[00:13] (Flashback) Kushida
    It's not my fault.
[00:17] (Flashback) Kushida
    What's everyone so mad at me for?
[00:21] (Flashback) Kushida
    They're the ones with the problems.
[00:25] (Flashback) Kushida
    All I did was tell the truth.
[00:30] (Flashback) Kushida
    It's their fault for rejecting me.
[00:35] Kushida
    Yeah, that's just how it had to be!
[00:38] Hirata
    Okay!
[00:38] Hirata
    Is everyone in favor of study sessions
    to prepare for Paper Shuffle?
[00:42] Ike
    I'm in!
[00:44] Yamauchi
    Yeah!
[00:45] Hirata
    It looks like Kushida-san, Horikita-san, and I
[00:48] Hirata
    will be serving as teachers.
[00:51] Hirata
    Group 1 will be held after class,
    and group 2 after clubs end.
[00:54] Hirata
    Each gets two hours.
[00:55] Hirata
    Let's assign the rotation now.
[00:58] Kushida
    I'll take part in both
    groups as much as I can!
[01:02] Hirata
    Thank you, Kushida-san.
[01:04] Kushida
    Let's all work hard together!

[02:39] Hirata
    I'll oversee group 2.
[02:41] Horikita
    Then I'll oversee group 1.
[02:43] Hirata
    And Kushida-san will watch over both groups.
[02:58] Miyake
    Could we talk?
[03:00] Hirata
    Miyake-kun and Hasebe-san?

[03:02] Hirata
    What is it?
[03:03] Miyake
    We're paired up,
[03:05] Miyake
    but we have the same strong and
    weak testing areas. It's a problem.
[03:09] Hirata
    I see.
[03:10] Hirata
    You're a bad match-up for the upcoming test.
[03:14] Horikita
    But we can't handle many
    more in our study groups.
[03:18] Hirata
    I'd like to give everyone the
    support they need, but...
[03:21] Horikita
    True.
[03:22] Horikita
    If we just had another potential teacher...
[03:28] Yukimura
    I'll look after them, then.
[03:31] Hirata
    Yukimura-kun? Are you sure?
[03:34] Yukimura
    I want our class to get past this test.
[03:37] Yukimura
    I wasn't of any use during the sports festival.
[03:40] Hirata
    That's not true.
[03:42] Yukimura
    We've all been undermined by things we've
    regarded as unnecessary in the past.
[03:46] Yukimura
    The only difference is whether
    that was sports or academics.
[03:51] Yukimura
    At this school, you need to be good
    at more than just academics or sports.
[03:57] Horikita
    Yes. That's true.
[03:59] Yukimura
    Instinct, inspiration, intuition.
[04:03] Yukimura
    We'll be called on to use these
    indispensable human qualities.
[04:06] Yukimura
    I hate to admit it, but
    none of us can do it alone.
[04:09] Yukimura
    What we need now is a team
    that covers all the bases.
[04:13] Ayanokoji
    Unity, then?
[04:17] Horikita
    I want you to take part in
    Yukimura-kun's study group.
[04:22] Ayanokoji
    Why me?
[04:24] Horikita
    I want you to see if they're making progress.
[04:29] Horikita
    You were in Yukimura-kun's group
    during the test on the ship,
[04:34] Horikita
    so you must have some flexibility.
[04:43] Yukimura
    So these are the members of our study group.
[04:47] Miyake
    I feel a little bad.
[04:49] Hasebe
    Is this where we say,
    "Nice to be working with you"?
[04:52] Ayanokoji
    Nice to be working with you.
[04:54] Hasebe
    Ayanokoji-kun's capable of talking!
[04:56] Miyake
    Hey, Hasebe.
[04:58] Hasebe
    Well, the guy's usually invisible.
[05:01] Hasebe
    I barely notice if he's even
    in class half the time.
[05:04] Miyake
    But he was pretty awesome
    at the relay the other day.
