03x09 - Extreme Justice Is Extreme Injustice.

[bunniefuu]

"supreme law, supreme injustice."

Marcus Tullius Cicero, De officiis

What will happen from now on?

This supplementary exam was undoubtedly

designed to get you expelled.

It would be uninteresting
to settle our matter in such a way.

Therefore, I have decided
to use every praise vote from Class A

to protect you.

In that case, why Yamauchi?

Do you remember how rude he was to me
at the training camp?

It was retribution for that.

Hello.

I will now act as the chairman
of the board of this school.

My name is Tsukishiro.

Butterflies have yet to become birds

Flapping its shredded wings

It waits for the right moment
To stick out its tongue

Welcome, to the world of bargains

Clouds drift by
Clothed in the will to fight

Amongst the scattered symbols are anagrams

Between suspicion and affection

Who is in control?

With the declaration of w*r
Battle lines shift

An inscrutable stratagem

A gambol of calm and cowardice
An overture to fractures

A white puppet show

Looping the sense of void
The all-rounder stifled

Did you think you'd be
An opportune b*llet?

Well-ex*cuted wit, often lonesome

Victory or defeat, 'tis the meritocracy

Should the extremely incompetent man try

His fate shall change

Overturning numbers and common sense

Let's go to where the light is

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Dance, minor piece

Zugzwang Ra-ta-ta-ta

With this hand

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

In black and white vision
Forward we advance

Tsukishiro?

This is my first time at this school.

Do you know where the staff room is?

I must say, our new acting director
must be quite directionally challenged.

I thought you spotted us
on the surveillance cameras

and came here to check on us.

That's an interesting thing to say.

If you are looking for the staff room,

you are in the wrong...

You're not as good as the rumors say,

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

You've gone and done something
quite contemptible.

I was sure you were given orders
to have him expelled, right?

Since school officials
can't blatantly expel a student,

I suppose it's understandable that they
would want to rely on someone like me.

Don't you think there might be a problem

with the acting director
getting violent with students?

There's no need to worry.

The surveillance cameras have been
changed to show dummy footage.

I have a message from your father.

"I have no intention of playing
these childish games anymore."

"Come home at once."

That's what he said.

If it's "yes," blink twice.

So, you have no intention
of leaving this school voluntarily, huh?

I will officially
start working at this school in April.

I hope you're looking forward to it.

You made a wise choice not to fight back.

That's because I don't know
how he will use the footage.

More importantly, Sakayanagi.

Let's officially have our contest
for the next exam.

I never thought
you'd say that directly to me.

If that man is going to be involved
come April,

I'd like to make things explicitly clear
and end our matter before that.

Yes.

I will happily be your opponent.

I will now explain the details of the
final special exam for your first year.

This time, it is an "Event Selection Exam"
that competes on your overall performance.

Just like the Paper Shuffle,

the classes will face off
against each other.

First, you are free to choose ten events,
whatever you like.

If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me, Ike.

Huh?

But...

You get angry if I talk too much
while you're explaining.

I won't be at ease until you go ahead
and get your interruption over with.

Then... Can I choose rock-paper-scissors
as an event?

That's impossible.

Yes, you can play rock-paper-scissors.

Really?

Of course.

The point to note when selecting events

is that the same event
cannot be registered again.

Events that are difficult to implement
due to equipment, season,

or number of participants
are also not allowed.

The same applies to events
that are too minor.

In the academic field,
the school will prepare the questions.

JAPANESE
ENGLISH - CHEMISTRY

Rules can be set freely,

but those that result in a draw
will not be permitted.

The same applies to the class match-ups,
with ten events to be submitted.

The total will be 20.

Are we going to do those 20 events?

That's too many!

No.

Each class will choose five
out of ten events on the day of the test.

Which means the other five events
are bluffs?

That's right.

The actual exam has seven events.

After each round,
the school will randomly select an event.

There is no disclosure
of what the next event will be,

and once a student has competed,

they cannot compete again
until all students have competed.

I'm getting confused.

That means...

We will propose the events to each other.

So, in the end, there will be
seven events to compete in.

I see.

And the most important rule in this exam
is the existence of a Commander.

The student who becomes a Commander
cannot compete in each event,

but instead,
they can intervene in any event

and get bonus points for winning.

And what if it results
in the class losing?

The Commander
will be immediately expelled.

What?

Again?

After school, we'll have the Commanders
draw lots to determine their opponents.

You can choose whoever you want.

Please discuss this seriously.

FINAL SPECIAL EXAM
OVERVIEW AND COUNTERMEASURES MEETING

What's wrong with Koenji?

That b*stard!
He's acting on his own again!

It's a waste of time to get frustrated.

