SIGN    H. Poincare, "Science and Hypothesis"
[00:15] Manabu
    I have been proud and grateful,
    for the past two years,
[00:21] Manabu
    to have led the student body as
    your student council president.
[00:25] Manabu
    Simple though it may be,
    this concludes my resignation speech.
[00:30] Manabu
    Thank you all.
[00:35] Ayanokoji
    Before, she'd have been inconsolable.
[00:38] MC
    Thank you for all your hard
    work, President Horikita.
[00:42] MC
    We'll now hear a few words from the
    incoming student council president.
[00:50] Nagumo
    I am your newly instituted
    student council president,
[00:54] Nagumo
    Nagumo Miyabi of Class 2-A.
[00:58] Nagumo
    I'll get right to the point:
[00:59] Nagumo
    I wish to turn this school
    into a true meritocracy.
[01:05] Nagumo
    Students with ability
    will be at the very top,
[01:08] Nagumo
    and those without it at the very bottom.
[01:10] Nagumo
    This is how things should be.
[01:19] Katsuragi
    Your performance in the sports
    festival was a genuine surprise.
[01:23] Ayanokoji
    Katsuragi.
[01:24] Katsuragi
    Please tell Horikita to watch out for Ryuen.
[01:29] Ayanokoji
    Weren't you working with Ryuen in the past?
[01:33] Katsuragi
    To my present chagrin.
[01:35] Katsuragi
    I never should have gotten involved with him.
[01:39] Katsuragi
    Ryuen is our mutual enemy.
[01:42] Ayanokoji
    Understood.
[01:43] Ayanokoji
    I'll let her know.
[01:45] Katsuragi
    Please do.
[01:49] Ayanokoji
    Both sides have our share
    of worries, it seems.
[01:53] Sato
    Hey...
[01:56] Sato
    Listen...
[01:58] Sato
    Could I talk to you a minute?
[02:00] Sato
    I have to say something.

[04:05] Sato

[05:10] Ayanokoji
    Like a loyal dog.
[05:12] Chabashira
    As you can see, no one will
    be expelled this time.
[05:16] Chabashira
    In my three years leading Class D,
[05:18] Chabashira
    I've never gone this long without
    a single drop-out before.
[05:24] Chabashira
    Well done.
[05:26] Miyake
    Is that the first time she's
    said something nice about us?
[05:26] Ike
    Guess we deserve a little
    praise now and then!
[05:29] Yamauchi
    Yeah!
[05:30] Yukimura
    Feels like damning with
    faint praise, though...
[05:32] Chabashira
    But the danger isn't past just yet.
[05:36] Chabashira
    You'll really have to prove yourselves
    in the next special exam,
[05:38] Chabashira
    which will serve as your finals.
[05:41] Chabashira
    It's known as Paper Shuffle.
[05:45] Horikita
    Paper Shuffle?
[05:46] Chabashira
    This exam will have everyone in the
    class participating in teams of two.
[05:51] Hasabe
    Pairing up, you mean?
[05:53] Ike
    I wanna be with Kikyo-chan!
[05:58] Sakura
    Pairing up...
[06:02] Shinohara
    You'll be with Hirata-kun,
    right, Karuizawa-san?
[06:04] Karuizawa
    Wh-What?
[06:05] Karuizawa
    But... do we even get to choose?
[06:08] Sato
    Hey! How exactly do the pairs get chosen?
[06:13] Chabashira
    Hold your horses.
[06:15] Chabashira
    The manner in which pairs are chosen will
    be announced after next week's mini test.
[06:21] Yamauchi
    Another test?!
[06:23] Chabashira
    Its purpose will be to ascertain
    your current academic ability.
[06:29] Chabashira
    You'll receive no penalties for
    low scores, even for a zero.
[06:33] Matsushita
    Thank goodness!
[06:35] Chabashira
    However, the mini test's results will
    be crucial to the Paper Shuffle.
