[00:24] Hasebe
    You want some snacks, Airi?
[00:26] Kushida
    Oh, what pretty scenery!
[00:26] Sakura
    Oh, thanks, Haruka-san!
[00:27] Yukimura
    We're going fairly deep into the mountains.
[00:31] Yamauchi
    I bet there's nothing there,
    like with the island island.
[00:32] Inogashira
    Want to play cards?
[00:34] Hirata
    Hey, they say the communal
    bath uses natural hot springs.
[00:35] Wang
    Oh, sure, I've got some.
[00:37] Ike
    For real?
[00:38] Ike
    Is it mixed bathing?
[00:40] Sudo
    Hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves!
[00:41] Karuizawa
    Hey, someone up front's
    being really annoying.
[00:42] Horikita
    Keep your voice down, Sudo-kun.
[00:44] Matsushita
    Oh, I bet it's Ike-kun and those guys.
[00:46] Sudo
    Sorry, Suzune.
[00:48] Matsushita
    I'm nervous having the
    upperclassmen here, too.
[00:48] Yamauchi
    Hah, Sudo got yelled at.
[00:50] Hirata
    Stop it, Yamauchi-kun.
[00:52] Karuizawa
    Yeah, since we don't interact
    with them most times.
[00:52] Koenji
    Ah, what a pleasant nap that was.
[00:56] Kushida
    Sounds like they're having fun up there!
[00:59] Chabashira
    Sorry to interrupt the fun,
[01:01] Chabashira
    but I need you to quiet down.
[01:03] Chabashira
    You, the students of Class D...
[01:10] Chabashira
    Excuse me. You're Class C now, aren't you?
[01:14] Chabashira
    Then for you, my newly advanced class,
[01:17] Chabashira
    I'll explain the coming special exam:
[01:19] Chabashira
    the "mixed training camp."
[01:32] Hasebe
    It's so cold!
[01:34] Sudo
    Wow, check it out!
[01:37] Hirata
    We're spending a whole week here?
[01:40] Ike
    Having to live and work
    with some other class...
[01:44] Ike
    Dunno if I can do it.
[01:48] (Flashback) Chabashira
    The purpose of this special
    exam is to use a training camp
[01:51] (Flashback) Chabashira
    to inspire, primarily, mental growth.
[01:55] (Flashback) Chabashira
    You'll be grouped with people you
    wouldn't normally interact with,
[01:58] (Flashback) Chabashira
    and live together there.
[02:01] Ayanokoji
    "Mixed training camp."
[02:03] Ayanokoji
    As the name suggests,
[02:04] Ayanokoji
    it's a special exam in which we're split
    along class year and gender lines,
[02:09] Ayanokoji
    then put into small groups of
    players from mixed classes,
[02:11] Ayanokoji
    and subsequently graded as those groups.
[02:15] Ayanokoji
    Whether or not we pass is determined
[02:19] Ayanokoji
    by four tests conducted on the last day.
SIGN    1.) Zen
     A meditation test will be conducted in the dojo.
    Grading will be based on etiquette and posture.
     2.) Written Exam
    A written test primarily about morality will be conducted.
    Grading will be based on test scores.
     3.) Speech
     Every member of the group will give a speech.
    Grading will be based on four criteria:
    "Volume," "Posture," "Content," "Delivery."
     4.) Marathon
     All groups will participate in a relay marathon.
    Grading will be based on placement and time.
[02:23] (Flashback) Yukimura
    High-scoring groups will receive
    class points and private points.
[02:30] (Flashback) Horikita
    But that's not the important part.
[02:32] (Flashback) Hirata
    Yeah.
[02:34] (Flashback) Hirata
    What you really have to avoid
[02:36] (Flashback) Hirata
    is falling under the borderline.
[02:38] (Flashback) Horikita
    Groups that fall short of the
    borderline will see their leader
[02:42] (Flashback) Horikita
    and one person named by said leader expelled.
[02:46] (Flashback) Sudo
    You have to share responsibility
    and go down with them?!
[02:49] (Flashback) Yamauchi
    You might be in trouble, Sudo.
[02:51] (Flashback) Yamauchi
    You've got such a bad attitude.
[02:53] (Flashback) Sudo
    Huh?!
