02x12 - Think Outside the Box Time

[bunniefuu]

The last math problem...

Half of the students
couldn't even get to that problem.

The other half barely had any time left

and had no strength to solve it to the end.

The only ones who could possibly
get full marks within the time limit

were these two.

TWELFTH PERIOD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX TIME
BY OKUDA MANAMI

Nagisa used to say all the time...

We're both humans,
so how are we so different?

You really have talent, Karma.

Yeah right...

Which of us is truly the talented one?

Basically, we use the word "talent"

to describe things in other people
that we can't see.

Like how Sugino easily fits in
with others,

how Okuda can devote herself
to her hobbies,

how Terasaka can take action
without thinking.

All of that is talent to me.

Everyone has a domain of talent
that I can't see,

and that makes all of us
the same in a way.

The problem is

whether I can see this problem
with my talent, or not.

Crap... I don't have enough time.

Don't be fooled by unnecessary words
like "atoms"

and "body-centered cubic structure."

The actual question is very simple.

In this box full of enemies,

I must find the volume
of my personal domain.

If both att*cks are of equal power,

it clashes at the middle.

Which means my domain starts
from that point.

I've sealed it.

Now he can't come into my domain.

I'm surrounded by eight enemies
in this cube.

So if I find the volume
of the eight sealed areas

and eliminate them from the cube,

I'll find A0, my domain.

If I grasp everything in this space,
I can find the right answer!

Space control...

It's the perfect theme for me.

A different kind of ruler than my father.

My father is trying to prove
that his methods are the best.

He's obsessed with that right now.

It may break people
but it won't help them grow.

I'll correct him and teach him a lesson!

To take control...

That's my way of paying him back
as his son!

I see it! One sealed area
is three trigonal pyramids

and one hexagonal pyramid.

LINED UP PERIODICALLY

Wait a second...

This doesn't require hard equations?

I was thinking only about this small cube,

but if it's a crystal made by atoms,

the same structure should exist
outside of this space too.

That means

the world doesn't end here.

Not only that,

but from my standpoint,

everyone has their own
talents and domains.

But that goes both ways too.

What I saw from inside the box
was only a fragment of other people.

If I make my domain known to everyone,

everyone else will do the same.

Everyone is the same size
and spaced equally apart.

If that is cut up by one box,

it will be divided into eight equal parts.

Each fragment will be one eighth.

The box consists of me as a whole,

and eight one-eighth fragments
from the people around me.

That means in this cube,

the ratio of me to the other eight domains
will always be 1:1.

If it's 1:1 within the box,

then, the volume of my domain
is half of the cube.

Look at that...

Even a grade-schooler would get it.

There's no need for long equations
or complicated diagrams.

All it takes

is to realize the world outside
of your own.

LAST PROBLEM
AKABANE KARMA 20/20 POINTS

Time's up!

Asano, time's up.

Just one more line...

Damn, but I know it!

LAST PROBLEM
ASANO GAKUSHU 17/20 POINTS

The storm-like end-of-term exams
ended just like that.

Well then, everyone!

I will return your answer sheets.

Did your second blade reach your target?

Let's not waste time
over the individual points.

This time's focus

is whether or not you made it
in the overall top 50.

The overall ranking should be posted
at the main building by now,

so let's announce the ranking here
at Class E as well.

SECOND SEMESTER END-OF-TERM EXAM TOP 50

I...

came in 46th?

Isn't Terasaka last place in our class?

So if Terasaka is 46th...

That means...

We did it!

We even kicked out the Five Virtuosos
and nearly dominated the top!

And Karma came in first
for the first time!

How does it feel to keep your word
and get first place in a high-level field?

It's nothing special...

Your match with the perfectionist Asano

was set with the last math problem.

That? It's kind of weird,

but I feel that had I not spent a year
with all of you

I couldn't have solved it.

That's how it was.

It took so long to get here.

It was our second wish,
next to the assassination.

We really won against Class A...

We can go to our desired high schools.

-Girls will be all over me!
-We did it, guys!

Yay! Lots of girls!

-It's like the last episode.
-Don't end it now!

Do you not feel well, Takebayashi?

A lot of things happened
after coming to Class E,

but I'm glad I stayed.

Stop that gloomy face!

That's right,
Terasaka's face is ugly enough.

-What did you say?
-He's choking!

-How was it?
-I think I can make it in my first choice.

You want to study architecture, right?

That's why I chose
a science-centered school.

The guys in Class A must be so shocked.

I bet they never thought
they'd lose to us.

As a side note, Class A
was doing well for the first half,

but as the second half started,

they got stuck
on some of the difficult problems.

I would imagine.
Blood-lust doesn't last that long.

We train for assassination everyday,

and it's hard to focus on k*lling all day.

If you want to cheat with that,

‪you'd have to take time and nurture it

‪rather than building it overnight.

How did we lose when we went that far?

Your studying wasn't enough.

That's all there is to it.

‪And I too let you guys down
‪with my results.

I will use this frustration for my future.

Even in high school, I will win

and search for ways for you to win too.

So... please support me.

Asano...

Can you... say the same thing

after putting your life on the line?

