Tomorrow...
I'm thinking of holding a practical training session!
A practical training session?!
What's that? I'm looking forward to it!
Where are we going?
To a forest near the Academy.
Also, I'm thinking that we should make lunch over there
to make it feel like we're camping.
Wow!
Now then, everyone...
I know it's sudden,
but let's split up into teams of three.
I'm so nervous!
We WILL be on the same team!
I hope I'm on the same team with Miss Kae...
All right!
I will now announce the results of the draws!
TEAM A: KAE HIMAWARI SOSHA
I'm so excited!
TEAM B: HARIKA SOUL KAWAKI
I'm with Kawaki?
OSUKA
EHOU
TEAM C: SUZU
EIKI
NEON
TEAM D: KURA
Miss Kae...
TEAM E: KANDE
MIMI
KONASHI
TEAM F: DOSEKI
RAN
YUINA
Gotta give it my all.
All right, everyone.
Once you graduate from the Academy,
you'll form three-man teams and take on missions.
And so, during this practical training session,
I want you to work with your teammates
to strengthen your teamwork skills.
Yes, ma'am!
We're gonna be separated, huh?
It's the first time we'll be apart, huh?
Team Rivalry: Practical Skills Training!
Since we'll be outside of the Academy,
I think guarding Miss Kae will be a little tough.
You're right.
But I'm on the same team as her, so don't worry!
Just so you know, this is my mission...
Huh? Let me help you!
I think I've been pretty helpful so far, you know...
Also, Hana Sensei said that teamwork is important.
I think we make a pretty good team.
Right?
Look,
make sure Kae doesn't find out I'm on a mission protecting her.
Yeah, I know that.
Now, let's begin the training session.
This is my first training session.
Isn't this exciting?
Yeah.
I had a hard time sleeping yesterday.
Me too!
Shh! Could you please stop talking?
I'm sorry.
First, please decide who will be the leader of your team.
We've gotta go with Miss Kae, right?
Huh? Me?
Yeah, I agree with Sosha!
That's a good idea!
In that case, I'm going to try my best!
Why don't we spar and make the strongest person the leader?
That's stupid!
What's the point in using up your strength
before the training session, Soul?
Anyway, why don't we just go by seniority?
Seniority?
I mean, compared to us, Kawaki... you're a senior... citizen...
Right?
Hey! Don't treat me like I'm an old man—!
I heard you were strong,
so you should easily be able to handle this training session!
Oh, that makes sense! We're counting on you, Leader.
Wait a minute!
Don't decide things without—
Glad to be working with ya!
We're counting on you, Kawaki!
I totally got stuck with an annoying team!
Huh?
Oh, Umm...
As I mentioned yesterday,
I'll be giving out points to each team as a whole.
The team who does the best
will receive a nice present from me!
Everyone, please try your best!
What is it, Konashi?
I'm not on the same team as Miss Kae, but...
All right! I'm going to take first place!
I can't afford to lose! I'll show you my true strength!
One more thing! It's dangerous if you go deeper into this forest,
so try to avoid doing that!
Yes, ma'am!
This is a drill to control chakra.
I'm sure that all of you will eventually be able to do this.
I'll explain the rules.
Once you grab a flag and bring it back,
the next person will start, just like a relay race.
The team that gets the most flags will receive points.
All right, ready?
Begin!
Piece of cake!
As an elite member of the Fuuma Clan...
this is easy!
That's amazing, Eiki!
I'm going too!
Oh! Thank you, Himawari.
Are you all right?
Uh-huh.
All right, one more time!
Hey, Kawaki, we can't proceed unless you climb up quick.
Uh, sorry.
Quit dawdling!
I'll announce the results!
The team that got the most flags...
was Team C, led by Eiki.
Well done!
All right!
We did it!
In second place is Team A, led by Kae.
You were great during the last leg!
All right!
In third place is Team D, led by Osuka.
Team A managed to surpass you at the very last moment.
We were so close to getting second place!
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it, Ehou.
Side-eye...
We're in last place...
