Counting on you, man.

Hey, Ayanokoji.

You're taking this quiz challenge, too?

Yeah. Are things going well for your group?

We're racking up the game points!

But...

It's Kanji, you know? He's acting pretty down.

He'd been a little weird before the test, too,

but he keeps trying to pretend like he's fine.

I'm worried, but we're in a challenge now.

Work together and you should place near the top.

Right.

But you're by yourself, right?

You gonna be okay?

It will depend on if the category is one of my strong fields.

Well, see ya later.

Like you said, we're in a challenge now.

We're gonna give it our all!

Let us begin.

Anime?

What in the world?

Are you kidding?! Easiest challenge ever!

All right, but...

What in the world is Bomdam?

Classroom of the Elite 4th Season 2nd Year 1st Term

Classroom of the Elite 4th Season 2nd Year 1st Term

All right! First place is ours!

Great work, man!

Kanji!

R-Right!

That quiz was very challenging.

Yeah.

Are you worried about Sudo-senpai's group?

What do you think of them?

The one sitting on the ground seems disheartened.

Is he feeling ill, perhaps?

It's not a physical issue.

You're worried about a psychological issue on their part, then?

I won't deny it, but I don't have time to worry about others.

The fourth designated area will be announced soon.

Shall we get going?

First, Nanase...

Could I look at your tablet?

Fair enough.

We don't know for sure that we're on the same table yet.

I thought she might refuse, but...

It seems we really are on the same table, then.

Agreed.

Shall we take the shortest route?

No, let's not force ourselves.

Challenges have spawned at G8 and G9, too.

Let's visit those two and call it a day.

Where should we camp tonight, then?

Good question.

Once we've done the challenges, let's walk to H9 and camp there.

Hey, Ayanokoji.

Did you say you were gonna camp in H9?

What if I did?

That's our next designated area.

You wanna meet up later?

It's always more fun with friends around.

I'd love to pick your brain, too.

Sure thing.

Do you have any issue with that, Nanase?

Not at all.

I'd see it as a fine opportunity to talk, in fact.

Nanase-chan, you're in Class D?

You don't look like the type to me.

Not at all. I'm actually quite a mess of a person.

It's appropriate that I'd start in Class D.

Aw, you don't look like a mess to me.

We're the real messes, right?

Kanji, Ken, what's with you guys?

We're fine.

But Ryotaro...

You really shouldn't trust Nanase.

Huh? How come?

It's just the truth.

I don't follow.

It's all right, Hondo-senpai.

I did something hurtful to Sudo-senpai before.

Something hurtful?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Well, okay.

But Kanji, you've been down for a while, huh?

No way, man. I'm just... fine.

You're clearly not fine!

You've been acting weird since before the test.

Ganging up on me now, huh?

I-I'm fine, like I said...

You seem rather listless to me, as well.

See?

Has something been bothering you?

Well... it's just...

C'mon. Just spill it already, man.

It's probably nothing serious, right?

It's really nothing.

Why not give him time to collect his thoughts?

Huh?

No need for that, Nanase-chan.

Nah. Let's give him time, Ryotaro.

S-Sure.

Fine. Okay.

The truth is, um...

There's...

There's a girl I've kind of... liked... for a while.

The girl I like...

The girl I've fallen for...

It's, um...

Shinohara Satsuki.

I hated her at first.

But... I can't really explain it...

At some point, I started liking her.

But I didn't want to admit it, so I pretended I didn't like her at all.

So why not just fess up to her already?

I can't do that now, can I?!

Something happened, didn't it?

Komiya's in the group she ended up in.

I think he...

He probably likes her, too.

And Shinohara... I think maybe she has eyes for him, too.

So... I wanted to get her in my group for this test.

But I just couldn't be honest.

It ended in a fight like usual.

I'm so pathetic.

I think I got the wrong idea at some point...

Even though we've fought, I thought maybe she liked me, too...

