01x07 - The A-B Battle

[bunniefuu]

I'm so lonely.

My poor Master K.

You're suffering from loneliness again.

I wonder what he's doing right now,
controlling the Ghost Fire.

I'm sure we'll meet again.

But there are some eyesores around him...

I'm so lonely.

What's there to be lonely about?

Talented people are gathering
to realize their ideals.

It's almost time for
the ideal to take shape.

Let's realize our "land
of Ghost Accounts."

Kasubata, don't get the wrong idea...

He's bouncing with his abs.

It's a shrimp.

I'm as good as him when it comes to abs.

Wear your clothes properly.

Minoru, I'm sorry.

I couldn't hold it in.

Man, the enflaming type

Kasubata, it seems you and I have
both suffered a lot.

I agree. Those enflaming jerks
are basically sh*t.

But our classmates
are at least decent sh*t. My apologies.

The title is "Enflamers Showdown".

Don't talk to me so
casually, Landmind girl.

Still sucking up to men for a living,
as usual?

Oh, you haven't changed at all.

Your fashion sense is still as unpopular
with men as ever.

How tacky.

Ghost Flames, Enflame!

If you get hit by that,
it won't end with just a broken bone.

That anger is solely mine...

Cyber Out.

Flames of Loathing!

This guy didn't use his phone...

It's hot! It's real fire!

What are you afraid of?
Burn your anger even brighter, Enishiro!

By the way, let me tell you
about last semester's Interclass Battle.

Our class won by a landslide.

And the reason is simple.

It's the difference in our abilities.

You peeping smiley-faced b*stard!

You coward!

You little puppet!

Who are you talking about? Say it again!

And that old-fashioned homeroom teacher!

A trash class made up
of nothing but losers!

Just how little do you...

care about other people's feelings?

Don't you dare defile Akari's memories!

Don't look down on Class 1-B!

He grabbed my flame with his bare hands!

Amazing!

That's enough!

Enishiro!

And everyone in Class 1-B!

I apologize for Surugi's rudeness
just now.

But I have something to tell you too.

You guys...

are poop.

What?

What's with the attitude
right after you apologized?

You're not just vulgar, you're stupid too?

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'm not saying this because you're weak.

Unlike Dei, I don't discriminate
against people for reasons like that.

This guy doesn't listen at all.

It's because you accepted
the Ghost Fire user,

that Class 1-B is tainted.

At the end of the month,

Class 1-A will win
the Interclass Battle again.

We will never lose to a class like yours.

You've got it wrong, Wagari.

We'll lose because of him?

Class 1-B will win next time
because of him.

Enishiro.

I've got my eye on you.

Let's save our frustrations
for the actual match.

Let's settle it in the Interclass Battle.

Seriously.

I told you not to overdo it.

You youngsters get too many injuries.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for the treatment.

Hey.

Good work.

Mr. Azaki.

Where's everyone else?

They're getting ready
for the battle two weeks from now.

All right, I can't fall behind either.

Mr. Azaki.

Yes?

There's something I'd like to ask you.

The second semester's Interclass Battle
is finally about to begin.

Last semester, Class 1-B was crushed.

Back then, Kasubata was
the only one who fought alone.

Class 1-B's biggest defeat was due to
ineffective defensive cyberkinesis.

After Soji Enishiro joined,

was it a blessing or a curse...?

I'm so hyped!

Let's talk about love.

My heart is set on Kureha.

I'm getting carsick.

Let's have some tea. Tea is good.

The Interclass Battle is coming up.
How can you be so carefree?

Isn't there someone here who's terrified?

It's normal to be scared
after last semester's disaster.

Tea.

The last Interclass Battle was held
on the back hill, right?

That brawl at the back of the mountain,

I don't even want to think about it.

They're all attack-type
cyberkinesis users.

We couldn't shake them off
no matter how hard we tried.

In short, they're a vicious bunch.

Emoto, you...

If you're so scared,
why are you still a spirit medium?

