Are you seriously suggesting that?

I think it's the only way to overcome our financial difficulties.

The path forward for us here at Tatsumi Academy

is the production of successful Todai applicants.

If we can produce several successful applicants for the highest-level institute in Japan,

the name Tatsumi Academy will spread nationwide.

If we can do that, the number of applicants will increase rapidly.

At the present stage, new student applications are 60% below quota.

In the third year, there are 7 classes out of a possible 8.

The second year has 5 classes.

And the new first years are less than half below capacity at 3 classes.

By exploiting the Todai brand,
we can increase our number of students.

This is the only way we can survive.

Tokyo University? Are you serious?

Just look at the facts, the facts!

Our school's rating is just 32!

Never mind Todai, we've had zero
successful high-level University applicants!

Please tell me that you're just talking in your sleep.

Well then. tell me what the alternative is!

That right!

The whole time I've been here, the number
of students has decreased year by year,

resulting in teachers losing their jobs.

In the last three years, we've lost a third of the staff.

When will it be my turn? I can't bear it anymore.

But all the same, Todai? The idea is absurd, is it not?

I think so too. It's nothing more than a pipe dream.

About 30% of university applicants are from
overzealous schools competing for top in the prefecture.

Multiple Todai students from our school?

Are you making light of Todai?

What are your thoughts Chairman?

I am of course, opposed.

However, to escape this crisis,

we will need to raise the students' academic ability...

Academic ability, academic ability, academic ability,

Restricting children with such selfish adult values,

will not be permitted under my rule.

Right now, the responsibility lies within the heart of this feeble country.

You can't open their minds through study alone.

You're a Todai graduate, aren't you?

I want to promote the talents and individuality of our students,

to give this country a fresh start.

Tatsumi Academy will make a name for itself
by creating the next generation of leaders,

It will collapse before that ideal is ever realised.

Tatsumi Academy High School
Management situation report
Regarding imminent bankrupcy proceedings

It will be bankrupt within 3 years.

To avoid failure, we must produce successful Todai applicants.

In here... in here, we have to rank,

in order to improve our reputation.

Tatsumi Academy will be known nationwide.

-By next year we will put a stop to the falling admission rate.
-Next year?!

You can't get them to pass Todai entrance exams in just one year!

It's possible.

Everybody, are you familiar with the school I used to work at?

No, where was it?

-Ryuuzan High School.
-Ryuuzan?

That super famous university feeder school?

Right now, that's true, but some time ago, it wasn't.

-Their rating was as low as 30.
-30?

It was all thanks to one lawyer.

It was reborn as a route to Todai and is now
a prestigious school, inundated with students.

Is that person still there?

After putting Ryuuzan on the right track, he left.

It seems that he had many requests for work afterwards,

He didn't only deal with schools on the verge of collapse,

He has also had success in management reorganisation.

I have invited that lawyer to our school.

Wait... wasn't he...

at Tsurumaki High School the year before last?

-No way!
-It was on some wretched gossip show,

He's not this sought-after guy at all, is he?

No, no, no, no, no! Not some awful guy like that!

But I've already invited him.

Isn't he that former motorcycle delinquent turned lawyer?

But he's the only one who can save our school.

Kenji Sakuragi sensei, that person alone can...

Excuse me, Vice Principal?

Thank you.

From the Mizuno Legal Office.

I am lawyer, Naomi Mizuno.
Thank you for having me.

-Mizuno?
-Mizuno.

Takahara sensei, I'm sorry for not getting in touch all this time.

Yeah, well... where's Sakuragi sensei?

Unfortunately, today was too sudden,
he didn't have room in his schedule.

Sakuragi is currently working on another project.

-I'm here on his behalf.
-I see.

So, Mizuno... I mean Mizuno sensei, this way.

Takahara sensei, you became a vice principal? Amazing.

I could never have imaged it.
You always seemed so gloomy.

And now, I'm a lawyer too, even though I was so stupid.

Mizuno sensei, this is our chairman Tatsuno.

I am terribly sorry that Sakuragi was unable to come himself...

Is that true?

He hasn't been seen in many years, that's not just rumour, is it?

It's fine. We can take on your school's request.

We are currently making preparations.

Principal, could you please speak to
the principal of Tsurumaki High School?

Of course.

Fukui Prefecture

-Shit.
-Yeah! Got another one!

This one's gargantuan!

Come on! Check it out!

It's huge!

It's a black porgy.

You're a liar.

Kenji Sakuragi
Unknown address,
currently missing

Nobody can trace his whereabouts.

-Mizuno.
-Well...

didn't he go into hiding because there were too many job requests?

Stop with the blatant lies. Alive or dead,

you can't hire people you don't know. Are you making fun of us?

There will be no further discussion.

Wait... at the very least, at the next board meeting,

could we request a formal judgment?

The staff consensus is that we should become a university prep school.

Consensus? Who agrees with this?

