    Round 2 was a "fastest finger" showdown.
[00:33] Jinko
    The Fukami x Yagi pairin'
     won their group easy.
[00:36] Jinko
    In the followin' group, the

[00:48] Jinko
    Yep, yep. You did jus' great, pardner!
[00:51] Jinko
    And now, it's finally Shiki-kun's turn!
[00:55] Shiki
    It's not just the people answering
    that think about the questions.
[00:59] Shiki
    The people who write the
    questions think hard about them,
[01:03] Shiki
    and a lot of detailed planning
    goes into coming up with them.
[01:08] Shiki
    If I can read into that and understand it...
[01:12] Yuki
    Well, it's time for the next
    group to start, Onee-sama.
[01:16] Chiaki
    Which pairing will advance to Round 3?
SIGN    Question 9: "High Road x Low Road"
[03:06] Shiki
    This regular meet holds
    special meaning for me.
[03:11] (Flashback) Mikuriya
    The regular meet in June is up next.
[03:13] (Flashback) Shiki
    Huh?
[03:14] (Flashback) Mikuriya
    Revenge!
[03:16] (Flashback) Mikuriya
    I'm telling you...
[03:18] (Flashback) Mikuriya
    to do quiz bowl!
[03:21] Shiki
    To get revenge on Mikuriya-kun,
[03:24] Shiki
    I have to win this round
[03:26] Shiki
    and face Mikuriya-kun in Round 3.
[03:31] Chiaki
    Have you all drawn your cards?
[03:34] Shiki
    So, who am I paired with?
[03:36] Akira
    Oh, we have the same card!
[03:38] Akira
    Hi there, partner.
[03:40] Shiki
    Oh... I'm Koshiyama,
    first-year at Buzou High School.
[03:43] Akira
    I know.
[03:45] Mari
    Hey, isn't that...
[03:47] Inoue
    It's the kid we ran into by
    the vending machine at lunch.
[03:50] Akira
    I'm Sonohara. I'm a third-year
    at Sekigawata Middle School.
[03:53] Akira
    I'm new to our club.
[03:56] Shiki
    Wait, are you...
[03:59] Akira
    Man, he figured it out already?
[04:01] Shiki
    ...the Asagaoka club president's
    younger brother? Sonohara, right?
[04:05] Akira
    Oh, that's what he meant?
[04:07] Akira
    That's right. I'm her brother, Akira.
[04:10] Kenmochi
    He's adorable!
[04:12] Kogawa
    President Sonohara's
    younger brother, he said!
[04:15] Mikuriya
    I've seen Koshiyama's partner
    somewhere before...
[04:19] Chiaki
    The last group has been decided.
[04:21] Yuki
    Coincidentally, all the middle
     schoolers are in this one!
[04:24] Chiaki
    We will now begin.
[04:30] Kujou
    Question.
[04:31] Kujou
    In America, major league
    baseball is comprised of—
[04:36] Mukai
    The little squirts are fast!
[04:38] Chiaki
    The winners of the right to answer are
    Ohara-kun, Kaijou Middle School first-year,
[04:41] Chiaki
    and Sekigawata Middle School
    first-year, Sasaki-kun.
[04:44] Ohara
    American League.
[04:45] Chiaki
    Correct.
[04:46] Sasaki
    National League.
[04:48] Chiaki
    Correct.
SIGN    Q: In America, major league baseball is comprised of
    two leagues: what and what? A. American, National
[04:49] Mouri
    They were in elementary school
    until just a few months ago!
[04:52] Shiki
    I know how fast Sasaki-kun is on the buzzer.
[04:54] Shiki
    And a middle schooler from
    Kaijou beat him to the punch...
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Mouri x Ohara
SIGN    Sonohara x Koshiyama
SIGN    Sasaki x Ima
SIGN    Mukai x Yasuura
[04:57] Shiki
    Good thing those two aren't a pair.
[05:00] Akira
    So...
[05:01] Akira
    The first pair to get five
    "Right" marks wins, right?
[05:04] Shiki
    Right. And if we answer correctly
    as a pair, we get three "Rights."
[05:08] Shiki
    But we can only answer
    wrong once, so be careful.
[05:11] Mukai
    It's too early to take risks, isn't it?
[05:14] Shiki
    What to do? What should I do?
[05:18] Shiki
    If I try to buzz at the determining point,
[05:20] Shiki
    I think it'll be too late.
[05:23] Shiki
    I need to be...
[05:25] Shiki
    faster!
[05:27] Kujou
    Question.
[05:28] Kujou
    A classic string quartet uses four inst—
[05:33] Chiaki
    Koshiyama-kun of Buzou has
    won the right to answer first.
[05:36] Shiki
    The category is music...
[05:37] Chiaki
    Second is Mukai-kun of Miyaura.
[05:40] Mukai
    I buzzed reflexively