[02:53] (Flashback) Sudo
    I've been making a real
    effort lately, all right?
[02:58] (Flashback) Hirata
    I won't let anyone from
    our class be expelled.
[03:02] (Flashback) Hirata
    If you ever find yourself struggling,
    feel free to talk to me.
[03:05] (Flashback) Hasebe
    But how are we supposed to talk to you?
[03:08] (Flashback) Hasebe
    Boys and girls are separated,
    except for at dinner.
[03:11] (Flashback) Miyake
    They'll be confiscating these, too.
[03:14] (Flashback) Hirata
    Yeah, so I think we should have a central
    consultant for the girls, as well.
[03:20] (Flashback) Hirata
    Would you be willing to take
    that role, Horikita-san?
[03:23] (Flashback) Horikita
    Very well.
[03:24] (Flashback) Horikita
    But while I hesitate to admit to it,
[03:28] (Flashback) Horikita
    I'm not sure I have an appropriate
    personality for assisting others.
[03:33] Ayanokoji
    You really shouldn't admit to that, yeah.
[03:37] (Flashback) Horikita
    So, Kushida-san...
[03:39] (Flashback) Horikita
    I'd like you to serve as sub-leader.
[03:42] (Flashback) Kushida
    I-I'm not sure how helpful I could be...
[03:46] (Flashback) Horikita
    Oh, you'll be helpful.
[03:47] (Flashback) Horikita
    Everyone in the class trusts you, after all.
[03:51] (Flashback) Kushida
    Um...
[03:53] (Flashback) Kushida
    Sure! If I'm the one you want,
    I'll do my best to help.
[04:01] Manabe
    There's seriously nothing here.
[04:02] Girl
    This is nuts.
[04:02] Yabu
    And they're taking our phones.
[04:05] Girl
    I wanna go home!
[04:08] Guide
    Keep it going! Keep it going!
[04:13] Ayanokoji
    Seems like Class A is already
    arranging something.
[04:20] Chabashira
    Class C, I'm taking your phones.
[04:23] Chabashira
    I want all of you to hand them
    over and sign the check sheet.

[04:33] Ayanokoji
    For this exam,
[04:35] Yukimura
    I wonder if the groups will
    be graded on a pass/fail.
[04:35] Ayanokoji
    it won't be possible for me to protect
    everyone in the class by myself.
[04:39] Miyake
    I guess that's when the battle starts, huh?
[04:40] Guide
    Third-year bus coming in.
[04:40] Sakura
    I'm nervous being separated from everyone.
[04:42] Ayanokoji
    I'll have to narrow down who I protect.
[04:43] Guide
    Students in the parking space, please move!
[04:44] Hasebe
    Don't worry. I'm sure it'll work out.
[04:46] 2nd Year Girl
    We'll do just what you told us, Nagumo-kun.
[04:48] Nagumo
    Thanks, I'm counting on you.
[04:50] 2nd Year Girl
    You work hard, too, Nagumo-kun!
[04:52] Mashima
    We're going to take our
    luggage into the building.
[04:56] Mashima
    There, you'll divide along gender
    lines and break up into groups.
[05:00] Mashima
    We'll leave the group division up to you.
[05:04] Mashima
    The school will not get involved.
[05:08] Mashima
    The group must talk among
    themselves and choose a leader.
[05:08] Horikita
    So they're leaving the whole thing to us.
[05:12] Shibata
    I'd rather not be in a group with him.
[05:13] Mashima
    If you're unable to choose a leader,
    you'll be automatically disqualified,
[05:16] Mashima
    meaning you will be expelled.
[05:17] Ayanokoji
    Ryuen Kakeru.
[05:19] Ayanokoji
    Since that time he lost to me,
[05:21] Ayanokoji
    the tyrant of the former Class C
    voluntarily relinquished his throne.
[05:26] Ayanokoji
    Since then, he's been a pariah to Class D...
    rather, our entire grade.
[05:35] Ishizaki
    Ryuen-san...
[05:36] Mashima
    We'll start with the first-years.
    Get that luggage moving.
[05:40] Ike
    We gotta climb a mountain
    carrying all that stuff?
[05:44] Yamauchi
    Hey, girls, you'd better help.
