I detest the occult!
A cell phone?
That was bright.
Wait!
Wait up!
No!
Wa-
"Wa"?
The word is actually an anagram. It means Napoleon.
What a day...
That's a lie!
It's not "Nostradamus",
more like "Hoaxtradamus"!
Precognition, and other powers that are beyond human understanding, exist.
We've invited a guest to come to our studio today.
Let's give a warm welcome to
the great spoon-bending boy, Uchida Fumiaki!
Welcome.
Bunmei-kun, how are you?
Please don't call me "Bunmei".
It's "Fumiaki".
I suppose I'm doing... alright.
Everyone, please watch closely...
Uchida Fumiaki-kun's spoon bending!
It's bending!
Enough already!
That solid spoon is bending!
People won't shut up about the occult, no matter where I go...
Camera mode?
What's the matter?
Now that Principal Kumashiro Junichiro is dead,
I think it is obvious that I, his only living relative,
would take over as the principal.
Do you have a problem with this?
No, but... that's...
A will?
I, Kumashiro Junichiro, bequeath my entire fortune, including the Waldstein Municipal Academy,
to my ex-wife Kanae.
In the case where inheritance is impossible for Kanae,
my daughter Maya will inherit it.
That was written three years ago.
It's been sitting in a safety deposit box at the bank.
By the way...
the security at this school is appalling.
A pervert appeared on school grounds just yesterday.
A pervert?
I-I am very sorry!
We'll tighten up security immediate-
No, there's no need.
The more problems there are, the easier it will be to shut down this school.
Okay then, bring me all the receipts and expenditure records, as well as the fiscal year account statements.
Before that, a new teacher has just joined us today, so allow me introduce him.
Please come in.
Excuse me.
He will be teaching second year Japanese history.
Abe Minoru-sensei.
Sorry, but could you leave us alone for a bit?
P-Please excuse me!
I'm Abe. Nice to mee-
I hate the occult.
What are you doing all of a-
Don't play dumb with me!
You suddenly fall from the sky,
and then vanish just as suddenly,
and then, when I took a picture of myself with your cell phone, I saw a skeleton!
You used it?!
Who are you?!
Please return my cell phone.
Without that, I-
"I"?
The future!
"The future"?
I can't save the future!
I am... a time agent.
A time agent...
Yes.
I've come to the past in order to protect the future of our world.
In 2012, the world...
The world is ruled by aliens!
They broke into our dimension
and took control of the Earth in the blink of an eye.
Those who survived formed a resistance, and fought the aliens using guerrilla warfare.
Then, we obtained a piece of alien technology!
How many Abe Minorus do we have left?
Just one left.
Let me confirm this.
What is your ability, Number Six?
Psychokinesis.
And your record at the camp?
Top class.
What is your duty?
The prevention of Nostradamus' prophecies.
Nostradamus...
If only we had been able to more accurately evaluate this 16th century prophet,
this reality might have been avoided.
In the year 1999 and seven months,
from the skies shall come the great king of terror,
to raise again the great king of Angol Mois.
His prediction came true.
July 21st of 1999:
Here in the Waldstein Academy in Matsushiro, Nagano Prefecture,
a dimensional distortion occurred and they appeared.
After several minutes, everything within a 50 kilometer radius of the school was transformed to a wasteland.
By the way, do know what caused all this?
During that time, Waldstein Academy was a crazy school, known as the "Occult Academy".
Some item there must have triggered the dimensional distortion.
We call that item "Nostradamus' Key".
If we can pinpoint and destroy it,
we can save mankind from destruction.
But, it looks like we underestimated Occult Academy.
I'm being chased by a monster I've never seen before!
Pyrokinesis doesn't do shit!
Forget the key!
Please hurry!
I won't suck as much as Number Five did.
This is the information that Abe Minorus One through Five have managed to gather about the mission.
And a complete collection of Gustav Waldstein's ideologies.
Put all of it in your head.
You can do it overnight if you use a headset.
One more thing.
This is a high school textbook from 1999 for Japanese history.
Abe Minoru is a Japanese history teacher.
Please study it beforehand.
Only this is in analog, huh?
Interfering with the past is extremely delicate work.
Your interference with the past could erase us all from existence.
This looks like an ordinary cell phone from 1999, but we applied alien technology to it for our use,
and created a historical change simulator.
If you take a picture of something while thinking of how you want to interfere with it,
you will be able to see the results of that change in 2012.
If you do not plan to change anything about it,
you will be able to see it's natural future state.
In other words...?
If you come across something suspicious, think about destroying it and take a picture.
If you see a peaceful 2012 with no aliens,
then you've found Nostrodamus' Key.
In short, this will identify the key.
It's equipped with a normal 3D camera, too.
Use that to send relevant data to us.
Send us updates frequently.
Fundamentally, communication goes only one way, from past to present.
Given the one in ten thousand chance that something goes wrong,
that's the only way for you to correspond with us.
It's five in ten thousand, right?
Five people are already dead.
Commander, we're ready.
Watch out for space-time storms.
If you screw up, not only can you be stripped naked, but your drop point may also change.
