ADVANCED NURTURING HIGH SCHOOL

Look at the view!

We are going very deep into the mountains.

I guess there's nothing there, like the uninhabited island.

I heard the big bath is a natural hot spring.

Seriously? Hey, is the hot spring for mixed bathing?

Hey, don't get carried away!

Your voice is too loud too, Sudo.

Sorry, Suzune.

I'm kind of nervous because the upperclassmen are with us.

I can tell. That's because we don't usually have much contact with them.

I'm sorry to interrupt your excitement,

but please be quiet.

From now, all you Class D students...

Pardon me.

You're all Class C now.

Now, to those of you who have been promoted,

I will explain the special exam,

"Mixed Training Camp," that is about to take place.

So cold.

Woah, this place is great!

Are we going to spend a week here?

To think that we're going to live with the students from another class.

I don't think I can do it.

This special exam is designed to measure your mental growth,

mainly through the training camp.

You will form groups with students you don't normally interact with

and live together with.

"Mixed Training Camp."

As the name implies, it's a special exam in which several small groups are formed

by mixing several classes by grade and by gender,

and each group is graded based on group performance.

Four tests are given on the last day of the training camp

to determine whether the students pass or fail.

1. MEDITATION - 2. WRITTEN EXAM 3. SPEECH - 4. LONG-DISTANCE RELAY

The top-performing group will receive class points and private points.

But that's not the point.

Yeah.

The one thing that must be avoided is falling below the borderline.

If so, the person in charge of the group who did not reach the border

and one designated person would be expelled from the school.

So you mean this is an enforced joint responsibility exam?

Sudo, you're in trouble, aren't you? You have a bad attitude after all.

What? I've been behaving myself lately!

I won't let anyone from this class get expelled.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to talk to me.

But how do we do that?

Except for dinner, the boys and girls are separated, right?

And our phones will be collected during the exam, right?

Yep.

That's why I think we should have a consultant on the girls' side.

Would you be willing to take on the role, Horikita?

Sure.

I don't mean to speak for myself,

but I don't think I have the right personality to be a consultant.

That's really not something she should say about herself.

That's why, Kushida...

I'd like to ask you to be my subleader.

Do you think I can be of any help?

Of course.

You're trusted by everyone in this class.

Okay! If you're okay with me, I'll do my best to help you.

Seriously...

-I don't believe this. -My phone...

I wanna go home now.

It looks like Class A has already planned something regarding this exam.

Class C!

Submit your devices now.

Submit it here...

SENDER: A

...and sign the form.

This exam...

It's impossible for me alone to protect the whole class.

I need to focus on the target I need to protect.

I will do my best as Nagumo instructed!

Yeah, I'm counting on you.

We will now go to the facility with your luggage,

where we will divide you into groups of boys and girls.

The grouping will be left up to you, the students.

And the school will not be involved in any way.

-In other words, it's all left to us. -Decide who's in charge of the group.

-Being in a group with him... -If you fail to do so,

it will result in disqualification...

-Kakeru Ryuen. -...or forced expulsion.

After that defeat,

the former tyrant of Class C voluntarily stepped down from his position.

And now he's in Class D.

No, he's someone whom others should deal with cautiously.

Ryuen.

So now, first years, get your stuff and start moving.

Are we going to climb the mountain with all that luggage?

Hey, girls! Help us out too!

Senior Horikita.

Once our group is decided, would you have a match with me?

Stop this joke already.

What's the point of having a match between the 2nd and 3rd years?

I'm just hoping for a battle between the former student council president

and the current student council president.

I just want to see if I can surpass you before you graduate and are gone.

What, do you intend to make it a match?

Horikita.

I want to see which group can get a higher average score.

Simple, right?

I see.

Then I don't mind accepting your challenge.

However, don't involve the other students.

So, it's a game of tacit understanding.

That's fine.

There's no penalty for losing.

It's just a fight for pride.

I can't believe big brother accepted such a match.

The current student council president, Miyabi Nagumo...

he seems very confident.

Hey, is this for real?

This room is so small.

Are the nine of us going to sleep together here?

Well, let's get along.

I'll take the other end, then.

Wait.

Why are you talking so selfishly?

We should decide through discussion.

Huh? What's your problem, Yukimura?

You're acting all high just because you're in charge of this group.

It looks like that fight took a toll on him.

Then I'll take the center without hesitation.

What?

Hey!

We should discuss this, Koenji!

This is my best position, you know.

And you guys can choose your favorite place too.

I don't think we can have discussion here.

It's going to be tough, I guess.

You seem to have something to say, Yahiko.

You should already know that, Hashimoto.

We're Class A classmates, but I don't have any trust in you.

I figured.

-But now we're in the same group. -Don't use all the futons.

-We'll see about that. -At least, please don't sit there.

Different from other groups, our group is a miscellany of rascals.

It's going to be hard for us to build solidarity.

It's unusual to see you this tired, Ichinose.

Ayanokoji. Hello there.

I'm sorry.

I'm having a bit of a hard time with the groupings.

You see, girls have very clear likes and dislikes about people.

Don't get too worked up about it.

It's okay.

My cheerfulness is my only good point after all.

Come to think of it,

this cafeteria is the only place where boys and girls can be together.

It feels like a scheme by the school.

Scheme?

Yes.

It's clearly a space that is set up for info sharing and giving instructions.

I see.

Honami!

I'd like to talk to you about something!

What is it?

The strong ones here are those with good communication skills

and who can be trusted.

Hey, Kushida, do you want to have dinner with us?

I'm sorry.

I'm in the middle of a strategy meeting with Horikita for our class right now.

Is that so?

See you later.

So, did you deliberately join the same group

to keep an eye on me?

Or is it because you want me to recognize you as my ally?

