What is this?!
Seton Academy Record 12 The Animal Students I Know
Impossible! An animal that can speak directly into our minds?!
It is possible...
for elephant species.
Modern elephants are widely known as the largest land mammal.
They can use low-frequency sound waves
to communicate with other elephants ten kilometers away,
and they can even hear the sound of rain from forty kilometers away.
And a well-known extinct member of the elephant family is...
The woolly mammoth!
Everyone is familiar with these massive beasts
that ruled the land for four million years.
At least, that's the popular image of them...
But woolly mammoths were actually quite small.
I'm the boss of Team EX, Koorimoto Man!
* Modern African elephants are larger
You looked a lot bigger before.
You're tiny.
Don't call me tiny!
After I made such an impressive entrance...
Your intimidating air created the illusion that you were bigger.
Now, An, knock them out and capture the humans at once!
Stop this, An! That's an order from your boss!
Wrong!
You fool.
I am An's boss!
Y-You're wrong!
She's not wrong.
Unfortunately for you, my boss is none other
than Koorimoto Man.
Dumb dog!
Jin!
Dumb dog, where's Hitomi-chan?
Over there!
Hitomi-chan!
Stop this, An!
Anetani-san, it can't be...
Why didn't I realize it before?
Red hair...
Blue eyes...
White skin!
I can't believe it!
Anetani-san is a Neanderthal!
Neanderthals
went extinct after losing in the power struggle against modern humans.
They were said to have red hair and pale skin.
That mammoth ordered An to...
What mammoth?
I'm right here!
You're tiny!
* There were also some larger mammoths
I told you not to call me tiny!
How dare you mock me?!
I will eliminate all of you myself!
Stop. With that tiny body, you'll only hurt yourse—
Wh-What?!
Kin-kun?!
King?!
Stupid lion?!
Damn you!
Kin-kun!
Yena!
Don't think you can just touch me, foolish modern species.
Prepare to die, modern species!
Damn it! What do I do?
Stop!
If you want Jin, you'll have to fight me!
Stand aside. I have no business with you.
I'm Jin and Hitomi's boss! I will protect them!
Don't! You saw how ridiculously strong she is!
I wouldn't be a boss if I didn't fight now!
But the way this is going, she's guaranteed to lose.
Isn't there something... something...
That's it!
Here I come!
Hey, stupid mini-mammoth!
Who are you calling a stupid mini?!
Let's settle this there!
A boxing...
...ring?!
If you can beat the dumb dog at boxing,
you can do what you want with me.
But if you lose, you have to give Hitomi-chan back!
You fool!
Why would I accept such a proposal from a modern species?
All right, then.
Hey, impala!
I'm taking these!
Wh-What is this?!
Jin, what's going on?
Elephants hate any type of injury to their feet.
Even if it's just a marble or a ping pong ball,
they won't step on it.
Which means if they're all over the ground, she can't move!
D-D-D... Damn it! Curse you, human!
Serves you right, you stupid mini-mammoth!
I have plenty more marbles ready and waiting.
What do you say now?! Accept my proposal!
He's evil.
L-Like I would ever accept such a proposal!
I think we should go along with what they say.
We do have a hostage.
We'll be the ones to win in the end.
Hmph. Very well.
In that case...
I will destroy you under the conditions you've proposed!
Bring it on!
Seton Academy vs Darwin Academy Boxing Match
Wh-Why do I have to be the referee?
* Because she's a zebra
Kuroe-san!
You look great!

You've got this!
Since when have we had relations with other schools?
Cooking club...
Truly, you know no limits!

Ranka Fan Club
I jumped to the idea of boxing because she seemed slow,
but frankly, we won't know until it starts.
Are you sure about this? We can call it off.
No matter how strong the enemy is,
I'll face them if it'll protect my packmates.
That's what a boss does.
Then start by confusing her with your speed!
Got it?
Got it!
Um, are you sure we can't just talk this over?
I told you. You're the ones who started this war.
But that was thousands of years ago...
No matter what you say,
our minds will not change!
But...
That aside...
Why are we dressed like this?
These were the kangaroos' conditions for borrowing their ring.
It's fine, it's fine!
Stop that!
Right...
Ever since that day...
Man, I'm starved.
Let's hit up the cafeteria.