About 60% are in favour.

It stipulated in the school's constitution that if able to gather a majority vote,

the board of directors must deliberate on the subject.

Chairman.`

The staff may be in agreement, but unless the man himself shows up,

I will not be discussing this with the board.

Tatsumi Academy

Sh really pisses me off that woman.

-Haven't you found him yet?
-Sorry about that Senpai.

He has been untraceable for 2 years, it won't be that easy to find him.

-Yeah.
-You won't get him without me.

I'll tell you, but the information'll be expensive.

I'll pay you all you want, so please, President Sakamoto.

Tomoyuki Sakamoto

Okay.

20 hours later

Ahh, there it is.

Right, come here!

I've been watching you. You haven't caught
anything in the last two days, have you?

Fishing is all about location.

Even in the same port, there's a big difference over there.

It's the same in life if you don't gain information.

You need it here.

See, look.

Hey, check it out!

Well, aren't you a bag of laughs. Well then...

Good luck with the fishing, you'll need it.

What the hell is this?

Huh? Pufferfish?

That's disgusting.

What the hell?

-Hey.
-Uh... by any chance, was that...

Your meal? I'm sorry.

What is it?

Okay, take one.

-2?
-Looks good.

Well hold on.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

Hey, stop it, you've got to be kidding me, you asshole!

Don't sit there in silence, say something.

-Say something asshole!
-Calm down, calm down.

If you won't give us a reason, we'll have to take you to the station

and put you in custody. Do you want that?

Please wait.

You're claiming that the fish you caught earlier

was thrown away by this man.

Yes, and?

However, you caught them from the
breakwater, a zone where fishing is prohibited.

It's huge!

Fishing Prohibited

-Isn't that right?
-Oh... yeah.

I spoke to the anglers in the area,

they said you often fish from there.

Well, that's... you know...

This is in violation of the Fisheries Act and the Minor Offences Act.

In other words, the one who will be arrested is you.

Huh, have you finished eating already?

Wow, that bulging pile of cutlets looks amazing.

Not good. The only thing bulging will be your clothes.

The meat was thin, the oil was old and it smelt funny.

This is a treat and you're going that far?

Here's your extra helping of Katsudon.

You say all that, and yet you're having extra helpings?

You haven't seen me in so long, what's with the weak reaction?

It's been 2 years. Normally, if you saw a student after 2 years,

it'd be 'how are you doing?' or 'you look pretty.'

Or 'thanks for helping me earlier?'
Don't you have anything like that?

I can tell that you're well at a glance,

I don't think you look pretty and you didn't help me at all.

I knew fishing was prohibited in that area. My intention
was to get arrested, so I'd get a free meal out of the police.

If anything, you've just hurt the interests of the client.

Why do you go so far when I buy you food and
prepare clothes for you? You're so rude.

Sensei, why don't you come back to work?

I've opened up a law firm,
I have openings for employment.

I refuse.

I'm about to take on a project that might be of interest to you.

Do you know Tatsumi Academy in Chiba prefecture?

It's super famous for badminton.

How would I know such a stupid school?

You know it, don't you?

Your eyes are a giveaway.

It's a stupid school with a rating of 40.

Now it's 32.

Three years ago, Kyojiro Tatsuno was succeeded
as board chairman by his daughter Kumiko.

Academic scores and prospective students are in decline.

In the name of developing student autonomy, supplementary study
and homework have been abolished, resulting in plummeting grades.

And?

They are requesting your help.

I refuse.

Whether or not this school can be revitalised,

-my life depends on it.
-Yours?

Since frantically leaving your office 2 years ago,
I've reached where I am today.

I have launched the Mizuno Legal Office
and I will choose to do any job I can.

I finally have a chance I can grab hold of.

Mizuno Legal Office?

Isn't it shameful? That you'll accept a treat from a student,

yet you won't at listen to their request, you're the worst.

Hey, hey, what are you doing? Not here.

Since you want it back so much, I'm returning it.

If you want, I'll return the food as well.

It's fine! Don't return it. That's enough.

Hurry and get dressed.

Sensei, are you ready?

That bastard!

Ahmed san,

please, pay the rent.

Pay the rent.

I'm sorry, I don't have money now.

Please wait a little longer.

Pay, pay, pay, today!

Falsifying your name and your nationality, what are you doing?

Falling behind on your rent just passes the burden to others, so...

You can't pay the rent, your water supply has been cut off,

-you can't afford to buy food.
-Oh yeah.

Are you just going to let yourself fall into ruin like that?

Considering what the conditions were 2 years ago at Tatsumi Academy,

it's not bad, in fact, it's exceptional.

You could get some real results there and return to the Toranomon office.

I'll do all the troublesome work,

If you still don't like it, you can just supervise.

Just please, lend me your name.

What are you going to do Sensei?

Are you just going to carry on with this bleak way of living?

