[Hello Debate Opponent Season 2]

[You are best]

Classmate, what does "debate" mean to you?

To me, it means clouds and mountains.

It means the other end of the cloud and mountain.

Join our Debate Team B!

I thought you were Team A.

Sorry.

Classmate, life is more than just the present.

There is also debate and distant places to explore.

Debate? Aren't you the Manga Society?

We can also talk about manga first.

If you have a friend afar who knows your heart.

- Distance can't keep you— - You don't need to finish it.

If you can take my elective course, then I will join your society.

But I'm a teacher.

Bye.

Why do you sit here?

There is no one, right?

I'll accompany you.

[Episode 7]

- I brought some gossip. - What you got?

Stop it. I have asked the director.

He said when Ma Nan was in Year 1,

he used to be the golden 4th Debater of the Department of Law. He has never lost a competition.

But nobody knows why he didn't join the team in the 2nd semester of his Year 1.

He totally quit in his Year 2.

I heard the school has tried to persuade him many times but it didn't work.

He was so famous? How come nobody knows?

It's normal. When Sister Xiao Hao just entered college, Ma Nan was in Year 3 already.

- His fame had already died down. - Then come on!

Ask him to be the fourth debater, then we can beat Team A!

Didn't you hear he is the invincible 4th debater?

How can Nan Bei convince him?

You can say my debating skill is not good.

But you can't say I don't know how to fool others.

When people who take a shortcut like you meet this kind of stubborn person,

- you don't know what to do, do you? - Let me get this done.

What are you doing?

Ma Nan says meditation is the latest way to maintain health.

It can be a miracle healing power.

It can also change the structure of the brain.

In this way, I can understand art.

I can follow Jingwen's topic.

Look at you two.

Let's not talk about College English Test Level 4.

You are not even qualified to finish the 9-year compulsory education.

Here you go.

You are good. I can sell for ¥200 at most.

I must try my best to work for you.

Take this as my gift for you.

- What do you want me to do? - I'll give it a shot.

Now my debate team...

is in danger.

I want to ask you to make an appearance

to be our 4th debater.

- Ma Nan, you can debate? - See?

Brother Ma's character setting is unfathomable.

You don't understand, right?

You did well in collecting intelligence.

But I'm not interested.

- W-Why? - I'm in my 5th year.

I can't even graduate. Debate? Debate what?

Ma Nan, sign up for the English exam quickly!

Old Li visited again. (T/N: Old Li, Director Li.)

Right. Right. Sign up for the exam first. This is more urgent.

- We'll talk about the debate later, okay? - No!

It doesn't work. You can't find a good job without a graduation certificate.

It doesn't work. If you can't find a job, then you can't buy a house!

It doesn't work, if you don't have a house, then you don't have a wife.

Is this everything after graduation?

I think you are still too young.

I'll give you an example. What will happen after graduation?

A few thousand RMB a month, not enough for me.

You still need to get more money from your parents.

Also, the great hope they hold for you from everywhere,

it's much worse than now.

How can you know if you don't try?

As far as I see,

I believe you can do a great job with your career.

Yes. You know only after you try.

But we will try sooner or later.

What's the rush?

I can stay here for 7 years.

7 years! I can graduate at that time if I want.

Enjoy your scenery.

Go date some beauties.

Do you have girlfriends?

Not yet.

Right?

What are you thinking about? Sleep!

Can I refund my exam fee?

I'm a nobody.

Why did you ask me to come here at midnight?

You thought too much, okay?

Because these two books are not for circulation. And they are always occupied by others in during the day.

Don't find an excuse. Why did it have to be me?

Nonsense! Who else can I ask?

You are the only non-girl on our team.

You have to protect me if something happens, right?

Don't worry. If there is something that happens,

I will definitely run faster than you.

Look at you. Have you figured out how to persuade Ma Nan?

No English exam. No 4th debater.

Do nothing. He doesn't know what he wants.

How many points did he get before?

Director Li said that he never took it.

Is he afraid after he takes the test,

if he fails, then he can't get the graduation certificate. Is it a psychological disorder?

He is afraid to have the certificate once he passes the exam.

He is afraid of graduation.

