**[00:16] MC**
Representing the graduating students,
**[00:18] MC**
Horikita Manabu of Class A.
**[00:26] Manabu**
Our reply.
**[00:28] Manabu**
On this day, when the fragrance of plum
conveys to us the first breath of spring,
**[00:32] Manabu**
we accomplished our graduation.
**[00:36] Manabu**
Three years ago, we entered
Advanced Nurturing High School,
**[00:38] Ayanokoji**
* Despite Nagumo's interference,*
* he maintained Class A.*
**[00:40] Manabu**
and I clearly remember swearing to myself
**[00:44] Manabu**
that I would make sure these three
years would be worthwhile ones.
**[00:50] Manabu**
Through competition and hard work,
**[00:53] Manabu**
we survived the many special exams we faced,
**[00:56] Manabu**
and today, I am grateful to be
able to graduate with all of you.
**[01:03] Manabu**
The resolute efforts of those comrades
who are no longer with us, too,
**[01:10] Manabu**
were not in vain.
**[01:12] Manabu**
Their noble visages remain
inscribed deeply on our hearts.
**[01:18] Manabu**
I ensure you, here and now,
that what you learn at this school
**[01:23] Manabu**
will be a treasure for your future,
and will be of great use to you.
**[01:28] Manabu**
Those of you who currently have doubts
**[01:31] Manabu**
must continue to step forward without fear.
**[01:34] Manabu**
You must believe that when you do,
**[01:37] Manabu**
the world that seems cold and closed off
now will greet you with gentle warmth.
**[01:42] Manabu**
Next year, and the year after,
**[01:46] Manabu**
whoever is to stand here making
that graduate address—
**[01:48] Manabu**
you will surely have a moment
when you understand that.
**[01:53] Manabu**
Thank you sincerely for
these past three years.
**[01:57] Manabu**
Horikita Manabu, speaking on
behalf of the graduating class.

**[03:32] Chabashira**
Now, before tomorrow's end-of-term ceremony,
**[03:36] Chabashira**
we'll have a simple review of this term.
**[03:40] Chabashira**
I'll start by saying you performed admirably
**[03:43] Chabashira**
against Class A in the final special exam.
**[03:47] Chabashira**
It's a massive difference from how you were
when you first arrived here one year ago.
**[03:53] Ike**
But, Sensei, we've fallen back to Class D.
**[03:57] Sato**
Totally back to square one.
**[04:01] Shinohara**
After all our hard work
making it to Class C...
**[04:04] Sato**
Right?
**[04:07] Chabashira**
You did fall to Class D, it's true.
**[04:09] Chabashira**
But you have grown a tremendous
amount in this past year.
**[04:14] Chabashira**
In terms of class points,
you gained the most out of everyone.
**[04:19] Sudo**
It's kinda scary when
you praise us that much.
**[04:23] Sudo**
This isn't leading to a catch, is it?
**[04:25] Chabashira**
It is not.
**[04:27] Chabashira**
But the other classes have grown, as well.
**[04:33] Chabashira**
Whether or not you're able to
surpass them in the days to come
**[04:37] Chabashira**
will be determined by whether or not
you can maintain your hard work.
**[04:42] Chabashira**
The graduation party will be today,
but although there is no class today,
**[04:47] Chabashira**
do not forget that it is still a school day.
**[04:54] Horikita**
It sounds like you struggled
with the final exam.
**[04:57] Ichinose**
I think Ryuen-kun's strategy
totally got in my head.
**[05:02] Ichinose**
The result is that Class B lost badly.
**[05:04] Horikita**
I hear a lot of students
suddenly called out sick.
**[05:09] Ichinose**
Yeah.
**[05:11] Ichinose**
It was clearly a trap set by Ryuen-kun.
***SIGN*** Final Special Exam
**[05:14] Ichinose**
But the greatest cause of our defeat
**[05:17] Ichinose**
was my inability to make
a psychological comeback
**[05:20] Ichinose**
as the captain.

**[05:54] Horikita**
It's unlikely to work, but shouldn't
you complain to the school staff?
**[05:58] Ichinose**
I want to take this forward, as a lesson.
**[06:02] Horikita**
What do you mean?
**[06:04] Ichinose**
If this had happened during a crucial
moment in our second or third years,
**[06:08] Ichinose**
it could have been disastrous.
**[06:11] Ichinose**
But in this moment, we can handle it.
**[06:17] Horikita**
I see.
**[06:18] Horikita**
Then there's no need for an outsider
like me to poke my nose in.
**[06:24] Ichinose**
I hear you guys put up a really good fight.
