W. Whewell
Thanks, Hirata-kun.
Kushida-san... is a traitor?
There shouldn't have been a way to figure out the VIP in the last test.
And I can't imagine you or Hirata would have revealed that she was the VIP.
Of course not.
You really are amazing!
But what if Kushida herself revealed it?
Impossible.
There'd be nothing in it for her.
We can't say that for sure.
Perhaps she was receiving private points from another class.
You think she sold out her own class for points?
There are any number of possibilities.
Me, too! I'm going to do my best!
But only Kushida herself knows the reason.
Is finding that out the reason you want to bring the two of us together?
You and Kushida appear to have a history.
I...
A class that houses a traitor can't possibly win.
If you want to lead the class, you'd better think about it.

C'mon, louder! I can't hear you!
This was a pleasant surprise!
You never ask me out, Ayanokoji-kun.
I suppose not.
Watching the other classes is kind of exciting, isn't it?
I suppose.
You can be a little nasty, though, Ayanokoji-kun.
You know that Horikita-san doesn't like me much, right?
This was Horikita's idea, actually.
Really? What a surprise!
Kushida-san, I have no interest in you.
What a mean thing to say!
But I want to ask you one thing.
The one who leaked VIP information to Ryuen-kun on the ship...
Was it you?
I knew she wouldn't try to sugarcoat it,
but that was harsher than I expected.
You don't have to admit it.
It's in the past, after all.
What are you—
But as a member of your class, I'm not sure if I can trust you from now on.
I don't know why you suspect me,
but I want to work to reach Class A with the rest of you.
You'll trust me, won't you?
Very well.
I can't wait for the sports festival!
Yeah! I'm gonna get you next time!
Third-year girls, the 100 meter dash is about to begin.
Sports Festival Day
Students, please gather at the designated start location.
It's been goin' pretty well so far!
Now, let's win this sports festival!
Show me what all your training's been for!
I'm gonna sweep all the events I'm a part of!
And I don't wanna see any of you guys placing last!
He seems to have placed great faith in us...
But there's no way we can win everything.
Don't get spooked if you fall behind!
Hang in there like your life depends on it!
You hear me?!
Anyway, you guys seen how hard I'm owning this?
Take a page outta my book and really put your backs into it!
What the heck?
He's like a little kid showing off in front of his crush.
Is that...
Sakayanagi Arisu-san.
One of the two central figures of Class A.
She's Team Red like us this time, so it'll be good to have her.
How are things proceeding?
Well enough, I suppose.
How is Class D's performance?
Mostly below average.
Sudo Ken is the only standout.
His achievements are raising team morale.
I see.
Just as anticipated.
Okay, let's keep this up and sweep this thing!
Follow my lead!
Yeah!
Team White
Team Red
It's a promising start.
Yes, thanks to you and Sudo.
You did well against that track-and-field club ace.
Third-Year Boys 100 Meter Dash
So cool!
1st Place Horikita Manabu
The student council president is truly impressive.
My brother? He's perfect.
He wins at everything he does.
Dang, he's fast.
Damn it, Koenji!
It's go time, and you're sittin' it out?!
Quit screwin' around!
First her, and now you...
It seems you can't do anything without me.
"She"?
The cool girl who's got you all fired up.
She begged me to engage earnestly in the events.
Horikita did?
But I'm terribly sorry to say...
I'm feeling under the weather today.
You son of a—
It's almost the next event!
You're our leader! It'll hurt team morale if you're not there!
Fine!
Asshole!
Hey! If any of you guys skip out, you'll get an earful from me.
That's uncomfortable.
It's scary!
I fear I must relieve myself.
Go for it!

Go!

Let's do this!
Awright!
You wanna die? Come right for me!
Hold Sudo off!
They all came after me?!
Bad news, Ken!
Stand off!
Damn it!
What's wrong with those Class A losers?
You pieces of—
Damn it!
You—
Victorious.
Ryuen... That's against the rules!
Oh, you're there?
I didn't even notice.
Are you all right?
That jackass! I'll beat the shit out of him!
You can't do that. It'll make trouble.
So it's only okay when they attack us?!
It'll likely be taken as an accident during play.
Ryuen's clever like that.
There goes our sweep...
I'm sorry. We let you down on defense.
That's okay. We both made mistakes.
Nah, he's right! You guys let us down!
Are you even trying?!
Look at that!
Was it a collision?
Horikita?!
Is she okay?
What happened?
I'm gonna get a first aid kit!
I'll tell the teachers.
Does it hurt?
It won't affect my performance.
If I just rest it a little...
Don't you touch—
This will absolutely affect your performance.
I'm more concerned about Kinoshita-san right now.
The Class C girl you collided with?
I can't help but feel like she did it on purpose.
Regardless, you should keep your focus on your own events. Not me.
I hear you talked to Koenji.
Though it was pointless in the end.
Perhaps if I was like Kushida-san,
beloved by all around me, it would have gone differently.
I never thought I'd hear about you wanting to be more like Kushida.
I didn't always hate her, you know.
Don't tell anyone I said this.
Regardless,
you shouldn't push yourself too hard.
I'm fine.
I'll be there, even if I have to crawl.
First-Year Girls Piggyback Joust
To the right! Keep going!
The Class C girls are totally targeting Horikita, aren't they?
Damn it! I bet Ryuen's behind this!
Got it!
We won!
Ken! You're up!
Right!
How's your leg, Horikita?
I'll be fine.
Can I help you?
Oh, well...
Leave it to me!
I'll fight twice as hard in your place!
I'm very glad to hear it.
Yeah!
Let's do this, guys!
We'll take that asshole Ryuen's head!
Team White
Team Red
First-Year Boys Piggyback Joust
It started out well, with Sudo cooperating with Class A, but...
He fell for Ryuen's provocations,
lost his cool,
and then just lost.
That son of a bitch cheated!
There's no point in reporting him.
I know that, okay?!
Damn it!