We're being judged as a team, so don't drag us down, okay?
We're counting on you next time!
Hup!
Whoa!
Oh, missed again.
You're making this difficult!
Hold the very end of the shuriken and...
Is it an enemy?!
Stand back, Miss Kae!
Oh, it's just a rabbit!
So cute!
It's dangerous, so go over there!
Damn it.
Oh!
Huh?
Get it together!
First place is...
Team A!
All right! We're on top!
Yeah! It's all thanks to you, Himawari.
It's because we all worked together!
This time, our team is in second place.
Don't you realize we only let you have this one?
You think you've beaten us?
Huh? You were trying really hard to throw those!
Side-eye...
I can't give you any points for Kawaki...
Now then, let's make lunch together!
Start by putting down some stones,
then place some wood in the center and light a fire.
This is nothing!
Whoa!
I'll hand out the ingredients to make curry.
I want all of you to work together to make a delicious curry.
Yes, ma'am!
I've included the recipe with the ingredients.
Yes, ma'am!
Curry...
Have you never had it?
You've really had a royal upbringing,
haven't you, Princess?
No, of course I've had curry before.
I've just never made it myself.
I've heard rumors
that you have famous chefs from all over the world
make meals for you at your palace, right?
That's an exaggeration.
We have the recipe that Hana Sensei wrote,
so let's follow that!
Okay!
All right!
Hey, you're letting her use a knife?!
Don't let her get injured!
You're so sensitive to onions!
Oh?!
She's—!
Look out, Kae! Are you all right?
Himawari...
I'll take care of the onions!
Thank you...
Damn it.
Miss Kae...
Yes?
So, I was thinking...
I think that guy is totally going after you.
What do you mean by "going after"?
Huh? W-What?
Kawaki?!
Answer me!
Hey! You're too close!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Hold on a second, Kawaki. It's not what you think!
What do you mean?
Come with me for a sec!
Ugh...
Who's going after Kae?
It's Eiki...
That bastard! I knew it!
It's not like that!
She's saying Eiki might like Miss Kae!
Huh? What's that about?
It's just gossiping about crushes and stuff!
"Going after" means something different!
Hey, I've been wondering about those bugs...
Huh?
What are they?!
Oh! Kawaki?!
Himawari...
Huh?
The curry's done.
Did something happen?
I hope Kawaki's okay...
Oh, it's nothing.
Let's hurry up and eat!
Yeah!
Good job.
They were your bugs?
Never mind that. Kawaki...
...you were supposed to be in charge of cooking the rice.
So, where is it? Did you even start cooking it?
Oh... Well... umm...
Honestly!
Since you didn't, we went ahead and did it ourselves!
S-Sorry.
I had no idea that you were so useless.
Since you're not suited to being the leader,
let's trade off.
Huh? Okay.
Our new leader is Harika.
We've already gotten permission from Hana Sensei.
Well, we were responsible for forcing you into the role.
Here you go! This is your share.
My share?
Eat this and make sure you take
this afternoon's training sessions seriously!
Uh-huh!
Thank you.
It's so good!
Of course it is!
We have lots more for seconds!
Eat lots!
So good!
I ate so much...
Make sure you take care of the clean up!
Kawaki!
Hey, he ran away again!
Kae's gone?!
While we were cleaning up...
I'm sorry...
Anyway, let's split up and look for her.
Okay!
Mimi, Kande!
Have you seen Miss Kae?
I saw her go that way earlier.
Thanks!
Be careful!
Hana Sensei said that it's dangerous
to go deeper into the forest!
Okay!
Hey!
What happened?
Miss Kae... Miss Kae's—!
It's all my fault!
What happened?!
I'D LIKE YOUR ADVICE ON SOMETHING PLEASE COME TO THE BIG TREE IN THE FOREST
"I'd like your advice on something..."
I wonder who it's from.
Miss Kae!
Thank goodness! You were here!
Oh, it was you, Himawari?
What did you want my advice on?
Huh?
I called Miss Kae out to ask her for some advice,
but along the way to the meeting spot,
I saw a flame bear!