[05:46] Nagumo
    Horikita-senpai.
[05:48] Nagumo
    Once the groups are decided,
    would you like to have a competition?
[05:54] Tachibana
    Don't be ridiculous.
[05:56] Tachibana
    What's the point of a second-year
    competing with a third-year?
[06:00] Nagumo
    All I want is a battle between the current
    and former student council presidents.
[06:07] Nagumo
    Before you go on and graduate,
    I want to find out if I've surpassed you.
[06:15] Manabu
    What's the nature of the competition?
[06:18] Tachibana
    Horikita-kun?!
[06:19] Nagumo
    Whose group gets the higher average score.
[06:24] Nagumo
    Simple, isn't it?
[06:26] Manabu
    I see.
[06:27] Manabu
    I'd be happy to take your wager, then.
[06:29] Manabu
    But don't get the other
    students mixed up in it.
[06:32] Nagumo
    An honorable duel, eh?
[06:35] Nagumo
    Sounds good to me.
[06:37] Nagumo
    There'll be no punishment for losing.
[06:40] Nagumo
    We're fighting for pride, nothing more.
[06:45] Horikita
    My brother accepted his challenge?
[06:49] Ayanokoji
    The current student council
    president, Nagumo Miyabi.
[06:54] Ayanokoji
    He appears rather confident.
[07:14] Ishizaki
    Hey, are you kidding me?
[07:16] Yukimura
    It's a pretty small room.
[07:19] Totsuka
    So we're staying in here with nine others?
[07:22] Hashimoto
    Well, let's all get along.
[07:25] Ishizaki
    I'm taking the end, then.
[07:27] Moriyama
    Hey, wait!
[07:28] Totsuka
    Hey! You can't just call it!
[07:30] Yukimura
    Yeah, we need to talk this over.
[07:33] Ishizaki
    Huh? What was that, Yukimura?
[07:35] Ishizaki
    Don't order me around just 'cause
    you got picked for group lea—
[07:48] Ayanokoji
    I guess that whole thing cowed him somewhat.
[07:53] Koenji
    I'll gladly take the center, then!
[08:00] Ishizaki
    Hey!
[08:02] Ishizaki
    He just said we had to talk it out, Koenji!
[08:05] Koenji
    This is my best position.
[08:07] Koenji
    The rest of you should choose
    wherever you like, as well.
[08:11] Yukimura
    What happened to talking it over?
[08:14] Hashimoto
    I guess we've got choppy seas ahead.
[08:18] Hashimoto
    Something you want to say, Yahiko?
[08:21] Totsuka
    I shouldn't even need to say it, Hashimoto.
[08:24] Totsuka
    We might both be in Class A,
    but I still don't trust you.
[08:27] Hashimoto
    I'm sure.
[08:27] Moriyama
    Hey, don't hog all the futons!
[08:29] Hashimoto
    But we're currently allies in the same group.
[08:31] Koenji
    The answer is no!
[08:32] Totsuka
    We'll see about that.
[08:32] Sumida
    At least lay them parallel to the walls.
[08:36] Koenji
    That's another no.
[08:36] Ayanokoji
    We're a band of ruffians,
    unlike the other groups.
[08:38] Yukimura
    Don't make trouble for the other classes.
[08:40] Koenji
    I don't wish to have trouble
    made for me, either.
[08:41] Ayanokoji
    There's no room to form bonds.
[08:58] Ayanokoji
    I don't usually see you so tired, Ichinose.
[09:02] Ichinose
    Oh, Ayanokoji-kun.
[09:04] Ichinose
    Hey there.
[09:06] Ichinose
    Sorry. Divvying up the
    groups was pretty rough.
[09:10] Ichinose
    Girls aren't shy about saying
    who they don't like, you know?
[09:14] Ayanokoji
    Don't take on too much.
[09:15] Ichinose
    Hey, it's okay.
[09:18] Ichinose
    My endurance is the one
    thing I've got going for me.
[09:21] Ichinose
    Speaking of...
[09:22] Ichinose
    Having the boys and girls only
    get together in the cafeteria...
[09:27] Ichinose
    You can really feel the
    school's hand at work, huh?
[09:30] Ayanokoji
    Their hand?
[09:32] Ichinose
    Yeah.
