Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so very much!
Today's lecture is the final one!
Let my tale sink in!
Where my YD ends up with is amusement, no matter how you cut it!
The eyes of the students bear uncut diamonds.
Junichiro Kagami, the Ultimate Otaku Teacher, is always the first to find them!
What?! Mr. Kagami hasn't come back yet?
Otaku Teacher...
Wait, you don't even know where he is?
Really?!
Yeah...
Mr. Kagami is safe; please do not worry.
I'm going to go to the chairperson!
What?!
Junichiro Kagami!
"Student Council Head"
Absence without leave is out of the question!
We really must fire him!
He must be sacked!
I already fired him.
Oh, I see.
Huh? What?!
Come in.
Excuse me!
Miss Kagami...
Chairperson!
What's wrong, Miss Suzune?
If you know where big bro is, please tell me!
Wh-What? What are you talking about, all of a sudden...
Miss Suzune, can you leave this issue up to me?
Huh...?
Hmm, I wonder what happened?
I'm worried.
Suzune!
Look! The chairperson's driving off!
Oh no!
The chairperson is going to big bro!
Right!
We have to hurry!
You okay?
Yes...
Are you okay?
"Icho Academy"
She took off...
Hey!
Let's follow them!
Yeah!
--Follow that black car! --Seijuro!
Yes!
--Sorry Seijuro, you stay here! --But I want to...
Koutaro, get in!
Oh, okay.
Seijuro, do you have your wallet?
Yeah.
Thanks!
Where is she headed?
This is exciting!
Sorry...
How much do you have, by the way?
Not much, dear sister...
Fear not! I borrowed from Seijuro too!
Huh?
Hmm?
Oh, haha...
"Caution: Slow down"
What?!
--Huh? --The car vanished!
We lost her!
At the KEC labs, I met an intern named Reiko Mukyo.
"Higgs Particle Detected"
She apparently has a special power that lets her learn anything just by watching.
To study that ability, she was locked in an institution for a long time.
Because of that, she didn't know what "amusing" felt like.
To truly enjoy amusing things, you have to listen to your heart.
It was absolutely fantastically amusing!
"Ultimate Otaku Teacher #24 | Search"
"My Educational Policies"
Is something wrong?
You are...?
I've come to pick up Reiko Mukyo.
Oh yes, we heard you were coming. But...
Reiko is not leaving!
Reiko is not going to school!
What's this?
Well, about an hour ago...
Miss Mukyo, a person from your school is coming to pick you up in about an hour.
What? Reiko doesn't want to go home yet.
Reiko doesn't want to be separate from Master!
Don't be selfish!
Hmph!
How childish!
I heard she lived up in the mountains for all her life.
She may be old enough to be in high school, but not necessarily mature enough.
"Reiko Mukyo" "New Graduate University of Advanced Studies of Japan"
Where did she go off to?
--Emergency level 5. Emergency level 5.
--Now what? What's wrong with this place? --Emergency level 5. Emergency level 5.
--How many times has this happened since I arrived? --Emergency level 5.
--Level five?! --Emergency level 5.
--What, another hacker? --Emergency level 5. All personnel please evacuate the premises.
--No, five means a serious accident! --Emergency level 5. All personnel please evacuate the premises.
Huh?
What's going on?
All of the power supply system readouts are abnormal.
Could it be a false alarm?
We were afraid of that, so we went to the power room directly, and...
"Seiichi Tomoto" "New Graduate University of Advanced Studies of Japan"
Huh? What's wrong?
If this isn't a false alarm...
In a few minutes, this whole structure will blow up!
Where's Reiko Mukyo?
She's probably fine.
Huh?!
Reiko has control of the entire structure now!
Nobody comes in until you accept Reiko as an official researcher of this lab!
How childish!
I knew it.
So the power supply malfunction was her doing.
She basically locked all of us out.
That is extremely amusing--I mean, alarming.
It's no use!
She has complete control of the security systems!
Open up!
It's okay, he can help us...
Administrative account acquired...
Authority executed...
Junichiro loves this stuff.
