August 16th

This was stuck to your face.

Huh? Oh. Thanks.

Hey, is that any fun?

Huh?

Lying on the floor like that all day long. Is it any fun?

Hmm, well...

...sure it's fun.

Oh, yeah? You don't say.

We're all out of balls now.

--Aww... --For real?

Aww, they're at it again--

playing super-powers and getting carried away with it.

Yeah, I know.

Nagara, do you have one?

Huh?

A super-power.

If I did, I wouldn't be on the floor like this.

Oh, you wouldn't? No, I guess not.

Aww, I wonder why all of this is happening, anyway.

Everyone else has vanished. Everything except for the school.

What are we going to do about that?

It's screwed up all of our plans for summer vacation.

Hey, is this a utopia? Or a hell?

I don't know.

Oh, are you doing something?

Going to the bathroom.

Oh, okay.

Ah, my stomach's killing me!

Come on, you guys! How many windows are you going to break?!

Mm-hmm, what can we do?

Yeah. None of them think ahead, and they're all pissing me off.

It's not like I don't get it, though.

Huh? Get what?

People who were nothing special yesterday

suddenly gaining tremendous power.

Of course they'll want to test themselves to find out what they can do.

I mean, right?

But if things go back to normal like this, this will definitely be on us.

On us?

The teachers will say we were negligent in our oversight as the student council.

If that gets into my permanent record, I'll...

Relax. I'll come up with something. I won't let them break anything else.

What are you gonna do, though?

Did you see their powers? I don't care how convincing you are...

Has there ever been anything

I said I would do that I ended up not being able to?

No, there hasn't.

But we're on the side here who didn't get any, remember?

It's all right. I'll come up with something.

Sheep aren't that bright, after all.

I have to show them the right way.

So, what exactly are you going to do?

It's simple.

We just need to make up some new rules. Rules for "This World."

Rules, huh? And you think everyone will keep them?

It's just like soccer; anyone who commits a foul...

...is given a penalty.

Mm-hmm.

Ugh, I'm so bored. I don't have anyone else to talk to besides you.

Then you could make some new friends.

Hmm, well, I guess.

That is, if I developed some kind of super-power I could use.

You think? I don't really care.

Oh? Trying to talk brave?

No, it's not that...

Hey, I've been thinking about this...

Mm-hmm?

What if it wasn't the city that disappeared? It might have been us.

This all feels too real to be a dream.

Thinking that way isn't going to help anything.

What's happened has happened.

Hey, what do you think that is?

What?

You know, that.

That thing shining up there.

Uh, I don't see anything.

Huh?

Are you being serious?

Is there something there?

No...

Yes, yes, good going.

"Stop!! Hibari-kun!"

Group Talk

You have been invited to join the group 'Drifting Classroom'.

Accept

This is Class 2-3-2 Student Council representative Tanigawa. It has been seven days since the school was surrounded in darkness.

We are unable to contact the outside,

and our parents and teachers must be terribly worried.

It's possible that this is a huge affair, and we might be on the news.

"...and we might be on the news..."

Currently, the school is all alone in this unknown darkness.

Indeed, we are truly adrift.

Further, there are super-powers and other unreal phenomena that exist here.

And presently, the school is being harmed by these unknown powers.

Due to the reckless actions of some students

who happened to gain these powers.

"Yeah!" "How dare they!"

"They can use Group Talk, too" "Doesn't matter"

At some point, someone will be coming to rescue us.

However, we have a duty as students of this school.

We must bear in mind that we are in our senior year.

Which is why I have a proposal for all of you.

For us to fulfill our obligations,

we will have duties selected for each of us.

In order to put those together, we will need a leader.

We will choose a leader from among the 36 of us,

and together, we will create the rules for This World!

Ballot box

Congratulations!

As of now, you are our leader!

You really want me to do this?

You're the Student Council president, Machi. Shouldn't you be the one?

No...

You have to be the one!

Mm-hmm!

Teacher Daily Reports & Logs

Hey, before summer vacation,

do you remember there being any strange incidents at school?

Hm? What?

During first term,

is it true that some auroras and skyfish showed up out in the schoolyard,

and that three billion yen was found in the lockers?

