Morning.
Hey, now...
Hold on, will you?
Hey!
Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Not after what I did...
Yo, Tanaka!
Huh?
How nice of you to stand in line for me!
Huh? No, I'm...
Got a problem?!
Do ya?!
Yo, Onizuka!
How nice of you to stand in line for me.
Tanaka!
Thanks.
No prob.
Whoa...
Onizuka's reign is over!
So that's Ousawa Akatsuki...
Ousawa...!
I will change the world
Aesthetica
of a
Rogue Hero
Aesthetica
of a
Rogue Hero
Aesthetica
of a
Rogue Hero
Future, change it with my sword
I will shake the world to the core, atop the shifting continents
The icons of my faith have already broken with me
Shout to the vagueness of the cloudy sky
Yes, the anger I bear will never vanish
Here comes the dark hero on his wings
I'll change the world
Show you my heart
Nobody will control me
Eventually I will be acknowledged
Even in failure I resist
Nobody will see me cry, and still I vow to protect you
Fear me!
To Become an Adult
Shrimp dumpling! Yoink!
That's mean!
Yum, yum!
Umm...
Where's the prez?
Student Council Office
Oh, sounds like they called for her.
I hear it's about a certain someone who's been terrorizing our class lately.
Everything from beating up Onizuka and smashing down doors
to swiping the vice president's underwear
and dragging girls into the gym storage room.
I'd say that really calls our class president's managerial skills into question.
I-I think that last one was you, actually...
Does it worry you?
Huh?
The fact that the student council is watching your brother.
I-I'm not really sure!
It might be because of my amnesia, but I still don't see him as my brother!
Oh...
Well, there's no need to rush.
Maybe it's better if you remember things little by little, over time.
You know, about you and your brother.
Yeah! I agree!
Oh! Prez!
So, what did they want?
It's none of your concern.
Oh, really?
Prez! If there's anything at all we can do...!
Izumi.
It's against school regulations to add accessories to your bag.
Oh! I-I gave that doll to her as a present!
So it's my fault...
Incidentally, it sounds like Miu made one for you too, Prez.
Well, it's the thought that counts.
Don't take it personally. That's just the kind of girl she is.
Now, then. What to do?
One day, I found myself cast into an unfamiliar world, all alone.
When I finally returned, I was forcibly thrown into a class of older students.
This isn't where I belong.
In which case, their "threat" might not be such a bad idea.
Sorry.
So, what do you wanna know?
Huh?
I've caused you all this trouble, y'know?
So ask me anything you want.
I'll tell you everything,
from my favorite type to my favorite boob size.
I assume the guys on the student council ordered you
to report any info on me at all, no matter how trivial, right?
You're frightening. Does anything escape you?
I'm to deliver a report every morning.
Should I miss a single report, I'll be sent back to elementary school.
So?
To be honest, I don't think I would mind that.
Don't take it personally. That's the kind of girl she is.
No matter how much I study, it won't make me an adult.
In the end, I'm still just a child.
Goodbye.
I'll help you with those reports of yours.
Thanks for walking home with me.
Now you're talking! But we can't do it right in the middle of town.
Let's find somewhere quiet and—
What are you talking about? Look over there!
What are those two doing together?
Hmm...
Ousawa just took her hand...
...and went inside!
Manga Café Wai-Wai...
"Couples' rooms, complete with showers..."
Wanna go in?
Of course I do!
Knock it off before I get angry.
What were you thinking, dragging me to a seedy manga café like this?
Let go. I'm going home.
Geez. You're bothering the other customers, you know.
Wh-What are you going to do?
I'm gonna make you into an adult.
Well? Can you hear anything?
No, nothing at all. What do we do now?
You'll disturb the other customers if you shout too loud!
Wait... Stop! Quit it!
This was your idea, you know.
Don't worry. I'll be gentle.
I-I didn't mean "adult" in that sense...
Then what do you mean?
W-Well, you know...
S-Someone tactful, who understands how others are feeling...
That's what an adult is!
Then I'm still a kid too,
seeing as I'm about to do this even though you're clearly against it.
Tact and sensitivity make you an adult? That's crazy.
Why try to read between the lines when there's nothing even written there?
Instead, you need to smile more. Get angry more. Cry more.
If you do that, you'll start to feel more at home in Class B.
Stop! This isn't why I—
C'mon, we're just getting to know each other better as friends!
Whoa! Super-soft!
Stop it!
You can cry and shout in here too, if you want.
What do you say?
Hmm. For now...
I think I'll smile.
Thanks, Ousawa.
Write whatever you want in today's report.
You can even make me out to be a real asshole, if you want.
Chikage! You pervert! You creep!
I-I was just joking around! Honest!
What are you two doing?
Just a bit of fun between friends.
But what were you guys doing?!
Are you okay, Prez?!
This brute didn't do anything improper, did he?!
Not really.
He pushed my buttons and temporarily immobilized me, that's all.
Again?!
You perverted button-pusher!
You perv!
I'm innocent!
Maybe if it wasn't all at once like this...
She's late! After we made it so very clear
to the Class B president that she needs to submit reports before class!
You really oughta chill out...
You need to be calm.