It can't be true.

Our school is good indeed.

But we can't stay here forever. It's not a long plan for the future.

We really need to change him.

But he has too many problems. I really don't know where to start.

Then figure out what happened to him.

Why has he become like this. Then take the appropriate steps.

Make sense!

I will try next time.

What are you doing?

What did you do just now!

What were you thinking about?

- Don't move! - You are pointing to me!

- Don't get physical! - What? It's you!

What are you doing, Xiao Qing? Didn't we decide to watch a drama together? Why are you studying now?

- I'm done for. - What's up?

I'm going to fail College English Test Level 4.

This is easier than the college entrance exam. What are you worried about?

Seriously! I just did a past exam paper.

After one year in college,

our English level is outrageously low now!

Really?

How about Fanfan? Did she do the paper?

Yes. I just passed.

Even you just passed?

Then let alone me.

What she did is Level 6.

- You can do it! - You broke my heart.

How about we give up this time?

I'm not going.

Don't be so pessimistic.

You can always find a way to pass the exam.

Ma Nan, what's your plan for this exam?

- Comic Festival. - Comic Festival?

- Do you have tickets? - I have 3. Join me?

Stop struggling.

The honor of our school will be ruined by you two sooner or later.

It will never be our turn if you are here.

You two stay here and study.

I'm going outside for a walk.

Tao Hao,

do you need something?

Senior, is that you?

I heard from Director Li.

He said you were very well known in your freshman year of college.

You weren't just really good at debating, you were also the Student Council President.

Three club presidents and also got the National Scholarship.

Everyone had high hopes for you.

But they didn't know why

after the freshman year of college,

you quit all of the stuff you were in.

You withdrew from the debate team.

You even deleted all the pictures in your Moments. (Moment is social media feed on WeChat)

And then...

you started ditching classes.

Failing classes leading to being held back a year.

What are you trying to say?

Why did you suddenly become so inactive?

Inactive?

I don't think it's being inactive.

I just thought of a new way to exist.

Besides sleeping and playing games,

you don't have any other hobbies,

You don't make friends, nor do you attend class.

You don't even take your exams seriously. You got held back.

You might not even graduate.

Is this your choice of living?

Is there a problem?

Don't you think you are wasting your life?

What kind of meaning is there to live like that?

Meaning?

What do you think is meaningful?

Great rounds of applause, being one of the best,

or finding a decent job after graduation.

The cost of being impeccably dressed is not cheap.

Constantly feasting and having big drinking parties.

Don't you think this is basically

as if you are on a treadmill that never stops?

You have no other choice but to

run mechanically and desperately forward.

For a person to be taken so high with achievements,

to prevent from falling,

you must keep running and aim higher.

And so it's a cycle.

Do you think this is the meaning of life?

I remember one summer,

I had a friend.

Drowned from swimming.

He often went to that lake.

No one would know that lake more than him.

Don't you think it's ridiculous?

We are so small and clueless.

But we choose to think that we are on the summit of a mountain.

Where we measure each other determining each other's value.

That's what they would call meaning.

I've hated living like that for a long time.

Once you start looking for meaning,

you've already been killed by the idea of meaning.

You have been life-bound to that endless treadmill.

Stopping is to give up on finding meaning.

So...

So...

I decided to get off the treadmill.

What time is it?

Do you have a plan? The first team in our classroom said to you that

"If you want this classroom, you must get there before 8:00 a.m.

Lunchtime is from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m, and you can use the classroom after midnight."

Oh my god, why is it so dark?

You guys are here.

Sister Xiao Hao, why are you here?

What are you doing?

I researched all of the first team's competitions before the league matches.

And finally, I found a Qiu Yi Cup debate tournament.

Qiu Yi Cup?

That sounds pretty serious.

Yes. It's not as high of a level as the Coal Cup we participated in last week.

However, the School of Finance also signed up.

Really?

Who is it?

The top four in last year's provincial tournament?

The top four? How could they have signed up for this kind of competition?

I don't know. My hand must have slipped.

It's not important as long as we win.

We're going to become famous!

We won't have to look at the first team's faces again.

But they're the top four? How are we going to win?