[06:43] Chabashira
    If, on the upcoming special exam,
[06:45] Chabashira
    the pair's total score falls
    below the bar of sixty points,
[06:50] Chabashira
    both students will be expelled.
[06:53] Chabashira
    For instance, if Ike and
    Hirata are paired up,
[06:55] Chabashira
    even if Ike scores zero,
    as long as Hirata scores sixty,
[06:58] Chabashira
    you're safe.
[06:59] Chabashira
    There's also a bar for total
    performance across all subjects.
[07:04] Chabashira
    I'll provide the precise numbers later,
[07:06] Chabashira
    but in a given year, it's around 700
    points across a total of eight subjects.
[07:11] Ayanokoji
    Which suggests a rough average of
    44 points per subject is required.
[07:18] Chabashira
    One more thing.
[07:19] Chabashira
    The questions for the upcoming test
    will be crafted by you yourselves.
[07:24] Sudo
    Huh?!
[07:26] Chabashira
    And the questions crafted by each class
[07:28] Chabashira
    will be answered by one of
    the other three classes.
[07:32] Chabashira
    You'll also get to choose which
    class you hope gets your questions.
[07:36] Chabashira
    In the case of a duplicate request,
    a lottery will decide.
[07:40] Chabashira
    And whichever class scores
    higher between the two classes
[07:44] Chabashira
    will steal fifty class points from the other.
[07:49] Horikita
    Like a direct attack, then.
[07:52] Yukimura
    What if they give you questions
    that can't possibly be answered?
[07:56] Koenji
    I'd love to see them try!
[07:59] Chabashira
    No need to worry.
[08:01] Chabashira
    The other teachers and I
[08:02] Chabashira
    will scrutinize the questions to
    make sure that doesn't happen.
[08:05] Chabashira
    Obviously, cheating will
    result in instant failure,
[08:08] Chabashira
    and both members of the
    pair will be expelled.
[08:12] Chabashira
    The Paper Shuffle sees a pair
    or two expelled every year.
[08:19] Chabashira
    Keep that in mind.
SIGN    Next exam: Paper Shuffle
    • Pairs determined by the mini test
    • Pair's combined score bar
    • Bar for total score as well
    • Questions crafted by the students
    • Generated questions solved by another class
    • Classes pitted directly against one another
    • Two or three pairs expelled each year
    • The system for determining the pairs is key
[08:22] Chabashira
    I'll send an email with detailed rules
    for how to craft your questions.
[08:27] Chabashira
    I leave the rest for you to consider.
[08:31] Ayanokoji
    What do you make of this upcoming exam?
[08:34] Horikita
    I know how to win it.

    I'd planned on talking to you
    sooner or later regardless.
[10:14] Kushida
    Thanks!
[10:17] Horikita
    Could the rest of you go on ahead?

[11:05] Horikita
    Kushida-san and I...
[11:08] Horikita
    We attended the same middle school.
[11:12] Horikita
    The school was well attended,
    and we were never in the same class,
[11:17] Horikita
    so it took me some time to remember her.
[11:20] Horikita
    One day, as our middle school
    graduation drew near,
[11:26] Horikita
    an incident occurred
[11:28] Horikita
    that tore one of the classes apart.
[11:33] Horikita
    And the rumor spread...
[11:36] Horikita
    that the one who started it all
[11:40] Horikita
    was a single female student.
[11:44] Ayanokoji
    And you believe it was Kushida?
[11:46] Horikita
    It's all rumors, of course.
[11:49] Horikita
    I don't know exactly what happened,
[11:53] Horikita
    but the class remained in
    turmoil until graduation.
[11:58] Horikita
    But how could a single person
    destroy an entire class?
[12:03] Ayanokoji
    I can think of a few ways.
[12:06] Ayanokoji
    Listen, Horikita...
[12:09] Ayanokoji
    Do you know what the strongest
    weapon in this world is?
[12:13] Horikita
    I'm not sure.
[12:15] Horikita
    Violence, I suppose.
[12:18] Horikita
    Nobody can stop violence
    occurring in front of their eyes.
