:05] Henzan
    Good afternoon to you.
[06:08] Henzan
    Being a teacher keeps me busy,
    but it's satisfying.
[06:11] Henzan
    And my goal... is to be the kind
    of teacher the kids depend on!
[06:16] Raido
    Sensei, I needed some help with something.
[06:19] Henzan
    Sure thing! What do you need?

    Wh-What's going on?!
[06:29] Henzan
    Did she wind up like that
    going too hard on the esteem practice?!
[06:32] Raido
    Aharen-san kinda got
    all stuck while stretching.
[06:36] Raido
    What should we do?
[06:38] Aharen
    I've never been able to stretch
     my ribs so much before.
[06:41] Henzan
    I'm sure the student guidance guidelines
     contain an appropriate response!

    Oh, you're better.
[06:53] Aharen
    It felt good to stretch like that.
[06:56] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[06:59] Henzan
    I feel so useless...
[07:01] Tobaru
    Henzan-sensei.
[07:04] Henzan
    Tobaru-senpai?
[07:13] Tobaru
    It's important to move your body
    from time to time.
[07:16] Henzan
    Right on, Senpai!
[07:18] Miyahira
    Why do I have to run, too?!
[07:21] Tobaru
    You could use some exercise too, Miya-chan.
[07:24] Miyahira
    But I'm already a PE teacher!
[07:26] Henzan
    Gotta say, this is rough!
[07:30] Tobaru
    At such times, it's best to put
[07:32] Tobaru
    one foot in front of the other
    without thinking.
[07:35] Tobaru
    That will help you persevere.
[07:37] Tobaru
    You tend to overthink things, Henzan.
[07:40] Tobaru
    Sometimes it's better to just empty your mind.
[07:43] Henzan
    Got it!
[07:45] Miyahira
    I don't... normally think much...
    so can I stop?!
[07:50] Tobaru
    No. Keep going.
[07:51] Miyahira
    Aw...!
[07:53] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[07:58] Tobaru
    There, there. You did great.
[08:02] Tobaru
    Henzan.
[08:05] Tobaru
    It's great to think things
    through, however...
[08:08] Tobaru
    it's bad to overthink them.
[08:10] Tobaru
    If you really get stuck, I'll lend a hand.
[08:13] Tobaru
    At times, the best move is
    simply to tackle students head-on.
[08:18] Henzan
    I think I just felt some esteem!
[08:21] Oshiro
    Good afternoon, Sensei.
[08:23] Henzan
    Oshiro-kun? I didn't expect to see you here.
[08:25] Henzan
    Do you go to this gym, too?
[08:26] Oshiro
    Yes, I do.
[08:29] Tobaru
    How have you been?
[08:30] Tobaru
    Are your preparations
    for going abroad going well?
[08:33] Oshiro
    Well, yes...
[08:36] Tobaru
    Oshiro-san.
[08:39] Tobaru
    Could I trouble you for some sparring?
[08:48] Tobaru
    She's fast!
[08:49] Henzan
    Senpai!
[08:59] Henzan
    She's amazing.
[09:01] Henzan
    Senpai's dodging all of those punches.
[09:03] Tobaru
    This is the result of my daily struggle
     to defend against esteem.
[09:05] Tobaru
    Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.
[09:08] Tobaru
    My esteem parry!
[09:10] Tobaru
    Oshiro-san, you still seem to have doubts.
[09:13] Tobaru
    If you can't even beat me, then
    you're far from ready to go overseas!
[09:18] Henzan
    I get it! This is what she meant
    about tackling students head-on.
[09:27] Henzan
    She's wide open! Senpai's got this!
[09:29] Riku
    Oshiro-san!
[09:31] Tobaru
    Tamanaha-san?!
[09:33] Tobaru
    The two of them have been
    awfully close lately.
[09:38] Tobaru
    I see. Oshiro-san's having second
    thoughts because of her friends.
[09:45] Tobaru
    The idea of being separated
    by such great distance...
[09:48] Tobaru
    An esteem uppercut!
[09:51] Tobaru
    You win... Oshiro-san...
[09:56] Henzan
    You okay there, Senpai?
[09:59] Riku
    Oshiro-san!
[10:00] Riku
    I'm so glad you're not hurt!
[10:05] Henzan
    There goes my chest again! These two...
[10:10] Tobaru
    Hit by esteem while I was down...
[10:12] Henzan
    Senpai!
[10:13] Henzan
    Was that esteem, too?!
[10:15] Henzan
    That means it's a blow you can't see!
[10:18] Henzan
    Coming from a blind spot,
    you don't notice until you're hit!
[10:20] Henzan
    Almost like it's invisible!
[10:22] Henzan
    I can't believe I let it get me as well!