What? Sensei... did they just cut off your electricity?

-800,000.
-800?

-That's my debt here.
-What, no way.

You pay that for this scruffy apart...

-I'll pay, I'll pay.
-Then I'll need a new suit,

shoes, shirts, ties and various other things.

-200,000.
-200,000?

But I just bought you a new set...

Wait.. wait...

They don't make my size.

Because it's too big!

I'll need a smartphone too.
My share will be half of the reward.

And I'm just the supervisor, you're going to do it.

I understand already.

And as a rule, 7 days a week,

don't forget breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Well then.

In order to invite you both to the school,

Ningyocho - Tokyo

we first need to get approval from the board of directors.

There are 5 members on the board.

First of all, the current chairperson, Kumiko Tatsuno,

who is under the influence of the current principal, Okuda san.

The former principal Komatsukawa san, and,

Chairman Kumiko's father,

former chairman Kyojiro Tatsuno.

-Her father's a director?
-Yes, and he brought with him

Shinpei Hibino, an educational critic from the Ministry of Education.

Well the results are clear.
2 votes for father and daughter, 2 votes for the rest of the board,

and including the educational critic the father is bringing makes it 5 - 0.

That's not quite the case.

I'm sorry I'm late Kumiko.

When we're here, please call me Chairman, Chair Emeritus.

-There's friction between father and daughter?
-Yes, the former chair and Hibino san are in the supporting faction.

Well, that makes it 2 - 3.

It still leaves us at a disadvantage.

Well, supposing that it's impossible to overturn the Empress' decision...

With that in mind, on Takahara kun's recommendation,

I would like to hear what the education consultant has to say.

We are talking about a lawyer who caused a scandal 2 years ago,

I would like to know more.

Setbacks only make people stronger.

I think Sakuragi kun is very promising.

Don't you guys think so too?

The two principals, old and new, used to work as teachers.

Is there any scope for persuasion among those two?

Regarding my position,

I'll tell you at the scheduled board of trustees meeting next week.

Before the board of trustees meeting,
we need to persuade one of them.

Somehow, we will obtain that precious vote.

-I hope we can do it.
-Yes.

-This isn't going to work out after all.
-Why do you say so?

It's the chairman, I don't think I can persuade her clique.

I'll just take my daily allowance.

After your rent and your suits, I'm broke.

Basically, in order to get this contract with Tatsumi
Academy, I've turned down all kinds of other work.

Well then you need to get in bed.

Deceiving either principal is fine.

Huh?! Are you seriously trying to get sued?

That said, we'd need to dupe them in one fell swoop.

If we could pull it off, we'd get a huge contract.

I don't think there is a good way.

It looks like we can't persuade anyone in the Chairman's faction.

With regards to the proposal today,

Meeting of the board of trustees

for setting aside time to deliberate the matter,

-I offer my humble gratitude.
-That's enough of the preamble

Let's take a vote right away.

Well then, with regards to Sakuragi and Mizuno

and their creation of a speciality Todai class

Those in favour of a reorganisation in order to produce successful university applicants,

please raise your hand.

The two of you without your hands up,

I see you're in opposition just like me.

So with that, the motion is rejected...

Oh, wait.

What?

I have also decided that I'd like to entrust it to Sakuragi sensei.

That's 3 votes in favour, 2 in opposition.

Then it's decided.

I'll never allow it.

I want to create a school of freedom, not bound by the restrictions of study.

The board's decision is absolute.

Besides, going against the board is unprecedented
in the entire history of Tatsumi Academy.

Don't talk like you know everything, you're not part of the Tatsuno family.

You keep talking about freedom, freedom,

but waiting in society is strict regulation and competition.

That's something that adults know well.

There's way parents' would willingly send their children

to a school that advocates nothing but freedom.

I had a strict upbringing and was forced to attend Todai.

Is that what freedom looks like?

I've spent my life as a teacher in a university preparation school,

I can show you how to rebuild the school.

Then how many to you aim to get accepted in Todai?

As it's the first year, should we start with 1?

Would 1 be decisive enough?

3 people... no, f...

we'll produce 5 people.

5? Giving yourself the impossible?

Then so be it. If we can't produce 5 successful Todai applicants in 1 year,

-Takahara kun will be fired.
-Huh?

However, in the event that we do have 5 successful applicants,

Kumiko,

You will resign as chairman.

You said yourself that it was impossible.

If you have pride in yourself as an educator,

you should wager your life on it.

Ah, yes.

Will it be a university preparation school,

or a school of liberty?

Show me the future of this school.

Kaede, ready yet?

-Go on ahead.
-Okay.

If you don't hurry, you'll be late for the opening ceremony.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What do you want Seto?

You can have this if you want.

-That's not the kind of person you are.
-What's this, a sermon?

You said you'd quit shoplifting!

What's this about shoplifting?

Erm, what?

Shoplifting's great, the thrill, the excitement.