[12:22] Ayanokoji
    That's not Kushida's style.
[12:25] Ayanokoji
    If Kushida wields a power of
    equal potency to violence...
[12:31] Horikita
    One way or another,
[12:33] Horikita
    Kushida-san sees me as an obstacle.
[12:36] Horikita
    Even though I have no idea
    what even happened...
[12:40] Ayanokoji
    I'm sure she doesn't believe that's true.
[12:43] Ayanokoji
    Direct action might be preferable
    over trying to convince her.
[12:50] Horikita
    Get Kushida-san expelled, you mean?
[12:53] Ayanokoji
    A strong offense is frequently
    the most effective defense.
[12:57] Horikita
    You're the one who admonished me for
    considering cutting Sudo-kun loose.
[13:03] Ayanokoji
    Kushida will continue to plague
    us until you're expelled.
[13:09] Horikita
    Things have only gotten this bad, in part,
    because I've refused to confront her.
[13:14] Horikita
    And Kushida-san is quite talented.
[13:16] Horikita
    She could be a considerable asset to Class D.
[13:21] Ayanokoji
    You think you can bring her to our side?
[13:23] Horikita
    Yes.
[13:24] Horikita
    I'm going to keep talking to her.
[13:27] Horikita
    And I will make her understand.
[13:32] Ayanokoji
    Very well.
[13:34] Ayanokoji
    If you're that determined,
    I'll watch from afar.
[13:38] Horikita
    "Watch from afar"?
[13:41] Horikita
    But I'll ask you to refrain from
[13:42] Horikita
    protecting me the way you
    did at the sports festival.
[13:45] Ayanokoji
    You knew about that?
[13:46] Horikita
    I had an idea.
[13:48] Horikita
    I was annoyed that you took action
    on the assumption that I'd fail,
[13:53] Horikita
    but I won't argue,
    given how things turned out.
[13:57] Ayanokoji
    Sorry about that.
[14:00] Horikita
    However...
[14:02] Horikita
    If not for you, right now, I'd...
[14:07] Horikita
    Thank you.
[14:15] Ayanokoji
    An extremely roundabout
    expression of gratitude.
[14:20] Ryuen
    Seems to me there's been too much
    that's off in these recent exams.
[14:27] Ryuen
    Too much to be a coincidence.
[14:30] Ryuen
    The mastermind pulling Class D's strings...
[14:34] Ryuen
    And the spy helping them out...
[14:38] Ryuen
    I know it's one of you.
[14:41] Ibuki
    You can't be serious!
[14:44] Ryuen
    All right, you lot.
[14:46] Ryuen
    Do you know what the strongest
    power in this world is?
[14:51] Ryuen
    It's unrestrained violence.
[14:55] Ryuen
    I'll give you one last chance.
[14:57] Ryuen
    Come clean, and I'll let your betrayal slide.
[15:02] Ryuen
    Do exactly as I say, and I'll protect you.
[15:05] Ryuen
    But if you play dumb with me...
[15:17] Ryuen
    What's the matter?
[15:19] Ryuen
    Can't even look me in the eye,
[15:22] Ryuen
    Manabe?
[15:25] Ryuen
    You're the traitor, aren't you?
[15:32] Ryuen
    You think I didn't know the whole time?!
[15:34] Manabe
    I... I'm sorry...
[15:39] Ryuen
    Don't sweat it. I forgive you.
[15:42] Ryuen
    Just tell me one thing...
[15:45] Ryuen
    Who's the mastermind behind it all?
[15:51] Ryuen
    I see.
[15:53] Ryuen
    Bullying can be a very amusing pastime.
[15:57] Ibuki
    How stupid can you get?
[15:59] Ibuki
    Just for that, you sold us
    out to their ringleader?
[16:02] Ryuen
    Go easy on them, Ibuki.
[16:05] Ryuen
    I've already said I forgive them.
[16:09] Ryuen
    And you claim Yukimura and Ayanokoji
    were the only witnesses?