Reiko's administrator rights are gone!
All of Reiko's security measures are getting undone!
Analyzing fixed IP from access logs...
Zeroing in on intrusion routes and connected terminals...
Is this Master?!
"You have no authority" "Access Denied" "Close"
You can't beat me using skills you learned from me.
Huh? Why?
Junichiro?
Hey!
Master...
Why are you stopping Reiko?!
You said it yourself!
Reiko has to listen to her heart!
Calm down, when did I say I'm stopping you?
Step on me!
Huh?
Just step on me! Hurry!
Y-Yes, Master!
--Junichiro, open up! Please! --Open! Open now!
Open dammit! Open the dang door!
Sorry Yamato, she got me...
Huh?
She knows a mysterious martial art... She's holding me hostage!
A mysterious...
...martial art...?
How could I forget...
This is what he does...
Master, why are you doing this?
Isn't it obvious?
It's more amusing to take your side!
Amusing?
Reiko was so serious...
Barricading in a research lab? You can't keep me out of that!
Master, that's not fair!
You only do amusing things. That's why you find amusing things, one after the other...
That's right. I can only do what I yearn to do... I'm a "YD."
That's too cool.
Same applies to you. If there is something you want to do here,
there's no reason why you have to go to school.
Something Reiko wants to do?!
What does Reiko want to do...?
The shutters are opening...
Reiko wants...
Reiko wants to be like Master.
Hey, wait!
Reiko wants to live like Master...
For that... Reiko will go to school.
To find Reiko's own "amusing"!
Reiko will go to school.
Let's go, Yomi.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Don't you want Mr. Kagami to come with you?
No...
Master's "amusing" is here.
So... Master doesn't have to follow Reiko.
Let's go, Yomi.
Mr. Kagami, do you agree?
My "amusing" is here...?
Making the "Anywhere Door" in this lab...
Did I find that amusing?
This is so much fun!
...Is what I ought to be saying.
When Reiko, who vowed to follow everything I say, disobeyed me...
What did I feel then?
When Reiko tried to take over the lab to have her way, how did I feel?
I have tasted this feeling before...
Sharp! Sharp!
Yeah!
Nice to meet you, I'm Koutaro Araki.
I look forward to studying with you.
What I witnessed was those kids breaking out of their old selves.
They evolved into new characters...
And I felt the same feeling that I am feeling now.
Kagami, are you still a mere teacher?
Teaching isn't what you truly yearn to do.
I'm sure teaching is boring for you.
No! When I felt a new reality emerge, a future more impactful than any work of fiction,
I felt amused... A powerful surge of wonderful amusement!
Options...
Now I get it.
Now I understand the meaning of "Junichiro Kagami, the teacher."
That's why I'm going back to school.
I'll warn you, though. If I go back, I might make school obsolete.
What does that mean...?
I just decided!
If there's something you really want to do, you don't have to go to school.
Make every student want to voluntarily quit school.
That will be my educational policy!
Students will find something so amusing that it changes their lives.
They won't have time to go to school.
My goal is to make every student a YD!
Amusing!
That is exactly the "Junichiro Kagami, the teacher" that I was looking for.
You are no longer fired!
Will I finally be able to see you try your hardest?
Of course! If I'm doing it, I'm going all the way.
Sorry Yamato, that's the story. I gotta go now.
Junichiro...
I guess there's no stopping you. Go now!
But if I'm ever in trouble, you have to come and save me...
Thanks.
Seriously, you did so much for me.
See ya, Yamato!
Oh, you're such a YD...
I guess I was dancing in the palm of your hand this whole time.
What do you mean?
You set this all up to make me see what "Junichiro Kagami, the teacher" was, right?
You knew Yamato got in touch with me, so you fired me to make me go to KEC.
You sent Reiko to KEC, knowing she had trouble understanding "amusing."
You even told Tim about me joining KEC.
That was all your doing, right?
And thus I end my lecture.
Well, it makes no difference now.
When I get back though, I'll do as I like.
"Kagami"
--Hey, I'm home... Not that big bro is here or anything... --Hey, welcome home!