[05:08] Hasebe
    I was in the bathroom,
    so I didn't see him in action.
[05:14] Hasebe
    He raced the former student
    council president, right?
[05:16] Yukimura
    Speaking of which,
[05:18] Yukimura
    no more hiding things like you
    did at the sports festival.
[05:22] Yukimura
    When it comes to academics,
[05:24] Yukimura
    Horikita tells me you're pretty darn good.
[05:27] Ayanokoji
    I can memorize stuff okay.
[05:29] Yukimura
    Miyake, Hasebe.
[05:31] Yukimura
    I've studied up on your weakest subjects.
[05:33] Ishizaki
    Can't you do something?!
[05:34] Yukimura
    Let's get into details.
[05:36] Yukimura
    I've written up a few humanities questions.
[05:37] Clerk
    Our special cakes must be
    reserved one week in advance.
[05:38] Yukimura
    I'll want you to solve those first.
[05:40] Yukimura
    You'll have ten minutes.
[05:41] Ishizaki
    And I'm tellin' you to make an exception!
[05:44] Hasebe
    What's going on there?
[05:45] Clerk
    I'm terribly sorry.
[05:46] Miyake
    He's from Class C, right?
[05:48] Yukimura
    C'mon, guys, stay focused here!
[05:51] Ayanokoji
    Cake...
[05:53] Ayanokoji
    That reminds me.
[05:53] Clerk
    You could buy one of our premade cakes.
[05:55] Clerk
    We can have one ready in a jiffy.
[05:55] Ayanokoji
    It's almost my birthday.
[06:02] Ayanokoji
    It's impressive, in a way.
[06:04] Yukimura
    They even made pretty much the same mistakes.
[06:07] Ayanokoji
    So we're basically teaching one person, then.
[06:12] Hasebe
    Class C will be making our questions, right?
[06:15] Yukimura
    Yeah.
[06:17] Yukimura
    As long as they pull questions from the
    textbook, it'll come down to basic ability.
[06:21] Yukimura
    We should be able to form
    basic counter-strategies.
[06:23] Hasebe
    You know they're gonna make
    weird questions for us.
[06:26] Hasebe
    You really think this study group will help?
[06:28] Yukimura
    Well...
[06:30] Ayanokoji
    The school will decide if the
    questions are appropriate, right?
[06:35] Yukimura
    Right.
[06:36] Ayanokoji
    If we learn exactly where
    the school draws the line,
[06:40] Ayanokoji
    we'll have a stronger footing.
[06:41] Miyake
    Where the school draws the line?
[06:44] Yukimura
    Is there a way to find that out?
[06:46] Ayanokoji
    I believe there is.
[06:50] Ayanokoji
    We need to prepare some questions
    that seem on the dicey side,
[06:56] Ayanokoji
    and see what the school
    has to say about them.
[06:59] Ayanokoji
    Whether or not they accept those questions
[07:02] Ayanokoji
    will give us our answer.
[07:04] Horikita
    It does seem worth investigating.
[07:07] Ayanokoji
    How's the question composition coming along?
[07:10] Horikita
    Hirata-kun and I are making progress.
[07:13] Horikita
    We're sharing study group
    information, as well.
[07:17] Ayanokoji
    Good.
[07:18] Ayanokoji
    How did things go with Kushida?
[07:20] Horikita
    In what sense?
[07:22] Ayanokoji
    No change in her behavior?
[07:25] Horikita
    She helped as much as she could.
[07:28] Ayanokoji
    She's not involved in coming up with
    the questions for Class C, is she?
[07:34] Horikita
    Yes. We're keeping that close to our chest.
[07:37] Horikita
    But... I don't think that
    will solve the basic problem.
[07:41] Ayanokoji
    Correct.
[07:43] Horikita
    But I have a way to deal with her, I think.
[07:47] Horikita
    Ayanokoji-kun.
