Hey! Don't change the channel!
You don't want to miss what's coming up!
What? The super rare card was too enticing?
Employ Koutaro to replace Makina?
I'll lecture you all at once!
The eyes of the students bear uncut diamonds.
Junichiro Kagami, the Ultimate Otaku Teacher, is always the first to find them!
"To Hiiragi Academy via Icho Academy"
Good morning!
Let's all have a great day!
Hey, how are you?! Good morning!
Yo! Good morning. Having fun?
Be good now! And good morning!
Hey! Good morning!
Check this out...
"Glorious Dragon"
Tada!
Let's go.
Wait, wait! Look!
"Glorious Dragon"
This is the legendary Glorious Dragon
that I earned by defeating foe after challenging foe!
"Glorious Dragon"
It's super rare! Kneel before the king!
Lame.
A grown man, all excited about a piece of paper.
A-A piece of paper?!
You don't get it, do you?
Listen. This card is...
Irregular Twin-Tails?!
"Student Council Head"
It's you who needs to understand, Junichiro Kagami!
Do you really think it's all right for a teacher, of all people, to bring a toy to school?
"Icho Academy Class 3-2 Student Council Head Makina Momozono (Irregular Twin-Tails)"
I will confiscate this.
What?! You've got to be kidding!
H-Hey, wait!
No questions permitted!
You okay, Otaku Teacher?
My legendary Glorious Dragon...
"Ultimate Otaku Teacher #18 | Search"
"A Gamer's Pride"
Aren't you eating?
It's your favorite dish, rice in omelet.
I'm not hungry...
What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?
That's not necessarily the case, but...
What?! I can't hear you, big bro!
Irregular Twin-Tails took something precious from me...
Makina did? Something precious?
The super rare card, Glorious Dragon...
What kind of child are you?!
What's wrong?
Aren't you eating?
It's your favorite dish, hamburger and cheese.
Yeah, I'll eat...
Are you sure you're okay?
Are you feeling sick?
No, I'm fine...
This is delicious!
Pact of Moth, I skip your turn.
Morris the Solemn: draw Morris, skip your turn again.
I-I can't get a turn in!
Inferno. Turnaround...
Combo deck, Hammer of the Flame God!
One more! Next time I'll--
Save your breath. It'll be the same.
Oh, oops...
I was supposed to leave this at school.
Makina! Where did you get that?
Oh. This?
Yeah.
Junichiro Kagami brought it to school and was showing it off to the kids,
so I confiscated it. I didn't mean to bring it home.
The legendary Glorious Dragon...
It's a super powerful, super rare card!
If I had it, I might be able to beat Kenji!
Makina, can I have that?
Huh?
Or at least, can I borrow it?
No.
I only took it away for one night to make him regret it.
It sounded important to him,
so I'm going to give it back tomorrow, if he apologizes.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry I said that.
I'm off.
Take care!
Watch your step!
Hey, don't run!
Hmm?
The card is missing...
I'm sure I put it here last night...
Kazuya...?!
Good morning!
I'm sorry, Makina... But I'll give this back!
I, Junichiro Kagami,
"Student Council Head Office"
despite being a teacher at Icho Academy,
brought the legendary Glorious Dragon card to school,
knowing it had nothing to do with class, to show off to the kids.
I apologize, and hereby vow to never break the school rules again.
Um...
He seems genuinely apologetic, so can you please give him his card back?
Please!
Hey, you bow too!
I can't do that today.
Huh?! Why?!
Because I said so!
Wh-Why?!
This talk is over! Go back to class!
Hey, wait...
--You'd better remember this, Irregular Twin-Tails! --Big bro...
"Simplicity and Fortitude" "Makina Momozono"
--I wonder what's wrong with Makina? --My super rare card!
--This particular case seems pretty unfair against big bro. --Glorious Dragon! Give it back!
Vengeance will be mine, Irregular Twin-Tails!
What's her problem anyway?!
Mr. Kagami!
Mr. Kagami, can you help me hook up with a girl?!
Mr. Kagami!
Please don't obviously ignore me!
Silence! I'm busy!
Who are you anyway?!
I'm Joe Odawara, from the class next to yours.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't confess my love to a girl because of a certain reason.
A certain reason, huh.
Can you hold on to this for a second?
Huh? A bucket?
Hey, good morning!
Huh? Uh, hi, morning.
Whoa! Are you okay?
So as you can see, talking to girls makes me very tense.
By "very tense" you mean you "bleed profusely."
So I need you to deliver the message for me!
Okay, well, good luck!
Hey, Mr. Kagami?!
Sorry man, that's not my field of expertise.
Who's this girl you like anyway?
Well...
It's the student council head, Miss Makina Momozono!
Why didn't you say that first?!
That makes all the difference!
Listen. I can deliver your message,
but we have to solve your other issue before you can date her.
Good morning, Joe!
Good morning, Miss Momozono!
Like that, you would be bloody throughout the date.
Y-You're right...
Therefore, you need to become able to talk to girls. So...
Oh, here he is!
Mr. Kagami, what is it?
This is Koutaro Araki, from my class!
He's dressed like this but is a boy.
Oh, I know. He's famous.
Um, nice to meet you, I'm Koutaro Araki.
"Icho Academy class 2-3 Koutaro Araki"
I'm Joe Odawara, from the class next to yours.
