Good morning.

What is this?

This is the new school building that's going to be constructed next year.

We're going to take down the building that class 3-d is using right now and build a new one there.

Taking it down?

Right. We're going to get rid of anything useless. Our school is going to be reborn in April.

Anything useless?

Starting in April, we're going to be a co-ed school. Everything is going to be new.

And of course we'll have hot water running everywhere.

That'd be great.

For the female teachers, we're going to have a very stylish bathroom where you can redo your make-up.

I'm so happy.

Thank you so much for your concern.

This is great. Now if we have to go to a goukon, we can take our time to do our make-up.

But this has nothing to do with Yamaguchi-sensei.

Yamaguchi-sensei, you're only a temporary teacher workin till March.

I forgot.

Board Chairman, can't you do something about that?

I can't.

Rather than worrying about your students futures, shouldn't you be more concerned about your own future?

He's right.

We haven't decided on anything yet.

Yeah.

Well, you can find part time jobs easily.

You can be a tutor.

Or teach cram school.

Why don't you just take over your family business? You're the fourth generation.

Family business?

No...

If you're the fourth generation, you guys have been in the business for a long time.

What do you guys do?

You're asking me? What was it again?

Is it something you can't tell others?

Shut up. It's that. They have a soba(noodles) restaurant.

Soba restaurant?

Where's your restaurant?

Where you say?

The soba restaurant over there.

That was funny.

That's right. You have to find a new job in April.

Yeah.

But you don't have to find a job, Ojou.

If I don't work, I won't be able to face Otento-sama (the sun).

No, I meant that Ojou can take over the business.

Tetsu.

I'm sorry.

Kumiko, walk the path you want. Okay?

Thank you, Grandpa.

Ojou, what about this?

Let's see, in need of passionate teacher.

To train pets.

Pets?

Bro.

I love dogs, but I don't want this kind of job.

Forgive me.

How about this?

Floor lady (?)

What are you thinking?

But the name is so cool.

And it pays 3000 yen per hour.

3000 yen?

Break-times included.

This sounds good.

Between ages 18 and 23.

It's impossible.

Minoru. Try saying that one more time.

I won't be able to see Kujo-sensei either starting April.

Kujo-sensei.

Nya.

Excuse me.

Ah, good morning.

Yamaguchi-sensei, good morning.

What a coincidence meeting on a bus.

You're right. But why are you taking the bus today?

Eh? I take the bus sometimes.

Is that so? But if you get on this bus, you'll have to get off at the next stop.

What a waste.

Nothing.

Hey you guys, can you give your seat to this person?

Hey, did you hear me? One of you give your seat to her.

Shut up.

I'm telling you to give your seat to this person here.

Healthy young people sitting while elderly people are standing up. Don't you think that's strange?

You guys are in high school and you don't even have that much consideration.

Go ahead, have a seat here.

Thank you very much.

Darn.

-Good morning. -Yamaguchi-sensei.

Yes.

-There was call from Joyful Company. -Eh?

They're okay to go ahead with the student interviews.

-Really? -Yes.

That's right, this is no time to worry about myself. I have to use all my energy for my precious students' sake.

Alright, Fight-on!

Good morning.

Yo.

Tsuchiya, Homori, Kojima, Hamaguchi. Be happy.

-Joyful Company is willing to interview you guys for work. -Are you serious?

Alright.

-Joyful Company is the one for the game centre, right? -Which means you get to play games as much as you want.

Yes.

No you don't.

But I have no confidence for the interview.

Alright, we're going to practice for the interviews starting now.

What?

Mr. Tsuchiya, Mr. Homori, Mr. Kojima and Mr. Hamaguchi, please enter.

-Tsuchiya, don't fan yourself. -Wha?

Kojima, take off your hat. Homori, the last person closes the door.

Man, you're so annoying.

Hamaguchi, you can't wear sunglasses.

He's got round eyes, surprisingly.

Mr. Tsuchiya, why do you want to work for us?

Because Yankumi encouraged us.

That's not what you say. Something like, I'm good at playing games or I've dreamed of this.

-Yeah, I do love the gay-cen (short form for game centre) -Don't say gay-cen.

The next person. Mr. Homori.

-Please tell us your favourite saying. -Favourite saying?

No, I don't have one. Maybe, money.

That's not what I asked. I meant a proverb or a **yonmojijoku godoku**

What the hell is that?

