In the year 1999 and seven months,
our world will come to ruin.
I don't believe in that prophecy,
but a lot of weird things have been happening around the academy.
If the fate of humanity is lying on that perverted idiot's shoulders,
then we're screwed!
If the prophecy is true after all,
then the person who can stop it is-
Maya-san!
My glasses... my glasses!
Kozue?
What are you all excited about so early in the morning?
A spoon?
I'm sorry, but I wanted to show you as soon as possible!
You're not getting caught up in that spoon-bending mumbo jumbo too, are you?
No!
This is way cooler!
A spoon that doesn't rust!
This is definitely an OOPArt, right?
An "OOPArt" is
an item of unknown manufacture and origin
that would be incredibly difficult or even impossible
to produce during the civilization of its time.
However, most of what are publicly announced as OOPArts turn out to be shams or misunderstandings.
Even the Pillars of Ashoka that supposedly do not rust
were simply covered by iron oxide which prevented it from rusting.
That means that this is
just an ordinary spoon.
1995?
It's brand new!
It's not an OOPArt.
Do you get it, now?
Got it!
I'm going to look for something else!
Hey, don't you think Kozue's been acting weird lately?
She's always been weird.
We're talkin' about a girl who stands under waterfalls in her free time!
I've got a feeling that I'm getting called on today...
Kozue, did you bring your notes today?
First period is...
Okay then,
turn to page 44 in your textbooks...
Kumashiro.
Uh, we'll begin with Kuroki!
Me?!
Incredible! You're a prophet, Ami-san!
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, eh?
Freakin' bum.
What happened between you and Abe?
What are you talking about?
You seem pretty pissed off at him for some reason.
Did he put the moves on you?
Or was it the other way around?
The principal's gonna give the new teacher a "hand", eh?
Hell no.
By the way, where's Kozue?
How far did she go to find an OOPArt, anyway?
We've got problems!
You took the words right out of my mouth.
What's wrong?
First things first, take a look at this!
A spirit photograph!
Check out these orbs!
Orbs?
You mean the things that are said to be human souls or emotions that show up in photographs?
Yes, exactly!
It's just the light that reflects off of the dust scattered in the air.
But you can't say that for certain...
Let's inspect it, then.
We can see that you are near a waterfall, right?
Flash type diffuse reflections occur frequently in humid areas.
The majority of spirit photos are just badly taken.
How did you get that injury?
Oh, this...
They say it's bad luck if a black cat crosses one's path...
This is the perfect chance to see if that's true!
Wait for me!
A cat!
It crossed my path!
I really got jinxed...
That's not even remotely occult.
You even forced it to cross your path.
That superstition is considered good luck in some countries, you know.
Which one is true?
I'm going to find out...
whether I got good luck or bad luck...!
And how do you plan on doing that?
For example, Russian Roulette!
You're going to kill yourself!
I'm talking about putting wasabi in one piece among a pile of cream puffs, or "wasabi roulette".
The one they use a lot for punishment games?
Kozue always gets the short stick.
Then that won't work.
Everyone, take your seats.
I'll look for something else!
...and that took place, in other words...
It's a P-P-P-Poltergeist!
No... it's just an earthquake.
Excuse me, Sensei!
Are you writing in runes?
An ancient language?
Or, are you an alien in disguise?
No... he just has crappy handwriting...
One, two, three, four...
Everyone, please look!
It's a tsuchinoko!
Abe-Sensei.
Someone is here to see you.
I'm coming right out!
You guys look sloppy!
Of course we look exhausted after that crazy workout.
Yes... The road to the occult is steep.
A scoop!
What is it this time?
You want to sell from a wagon?
Yes.
I thought that maybe I could start selling bread inside the school.
I can't get by with just the restaurant.
I see, in this economy...
No, it's my car loan.
Just like I thought...
No one would want to buy...
bread from some local restaurant...
If you're going to sell it to the students,
you might want to make it taste a bit stronger.
Okay!
I will try negotiating about selling inside the school.
You will?
If we could eat your bread every day,
I... Everyone would be glad, I think.
Thank you so much!
Um...
Do you think you could taste it again?
O-Of course!
Even if it is 10 or 20, it would be my pleasure!
Maya-san!
One!
Two!
Three!
What?
Don't you know?
The three-second rule!
You're safe if you pick up food from the floor in three seconds.
Another superstition?
And what were you shouting about all of a sudden?
There was a special about bizarre mysteries on TV at 12 noon!
I forgot all about it.
Human-faced sheep, humans living at the South Pole, a real pushmi-pullyu...!
I wanted to see it...
You're finished already?
I'm stuffed.
You'll turn into a cow if you sleep right after you eat!
Seriously?!
Ouch!
That hurt!
Kozue.
Don't you think you're getting a bit too obsessed with the occult?
Did something happen?
No...
Nothing happened.
That's the problem.
I'm the only one in this academy
who's never experienced anything occult.
That's not true!
You got possessed, you were kidnapped by a tengu...
But I didn't see those myself.
You're right.
"The most important things... can't be seen with the eyes."
Where's that from?
The Little Prince.
"And yet what they're looking for could be found
in a single rose, or a little water..."
"But eyes are blind."