I don't think that's a problem as long as we

are able to fix Ma Nan.

That's it?

Yes. That's it.

So, there weren't any of the huge changes like Mitsui Shou that you imagined, and there weren't any family issues.

He's gotten used to it already.

If someone is lazy, that's also pretty scary.

It's hard to say, he doesn't think he's lazy.

He just thinks that it's better to live if he

just sleeps and plays games compared to back then.

I've always felt that if one has a good foundation, then when one wants to fix things, it'll happen.

I didn't expect that in senior year,

when classmates around us had already started preparing their graduation theses and looking for jobs that

he'd already gotten used to it.

He once did have the thought of getting it together.

But he was immediately defeated by inertia.

When he finally thought that he'd received the ultimate judgment of not being allowed to graduate,

guess what he did.

Graduation can be delayed.

This kind of lifestyle can go on.

That's right.

That's normal.

He doesn't even care about graduating, why would he come and help us in a debate?

That's not definite.

He was once a person that had hopes for his life.

He's not hard to save.

No one wants to be useless for life.

So if we can get him to face graduation,

that could also mean he can go back to how he was.

Our problem also gets solved, too.

Brother!

I'll go give it a try.

There's no way. It's a portrayal of life.

Isn't it still the starting point? It's like this.

Let's take part in a big one. I'm going to win, and you'll be able to report up for senior year.

If I win, you come and join our debate team and help us.

Participating in four debates will lead us onward to victory, all right?

- No. - I don't care, you can only pick one or the other.

I pick C. Normally when in doubt, choose C.

What's wrong with you? You display fear of graduation.

- Will that really work? - And I say, are you really that annoying?

Are you bored? Don't you have a girlfriend?

Have you ever debated Liu Yanze before? Are you a senior yet?

Since we know each other, might as well go to sleep early.

I think of you as a bro.

The two of us have slept in the same room, and we met by chance!

I'm not playing anymore. I'm leaving.

He won.

What time is it?

6:00 p.m.

I'm tired.

Let's flip to page 102 of the text.

Let's look over the passage from last week.

Let's look at the first question.

Why does William Boulder say that nationality

makes no difference for him. Who knows?

Where are we?

- Do you understand? - Nonsense.

Let me ask you. Do you have time

to quickly go back to the dorm and review for your Level 4 exam?

Why are you always coming to my class?

He's taking the class with you.

I had difficulties getting Ma Nan to come out from hiding.

You failed?

You regard him as the best debater for no reason.

Listen to me. He probably just doesn't want to go get it together.

It's just that his current state illustrates that he is in his own league a little bit.

And if you can't outsmart him, then you need to get tough!

He's usually very cheap,

it's not impossible for him to be like that. I'll try.

Does anyone know the answer?

What about the student in the yellow shirt? Yes, you.

I pick C.

This is a free answer question.

I... I'll pick C. Whatever I don't know, I'll pick C.

Forget it. Sit down.

It's Team A's training time.

I'm not here for training.

I'm here to see you.

These are the butter cookie that I made for you.

I misunderstood you and senior sister Qiu Linyan.

I've said some awful things. Please don't take it to heart.

It's nothing. I also went too far, too.

- There won't be people singing and dancing happily in front of me anyway. - I understand. I understand.

Xiaoyu often says I'm too dramatic.

So, take the cookies.

Let's just make peace.

No need.

I don't eat snacks.

Are you still angry at me?

Put them on the table.

You are eating cookies?

I remember you never eat sweets.

It's probably theirs.

I'm hungry. So I took one.

Who bought it? It's tasty.

Is it? It's just a normal cookie.

Boys like you don't understand sweets.

By the way, have you gotten the intelligence of our rival for the next competition?

All done.

Didn't you go to help the junior sisters with the charity bazaar?

Why are you making these buttons here?

To sell them.

How much can these buttons sell for?

The wholesale price is ¥25 each and sells for ¥50.

You think we attend college based on the result of a lucky draw?

You don't understand this. Have you watched a Japanese drama?

From the top to bottom of your shirt,

the second bottom is the closest to the heart.

If I give this to a girl,

it's like I give my heart to her.