Welcome home? What?!
"Tears of the Super Idols" "Documentary of 5th Queens" "Director's cut edition (with hidden chapters)"
Big bro, you can't just "welcome home!" me!
You've been gone for days, without a word!
Where were you; what were you doing?!
--Even your phone was out of service! --Whoa whoa! Settle down!
You're a grown man now, stop worrying me! Stupid big bro!
Sorry...
Okay then! I have to study for the exam tomorrow.
That'd be a waste of time...
How rude! I'm not...
Huh?
"Chinami"
I'm still just a school lunchtime DJ,
but one day...
I'll use my voice to become a TV announcer!
When You comes to Japan, I'll be the one interviewing her!
Now that I've overcome my anime voice, I can do it!
Whoa, so late already?
I have to study for tomorrow's exam!
I want to concentrate on the topics covered in the entrance exam
for the university I want to get in to...
But I have to study everything, to keep my GPA up.
Hmm?
What's this...?
Okay, begin!
Hey, this question...
Seriously...?
Big bro, what are you thinking...?
Chairperson, it's an emergency!
What's wrong? Not just you, but the teachers too?
There are a huge number of students scoring full marks on all subjects.
The teachers are worried that the exams are worthless now!
Is that just Mr. Kagami's class?
No! Elementary, middle school, high school...
This is happening to all classes in Icho Academy, at the same time!
All...?
It's because of the app Junichiro Kagami sent out last night!
Routine Buster...?
Hey! I'm here to explain how to use this app!
Oh, how cute!
Chairperson! This is no time to appreciate "cute"!
The Routine Buster is an exam questions prediction app for Icho Academy students!
Enter the subject, teacher name, and test date
"Search subject" "School year" "Teacher name" "Date: Day of week | Period" "Teacher name"
to display the exam questions and answers right away!
The predictions are based on the tendencies of past questions
and other personal data from the teachers.
The accuracy is over 90%!
Now we have to change how we set up the questions...
Of course, if the teachers change their question tendencies,
that will enrich my database further and raise the accuracy of my predictions!
"All subjects radar chart" "Writing | English | Social studies"
What?! Then there's nothing we can do!
Junichiro Kagami! What is he thinking?!
So he begins...
Very well, Mr. Kagami, show us this educational policy of yours.
Have you seen Mr. Kagami?
No.
Oh, Kisaki-sensei!
Hey.
Um... Have you seen big bro?
Junichiro?! Has he run off again?
Hi everyone! Attention to the clock tower please!
The developer of the Routine Buster is coming!
That's...
...Junichiro!
Students of Icho Academy, I ask you this!
Aren't you taking study at school for granted?
Mr. Kagami...?
Hey, Seijuro!
Otaku Teacher?! What does he want?
That's not his usual character...
Until today, you had to study things that had nothing to do with your future,
because you needed to pass to the next year, or maintain your GPA, or whatever.
But now, with my Routine Buster app, you have full control of your exam results.
In other words, you can concentrate on studying what you think you need for your future!
Let me be clear with you!
The school takes no responsibility of your future!
You are fully responsible for your own future!
That's why you have to find what you want to do!
You are all free!
You don't need an Anywhere Door to go where you please!
Maybe one day, you'll find something so amusing it changes your life!
Then you'll be too busy to bother with school!
What kind of teacher would say such a thing?!
I've had enough! Stop him!
Miss Momozono...?
Sirs, I think it's too late.
Just get out of our way!
See?
Know this, everyone!
You don't act because you find something amusing!
You discover amusing things through action!
This world is full of amusing things!
You don't have a second to waste on things you don't enjoy!
Kagami! Kagami!
Rather than doing things one would rather not do for the sake of making a living,
the entire nation just does what they want...
A nation of a hundred million YDs.
That is Mr. Kagami's notion of building an amusing nation.
Mr. Kagami!
Junichiro!
Otaku Teacher!
Big bro!
There really is no way to put a price on that teacher.
Let's see how this turns out.
Tomorrow is going to be even more amusing that today!
Time to begin the lecture!