    because Koshiyama did!
[05:43] Shiki
    The string instruments used
    in a string quartet...
[05:47] Mari
    Four to choose from...
[05:49] Shiki
    If the question is really
    that straightforward...
[05:52] Mikuriya
    Which two are the answers?
[05:54] Shiki
    There are four, but the question is easy.
[05:58] Shiki
    The instruments in a string quartet
[06:00] Shiki
    are the first violin, second
    violin, cello, and viola.
[06:04] Shiki
    What sticks out is that two of
    them are the same instrument.
[06:07] Shiki
    No matter how I look at it,
    the question has to be,
[06:11] Shiki
    "a classic string quartet uses four
    instruments: two violins plus what and what?"
[06:16] Shiki
    Mukai-kun buzzed second.
[06:20] Chiaki
    Three, two...
[06:22] Shiki
    Which means the answer I should give...
[06:25] Shiki
    is this one!
[06:27] Shiki
    Cello.
[06:27] Mikuriya
    Just listen to that confidence.
[06:32] Chiaki
    Correct.
[06:34] Chiaki
    Mukai-kun, the other answer, please.
[06:37] Mukai
    O-Okay... Violin!
[06:40] Mukai
    That was all I could think of!
SIGN    Q: A classic string quartet uses four instruments:
    first violin, second violin, what, and what? A: Cello, viola
[06:42] Chiaki
    Sorry. The second answer was "viola."
[06:45] Shiki
    Sorry, I left the harder answer for you.
[06:49] Chiaki
    The Koshiyama x Sonohara pairing
    earns one "Right" mark,
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Mouri x Ohara
SIGN    Sonohara x
    Koshiyama
SIGN    Sasaki x Ima
SIGN    Mukai x Yasuura
[06:52] Chiaki
    and the Yasuura x Mukai pairing
    now has one "Wrong" mark.
[06:55] Shibata
    That first-year from Buzou is pretty good.
[06:57] Ohkura
    Sasajima must be training him well.
[07:00] Konoe
    Nah, I bet that answer
    was just a wild guess.
[07:02] Akira
    Wow! I can't believe you
    figured it out from just that!
[07:06] Shiki
    Yeah...
[07:07] Shiki
    But there was really no way to be absolutely
    sure until the two violins were read.
[07:12] Shiki
    I wanted the right to answer,
[07:13] Shiki
    so I got a bit hasty and buzzed
    before the determining point,
[07:16] Shiki
    but I'm glad I still got it right.
[07:18] Akira
    Hm... Determining point, huh?
[07:22] Akira
    Okay, then, next time...
[07:24] Akira
    I'll buzz in.
[07:26] Shiki
    Huh?
[07:27] Kujou
    Question.
[07:29] Kujou
    In th—
[07:36] Akira
    It lit up!
[07:39] Mikuriya
    Finger slipped? No...
[07:41] Ashiya
    He took a dive on purpose.
[07:45] Shiki
    Hey, that's right! She'll keep
    reading the question!
[07:48] Kujou
    In the name of the wireless LAN
    technology, "Wi-Fi," the "Wi" and—
[07:51] Chiaki
    Th-The right to answer first goes
    to Sonohara-kun of Sekigawata.
[07:54] Yuki
    Second is Sasaki-kun of Sekigawata.
[07:57] Shiki
    Everyone was so distracted
    by Akira-kun's buzz,
[07:59] Shiki
    it slowed down our reactions
    to buzz in second.
[08:01] Akira
    Let's see... What was the question again?
[08:04] Akira
    Oh, Wi-Fi, right?
[08:06] Shiki
    Why is he waiting until now to think?
[08:06] Akira
    The "Wi" is...
[08:08] Akira
    Wireless.
[08:09] Chiaki
    Correct.
[08:10] Shiki
    O-Of course!
[08:11] Chiaki
    The second answer, Sasaki-kun, please.
[08:14] Sasaki
    Fidelity.
SIGN    Q: In the name of the wireless LAN technology, "Wi-Fi," the
    "Wi" and "Fi" stand for what and what? A: Wireless, Fidelity
[08:15] Chiaki
    Correct.
[08:16] Jinko
    Can people really answer questions
    just by hearin' one word?
[08:21] Inoue
    I don't think one word is enough for
    anyone to determine the answer.
[08:24] Inoue
    Is it like Mikuriya with "Why climb"?
[08:26] Mari
    I don't think so.
[08:28] Gakuto
    He buzzed in early,
[08:30] Gakuto
    but he was still able to hear the question
    until it reached a determining point.
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Mouri x Ohara
SIGN    Sonohara x Koshiyama
SIGN    Sasaki x Kon
SIGN    Mukai x Yasuura
[08:34] Gakuto
    He found the flaw in the
    rule set of this round.
[08:37] Shiki
