Geez...
Why do I have to train alongside the recruits and volunteers?
I didn't join Judgement for this crap...
Hey, Uiharu.
Come on, can't you do at least one push-up?
Take some if you want.
So you've already been a member of Judgement for a year, Shirai-san?
You've already been out in the field and produced results, then.
O-Oh, of course.
I'm not going to make the cut, am I?
I'm clumsy.
I signed up thinking that I might be able to change if I joined Judgement.
But I can't even keep up with the training.
Just do what you believe is right.
That's one of the principles of Judgement.
If you're strong enough to follow what you believe,
then results will come naturally.
Special Notice: Beware of car break-ins Recently, there have been many break-ins into parked cars. Always keep valuables with you when leaving your car.
Umm...
It needs to be installed where, again?
There and there.
Geez.
I can't believe they've neglected installing additional security cameras for this long.
The Judgement members at this school must be really lax.
Well, I guess it's good that nothing's happened yet.
That's not the issue.
Let's go!
Right!
Geez...
In broad daylight? At school? Right in front of Judgement members?
Shirai-san, you mustn't!
Please wait until reinforcements arrive.
It'll be fine.
Wait here, Uiharu.
Okay, that's it.
Huh?
This is Judgement.
You are under arrest for destruction of property and theft.
Please be careful.
We don't know if he has accomplices or not.
It doesn't really matter how many of them there are.
They're just some petty thieves. Nothing too difficult.
All right, please cooperate.
I'll make sure you're treated-
Shirai-san!
Hey! We're getting out of here!
Yeah!
P-Please stop!
Out of my way!
Uiharu?
Uiharu!
Pull yourself together!
Uiharu?
I-I'm fine...
Geez...
You scared the hell out of me.
Where'd the thieves go?
They already escaped.
Geez.
Looks like you're still not capable of flying solo.
It's back to being backup in the branch office for you.
I-I told you...
I-I told you that they might not be alone.
You're the one who ignored my advice!
Well...
You're always like this!
You're reckless! You just rush into things on your own!
That's why we have to write so many apology letters...
Hey, I take offense at that.
Do you have an example of me "rushing into things?"
Well?
Always!
For example, you could have waited for reinforcements to arrive earlier!
That'd take too long!
They'll escape!
Can you please think about what you've done?
How are we supposed to fulfill our promise like this?
Promise...?
You don't remember?
Hmm...
Fine then!
If you're going to be like that, then I'm washing my hands of this entire affair!
Do whatever you want!
Mmm?
Hello!
Is Uiharu here?
Oh, it's you again.
This isn't exactly a place to be hanging out, I hope you realize.
Yes, I understand.
I have a valid reason today, though.
Look!
This is the additional homework I was assigned!
I wanted her to help me out.
Geez.
She's over there.
It might not be a good idea to ask her about it right now, though...
She's a bit upset...
Uiharu~n!
Oh, you're wearing clovers today?
Lemme find the lucky four leaf clover!
Uh... earth to Uiharu. Look, I'm pulling your skirt up.
The view from here is great.
What's gotten into her?
Something happened between her and Shirai-san...
She's a bit...
Oh, I hadn't heard.
Yeah.
So, can you let her be alone for a while?
She should just quit Judgement!
Hey, wait!
Don't go putting weird ideas into her head!
The members of Judgement and the Anti-skills are tasked with protecting the Academy City.
They can't just go quitting their jobs all willy-nilly.
Then what are we supposed to do, just leave her like this?
Well, no, but...
...Honestly, I think it'll all work out in the end.
Oh? Is there some secret between them?
Do you want to hear about it?
Argh! So annoying!
Hey, if it pisses you off this much, why don't you just go make up with her?
Well...
If you just leave it like this, Uiharu-san might really give up on you.
You know, break up the partnership.
If our partnership can be broken off so easily,
then I guess it wasn't very strong to begin with.
Stop trying to show off.
I'm not!
Actually, just why are you two partners?
You're both really different.
I-I never...
...intended to become partners with her.
She's such a clumsy and useless girl.
However...
7th Academy District 3rd Branch office
Okay, this concludes today's patrol.
Do you have any questions or concerns?
I'd like to ask you something.
What is it?
It's been over a year since I joined Judgement.
Why do you only let me work behind the scenes? I want to do more than just simple errands and patrols.
In other words, you're frustrated that you're not being given jobs that let your full potential shine?
W-well, not exactly, but...
...I thought it might be just because I'm still in elementary school.
It's not just a matter of age.
In your case... well, you have a lot of potential, so you try to solve everything by yourself.
We feel that you're at risk until you learn to trust others to help you out.
Hey, stop looking like that.
You did a good job today, so I'll treat you to something sweet.
I'll go withdraw some money. Wait here for me.
She really does treat me like a kid.
7th Academic District 3rd branch office
ATM
Oh, Shirai-san!
What a coincidence!
Uiharu?
Why are you in the 7th Academic District?
I'm going to be a middle school student soon.
I came to scope out my future school and dormitory.
Middle school student? Who is?
Me, of course!
Come on.
Really...
We're the same age?
I thought that you were a few years younger than me.
Shirai-san, do you know which middle school you'll be attending?
Y-Yes.
A place called Tokiwadai Junior High School.
Really?
Tokiwadai Junior High is one of the five most prestigious schools in the Academy City!
I bet it's like, totally elegant!
I hear the reality isn't quite that wonderful.
Huh?
It's just a bunch of rich girls who know nothing about how the world works.