Hey, where did Hirata go?

I don't know. He should know
we're staying for a meeting after school.

Since Hirata is useless now,
I guess I'll have to do it myself.

I... I'm going to the restroom!

I'll be right back!

Hey!

I want to make sure of one thing
before we begin our discussion.

What is it?

A lot of people aren't satisfied
with the results of the last exam.

Isn't that right, Kanji?

I don't know if I'm satisfied or not.
It's just that I don't understand.

Why did Ayanokoji get
the most praise votes in the first place?

About that, I'll explain what happened.

I've been thinking about it.

Wait!

We want to hear an explanation
from Ayanokoji himself.

We lost a buddy, you know.

I'm sorry.

I don't know either.

There's no way you didn't know about it!

I don't think Ayanokoji can answer that.

It's probably none of his business.

None of his business?

What do you mean?

Do you remember what Yamauchi said?

Oh, yeah! Sakayanagi!

You should ask Sakayanagi!
She said she'd gather votes for me.

Can you really let this betrayal slide?

She betrayed Yamauchi
by making a secret agreement with him

and instigating him to destroy Ayanokoji.

Still, why Ayanokoji?

It could have been anyone
who'd neither do harm nor good,

and have no problem
getting the protection point.

But that's your guess, right?

Yes, I'm just guessing.

Huh?

But...

If anyone is to blame,
it should be me, not Ayanokoji.

I was the biggest cause
of Yamauchi's expulsion.

That's...

May I volunteer myself

to be the Commander for this special exam?

It's true that I've made the class
feel suspicious of me.

That's why I want to dispel those doubts

by offering to sacrifice myself
in this exam.

Ayanokoji...

That's a great idea!
This way, no one will get expelled!

Hey, wait a minute.

Doesn't that mean he's going
to throw the game away from the start?

Are we going to fight against the other
classes under Ayanokoji's command?

Wouldn't it be better to see
if anyone else wants to volunteer?

Huh?

I don't think anyone here would like
to take the risk of being expelled.

Including myself.

You may be right.

Then he's the right person since
he has the protection point, isn't he?

Even though he's a Commander,

we can make plans for everything
ahead of time.

It won't make much difference who does it.

It seems Horikita wanted to foist
the role of Commander on me all along.

And I don't think anyone
wants to argue with that right now.

Any other objections?

Then, Ayanokoji,

would you please go
to draw lots right away?

I understand.

As I expected,

they were all students from each class
who had protection points.

Now, starting with Class A, we're going
to have you each draw one slip of paper.

The class that draws the marked paper

will be given the right
to choose their opponent.

They say good things come
to those who wait.

I don't mind going last.

You may go ahead, Ichinose.

Well, then, don't mind if I do.

ADVANCED NURTURING HIGH SCHOOL

Too bad.

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AN OPPONENT

It seems I got the jackpot.

It seems I don't need to check the
last slip of paper, right, Mr. Mashima?

That's right.

Well, then, Kaneda,

let's hear which class
you'd like to fight against.

Class D wishes to go up against Class B.

Let's do our best.
No need to hold back, okay?

I thought for certain
you'd go for Class C.

If we're to turn our situation around,

we'll need to take points away
from the higher classes.

That being said, we'd like to avoid
fighting Class A right now.

I see.

I wish you the best of luck.

This result is natural.

I had already made arrangements

with Ichinose and Ishizaki before.

DAICHI ISHIZAKI

That is to let us handle Class A.

That's all for today.

-Yeah! Done!
-Can we manage it by discussing it?

-Can I just go home?
-So, our opponent is Class A, right?

Hirata!

We're having a discussion now.

Will you please leave me alone already?

-But...
-You're bothering me!

That's... I...

I'm just worried about you, Hirata.

There's no reason
for you to worry about me.

Hey, Yosuke!

Don't you think what you're saying
has gone too far?

Could you please not call me
by my first name?

You and I have nothing to do
with each other anymore.

Then, Hirata, you're being
way too harsh on Mii.

It's not different from how
you usually treat everyone.

I was doing it for the class!

Could you please be quiet already?

If you don't...

You understand, right?

Wait, Hirata!

There's nothing we can do
about Hirata right now.

Let's concentrate
on the discussion at hand.

Anyway, Koenji, it seems you stayed today.

Well, Horikita strongly urged me to stay.

However,

I hope we can finish our discussion
in this one meeting.

I'm very busy, you know.

Then I'll be brief.

Each of you, if you have an event
where you can secure a win,

please submit it before the next event.

I see.

So once we participate in the discussion,
we're expected to complete the task?

You have at least one event
where victory is certain, right?

Or perhaps you want
to bring distrust to the class?

Don't think that you can handle me
with such words.

