    More importantly, don't forget
    about the regular meet.
[00:10] Shiki
    "Regular meet"?
[00:12] Mari
    It's a regularly scheduled
    competition where quiz teams
[00:14] Mari
    from several schools come together.
[00:17] Mari
    Well, that means you have
    a rival, doesn't it?
[00:22] Shiki
    A... rival?
[00:24] Mari
    Yep.
[00:26] Shiki
    S-Sorry!
[00:28] Shiki
    I'm going home!
[00:29] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun?
[00:35] Shiki
    "Rival"...
[00:36] Shiki
    That's a title you only give to one
    whose skills you acknowledge,
[00:39] Shiki
    evoking more passion
    than anyone else's name.
[00:42] Shiki
    I always thought it'd never be more
    than a dream for me to have one.

[02:33] Gakuto
    The regular meet?
[02:34] Shiki
    Mikuriya-kun told me about it.
[02:37] Mari
    We figured you'd know the schedule,
[02:39] Mari
    and how the tournament works, and so on.
[02:42] Gakuto
    Jinko, work more quietly.
[02:46] Jinko
    Sure.
[02:48] Gakuto
    I was just thinking I should
    tell you all about it.
[02:51] Gakuto
    The full schedule is still
    to be confirmed,
[02:53] Gakuto
    but the regular meet will take place in
    June at Asagaoka Girls' High School.
[02:57] Inoue
    Asagaoka?
[02:59] Mari
    That's Yukicchi's school!
[03:01] Chiaki
    The "regular meet"
[03:03] Chiaki
    is, in fact, a normal activity
    for every quiz bowl team.
[03:09] Chiaki
    But the "regular meet" for
    student quiz bowl teams
[03:12] Chiaki
    is basically a meet held
    out of school hours.
[03:15] Chiaki
    Schools take turns
    hosting a quiz tournament.
[03:19] Chiaki
    You could call it a larger version
    of the last meet at Sekigawata.
[03:23] Yuki
    A larger version...
[03:24] Chiaki
    All the strongest schools in Kanto and
    the surrounding prefectures participate.
[03:29] Chiaki
    Kaijou Academy will most
     likely be there, as well.
[03:32] Kenmochi
    Kaijou's that elite high school!
[03:35] Kogawa
    Oh, gosh! All those smart
    boys will be coming here!
[03:39] Chiaki
    As Asagaoka is the host school,
[03:42] Chiaki
    we must make preparations to welcome
    these competitive schools.
[03:45] Kenmochi
    So we'll get to make boys from competitive
    schools really apply themselves!
[03:49] Kujou
    And we get to put anguished looks on
    their faces with our tough questions!
[03:53] Kogawa
    It'll be a white-hot drama of
    boys in a garden of girls!
[03:56] Yuki
    Uh, I think there'll be
    girls participating, too...
[04:01] Chiaki
    I've already come up with a special plan.
[04:06] Shiki
    Sekigawata, Miyaura... and Kaijou, too?
[04:12] Mari
    Kaijou's quiz team is the
    toughest of the tough.
[04:16] Mari
    They're a top national level team.
[04:18] Inoue
    Seriously?
[04:19] Gakuto
    Participation is optional.
[04:22] Shiki
    I'm in!
[04:23] Mari
    Me, too!
[04:25] Inoue
    M-Me, too!
[04:27] Shiki
    I'm going up against Mikuriya-kun.
[04:30] Gakuto
    Good. In competitive quiz bowl, you
    can't get better without experience.
[04:35] Gakuto
    It'll be good for you to get some practice
    with veteran schools at the regular meet.
[04:39] Jinko
    C'mon, Gakuto. Sounds like y'all are
    expectin' to lose right from the get-go.
[04:45] Jinko
    Competitions're all a matter of chance.
    They're fun 'cause no one knows what'll happen.
[04:49] Jinko
    Ain't that what you're always sayin'?
[04:51] Mari
    That's right, Senpai!
[04:52] Mari
    I think, in terms of knowledge, Koshiyama-kun
    can hold his own against those tough schools!
[04:57] Shiki
    I-I'll do my best to win!
[05:00] Gakuto
    I see.
[05:02] Gakuto
    In that case, in preparation for the meet,
[05:05] Gakuto
    you should compete among
    yourselves, starting today.
[05:08] Gakuto
    We'll start with a quiz paper.
[05:10] Gakuto
    You have ten minutes.
[05:13] Gakuto
    It's typical for quiz papers to be issued
    during the early rounds of the meet.
[05:18] Gakuto
    It's a quiz format that
    simply tests knowledge.
[05:24] Gakuto
    Begin.
[05:25] Shiki
    So written quizzes are part
    of competitions, too?
[05:27] Shiki
    This might play to my strengths.
[05:31] Shiki
    Or maybe it won't be so easy...

