The Artista Selection Exam?
23 Days
It's an exam taken by third years.
23 days until the summer festival!
It's so intense, every year a few students end up
repeating the year or dropping out.
That happens?
It's no surprise you know so much, considering you've taken it before.
Well, yeah.
That's nothing to brag about.
Will Tatewaki-senpai be all right?
He'll be fine.
In the month since he joined the committee,
he completed the arch we'll display at the entrance.
He's an exceptional person.
He'll easily pass the exam.
You're right.
I want to eat Rin Rin's sweets now.
Macarons, shortcake, grape tarts.
Senpai, start working already.
What? Kanato, how do you always have so much energy?
Because I'm young, I guess.
It's not bad.
He's used the materials properly.
Pass.
Thank you.
Next, Tatewaki Rintaro.
Yes, sir.
Wow!
It's huge.
Way to go, Tatewaki.
The workmanship is good.
But...
The work is too stiff.
This isn't professional quality work.
The biggest problem is that he hasn't expressed himself in the work.
Fail.
That concludes today's Artista Selection Exam.
Those of you who failed today will take the exam again in one week.
Make sure you finish your assignments by then.
Magic-Kyun Renaissance
Shining Like the Sun
All right.
This is delicious, Senpai.
Thanks.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing you say that.
They're all so delicious.
Thanks. Eat up!
I can't stop eating them.
There's no need to hold back.
Eat all you want.
So, how did your Artista Exam go?
Sorry, guys. I failed.
I'm taking the makeup exam.
If I fail that too, I'll be dropping out.
Dropping out?
Guys...
I'm sorry!
I want to focus on sculpting.
Please let me take a break from the committee for a week.
The Hoshi Festival committee has made huge bounds forward thanks to you.
Please come back soon.
We need your strength.
Ichijoji...
Don't worry about us while you're gone.
Good luck.
Senpai, fight!
Leave it to us.
Finish as quick as you can.
We'll be waiting for you.
Thanks.
I want to make the Hoshi Festival a success with you guys.
I promise I'll be back.
It's delicious!
There's nothing like homemade food.
That's good. I wasn't sure what you liked.
I love salted salmon and mustard greens.
Have some of this, too.
Thank you. You couldn't have done a better job.
It was nothing.
Everyone should have a kind junior like you.
All Monet ever does is eat.
He's a really picky eater, so just feeding him is a chore.
He's waiting for you to come back, too.
Is it a bird?
Yeah, an owl.
I had a lot of trouble deciding.
Are these your sketches?
Yeah.
It's so cool.
Isn't it?
But why an owl?
Do you know about the owl on the clock tower?
Oh, yeah.
My grandpa made that.
What?
Your grandfather is a sculptor, too?
Yeah. That owl is the reason I started sculpting.
It's incredible.
Fantastic.
Grandpa.
I'm going to be like you.
I'm going be a cool sculptor like you.
Really? I look forward to that.
Yeah.
So I decided to return to my roots and try making an owl.
Senpai, I'm sure you'll be all right.
I'm really excited to see it.
Sure thing. Thanks.
Georgie, we're still working?
22 days until the Summer Festival
Of course.
If we don't finish this today,
we'll fall behind schedule.
I'm tired.
We're already behind schedule.
Isn't that part of life?
You can say that after you've made an effort to keep to the schedule.
You're so strict.
Why do I have to count the inventory?
It doesn't make sense. Right, Rin?
Tsukushi, move your hands, not your mouth.
There's no way we'll finish this today.
Even if we don't do it now, we'll have to do it eventually.
When's that?
If only Rin Rin were here.
Let's eat this and give it one last push!
Let's do it!
He'd do that for us.
I can't do it anymore.
I'm hungry.
I'm at my limit.
The tape rolls are starting to look like baumkuchens.
Georgie, chairman, you're still going to make us keep working?
I guess we can take a break.
All right!
I'll go to the store.
Guys.
I feel revitalized.
Thanks.
We were just thinking about taking a break.
I just happened to have good timing.
You're awfully considerate, aren't you?
Are you psychic?
Actually...
Oh, right. Aigasaki.
Yes?
Could you take some sweets to the committee for me?
Sweets?
Don't you feel re-energized after eating sweets?
Oh, right.
I wish I could go,
but they'd probably just worry about me.
Tatewaki-senpai.
Thank you.
He never changes.
He should be focusing on himself right now.
He doesn't show it,
but he's been worried for a while.