How can you twist the knife
in my wound so innocently?

Why?

It's because...

All right, everyone has their reasons.

Master Haijima.

Looks like your real self
still couldn't make it.

What are you talking about?

Of course the real one is here.

Well...

The closer you are to the doll,
the less spiritual power you use.

It's been a while
since I left the academy...

But this time,
I want to win no matter what.

Ms. Itabashi, we're not taking it easy.

We've been preparing for this battle
for the past two weeks.

I can't wait to try "that"
in a real fight.

Get ready. We're almost there.

Isn't this Kusatsu?

Ms. Itabashi, we're back at the academy.

This time, it's a Kusatsu street battle.

You win if you "incapacitate" or
force your opponent to "surrender."

Ms. Kochi, the school physician, is here.

This is "Virtual Kusatsu,"

a complete recreation of Kusatsu
townscape on the society's land.

This is... this is so over the top.

A complete recreation...
Is that really possible?

There's a "Copy and Paste" cyberkinesis
user among the academy's advisors.

His spiritual power is unfathomable.

I'm connected to Mr. Azaki.

What? Is it recording?

Hello?

Mr. Azaki, the screen is dark.

Isn't this a nostril?

Mr. Azaki, you're too close.
Move away from the camera.

Is... is this okay?

Now you're too far!

Why aren't you wearing pants?

A common remote video call mishap.

It's a shame it wasn't recorded.

Mr. Azaki, please be serious.

I am serious!
This borrowed tablet is hard to use.

All right, anyway, good luck.

The faculty and your seniors
are watching this match closely.

Although it's a routine academy event,
this time it's different.

You're being evaluated.

To see if you're qualified to
participate in the K Exorcism Operation.

Sir, please look forward to it.

I won't embarrass you this time.

To be honest,

at first, I thought it was okay
to lose this time.

Because I like you guys.

Being sent on an extreme
exorcism mission too early,

there's a high chance you'll die.

You've worked really hard these past
two weeks and your skills have improved.

As your homeroom teacher,
I only have one thing to say...

Win this. That's all.

Yes, sir!

Win it. That goes without saying.

Let's show them
who the true spirit mediums are.

Listen, take them down one on one...

One on one.

In terms of individual combat power,
we have an absolute advantage.

Locate them as soon as possible
and crush them all at once.

Right, Mr. Nanzo?

That's right.

Enishiro is mine.

I'm interested in Enishiro too.

Azure is my favorite color.

What? Don't be so tactless.

Enishiro and I are in the middle
of a love scene, you see.

Anyway, let's get this
over with quickly this time too.

Wagari, who should I take on?

The first one you meet
will be your fated opponent.

Let's go.

It's time to hunt rabbits.

It's noon.

Classes 1-A and 1-B,
please take your positions.

At this point, we have no choice
but to give it our all.

Bring it on! Don't underestimate us!

If we can't even win this,
then forget about defeating K.

Hey, Enishiro.

Thanks for standing up for us
on the mountain the other day.

I was really happy.

Hasumi.

You were humiliated by Surugi.

Do you know why we didn't talk back?

Enishiro, that's because...

We're saving that score to settle
when the real fight begins.

Class 1-A vs. Class 1-B Battle!

Fight!

What a weak voice.

Give us a grander opening!

Let's go, Class 1-B!

Yes!

Good grief, we just started...

That barbaric roar is clearly Kasubata's.

Wait, Wagari.

Let me go first.

I'm starting to get inspired.

Cyber Out!

Millennium Suspension!

How could this happen?

I froze it again by accident.

Ashina is amazing!

Isn't that too big?

Ashina, how much power did you use?

Half.

Are you an idiot?

And put your clothes on properly!

Hey... what is that?

Ashina is a freezing-type exorcist.

His taste is as poor as ever.

I don't dislike its appearance.

I thought we could wipe them out
in one go,

but it's not that simple after all.

Emo!

Cyber Out! Nirvana Wall!

That was close!

Good thing we set a signal in advance.