**[06:28] Ichinose**
You're really getting better and better.
**[06:30] Ichinose**
I guess we'd better watch our backs!
**[06:32] Horikita**
On that subject...
**[06:35] Horikita**
To be blunt, I'd like to dissolve
our alliance moving into next year.
**[06:42] Ichinose**
Yeah, I had a feeling you might say that.
**[06:46] Ichinose**
But...
**[06:48] Ichinose**
I wonder if we could preserve
it for now, at least.
**[06:52] Ichinose**
Maybe once the gap in our
class points gets tighter—
**[06:55] Horikita**
No.
**[06:57] Horikita**
My goal for next year is to
become Class B or higher.
**[07:06] Horikita**
And in order to overtake Class A,
I intend to go after points, as well.
**[07:14] Ichinose**
You're serious about this, huh?
**[07:16] Horikita**
I'm grateful to you for
**[07:18] Horikita**
bringing the alliance proposal to us
back when we were hopeless.
**[07:24] Ichinose**
But next year we'll be genuine enemies, huh?
**[07:29] Ichinose**
Class B will be giving all we have, too.
**[07:31] Horikita**
Good.
**[07:44] Ayanokoji**
Are you going to the graduation party?
**[07:46] Horikita**
If you're asking whether I'm going
to see my brother, I don't plan to.
**[07:51] Ayanokoji**
I thought you'd finally found
it in yourself to speak to him.
**[07:55] Horikita**
How is any of that your business?
**[08:00] Ayanokoji**
I'm going to go see him.
**[08:03] Ayanokoji**
Is that an issue for you?
**[08:06] Horikita**
No.
**[08:08] Horikita**
You're free to see my brother if you want to.
**[08:16] Ayanokoji**
*But first...*
**[08:18] Ayanokoji**
*I suppose I'll do what I ought to do.*
**[08:23] Chairman Sakayanagi**
* I'm on suspension for*
* allegations of impropriety.*
**[08:27] Chairman Sakayanagi**
* I don't think I have the power to*
* stop Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.*
**[08:31] Ayanokoji**
If I act directly against his plans,
**[08:34] Ayanokoji**
it could end up spreading the
chaos through the entire school.
**[08:40] Chairman Sakayanagi**
* Are you saying you want a sponsor*
* who can actively oppose him?*
**[08:44] Chairman Sakayanagi**
*Mr. Mashima may be the ticket, then.*
**[08:49] Chairman Sakayanagi**
*The school is full of surveillance cameras.*
**[08:53] Chairman Sakayanagi**
*Leave the setting for the discussion to me.*
**[08:56] Ayanokoji**
Thank you very much.
**[08:59] Ayanokoji**
Well, then—
**[08:59] Chairman Sakayanagi**
*Can I ask you one final question?*
**[09:03] Ayanokoji**
Yes.
**[09:05] Chairman Sakayanagi**
You came to this school
hoping for a normal life.
**[09:10] Chairman Sakayanagi**
Have you thought about what
will happen when you graduate?
**[09:14] Ayanokoji**
*My destiny is set in stone.*
**[09:17] Ayanokoji**
* After I graduate, I'll go*
* back to where I came from,*
**[09:22] Ayanokoji**
*and act as a mentor there, I'm sure.*
**[09:26] Chairman Sakayanagi**
So you're also here despite an
acceptance of your eventual fate?
**[09:31] Ayanokoji**
It's all the more reason why I intend
to protect these three years I have.
**[09:38] Chairman Sakayanagi**
I hope this school will be a positive
experience you'll carry with you all your life.
***SIGN*** Reception Room
**[09:56] Ayanokoji**
I'm coming in.
**[10:07] Mashima**
A directive from Chairman
Sakayanagi and a secret meeting
**[10:10] Mashima**
just before the graduation party.
**[10:13] Mashima**
Whatever this is, it must be rather important.
**[10:15] Chabashira**
This is a rather reckless thing you've done.
**[10:18] Chabashira**
I thought you wanted to live a peaceful life?
**[10:22] Ayanokoji**
I have something important to discuss
regarding Chairman Tsukishiro.
**[10:27] Mashima**
What are you talking about?
**[10:29] Ayanokoji**
Chairman Sakayanagi's suspension and
the results of the final special exam...
**[10:35] Ayanokoji**
What if I were to tell you Chairman
Tsukishiro set them all up himself?
**[10:52] Mashima**
I'm not entirely convinced of your story,
**[10:55] Mashima**
but if it's true, it's not
something we can let slide.
**[11:00] Chabashira**
But Mr. Mashima, just this
morning he gave you a pay cut
**[11:04] Chabashira**
for breaking the rules of
the final special exam.