    Fifty questions in ten minutes...
    So I need to answer one every twelve seconds.

    Time limits put you under pressure,

    and answers don't always
    spring to mind immediately.

[05:43] Shiki
    Plus, I have trouble with
    categories I'm less familiar with.
[05:48] Shiki
    The last question is...
[05:50] Shiki
    "How much does Sasajima Jinko
    currently weigh, in kilos?"
[05:58] Gakuto
    A question requiring
    approximation is often added
[06:01] Gakuto
    at the end of quizzes to determine
    a winner in the event of a tie.
SIGN    Approximation Question
    How much does Sasajima Jinko currently weigh, in kilos?
[06:03] Inoue
    The issue is those boobs...
[06:05] Mari
    They're definitely heavier than mine.
[06:08] Shiki
    She's taller than me...
[06:10] Jinko
    What? What's up with y'all? Stop starin' at me!
[06:14] Gakuto
    That's ten minutes. Time's up.
[06:16] Gakuto
    Get on.
[06:19] Jinko
    Why the heck?!
[06:20] Gakuto
    47.5 kilograms.
[06:22] Inoue
    Yeah!
[06:23] Jinko
    Gakuto, you idiot!
[06:25] Gakuto
    In last place with 16 points,
[06:27] Gakuto
    Inoue Daisuke.
[06:31] Inoue
    And I guessed her precise weight and all...
[06:33] Gakuto
    You have a long way to go.
[06:35] Inoue
    I-I know that!
[06:37] Inoue
    In second place with 39 points,
[06:39] Gakuto
    Fukami Mari.
[06:42] Gakuto
    Aren't classic questions your strong suit?
    You'd lose in the opening round with that.
[06:46] Mari
    I'm sorry.
[06:47] Gakuto
    In first place with 44 points,
[06:49] Gakuto
    Koshiyama Shiki.
[06:50] Shiki
    Y-Yes, sir.
[06:52] Mari
    I figured it'd be Koshiyama-kun.
[06:54] Gakuto
    Koshiyama, how do you feel about your score?
[06:58] Shiki
    I-I did fairly well, I guess...
[07:02] Gakuto
    You're naïve.
[07:03] Gakuto
    Every single one of the veteran school's
    players would ace a quiz of classics like this.
[07:09] Gakuto
    You'd lose in the opening round, too.
[07:11] Gakuto
    You wouldn't even get to
    the buzzer rounds.
[07:14] Inoue
    Whoa, harsh...
[07:17] Gakuto
    Paper quizzes screen out a
    large number of participants.
[07:20] Gakuto
    One point can separate winners from losers.
[07:23] Gakuto
    Your knowledge base extends
    no further than literature.
[07:27] Gakuto
    You won't be causing any upsets
    against the veteran schools.
[07:31] Mari
    Senpai, you didn't need to go that far...
[07:34] Shiki
    I know that!
[07:35] Shiki
    If I go to the regular meet like this,
    I'll only disappoint Mikuriya-kun.
[07:40] Shiki
    I'll gain lots more knowledge!
[07:43] Shiki
    I'll improve my technique
    and learn about quiz bowl!
[07:47] Mari
    Gaudí!
[07:47] Gakuto
    Correct.

