[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.