    But even if you know the answers, it's
    not easy to do something that risky.
[08:41] Shiki
    Akira-kun...
[08:43] Shiki
    You knew you'd hear more of the
    question until the second buzz.
[08:45] Shiki
    That's why you buzzed, right?
[08:47] Shiki
    Because you knew no one would
    buzz before that point.
[08:49] Mukai
    S-Seriously?
[08:51] Mouri
    That little brat!
[08:53] Akira
    That's right.
[08:55] Akira
    I never could've guessed it
    from just that one word.
[08:58] Akira
    No one else is going to buzz before
    that "point" thing comes along, right?
[09:02] Akira
    So it'll work out the same way
    whenever the first person buzzes in.
[09:06] Akira
    We get to hear more of the question until
    someone else buzzes in second, anyway.
[09:11] Akiri
    Besides, there haven't been any questions yet
    in this round where both answers were hard.
[09:16] Shiki
    He's right.
[09:17] Shiki
    Since we only have to
    get one of two answers,
[09:19] Shiki
    all the questions so far
    have been relatively easy.
[09:23] Shiki
    He calculated all this?
[09:25] Akira
    Super successful, wouldn't you say?
[09:28] Maruyama
    So no matter when the first person
    buzzes, it ends up the same?
[09:31] Maruyama
    I didn't realize the
    rules had that loophole.
[09:33] Mikuriya
    Don't be fooled, idiot.
[09:35] Maruyama
    What?
[09:35] Mikuriya
    It was a dick move that
    only works the first time.
[09:39] Ashiya
    You and Inoue-kun took a
    dive and guessed wrong.
[09:42] Ashiya
    Mukai's finger slipped when Koshiyama-kun
    buzzed early, and he guessed wrong, too.
[09:46] Ashiya
    They all tried to estimate when the others
    would be more cautious about buzzing,
[09:50] Ashiya
    taking advantage of a
    psychological weakness.
[09:52] Maruyama
    Yuck...
[09:52] Mikuriya
    That won't work a second time.
[09:56] Kujou
    Question.
[09:57] Kujou
    A—
[09:59] Yuki
    Did the Ohara x Mouri pairing
    buzz in accidentally?
[10:02] Mouri
    Why'd you buzz in?!
[10:03] Ohara
    Why did you?!
[10:04] Chiaki
    Since both are unable to answer, they get
    two "Wrong" marks and are disqualified.
[10:08] Akira
    Yes, I love it! What a blast!
[10:10] Shiki
    Uh, Akira-kun...
[10:12] Akira
    You've gotta be adventurous
    or it's no fun, right?
[10:15] Akira
    It's a game, after all.
[10:19] Guy
    What's with that kid?
[10:20] Guy
    He's creeping me out.
[10:23] Yuki
    President Sonohara?
[10:24] Chiaki
    Please do not talk among yourselves.
[10:26] Chiaki
    Continuing to do so will lead
    to instant disqualification.
[10:29] Akira
    Aw...
[10:32] Akira
    Okay. Sorry.
[10:34] Yuki
    Um, as for the current scores...
[10:37] Yuki
    The remaining Sonohara x Koshiyama
    pairing and Sasaki x Kon pairing are tied.
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Mouri x Ohara | Sonohara x Koshiyama | Sasaki x Kon | Mukai x Yasuura
[10:42] Yuki
    The Yasuura x Mukai pair has one "Wrong"
    mark, putting them in a tight spot.
[10:46] Jinko
    So if they answer right as a pair...
[10:48] Inoue
    They get three "Right" marks.
[10:49] Jinko
    So if Shiki-kun and his partner answer
    right as a pair, they can win?
[10:53] Inoue
    Right, but I have a bad feeling
    about where this is going...
[11:00] Sasaki
    Get it together! Just do
    this like I always do!
[11:03] Sasaki
    I won't lose to a senior who
    treats this like a joke!
[11:06] Mukai
    I have to focus!
[11:09] Kujou
    Question.
[11:10] Kujou
    The Roman god of erotic
    love, Cupid, had two—
[11:13] Sasaki
    Yes!
[11:13] Mukai
    That's a classic!
[11:14] Shiki
    I was too slow!
[11:16] Sasaki
    Golden arrows!
[11:17] Chiaki
    Correct.
[11:18] Mukai
    Lead arrows!
SIGN    Q: The Roman god of erotic love, Cupid, had two types
    of arrows: what and what? A: Golden arrows, lead arrows
[11:19] Chiaki
    Correct.
[11:21] Kujou
    Question.
[11:22] Kujou
    The Russian author Turgenev said
    humanity could be divided into two—
[11:26] Shiki
    I'm first!
[11:27] Sasaki
    Don't rush.
[11:28] Shiki
    Hamlet types!
[11:30] Chiaki
    Correct.