You've got the wrong idea.

Sakuragi sensei, what are you doing? The ceremony's starting.

-Is that my lunch?
-It's gifts for the staff.

You said you'd wait by the gate.

-What about my lunch?
-Sensei?

-Buy me something.
-Come on!

Jeez.

He seems dodgy.

I'd like to introduce our new educational consultant for Tatsumi Academy, lawyer, Mizuno sensei.

Mizuno sensei, if you please.

Everybody, it's nice to meet you.

I'm Naomi Mizuno.

Me and...

Kenji Sakuragi over there, also a lawyer,
have come here with one purpose.

For you all to successfully apply to Tokyo University.

So, from this year, we will be establishing a new class

aimed at the third-year students.

It will be called...

the Todai Special Class.

It must sound confusing to you all, right?

That's only natural.

Us, Todai?!

That's what you must be thinking.

But it's okay.

Actually, when I was a high school student, my average score was 30.

-How stupid.
-Then,

after studying under the guidance of Sakuragi sensei,

to my amazement, I was able to pass the Todai entrance exam.

I want everyone to aim for Todai.

I want you to believe in us and come with us.

If you work hard, the path will open up.

Do you all see?

Even the stupid and the ugly can go to Todai!

...or something like that.

That's all.

Mizuno sensei, thank you very much.

What was that?

That's funny.

Then we have Sakuragi sensei who will be supervising education.

please give a warm welcome.

Sakuragi sensei, if you please.

Sakuragi sensei.

Please whip them into shape.

Go ahead.

What a tedious bunch.

Are you idiots and your foolish mugs up to the task?

Look here.

Never go somewhere like Todai.

-Huh?
-Huh?

What's with him?

Urm... Sakuragi sensei has a profound message,

-intended to rouse the students, so...
-No I don't.

-Huh?
-The meaning is exactly as it sounds.

You don't have to do to Todai!

-Why are you saying that...
-What I mean, is that it has no value.

It's easy to get in Todai if you do it right.

In fact, Mizuno over there, she was ugly and stupid.

Well, maybe not ugly, but she was a true idiot.

She got accepted into Todai.

There is a technique to passing the Todai exams.

If you study according to the technique,

some of you will be able to enter Todai.

However, nobody here seems to think it has any value!

Clearly a bunch of indecisive dimwits.

Your study and school life is half-hearted.

You spend all day playing smartphone games.

Ever day, without knowing why, you spend your time in a daze.

It's nothing but stupidity! If you are just stupid, then fine.

But, indifference, apathy, naivety, gutlessness,

if that's what it is, before you know it, you'll be out in the big wide world.

In the blink of an eye, you'll be sucked into the whirlpool of a fetid society.

You'll be easy targets, unwittingly exploited and deceived.

You'll be a slave to society for the rest of your lives, struggling till the day you die.

-The fastest way...
-Maru chan, it's a small-tailed blue.

to prevent that from happening...

is to enter Todai.

But you guys don't think it has any value!

You may act like humans, but you're not trying to think for yourselves.

Then reject Todai!

What are we going to do? That speech ruined it.

Ruined it? Quite the opposite.

They may have lost interest in your talk, but they all listened to me.

That may be so, but hearing those words from a teacher, nobody will come.

If we can't get 5 students into Todai, we'll be fired.

Isn't that kind of thing your job?

Sakuragi sensei, Mizuno sensei.

Can we have a talk in the staff room?

-Mizuno will go.
-Huh?

-Where's the room for the special class?
-There's an empty classroom on the third floor.

Okay.

Hey, that humongous guy was kinda funny, don't you think?

-Quit talking about him.
-Why, it sounds interesting, the Todai Special Class.

Are you guys interested in Todai?

Kaede.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

Kaede, what's wrong?

-Are you okay?
-I think it's just a little cramp.

-Want me to stretch it?
-It's fine.

Is it okay?

-How is it?
-See.

-Ah, thank goodness.
-What the hell?

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

Todai would mean you can quit.

Especially you.

I've never been interested.

Todai? I hate pretentious places like that.

-So do I.
-Huh?

People think their life was successful just because they went to Todai.

People become subservient when they realise
the other person went to Todai. They're all sleazebags

Then why Todai?

Why...

You brats still don't get it?

But... isn't that totally different from what you said earlier?

The whole thing's just disrespect, isn't it?

You get kicks from being patronising and condescending to students.

Actually,

what value does it have for you?

And, what value does it have for you?

Don't you know?

Hey, hey, Sensei. Kaede is the complete epitome of value.

She plays badminton at the top level.

She's even been scouted by a top university.

-Nao.
-That's why you aren't interested in Todai?

Well rest assured, Todai isn't interested in you either.

In fact, in a few months' time

there may be no universities interested in you.

Let's go Kaede, he gives me the creeps.

What is it?

-What's this?
-It's a list of students who show the most promise for Todai.