[16:15] Kaneda
    In other words, the mastermind
    is one of those two?
[16:18] Ibuki
    Hang on a minute.
[16:20] Ibuki
    I've had a few interactions with Ayanokoji,
[16:22] Ibuki
    and he didn't seem like
    that kind of person to me!
[16:24] Ryuen
    Ayanokoji...
[16:31] Ryuen
    It seems almost too obvious
    to be plausible...
[16:37] Ryuen
    Maybe I'll use her.
[16:52] Kushida
    Hey, over here!
[16:54] Karuizawa
    Hey, took you long enough!
[16:56] Karuizawa
    What've you been up to?
[16:58] Horikita
    We'll start at once.
[16:59] Karuizawa
    Total brush-off, huh?
[17:01] Karuizawa
    Typical, I guess...
[17:03] Kushida
    We're talking about Paper Shuffle, right?
[17:06] Horikita
    No.
[17:07] Horikita
    The matter of immediate concern
    is next week's mini test.
[17:10] Sudo
    But that don't got squat
    to do with our grades!
[17:11] Ayanokoji
    Perhaps I'll see how
    Horikita does on her own.
[17:14] Horikita
    If it doesn't influence
    our academic standing,
[17:16] Horikita
    then there can be only one reason for it:
[17:18] Horikita
    The mini test's results will determine
    the Paper Shuffle pairings.
[17:23] Horikita
    Remember what our teacher said.
[17:26] (Flashback) Chabashira
    The Paper Shuffle sees a pair
    or two expelled every year.
[17:33] Horikita
    Doesn't that number seem a bit low?
[17:36] Horikita
    If all the poorest-performing
    students are grouped together,
[17:38] Ayanokoji
    Are you following this, Sudo?
[17:39] Horikita
    you'd surely see a dozen or more failures.
[17:40] Sudo
    Y-Yeah, you bet.
[17:42] Karuizawa
    That's right!
[17:44] Hirata
    Good point!
[17:45] Hirata
    You think the pairs are designed
    to create balanced scores?
[17:49] Horikita
    Yes.
[17:50] Horikita
    I believe the highest- and lowest-ranking
    students will be paired together
[17:56] Horikita
    so that all pairs have roughly
    the same average score.
[18:00] Karuizawa
    I get it!
[18:01] Horikita
    Which means our goal should be
[18:03] Horikita
    to precisely pair up those with the
    highest and lowest academic performance.
[18:07] Horikita
    We'll divide all members of Class D
[18:08] Horikita
    into four blocks based on their
    current academic standing.
[18:12] Horikita
    Those in the lowest block will
    leave their test sheets blank.
[18:17] Karuizawa
    Oh, I get it!
[18:19] Karuizawa
    Then they'll definitely get
    paired with the highest scorers!
[18:22] Horikita
    Yes.
[18:23] Horikita
    Similarly, those in the
    second-lowest block
[18:27] Horikita
    will attempt to get only one question right.
[18:29] Hirata
    I see. That'll reduce accidentally
    disadvantageous pairings.
[18:33] Ayanokoji
    Are you keeping up with this, Sudo?
[18:36] Sudo
    I'm pretty damn clueless.
[18:37] Sudo
    Just keeping quiet so I don't get in the way.
[18:40] Karuizawa
    Hey, you finally get how it works?
[18:42] Sudo
    Shaddap! Nobody asked you!
[18:50] Horikita
    This concludes my proposal.
[18:53] Horikita
    The remaining question is: which class
    should we request to receive our questions?
[18:58] Hirata
    Classes A and B are full of students
    with high academic performance.
[19:03] Sudo
    So it sounds like...
[19:05] Horikita
    Yes. Class C is our best bet.
[19:22] sign
    Call Incoming
[19:34] Ayanokoji
    I told you to limit our contact.
[19:39] Karuizawa
    What's the big deal?
[19:41] Karuizawa
    I just wanna know what you told Sato-san!
[19:44] Ayanokoji
    This again?
[19:46] Ayanokoji
    What does it matter to you what I told her?