-Bring on the fight. -No, not that.

-then "Getting Rich Quick" -How about "Set meal with Grilled Meat"?

Are you guys trying to make fun of me. Do you want to do this or no?

Then why don't you show it to us?

Yeah, we've never been interviewed before.

-Why should I? -Is it that you don't have any confidence?

-Hmm... -Suspicious.

There's no way.

Alright, I'll show you guys the right way.

Watch me.

Excuse me.

-Take a seat. -Yes.

Alright, bring it on.

-This isn't a fight. -Yes.

Why did you want to work here at Kurogin academy?

***

What language are you talking in?

Then do you have any reference?

My grandfather who took care of me as a parent.

Grandfather?

Well then, let's have your three sizes.

Well starting at the top, 95-58-88.

-Really? -Why are you asking that question?

-You shouldn't lie. -Yes.

Well, do you have a boyfriend?

Well, I have someone I like, but it's not going well with him though.

We didn't ask for such details.

Don't ask such questions.

Those guys playing around with a teacher.

Yamaguchi-sensei, there's somewhere I want you to go with me.

-Where? -To Tetsu's takoyaki stand.

Tetsu's takoyaki stand is...

I think you should stop seeing him.

No, he's my destined man.

You said you would support me, didn't you Yamaguchi-sensei?

That's... because I didn't know it was Tetsu.

You won't?

It's not that I won't but it's just that I'm always busy with the students' stuff. Besides a true teacher always has to think about her students' future.

-My future is also depending on you. -Future?

If it goes well between Tetsu and I, we might get married.

Marriage?

If that happens.

-Ojou. -Ojou.

-Ojou. -Ojou.

-I can't. Not possible. -Eh?

Besides, if I retire after I get married, they'll need one more teacher. So, you might be able to work even after April.

Is that so? That's right.

I don't think that's the case. Shiratori-sensei is an english teacher and Yamaguchi-sensei is a math teacher.

Why didn't I become an english teacher? I'm such an idiot.

Alright, now that it's decided, let's head out. To the Takoyaki stand.

He's in high spirits.

-Why do you have that face? -I don't want to be looked down on.

-I don't think this is good. -Well, I understand how you feel but...

You understand?

-Use this. The one we took recently. -Wow, thanks.

No, that's not gonna help.

What to do, Bro?

Even if you ask me...

Ah, the way he turns the takoyaki, those fingers that sprinkle the spice, but above all that face.

If you're not going to eat that, then I'll...

Tetsu, will you go to karaoke with me?

No, I'm not good at karaoke.

Then let's go for a meal.

I really can't...

How about I go with you? I'm good at eating.

I'm sorry.

Tetsu, do you have a girlfriend, by any chance?

Bro has someone he likes already. Right, Bro?

Idiot, what are you saying? In front of Ojou.

Ojou?

Elegant lady, right Minoru?

Elegant lady.

Me, elegant. I'm so happy.

Alright, I have my picture. And my resume is done too.

Ok then, should we celebrate his upcoming interview?

-Nobody celebrates a interview. -Don't worry, there's nothing to be scared of.

-Then, let's go karaoke. -Okay, then let's go.

Opposite side.

Oh oh.

Aren't you from Kurogin?

Tanabe from Todoroki.

You guys are gonna find work too?

You gotta problem with that? So?

Gonna work hard once you graduate?

None of your business.

Working? Are you guys stupid?

-Why don't you stop it already? -Stop it. Don't care about these kind of guys.

These kind of guys? Now you've said it.

-You looking down on us? -Why you....

Hayato.

Man, what's with the high school students nowadays?

-All those from Kurogin Academy. Please come in.

Yes.

Excuse us.

You're the guy I saw last night.

I heard there was a call from Joyful Company.

Yes, there was.

-They're all out. -All of them.

They weren't even allowed to have the interview.

What do you mean?

It's Tsuchiya's fault. Tsuchiya's.

Tsuchiya's?

I didn't think that interviewer saw our fight last night.

We're so unlucky.

That's not what it's about.

Sorry.

Don't say sorry. You ruined the interview we got after great trouble.

Stop being so easy-going.

-What did we do wrong? -It was the guys from Todoroki. It's their fault.

They picked a fight with us.

You guys might be ok with that but what about them?

Because of your stupid fight, they weren't able to go through with the interview.

I'm not going to tell you to stop fighting but there are times you have to act smart.

By having self-control.