Surprisingly,

there exists a girl willing to spend ¥50 to get your heart.

She should check if her brain is okay.

Believe it or not.

- What are you thinking about? - I'm very confused

if I should sign up for the exam for Ma Nan.

- But I'm afraid he will be pissed with me. - What are you afraid of?

I think maybe Ma Nan also wants to sign up.

Because our persuasion was awesome.

So he's gotten a little motivation.

You can help him if you think we should.

I have to sell the buttons.

I need to go first.

What are you doing?

If I say I'm looking for

the second button on your clothes, would you believe it?

Yes. ¥50, right?

[Welcome, Ma Nan.]

[Name, ID, Phone Number]

I...

I won't force you. Let's talk about the 4th debater later.

But you must take the English exam. I can't see you decline as your bro.

You will be useless if you keep being like this!

I have a question for you. Do I have the right to be useless?

You think about competing with Team A all the time. Not a problem. I have nothing to say.

But let me tell you. The way I'm living is much better than how you are living.

I'm here eating and waiting for death and living my life. What is it to you guys to have so many opinions?

Also, you want to compete with Team A. In my opinion, it's useless.

It's like an egg crashing itself against a rock.

Get real and don't struggle in vain. Do you understand?

M-M-Ma Nan,

are you upset?

No, it's not worthwhile.

The next competition's topic is here.

Should young people jump out of the comfort zone?

It's an old debate topic.

Comfort zone? It's a popular word.

A Comfort zone means someone who stays in a familiar environment for a long time.

He contacts all the familiar people and things. He rejects all challenges and possibilities.

He lives a carefree life thus life is like an invisible zone for him.

It's not that complicated.

It's an environment that makes you comfortable.

The key is he can command everything.

But this comfortable sensation from self-comforting and people's laziness,

will make us change easily.

As long as he steps out of this zone,

he will be faced with all kinds of challenges and choices. So he will flinch.

Naturally, he will step back to his own comfort zone.

Rejecting stepping out and progress, isn't it a cozy nest?

What's wrong with cozy nest? Is it a problem?

No problem. But I always feel it's not a positive word.

I think so. If you always stay with yourself in a cozy nest,

then your own challenges and development will also stop.

Thus, the difficulties and challenges you are facing will become more and more.

The comfort zone will get smaller and smaller, right?

On the contrary,

if he jumps out of the comfort zone and gets used to discomfort,

then he will make himself comfortable again.

Then the comfort zone will get bigger.

It's a cycle.

Have you found out we were talking about someone?

Ma Nan.

He can't be more typical.

He is stuck in his own comfort zone. He can't escape himself.

Also, he keeps brainwashing himself. He makes himself believe that he is right.

It's just justifying himself.

What if we can solve the problem for him?

Maybe he can join the debate team to help us.

Makes sense!

Then, who is the best candidate to talk to him?

Let me try.

Since you cut me some slack in the assembly hall last time,

I will listen to you talk while eating noodles. Go ahead.

Senior Brother Ma Nan, I want to talk about joining our debate team with you.

Excuse me, I need to answer the phone.

- Xiao Hao. - Director Li, what's up?

- Where did you put the document yesterday? - Document?

I put it on the second layer of the first bookcase.

- I saw it. - Good. Call me if you need me.

Thank you.

Senior Brother, actually there are many advantages of joining the debate team.

Excuse me.

Hello, Weiwei, what's wrong?

- Sister Xiao Hao? - Why are you crying?

Calm down. Tell me what's wrong?

- He blocked me! - Why?

- He also deleted me. - You have to figure out a way. Try to talk to him.

How about I send a message? I will ask him to add you back.

We can only do this now.

I will keep you updated.

- Hello? - Xiao Hao?

The teacher said in the class that we needed to hand in the PowerPoint next week. Do you still remember?

I remember. It's about the case study of foreign acquisition.

- There are too many reference books. Do you have some? - Yes...

I checked in the library. The library has them.

My event finishes around 10:00.

The library is almost closed, right?

I will go to borrow them in a bit.

Do we need to hand it in next Monday, don't we?

Did you buy the tickets for the excursion for me and my roommates, right?