The fate of mankind rests on your shoulders!
We're counting on you, Number Six!
We're counting on you, Uchida Fumiaki!
And thus, I...
I said I hate the occult.
Aliens... supernatural entities...
Enough already!
You just made up stuff like "space-time storms" on the spot!
And that Uchida kid or whatever was bending spoons or something on TV yesterday!
That's...!
That's me thirteen years ago!
Then, bend this.
Too slow!
Get out!
Don't fuck with me.
What the hell are Nostradamus' Prophecies?
In the year 1999 and seven months,
from the skies shall come the great king of terror...
From the skies...
No way...
it's him?!
Did you see the Nostradamus show yesterday?
The official side was disappointing, as usual.
I mean, come on. "Humanity's destruction"? Yeah, right.
You guys are so laid-back.
We've already built a bomb shelter at our house.
I think she's an expert!
What's this all of a sudden?
Maya-san!
She knows every little detail about the occult, and she fights gallantly!
She must definitely love the occult.
Despite that, she acts like she doesn't...
I don't understand!
I don't think that Maya hates the occult even now.
Then...
Maya had to change schools because of her parent's divorce.
It was an adult issue.
But...
Perhaps things weren't going as well as they seemed.
This is Number Six.
Initiating investigation now.
Biology Reference Room
History Reference Room
Psychic Studies Reference Room
Th-This place is too shocking!
It's almost like a museum for strange objects!
Nostradamus' Key could be anything here.
I don't think I can pinpoint it by July 21st-
What are you doing?
I-I'm sorry.
I thought I'd walk around and get to know the campus better before I start work tomorrow.
Okay. I'm on my way.
Then we shall now proceed with the cremation.
We can change your living arrangements if you'd like.
This is fine.
I want to see how my father lived.
Then, have a good night.
The principal has been cremated, and any evidence is gone.
I guess we can relax for now.
No, idiot. His daughter is trying to become the next principal.
This isn't good.
She'll see right through us if we don't play our cards right.
Well then, before that happens...
Who's there?!
That's not it, either...
How many have I checked?
This mission is so simple it's becoming a pain.
Hey! Are you al-
So this really was your doing, Great King!
What do you mean "Great King"?
Don't play dumb with me!
In July of 1999, the great king of terror will descend from the sky.
That means you are the Great King!
What are you talking about?
The prophesized day is July 21st-
I'm not the Great King!
What's that then?
How irritating!
Hey! Wake up, Great King!
Do you want to die?!
Pervert!
Time agent!
Number Six!
Spoon-bender!
I'll call you anything you want, just wake up right now!
That looks like an old notebook.
It was my father's notebook.
He'd use this to record the fruits of his research.
None of it was any good, though.
Thanks to that, we...
"We"?
Nothing.
Is it Kanae who is reading this?
Or perhaps, it is Maya?
At any rate, take this notebook and escape from here now.
And don't ever come back.
The past few years, my mission as an occult researcher has been to study Nostradamus' prophecies.
I discovered that if I can find and destroy the key, the prophecies can be prevented.
However, there are people who find my research undesirable, and they intend to kill me.
If one of you is reading this,
then it means they succeeded.
He was murdered?
He had Nostradamus' Key?
This guy was telling the truth?
Defensive spells designed to counter all possible attacks by my enemies are written in this notebook.
It will protect you.
Please go, and forget everything. Please live in peace.
What are you doing?
Well, I thought that the notebook itself could be the key,
but it's not.
If that were the key, this picture would show a peaceful future-
Obviously!
My father was doing all of that research to prevent the prophecy!
What?
You were the one that said that none of it was any goo-
I get pissed off if other people say it!
Please go...
...and forget everything.
Please live in peace.
I'm your new teacher, Abe Minoru.
I teach Japanese History.
Even if it is a normal subject unrelated to the occult,
please don't take it lightly.
Well then, let's begin.
Aren't you the academy principal?
Why are you in my class?
Do you know the first thing I thought when I heard that my father had died?
"Serves you right".
Then, I became the academy principal so that I could destroy this school.
But, I changed my mind.
If someone did indeed kill my father,
then I will find out who it was.
Find out who it was?
I will search for the key.
And you will join me
in the search for Nostradamus' key.
If they went through all the trouble of killing the principal, only to see his daughter continue his legacy...
Surely they'll try to kill me too.
I don't believe you, or forgive you...
For now, it will just be more convenient for me since we can exchange information.
Don't you think?
Of course, this will be dangerous for you
but this is what you want, right?
You want to form a team...
...with me?
Can I ask you one thing?
You really like the occult, don't you?
I thought I told you I hated it!
Check our homepage for some translation notes that are too long-winded to fit into each episode.
I'm Uchida Fumiaki,
a time agent from the year 2012.
With psychokinesis, which I used to astonish the world, as my weapon,
I will find Nostradamus' Key, and prevent the prophecy from happening!
Even if it's to find my father's killer,
I can't believe I have to team up with this walking occult.
You know you like it.
You're definitely a tsund-
That term doesn't exist yet in 1999!
Next time, on Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin...
The occult is so stupid!