[10:25] Henzan
    I didn't pack my shirt with books this time...
[10:27] Oshiro
    Henzan-sensei, too?!

[10:36] Henzan
    Come on in, please.
[10:42] Oshiro
    Th-Thanks for meeting me.
[10:45] Henzan
    I'm glad you're here.
[10:47] Henzan
    Oshiro Mitsuki-kun.
    She's another one I need to keep my eye on.
[10:51] Henzan
    Perhaps even more so than
    Raido-kun and Aharen-kun...
[10:58] Henzan
    Because she's more violent!
[11:00] Henzan
    I stuffed double the amount
    of books in my shirt today!
[11:04] Henzan
    Now, let's do this!
[11:06] Henzan
    First, Oshiro-kun...
[11:08] Henzan
    About your goal after graduation.
[11:10] Henzan
    This says you want to attend
    a beauty school overseas.
[11:15] Oshiro
    Yes...
[11:16] Henzan
    I thought so.
[11:18] Henzan
    You seem nervous about it.
[11:20] Henzan
    If you have any worries,
    I'd be glad to lend an ear.
[11:23] Oshiro
    I wouldn't say it's a worry, but...
[11:25] Oshiro
    I just... wonder if I should be
    going to a school for sports instead.
[11:31] Henzan
    You've certainly received offers
    of scholarships in that regard.
[11:37] Henzan
    Attempts to scout you for athletic teams.
[11:40] Henzan
    You would do the school proud
     if you decide to take that path.
[11:44] Henzan
    That said, your dreams belong to you.
[11:48] Henzan
    You should really do whatever it
    is you want most, Oshiro-kun.
[11:52] Oshiro
    What I want to do...?
[12:03] Henzan
    I see. So this is what you want.
[12:07] Oshiro
    Yes. It's what I want to do most.
[12:11] Henzan
    I understand.
[12:12] Henzan
    She seemed pretty shy at first,
    but she's not afraid to express herself.
[12:16] Henzan
    I wonder if that's thanks
    to having good friends.
[12:20] Henzan
    I'm sure you'll be anxious
    about traveling so far,
[12:23] Henzan
    separated from your friends and family.
[12:25] Henzan
    But just because you'll be apart doesn't
    mean you'll never be together again.
[12:28] Henzan
    Please, remember to look out for them,
    no matter how far away you are.
[12:35] Henzan
    That's it from me.
[12:36] Oshiro
    Okay. Thank you so much.
[12:41] Henzan
    Did I do that right, Tobaru-senpai?
[12:51] Henzan
    Impossible! I should've been impenetrable
    to any physical attacks!
[12:56] Henzan
    Wait! So that's what "esteem" is!
[12:59] Henzan
    A slow-acting poison!
[13:01] Henzan
    She slipped it in while I was unaware,
[13:03] Henzan
    and by the time I noticed, it was too late!
[13:06] Henzan
    I thought she was all brawn,
    but her intellectual game is incredible!
[13:10] Henzan
    Still, I can't fall now!
[13:13] Sato
    Sensei, I'm next, right?
[13:16] Sato
    Sensei!
[13:28] Oshiro
    That's it for my run.
[13:37] Oshiro
    I'm headed out!
[13:42] Raido
    Good morning, Aharen-san.
[13:48] Aharen
    Good morning.
[13:49] Raido
    Yeah, good morning.
[13:53] Raido
    What bloodlust!
[13:55] Raido
    But from who?!
[14:01] Oshiro
    Reina-chan, Raido-kun, good morning!
[14:03] Raido
    G-Good morning, Oshiro-san...
[14:06] Aharen
    Good morning.
[14:07] Oshiro
    Come on, you don't need
     to be that scared, Raido-kun.
[14:10] Raido
    But I sensed incredible bloodlust...
[14:13] Oshiro
    Huh? I'm pretty sure it wasn't from me.
[14:20] Raido
    Oshiro-san?!
[14:21] Aragaki
    I was gonna stop short anyway.
    Talk about a slow reaction.
[14:25] Aragaki
    Have you gotten weaker or something?
[14:28] Oshiro
    It's you...
[14:32] (Flashback) Ref
    Point! The match is over!
[14:35] Oshiro
    I faced you in last year's
    finals, Aragaki-san.
[14:39] Aragaki
    That's right!
[14:40] Aragaki
    In the year since I lost to you,
    I've been working myself raw to improve!
[14:45] Aragaki
    And then you didn't enter this year's
    tournament! Explain yourself!
[14:50] Aragaki
    Did you quit karate or something?!
[14:52] Oshiro
    Quit? No.
[14:54] Oshiro
    I just decided what I really want to do.
