Onee-sama, we should go watch a movie instead.
A movie, you say...
Hey, what about this one?
Love and Youth's puzzles
Hmm... Yeah, well I don't hate love stories...
Hey, you need to be more enthusiastic.
You say that, but-
It's our precious break.
Onee-sama, you're...
Oh, huh?
Hey, it looks like they're doing a summer festival on the roof of Seventh Mist.
Oh?
That's just some crappy festival for kids.
You don't know until you go!
Huh?
Oh well... You see...
I think it's good to go to stuff like this once in a while....
Oh, hmm?
Could it be that it's this you really want to see?
I-It isn't!
I don't have any intentions like that at all!
It's fine, Onee-sama.
It's okay say you love Gekota if you really feel that way.
Like I said,
it's not!
I'm sorry.
I failed to catch the earlier bus.
I'm sorry to make you wait.
Oh, its fine.
We just arrived, also.
Oh?
Saten-san isn't with you?
Oh, she was...
Huh?
She has to have supplementary classes on her days off?
That school is really cruel!
It doesn't seem to be just the school, but rather, it's a special lesson for students gathered from all around.
A special lesson?
Yes.
I don't really understand, but...
Anyway, tough luck for her.
The weather's really nice.
Oh.
Charm
Special Lesson 9am Meeting Time (Be exactly on time) Required items: - Writing Utensils - Clothes you can exercise in - Lunch
Here. Right?
Phew...
Umm...
Hey! Ruiko!
Akemi, Muu-chan, Mako-chin!
What's with all these stairs... So early in the morning...
I'm so tired.
What? You two can't be tired. You only just arrived.
But it can't be helped.
Students coming to the special lessons: Students participating in the special lessons today please use the visitors entrance.
Looks like we need to go this way.
This is the worst...
On our day off, we have to go to another school.
But, if our levels go up with special lessons, it's good.
I was actually supposed to go to the pool.
Ruiko, you were supposed to go out with Uiharun too, right?
Well, it can't be helped.
Geez.
You're good at giving up.
That's right.
Girls like that won't ever be happy.
Oh come on. Don't say cruel things like that!
Now, let's hurry up and get this over with quickly.
Yeah, let's.
Special Lessons
There really are students from other schools here.
Yeah...
Really, there aren't a lot of people.
With this few people, we won't be able to sleep after lessons start.
Everyone seems so blank.
Lets go home, Anego.
It's boring.
Hey, quit making excuses after coming all this way!
Junta!
I'm sorry.
Junta, you bastard! I'll fuck you over good!
So scary...
High schoolers, huh?
I'm sorry
Don't look at them.
Hey, hey, Anego...
Please calm down.
Huh?
Now now, please go inside, already.
Huh?
Who's this little kid?
I'm your Sensei.
SENSEI?!
I'm in charge of your lessons this morning.
I'm Tsukuyomi Komoe.
If you make disrespectful remarks, I'll make your lessons longer.
The most important thing in developing ability is...
Personal Reality
Obtaining personal reality.
Today we will go back to the basics and think about that.
Personal reality is otherwise known as the reality for only you.
To understand this, we can't ignore the quantum theory based on the uncertainty principle introduced by Heisenberg.
Personal Reality
Both personal reality and quantum theory...
Okay! That's it for your morning classes.
It's time for lunch break, now, but please be careful not to be late for afternoon classes.
Phew... It's finally lunchtime.
Hey,
gimme a massage.
All right, fine.
Feels good.
You sound so old.
Leave me alone!
We're only half-way done.
It's so boring.
It sure is.
Oh yeah,
aren't we having athletic training after this?
That's right.
Oh, come to think of it,
the lecturer for athletic training seems to be a teacher who also doubles as an Antiskill.
What?
This is the worst!
The training will definitely be difficult.
We want to go home.
Well,
no point in complaining...
Lets just go eat lunch.
Oh!
What's the matter?
I forgot lunch.