[09:33] Ichinose
    It feels like a field prepared
    especially for sharing information
[09:37] Ichinose
    and giving directions.
[09:39] Ayanokoji
    I suppose it does.
[09:41] Shiranami
    Honami-chan!
[09:42] Shiranami
    I could use your advice!
[09:45] Ichinose
    Sure! What is it?
[09:52] Ayanokoji
    The most powerful students here are those
    with the best communication skills,
[09:56] Ayanokoji
    and who others trust the most.
[10:01] Other Class Girl A
    Hey, hey, Kushida-san!
[10:03] Other Class Girl A
    Want to eat with us?
[10:05] Kushida
    Sorry. I'm talking shop about
    our class with Horikita-san.
[10:10] Other Class Girl B
    Oh, really?
[10:12] Other Class Girl A
    Another time, then!
[10:16] Kushida
    So, did you force me into your
    group to keep an eye on me?
[10:23] Kushida
    Or because you want me to
    acknowledge you as an ally?
[10:27] Horikita
    Yes, I won't deny that
    being part of my motive.
[10:32] Kushida
    I don't suppose you'll accept that
    it's completely futile, then?
[10:37] Horikita
    I want you to trust me.
[10:40] Kushida
    That's very honest of you.
[10:44] Kushida
    Sorry, but I don't think
    that's going to happen.
[10:47] Horikita
    I'm never going to tell other
    people about your past.
[10:51] Horikita
    I'd have nothing to gain.
[10:53] Kushida
    Yeah, you might be right.
[10:55] Kushida
    If I were to get desperate and destroy the
    class like I did back in middle school,
[11:00] Kushida
    it'd make it really hard
    for you to reach Class A.
[11:04] Horikita
    Then—
[11:04] Kushida
    Still...
[11:05] Kushida
    The current situation
    is very stifling for me.
[11:09] Kushida
    If someone put a knife
    to your throat and said,
[11:11] Kushida
    "I won't hurt you, so help me out,"
    would you really want to play along?
[11:16] Horikita
    You're smart.
[11:17] Horikita
    That's why I think you could
    be a real asset to the class.
[11:22] Horikita
    The others would be more grateful—
[11:22] Kushida
    Do you not get how much it ticks me off
    when you talk down to me like this?
[11:29] Kushida
    I'll be a good girl for a while, at least.
[11:32] Kushida
    But until one of us leaves
    this school, Horikita-san,
[11:38] Kushida
    we're never going to see
    eye to eye about this.
[11:45] Horikita
    I'm powerless, aren't I?
[11:48] Horikita
    How can I be more like my brother?
[12:08] Ishizaki
    The hell?
[12:10] Ishizaki
    That's so grating...
[12:14] Totsuka
    They're waking us up this early, huh?
[12:17] Hashimoto
    Hey, Koenji's missing.
[12:19] Hashimoto
    Where'd he get off to?
[12:23] Yukimura
    If we're missing anyone at morning roll call,
[12:25] Yukimura
    it'll mean a point deduction!
[12:29] Koenji
    Hey, all! Morning!
[12:31] Koenji
    Is there anything more refreshing
    than early morning training?
[12:36] Sumida
    Training?
[12:38] Ishizaki
    You'd better not go running
    off on your own again.
[12:40] Ishizaki
    I'm pretty sick of your high-and-mighty act.
[12:43] Koenji
    Rather than chastising me,
    shouldn't you be heading for roll call?
[12:49] Koenji
    You anachronistic idea of a delinquent.
[12:51] Ishizaki
    You want a fight, you got it!
[12:53] Yukimura
    Save your fighting for later!
[12:55] Ishizaki
    Shut up! He's the one
    who's gonna make us late!
[12:59] Totsuka
    You're such a simpleton.
[13:01] Totsuka
    This is why you got demoted to Class D.
[13:03] Ishizaki
    What was that?!
[13:05] Hashimoto
    Why don't we calm down a bit?
[13:08] Hashimoto
    If anything's broken in the fight,
    we'll be held responsible.
[13:11] Hashimoto
    And if anyone gets a black eye,
    we'll have to account for it.
[13:14] Hashimoto
    Right?
[13:16] Hashimoto
    Now, the one with the glasses.