[14:57] Aragaki
    Wh-What you really want to do?
    And it's not karate?
[15:02] Aragaki
    Come to think of it, you were
    trying other sports, weren't you?
[15:05] Aragaki
    Well, what is it?
[15:06] Aragaki
    Boxing? Kendo?
[15:09] Aragaki
    Or is it swimming?!
[15:10] Oshiro
    No, it's not a sport.
[15:13] Aragaki
    It's not?!
[15:15] Aragaki
    What the hell?
[15:17] Aragaki
    You've got that build and all that talent,
    yet you chose to do something else?
[15:25] Aragaki
    It's not fair.
[15:27] Aragaki
    You're so strong and you just... drop karate?
[15:31] Aragaki
    When it's everything to me, no less.
[15:35] Aragaki
    The thought of fighting you again...
[15:36] Aragaki
    You were my goal in karate,
    and karate's all I have.
[15:39] Aragaki
    What happens to me now?
[15:42] Oshiro
    You...
[15:44] Aragaki
    Oshiro!
[15:47] Aragaki
    I was gonna stop short, but you
    defended against all of those.
[15:50] Aragaki
    You are truly strong,
    so I refuse to accept this.
[15:54] Aragaki
    Fight me! If I win, you'll...
[15:59] Raido
    Hold it right there.
[16:01] Raido
    If you take this any further—
[16:02] Aragaki
    I didn't ask for a peanut gallery!
[16:04] Raido
    Right!
[16:05] Aragaki
    If I win...
[16:06] Aragaki
    Wait, if I win, that means I'm stronger.
[16:10] Aragaki
    Then I wouldn't have any business
    with you, since you'd be weaker. Uh...
[16:14] Aragaki
    I've got it. For this match...
[16:17] Aragaki
    If you win, then you have to keep doing karate!
[16:21] Raido
    Couldn't you just lose on purpose?
[16:23] Aragaki
    You hear me?!
[16:25] Oshiro
    I appreciate it, you two. But it's okay.
[16:29] Oshiro
    She scared and insulted you guys.
[16:32] Oshiro
    I cannot stand for that.
[16:36] Raido
    Looks like the lose-on-purpose
    plan is out, huh?
[16:38] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[16:40] Aharen
    Be careful.
[16:41] Oshiro
    Yeah. Thank you.
[16:43] Aragaki
    All right, let's go!
[16:45] Raido
    Begin!
[16:50] Raido
    Oshiro-san...
[16:53] Aragaki
    What's wrong, Oshiro?
    I know you're better than this!
[16:57] Aragaki
    I'm gonna win at this rate!
    You okay with that?
[17:01] Aragaki
    Wait. If I win, you can quit karate
    and do what you want...
[17:06] Aragaki
    Does that mean you're fine with losing?
[17:09] Aragaki
    I get it! You're trying to lose on purpose!
[17:12] Aragaki
    Well, you better not!
[17:15] Oshiro
    Don't worry. I'm not trying
     to lose on purpose.
[17:19] Oshiro
    You've gotten a lot stronger.
[17:23] Aragaki
    Oh yeah? Have I?
[17:26] Oshiro
    Yes. You're part of the reason
    I chose a different path in the first place.
[17:33] Aragaki
    What are you talking about?
[17:34] Oshiro
    When we fought last year,
[17:37] Oshiro
    I managed to win, but you've grown
    a lot stronger in the meantime.
[17:43] Oshiro
    Especially compared to me,
    who's plateaued no matter how hard I train.
[17:49] Oshiro
    I even tried other sports to see
    if that would help me break through,
[17:54] Oshiro
    but it made no difference.
[17:56] Oshiro
    Which is how...
[17:57] Oshiro
    I knew I wouldn't be able to beat
    someone with real potential like you
[18:00] Oshiro
    the next time we fought.
[18:04] Aragaki
    What the hell?!
[18:05] Aragaki
    You're making it sound like it's my fault.
[18:08] Aragaki
    You're just trying to run away!
[18:13] Oshiro
    I am not!
[18:14] Oshiro
    I just refuse to take my eyes
     off what I really want.
[18:17] Oshiro
    I've decided to follow my dream!
[18:21] Aragaki
    Your dream?
[18:23] Aragaki
    Well, my dream was fighting you
    in the finals again!
[18:28] Aragaki
    It was having a rival like you
    to compete against!
[18:35] Oshiro
    Our dreams...
[18:37] (Flashback) Oshiro
    Aw, you need to be more careful.
[18:40] (Flashback) Oshiro
    You're cute, unlike me,
    so you should try and look nice.
[18:45] (Flashback) Oshiro
    Here.
[18:56] (Flashback) Oshiro
    I think you're cute too, Oshiro-san.