So, you ran away?
What about Kae?
I don't know...
Why did you call Kae out anyway?
There's an upcoming sweets competition.
So, I wanted her opinion on my creations.
Come to think of it, you were passing out sweets
during the flower viewing party.
Yeah, my family owns a sweets shop.
It's been in our family for generations.
NERIKIRI-YA
My parents are sweets artisans and shinobi at the same time.
I also want to be the best at both!
That's why I'm improving my sweets-making skills
while I study at the Academy!
What does that have to do with Kae?
I wanted her advice, so I could win the competition.
Miss Kae seems like someone who always eats delicious sweets.
Her impressions the other day were so spot on.
I wanted her to sample them and ask her for her opinion, but...
When it came down to it, I was too shy to ask her for
her thoughts on the sweets I made in front of everyone.
I understand what you're saying,
but why did you have to do this today?
The deadline for the competition is tomorrow!
Damn it!
Anyway, if you called her out, you can't just run away on your own.
Miss Kae!
Okay!
Miss Kae, hurry!
Kawaki!
Wind Style: Flower Storm!
I'll be the decoy, so go!
Sensei—!
Take Kae and go! Hurry!
Okay!
Let's go, Miss Kae!
Wind Style: Scattering Blossoms!
Himawari!
Oh! Kawaki!
Were you attacked by the flame bear?
I just fell.
Himawari has been protecting me this entire time, so I'm okay!
Let's get out of here quick!
Okay...
But Hana Sensei...
She let us get away.
She's fighting the flame bear right now...
Wind Style: Scattering Blossoms!
Why are you struggling with this?!
You two!
Stand back, you guys!
It's too dangerous!
Let's run away for the time being.
No, I'll defeat it right now.
A-Amazing!
He defeated it without backing down!
Thank you. You saved us, Kawaki.
Damn it, pull yourself together.
You're a teacher, aren't you?
Mr. Kawaki!
You're so cool!
O-Oh.
I won't ever be embarrassed or run away anymore.
I'm so sorry.
I called you out, but I ran away.
It's fine.
So, you were the one who wrote that letter.
What did you need advice on?
I'm sure he's gonna confess his love!
No... way!
Umm...
These are some sweets that I made.
I want to get your thoughts on them!
Huh? Okay! I'll try them!
Oh!
What? It's good!
The colors are beautiful and the design is splendid.
It's delicious!
The sweetness is kept in check, giving it such a refined flavor!
I'm glad I took this head-on and didn't run away,
just like you, Kawaki!
Kawaki!
Did I just hear talk about someone taking something head-on
without running away?
I feel like you've been running away
this entire day, Kawaki...
You bastard!
Take this! One more!
Come back here!
Ready?
Begin!
Huh?
First place, Kawaki!
W-What is it?
That's amazing, Kawaki!
You took first place by a long margin!
What the heck?! You really can do it if you try!
You should have been serious from the start.
Amazing! Amazing!
What the heck, man?!
I'll announce the results.
The winner is...
Team A, led by Miss Kae!
The three of you did very well.
CONGRATULATIONS
I'm glad I was on the same team as you both!
Yeah!
Sorry about today.
After all I said about us making a good team...
I wasn't any help, was I?
You know...
You did good.
You managed to protect Kae, after all.
On the other hand, that teacher...
Are you talking about Hana Sensei?
She fought so hard to protect us, didn't she?
Still, if you can't take down a bear,
what's the point?
Is it okay for a teacher to be like that?
I don't think that's the case at all.
Master Kawaki!
Huh?
What? Master?
Please let me call you that!
I'll learn about making sweets from my parents.
At the Academy, I'll consider you my master and do my very best!
Give me a break.
Good grief.
Kawaki, have you seen Himawari?
I thought she went shopping with you.
We were supposed to,
but she didn't show up at our meeting spot,
so I'm looking for her.
It's been a while since she left the Academy.
It's not like Himawari to break a promise.
You don't think she got involved in anything, do you?