**[11:07] Sakayanagi**
A pay cut for breaking the rules?
**[11:09] Chabashira**
For the judo competition
between Class B and Class D,
**[11:12] Chabashira**
the student chosen by
Class D was Yamada Albert.
**[11:17] Sakayanagi**
I see.
**[11:18] Sakayanagi**
That could have been a dangerous
match, had it gone through.
**[11:23] Chabashira**
So Mr. Mashima used his
judgment to dub it a forfeit.
**[11:28] Chabashira**
The acting chairman didn't
like that, I suppose.
**[11:31] Ayanokoji**
He doesn't like the teachers
using their discretion, I guess?
**[11:36] Mashima**
If I think a situation's dangerous
to the students, I'll stop it.
**[11:39] Mashima**
If their behavior is wrong, I'll correct it.
**[11:41] Mashima**
Teachers have to be able
to protect their students!
**[11:46] Chabashira**
It appears he can't be stopped.
**[11:49] Chabashira**
If Mr. Mashima agrees to this,
then I'll help you, as well.
**[11:54] Sakayanagi**
It sounds like we have an agreement.
**[11:58] Sakayanagi**
I intend to take your side for
now as well, Ayanokoji-kun.
**[12:05] Sakayanagi**
Only until the acting
chairman is gone, of course.
**[12:10] Sakayanagi**
If he ever gets in the way of Class A,
I'll brutally slap him down.
**[12:17] Mashima**
I see.
**[12:18] Chabashira**
The graduation party will begin soon.
**[12:21] Chabashira**
You students should leave first.
**[12:24] Chabashira**
We'll leave separately later.
**[12:31] Chabashira**
Honestly.
**[12:33] Chabashira**
He's brought a difficult
problem to our doorstep.
**[12:36] Mashima**
You really think taking out
Acting Chairman Tsukishiro will end it?
**[12:42] Chabashira**
What do you mean?
**[12:43] Mashima**
There's no guarantee they won't
send another assassin after him.
**[12:48] Mashima**
If that were to happen, it could spread
beyond Ayanokoji's individual problem,
**[12:52] Mashima**
and affect the whole class year...
**[12:55] Mashima**
maybe even the entire school.
**[13:00] Chabashira**
It's truly a quagmire.
**[13:02] Mashima**
I guess we should just hope
my worst fear won't come true.
**[13:08] Chabashira**
I suppose.

**[13:25] Ayanokoji**
I thought you'd be here.
**[13:27] Horikita**
Well? Is that a problem?
**[13:30] Ayanokoji**
I was thinking.
**[13:32] Ayanokoji**
The way you were before,
you probably wouldn't have come.
**[13:35] Horikita**
You think so?
**[13:37] Horikita**
I'm still me. I haven't changed at all.
**[13:43] Ayanokoji**
Even if you don't graduate in Class A,
it must feel nice to graduate.
**[13:50] Horikita**
Even if you don't get a
shortcut to your dream,
**[13:52] Horikita**
maybe you can still carve a
path under your own power.
**[14:00] Ayanokoji**
You should go.
**[14:02] Ayanokoji**
Use your special privilege as little sister.
**[14:06] Horikita**
H-Hey!
**[14:10] Horikita**
For me to run to my brother's side now...
**[14:14] Horikita**
It feels unnatural.
**[14:15] Horikita**
Rather... it feels inappropriate.
**[14:19] Horikita**
I'm not chickening out.
**[14:22] Horikita**
I wanted to see my brother's
three years here.
**[14:26] Horikita**
That's why I came.
**[14:30] Horikita**
I'm leaving.
**[14:31] Horikita**
I've done what I came here to do.
**[14:34] Horikita**
What about you?
**[14:35] Ayanokoji**
I'm staying a little while longer.
**[14:38] Horikita**
Oh?
**[14:39] Horikita**
Goodbye, then.
**[14:54] Manabu**
Were you waiting for me?
**[14:57] Ayanokoji**
I thought this might be my
last chance to talk to you.
**[15:03] Manabu**
It seems Suzune has left.
**[15:06] Ayanokoji**
She said she wanted to get a
look at your three years here.
**[15:12] Ayanokoji**
Sorry. Maybe I should have done
more on the student council thing.
**[15:19] Manabu**
I have a favor to ask of you.
**[15:22] Manabu**
I'm leaving the school on the 31st.
**[15:25] Manabu**
Tell Suzune to meet me by the
front gate at noon that day.
**[15:29] Ayanokoji**
Shouldn't you tell her yourself?