Stare...
Hey.
You're a Neanderthal, right?
That's right.
Why did your kind go extinct?
We lost to humans in the struggle for survival.
S-Same here! Same here!
Humans hunted down every last one of my kind!
* There are other theories
Humans need to just go extinct already!
Right.
I-I-I-I'm saying...
Would you like to help me make humans go extinct?
W-We can be friends who share the same goal!
Friends...
After that, the two of us
gathered others who were like us and formed Team EX.
All right! Watch me, An!
Time for the humans to go extinct!
Huh?
O-Onee-chan!
What do you intend to do if something happens to my sister?
She's up against a mammoth!
I'll fight her! Swap me in!
I won't let you!
Ranka...
I'll be the one to fight. Just stay there and watch.
She made her own decision to fight as our boss.
If you can relate to that kind of pride...
Then shut up and watch!
Onee-chan!
Ranka...
You can do this!
Let me out...
Yeah!
An, I'll get this over with quickly.
Honestly, this is just so...
Fighters, step forward!
You will fight three rounds of three minutes each.
If one of you is rendered unable to fight,
I won't let you have Jin!
you have either until I count to ten
And because An betrayed me, her boss, I'll punish her!
or until your second throws in the towel before the match is called.
You're still saying that?
I told you, I'm her boss, you damned modern species!
We will now begin.
Round one, fight!
Quit darting around so much!
Our brand-new ring!
Captain!
Crap!
Dodge to the right, Ranka!
Duck between her legs!
Jump over her!
H-Huh?! What do I do?! What do I do?!
Anything! Just don't stand still, dumb dog!
Ow!
Round one is over!
Return to your corners!
You were saved by the bell.
Wobble, wobble...
Hey, you okay?
N-No problem!
So much force behind the slightest touch... She's scary.
But look.
She's tired.
My deduction that she lacked stamina was right.
I tire so quickly when I haven't been exercising enough.
I think it would be best not to chase her around blindly.
Everyone!
Cheer for Ranka, okay?
Hitomi, just look at you...
Hitomi-chan...
Hitomi...
I'm rooting for you, Ranka-chan.
Okay! Just wait! I'll win for sure!
I'll be fighting right by your side in spirit!
Good luck!
You're not scared?
Huh?
You might end up captured for good.
Of course I'm scared.
And I really don't want them to do this at all.
After you and I had finally become friends...
Optimistic nonsense.
Once you know the real me, you'll forget any of that happened.
Huh?
I'm not a human.
I know.
You're a Neanderthal, right?
Of course, I did think you were a human at first,
but I got a little curious and looked into it.
Then why...
Because...
What you are doesn't change anything.
You're still An-chan.
Hey! Try to hit me already!
Don't wanna!
Are you really a boss?
You've done nothing but run from me since this fight started.
Do you think anyone would follow you now?
A boss needs to be strong above all!
Well, I'm...
I'm a boss, too!
Hmph. In our eyes, you don't have what it takes to be a boss.
Well, you're wrong!
Nope. You fail as a boss.
I'm still...
I'm still a boss who can protect my packmates!
Don't, dumb dog!
Ranka-chan!
One!
Two!
Three!
Ranka-chan...
Four!
I have to get up...
Five!
Six!
I have to get up!
Seven!
For Jin and Hitomi!
Eight!
Nine!
Return to your corners!
Boss, surely this is enough.
Don't be stupid! Nothing is over yet!
I think the modern species understand how we feel now.
There's no need to wipe them out.
This female said something to you, didn't she?
I believe I taught you that humans are mammals who lie.
That's enough, dumb dog!
Just let me handle things from here!
No! I'll never quit!
Look, damn it!
You need to worry about your own—
If you throw in that towel,
I'll never lick you again.
Dumb dog...
I promise I'll win!
Just for today, all right?
Jin?
There, there.
There, there. Good girl.
Okay? Just one more round.
Go get her, Ranka!
The most basic way to train a dog
is with lots and lots of praise!
I have to protect Jin and Hitomi, no matter what.
I must do something before they win An over.
Now's my chance!
Smirk.
Don't underestimate us extinct species!
One!
Ranka-chan!
Two!
Three!
Ranka-san tried her hardest...
But now...
Hang in there.
Ranka-chan, hang in there!