[07:49] Horikita
    There's one more favor I'd like to ask of you.
[07:52] Ayanokoji
    Yes?
[07:53] Horikita
    On a day when Yukimura-kun's
    study group isn't meeting,
[07:56] Horikita
    I'd like you to drop in on ours.
[07:58] Ayanokoji
    Again?
[08:00] Horikita
    There are so many people in it, it's hard
    for me to see everything that's happening.

[08:28] Sato
    Wow, it's my first time in a library!
[08:31] Sato
    What about you, Ayanokoji-kun?
[08:32] Ayanokoji
    I've been many times.
[08:34] Sato
    Really?
[08:36] Sato
    A real study nerd, huh?
[08:38] Ayanokoji
    It's just how I kill time.
[08:39] Sato
    You go to the library to kill time?
[08:44] Sato
    Say... is this a problem?
[08:47] Ayanokoji
    Is what a problem?
[08:49] Sato
    You know... suddenly saying I
    wanted to join the study group.
[08:54] Ayanokoji
    I don't mind.
[08:56] Ayanokoji
    And I suspect Horikita and Kushida
    are more than happy to have you.
[09:01] Sato
    That's not what I meant...
[09:03] Horikita
    I need a little less chatter from
    the group this time around.
[09:07] Ike
    F-Fine, we know!
[09:09] Yamauchi
    Yeah, yeah!
[09:10] Sato
    Hey, hey! How do you think I should study?
[09:13] Horikita
    This is a good opportunity.
[09:15] Horikita
    You're a pair already,
    so Ayanokoji-kun can look after you.
[09:19] Ayanokoji
    My test scores aren't that
    much higher than Sato's.
[09:24] Sato
    Let's work hard together, Ayanokoji-kun!
[09:28] Sato
    You're always so calm
    and cool, Ayanokoji-kun.
[09:31] Sato
    I wonder what you were like
    back in middle school!
[09:34] Ike
    These two are pretty cozy, huh?
[09:37] Yamauchi
    They look like they're dating to me!
[09:39] Ike
    No way!
[09:40] Horikita
    Ike-kun, Yamauchi-kun!
[09:42] Horikita
    Stop getting off-task and get ready to study.
[09:45] Horikita
    We're about to start!
[09:47] Ike/Yamauchi/Mori/Inogashira
    Fine.
[09:51] Horikita
    I think that's enough for today.
[09:53] Ike/Yamauchi/Mori/Inogashira
    So tired!
[09:54] Ike/Yamauchi/Mori/Inogashira
    It's finally over!
[09:55] Kushida
    Well, goodbye!
[09:57] Kushida
    And goodbye to you, Horikita-san!
[09:59] Horikita
    Indeed.
[10:04] Sato
    Ayanokoji-kun, wanna walk back with me?
[10:06] Ayanokoji
    I have a few things left to take
    care of. Go on without me.
[10:09] Sato
    Aw, really?
[10:11] Ayanokoji
    Yes.
[10:11] Sato
    Well, see you tomorrow, then.
[10:20] Ayanokoji
    Can you tell me what you have
    in mind to deal with Kushida?
[10:24] Horikita
    I've thought a few things over.
[10:26] Horikita
    If I hadn't come to this school,
[10:30] Horikita
    Kushida-san would have earned
    the whole class's trust
[10:33] Horikita
    and become a fully functioning member
    of the class through graduation.
[10:38] Horikita
    Yet... I stole that future from her.
[10:45] Horikita
    It's not my fault, of course.
[10:48] Horikita
    But I did play a part.
[10:50] Ayanokoji
    What will you do, then?
[10:53] Horikita
    Deal with it in my own way.
[11:05] Horikita
    Kushida-san.
[11:06] Horikita
    I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:09] Kushida
    What were you talking
    about with Ayanokoji-kun?
[11:12] Horikita
    Nothing of consequence.
[11:15] Kushida
    Something you can't tell me?