    Foyer!
[07:51] Mari
    Joseki!
[07:53] Shiki
    Next time...
[07:54] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun!
[07:56] Mari
    Focus more on the determining points.
[07:58] Mari
    It's too late if you wait to know
    the answer before buzzing!
[08:01] Mari
    Buzz in as soon as you think you can guess it.
[08:03] Mari
    Otherwise, you won't even
    get the right to answer!
[08:06] Shiki
    Fukami-san...
[08:14] Gakuto
    Question.
[08:15] Gakuto
    The shrine where you would find the
     god of protection against fire is—
[08:19] Shiki
    Akihabara!
[08:23] Gakuto
    Correct.
SIGN    Q. The shrine where you would find the god of protection against fire is
    the namesake of which town, famous for its "Electric Town"? A. Akihabara
SIGN    Koshiyama
[08:29] Inoue
    Should've known Fukami-san would kick
    our butts in the fastest finger round.
[08:33] Shiki
    Yeah, I only managed to
    get the last question.
[08:38] Jinko
    Still...
[08:39] Jinko
    I never knew there were so many
    quiz nuts like Gakuto out there.
[08:43] Mari
    Didn't your brother's involvement
    in quiz bowl rub off on you at all?
[08:47] Jinko
    I'm more interested in makin' things
    than answerin' questions, that's all.
[08:53] Mari
    Oh...
[08:55] Jinko
    The buzzers'll be done soon, too.
[08:57] Jinko
    Look forward to 'em.
[09:00] Jinko
    Gakuto! Wait up! Give me a ride!
[09:03] Mari
    Those two sure are close.
[09:09] Shiki
    Hey, Fukami-san...
[09:11] Shiki
    Thanks for your advice on buzzing in.
[09:13] Mari
    Not at all.
[09:14] Mari
    Seeing you trying so hard
     motivated me, too.
[09:20] Shiki
    By the way, what made
    you get into quiz bowl?
[09:24] Inoue
    I wanna know, too!
[09:27] Mari
    Well...
[09:29] Mari
    I guess it was my brother's influence.
[09:33] Shiki
    You have a brother?
[09:34] Mari
    Yeah. He's a year older than me,
[09:38] Mari
    and he's been doing quiz
    bowl since middle school.
[09:42] Mari
    I always used to read quiz books like he did,
[09:45] Mari
    and got him to teach me about quiz bowl.

[10:26] Mari
    was so popular that it was

    I managed to get into the meet, but
    couldn't answer a single question.
[10:53] Mari
    But in the middle of all that...
[10:56] (Flashback) Guy
    Question.
[10:57] (Flashback) Guy
    French for "flash of lightning,"
[11:00] (Flashback) Guy
    a long, thin pastry topped with—

[11:11] (Flashback) Host
    Correct.
[11:23] Mari
    I think it's because of that one question
[11:25] Mari
    that I'm in quiz bowl right now.
[11:30] Mari
    I was only able to answer one question,
[11:32] Mari
    but I still can't forget that moment.
[11:36] Shiki
    I see... Just like me and Das Gemeine.
[11:41] Mari
    And the other reason was the way
    my brother looked that day.

[12:24] Mari
    It was amazing.
[12:27] Inoue
    From what you just said, that school's
    quiz team must be pretty awesome, too.
[12:31] Shiki
    What school does your brother go to?
[12:33] Mari
    Well, my brother is...
[12:36] Mari
    a second-year at Kaijou High School.
[12:39] Shiki
    Kaijou?!
[12:40] Inoue
    That elite high school?
[12:42] Inoue
    Maybe you two will face each other
    in competition at the regional meet!
[12:47] Mari
    Unfortunately, he won't be
    participating in the regular meet.
[12:51] Inoue
    Huh? Why not?
[12:54] Mari
    He quit quiz bowl.
[12:57] Mari
    He said he wants to focus
    on his entrance exams.
[13:01] Mari
    Can't help that, right?

[15:57] Inoue
    Well, I did completely
    screw up the paper quiz.
[16:01] Inoue
    I guess I should read up a little.
[16:04] Gakuto
    This is only a fraction of what I have.
[16:07] Gakuto
    I regularly collect past
    questions from other schools
[16:09] Gakuto
    as well as question collections
    from adult quiz circles.