    What was your name?
[13:20] Yukimura
    Yukimura.
[13:21] Hashimoto
    Yeah, Yukimura-kun's right.
    We're low on time.
[13:25] Hashimoto
    Let's eat our breakfast, and if you're still
    unhappy, you can do what you like then.
[13:29] Hashimoto
    What do you think?
[13:33] Ishizaki
    You've got a stay of execution, Koenji.
[13:36] Koenji
    Oh, thank heavens!
[13:37] Koenji
    I'm a pacifist, you know.
[13:41] Ishizaki
    C'mon, let's get to roll call.
[13:45] Ayanokoji
    No wonder he's considered
    Sakayanagi's right hand.
[13:49] Ayanokoji
    His leadership is outstanding.
[13:54] Ayanokoji
    We start with a major
    cleaning of the facility.
[13:58] Ayanokoji
    Not just the interior,
    but the grounds, as well.
[14:07] Ayanokoji
    Then meditation in the name
    of spiritual cultivation.
[14:12] Ayanokoji
    It's only for a short time, but our posture
    and etiquette are tightly monitored.
[14:19] Ayanokoji
    Unfamiliar group activities.
[14:22] Ayanokoji
    Unfamiliar special classes.
[14:26] Ayanokoji
    It's only natural that it
    would exhaust some students.
[14:47] Girl
    I'm so tired!
[14:52] Hiyori
    Wang Mei-yu-san?
[14:55] Wang
    Y-Yes, er...
[14:58] Wang
    Shiina-san?
[15:00] Hiyori
    Being nervous is just going
    to make you more tired.
[15:04] Hiyori
    You're already surrounded with
    people you rarely interact with.
[15:09] Wang
    W-Well, I wouldn't say that...
[15:12] Hiyori
    Even if they've told us
    to just get along now,
[15:15] Hiyori
    it's bound to be a little disorienting.
[15:17] Ichinose
    Yeah, Shiina-san's right!
[15:21] Ichinose
    If you try to climb a wall before
    you're ready, you'll just fall off it.
[15:25] Hiyori
    What a funny phrase.
[15:28] Ichinose
    So let's work little by little
    to match up our paces, okay?
[15:32] Wang
    R-Right!
[15:33] Wang
    Thanks, Ichinose-san!
[15:36] Ichinose
    Hey, no need to be that formal!
[15:39] Wang
    How about if you call me Mii-chan, then?
[15:43] Wang
    That's what everyone else calls me.
[15:45] Ichinose
    Sure. Let's get along, Mii-chan.
[15:48] Hiyori
    Let's get along.
[15:59] Ike
    Boy, I'm hungry!
[16:00] Yamauchi
    I know. And we finally get to see the girls.
[16:01] Ike
    Seriously, I'm starving!
[16:07] Yamauchi
    Hey, sorry.
[16:09] Yamauchi
    You okay?
[16:11] Sakayanagi
    Yes.
[16:13] Sakayanagi
    No need to worry.
[16:17] Yamauchi
    Um, so...
[16:18] Yamauchi
    I'm gonna go.
[16:20] Sakayanagi
    Yes, don't concern yourself with me.
[16:25] Yamauchi
    Man, Sakayanagi-chan's pretty cute,
    but she's also a total klutz.
[16:29] Ike
    You're the one who tripped her, man.
[16:32] Ayanokoji
    Are you all right?
[16:35] Sakayanagi
    There's no need to worry.
[16:38] Ayanokoji
    It'll talk to Yamauchi about it later.
[16:41] Sakayanagi
    Well, I know he didn't do it intentionally.
[16:45] Sakayanagi
    He just tripped me the one time.
[16:54] Sakayanagi
    Oh, and although I told you I'd crush you,
[16:58] Sakayanagi
    that will have to wait until later.
[17:01] Sakayanagi
    I've decided to crush Class B first.
[17:05] Sakayanagi
    Class B is a class with strong bonds.
[17:08] Sakayanagi
    I believe that's the result
    of the powerful trust
[17:11] Sakayanagi
    Ichinose Honami-san has
    earned from her classmates.
[17:15] Sakayanagi
    I also know the reason she holds
    a large number of private points
[17:19] Sakayanagi
    is likely because the class is treating
    her as a bank vault of sorts.