Hang in there!
Ranka! Hang in there!
Go for it! Go for it! Ranka!
Please stand up, Ranka-chan!
Go for it! Go for it! Ranka!
Get up, Ranka!
Nine, te—
D-Damned modern species!
Die! Die!
Slip! Get back!
Boss!
That's enough! There's no reason for us to fight—
Quiet!
We are Team EX, a gathering of species
who share the same hatred for the humans who wiped us out!
We may be different species, but our anger ties us together!
Don't fall for the humans' drivel!
I'm not asking you to trust the humans! I'm asking you to trust me!
You only need to do as your boss tells you, and nothing more!
Man!
Silence!
Then...
I'm leaving Team EX!
I-I'm... I'm not your friend anymore!
Not... my friend?
If you can't trust your friends,
you fail as a boss!
I fail... as a boss?
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
Ten!
Ranka-chan!
Ranka!
You did it!
Congratulations!
She hates me... An hates me...
An-chan!
Hitomi...
Wh-What are you doing?
Don't worry. I'm just going to treat your wounds.
Why? We tried to...
The fight's over now. There are no friends or enemies anymore.
She's a human,
but she's so kind...
I couldn't understand it at first, either.
But this is what humans are.
We only knew a small part of what they were.
I see. So that's why you chose to be in a pack with this female.
That's...
No.
An, you betrayed me, your boss.
So I have to punish you.
As of today, I'm banishing you from my pack.
Hey, Anetani-san...
If the boss ran you out of the pack,
you'll just have to find another pack that'll accept you.
An...
Man, I know what I said earlier...
But would you let me join your pack again?
B-But... we've already lost our means of revenge against the humans.
There's no reason for Team EX to exist anymore...
Hey, stupid mini-mammoth.
You can make friends without having common enemies, you know.
You just have to want to be together!
That's what it means to be friends!
Is that true?
Yes.
You and I can continue to be together?
Yes.
You and I can still be friends?
Yes!
You bastards!
How dare you do that to our boss?! You modern bastards must pay!
Well played...
Extinct
Hey, dumb dog.
I think you looked just a little bit like a boss today.
Jin!
Thank you!
You gave me a glimpse of something amazing today.
Thanks. I mean it.
On that note...
As a sign of our reconciliation, let's cook together!
Hey! What's it feel like to go extinct?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Don't be rude, Meimei-san!
Aw...
U-Um...
Are there any giant ground sloths... in the extinction department?
Yeah, there's one!
He absolutely loves pokeweed!
But he's bad at climbing trees, and he's very slow...
An-chan!
This is your first time cooking with us, isn't it?
Y-Yeah.
Don't bother, human!
An chose us! No matter what you say now—
Cherish Our Rivers
Let's eat!
Hitomi... I'm sorry.
I lied to you all that time, then did something so awful to you...
Actually, I was the same way.
When I first came to this school,
I thought I'd never get along with other animals.
But...
Those two, Jin-kun and Ranka-chan, taught me something.
Even if we're different species, no matter what happened in the past,
we can get past anything. It all depends on us.
So I hope you'll always be my friend from now on,
An-chan!
Sure.
An-chan!
I guess that means you and I are friends too, huh?
Let's be good buddies from now on, An!
Nice to know ya!
I know! The three of us should grab a meal sometime!
Bye-bye!
Come see us again, all of you!
We're all friends now!
This is a school for animals, where all sorts of animals live together.
It is a sacred cage where, even amid constant battles between species,
students learn the spirit of survival of the fittest
and make friends of many different species.
It is called...
Seton Academy!
Seton Academy
Join the Pack!
Seton Academy
Hey, Jin.
You were being pretty friendly with An and the others, too.
I just see no point in griping at species that are already extinct.
Still...
It would suck if you guys got caught up in the stuff they said about humans,
so you'd better not ever go extinct.
We humans will be more careful, too.
Don't go extinct, any of you.
I need you.
I want to be a mated couple with you!
J-J-J-J-J-Jin!
Augh! This again?!
Jin-dono...
King?!
Stupid lion?!
He's hurt bad!
What the heck happened to you? You're a lion!
Th-They have arrived at last...
They?
Who's "they"?
Yes...
A new threat has befallen Seton Academy.
And that is...
Fabre Academy!