[11:18] Horikita
    We went to the same middle school,
[11:20] Horikita
    and I know your past.
[11:21] Horikita
    Thus, you want to have me expelled.
[11:24] Horikita
    Am I correct in this understanding?
[11:26] Kushida
    Yes, I absolutely want to
    get you out of this school.
[11:33] Kushida
    Because you were at the same
    school in the same year,
[11:35] Kushida
    and you know about what happened.
[11:38] Horikita
    I don't know anything more than rumors.
[11:41] Kushida
    But I can't be sure of that, can I?
[11:47] Horikita
    Will you make a bet with me?
[11:50] Kushida
    What kind of bet?
[11:52] Horikita
    If I score higher than you
    on the upcoming final,
[11:57] Horikita
    I want you to stop trying to sabotage me.
[12:01] Kushida
    And? If I score higher than you?
[12:05] Horikita
    Then I will leave the school
    of my own free will.
[12:10] Kushida
    Oh?
[12:11] Kushida
    And we're competing as
    individuals, not as our pairs?
[12:14] Horikita
    Yes.
[12:16] Kushida
    Oh, come on!
[12:17] Kushida
    That's no contest!
[12:19] Kushida
    I've never beaten you in
    overall test scores before.
[12:23] Horikita
    Not overall test scores.
[12:25] Horikita
    I want to compete in one of the eight
    subjects we'll be tested on in our finals.
[12:30] Horikita
    I'll even let you choose the subject.
[12:32] Kushida
    Oh?
[12:34] Horikita
    You have an objection?
[12:35] Kushida
    It sounds like a total
    "honor system" agreement to me...
[12:40] Kushida
    What if the results come out and the
    loser pretends it never happened?
[12:45] Horikita
    To make sure that doesn't happen,
[12:46] Horikita
    I've prepared what I believe
    to be a reliable witness.
[12:49] Kushida
    Witness?
[12:55] Manabu
    It's been some time, Kushida.
[12:59] Kushida
    You... remember me?
[13:04] Manabu
    I never forget a face.
[13:07] Horikita
    This is the person I trust
    most in the entire school.
[13:12] Horikita
    Am I right in thinking that you
    trust him to some degree yourself?
[13:18] Kushida
    This whole thing between us—
[13:20] Manabu
    I don't care.
[13:22] Manabu
    I was asked to appear as a witness, no more.
[13:26] Kushida
    Are you sure about this, Horikita-senpai?
[13:28] Kushida
    If your sister gets a lower
    test score than I do...
[13:32] Manabu
    She's the one who proposed this deal to me.
[13:35] Manabu
    I have no intention of interfering.
[13:42] Kushida
    You're really serious about
    this, huh, Horikita-san?
[13:46] Horikita
    I have to go all-in at some point.
[13:49] Kushida
    Okay.
[13:50] Kushida
    I'll take your bet.
[13:52] Kushida
    The subject I choose is math.
[13:55] Kushida
    And if we tie, it's a wash, I guess?
[13:58] Manabu
    It's done.
[14:01] Manabu
    If either of you goes back on your word,
[14:04] Manabu
    be prepared for the consequences.
[14:09] Kushida
    I'm looking forward to
    the finals, Horikita-san!
[14:12] Horikita
    Let's both give it our best.
[14:15] Kushida
    You give it your best, too, Ayanokoji-kun!
[14:18] Kushida
    Come on, I'm not that stupid!

[14:33] Kushida
    Hey.
[14:34] Kushida
    Do you think I could stick

    What condition?
[14:40] Kushida
    If I beat your math score, Horikita-san,
[14:44] Kushida
    I'd like Ayanokoji-kun to be expelled, too!
[14:48] Horikita
    I can't agree to that.
[14:50] Kushida
    Aw, really?
[14:51] Kushida
    Too bad!
[14:54] Ayanokoji
    I'll agree to that.