    Don Quixote types!
SIGN    Q: The Russian author Turgenev said humanity could be divided into two

[11:35] Chiaki
    Will the next question decide the contest?
[11:37] Sasaki
    I got this!
[11:39] Shiki
    Even if I win the right to answer,
SIGN    Sonohara x
    Koshiyama
SIGN    Sasaki x Kon
[11:41] Shiki
    Sasaki-kun will most likely
    be the other one to buzz in.
[11:45] Shiki
    I can't stop him by myself.
[11:47] Shiki
    Mukai-kun's pairing has one "Wrong"
    mark, so they'll play it safe.
[11:51] Shiki
    They can't beat Sasaki-kun for speed.
[11:55] Akira
    I sure would like to answer
    one more question.
[11:58] Shiki
    I shouldn't expect much help from him...
[12:01] Akira
    Hey, Koshiyama-kun.
[12:04] Akira
    Push my button, too.
[12:07] Shiki
    Wh-What?! I can't do that!
[12:11] Akira
    Sure you can.
[12:12] Akira
    See?
[12:15] Akira
    Like this.
SIGN    Sasajima
[12:29] Akira
    You can push both like this, right?
[12:32] Jinko
    Oh, boy.
[12:33] Inoue
    What's he doing?
[12:34] Inoue
    Is that allowed?!
[12:37] Kogawa
    Now that's what I call a BL buzz-in!
[12:39] Kenmochi
    Senpai.
[12:40] Akira
    I don't know which one will light up first,
[12:43] Akira
    but if it works, you can
    be both first and second!
[12:46] Shiki
    N-No... I want to do this properly...
[12:50] Akira
    Yeah, but if he buzzes in, we lose, right?
[12:54] Akira
    Let's get the next one right
    as a pair so we can win!
[12:59] Yuki
    Are they allowed to buzz that way?
[13:02] Akira
    What? Were there any rules in
    the program about how you can
[13:07] Akira
    and can't push the button?
[13:10] Akira
    I'm still holding my own buzzer, too.
[13:13] Akira
    It's not against any rules, is it?
[13:14] Akira
    Do you really think you'll win the
    right to answer by buzzing that way?
[13:19] Ashiya
    Niina, who is that kid?
[13:22] Ashiya
    Since when was he on the quiz team?
[13:25] Niina
    He suddenly showed up about two weeks ago.