A list... but there's only 2 people?

You don't need to say it.

Among the top 5 students for science, Ryo Fujii.

He ended up here after trouble on the day of the entrance exam.

His academic ability is high, I get the impression he's an A ranked student. He could aim for Todai.

-What is it?
-Fujii kun, are you interested in going to Todai?

-If you do then you can...
-Ah...

-I do intend to apply for Todai.
-Really? Then...

But I won't be taking Sensei's class.

Studying alongside idiots... it's contagious, don't you think?

Idiocy.

The second person is Mari Kosugi, she's in the top 7 for humanities,

She has outstanding grades, but for some reason

she just isn't interested in taking the exam.

She wants to go straight into employment.

Excuse me... Mari Kosugi san?

That's me.

-About Todai.
-I'm not interested in Todai.

I'm in a hurry.

Hey, Kenta.

Wow, is this the famous women's badminton club?

Here you will find national-level players.

Last year's runner-up at the interscholastic championship,

Iwasaki and Kiyuno, the 'Iwasaki pair' are really popular.

Particularly 'ace' Kaede Iwasaki,

she's been tipped as a potential Olympic candidate.

She's a super talented player.

Stop practice! Greet The Vice Principal and Mizuno sensei!

Yes!

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Wow, so polite.

Miyamura sensei, I apologise for the interruption.

-Right, let's have some water and get back to it!
-Yes!

Keep at it.

-Ah, Iwasaki san?
-Yes.

Are you in good shape?

-I'm in perfect form.
-Good luck for the spring tournament.

-Ah, but don't push yourself too hard.
-Thank you.

Mizuno sensei, erm...

there's something about Sakuragi sensei.

Really? What is it?

Actually, never mind. Excuse me.

Come on Iwasaki.

Do you think Iwasaki san... might be interested in the special class?

No, no. She's getting a sports recommendation from Seinan University,

the top university team.

-She won't go to Todai no matter what.
-I guess no.

Let's find some other students who are gutsy and have potential.

What was that Iwasaki?!

50 burpees.

Yes.

1, 2...

Your condition wasn't great today.

It was his fault... Sakuragi.

He might expose my shoplifting.

Did he threaten you?

He said I'd lose my recommendations in a few months.

No applications today...

Don't tell me you intend to stay here?

You said I'd have a place to sleep.

Not here! The students are coming.

-I wonder about that.
-They're coming.

We'll have 5 students in no time.

See? We have a potential applicant already.

Ah, Kosugi san, I knew it!

-Come in!
-Shh.

-Erm, is he okay?
-Shh.

Take your time.

Is that a bug? They're popular here.

Now look here!

This place will be filled with Todai applicants!

See, this time.

Huh?

Is this...

the special Todai class?

That's right... can I help you?

-Please!
-Get us into Todai.

Sakuragi sensei!

Sensei! The first two applicants for the special class have arrived!

Se... sen... sensei.

Well, come in, come in.

A giant stag beetle?
-Yeah.

-It's huge.
-Noooo!

Sakuragi sensei.

It's easier to talk here than at school.

Well...

Is it really easy to enter Todai?

What are the chances of success?

And what kind of study method is it specifically?

You said there was no value in entering Todai,

what kind of person does it have value for?

Come on.

Tamura sensei said that you have a problem,

-what kind of problem?
-No matter how much I search the net I can't...

Can you swim?

I'm not good at front crawl,

but I can do a 25m breaststroke in 23 seconds.

What... what are you doing?!

It feels good, doesn't it?

Hey!

Hey! Are you leaving?

Pull me up before you go, hey!

How is sensei? Senpai.

You're always calling me senpai, but we entered Todai at the same time.

High school seniors are always seniors no matter how many years have passed.

Enough of that... so, Sakuragi sensei?

He's the worst, he crushed the opening ceremony.

He ignored the students who showed up, then he disappeared.

And he told the students who were talking about Todai not to go.

He's changed so much in 2 years.

As far as he's concerned, it's all about what happened 2 years ago.

-Well...
-I'm not really sure what happened.

There's hardly anything on the net.

Well, come to me for your unfounded rumours.

So, is this all because of that student after all?

-It was Yoneyama.
-That's right, that kid.

It happened 2 years ago.

I'll never forget that day.

2 years ago

Excuse me.

-How many?
-7 people passed out of 8.

I see.

What's wrong with that? This school has a rating of 45.

7 people made it in the first go.

-Who failed?
-Yoneyama kun.

Keita Yoneyama

This is the job of an educational consultant.

But why?

Kishimoto, don't keep repeating yourself.

I'm not a teacher, I'm a lawyer.

That's not the case according to schools everywhere.

You're in demand as an educational consultant.

As the manager of this office, I can't ignore that.

Even this time, you got great results. didn't you?

-One person failed.
-But it was just one.

Still the long face? Maybe some tasty food will cheer you up.