Ah, it does seem like I heard something about that.

But if any of that actually happened, wouldn't it...

Hey, Nagara, what are you up to?

Hmm?

Don't you have cleaning today?

What do you mean?

You didn't see the Group Talk?

You got an invite from Cap, didn't you?

Oh, that. I didn't think it concerned me.

Huh?! Are you serious?! You're in for it now.

In for what?

You see, there are some new rules.

Like "No using super-powers while inside the school."

On top of that, everyone has a duty now.

Rules?

And our leader is in charge of it all!

Leader?

Yeah, Cap!

What's a Group Talk?

That's where I lost you?!

She doesn't have a smartphone.

Ah, this is such a pain!

Hayato!

Are you slacking off?

Ah, crap. Gotta go. Make sure to read your messages.

Uh-huh, okay.

Why can't we use our powers?!

Because it's something we all decided together.

Huh? You guys just prompted the rest of them to agree to it.

Majority rules?

Don't make me laugh!

That's quite enough.

You're just jealous because you don't have any great power, aren't you?

Huh? What are you laughing at?

I just think it's funny.

Huh?

I mean, of course you're happy.

All of a sudden, you've obtained this incredible power,

when you were just a stooge before.

What did you say?

But you know what?

It's a power that doesn't work in the real world.

On top of which, it has nothing to do with your own worth.

It's just a power that you happened to pick up, right?

You should think a little bit harder before you act on it.

Hey!

Huh?

You just broke the glass, didn't you?!

So what if I did?

That's two now. Isn't that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Three! Four! Five!

Whoa, watch it!

Six!

Yeah! I'll break as many as I like!

"We must not dirty or damage the school. Let's keep it neat."

Penalty!

What are you talking about?

I keep dividing and dividing, but there's always a remainder!

No, no, no!

Long division. He has to do long division for his penalty!

Like I said...

...your word is absolute.

Damn...!

Oh, yeah...

No, I don't want to do this! Why is this happening to me?

Emergency rations

Did you hear about Asakaze?

Mm-hmm, he's being made to do division all night long, right?

Calculating-pi hell. The rules are absolute. Yikes!

Um, I need enough for two.

That is enough for two.

Oh, it is?

I finally found you.

Nozomi, isn't it?

She's not cooperating and doing this.

She's just being spiteful.

Sure.

I hear you just got back from abroad. That's so cool.

Yes, I did.

This is for you.

I heard you don't have a smartphone. Hayato said so.

So we're going to provide one just for you.

And the first thing I'll need you to do is join the Group Talk...

I'm fine, thanks.

Uh, what did you say?

I don't want it.

And, uh, what exactly do you mean by that?

Do you not like the design of this smartphone? Or is it--

I don't wish to participate. That's what I mean.

S-So you're saying...

You don't approve of what we're doing?

Mm-hmm, that's it. I don't like how rigid you're being.

Why not let everyone be free?

We can't do that. This is for everyone's good.

You'll be thanking us before you know it.

This world has to be fair and square.

You see, we're victims.

You talk as if you were God.

And has the world ever really been "fair"?

Thank you.

All right, then, goodbye.

You're just going to let her walk away, Cap?!

"We must not break school supplies."

Mm-hmm! Just a moment!

Penalty!

Is that really your power?

August 16th, Tuesday

I still... see it...

Is she being penalized, too?

Mm-hmm. A-hundred-laps-around-the-school hell.

Damn these stupid rules. There must be some way around that idiot's power.

Dwelling on it won't help.

Why not?

Because the rules are rules, that's why.

Must be nice to think that way. Do you have a super-power?

Of course I don't.

I guess not.

First up, the mystery of this darkness.

No matter what we do, we can't observe what's outside. It's truly nothingness.

Also, while it seems that time is still moving forward within the school...

Time may still be flowing,

but are we remaining static?

If that's true, then her arm will never heal,

and we won't ever grow another millimeter.

On the other hand, I do get hungry,

as well as sleepy.

I don't get this.

On top of it all, there are these super-powers.

It's positively strange. I can't explain this phenomenon.

We really might be adrift in here.

"This World," as he calls it,

Real world

This World?