I'm lame as all hell.

I still dunno what to do.

Ike-senpai...

You have trouble being honest with Shinohara-senpai, don't you?

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

But now Shinohara's in a group with Komiya!

That means I'm friend-zoned for good, right?!

I don't know. I really don't, but...

Shinohara-senpai might be waiting for you to make a gesture.

Make a gesture?

It's clear that you're the kind of person who's friendly with everyone

and says what's on his mind.

Shinohara-senpai probably likes that about you.

But she also wants to be a little more special to you.

She wanted you to be a little more open about the fact that you like her.

It's fine to protect your heart,

but you won't get anywhere until you tell her how you feel.

I understand you wanting to go after her now, too,

but your first priority should be surviving this trial.

If you find yourself unable to see her again...

If you end up in a situation where you can't see the person you love...

you'll never have another chance to tell them how you feel.

This is no time to wallow in your feelings, Ike-senpai.

You're right.

None of it means anything unless I survive this test, right?

I can't get anywhere if I'm outside the school.

Yeah! That's the way, Kanji!

Um, Ayanokoji-senpai...

Are you awake?

Give me a minute.

I'll come out.

Do you think I went too far in what I said to Ike-senpai yesterday?

Your words reinvigorated him.

He's probably grateful.

Do you think so?

I feel like he may be in a precarious place.

What I said earlier might lead him to push himself too far...

So I'm worried about leaving him.

I understand how you feel.

But we can't stay with him, huh?

Well, if we decide on a place to meet up, we can meet up again.

The designated areas could throw a wrench into that,

but let's arrange it before we part ways.

All right. Thank you.

So this challenge is "beach flags."

I'd like to register.

Right.

Is registration still open?

I'm afraid we just filled up.

I see.

There's room for one more in the women's event, though.

If you can't participate, I'll pass.

No, I wanted a break anyway.

You should take part.

But...

The fact that you've yielded the arrival order awards to me

is giving me a healthy game-point cushion.

Thank you.

I'll take you up on that offer.

Everyone else here is a third-year.

If only one from each group can participate,

it shouldn't be so unbalanced.

I wonder if they've gathered here for some purpose.

Um... how should I put this...

You picked a very cute swimsuit.

Really?

I was pretty sure this is what beach flag players wear on TV...

Did I get it wrong?

No.

Her Physical Ability on the OAA is B+.

But from what I've seen from her so far,

I wouldn't be surprised if she earned an A.

U-Um, Ayanokoji-senpai...

Having you stare at me like that makes me feel a little self-conscious...

Oh, right.

Sorry.

Well, I'll be on my way.

Here I go!

It looks like you missed your shot at the challenge.

I suppose you did, too.

Or are you just here because it's your designated area?

I couldn't say.

Would you like to swim with me?

You seem to be taking a leisurely approach.

I assumed you'd be scrambling to win game points.

It's important to take breaks, as well.

Besides, things don't kick into gear until tomorrow.

That's when the mid-game begins.

The top and bottom ten groups will be announced.

If any non-third-year groups have wedged themselves into the top three,

that's when I'll move into action.

We can't have any first- or second-years standing on the victory podium.

That includes you, of course.

I appreciate the warning.

But I'm by myself,

so I'm more likely to end up at the bottom, if anything.

You'd better form a group soon, then.

If you end up self-destructing and getting yourself expelled,

I think Horikita-senpai will be very disappointed.

Nagumo, could you come here a minute?

There's a strategy Nagumo Miyabi is uniquely cut out for.

If he carries it out...

It could be a very difficult battle indeed.

You won easily.

Thank you. It didn't feel easy, though.

Nanase, how are your water supplies?

I'm almost out, aside from this bottle I just won.

I'm down to one bottle, too.

The first real hurdle will be securing hydration.

We'll have to find water somehow.

If I were by myself, I could continually return to the starting area to restock,

hitting designated areas and challenges along the way.