And if I did this...
Mr. Kagami?!
Like this!
What are you doing?!
Huh? What's going on?
See, isn't that pretty close?
You're right! He looks exactly like Miss Momozono!
What?!
But he's a boy. Not a girl!
Yeah! I'm not bleeding! I'm fine.
Wait, Mr. Kagami! Can you explain what's going on?!
Koutaro, you will become "Virtual Makina,"
and go out on a date with Odawara.
Virtual... Makina?
Do you copy, Koutaro?
Yes.
I programmed this over lunch break...
The program that simulates Makina's personality,
"Sim Makina"!
I will punch your actions into this program.
You will react according to my instructions.
O-Okay.
Okay, let's begin. First...
Where should we go today, Miss Momozono?
Stand back, pedestrian!
Huh?
How dare you, nameless pupil, walk beside me, the student council head!
Your insolence deserves death!
I-I'm sorry...
Mr. Kagami?! Would she say that?!
She would!
That's what she's really thinking!
She takes her privileges for granted and thinks of others as lesser beings!
I know this.
Really now...
"Business hours"
Come on, please!
One more game!
No way man. You're too weak.
I have a secret weapon.
I promise to put up more of a fight!
What secret weapon?
Check this out!
"Glorious Dragon"
Wow!
The super rare card!
That's the legendary Glorious Dragon!
Fine, let's fight.
Really?!
But under one condition.
Condition?
We play for keeps. Loser loses his cards.
I'll fight you if you accept the challenge!
Do it!
Are you scared?!
I'll be okay. I have this super rare card.
I can win, guaranteed!
Fine! Let's do it.
What do you think?
It's the cutest store in town!
Wow! So cute!
Uh... Are you kidding me?
Huh?
You think this filthy yarn ball will make me happy?!
I'm sorry...
Actually, this could come in handy
to protect my fists when I'm delivering justice...
This is so wrong, Mr. Kagami!
I saw cute stuffed animals in her room...
That was a trap!
It's a front to make it seem like she has a human side!
How terrifying--she must have had weapons hidden in them!
That's ridiculous...
The pasta here is delicious!
Wow! Can't wait!
A carbonara please.
For me, a...
Raw meat! Blood dripping raw!
I can't do this...
Don't forget! You're Virtual Makina now!
Her staggering violence is fueled by raw meat!
Are you sure?
I am! I saw her eat raw meat in the student council room today!
You have to be kidding.
Here is your order.
We cooked the surface a little, for safety.
Now bite into the meat face first!
She never uses utensils at home!
That's how she maintains her wild side!
Now bite it! That's how she would do it!
Kazuya needs a stern lesson when he comes home!
Makina...
Okay, now the love confession simulation!
Yes.
Joe, are you in love with me?
Y-Yes...
Then get on your knees and kiss my shoe.
Then we can go out.
What are you doing?
I'm helping a fool who wants to confess his love to the devil.
He needs to see how demonic Icho Academy's student council head is.
Is that so.
But maybe the simulation is a little too gentle.
Junichiro Kagami!
I'd love to smack you, but for today, I'll let you off the hook if you help me.
Huh? Help? How come I'm more scared?
M-Miss Momozono!
Huh?
Please, go out with me!
Miss Momozono!
What is this?!
Go away!
Ouch...
"Cafe | Matsunaga Coffee Shop"
What?!
He took my super rare card?!
I get it now.
So that's why you couldn't give it back to me.
I'm sorry...
So my request is...
Here it comes...
I want you to avenge Kazuya.
Huh?
Fight the Kenji kid, and get the card back!
It's my card, by the way!
It's the only way you're getting it back.
This is absurd.
This all started because you brought it to school!
I refuse!
Don't rely on others. Get it back yourself.
If you're a gamer too, remember this!
If you lose something in a game, win it back in a game.
That's what we call gamers' pride.
I'm going to train you!
Hey, you have some pretty good cards.
Yeah, but Kenji's really strong.
I've never beaten him, not even once.
I thought if I had the Glorious Dragon, I might beat him, but...
You rely too much on the cards.
Huh?
Even super rare cards are useless if you don't use them right.
In other words, sink or swim...
"Ancient Dragon, Morris, Arthur, Cunning Eagle, Kakutsuchi, The Ironclad Nun"
it's all up to your skills.
Okay...
Training begin!
Time to start the lecture!
He's going for the return match today.
Is that so?
I hope the training pays off.
Well, luck has a lot to do with it too.
Which is why games are so interesting.
You make it sound like someone else's business.
Don't rely on the cards.
It's all up to my own skills...
Here we go.
Combat open!
I lost.
I see. Well, not everything is that easy.
More training after dinner.
One second, I'll get it ready right away!
You're really persistent, aren't you?
Here! Just take it back, let me off the hook.
"Glorious Dragon"
That's not right.
I have to beat you fair and square, to get it back!
Wh-Why?
It's what's called gamers' pride!
Okay, now!
Koutaro!
Let's walk home together!
Hey!
Later!
Don't go!
Joe says he'd rather date me than Makina!
Well, congratulations.
Don't congratulate me!
I might look like a girl but I don't like boys that way!
Mr. Kagami, you have to do something!
Do something? But...
Lose again?
And so ends my lecture!
Koutaro! Wait! I can't live without you anymore!
No!