Drifting?

Time

Static?

is set up differently than the real world,

as are the "rules" of this world.

So the primary question is,

why did something like this happen, anyway?

I was going to the library to borrow a book, and at that moment...

Oh, yeah!

That's when that storm hit!

Huh?

Is the school sinking?

"Out of order"

I'm sorry.

You have nothing to apologize for.

But this is the third time now.

I'm sure your mother has her reasons.

It may not feel reasonable to you,

but lately, things have been tough for grown-ups, too.

Right.

Hey, Ms. Aki,

would you mind faxing this for me?

Okay.

On the other hand,

while your pathway really is important,

what I'm most concerned with is your mind.

You aren't alone. I'm here for you.

You can come and talk to me about anything, okay?

Thank you very much.

I'm glad to have you as my homeroom teacher.

Are you a third-year?

Yeah, I am.

So am I. The name is Nozomi. You're Nagara, right?

Huh? You know my name...?

That's just dandy.

Hey, you wanna do this, too?

No, I'm good.

Really? It feels great.

Why are you tearing it up?

Huh? Just because.

Go on, you do it. It's fun.

No, I don't want to.

Because the teachers will get mad at you?

Okay, I'm out.

Leaving?

Something I have to do.

Yeah, I know people like you. Always pretending they're busy.

Acting like they have so many places they need to be.

It turns out that people like that end up being the ones who have no place to go.

Hey, do you...

Do you really want to go someplace else?

Nagara, hold on. I'm not done talking to you.

Hey, are you running away from me?!

The captain's word is absolute!!

What's that you're doing there?

What am I doing? We still have exams when we get back.

When we get back?

What's that?!

What's going on here?!

As of now, we're taking control of the school.

Huh? Don't be ridiculous!

You'll get another penalty--

We're sick of listening to you.

Huh? What?

Oh...

Huh?

You're not the only ones who gained a power.

Where are you going?

To get out of this world.

Huh? Hold on...

Are you sure you want to be doing this?

Penalty!

[Hey, this isn't what you said! You said we wouldn't get penalties!]

Penalty!

I'm not done yet! There's more!

You've been like this ever since grade school.

Hmm?

You've always been someone who couldn't stand not having a position.

What was that?!

I mean, just because you can play a little baseball, people fawn over you.

You only even got nominated because of Hoshi.

Sh-Shut up!

Penalty!

Penalty!

Wh-Why?!

I knew it!

I haven't broken any of the rules this time.

This isn't your power at all. It's just the way it is.

It's the power of "This World," isn't it?

"Cap no-confidence resolution" "Voted out by majority rule!!"

Rules are coercively enforced in this space. Or if you turn it around,

"Cap no-confidence resolution" "Voted out by majority rule!!"

you're nothing but a mere mortal here!

I won't have anyone not doing what I say!

Good grief...

How do we get out of here?

It might be surprisingly easy, if we just give it a try.

Whoa, that's going too far, isn't it?!

Huh?!

Mm-mm, nothing.

Back off! The rules have nothing to do with it. I have a duty to uphold, here.

Are you sure you want to be doing this?

Huh?

So it's okay for you to break the school's rules?

Of course it's okay.

I'm the captain, after all.

No.

Huh?

You can't.

"Let's follow the rules even without any teachers around."

There aren't any exceptions.

Huh?

Penalty!

Poor guy. He was only trying to carry out his responsibilities.

What does this mean? The leader isn't the only one who can give out penalties?

It wasn't something you needed to know.

You all just had to keep quiet and do as you were told.

Why, you bastard...!

You really are an idiot. No imagination at all.

You don't understand a thing unless you're given a simple demonstration.

You all can no longer go back to the world you came from.

This is the place, all right.

I can see it clearly.

There had to have been a bird here.

But it's not here anymore.

It must have gone back to its own world.

So, um, what are you...

Tell me, are you a sunflower, or are you a dandelion?

Huh? What are you talking about?

If there were a place that shone brighter than the place you're at,

would you want to go see it?

Or would you stay where you are and just keep staring at it?

If I had to choose...

Mm-hmm?

Dandelion, I guess.

Then you're like me.

What is that girl doing?