"You have to look with the heart."
I think my heart is still not ready.
That's why I can't see what's most important to me.
But... I'll always try my best, and someday...
It's just going to get hotter, huh?
Was that a prophecy?
It's common knowledge!
Bentora, Bentora... Space People!
Don't summon them!
Please open up your books to page 51...
Kumashiro.
Close your book and get your textbook out.
Hey, Kumashiro!
Err... let's start with Kuroki...
Me again?!
You're so lame, Abe.
Get some balls!
Do you hate him that much?
I don't even wanna talk about it.
By the way, is Kozue skipping today?
No idea.
I haven't seen her yet.
I thought she'd bring something crazy to me first thing in the morning again.
Maybe she's learned her lesson.
That's impossible with her.
Someone's calling me.
Well, it is a phone.
Hello?
You'd better turn it off.
It'll get confiscated.
You're not any different.
It's from Kozue.
"Please don't look for me"?
She disappeared?!
"I will become a god."
That girl is getting into trouble again!
Wait!
Jeez!
This is Number Six.
The simulator is damaged
so I will report using Number Five's phone that I recovered.
Liar!
I'm sorry!
Letting a civilian get their hands on a historical change simulator...
This is unheard of!
What if she changes the future with that technology?
But I came here to change the future...
Number Six!
Excuse me!
On top of that, you haven't made any progress in finding the key.
Do it more properly!
The future of the world depends on you!
I'm sorry.
If saying "sorry" can fix this, the world won't get destroyed in the first place.
Yes sir. It is exactly as you say.
Don't forget.
We are running out of time.
In the year 1999 and seven months,
From the skies shall come a great king of terror...
You must find Nostradamus' Key without fail.
X-Day is...
The 21st of July.
Ah, Abe-Sensei!
Sensei, Kozue is-
You don't have to come.
What the heck?
Are you the angels?
You look an awful lot like Ami-san and Maya-san.
You're in such a place again.
It smells like pickles.
Just a little more and I would have seen something.
From hunger.
Sokushinbutsu... is a training that involves burying yourself alive, right?
Kozue does it all the time.
She also smells like pickles every time.
Not every time!
Last time it was plum wine.
You're right.
You got drunk from the smell. It was crazy.
How's Naruse?
She's calmed down.
Everything is fine here.
Please.
I refuse.
Permission to sell from a wagon?
Even though your students just faced such an ordeal...
But, I promised Mikaze-san!
I'm not leaving until I get the seal of approval.
Please. We're a team, right?
We're disbanded.
You're the one who came up with the idea of teaming up, May-
Don't call me by my first name.
What if someone heard you?
You're supposedly a teacher, so what if someone thought something weird about us?
Something weird?
Oh, I see. You don't have to worry about that.
You don't turn me on whatsoever-
Our team is disbanded!
Yes.
Thank you so much, Abe-Sensei!
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing, it just sort of hurt...
Oh, my! Should I get a doctor?
I'm okay.
It's no big deal.
Really?
Pain, pain, go away!
It's an incantation to make it better.
I shouldn't have teamed up with that guy!
I never trusted him to begin with!
Now then, let's try experiencing it ourselves.
Who wants to volunteer to be monitored?
Scary.
You first.
No way!
Here!
I will do it!
Kozue?
Naruse will?
Isn't it dangerous?
You will?
Yes.
I want to have a near-death experience!
People who got stranded in snowy mountains
were discovered without a pulse or respiration, but were resuscitated.
There are several examples of that in the past, but today we are going to recreate it here.
Humans will eventually die.
But what lies beyond that?
By putting her in a condition of apparent death,
she will catch a glimpse of the afterlife.
The time limit is exactly 3 minutes.
Any more or less than that, and resuscitation becomes more dangerous.
Okay.
Kozue...
Be careful.
Okay.
I will definitely see it.
13 degrees. 12.9 degrees. 12.1 degrees.
Pulse 74. 70.
It's pretty cold...
My arms won't move anymore.
My head feels heavy.
Father... Mother...
Thanks for everything.
Big sis, even if I die, I won't forgive you for what you did to my pudding.
This is... the afterlife?
I wonder if there are angels or something.
What was Naruse-san's religion?
I can't see anything!
I wonder if grandmother is there?
My body feels so light!
Is it because I'm just a soul now?
Is this water?
Could this be the Sanzu River?
Can I drink this?
Drink it!
Don't do it!
Kozue...
It's time.
Something's calling me.
I have go back.
Maybe she is more mature now?
Where are your glasses?
I don't need glasses.
How was it?
How was what?
The near-death experience.
Near-death experience?
Such occult stuff can't be real.
My glasses... My glasses!
My glasses... M-My glasses!
My glasses... My glasses!
My glasses!
Naruse Kozue here.
This is my first try at doing the preview.
Next time, on Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin...
The occult? The end of the century?
What happened to you, Kozue?!
Next time on Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin...
Bunmei's journey.
Huh? Aren't these characters read as "virgin"?
"Journey" is fine.
Normally it's "virgin."
No, "distance"...
"Virgin."
"Distance."
"Virgin."
"Distance." "Distance."
"Virgin."
The occult is so perverted!