I am indeed a genius second to none,

but it is up to me to decide

whether or not
I will use my talent for you.

Genius second to none, my a*s!

I'll talk to Koenji later.

For now, let's wait and see.

Hey.

It's very unusual
for you to invite me to your room.

If someone sees us...

Wouldn't you be in trouble?

There's no need for us
to be careful anymore.

Don't you think our relationship
is slowly going to become public?

Is that not a problem for you?

Not a problem at all.

There's also Hirata.
I want to know about the class intel.

Is that something
you have to talk about in person?

Some things are easier to understand
when you talk in person.

Before that...

It's your birthday today, isn't it?

So, you knew.

Can I see what's inside?

Yeah.

Woah!

A necklace?

I mean, it's heart-shaped!

Did you mean to gift this to a friend?

Wasn't this expensive?

It wasn't cheap.

About 20,000 or so.

So expensive!

It was written "The number one gift
for high school girls" on a shopping site,

so I chose it.

Even though you're smart,
you're also dumb about some things.

Is that so?

Accessories are something that girls
would want to pick out for themselves.

To be frank,

this gets a rating
of 10 points out of 100.

So you would prefer a box of sweets?

That'd bump your score up to 15 points.

-Do you have a mirror?
-Do you think I have one?

As I thought,

the heart-shaped necklace
is a bit childish.

If you don't like it, just leave it here.

But since I'm pretty,

I can make anything look good.

I'll accept it, just this once.

If so, that's fine with me.

You're coming early.

I have some business
to attend to at the library.

I see.

How's your special exam going?

Your sister's been putting up
a good fight.

I see.

I've been wanting to ask you something
for a long time.

Why did you abuse her

and try to kick her out

on the first day I met you?

I was disappointed in Suzune.

Not for her grades,
but for her character growth.

Character growth?

She was the kind of child
who smiled a lot.

But now, Suzune is dependent on me
and tries to imitate me.

So you're saying she's pretending to be
a cool person because of your influence?

It's not just her attitude,
but also her taste in food, drink,

favorite colors and clothes.

She's really gotten closer to my taste.

That's not growing up.

So you, who seemed completely flawless,

have failed to set up
proper communication with your sister.

No one is perfect.

Am I wrong?

That's right.

But...

now she is trying to change.

If Suzune could stop
chasing after my illusions,

break her dependence on me

and confront herself honestly,

she would probably surpass me
and become someone you can't even ignore.

That is only if she can make
the change herself, though.

She will change.

No, let me rephrase that.

I'm going to try to change her.

Not just like I've been doing so far,
but taking this seriously.

Oh? I never thought
you'd say something like that.

Can I ask you just one more thing?

What is it?

You...

Are you perhaps dating Tachibana?

What?

No, that's not true.

I see.

But still,

I never thought I'd hear a normal
high schooler question like that from you.

I'm a high school student
who fits in best with the norm.

Then, as a normal high schooler,
have you gotten yourself a girlfriend?

No, not at all.

I feel like I could rest easy
if I left Suzune to you.

But I can't really see that
happening at all.

Isn't that obvious?

That's not good!

You just jinxed it
to make sure it happens!

Jinx?

It's like a law that works in reverse.

It's not uncommon
for two people who thought

they'd never end up getting together
to actually get together!

No... It's nothing.

Too many tests!

CHESS - MENTAL MATH - GO - JAPANESE
ENGLISH - JUMP ROPE - DODGEBALL

It's Class A, after all.

These are the events
that Class A has submitted.

Isn't it going to be tough
to cover all of these events?

Yes, it is.
It should be the same for Class A.

Now it's just a matter of narrowing down
which one event is the real deal.

Is there anyone in our class
who has experience playing chess?

Chess.

"In chess,

the Commander can use the time
to give orders to the players."

So, in other words,

a battle between Commanders...

is possible.

Everybody, up and down

A ready consent for the bad end girl

Hey, yo, hey, yo
Truth is stranger than fiction

So calculatingly mediocre
This contrived idealism

Move forward and overturn the singularity

ABCD determines the winner and loser

Circumstances decided by rank

Meaning of life, feeling a bit suffocated

Inferiority births itself
From the difference in character

Can we not help it?
Can you not? Can I not?

Is it the limits of our DNA value?

The correct answer is unequal
All right

You have to screw it up to proceed

Such a romantic plot development
OMG

Will never so conveniently occur

It's eat or be eaten in this reality

The overwhelming great principle

I've noticed it all along

The correct answer is unequal
All right

Nothing changes when you give up

Get used to the unfair development
OMG

And you might win this time

It's eat or be eaten in this reality

The overwhelming principle

What I have been chasing after so long

The great revolution of this era!