[19:50] Karuizawa
    It matters a ton!
[19:52] Karuizawa
    You threatened me and made
    me do a bunch of stuff!
[19:56] Karuizawa
    So... if Sato-san finds out about that,
[19:59] Karuizawa
    it'll lead to some weird rumors about me.
[20:02] Ayanokoji
    Okay.
[20:03] Ayanokoji
    I see what you're getting at.
[20:06] Ayanokoji
    You're worried that if
    I grow close with Sato,
[20:09] Ayanokoji
    I'll neglect my promise to protect you.
[20:13] Karuizawa
    Why is that your first thought?!
[20:15] Ayanokoji
    Am I wrong?
[20:16] Karuizawa
    Not entirely, but...
[20:18] Ayanokoji
    I promise, you have nothing to worry about.
[20:21] Karuizawa
    So you're going out with her?
[20:24] Ayanokoji
    I didn't say that.
[20:26] Karuizawa
    You basically did!
[20:30] Karuizawa
    I'm getting your true colors
    loud and clear here.
[20:32] Karuizawa
    You think this is your big chance
    to do some dirty stuff with someone.
[20:37] Ayanokoji
    Why would you assume that?
[20:38] Ayanokoji
    It's a tremendous leap in logic.
[20:41] Karuizawa
    You think?
[20:42] Karuizawa
    You leaped right to making
    me do that weird stuff...
[20:45] Ayanokoji
    I beg your pardon.
[20:46] Ayanokoji
    If every interaction I have
    with a woman is suspect,
[20:49] Ayanokoji
    what does that mean for Horikita?
[20:51] Karuizawa
    I know Horikita-san's not that kind of girl!
[20:54] Ayanokoji
    She didn't actually ask me out yet, anyway.
[20:58] Karuizawa
    Huh?
[20:59] Ayanokoji
    She said she wanted to keep things platonic,
[21:02] Ayanokoji
    and requested an exchange
    of contact information.
[21:04] Karuizawa
    Oh... Did she?
[21:08] Ayanokoji
    So there was nothing to agree to.
[21:10] Karuizawa
    But I still bet you hope you
    get paired up with her, huh?
[21:15] Ayanokoji
    Certainly not.
[21:17] Karuizawa
    Well, I'll let you off the hook for now!
[21:21] Ayanokoji
    How inexplicably condescending of you.
[21:24] Karuizawa
    Not how I meant it!
[21:25] Karuizawa
    Anyway, that's all I wanted to know.
[21:28] Karuizawa
    See ya!
[21:28] Ayanokoji
    Wait a minute.
[21:30] Ayanokoji
    I want to check something.
[21:32] Karuizawa
    What is it?
[21:33] Ayanokoji
    Manabe and the others haven't
    gone after you since then?
[21:38] Karuizawa
    No... Not yet.
[21:41] Ayanokoji
    If anything does happen, tell me right away.
[21:44] Ayanokoji
    No matter what happens,
[21:46] Ayanokoji
    I swear I'll resolve it.
[21:54] Karuizawa
    You'd better.
[21:55] Karuizawa
    I mean... that was our agreement and all.
[21:59] Ayanokoji
    And make sure you delete the record—
[22:02] Karuizawa
    ...of this call, right? I know.

[22:05] Ayanokoji
    Perfect. See you later.
SIGN    Call Ended
[22:20] Ayanokoji
    The next day, Horikita explained
    her plan to the class.
[22:27] Ayanokoji
    They seemed convinced by her explanation,
[22:29] Ayanokoji
    and agreed to play along.
[22:33] Ayanokoji
    A Swiss zoologist,
    Alfred Portmann, once said
[22:38] Ayanokoji
    that all humans are born premature.
[22:43] Ayanokoji
    A newborn human can't even walk on its own.
[22:47] Ayanokoji
    Horikita is the same way.
[22:49] Ayanokoji
    But that same underdeveloped nature
[22:53] Ayanokoji
    is an indication of the capacity
    for infinite potential.