[14:56] Ayanokoji
    I'll bet on Horikita winning, of course.
[14:59] Horikita
    Ayanokoji-kun, no!
[15:01] Horikita
    This has nothing to do with you!
[15:03] Ayanokoji
    That's untrue.
[15:06] Kushida
    I'm so glad you agreed.
[15:08] Ayanokoji
    I'm sure.
[15:10] Ayanokoji
    But that means I add a condition of my own.
[15:14] Ayanokoji
    I want you to tell me exactly what happened
[15:17] Ayanokoji
    with you in middle school.
[15:22] Ayanokoji
    I think I have a right to know.
[15:25] Ayanokoji
    I could get expelled for
    something I know nothing about.
[15:30] Ayanokoji
    And you're acting under the assumption
    that Horikita knows what happened, right?
[15:36] Ayanokoji
    Therefore,
[15:37] Ayanokoji
    giving us the details here and
    now won't change anything.
[15:42] Horikita
    I have no interest in
    learning about her past!
[15:45] Ayanokoji
    You may not, but I do.
[15:48] Ayanokoji
    How about it?
[15:52] Ayanokoji
    Or if I claim I know nothing about it,
[15:56] Ayanokoji
    will you let me off the hook?
[16:04] Kushida
    You want to hear it that badly?
[16:11] Kushida
    Hey, Ayanokoji-kun...
[16:14] Kushida
    That moment you feel you do
    something better than others...
[16:19] Kushida
    Isn't it just the best?
[16:27] Kushida
    Back in elementary school,
[16:29] Kushida
    people would lavish me with praise
    over the smallest accomplishments.
[16:36] Kushida
    If I got the best grade on a test,
[16:38] Kushida
    or placed first in a race,
[16:40] Kushida
    I'd be the center of attention.
[16:44] Kushida
    "So awesome, so impressive, so charming."
[16:46] Kushida
    You've had those moments in the
    spotlight yourself, haven't you?
[16:52] Kushida
    More than anything, I wanted the spotlight.
[16:54] Kushida
    More than anything, I wanted praise!
[16:57] Kushida
    And in the moments I received those
    things, I felt so worthwhile.
[17:03] Kushida
    "Desire for recognition,"
    I think they call it.
[17:06] Kushida
    I feel that more strongly than others,
    and I became dependent on it.
[17:13] Kushida
    But...
[17:14] Kushida
    I soon found my limit.
[17:18] Kushida
    No matter how hard I worked,
[17:20] Kushida
    academically or in sports,
[17:23] Kushida
    nobody gave me any more attention.
[17:30] Kushida
    And so I realized...
[17:33] Kushida
    I just had to do the things
    nobody else wanted to do!
[17:38] Kushida
    "I'll tutor you."
[17:39] Kushida
    "I'll help you."
[17:40] Kushida
    "I'll be there for you."
[17:43] Kushida
    I'd be the nicest and the friendliest.
[17:46] Kushida
    And that made me number one!
SIGN    Thank you
[17:48] Kushida
    Number one in popularity!
SIGN    You're a lifesaver, Kushida
[17:51] Kushida
    The ecstasy of being needed,
    of being trusted!
SIGN    Thanks a bunch!
[17:58] Kushida
    It was bliss!
[18:01] Kushida
    But...
[18:03] Kushida
    volunteering to do the things
    nobody else wants to do
[18:07] Kushida
    is painful, you know?
[18:11] Kushida
    Well, of course it's painful.
[18:17] Kushida
    It hurts.
[18:20] Kushida
    But...
[18:22] Kushida
    If I don't suck it up...
[18:32] Kushida
    If I want to maintain my popularity...
[18:35] Kushida
    I can't throw away what I have.
[18:38] Kushida
    I endured, endured, and kept enduring.
[18:42] Kushida
    But...
[18:43] Kushida
    Who could possibly keep that up...
[18:46] Kushida
    forever?!