Chairman...

Life is full of surprises.

You don't know if losing
would cost you your life

until the battle is over.

That's why you all needed to keep winning.

It's my duty to teach you that.

I'll reform your brains by graduation.

Chairman...

it's clear to me now.

We can't win against Class E
with our current method.

Class E and Asano grew stronger
after defeat.

Our strength can't win
against their versatile strength.

We're sorry we fall short.

If you wish to do so,
please put us in Class E.

I feel like we could grow more there.

That's your answer, Chairman.

Asano!

Your face says you took the wrong action.

You finally look like a father.

-Are you alright?
-Goodbye, Chairman.

Now everyone,

you all earned the right to leave Class E,

so who wants to leave this mountain?

Of course no one does.

Now that we've got our second blade,
it's showtime!

There's no other place better fit
for the assassination.

You chose the hard path.

As a reward, I will tell you my weakness...

The building...

Please get ready to leave.

-Chairman!
-The board meeting this morning

decided that this building
gets demolished today.

You all will be moved to a new building

which will be used starting next year.

You can test out that new campus
until graduation.

New building?

The surveillance system
and escape prevention systems

‪meet prison standards.

The new Class E is a sophisticated
jail-like environment

where you can learn.

It completes my education policy.

You're telling us to move now?

We don't want to! We'll graduate from...

You plan to follow through
with your method to the end, huh?

Don't get me wrong,

you are no longer needed in my education.

Right here right now,

I will k*ll you.

-Koro-sensei's termination notice!
-The time has come...

He's used his secret last resort!

KORO-SENSEI'S WEAKNESS 31: LAYOFF

It's a wrongful dismissal!

And it works hilariously well
on that octopus.

A super creature resorting to a protest?

Don't jump to conclusions.

This is just a tool
to manipulate the target.

The reason why I came here,

is to assassinate you, Koro-sensei.

Because I don't need you
for my education anymore.

Are you serious?

You may be beyond normal,

but our octopus isn't something
you can k*ll as an afterthought.

Please pause the demolition for now.

I will get things done inside.

It's so sudden...

Chairman Asano, what are you thinking?

Now Koro-sensei,

if you don't want to be fired,

and want to protect this classroom,

you will have to gamble with me.

Gamble?

I've prepared five workbooks
and five grenades.

Four of which are anti-sensei

‪and one is a real grenade made for humans.

I've ordered them to
all look and smell the same

‪and detonates by removing the pin
‪which lifts the lever.

Remove the pin

and slide it in between the workbook
so that the lever doesn't lift.

Open it up and solve
the first problem on the right.

But the lever will lift if he opens it.

Yes, he'll explode almost definitely.

But you can't move an inch
until you solve it.

You will solve the first four,

and I will solve the last workbook.

If you can k*ll me
or make me give up on this gamble,

I will allow you and the Class E
to remain here.

Alright, let's see... Terasaka.

Use an equation to find the odds
of Koro-sensei winning.

You won't die even if you get hit
by an anti-sensei grenade.

The real grenade has to be left
at the end in order to k*ll you.

Four-fifths times three-fourths times
two-thirds times a half,

equals one-fifth, so 20%.

Correct.

On top of that, the octopus has to
go through four deadly grenades

while you have the option to give up
if it gets dangerous.

It's overwhelmingly unfair for him!

Terasaka,

the real world is one unfair thing
after another.

Especially between the strong and weak.

That's why I've taught you
to become strong.

So, will you accept the challenge?

It's also a test to see
how serious you are about teaching.

If I were you,
I would accept in a heartbeat.

Of course, I'll do it.

He hinted at his termination
and challenged an unfavorable gamble.

Even he can't turn it down.

According to the calculations,
it's the most probable assassination.

He has his strength to his advantage.

It's the chairman's assassination.

It won't explode if you solve it

‪and close the book as soon as you open it.

It may be easy with your speed.

O... of course!

Plane figure calculation?

Um, it's easy! You know!

You borrow one from ten,

and three is left, so four...
so about three...

I saw the speed of your reaction

and thinking
when I gave you a wire puzzle.

You can't pass this trap.

‪Sensei!

You got one hit.

You'll win
if you can take it three more times.

Now please go on to the next problem
before you heal.

Seriously? He can't survive
three more of those!

Is he going to lose
to such a simple method?

The weak can only k*ll the strong
by assassination,

but the strong can k*ll the weak
when and how they like.

I will spread this teaching
throughout the nation.

With the funds I got from
the Ministry of Defense and your bounty,

I can make more schools
all over the country.

Everything is about his education...

Come on, Koro-sensei.

Become the basis of my teaching.

Teach us Kunudon!

The school festival was a close one,

but it's the end for Class E this time.

Discontinuation!

-Boo! You're garbage!
-Get out of the way!

Oh, what brings you here, Chairman?

Notice of termination!

I'm sent to Class E?

Re-employment refugee!

The figure from the last math problem
is a truncated octahedron

which can be lined up without any spaces.

You can solve it like Asano,

but Karma was very smart
to focus on the ratio.

Next time, "Let Live Time."