    That's a good reading method.
[17:03] Gakuto
    It's easier to recall knowledge you took in
[17:05] Gakuto
    by reading related sources than by
    just reading anything at random.
[17:09] Shiki
    Will that be useful for quiz bowl?
[17:12] Gakuto

    are often used for questions.

    Question.

    I...
[18:19] Mari
    ...love quiz bowl!
[18:21] Both
    Huh?!
[18:23] Jinko
    I dunno what's goin' on, but well said!
[18:27] Mari
    Jinko-san...
[18:29] Jinko
    In response to all of y'all's enthusiasm,
[18:32] Jinko
    I'd like to present my handmade buzzer set!
[18:36] Shiki
    They're done?
[18:37] Inoue
    When did that happen?
[18:38] Gakuto
    Just a moment ago.
[18:43] Jinko
    There!
[18:47] Inoue
    Huh?
[18:49] Mari
    Lunch boxes?
[18:51] Shiki
    Th-They're very cute buzzer buttons.
[18:55] Gakuto
    Well, let's start with a buzzer test.
[18:57] Buzzer
    Meow!
[18:58] Buzzer
    Oink!
[19:00] Buzzer
    Baa!
[19:01] Buzzer
    Ribbit!
[19:02] Inoue
    I don't think so!
[19:03] Mari
    They're cute, but...
[19:05] Shiki
    This'll make me forget any
    answers I come up with...
[19:08] Gakuto
    Fix this by tomorrow.
[19:10] Jinko
    Aw, y'all are no fun.
[19:13] Jinko
    Oh, yeah! Question!
[19:15] Jinko
    What's a cute girl like me
    called in the Kyoto dialect?
[19:19] Buzzer
    Meow!
[19:22] Shiki
    B-Belle.
[19:24] Buzzer
    Dummy!
[19:25] Jinko
    Correct!
[19:26] Shiki
    It was the right answer, but
    I still got called a dummy...
[19:34] Shiki
    We finally got our own buzzers.
[19:37] Shiki
    Our preparations for the regular
    meet are finally underway.
[19:51] Chiaki
    Looks like just about all
    of the entries are in.
[19:55] Akira
    Hey, Onee-tama! Look at me!
[19:58] Chiaki
    Huh?
[19:59] Akira
    What do you think?
[20:00] Chiaki
    Hey, that's—
[20:02] Akira
    See? It's a perfect fit!
[20:05] Akira
    It's almost time for our
    summer uniforms, right?
[20:07] Akira
    Lend me this outfit when
     summer comes around!
[20:09] Chiaki
    What would you even do with it?
[20:11] Chiaki
    Take it off!
[20:13] Akira
    I guess it won't work,
    since we go to different schools.
[20:16] Chiaki
    You think that's the reason?
[20:18] Akira
    By the way, Nee-chan,
[20:19] Akira
    is doing quiz bowl with
    all the other kids fun?
[20:23] Chiaki
    Your school has a perfectly
    fine quiz bowl team.
[20:27] Chiaki
    Why don't you give it a try?
[20:29] Akira
    But clubs are such a hassle.
[20:33] Akira
    I've found someone interesting, though.
[20:36] Akira
    His name's "Koshiyama."
[20:38] Chiaki
    Koshiyama? I've heard that name somewhere...
[20:42] Akira
    He does quiz bowl, too.
[20:45] Chiaki
    Is he that literary nut from Buzou?

[20:48] Chiaki
    He's put his name down for the regular
     meet. But how do you know him?
[22:30] Gakuto
    Our usual quiz master has made
    his way to a certain location.
[22:34] Gakuto
    Now, live from the scene: Quiz Master!
[22:36] Master
    Yes! I'm currently in the place all high
    school students dream of visiting: New York!
[22:41] Master
    And the venue for this year's high
    school quiz meet is, of course, right here...
[22:44] Master
    In front of the Statue of Liberty!
[22:48] Shiki
    I'd love to go there!
[22:49] Master
    Yes, I look forward to seeing you
    here one day, Koshiyama-kun.
[22:54] Master
    Let's all do it together! The password is...
[22:56] Master
    Victory!
[22:58] All
    Victory!