Yes, I won't deny that was my intention.

If that's the case, then I hope you understand that it's all for naught.

I want you to trust me.

That's very honest of you.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible.

I won't speak of your past to anyone else, no matter what.

I don't see the merit in doing that!

You're probably right.

If I get desperate and destroy the class like I did in middle school,

you'll be in trouble for reaching Class A, right?

-Then... -But, you see...

I'm in a tight spot right now.

If someone put a knife in my neck and told me to cooperate with them,

would I honestly obey them?

You're a smart student.

That's why you can help our class if you can cooperate.

-You'll be more appreciated... -Your words.

Can't you understand that the way you pretend to know everything irritates me?

I'll be quiet for a while.

But unless one of us, me or you,

goes from this school, this conversation won't happen.

I'm so helpless.

How can I be like my brother?

What the heck is that noise?

So noisy.

Are they waking us up this early in the morning?

Hey, Koenji is gone. Where'd he go?

What?

If any of us is missing, our points will be deducted!

Hey, good morning, fellas.

There's nothing better than early morning training, is there?

Training?

Don't act on your own!

Don't keep getting carried away.

Shouldn't you be heading to the meeting place

rather than worrying about me?

You Showa delinquent.

Bring it on, you punk!

Save your fighting for later!

Shut up! It's this guy's fault for being late!

You're such a one-track-minded person. That's why you're failing to Class D.

What did you say?

Let's cool down a bit.

If equipment is broken in a fight, it's a liability issue.

And if your face is swollen, he will be questioned.

Am I right?

And you, Mr. Glasses.

What's your name?

I'm Yukimura.

Yes, as Yukimura said, we don't have much time.

We should eat breakfast,

and if you still don't calm down, do whatever you want.

Am I wrong?

You got a chance to extend your life a little, Koenji.

Well, that's good. I'm a pacifist, you know.

Come on, we should gather.

As expected from Sakayanagi's companion.

He's really excellent at leadership.

We must clean up the vast grounds in the morning.

Not only the inside of the facility,

but also the surrounding area must be done.

And...

Then we had to do Zen meditation for spiritual training.

It's only for a short time though.

Posture and manners are strictly checked during this training.

Unfamiliar group life.

Unaccustomed to special classes.

No wonder some students are exhausted.

Wang Mei-Yu.

Yes!

Shiina.

If you're nervous, you'll be extra tired.

It's because you're surrounded by people you don't usually have contact with.

I don't think so.

It's natural to be confused when you're suddenly asked by someone to be friends.

Yep, just as Shiina said.

If you try to force yourself, you will only fall.

That's a very interesting way to express it.

So let's pace ourselves little by little.

Yes! Thank you!

Ichinose.

You don't have to be so formal with me.

Then I'd like you to call me Mii.

That's what everyone calls me.

Yep. I'm looking forward to working with you, Mii.

Me too.

I'm hungry!

-We can finally meet girls. -I'm really hungry!

My bad.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Don't worry about it.

Well... I'm going to leave.

Yes.

Please don't mind me.

You know, Sakayanagi is cute, but she's a bit clumsy, isn't she?

You're a real jerk, after what you did to her.

Are you all right?

You don't need to worry about me.

I'll tell Yamauchi later.

He didn't mean to do it.

He only knocked me down once.

While I've declared that I'll destroy you, seems it will have to wait.

After all, I have decided to destroy Class B first.

Class B is a class that has strong solidarity.

You could say that's because Honami Ichinose has done her best

to live up to the trust of her fellow friends.

She holds a large number of private points,

probably because she has been entrusted with the role of class treasurer.

But...

POINT TRANSFER IN PROGRESS

Is it really okay to leave those points with her?

I don't think Ichinose would spend all her points.

Yes, you may be right.

But every human being...

has two...

different sides.

I look forward to the time when I can confront you directly.

What is it?

What are you going to do

if you drop a note like this and someone else picks it up?

You wouldn't make such a mistake, would you?

Well, yeah, I guess.

So, what is it?

You want to ask for my help already?

That's right.

I want you to keep an eye on the people I'm going to tell you about.

It sounds hard, but I'll give it a try.

But this exam...

could be rough.

So far,

I've been taking measures to poke loopholes in special exams.

On the uninhabited island,

I retired Horikita and switched the leaders.

In the cruise ship test, I used the cell phone trick.

At the sports festival, I dared to act conspicuously.

I also set up a countermeasure against Kushida in the paper shuffle.

But this time...

I never thought that you would contact me.

Do you know why I called you here?

It's about Nagumo, right?

That's right.

He's already taken over the whole 2nd year.

So what do you want me to do?

You... owe me a favor.

Just like we agreed, I want you to go up against Nagumo.

You can bring Suzune into the student council,

and you can continue to direct things from behind the scenes as before.

That's quite a crazy idea.

Of course, I don't expect you to do what I want just because you owe me a favor.

I have very little information about the upperclassmen, you know.

Let me introduce you to my informant.

He has been appointed vice president.

Ikuto Kiriyama, from 2nd Year, Class B.

On the surface, he follows Nagumo's lead, but he's my collaborator.

Let me tell you something, Ayanokoji.

I'm really doubtful of your power.

But I have to go by the word of Senior Horikita.

Sorry for all the trouble, Kiriyama.

Don't be. I will keep the tradition I inherited from you.

Nagumo is trying to overturn the basis of this school with his dominance.

Perhaps next year's expulsions will be unprecedented in number.

I see.

By the way, how is the match between you and Nagumo?

If things go well, there will be no problem.

Is it possible that Nagumo will renege on his promise

not to involve a third party?

Certainly, Nagumo will choose any means.

But he has never broken a promise that he's made.

He might lose...

that Manabu Horikita.

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 war 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 bullet?

Well-executed 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