    I'm Sonohara, and I'm a

    I want to try quiz bowl, too.
[13:37] (Flashback) Niina
    Everyone's welcome to join this club.
[13:40] (Flashback) Niina
    Want to try it out?
[13:41] (Flashback) Akira
    All right! Thank you!
[13:45] Niina
    But exams started right after
    that, and the club took a break,
[13:50] Niina
    so I honestly didn't have time
    to figure out what he was like.
[13:55] Kenmochi
    Are President Sonohara and
    her brother on bad terms?
[13:58] Kogawa
    He's being really provocative.
[14:00] Chiaki
    It's not as if we don't get along.
[14:03] Chiaki
    To Akira, this is just a game.
[14:06] Chiaki
    A mean-spirited game he plays only
    to rile others up and toy with them.
[14:11] Akira
    If you don't do it, we'll
    lose. That okay with you?
[14:14] Shiki
    But...
[14:15] Akira
    If anyone can do it, it's you.
[14:18] Chiaki
    I thought getting into quiz bowl and
    making friends might change him a bit,
[14:22] Chiaki
    but I guess that'd be too easy.
[14:24] Yuki
    What should we do?
[14:26] Chiaki
    Very well. Continue with the question.
[14:29] Kujou
    R-Right...
[14:31] Shiki
    I-I don't want to do it like this, but...
[14:34] Shiki
    I don't want to lose at this point, either!

    I have to win and face
    Mikuriya-kun in Round 3!

    They really lit up both of 'em!
[15:12] Inoue
    By doing it that way?!

    What'll be important is whether his
    first answer is correct or not.

    First, Sonohara-kun.
[15:21] Akira
    Let's see... Kanji with a stroke count of...
[15:24] Akira
    One?
[15:26] Chiaki
    Correct.
[15:27] Akira
    Oh, that was right?
[15:28] Shiki
    Wasn't he just reciting
    the rest of the question?
[15:32] Chiaki
    The second answer, Koshiyama-kun, please.
[15:36] Shiki
    Commonly used kanji with only one stroke...
[15:39] Shiki
    The one-stroke kanji are "ichi" and...
[15:43] Shiki
    "Otsu."
[15:44] Chiaki
    Correct.
SIGN    Q: The commonly used kanji with a stroke
    count of one are what and what? A: Ichi, otsu
[15:47] Yuki
    Answering correctly as a pairing
    gives them three "Right" marks.

