School-wide Science Test
I don't know any of this...
Good grief.
That's odd.
Why can't it be found?
Anything from 15 years ago should be buried on the school grounds...
Hey.
What are they doing?
They appear to be looking for a time capsule buried 15 years ago.
It was buried on the school grounds,
but they can't seem to find it.
Target 72 Expulsion Crisis
This sucks.
He's already handing back our science tests from yesterday.
I was totally clueless...
And our teacher's the tricky Mr. Nezu.
What is a test?
Tests are a part of life!
Midterms.
Finals.
Tests to advance a grade or go to a new school.
For a driver's license.
For certification.
You must take tests!
Moreover, you cannot enjoy life without passing said tests!
He's ranting again.
As a person who has taken elite courses
from a top-level middle school to a top-level high school,
finishing at the pinnacle of a top-level university, Tokyo University, I must be right!
And now, I will pass back the tests.
Hypothetically speaking...
Let's assume that a student scored in the 20s and lowered the class average.
I would predict that he would become a burden on the education system!
I have a bad feeling...
I shall announce...
the name of that lowly student!
Tsunayoshi Sawada
26 points!
So it really was Loser Tsuna!
D-Don't look!
The only thing that should matter to you is getting good test grades.
Move from a good school to a good society.
People who cannot become elite have no right to live!
Got it, Sawada?
Go-Gokudera-kun!
Hey! You're late!
How dare you show up now!
Huh?
H-Hey.
You shouldn't scare the teacher.
Right. What is it, boss?
I see.
So that's how it is.
Hypothetically speaking...
Let's assume that a student has no problem with being tardy.
That student would be sure to hang out with other failures,
for birds of a feather flock together!
Hey! I won't let you insult the boss!
Gokudera-kun! Hold on!
Gokudera, stop it.
Shut up!
I won't stand by while he makes fun of the boss!
S-Sir...
Are you okay?
You're all...
Expelled!
Principal's Office
Expel them!
Principal! You should expel them all!
Now calm down, Mr. Nezu.
How can I calm down?!
They used violence against me!
Me, an elite alumni of Tokyo University!
No way...
He fell on his own...
We didn't do anything at all.
Shut your mouth!
You probably got a pathetic score, like Sawada!
Yamamoto, 60 points.
Gokudera...
100 points...
Gokudera-kun's really smart.
But Yamamoto...
I guessed a bunch right this time.
Y-You imbeciles must have cheated!
Huh?
Why would I do something dumb like that?
Indeed, Mr. Nezu.
What proof do you have of such...
Any student who defies a teacher could never score 100!
People like you could only score this high if you cheated!
But I'm willing to forgive you at this point.
Only scum tell lies!
I just said I didn't cheat!
Are they really going to be expelled?
Hey, Kyoko.
I came to invite Sawada to boxing practice.
Do you know where he went?
Ryohei!
Actually, Tsuna-kun...
What?!
Regardless!
They should be expelled!
B-But...
Mr. Principal!
As you can see, they used violence against me,
an elite, to cause me injury!
They would have interfered with the studies of other students
if I had ended up in the hospital!
And they even cheated!
Letting such students do as they please will only have a negative effect on the other students!
They should be expelled at once!
Ah, your right arm.
Ow! Ow! Ow!
My arm!
N-No way...
Hold it right there!
Is it true you're going to expel those guys?
Ryohei!
He's gonna make this more complicated!
Who are you?!
The captain of the Boxing Club!
Ryohei Sasagawa!
Sawada's talent is vital to our team!
Please don't expel him!
What are you saying?!
Students are supposed to focus on studying!
I'll have you expelled if you defy me!
What was that?!
You've been blabbing on and on for too long.
You're not making any sense!
Everybody, calm down.
Please wait!
Kyoko-chan.
What is it, Sasagawa?
I beg of you.
Please don't expel my brother and Tsuna-kun and everyone else.
What?
I have to say that it's rather rash to expel somebody so suddenly.
Kyoko-chan...
Hypothetically speaking...
Let's assume that a lovely maiden has come on their behalf.
I am not heartless enough to deny her request.
That means...
But I cannot forgo the expulsion so quickly.
Sawada will have to take a retest tomorrow.
His fate depends on the result.
A retest?
Sweet deal, boss!
That's great.
However!