But I doubt Nanase can keep up with that.

Ayanokoji-senpai.

Why did you decide to work alone?

Are you worried about me?

I just don't see any benefit to working alone.

True, it comes with many disadvantages.

But it's not without its benefits.

Joining up with a group that's worried about falling behind in game points

could provide unexpected synergistic effects.

And that's why you're acting on your own?

It's one possibility.

Maybe you've simply overestimated me, and I failed to find a group to join.

I suppose.

You're not always the most eloquent person, Ayanokoji-senpai.

Have you always been that way?

Don't people with personalities like mine tend to stay consistently that way?

But there are incidents that can change a person, I'm sure.

What about you? Have you changed since you were in middle school?

I'm not sure. I suppose I have, a little bit.

In what way?

I think I used to laugh more.

I used to talk to people and have fun more often, too.

Then there was an event...

that made me feel like I really had changed.

Can you keep going?

Y-Yes.

It's important to take breaks and not overtax yourself.

But...

If you push too hard now and can't keep up later,

it'll probably be harder for you.

Yes... That's true.

I'll check out the challenge nearby.

Can I register?

Yes. You'll be the seventh.

Can I register?!

Your group will be the last.

Hey, first time seeing you in this test,

Ayanokoji.

It takes courage to take this on solo.

You racking up those game points?

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm in the bottom ten.

Yeah, right.

You wouldn't go it alone if you didn't think you could do it.

I expect to see you in the top ten. Right?

Anyway, I'm just glad this challenge isn't math.

I don't stand a chance against a math genius.

We will now begin the history challenge.

No more talking, I guess.

Man, you got me again.

I can't believe you're good at history, too.

It was multiple choice. I got lucky at guessing.

Lucky?

Sorry, but I'm not buying that one.

I'm afraid I'm in a hurry.

Which challenge are you after next?

I plan to hit the science challenge.

That's a shame.

Later, Ayanokoji.

Nanase, how are you feeling?

I feel ready to resume, thank you.

Let's head out, then.

Um, could I ask you a question?

What is it?

If I'm not mistaken, I think you could do much better if you wanted.

In both the designated areas and the challenges.

I fully intend to pace myself.

But there are only so many game points you can score in a day.

Won't you keep losing ground at this rate?

All I'll say is that this is another part of my strategy.

Your... strategy?

Anyway, let's get going.

R-Right.

Sudo's group should be nearby.

True.

Hey, Ayanokoji!

That was fast.

We get to camp together again, huh?

Amazing work.

You caught all these fish?

We caught 'em from the ocean.

Hey, something smells delicious.

What's wrong, Karuizawa-san?

O-Oh, nothing.

It's just, you know...

It's pretty cool that they're frying those fish!

Hey, mind if we camp out with you?

Looks like Ike-kun's got a feast for us!

Huh? Why should I share?!

C'mon, it won't hurt you.

It will if you eat my fish!

Not happening!

Hey, it's no big deal.

She might know what Shinohara's up to.

F-Fine, I guess.

I'll fry up some extra, then!

Really? Lucky us!

I'm so glad we asked!

Things seem to be going well.

Yeah, no thanks to me.

Has anything happened in the last few days?

With the person you mentioned?

Nothing in particular.

They're writing down everyone they've interacted with on their tablet.

Keep it up, please.

Okay.

While we're asking questions...

That first-year...

I hear she's been going around with you.

Does that upset you?

Of course it does.

It's to do better on the test.

I didn't have a choice. That's all.

Really?

That's the only emotion I have about it.

I trust you, but...

It's just...

The thought of you being alone with a girl...

I don't like it.

Kei.

Y-You kissed me?

You can keep the faith, can't you?

Is that an emergency alarm?

It does seem likely.

It doesn't seem like it's stopping.

And if five minutes pass...

Help will track down their location via GPS.

Could we find them before the school comes?

If we try, it would be better to have more people.

Let's wake up the others.

Right.