[18:50] Kushida
    The only outlet I had at the time was...
[18:55] Kushida
    my blog!
[18:58] Kushida
    It was the one place I could vent all the
    secret stress I couldn't reveal to anyone.

    You act so hot, like you're the most popular girl in class. But what you don't
    know, Miss Queen Bee, is that there's a private chat for all the girls except you.
    The boys think you're annoying, too. Maybe you should get over yourself, lol.
SIGN    Student K
SIGN    Just your average, everyday middle schooler.
    I write what happens to me at school plus
    my thoughts.
[19:05] Kushida
    And just like that, the bile
    in my throat went back down.
[19:10] Kushida
    But one day...
[19:13] Kushida
    My classmates happened to find my blog.
SIGN    Today's my 80th Entry
[19:17] Kushida
    I didn't use any names, but based on
    what I said, they all knew who it was.
[19:22] Kushida
    They found out all the awful things
    I said about everyone in the class,
[19:26] Kushida
    so I know that's just how it had to be...
[19:29] Kushida
    But they really gave me an earful about it.
[19:31] Kushida
    After everything...
[19:33] Kushida
    After everything I'd done for all of them,
[19:36] Kushida
    they just turned on me!
[19:38] Kushida
    Even the boys who said they liked me!
[19:40] Kushida
    Even the girls I comforted when
    their boyfriends dumped them!
[19:42] Kushida
    I mean, it's not like I didn't
    think those boys were gross,
[19:45] Kushida
    and I wanted them to die...
[19:47] Kushida
    Or that one look at the girls' faces
    made it obvious why they got dumped...
[19:52] Kushida
    My fight-or-flight instinct was triggered.
[19:54] Kushida
    The whole class was against me, after all.
[19:58] Kushida
    So I used my weapon.
[20:02] Kushida
    I told them everything.
[20:05] Kushida
    The truth about all the classmates
    I didn't even write about in my blog!
[20:11] Kushida
    Who he's cheating with.

[20:21] Kushida
    And then...
[20:23] (Flashback) Students
    You've got to be kidding!
[20:26] (Flashback) Students
    How many girls have you gone out with?!
[20:28] (Flashback) Students
    What's wrong with you?
[20:31] Kushida
    The anger they'd turned on me,
    they soon turned on each other!
[20:37] Kushida
    That's just how it had to be!
[20:39] Kushida
    They'd stopped praising me, after all.
[20:44] Kushida
    And that's what really happened!
[20:47] Ayanokoji
    "Truth," eh?
[20:49] Ayanokoji
    A powerful but double-edged sword.
[20:53] Kushida
    I don't know Class D all
    that well just yet...
[20:57] Kushida
    But I do know enough "truth"
    to take down a few people.
[21:04] Kushida
    My real mistake was venting
    stress on the Internet.
[21:07] Kushida
    You never know who's looking at it,
[21:09] Kushida
    and there's no getting rid of
    the content once it's on there.
[21:13] Kushida
    That's why, for now, I'm venting
    all my stress verbally,
[21:16] Kushida
    and otherwise getting along!
[21:19] (Flashback) Kushida
    I hate you, hate you, hate you!
[21:22] (Flashback) Kushida
    Just die, Horikita!
[21:27] Horikita
    You'd go that far... just for...
[21:31] Kushida
    Well, it's my purpose in life!
[21:34] Kushida
    My whole life, there's nothing I've loved
    more than being noticed and praised!
[21:38] Kushida
    And when someone reveals secrets to
    me that they haven't told anyone else,
[21:41] Kushida
    I feel something welling inside
    me that defies even imagination!
[21:47] Ayanokoji
    A monster created by the
    "desire for recognition"...
[21:51] Kushida
    My past is really nothing special, see?
[21:54] Kushida
    But it's everything to me!
[21:57] Kushida
    Don't forget, okay?
[21:59] Kushida
    You both promised you'd drop
    out of school if I won!