If he fails again, you'll all be expelled!
Huh?! No way!
How does that work?
You haven't been cleared from the suspicion of cheating.
If the two of you really scored 100 and 60,
then help Sawada study!
I'll accept that you didn't cheat if he passes the test!
Fine by me.
I'm getting extremely fired up!
Can we really manage this in one night?
Tsuna-kun.
Do your best.
I guess I have no choice.
There you have it.
Now we begin the "the boss will absolutely pass tomorrow's retest" camp!
Yeah!
I don't know if this'll work out.
What are you saying?
Put your mind to it and the test will be a cinch.
Well, it'll work out if your guesses are right.
Study to the limit!
I'll help Tsuna-san too!
Uh, why is Haru here?
I called her.
She's smart, you know.
I'll make a snack for you.
Bianchi's here?!
Hey, we can't let her cook!
Do what you want.
I'm going to sleep.
Reborn!
Aren't you supposed to be my tutor?!
He fell asleep already!
Got it, boss?
The reactants and products in a chemical equation should
have the same amount and type of elements.
Okay?
You should go with the flow when taking a test.
This is the inside of a carp's body!
This is known as the law of conservation of mass.
Look! It's a study-aid!
You just go "whoosh" and "bam" and it's all done.
Uh, I won't learn anything if you all teach me at once.
Work to the limit!
I'll cheer you on!
Jeez, Ryohei...
Oh, everybody's sleepy.
I thought this might happen, so I brought coffee.
Drink some of this and you'll feel like it's morning!
I'll go grab some cups.
It's so loud that I can't sleep.
Eek!
Look out!
Looks fun!
Lambo-san wants in!
You!
Whoa!
Lambo-chan!
That's dangerous!
Lambo! No pranks!
Here's a snack.
Bianchi-san!
Huh?
What?
So extreme!
Lambo-san's sleepy.
I-Pin's off in dreamworld.
Sleeping gas?!
Eek.
It's a chemical reaction between pizza and coffee...
Like that's even possible!
Oh my. Everyone fell asleep together.
I'll let them nap a bit longer.
We can't find it...
Should we bring in a professional?
Principal's Office
Expel them!
Honestly!
An elite like myself has come to school on a holiday,
yet you have the nerve to sleep in and show up late for the test?!
I'm at a loss for words!
This sucks...
Sir, we're sorry!
But I beg of you!
Please let him take the test again!
Kyoko-chan...
No!
A promise is a promise.
Now, Mr. Principal!
Expel them!
Still...
If we don't deal with them,
they'll have a negative effect on the good students of Namimori Middle
who are headed on an elite course!
H-However...
What a wonderful way of thinking.
Reborn?
Wh-Who are you?
Oh, Professor Borin.
Professor Borin?
I've never heard of such a man.
I can't tell what he's thinking.
His eyes are deep as the ocean...
Uh, I think that's because he isn't thinking about anything.
As I expected from Mr. Nezu, said to be the face of Namimori Middle.
You're absolutely right.
Am I that famous?
Yes, of course.
Your strict approach to handling students is model behavior for a teacher.
Please, you're too kind.
It's only natural to punish students who don't keep promises.
Yes, yes.
That's right.
Students who don't know how to study should be expelled, instead of wasting
the time of an elite like yourself, Mr. Nezu.
That's right. That's right.
What's Reborn saying?
He's gonna get us all expelled.
However, there are other skills besides academics.
Well, that's true.
It's possible for a person who does poorly academically to excel elsewhere.
Well, I'm sure there are such cases.
How about a test involving something besides academics?
That might work.
Huh?
Rejoice, you all.
Mr. Nezu is going to give another test.
What a relief...
Reborn...
But what kind of test will it be?
This guy pulled a fast one on me...
Mr. Principal.
I happened to overhear something about
difficulties in finding a time capsule buried on the school grounds 15 years ago.
Yes, we've found the others,
but we can't find the one from 15 years ago.
Why did you mention that?
Let's allow them to deal with it.
If you find that capsule from 15 years ago, which should be buried on the school grounds somewhere,
I'll forgo the expulsion.
Really?!
Okay! We'll find it!
Yeah!
But if you don't find it before the sun sets,
you'll be expelled for sure!
What?! Before the sun sets?!
Don't worry, boss.
It'll work out.
Extremely!