All right, we can decide on her punishment another time!
But what about Ousawa Akatsuki?
We cannot afford to let that brute continually lord over us!
Haruka. You're getting too worked up.
So what if he saw your panties?
He didn't just "see" them, he stripped—
In any case,
I'm placing the Disciplinary Committee directly in charge of investigating Ousawa Akatsuki's—
Sir!
We need to discuss Ousawa Akatsuki's—
I will personally handle all issues relating to Ousawa.
Any objections?
Summoning Program
Special Abilities: Petrification Limiter OFF
Wow! I did it!
That's an "Arms Device," or "A.D." for short.
When equipped, it'll create the most suitable weapon for you
based on your skills and attributes.
Incidentally, the weapon it produces
will last until you will it to disappear or lose consciousness.
Let's see...
Oh, it works!
Now then. How about you?
Hmm. No good.
Have you tried imagining it?
It works basically the same way as using magic.
That doesn't help much. I can't use magic.
You're unorthodox in every way, aren't you?
You will now split into two teams and commence your combat training.
Those who wish to fight in groups, form a party of two or more members
and move to Stadium #1.
Those of you who'd rather fight solo, find an opponent and stay here.
Oh!
Okay, the three of us can be—
Hey! Let me in on this!
Hmph!
Okay then.
Onizuka!
O-Ousawa?!
Wanna lock horns?
Get real! Why would I partner with you?!
I'll kill you if you don't.
Just kidding!
I still can't even use an A.D.,
so I'm stuck using this imitation sword they lent me
and I can't use a lick of magic.
R-Really?!
Yep.
All right.
You'll be going up against the Cockatrice this time.
Not Cocky again!
I'm seriously sick of fighting that thing!
Is it that weak of a monster?
Well, its most dangerous ability, petrification, is turned off and all.
Just watch out for its beak and talon attacks and you'll be fine.
There's already an established strategy for defeating it.
Mage types use ranged attacks, while fighter types
use hit-and-run tactics whenever there's an opening.
The mock combat program will now begin!
Next! Ousawa and Onizuka!
I thought for sure he was going to take on the Cockatrice with those three chicks...
Well, whatever. I don't need that birdbrain anyway.
I'll take care of Ousawa myself!
As explained before, any physical damage caused by an A.D. or magic
will be converted by the barrier field into mental damage instead.
At worst, you'll just pass out.
So rest easy and fight with all your might!
Got it!
Let the match begin!
Got him! I got him good!
So you started a spell before the match
and used it to launch a surprise attack right off the bat...
Winning is all that matters!
Not a bad idea, that surprise attack.
But your timing was way too obvious.
You done?
Then it's my turn now!
Hey, you okay?
Doesn't look like it. He's passed out.
Man...
It's depressing that even he can get this to work while I'm the only one who can't.
Maybe my A.D. is busted or something?
What was that?!
What the...
I-It's way too strong! What level is it set to?!
What's going on? Sir?!
I-I don't know! The emergency shutdown program won't activate!
This system is going haywire!
Someone must've messed with the system!
I'll buy us some time!
Take this!
You okay, Prez?
Y-Yes. I'm fine now.
You two should evacuate quickly.
Where's the glory in that?
But if you stay, all three of us will be...
We won't leave you behind! We can't!
I'd rather face ten of those than the thought of having to owe you one.
I want to be in this class...
I want to be with these two...
Izumi! Ousawa!
Thank you!
Oh, she's smiling!
That's the first time I've ever seen you smile, Prez!
Oh, you!
Sir! Please take this opportunity to evacuate the others!
Thank you! Everyone, evacuate to Stadium #2!
If the fight lasts much longer, we'll run out of magic and it'll overwhelm us!
Looks like we'll have to hit it with everything we've got.
Just say the word, Prez!
Right!
Three! Two!
One! Zero!
We did it!
No we didn't.
It seems we've made a terrible mistake.
It's actually been absorbing our magic!
Look out!
Chikage?! Prez?!
Damage within the barrier field's supposed to cause unconsciousness at worst...
But somehow, this thing's turned everyone to stone.
If it smashes them, they're done for!
I won't let you!
I-I can still fight!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You're safe now.
Chew on this!
You did it!
H-Huh?
You really pushed yourself hard.
You did great. Now leave the rest to me.
It's no use! Neither direct attacks nor magic work on it!
Then I guess it's time to go for broke with this!
All right!
Bring it on!
Love keeps me awake at night
I have to turn away, and still can't sleep
How does it start?
Why is my voice so coarse?
It won't stop
My heart is in turmoil
My fingers seem to burn when I touch you
I'm lost, I'm scared, this isn't good
I love you
This is my story
Little fairy tales can't put me to sleep anymore; I'm not a little kid
This is my story
All I think about these days is you, and it's making it really difficult
After becoming a warrior of Alayzard, Akatsuki raced through battlefields,
always fighting at the forefront, ahead of all the others.
Seeing him lead the way gave everyone courage.
He could convey many things without so much as a word.
Or so we all came to realize.
Next episode: "The Hero Fights Ahead".
He's always been a bit of a pervert, but even he can get serious when he has to!