Where would you like to go? I found a great place,

it's a 2-star Michelin restaurant.

We can walk there from here.

I think it's this one.

Sensei?

Go on ahead.

Yoneyama

Hello, Yoneyama?

-Sensei...
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Sensei.

Sensei.

Yoneyama.

Sensei.

Sensei.

Yoneyama?

My son...

why did he do this?

It's because of Todai.

I wish he'd just have a normal graduation,

and have a good time at a reasonable university.

Why did you tell him to go to Todai?

Why Todai?

Then when people got wind of it,

it was all over the gossip shows and tabloid magazines.

It was probably the mother, don't you think? The leak.

That's right. It's still the biggest mystery.

Why?

If you knew that your actions, like it or not,
would expose your son's failure...

would you do it?

Well, either way,

as a result, Sakuragi sensei's reputation fell to the bottom of the abyss.

But why didn't he fight back?

Because you were with him Naomi, I wish he had.

He was going to.

But on the day of discharge...

when I went to pick him up, he was gone.

He'd left home too. We had no idea where he went.

I see. That takes Sensei to where he is today.

It must have been a shock to Kishimoto too, even though she's a lawyer.

She was strong.

Kaori Kishimoto Legal Offices

7th street, Toranomon...
is the building close by?

There's no other option. We don't know where Sakuragi sensei is.

Anyway, if we close here, I can take on all the clients.

So, I need your strength.

Of course, you will stay, won't you?

But Naomi didn't stay.

I'm also responsible for Yoneyama.

But... Sakuragi sensei is in the wrong.

He was a life-changing benefactor for me.

Even now.

Well, this time it's the senpai who has to pull up the teacher.

First, you have to do your best not to lose
the two students who joined the class.

Yeah, yeah, if he sees the students working hard,

-that might motivate him too.
-Right.

This week char siu noodles, which are usually 900 yen

are discounted by100 yen, at 800.

-The char siu noodles are cheap this week?
-Yeah, they're tasty.

-Then I'll have that.
-Okay.

-1 char siu noodles.
-Yes.

Here you are, char siu noodles.

Sensei.

I met you in front of the convenience store, I'm Akira Seto.

Oh, Seto restaurant.

-Is it your parent's place?
-It used to be,

They died in an accident. It's my sister now.

Sister, this is a teacher from school, Sakuragi sensei.

Thank you, I'm so grateful of you.

My sister is having a hard time.

I'm thinking about running the restaurant when I graduate.

Big bro, don't tell me you're actually interested in going to Todai?

The new teacher pushed you into the sea.

That was 'anyone can get into Todai' Sakuragi right?

-Why?
-I heard from one of your Tatsumi classmates.

Why did you go to speak to him?

-Well...
-Don't tell me,

you're aiming for Todai with that brain?

No way.

I just wanted to ask him for about your application to Todai.

Oh... liar.

I'm home.

-Yuta, I'm making dinner now.
-Yuta, don't tell mum about this.

Tell me the truth.

If you won't, I'll tell her.

Say it.

Say it!

Today, you're going to do all this.

What's wrong? Got cold feet?

Erm, well...

-I'm glad you're being strict about it.
-Huh?

We realise that to get into Todai, we need to do 10 times as much work as the others.

so, I'm happy.

-I'll do it.
-I'll do it.

Kohashi kun... Iwai kun...

-That eagerness is a waste of time.
-It's class time!

But isn't it awful to waste motivation?

That kind of motivation crumbles instantly.

Hey, sensei!

-I'm sorry, he's always sleeping.
-Sensei!

Please, will you cut our hair?

-But...
-In the end, it's all about appearances.

We're going to be fastidious about our hair colour.

Given the surroundings, we don't want to be seen as inferior.

Mizuno sensei, you're the only one who's confronted us head on.

I'm so happy about that.

From now on, we're not going to be fussy about hairstyle,

it's all about Todai.

I want to enter Todai to prove to the others.

Okay, together, let's show them.

-Yes!
-Yes.

It's good, it's good, great Iwai! Sensei, even more.

-keep at it.
-Yes.

Todai special class' Mizuno

Gives students a buzzcut

-This is...
-Along with more videos,

this was uploaded to the video site a few days ago.

The students cry

The devil laughs

Roughly what era is your guidance coming from, in that Todai special class.

This is what the students wanted.

There's no way these two would say that.

They're just problem children.

-But...
-Tsuji sensei.

Yes.

And this one is Sakuragi san, isn't it?

Yes, that's definitely me.

That's awful, why would you...?

There must be something!

Surely there was an educational reason, right? Sensei.

Intention? There was no such thing.

Are you even a teacher? Answer me!

Tamura sensei.

I will take this up at the next board meeting.

Your behaviour will be taken into account.

Okay.

There's no evidence, right? No evidence.

But that video of the hair clipping,

you guys took it in commemoration, didn't you?