[17:25] Sakayanagi
    But should they really be
    leaving their points with her?
SIGN    Point Transfer in Progress
SIGN    Ichinose Honami
[17:31] Ayanokoji
    I don't really think Ichinose's
    going to use those points.
[17:35] Sakayanagi
    Yes, I'm sure she wouldn't.
[17:38] Sakayanagi
    But every person
[17:41] Sakayanagi
    has a light side
[17:43] Sakayanagi
    and a dark side.
[17:46] Sakayanagi
    I'm looking forward to the time
    when we can fight directly.
[18:00] Karuizawa
    What the heck was that?
[18:02] Karuizawa
    You just dropped this note in front of me?
[18:04] Karuizawa
    What if someone else had picked it up?
[18:08] Ayanokoji
    You wouldn't mess up like that, I'm sure.
[18:11] Karuizawa
    Well, yeah, I sure wouldn't.
[18:14] Karuizawa
    So, what is it?
[18:15] Karuizawa
    You want more of my help now, huh?
[18:19] Ayanokoji
    Something like that.
[18:21] Ayanokoji
    I'm about to give you some names
    of people I want you to watch.
[18:34] Karuizawa
    It might be tough, but I'll try.
[18:36] Ayanokoji
    Still, this upcoming exam...
[18:39] Ayanokoji
    It might get rocky.
[19:09] Ayanokoji
    In previous special exams, I always found
    and exploited some loophole in the rules.
[19:18] Ayanokoji
    On the island, I took Horikita out of the
    game and took over her role as leader.
[19:23] Ayanokoji
    On the cruise ship, I pulled some
    sleight-of-hand with the phones.
[19:28] Ayanokoji
    At the sports festival, I intentionally
    stood out to get attention.
[19:34] Ayanokoji
    In the Paper Shuffle, I arranged
    things to cancel out Kushida.
[19:42] Ayanokoji
    But this time...
[19:54] Ayanokoji
    I'm surprised to see you reaching out to me.
[19:57] Manabu
    Do you know why I asked to speak to you?
[20:00] Ayanokoji
    The Nagumo issue?
[20:03] Manabu
    Yes.
[20:04] Manabu
    He already has the second-years
    in the palm of his hand.
[20:08] Ayanokoji
    What do you want me to do about it?
[20:11] Manabu
    I believe you owe me a favor.
[20:20] Manabu
    I want you to pay it back
    by taking out Nagumo.
[20:24] Manabu
    You can get Suzune into the student council
[20:26] Manabu
    and continue directing her behind the scenes.
[20:31] Ayanokoji
    That's a rather outrageous ask.
[20:34] Manabu
    Obviously, I don't expect you to
    do everything I want just because
[20:38] Manabu
    you owe me a favor.
[20:40] Ayanokoji
    I don't have much information
    on the upperclassmen.
[20:45] Manabu
    Let me introduce you to an informant.
[20:48] Manabu
    The student council vice president,
[20:51] Manabu
    Kiriyama Ikuto of Class 2-B.
[20:57] Manabu
    On the surface, he serves Nagumo,
    but he's actually collaborating with me.
[21:02] Kiriyama
    Let me make one thing clear, Ayanokoji.
[21:05] Kiriyama
    I have serious doubts about your abilities.
[21:10] Kiriyama
    But I'll do what Horikita-senpai tells me to.
[21:14] Manabu
    I'm sorry for all the trouble, Kiriyama.
[21:16] Kiriyama
    No, I will protect the traditions
    you passed on to me.
[21:22] Kiriyama
    Nagumo's trying to use his power to
    overturn the foundations of this school.
[21:27] Kiriyama
    I expect an unprecedented number
    of expulsions next year.
[21:33] Ayanokoji
    I see.
[21:35] Ayanokoji
    By the way, what about your
    competition with Nagumo?
[21:39] Manabu
    It should work itself out without incident.
[21:41] Ayanokoji
    How likely is it that Nagumo will keep
    his promise not to involve third parties?
[21:48] Manabu
    Nagumo is entirely unprincipled
    in his methods.
[21:51] Manabu
    But he's never broken a promise before.
[22:03] Ayanokoji
    Horikita Manabu might lose this one.