Row 1: Meal-B, Tendon, Katsudon, Domburi-set Row 2: Katsu Curry, Curry Set, Fried Rice, Special Lunch Row 3: Soba, Tempura Udon/Soba, Ramen, One Dish Row 4: Zaru Udon/Soba, Cold Chinese Noodles, JaaJaa Noodles, Rice
Yeah, of course... It is a break, after all.
Oh, hello.
They aren't in operation, after all.
I'll go buy something outside.
Go ahead and eat without me.
Saten-san.
L-Long time, no see.
I'm Juufuku.
Huh?
A-Are you taking these extra lessons also?
Yes.
Oh. Sorry, I didn't notice you.
My ability is called "dummy check".
It's the ability to make someone not recognize the targeted object even when they're looking right at it.
You were hiding yourself?
No, since my level is low, I can't do that much.
I just usually keep a low profile.
I-I see.
U-Umm...
What?
Thank you for always responding to my letters.
O-Oh it was a promise, so...
But...
I want a letter from you first, next time.
Oh, just kidding!
Umm..
When I feel like it...
I sleep with your letters under my pillow,
hoping to see you in my dreams at least.
I-I see...
I'm really glad I came.
I never thought I'd meet you again,
though I didn't really want to take special lessons like these.
Oh, right.
Can we eat lunch together?
Well, I forgot my lunch so...
I have to go buy something outside, now.
Oh, I have a lot today, so...
If you're fine...
But...
Wow! Is it really okay?
Of course.
Please don't hesitate.
Then, I'll have some.
It's really delicious!
Is it?
I'm happy!
I feel choked when I'm in the classroom.
It's like we're being blamed.
Why? We're all the same.
Yes...
Because we are the same,
All of us "same" people have been gathered together.
Are we going to continue to have these special lessons?
Who knows?
But, if we do,
that's just the way it is.
That's just the way it is.
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Special Lessons
In this damn heat...
Athletic training is so tiresome.
Quit blabbering!
Will making comments like that help cool you off?!
Huh?
I-I'm sorry
Junta!
So scary!
I said you shouldn't look at them.
I'm sorry!
All right, listen up!
My name is Yomikawa. I'll be in charge of your athletic training.
Nice to meet you.
All right.
To start off,
lets do some long distance running.
It's to challenge your limits.
Ruiko,
It's going to get hard if you run too fast.
Why the heck are we doing long distance running?
Rather,
why are we being forced to run until we can't run any more?
Is this torture?
You there!
Quit fooling around! Run! Run!
Raise your hand if you feel you can't run any more.
They really are working.
Don't stop!
Yomikawa-sensei is so Spartan!
Work hard everyone!
Do that and...
maybe you can overcome it.
Stand!
Stand up!
No more!
Giving up?
Yes.
All right,
final lap.
Dash!
What?
Dash!
All right,
Work hard!
Just a little more!
That was good!
Now,
Let's make another lap.
It's impossible!
Stand up!
Go! Work on one more lap!
This isn't training!
Sure it is.
What part of this is training?!
This is just beating us up!
Tell us the truth.
This is punishment right?
It's punishment for us!
You are wrong.
Then explain why the hell you're making us do this long distance run!
The reason is to force you to go beyond your limitations.
Look at him.
He was the first to raise his hand,
but he's still running.
If you give up and think it's impossible, then it's over for you.
You might still have some power that you're not even aware of.
Even her.
She thought it was impossible, but she still managed to do one more lap.
What was the power that enabled you to run that lap?
It's the same for ability development.
You shouldn't decide by yourself what your own limit is.
That's what I mean.
Quit making stupid excuses!
Anego!
Are you all right?!
You bitch!
I don't mind beating up teachers!
Lessons are over.
Are you running away?!
It's time now.
Hurry and get back into the building.
Ruiko,
Hurry!
Now, hurry up!
They said it should be sunny by the time we leave.
Geez...
We have to take the final lesson and take an ability exam.
However, we already know the outcome.
Give up and it's over for you.
