Twelve steps which turn to thirteen at night? That's impossible!

Even if it has 13 steps,
I'm not scared!
Who's there?
You wanna join our group?
I-I won't join you!
Where are you hiding?!
Show yourself!
I'm over here...
In this world,
There are many demons in disguise.
Sometimes they show their fangs and claws, and attack us.
However,
He will be the emissary of justice...
...Who came from the very depths of hell...
In order to protect us.

Miki!
Hiroshi.
I won't let you pass!
Somebody stop Hiroshi!
Okay!
Come on!
They do boring things.
The spirits don't want to listen to me.
This may take a long time.
Maybe it's better to prohibit students from coming here.
You're too slow.
Wait!
Nueno-sensei.
Ritsuko-sensei?
Sensei?
B-Blood?
Th-This...
This happened when I fell from my chair,
not because of this magazine, because it's not hentai, see.
I don't want to look at that kind of magazine.
Hentai is much healthier than that scary magazine.
Y-Yes, I suppose.
It's healthier, right?
Uhm... Ritsuko-sensei?
I thought you wanted to talk to me about something?
That's right.
Sensei, in your class, Hiroshi and the others...
said that they will look for the 13-step staircase. Is that true? I tried to stop them but...
Eh?
They told me,
that this is the staircase with 13 steps.
It has 12 steps during the day,
but when night comes, it has 13 steps.
That's impossible!
They said, if you lay a foot on the 13th step, you'll disappear and never come back.
Idiots!
Stop scaring us!
I was nervous and surprised because of that!
Hey, check it out...
...see if it really has 13 steps.
Hey! Don't push us!
Kyoko.
It's still afternoon, so don't worry.
It has 12 steps, just as I thought.
Yeah, it has 12 steps.
It's not true that it turns to 13 steps.
That's the real school staircase. The 13th step was just a rumour.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Ah... Nube!
Hey, Nube?
Is the story of "Demon of the 13th step" true?
That's just a rumour.
Besides,
even if it's true, you guys won't be able to see it.
Why?
Put your hands on your knees and be quiet.
The story of the 13th step can only be witnessed by bad people.
But you are all good students and that's why you can't see it.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Hey!
We are not kindergartens!
Change the program title to "Hell Kindergarten Teacher Nube"!
Hell Kindergarten Teacher
NUBE
Now, it's the start of 5th grade class.
Huh?
Why did Nube bring equipment for searching for spirits?
It's time once again for pillow monster's 100 volume story.
[Note: 'hai urameshiya' is a Scary Expression]
"hai urameshiya"
In Japan, number 4 is somehow connected to death.
So, Japanese people don't like that number and avoid it.
"hai urameshiya"
That's why Japan's hospitals and hotels don't have room number 4,
while in other countries, like America, 13 is the unlucky number in their hotels and hospitals.
"hai urameshiya"
One reason why 13 is the unlucky number is that Judas betrayed Christ and he was the 13th disciple.
"hai urameshiya"
Besides, the unluckiest day is Friday the 13th.
"hai urameshiya"
And, the stairs of a gallows has 13 steps.
There are many stories about 13, but nobody knows the truth.
[hai goshujinsama: Yes Master, in this case the story teller]
"hai goshujinsama"
Oh... time is up already. See you next time!
Please answer this problem.
Kimura!
Where did Kimura go?
He was here a while ago, but...
It can't be helped.
He escaped again.
The 13 step rumour can only be seen by bad people.
Then, I should be able to see it,
because I'm a bad person,
because I always skip my lessons,
always spray graffiti on walls,
don't pay for train tickets,
and I steal money from my dad to buy snacks.
In Nube's class, they're all good students.
I feel like I'm not part of the group.
Nobody here even calls me Katsuya.
Somehow, I feel that I don't belong here.
Kimura?! Where are you?
Kimura!
Oh crap! It's Nube!
Stay in your seat!
Simultaneous National Practice Exam
The "Simultaneous National Practice Exam" will begin tomorrow.