**[15:33] Manabu**
I want you to convince her.
**[15:35] Manabu**
There's a chance she might
not be honest with herself.
**[16:12] Horikita**
*Today is my brother's last day at school.*
**[16:17] Horikita**
* I wasn't able to show*
* him my growth this year.*
**[16:24] Horikita**
*Is it all right for us to part like this?*
**[16:28] Horikita**
* Right now, I'm still the foolish little sister*
* who just chased after her big brother.*
**[16:36] Horikita**
*A fake...*
**[16:38] Horikita**
*I'm a fake.*
**[16:41] Horikita**
*What I really wanted my brother to see was...*
**[16:56] Horikita**
Thank you.
**[16:57] Horikita**
To the fake
**[16:59] Horikita**
and the unquestionably real me.
**[17:36] Ayanokoji**
I'm afraid your sister isn't here yet.
**[17:39] Manabu**
I see.
**[17:43] Manabu**
Ayanokoji, why are you
hiding your own talent?
**[17:49] Ayanokoji**
I just don't like standing out, I guess.
**[17:54] Manabu**
Do you think living your school life
under the radar is really worthwhile?
**[18:02] Manabu**
You came to this school to make
some kind of mark, didn't you?
**[18:06] Ayanokoji**
Make a mark?
**[18:09] Ayanokoji**
I think that's something only
shining people like you can do.
**[18:13] Manabu**
If you can't make your
mark on the school itself,
**[18:17] Manabu**
you can make it on the students.
**[18:22] Manabu**
If you engrave on the minds of
the students that a student
**[18:25] Manabu**
named Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was here,
**[18:27] Manabu**
I don't think they'll forget
it all their lives.
**[18:30] Manabu**
I'm grateful for what
you've done for my sister.
**[18:34] Manabu**
But I've realized I'm the kind of
man who expects more than that.
**[18:39] Manabu**
That is why
**[18:42] Manabu**
I don't want you disappointing me.
**[18:46] Ayanokoji**
I'll think about it.
**[18:48] Manabu**
That's all I ask.
**[18:50] Manabu**
The answer you find will guide you.
**[18:54] Manabu**
I should be going now.
**[18:56] Manabu**
I'm sorry to cause you trouble
right up until the end.
**[19:00] Ayanokoji**
Are you sure you shouldn't call
your sister one last time?
**[19:04] Manabu**
No, a moment of inappropriate emotion
from me might inhibit her growth.
**[19:10] Manabu**
Forgive me for pushing it on you,
**[19:12] Manabu**
but I will leave Suzune in your care.
**[19:22] Manabu**
Let us meet again, Ayanokoji.
**[19:36] Horikita**
Brother!
**[19:45] Horikita**
I'm sorry I'm late.
**[19:50] Manabu**
You seem to have changed.
**[19:58] Manabu**
Rather... you've returned to the
person you were then, Suzune.
**[20:03] Horikita**
It took me a year...
**[20:05] Horikita**
No, many years.
**[20:14] Horikita**
I want to keep on walking forward,
for the sake of my classmates.
**[20:22] Horikita**
And in order to find my own path,
**[20:25] Horikita**
I'm going to keep learning
alongside my classmates.
**[20:28] Manabu**
It sounds like you really have returned
to the person you used to be.
**[20:36] Manabu**
Do you know my primary reason
for pushing you away?
**[20:40] Horikita**
No.
**[20:42] Manabu**
You were caught up in the illusion of me.
**[20:45] Manabu**
I simply couldn't allow that.
**[20:50] Manabu**
But you'll be all right.
**[20:53] Manabu**
I'm sure of that now.
**[20:56] Manabu**
Be strong with others, and also kind.
**[21:01] Horikita**
I will.
**[21:02] Manabu**
I must also apologize.
**[21:07] Manabu**
I lied back then, when I
said I preferred long hair.
**[21:12] Manabu**
You always liked having short hair,
**[21:16] Manabu**
so I lied to see if you'd
take it seriously or not.
**[21:21] Manabu**
Forgive me.
**[21:28] Horikita**
I forgive you.
**[21:30] Horikita**
I think your lie is the
reason I'm here right now.
**[21:36] Manabu**
Suzune, I care about you greatly.
**[21:42] Horikita**
Brother...
**[21:44] Manabu**
I'll be waiting for you outside
this gate in two years.
**[21:49] Manabu**
Show me how much you've grown.
**[21:52] Horikita**
I will. I'll do all I can
**[21:55] Horikita**
and fight to the bitter end.
**[21:59] Manabu**
Let us meet again.
**[22:00] Horikita**
Yes.