About his grades?
Yeah.
So that's why he wouldn't join the committee.
He was working so hard, though.
We don't need to worry about him.
I know he'll meet our expectations.
Your hard work will never let you down.
I'm really excited to see it.
This isn't professional quality work.
Ow!
Senpai.
Aigasaki?
For you.
Magic.
Kyun.
Magic.
Kyun.
Renaissance.
What a nice view!
Whoops.
It's dangerous up here. Be careful.
Sorry.
Thanks.
It's fine.
Anyway, I'm surprised you knew I was here.
You said your grandfather's sculpture was here,
so I thought you might be.
I see.
Do you come here often?
Yeah. It helps me relax.
It's a nice place.
Yeah.
I'm grateful to you guys.
What?
My hands were so full with my own stuff,
I couldn't join the committee.
But you accepted me so easily.
It made me happy.
So, I really want to respond to those feelings.
I have to give it everything I've got.
Senpai.
Just kidding.
Break time is over.
Thanks for the rice balls. I'll eat them later.
Okay.
Oh, right.
Do you have a minute?
Done.
This is for you.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Thank you.
It's so cute.
It's nothing special.
I'm so happy you gave this to me. Thank you.
It's amazing how you made this so quickly.
It's so cute.
That's it.
Thank you, Aigasaki.
Huh?
I think I understand now.
Senpai!
I'm know you'll be all right.
Thanks.
I had forgotten.
I started sculpting because
I wanted to see people smile.
But I was terrified of dropping out.
I want to make everyone smile with my works.
And now I have to show them that feeling.
All right.
One more push.
It's done.
It's nearly time.
Yeah.
Rin Rin's Makeup Exam
Fight!
You can do it
He'll be fine.
I believe in him, too.
Pass.
Thank you!
Next, Tatewaki Rintaro.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for reviewing my work.
What?
What is this?
No way.
Why?
Recommendation In light of the results of this year's Artista Selection Exam, we recommend the following students drop out of school. Third-Year Tatewaki Rintaro
What?
He's dropping out, huh?
We didn't know each other long,
but thanks for all your help.
Sorry I couldn't come back.
No...
This doesn't make sense!
You should try again!
You've worked so hard.
I can't believe this is the result.
Thanks.
But I gave everything I had until the end.
I guess that's why I feel fine about it.
Senpai.
I'm really sorry.
Anyway, I want to thank you guys.
Have a taste of my feelings.
We can't eat that.
Don't be that way. It's good.
I want to see you guys smile.
Shall we eat?
Kanato, come on.
Okay.
Come on, everyone.
Come on, Tsuku Tsuku.
You're the only one who's fine with this.
Thanks, guys.
I've been searching and chasing beyond my dreams sweets a la mode
Are these...
They're packed full of smiles
Senpai, the sparkles...
I can see your sparkles!
It's probably inevitable
Because I wanted
To see someone smile
I came this far
There's more than one way
The most important thing
Is to put your heart into it
It took me a while
To realize what it was
But I always had
A grasp of my abilities
I found my answer
I pour all the smiles I have into sweets a la mode
So everyone will smile once they taste them
If you'll accept my gift
If you'll smile
That's enough to satisfy me
I hope my delightful confections reach you
Tatewaki-kun.
Yes, sir.
This is incredible.
This is your magical art.
You pass.
I hope you'll become an Artista of confectionery making.
All right!
You did it, Senpai!
Pass.
You did it. Great.
Thanks, Aigasaki.
What?
You helped me realize that
what I wanted to do was make people smile.
Senpai.
All right. It's time to make the whole world smile with sweets.
The world?
The scale you're pursuing is as huge as ever.
That's who you're meant to be, Rin Rin.
Let's work together.
Senpai, congratulations.
We're really happy for you.
Sorry for making you guys worry.
I'll do my best from now on.
Rintaro.
I'm glad you're back.
Yeah. Me too.
Welcome Back ,Rintaro
I know a lot has happened, but we're all here now.
We don't have much time,
but let's do our best to prepare for the Hoshi Festival and Art Session.
Yeah. I know we can put on the greatest Art Session.
I know we can do it.
With our hearts as one.
All right! To the Hoshi Festival!
Yeah!
Why do you stir up my heart the way you do?
If I hadn't met you,
I wouldn't have had to change.
Next time on Magic-Kyun! Renaissance: "The Light Out of Reach."
The Light Out of Reach
Magic-Kyun for you.
Forget I said that.