Alright already. I couldn't control myself.

Don't show me that attitude.

-Don't get so angry. -It was probably no use even if we did get interviewed.

Don't worry. It's okay.

It's not okay. It's about your lives.

How can you say you don't care?

Think about your lives more seriously.

Up till now, your parents covered for you guys no matter what you did. But it's going to be different from here on.

Making your own decisions, right?

Not just that. Taking responsibility for your actions.

Easier said that done. But you guys still don't understand its importance.

Your actions might involve others and even hurt them.

There might be things that cannot be undone.

Keep that in mind.

Board Chairman.

There's no need for you guys to look for jobs from now on.

-What do you mean by that? -If something like this happens again, then our school will be disgraced.

What'd you say?

Be quiet.

I'll make myself clear. If something like this happens again, there will be harsh consequences.

You mean expulsion?

Yes.

Severly punishing those that cause problems will help in creating a good image for our school.

-What do you mean by "creating a good image"? -Don't kid around.

I told you to be quiet.

I will definitely not let the students get expelled no matter what happens.

-Yamaguchi-sensei. -I will make sure each and everyone of them graduate.

Talking about a dream.

Is it wrong?

Not just graduating but finding the path you want to follow afterwards.

I want to see my students walk forward proudly.

That is my dream.

Even if you dream that about these guys...

It's just a waste.

Expel us if you want.

Yabuki.

Wait all of you.

Don't worry. You believe in them, don't you?

I know but.

Eighteen year olds, they're still kids.

They don't even worry about getting it right or wrong. They just go with their guts. That is okay in its own way.

Kumiko, don't look away from them.

Finding work or going to university, is just the beginning for these students.

Face the students directly so that you won't have any regrets.

Oya-san.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm definitely not giving up.

Fight-on!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I've collected a list of specialty schools and several job offers that you can still apply to. Look over them.

If you find one that you're interested in, ask me about it.

I told you already I want to be a job-hopper.

It's okay to be a job-hopper but even they work.

I'm just telling you to think about what you want to do as a job-hopper.

Even if you ask us what kind of a job we want to do...

-Okay, let me ask you. What interests you the most? -Cars and motorcycles.

-Then how about working at a garage? -Yeah.

I like fashion.

-Then how about working at a boutique? -Yeah.

-I only know how to fight. -Then how about grappling? It's popular nowadays.

-There's no way. -Don't give up right from the beginning. You won't know until you try.

-Then maybe I'll work for pachinko store. -I wonder if I can apply for a movie theatre.

I'd like to work at a family restaurant or fast food restaurant. I can eat everyday.

See, just thinking about it gives you lots of ideas.

It's nothing difficult.

The important thing is to work responsibly no matter what kind of job you have, whether it's a part-time of full-time.

-You must never give up. -Ok, alright.

This is Kurogin Academy's Yamaguchi calling. Actually there is a student applying to your company. Can you please interview him?

Yamaguchi-sensei is causing trouble.

We had told her they shouldn't look for work.

What is she thinking?

Head Teacher Sawatari has brought an unbelievable teacher.

I'm so sorry.

Can you please do something about it? Please. If you could just interview him.

-Can you please interview him, at least? -We don't plan on hiring anyone this year.

Interviewing just one is fine.

I apologize for this abrupt call. This is Kurogin Academy's Yamaguchi calling

Ojou what about this?

Ojou how about this?

These are...

It's this guy. He's really good at basketball and has a lot of physical strength. I'm sure he'll do great.

-I'm thinking of applying here. -I think it's impossible.

-Here. -No way.

-Please hire him. -I have enough help now.

At least please interview him. Can you please do it?

I know you came all this way, but I can't.

Yamaguchi.

Yankumi.

Please, he has a great spirit.

I can't.

Please. At least meet him once. Please.

She told us before, didn't she?

Not just graduating but finding the path you want to follow afterwards. I want to see my students walk forward proudly.

That is my dream.

Please, hire him.

-She's begging them so much. -Why is she doing that much just for us?

What dream?

There's no use keeping hopes in us.

Please, hire him. Please.

Takayama, congratulations. That's great.

Thank you.

Ah, good morning.

-Takayama got a job offer. -That's great.

That's a first.

Hold on.

Tsuchiya, it's about Joyful Company that didn't work out before. They're willing to interview you tomorrow.

Eh?

Together with Homori, Kojima and Hamaguchi.