Aren't you just treating us like criminals?

-Isn't this harassment?
-Did you record it on purpose?

-Come on now!
-Sensei, you're so behind the times.

I laughed so much at your opening ceremony speech.

You can do it if you try, or something like that. It's just not in our nature.

Was saying you want to go to Todai all a lie as well?

-Of course it was!
-You're so pure!

Even in Todai, an idiot will still be an idiot.

You guys may have seen this as just one big prank,

but I was seriously going to get you into Todai.

Are you funny in the head?

Someone got me to pass the Todai exam and it changed my life.

This time, I want to change you.

And so, you want to solve the issue with the video.

Naturally.

We were invited here for the sake of the teachers
who have put everything on the line for this.

We have to get successful Todai applicants.

Ah, I see, I see... well then.

If you lower your head, say sorry,

and that you went too far, we might think about it.

Come on now, hurry!

Hurry!

Do it!

I'm sorry.

I went too far.

Great, got it.

But what about your reply?

We don't know anything about the video?

We don't feel like aiming for Todai.

If you would just shut up and listen. You have a nerve, getting so cocky.

This is no joking matter.
Idiots like you are rotten to the core.

-Your request is withdrawn.
-Ooh, scary!

Good? We'll expose the teachers true power harassment nature.

Stop, give it, power harassment, really?

You are both scum.

-Sensei...
-You had the nerve to waste my time.

You intend to give us a sermon?

Hey, what are you doing? Give it back.

What the... hey!

What the hell are you doing?!

If you think an adult won't do anything to a child, you're sorely mistaken.

If you're going to hit me then hit me. Hey, Iwai.

Is it okay for a teacher to hit a student? That's corporal punishment!

I'm not a teacher.

-I'm a lawyer.
-Sensei.

Hey, let's go, come on.

Now we're really gonna get fired.

I'm in favour of getting fired.

I need to get out of this school soon.

I can't get any sleep round here.

Let me sleep in peace.

You just don't know when to give up.

You claim you were set up, but there's no evidence.

If you just ask them about it...

I have already spoken to them, they say they were forced.

-And you believe them?
-So!

Let's just assume for a moment that you are right.

Even after the sacrifice of their treasured hair,

they had no reason to push you out, no reason!

Excuse me.

I told you to never barge straight in!

I'm sorry, but someone's just uploaded this.

Finally apologises

Hair clipping teacher
Mizuno

I'm sorry, I've gone too far.

You guys are done for.

What an amazing view.

What are you doing?

This is punishment for pushing Amano kun in.

We couldn't capture your face clearly then,

we'll get a proper picture this time.

-Hey.
-Yeah.

Apologise for pushing Amano kun in.

No, there's someone else.

Yoneyama too.

If you apologise to both of them, we'll help you.

What's in it for you if I apologise?

So we can be heroes,

for punishing the guy who drove his former student to attempt suicide.

Hey hurry and apologise, you're sorry for driving someone to suicide.

Your sorry for yet again hurting a student.

If I drowned like this, what would you do?

Well, in that case, wouldn't it be suicide?

You do have a guilty conscience.

You're a fool to think you'll get away with this.

Think, think, think... There's no proof though, no proof.

Right here, right now there's no one here.

If you give a statement, with your previous offenses

Nobody will believe you. Idiot!

Let's go.

Mizuno

Where did you go at a difficult time like this?

But, if you think about it, like the chairman said,

Why did they do it?

They must have had a reason to drive us out...

Important. Loan repayment demand notification.

Shit!

The repayment deadline has passed, but you have yet to make a payment.

If you are unable to make a payment,

you will incur additional fees...

Ah, shit, shit, shit. I can't be going bankrupt!

-I wonder what's happened to him.
-Huh? He'll be fine.

He doesn't have to swim far to get to shore.

That's true.

What are you freaking out about?
He's probably taking a bath right now.

Sakuragi?

Making fun of adults?

Are you hoping to be superior human beings?

If that's what you think, then you are true idiots.

Hey, what are you doing?

You should be shut down for allowing
students to smoke on your premises.

Don't forget,

There is a law against allowing minors to smoke,

if an adult does not give a warning,

they are breaking the law.

Hey, you guys, get out!

-Hurry, get out!
-Let's go.

Come on! Kohashi!

Hey you asshole!

Kohashi!

Hey, what the hell are you going to do about your bike?

I'll ask the bar owner.

Stop at the next convenience store.

Okay.

Hey, behind you!

Go, go, go!

Didn't you vote in favour of the Todai special class?

Yes.

Then why did you bring me this video?

Because, I wholeheartedly want to be helpful to you, Chairman.

I don't understand what you mean?!

So, why did you betray me back then?

Tell me the reason.

Is it possible you found Sakuragi's weakness?

Then I'm right.

-What did you find out?
-I can't say.

-Say it.
-I can't

-Say it!
-I can't!