Today,
we'll have conservation lessons.
So stay after class.
I don't want to do it!
All of you, do your best!
Our goal is to be the number one class.
Demon.
Don't let the other classes beat you!
If I were them,
I wouldn't waste any effort. Just get the answer sheet.
Takahashi-sensei is alone.
Takahashi-sensei,
Nube asked me to send you to grade 5 section 3.
Nueno-sensei asked?
Yes.
Hell Teacher
NUBE
Here it is...
Hey, what are you doing here?
H-How about you?
Same as what you did.
So you came here to get the answer sheet, too?
Of course.
We're the same then...
Well, I'm Kimura Katsuya of section 3.
I'm Sasaki of section 1. Nice to meet you.
I admit it, we're bad students.
Yeah.
Katsuya!
You really look good.
You called me Katsuya.
Good to hear that.
It's the first time I've heard anyone saying that name.
You want to join our group?
A group?
Our group is located in the old school building.
Come on.
So, do you have many members in your group?
Yeah...
They're all good people.
They're waiting for you.
You hadn't asked for me?
Ritsuko-sensei, I know you made up an excuse because you wanted to see me.
But...
I have class now.
It's not that!
Kimura-kun told me.
Kimura did?
Sensei, Kimura escaped again...
What?! That boy!
Today's class is over.
Can anyone help me find Kimura?
Hey here,
This will be fun.
Really?
I feel really good being on his side.
He has the same attitude as me.
This is the best friend I could ask for.
What the...
This is the 13-step staircase!
Yeah.
We need to pass this.
B-But...?
The others are up there.
You want to meet them, right?
Y-Yeah.
Then let's go.
I will tell you the story of the 13 steps.
Do you know that story?
Yeah.
It was exactly 10 years ago,
Here, in this school, there was this bad student.
He even tried to scare teachers by showing his knife, and sometimes he stole food from the supermarket.
He really wanted to do anything. He even tried to burn the school down.
A teacher caught him. He ran to the top of these stairs...
He slipped and fell. He broke his neck and died.
After that incident,
Whenever bad students come here, the number of steps changes to 13.
And when that person steps on the 13th step, it's the end.
He goes to a place called bad student's realm.
He wants new friends and seeks bad students.
Ah, I see...
Let's go...
One.
Aren't we in danger?
It's alright.
Stop it!
Stop pushing!
Two.
I have a weird feeling.
Hurry! Let's find him!
Yes.
Come on, make it fast.
Nine.
Ten.
Eleven.
Twelve.
Oh no! It has 13 steps!
What? Why did you stop?
H-Hey!
I-It has 13 steps.
So, what of it?
Then?
You-You're not scared at all?
We will disappear if we step on it.
I'm not scared at all.
Because that dead student is Sasaki...
and that's me!
Up here!
Le-Let go of me!
Kimura!
- Kimura-kun! - Kimura!
You belong here.
You're welcome.
Here is the bad student realm. Bad people should be with their own kind.
Don't come near me! Somebody help me!
Sensei!
Sometimes,
I've been here before, trying to set their spirits free, but when I've tried to speak to them...
... they refuse to listen.
I spoiled them too much because they're kids, but it's no use.
Nube,
those spirits are kids.
Sensei!
Katsuya!
Sensei!
You called me Katsuya.
Katsuya!
I'll save you for sure!
It's you, Sensei, the one outside who always prays to release us.
He will join our group. Don't try to get him back!
Set Katsuya free.
H-Help me, Sensei!
I don't want to join them.
If you want your spirits to be free, I can help you.
If you refuse, I have to use my Oni no Te on you guys.
Then do it! We all know you can't attack a child's spirit.
Damn! These kids!
Se-Sensei! Please save me!
Sensei!
Sensei.
Sensei! S-Save me!
Sensei.
Sensei! Save me, please!
Kimura!
Kimura-kun!
Hiroshi!
You guys.
What's with these guys? Why are they helping him?
He's not what I thought he was.
He's a bad person, so why do these kids want to save him?
- Don't say anything! Just pull him! - Shut up! Don't tell me what to do.
I don't take orders from anyone.
What did you say?
I'll never give Katsuya to you guys.
You traitor!
So, you wanna be a good boy?
Stop being bad boys.
I don't want to.
Damn, you evil kids!
I tried to save you from this place, but if you still refuse...
I'll leave and trap you.
What?!
The universe and the earth, give me the power to defeat evil and bring justice.
[Note: Nube waves/writes 'Oni', which means, 'Demon']
Sensei.
Here is the answer sheet.
I really am a bad student.
Sensei, I don't belong in your class.
No,
You're hiding your true feelings. I know you have a good heart.
Besides,
you have many good friends.
Friends?
Katsuya!
Let's go home together.
Let's go home.
Come on. I'm hungry.
Yeah!
Go straight back home.
You too, Nube.

Hey, did you see that?
There is a new teacher coming.
I was like this.
I've no interest in that.
Nube and I are are so very different,
like tattoo fish and dust,
like this platform over the bar.