That sounds exactly like her.
But that's just covering it up.
It's like that delinquent girl said, these lessons are...
a punishment.
Geez...
We become unconscious,
then we're forced to take lessons like this.
We're being treated horribly.
Their methods are really sadistic!
They should just call it punishment rather than call it "lessons".
Geez...
What part of us is wrong?
We should be able to use anything if it increases our levels, right?
Th-That's right.
Cheating isn't good!
H-Hey Ruiko!
We cheated, so it's only natural that we should be punished.
You are one serious girl.
Stupid Ruiko!
Aren't you afraid of anything?!
We were really scared!
That was really scary!
She really looked scary!
But you weren't losing to her at all.
I saw sparks between you two.
Yes, really huge sparks!
That was just thunder.
But really, it's like Ruiko said:
cheating is bad.
That's right.
It looks like some people misunderstood, so let me emphasize.
Punishment
These lessons are not punishment for Level Upper users.
Now granted, the fact that you all used Level Upper to increase your levels isn't something that should be praised,
but there's no need to blame yourself for that or regret it needlessly.
You've already experienced the hardship of being unconscious.
You've paid that price with your own bodies, already.
So now, do you think we should not use that experience?
All of you used Level Upper and experienced abilities which were higher than what you currently have.
This means,
as Yomikawa-sensei says,
It's a method you've all used to get past your own limitations.
Now then,
we will begin the final lesson.
Please recall that sensation.
Close your eyes.
Concentrate.
Imagine that time, as precisely as you can, when you all used your abilities.
That time should become the building block for you all to either obtain or strengthen your own personal realities.
Punishment
My...
My only reality...
Well, he told us to study that Personal Reality thing,
but I really don't understand it.
Maybe you could call it a delusion?
"Delusion" isn't really the best word... maybe, like, "beliefs," or the power to believe...
I almost lost something much more important than any ability.
I...
hated myself for not having an ability,
but I couldn't give up admiring it.
Then try again once more.
It's all right.
Saten-san, you're the type of person who believes deeply.
Don't keep wandering around aimlessly like this.
Don't lie to yourself.
Once again.
Yes...
So now, everyone...
We will be doing ability testing here, at the end.
Please, follow us.
Hey, how were your test results?
The numbers went up a little bit.
Seriously?
Me too!
Well, the level didn't change, though.
I got it! Let's have an "End of Special Lessons" party!
That's a good idea!
Hey, you're coming too, right Ruiko?
Hmm, let me see...
Oh, I'm sorry.
You guys go ahead without me.
I have some business I need to attend to.
It was Juufuku-san, after all!
It was really nice that I was able to meet you again, Saten-san.
The way you seriously ran in the distance run...
and the way you faced those scary delinquents...
made me feel encouraged, somehow.
From now on I'll try not to regret things so much,
and I'll try to live strongly.
I'm not strong at all.
Saten Ruiko
Things aren't going to work out so easily, are they?
But,
let's try hard again.
Huh?
Oh,
Ah, uh... Hi.
Hi.
So then,
let's go home.
Saten-san,
we came to pick you up.
Geez...
Since you took so long to come out,
we thought you might have gone home already.
Without you, Saten-san, our discussion isn't going anywhere.
Oh, what happened?
Hey Saten-san, a movie would be good, right?
Huh?
More importantly, they're holding an event up on the roof of Seventh Mist.
Doesn't it sound fun?
Um...
Do you really want to see Gekota that much?
I said that isn't the case!
Actually these two couldn't agree,
and we stayed in the restaurant where we were supposed to meet until just now.
So... I'm supposed to decide?
Movie, right?
Oh hey, that's unfair, Kuroko!
Hey,
I want to go to the pool!
What? Saten-san!
Okay, then... Uiharu, you make the choice.
Eh?
Seventh Mist, right?
The pool, right?
Eh?!

What?! Armed groups who hunt ability users?!

These men are criminals who call themselves "Skill-Out".
What do we do, Konori-sempai?!