-Hurry up and say it!
-I can't!

-Hey, go in.
-Huh?

Go into the school!

What's that sound?

Hey, hey, hey!

Move!

-What's going on?
-Help us! Help us!

Someone! Anyone!

You guys, when you go after someone, do a thorough investigation.

I used to be in a motorcycle gang.

Wh... what? Proud that you were bad in the past?

I still am.

Please stop with the bad jokes.

Do you still think that adults don't hurt children?

G... guys, record this.

What are you doing? Quick, record it!

There, see? Proof, proof.

If you swing at us with that, you're going straight to the police, get it?

Do you honestly think that's enough to corner an adult?

-Your lives are scum.
-S... stop.

Fooling around like pieces of scum.

You'll become rotten adults.

People who fight and swear.

And for all that, if you try to insist on your rights,

you'll sabotage others trying to make an honest living.

Pieces of scum like that have no status in society.

Especially people like you,

you can't even kill someone properly.

It's scary, this day and age.

-See ya!
-Sensei!

Hey, people, stop filming.

-They're not allowed, smartphones are banned.
-Come on, step aside.

Sakuragi sensei!

What is going on?
What are you doing to my students?

Wee-wee! Aya chan, wee-wee, wee-wee.

Wee wee, wee wee.

Wee wee, wee wee, wee wee.

Stop it. Stop it.

Wee wee.

Stop it, please stop it!

Stop recording, come on.

So?

how does it feel being violently forced down
and turned into a laughingstock?

It's violent to force someone with power
it's also violent to force someone with words.

It's also indisputable violence to deceive someone with smartphones and social media.

Mizuno, you said you wanted to change these guys,

but you're wrong.

They're the only ones who can change their scum lives.

These guys will never wake up to that on their own.

Violent methods of education are not permitted for any reason.

They're children, they should be protected by adults at all costs.

If they're a child, you'll allow them to do anything?

Even if they do this?

What an amazing view.

How did you...?

It's a smartphone, it's really convenient.

Weren't you saying that we were behind
the times for not recording things.

Pampering children is not the same as respecting their freedom.

Not being scolded when they make a mistake, not being given goals...

That's why this brat

has eyes that look like a muddy sewer.

Using liberty as an excuse to protect the students

is your own indulgence, not for them!

You're turning a blind eye to responsibility and problems.

All of you, remember this well...

No sooner than you allow children to make big mistakes,

whether a brat or a weakling,

they'll get carried away and immediately get trampled on.

Don't underestimate this world!

Should I do the same as you guys... hm.

Are you uploading the pee tape to social media?

-That's right.
-No, please don't!

Mizuno sensei, I'm sorry for setting you up.

Please forgive me.

Apologise to her and I'll think about it.

-I'm so sorry!
-I'm so sorry!

I understand the situation.

Principal?

Principal! Take them to the medical room.

Eh? Okay.

Stand up, okay, up you get.

Excuse me.

However, Sakuragi sensei's use of force is inexcusable.

After all, you pushed a student into the sea.

That's undeniable violence, is it not?

That was a misunderstanding.

Sensei... jumped in with me.

Hey! Are you leaving?

Pull me up before you go, hey!

Are you leaving?

It's cold.

Don't overthink it, just jump.

I'm might just be all in my mind, but it won't shut up.

It's like it's telling me I really want to
challenge myself to try for Todai.

So I decided to go for it without overthinking things.

I'd like to join the Todai special class.

I want to learn from Sakuragi sensei.

There's no problem, is there?

It was all a misunderstanding.

There is a student who wants to join.

There better not be any more misunderstandings.

Alright, break it up, show's over. Come on now.

Sensei, thank you so much.

Don't misunderstand me, I just want to sleep in peace.

Oops.

This is important.

Huh, where are you going?

Ah, I'm going to return this.

As expected sensei, that's a load off my mind.

He's insane. We need to find out his weakness.

It couldn't be worse than this.

Jeez, look at what we just had to go through

all because you told us to get rid of Sakuragi.

That was so embarrassing, I can't go back to school.

Hey, are you listening?

Pushing him into the sea was overkill.

As I told you,

you should have stopped after spreading the videos.

It seems that some Tatsumi students forgot to pay for something.

-Huh?
-This is just something by way of apology.

No, I can't take that.

Then maybe you'd show me that?

Receipt 5000 yen, cost of investigation.

Invoice...

A... a hundred thousand?! What the hell?!

No, no, no.

Oh really? Well, one person joined.

If it's you senpai, you can bring Sakuragi sensei round.

Well, that's one way of putting it.

Well, I'll try my best.

Ah, sorry, the meeting's about to start.

Oh, okay, thanks for everything.

Bye.

Good evening.

-Will this information do?
-Ahh, thanks.

We'll bring Sakuragi sensei round,

Really?

It will be...

the perfect plot twist when we crush him.

Sensei...