Team Red
We've completely lost our early lead.
Hey, Kiyotaka.
Are we in trouble?
Why do you ask?
And... did you just call me by my given name?
I've started calling Hirata-kun "Yosuke-kun,"
so I figured I'd do the same with you.
And, wow... Horikita-san's in bad shape, huh?
They're targeting her, after all.
You mean it's not just a coincidence that she keeps getting paired up
with tough opponents?
Correct.
And it's not just Horikita.
Our class participation list was leaked.
Leaked?
Yes.
The traitor leaked it. To Ryuen.
He's trying to do two things.
One is to pit powerhouses like Sudo up against his weakest players,
and everyone else up against someone just slightly superior,
to rack up overall wins.
The other is... to completely crush Horikita.
No way...
Team White
Team Red
Class D is probably in last place right now, right?
Do we have any chance left to win?
Win?
I had no intention of winning from the start.
The most important thing right now is not to do anything.
Our goal in this sports festival is to lose as much as possible.
That will empower us later.
What in the world?
That Ryuen bastard's cheatin' his ass off!
I'm gonna beat the shit out of 'im!
Calm down!
If you attack him, that's when it's really over!
Shaddap!
Listen up, Hirata! I'm the leader for the sports festival.
You do what I say!
I know that...
But look around you.
How many people will acknowledge you as leader with the way you're acting?
What's with you guys?!
I'm bustin' my ass for this class!
Are you really?
I think you just want to hog the spotlight
and prove to everyone how amazing you are.
You shut your—
We're all counting on you, Sudo-kun!
Please, look at the bigger picture!
Shaddap!
I know you can do this.
So please—
I said shut up!
Hirata!
Hirata-kun...
Disgusting.
What's all this? What happened?
Oh... I just tripped.
Everything's fine.
It doesn't look that way to me.
But if that's the victim's testimony, I won't pry further.
I'm out!
Screw the sports festival!
What are we supposed to do without you?!
Let that loser go.
After a fifty-minute break period,
we'll begin the afternoon's events.
You're going to ask me to bring Sudo-kun back, aren't you?
If you already know, you don't have to ask.
If he doesn't come back before the afternoon events,
we'll have no hope of recovery.
He won't listen to me.
And I'm in no condition to show understanding to others.
How long do you intend to remain utterly useless?
What do you mean by that?
Exactly what I said.
You're useless, so I called you useless. That's all.
I resent that.
I'm much more useful than those incompetents around me!
I just keep suffering these unlucky accidents.
Unlucky?
Do your injuries, and Class D's current predicament,
really strike you as coincidence?
Don't insult me!
Even I know it's probably some scheme on Ryuen-kun's part.
But... that doesn't mean I can do anything about it.
You're missing your chance to acquire a weapon.
A weapon?
What I mean is,
there are limits to how well you'll be able to fight alone in the future.
In fact, you're helpless on your own at this very moment.
You...
You need a weapon at your personal disposal.
Sudo Ken could be an indispensable part of your arsenal.
Use him, as I use you.
What should your priority be at this moment?
Praying that your wound heals?
I don't think so.
I...
You can think the rest over yourself.
So who's the traitor, anyway?
I wish you'd tell me already.
I'm afraid I can't tell you.
Huh?! How come?
But if you knew there'd be a traitor,
why did you submit the leaked submission form?
I dunno.
Horikita told me to do it, so you might wanna ask her.
So...
Where is Horikita-san right now, exactly?
Doing something that only she can do.
There you are!
Horikita-san!
Yes? Can I help you?
Yeah.
It turns out the girl you ran into, Kinoshita-san...
She's really badly hurt!
Now they want you to come to the nurse's office!
Very well.
Hey, Suzune.
What are you doing here?
Kinoshita here was just telling me everything.
I can't believe you did that to her.
What exactly are you implying?
Kinoshita says you knocked her over on purpose.
On purpose?
Don't be absurd!
After I fell, you said to me...
"I'll never let you win."
You're lying.
I never said anything like that!
Get real, now.
Is this the kind of injury that happens at random?
You're a cold-hearted woman to do something like this.
Did you arrange this?
Don't you have any shame?
Blaming me to cover up your own wrongdoing...
What a nasty girl you are.
It's very difficult to prove a lack of intent.
Probatio diabolica—The Devil's Proof.
Kinoshita's going to tell the school about this.
How can you...
If you think you've been falsely accused,
why don't we have our day in "court"?
I...
I can't make trouble for my brother.
Please, Ryuen-kun!
I don't think Horikita-san is the kind of person who'd hurt someone on purpose.
Kushida-san...
Isn't there any way to just resolve this ourselves?
I'll be happy to strike a deal... under certain conditions.
A million points, Suzune.
For a million points, the complaint goes away.
It seems like appropriate restitution to me.
Don't be absurd. Is this what you were after?
Why you cooked up that little story?
I see...
It looks like I'll have to tell the student council, then.
Wait!
If I pay one million points, this all goes away?
Yes.
But I'm sorry to say..
"One million" is no longer the offer on the table.
What?
You shouldn't have turned down my first offer.
Now, let's see...
On top of the points,
I now want you to grovel.
You're perverse.
I won't force you to decide right now.
I'll take my answer after the sports festival is over.
That was careless of me...
I fell right into his trap.
I'm aware of the position Class D has ended up in at this year's sports festival.
I'm keenly aware of my own incompetence.
But don't worry.
I won't make any trouble for you, Brother.
He feels no sympathy for me.
But he did stop.
That's enough for now.
There's one last thing I can do for this sports festival.