Y-You sure?
But how are we going to look for it?
The school grounds are too big.
Don't worry, boss.
I have a good idea.
You can count on me!
Sounds promising.
Just what we'd expect from him.
So what's your idea?
I'll use these to blow up the ground!
You can't do that!
Wow, fireworks?
Kyoko-chan still thinks they're fireworks...
This is where I come in!
Haru-chan!
What's with the outfit?!
These are the mole family costumes I wore during last year's graduation party.
It was my fault that Tsuna-san was unable to take the retest!
I vow to find the time capsule!
Lambo-san'll dig too!
A family of moles are very close!
Just watching them is making me irritated!
Boss, let's get to digging.
I'll join in.
I can't wait!
Tsuna-kun, let's do our best.
Where do we start?
Guys...
Dig all you want,
but you won't find that time capsule from 15 years on the school grounds,
because they began burying time capsules in the courtyard at that time.
Blame the principal.
It's his fault for forgetting about it.
Struggle all you want.
You'll be expelled!
It's no use...
My arms are numb.
This is pretty rough.
But this is nothing compared to training.
I'll do whatever it takes to find the time capsule.
Lambo-san's hungry.
I'm taking a little break.
The sun's starting to set.
I guess it was impossible to find the time capsule.
Kyoko-chan...
Kyoko-chan's working so hard to help me.
But I...
I...
Hibari.
The school may get a little messy.
That's fine.
As long as it's restored by tomorrow.
Sorry about that.
Appreciate the help.
Don't waste Kyoko's feelings.
Huh?
Re-Born!
Re-Born
I'll search for the time capsule like my life depends on it!
Boss!
Tsuna!
So extreme!
Do your best, Tsuna-kun.
Wh-What is that power?!
Where's the time capsule?!
No! That direction is...
What are you people doing?!
We're looking for the time capsule!
That doesn't mean you can destroy the school grounds!
And this is the courtyard!
What if the capsule from 15 years ago pops out?!
Huh?
What was that?
No, uh...
In any case!
Mr. Principal! You should immediately expel people who destroy school property!
This is the time capsule from 5 years ago!
L-Look!
He dug up something unrelated!
Stop him at once!
This is the time capsule from 7 years ago!
This is from 11 years ago!
Where's the capsule from 15 years ago?!
This is completely unrelated!
Stop! Don't open it!
This says... Dohachiro Nezu.
Science...
6 points?
Japanese, 3 points.
He scored 2 points in Math.
0 in Social Studies.
Th-That's...
Mr. Nezu, what is the meaning of this?
You said you graduated from a top-level middle school, right?
With these grades?
Th-That's...
Dohachiro Nezu, age 40.
Graduate of Namimori Middle.
He then went from a fourth-class high school to a fifth-class university.
It took him eight years to graduate.
H-How do you know that?!
So the stuff about being an elite...
It's a lie?!
There it is!
The time capsule from 15 years ago!
You did it, boss!
But if we found it in the courtyard instead of the school grounds...
You also lied about where the time capsule was!
I believe you said only scum tell lies.
Mr. Principal! We found the time capsule from 15 years ago.
So we won't be expelled now, right?
Of course not.
Isn't that great, Tsuna-kun?
Thanks.
It's all because of you, Kyoko-chan.
Yes, yes.
I worked hard too!
Thanks, everybody!
Okay. Time to clean up.
Huh?
What do you mean by cleaning up?
You have to restore the school grounds today.
Or Hibari will bite you to death.
Huh?
Hibari-san!
It's impossible to fix this today!
And now what you've been waiting for.
The horoscope for...
...next week!
The best three, maggot!
Lambo-san is here too!
You do this then.
That's right, maggot!
Hold... it... in...
The third sign for next week...
Capricorn Making good on a promise will be the key to better fortune.
...will be Capricorn.
I'll write that in my Book of Rankings!
Hold... it... in...
Number two for next week...
Pisces Your dreams may come true if you talk about them.
...will be Pisces.
Can I celebrate by having two whole cakes?
Hold... it... in...
And the top sign...
Cancer Good fortune will come if you participate in a contest!
...will be Cancer.
Ahh, sorry. I'll be representing the Cancers.
That was all Lambo-san!
See ya next time!
Ciao-ciao.
Bye-bye.
Next time:
Mother's Day.