Oh, and they're all over Level 3.
I hear that everyone there thinks they're sooo special.
Really?
There's also some Level 5 called Railgun there.
She must be some arrogant, annoying bitch.
You're pretty harsh, badmouthing someone you don't even know...
Come to think of it, what did you come to the post office-
What's the matter?
Excuse me for a second.
What's the matter?
That man.
He seems to be only concerned about what the staff are up to and where they're positioned.
Huh?
I don't really like looking through people's possessions without their permission, but...
It looks like he doesn't have anything suspicious.
He has a gun in his right pocket.
Is he a robber?
I'll go tell the staff.
You get ready to lead the customers to escape. Just in case.
You aren't arresting him?
Don't get any funny ideas.
Leave the arrests to the Anti-skills.
We can't be so passive!
That's right.
Please call in the Anti-skills immediately.
Don't make any sudden movements.
Y-you guys, too. Don't get too excited!
Damn it.
He made his move.
If I just do as I've been trained...
What the fuck are you-
That was pretty easy.
You're such an idiot!
Why are you letting some damn kid beat you up!?
So useless.
Uiharu!
Oh, is she an acquaintance of yours?
A Certain Scientific Railgun
#5 A certain pair's newbie training
That's convenient.
Hey! Don't move!
Are you with Judgement?
Members of Judgement won't abandon hostages, of course.
Especially not if you know them personally.
Is there anyone else with you?
This is not good...
Time to come out and play.
What?
Why are the shutters coming down?
What are they planning?
They're sounding the alarm...
Do they care more about the money than the lives of the customers?
Security signal detected.
Removing intruder.
Discard your weapon and lie on the ground.
How troublesome...
He has something in his right pocket.
Warning complete.
Executing.
Oops.
What just happened...?
Senpai.
You can't rush in...
...until you know what your opponent is capable of.
Remember that.
Wh-Why?
Hey.
So you did have backup!
Shirai-san?
You thought it would be that easy? Are you an idiot?
Shirai-san! No!
Damn you... Making a fool out of me like this...
Shirai-san!
Please stop it!
Shirai-san!
It's all my fault.
Because I was thoughtless...
Uiharu and Konori-senpai are going to...
Please stop! Please!
How terrible.
Please!
I'm not even halfway capable...
God. It's just one thing after another with you guys.
Shirai-san!
But...
Give it up, man.
Please stop!
Now...
I'm gonna save you, no matter what.
What are you trying to-
What?
I'm outside?
Teleporting?
Shirai-san?
Are you still inside?
Why did you only let me escape?
Making such a fool out of me...
Shirai-san, please teleport outside now!
I'd love to do so, but...
Unfortunately, I can't transport myself yet.
And, moreover... I haven't finished wrapping things up yet.
Shirai-san!
Someone, I beg you! Please help me!
There are robbers inside! The robbers are attacking members of Judgement!
Please save them! I beg you!
Let me read your mind.
Huh?
The alarm got switched on quite a while ago.
The Anti-skills should be arriving soon.
As long as I can make sure you can't take any hostages, it's our win.
I got it right, eh?
Wait just a second...
Who said that I couldn't leave?
What!?
Equal Speed.
Anything I throw will continue to travel, regardless of what's in its path, until the object is either destroyed or I cancel my ability.
Quite a shame that things didn't work out for you.
I don't have much time left.
Hey, you. Use your power to get the money out of there.
If you help me, I'll release everyone.
Huh?
Actually, how about this?
You can work with me from now on.
We'd be an invincible team, if I do say so myself.
Hey, what do you think?
This has been the worst first case possible.
I charged in on my own and got everyone involved...
But...
That's right,
I...
will never do that.
So, what do you say?
Unfortunately, I'm not interested in petty thieves who target post offices.
And I...
Someone, please!
...I've decided it!
I shall not go against my ideals!
I see. Well, too bad.
That ability is powerful, but lacks speed.
If my legs do as I tell them...
Have fun dying.
I never said that I could only throw one!
What?
Oh shit!
Why don't we see which is faster?
You know, between your ball and my teleport.
Damn.
Are we saved?
What a relief.
Amazing!
How great! We're saved!
We're safe!
Shirai-san, you're wonderful!
You took care of this all by yourself.
Oh...
What was that?
I promise.
What?
Just do what you believe is right.
Umm...
I will never go against my ideals.
Whatever happens, I won't give up.
I will become a member of Judgement, just like you.
Hey...
...I think I'll join in on that promise.
Huh?
I thought I could handle anything by myself, but I guess that was pretty naive.
So, why don't the two of us strive to become fully-fledged members of Judgement together?
Sure.
I see.
What a touching story.
Huh?
What's the matter?
O-Oh, nothing...
So that was the promise she talked about...
How am I supposed to apologize to her now, though?
Oh!
H-Hello, this is Shirai.
Huh?
Uiharu left?
Yes. She told me she found the location of those thieves, then shot out of here.
She's been looking for them since then.
So, what are you going to do?
I will...
Just do what you believe is right.
Was that it?
It's fine as long as you can still work together despite your differences.
G-Get moving!
You'd better get a move on, or we're never gonna become fully-fledged members of Judgement!
Oh my... They're so restless.
Well, but...
...it kinda gives me a sense...
...of youth, you know?
Shirai-san, aren't you going too fast!?
Hurry up! I'm gonna leave you behind!
Hey! Teleporting isn't fair!

Kuroko and Uiharu-san are sure enjoying themselves.