[15:49] Yuki
    The Koshiyama x Sonohara pair
    will advance to round 3.
[15:53] Akira
    Yay!
[15:55] Akira
    Isn't quiz bowl fun, Koshiyama?
SIGN    No honorific...
[15:58] Shiki
    "Koshiyama?" I'm older than you...
[16:02] Shiki
    Yeah...
[16:06] Akira
    What's with that expression? They lost
    because they weren't good enough.
[16:09] Mukai
    Hey! It's not like your
    pair won because of you!
[16:12] Mukai
    It was Koshiyama—
[16:13] Akira
    What are you talking about?
    It was my strategy that won it.
[16:17] Shiki
    He's right. If it wasn't for that idea...
[16:20] (Flashback) Akira
    I'll buzz in.
[16:22] (Flashback) Kujou
    Question.
[16:24] (Flashback) Kujou
    In th—
[16:26] (Flashback) Akira
    See? Like this.
[16:30] (Flashback) Akira
    I'm new to our club.
[16:33] Shiki
    Thinking of him as a beginner in quiz
    bowl, just like me, was careless.
[16:39] Shiki
    He looks like he's joking around,
    but his speed of thought...
[16:46] Yuki
    We will now take a twenty-minute break.
[16:49] Inoue
    That cringe-worthy behavior
    reminds me of someone...
[16:52] Mikuriya
    Why are you right there?!
[16:54] Inoue
    Something about the way it seems
    like he's mocking people...
[16:56] Ashiya
    I thought he looked familiar, too.
[16:59] Mikuriya
    Actually... I do, too.
[17:02] Mikuriya
    Could he be...
[17:06] Akira
    I'm so excited for Round 3.
[17:09] Akira
    Aren't you, Lieutenant Colonel Chisato?
[17:19] Jinko
    Nice goin', Shiki-kun!
[17:20] Mari
    Congratulations, Koshiyama-kun!
[17:22] Shiki
    Thanks.
[17:23] Gakuto
    You ended up being saved by your partner,
[17:26] Gakuto
    but you did well to advance to Round 3.
[17:28] Gakuto
    Let's go over the Round 3 rules
    during the twenty-minute break.
[17:33] Shiki
    Okay.
[17:34] Niina
    Sonohara.
[17:36] Akira
    I did it, President Niina!
[17:38] Akira
    I'm the only one from Sekigawata
    to advance to Round 3!
[17:43] Akira
    I'll do my best!
[17:45] Niina
    There's something I need to say to you,
    as Sekigawata's quiz club president.
[17:50] Akira
    What is it?
[17:53] Niina
    Even if it wasn't against the rules,
[17:55] Niina
    I can't let someone who rode roughshod
    over etiquette participate in Round 3.
[18:03] Niina
    You can go home now.
[18:16] Akira
    Go home? That's harsh.
[18:19] Akira
    I didn't know anything
    about quiz bowl etiquette.
[18:22] Niina
    This concerns more than just quiz bowl.
[18:24] Niina
    What gives you the right to take that
    attitude toward the other participants?
[18:27] Niina
    If you're just in it for
    kicks, take it elsewhere.
[18:30] Niina
    You're ruining it for everyone else.
[18:31] Nakazawa
    Hey, Niina...
[18:32] Sasaki
    I've never seen President Niina like this.
[18:35] Kon
    Despite appearances, he fits
    the role of club president.
[18:45] Akira
    I'm sorry... I wasn't in it just for kicks.
[18:51] Akira
    When I'm having fun,
    I just get so wound up...
[19:01] Nakazawa
    Oh, now he's crying...
[19:02] Kon
    You made him cry.
[19:03] Niina
    Huh? Who... me?
[19:05] Akira
    I just wanted to be in quiz
    bowl with everyone...
[19:08] Niina
    Hey, come on... You're a middle
    school third-year! Quit crying!
[19:12] Akira
    I just wanted to do quiz bowl...
[19:14] Niina
    Well, then, can you show
    some manners next time?
[19:17] Akira
    I can!
[19:20] Niina
    You'd better promise.
[19:23] Ashiya
    Niina...
[19:27] Akira
    Tee-hee.
[19:31] Sasaki
    Y-You can't let him trick you like that!
[19:39] Shiki
    This is a circus!
[19:43] Inoue
    Koshiyama! Koshiyama!
[19:45] Inoue
    Over here.
[19:47] Shiki
    Huh? Inoue, why're you over there?
[19:49] Inoue
    We figured out who that kid is!
[19:52] Shiki
    Who he is?
[19:54] Shiki
    What?! Akira-kun's the girl who
    interrupted us in the arcade in Akiba?!
[20:02] Inoue
    It's definitely him!
[20:04] Inoue
    He actually called Mikuriya
    "Lieutenant Colonel Chisato"!
[20:06] Mikuriya
    I'll crush him.
[20:08] Shiki
    H-Huh?
[20:12] Maruyama
    What's this about Akiba and an arcade?
[20:14] Mukai
    And what's "Lieutenant
    Colonel Chisato" about?
[20:16] Shiki
    Does that mean...
[20:18] Shiki
    Akira-kun's a girl?!
[20:21] Ashiya
    Uh, no. Calm down, Koshiyama-kun.
[20:24] Ashiya
    Still, between the provocative
    attitude and the tricky tactics,
[20:29] Ashiya
    she—I mean, he definitely
    sees this as just a game.
[20:39] (Flashback) Akira
    Hey...
[20:40] (Flashback) Akira
    Are you guys...
[20:44] (Flashback) Akira
    actual quiz freaks?
[20:46] (Flashback) Akira
    You take quiz bowl seriously, right?
[20:50] Shiki
    Then...
[20:54] Shiki
    All the more reason we can't lose to him!
[22:30] Master
    It's time for the high school
    quiz bowl championships!

    I'm sure there'll be some questions
    that even we can answer!
[22:46] Gakuto
    Indeed. Let's watch it together for study!