- What is the itinerary? - Leave on the day after tomorrow. Come back on Sunday.

It seems I don't have enough time.

Then I won't go on the trip.

You can go!

I can help you with the PowerPoint.

Thank you!

It's all right.

You've finished?

PowerPoint expert charges ¥500 per file. If there is anyone asking you to make one, don't forget to charge him.

Excuse me. She will pay the bill.

Invoice, please.

There are those days every month.

I have been thinking for the whole day. I want to give up on persuading Ma Nan to be our 4th debater.

You've taken to our enemy so soon?

Think about it. From his perspective, even if he has become useless,

being muddleheaded and accomplishing nothing are wrong.

But does he have the right to be useless?

Why not?

He doesn't have it!

How much does the country spend to cultivate him?

How much time have his parents put in to raise him?

How much effort have the teachers taken to educate him?

Now he finds an excuse to be lazy. Can he be forgiven?

Why did you laugh? Was I not mean enough to you?

Listen to me.

What part of Ma Nan's Hippy-like and discouraging theory

system is the most scary?

He is scared of people like you.

Social justice warrior with a one-track mind.

I mean your theory.

I think you can do it. You give it a try.

For our team, I will try my best.

Shut the gate and release the fishes.

Senior Brother, good morning.

- Do you come here to bring breakfast to Nan Bei? - No. I came to give it to you.

To me?

Thank you. See you.

Senior Brother, let's talk a bit?

- You are also here to persuade me to join the debate team? - Yes.

I saw you have no contact with anyone. You don't get along with anyone. How Lonely!

Come to our debate team. You will feel good with friends.

Why should I get along well with others?

- People are social animals. - But being independent is also possible.

There are all kinds of people in this world. Their goal is to acquire the rights to live and live better.

Survival of the fittest in natural selection. There is no right and wrong. There is also no brightness and darkness.

Survival is good and honorable.

Everyone forms this colorful world.

Then the world will become better. Everyone lives here

and works hard for our goals with our capabilities.

Do you understand me?

Senior Brother Ma Nan is so scary.

I started to doubt myself.

- Should I have joined the debate team or not? - Yes.

Every time I talk to him, I also feel like I want to lie down without doing anything.

Ma Nan is so good at brainwashing.

Look at you guys.

Are you exaggerating?

Looks like it's my turn.

Tuanzi, think it over.

Ma Nan is really good at brainwashing people.

It's okay. Let me deal with him.

[30 minutes later]

The water moves the flowers.

The flowers shake the water.

They both are unintentional.

But they influence each other twice.

Tuanzi, are you all right?

Yu'er, tell me.

In this vast universe,

we humans are as tiny as a grain of sand.

We were born to

end. We will go back to nothingness.

Living... What does living mean?

-Tuanzi, are you...? - Xiaoyu?

Tell me what we humans mean to the world?

Does our will exist?

There is the end of the universe?

What's the secret of the universe?

Who can tell me?

Tuanzi, what did Ma Nan say to you? It's all in your head, right?

Abandon it! Don't think about it.

Xiaoyu, look at the sunshine today.

I want to enjoy the sun.

Bye.

What can we do, Sister Xiao Hao?

She has been tricked by him.

Ma Nan's brainwashing ability is too strong.

He is like a black hole. He absorbs all the light.

As long as the person is weak-minded, then he or she will be brainwashed by him.

Every time I talk with him, I will be taken into his logic.

Then he persuaded me by his deep understanding of this theory.

But we are all debaters. As debaters,

we can't help but think about the logic of others' words.

Once we try to reason with him, we will be taken into his thinking.

Then we start to be deeply affected by his words.

He is really difficult to deal with.

To deal with Ma Nan, we can't listen to what he says.

We should make our brain like a stone.

Hard and stubborn.

Our brains are not big enough to retort him.

Then, are you talking about an idiot?

No.

He cannot be an idiot.

He must be a pure and innocent person.

His mind is as firm as the sun.

His heart is as passionate as volcano.

In this way, he won't be swallowed by Ma Nan.

Does this person exist?

Classmates, are you also jogging here?

It's so good to be young!

Don't be shy. Let's compete. I will chase you!