Amazing, Emoto! Nice!

It's... it's alright.

Is Wagari getting back at us?

He attacked from there?

He's really something...

Class 1-A Captain, Minoru Wagari.

His cyberkinesis, "Worry-Cutter",

can freely change the target
and power of his slashes.

As a first-year, he's participated
in many advanced Ghost Account missions.

He's a genius who has even exorcised
intermediate Ghost Accounts alone.

Wagari is strong.

Listen up.

If you face him alone,
remember to retreat immediately.

You don't have to tell me that.

To think Kasubata would give
such a serious warning...

The real Haijima needs to move separately.
Don't get caught.

Roger!

Master, you can do it!

Where should I hide?

Somewhere they'll never find me...

One on one!

Once we confirm their location,
we'll synchronize with the others.

Enishiro, where are you?

I'll be sure to take
good care of you again.

I really want to keep looking
at this ice sculpture.

It's the ultimate beauty.

Where is Kasubata?

Hey, Owada, I need to pee.

Go to the nearest restroom.

That's strange.

I don't see anyone from Class 1-B.

Everyone from Class 1-B, where are you?

I'll achieve an overwhelming victory
in this Interclass Battle.

Then I'll take part in the ultimate
"Autophobia K" exorcism project.

This is the perfect stepping stone
for me to become an epic spirit medium.

"Slice"!

Hiyori Haijima!

The shut-in puppeteer.

It's commendable that you dared
to step onto the b*ttlefield.

Choosing the gift shops street
as your hideout was quite clever.

If you're going to hide a box,
hide it in a pile of cardboard.

But it's too bad.

You're trembling.

Wagari is strong. Remember to retreat.

How foolish.

You should've just surrendered.

"Slice"!

Most of Class 1-A's attackers are strong.

So they'll definitely split up
and search for the enemy first.

Haijima, you're in charge of bait.

Lure him in
with a "lone, cowardly minion".

You fell for it, you idiot!

My real self is hiding safely
somewhere else.

A narrow alley, plus an opening
after I make my move.

It's a trap.

Have you heard this saying?

Exorcism is all about teamwork.

First, we all take down
the strongest guy together.

Teamwork?

More like a g*ng fight.

A shameful strategy for the weak.

Forget about one-on-one.
I'll take care of you all myself.

Emo!

Slice!

Ren, where are the others from Class 1-A?

Don't worry, we haven't seen them yet.

Take him out before reinforcements arrive!

Direct hit!

The Ghost Fire ability user...

Yes, well done.

That's some well-trained teamwork.

Class 1-B's cyberkinesis powers,
walls, slime, and hammers,

each playing their part in coordination.

With the addition
of the "enflamer" type Enishiro,

their mobility has soared.

Class 1-B is doing well.

And Denmi-chan is so cute when she moves.

Principal, there's one more person.

He's the most dangerous existence
in Class 1-B.

Did he succeed?

Wagari is defeated...

All right! One down!

How could this happen?

To take a hit from Class 1-B...

This won't be a perfect victory.

I must be a perfect being...

He still has the will to fight!
Press the attack!

Now that he's stuck in the slime,
he can't swing his sword properly.

Suicide?

No...

This is bad!

Wagari's electric power allows him
to "choose" what to cut.

He only cut the slime.

Retreat!

The "Worry-Cutter" can choose
its target and power.

Normally, it's the tearing-type slash,
"Slice".

As for that severing-type slash,

I'm not supposed to use it on people.

Because if I'm not careful,
it could be fatal...

"Sever"!

He's a monster...

No, you can't do that!

I let my anger get the best of me.

I almost k*lled them.

Take a deep breath and regroup.

All right, from now on,
I'll "choose" to sever your limbs.

Don't go into shock and die.
Hang in there with all your might.

He really is crazy.

Our escape route is blocked.

Luring him into the alley backfired.

Fools! We can use the "Wall"
to defend ourselves!

Don't underestimate our Emoto...

The wall's gone?