Yankumi, you asked them?

Well, I am your homeroom teacher. Obviously.

Thank you.

No problem.

What's wrong?

We'll pay you back.

Pay back?

He means we'll graduate.

All of us together.

-We don't want it to go the way the Board Chairman wants it. -Just watch us.

You guys.

We definitely won't fight until we graduate.

We promise.

Those guys make me cry.

She's a little depressed.

Did something happen?

One of Shiratori-sensei's students failed his university entrance exam. He told her it was all her fault.

Is that so?

He failed his exam. Even if he tells me it's my fault...

I'm thinking of quitting this job.

-You're quitting? -It doesn't fit me.

Maybe I'll quit being a teacher and marry Tetsu.

Bro, she just confessed.

I already have someone I liked for a long time.

She takes pride in her job, doesn't think about loss or gain, and puts all her effort into everything.

I think you should also stop thinking about useless things and put all your effort into things.

-There's no good jobs. -This is good.

Idiot. It says for university graduates.

All of you from Kurogin. Thanks for last time.

We have no intention of fighting you guys.

Heh, interesting.

That's all there is to it. See ya.

You think you can walk away like that?

Hayato.

-You. -Tsucchi.

What is this? Bring it on.

We told you we don't feel like it.

Don't joke.

Hello. Shiratori-sensei.

Eh? Where is it?

Move.

Hey, you guys

why

why

why won't you fight back?

-Shiratori-sensei. -Yamaguchi-sensei, over there.

They won't fight back at all.

They didn't try to hit them back even once.

They can't...

We definitely won't fight until we graduate.

We promise.

Whats with you guys?

Don't touch my precious students.

You've done enough.

Who're you?

Me? I'm their homeroom teacher.

She's their homeroom teacher.

I won't let you lay a finger on them.

The homeroom teacher here to revenge her students?

Don't kid around.

You wanna fight?

Why aren't you running away?

Fight back.

You won't understand why they weren't fighting back.

They weren't holding back just to entertain you.

They've endured so much. I can't just waste their efforts.

Hit me all you want.

But in return, hit me till you're satisfied.

Let's go.

You guys

are stupid.

You let them do this to you.

Yeah, it's because we're stupid.

But, we can't help it.

We had promised you.

You guys.

We're going to graduate.

Together with everyone.

You guys.

You guys really are students I can be proud of.

-You did well. -Stop it

-You too. You did well. -It hurts.

Show your best to them.

Work hard.

I'll skip today's interview.

What are you talking about?

-But I can't go with this face. -Tsuchiya, this is different than last time.

You didn't do anything wrong.

If they ask you about your wounds, tell them the truth.

Be proud of yourself.

Okay everyone. Formation F.

Alright.

-Let's go then. -Yeah.

Let's go.

Yamaguchi-sensei. What are you thinking?

Sending him for an interview with a bruised face.

-You really have a lack of common sense. -This will hurt our school's honour.

Tsuchiya didn't do anything shameful.

Well, we'll be rid of them after march. The students as well as you.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Matsubara from the board of directors is here.

Mrs. Matsubara?

Mrs. Matsubara from the board of directors is a really rich person.

I heard his grandchild is going to attend our school in April.

Mrs. Matsubara, thank you for coming all this way.

Grandma.

You're a teacher here?

Yamaguchi-sensei, you know Mrs. Matsubara?

No, not really.

Mr. Kurokawa, she will be working here even after April, right?

Eh?

That is...

I would like to have my grandchild to be in your class.

No, that is I...

Is there a problem?

No, of course we will, Mrs. Matsubara.

Board Chairman.

Yamaguchi-sensei, we'll be counting on you even after April.

Yes. Thank you.

-Yamaguchi-sensei, congratulations. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

Yes. Alright.

Fight-on!

I'm impressed.

After seeing you Yamaguchi-sensei and the students from class 3-d, maybe I wasn't facing the students properly.

If I face them properly, the students will understand my feeling too.

Yes. They will.

I'll do my best.

I will do my best too.

Yankumi.

Tsuchiya. You guys, how did your interview go?

For now, we did all we could.

I see.

Tsucchi.

-I was lonely. -Me too.

-How was the interview... -Okay...

-Good job. -Good job.

Okay guys. We will all graduate together.

Yeah.

-One more time. -Yeah.

-Once more. -Yeah.

-We're not done yet. -Yeah.

-Again. -Yeah.
