03x11 - There Is Only One Rule in Love: Bring Happiness to Those You Love.

[bunniefuu]

"There is only one law in love.
It's to make your loved one happy."

Stendhal, Journal Entry, 19 June 1805

This is amazing, Mr. Ayanokoji.

Kiyotaka is definitely a genius!

It's meaningless to be born a genius.

Remember, here,
no matter how bad your DNA is,

this place will nurture you
into an excellent being!

Sir.

Just because he's my son,
don't you dare treat him specially.

Even if it leads to his demise,
I don't mind.

What a rare sight, Arisu.

I didn't think you'd be that interested.

An experiment artificially designed
to create a genius.

There's no way I would not be interested.

You never change.

That one.

He's the teacher's son.

If I'm not mistaken, his name is...

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Now,

we will begin this year's
final special exam!

Each class,

please choose five out of the ten subjects
and select the confirm button.

I was looking forward to the day
I would be able to compete with you.

It's destiny, as fate would have it.

Destiny, huh?

That's quite an abstract thing
for you to say.

I'm a maiden after all.

Even though he worked so hard
to get into Class C,

he has to face Sakayanagi.
What a pity, Ayanokoji.

I feel sorry for him.

Please don't involve
your personal feelings.

Pardon me.

Well, then,

let's decide the event
for the first round.

ENGLISH - JAPANESE
MATH - FLASH ARITHMETIC

LOTTERY IN PROGRESS

Normally, I would say,
"Please go easy on me," but...

Please face me with all your might.

LOTTERY IN PROGRESS

FIRST ROUND
BASKETBALL

Your strategy is
to preserve the ace, Sudo, correct?

The rule for this event is

only one member may be replaced
at any given time.

COMMANDER'S RULE: ONLY ONE MEMBER
MAY BE REPLACED AT ANY GIVEN TIME

I see.

They can still fight
even without Sudo, no?

Strange. They're too unresponsive.

Let's use the Commander's Rule.

Player change.

Good job!

Substitute Ryotaro Hondo for Ken Sudo.

As expected,
he would read an easy strategy like this.

Now you're talking.

What...

What's the matter?

You can't keep up with an amateur like me?

Damn it! You have experience
playing basketball, don't you?

You took it lightly until now, huh?

No.

You're just weak, that's all.

Shut it, you rascal!

If I can shake Sudo mentally,
he will collapse just like that.

No matter how good your technique is,
if your mind is frail...

Frail?

How old is that info?

Once you're out,
the tables turned, basketball club.

Say what? Don't underestimate me!

You single-celled organism.

Kaji!

-Yeah!
-Wow!

That's Sudo for you!

Nice shot, Onodera!

We still have time!

Ike and Sudo,
they're such a perfect match.

Winner, Class C.

Heck yeah! We did it!

I see.

He has improved too.

They won! They did it!

We won against Class A!

FINAL SPECIAL EXAM
GAME 1: 3X3 BASKETBALL - C

So...

He quickly drew Sudo as his ace card.

Second round.

Typing skills competition.

SECOND ROUND
TYPING SKILLS COMPETITION

Another elective event from Class C?

It seems like the luck of the draw
also lies here.

SECOND ROUND
TYPING SKILLS COMPETITION

HIDEO TONOMURA: C - KENTA YOSHIDA: A

THIRD ROUND
ENGLISH TEST

CLASS C ENTRY:
INOGASHIRA, SHINOHARA, SATO, KARUIZAWA

FOURTH ROUND
MATH TEST

CLASS C ENTRY:
YUKIMURA, HIRATA, WANG, KUSHIDA

FIFTH ROUND
TRADITIONAL ARCHERY

CLASS C ENTRY:
MIYAKE

Not bad, I say.

-Let's go!
-Only one left!

FINAL SPECIAL EXAM

We have won the events
that we submitted so far!

That means...

If we get the next lottery...

The next event is...

SIXTH ROUND
FLASH ARITHMETIC

-Why?
-Oh, no, their choice.

Please choose the students for this entry.

I cannot afford to let this one slip.

Our entries for this are...

Emi Tamiya and Kouhei Katsuragi.

All right!

Ours will be Chiaki Matsushita

and Rokusuke Koenji.

SIXTH ROUND
FLASH ARITHMETIC

The rule for this event is

the class with the highest score wins,
not the overall score.

Even if Koenji does not take it seriously,

Matsushita will cover it.

There are ten questions in total.

The further you progress,
the more difficult and rewarding it gets.

Let's begin!

QUESTION 1
READY

What? What is that?

-It's impossible!
-Too short!

PLEASE FILL IN YOUR ANSWER

That Koenji.
He doesn't take it seriously at all!

Koenji.

Down to the 10th question.
Answering time is over!

COMPLETE

Wasn't that last question just impossible?

Okay.

As per Commander's Rule, the Commander

can only provide the answer
to one question.

PLEASE CHOOSE A QUESTION

I will answer question 10.

PLEASE FILL IN YOUR ANSWER

What about you?

Same here.

PLEASE FILL IN YOUR ANSWER

This is my first time doing this,
but this is quite an interesting game.

The answer to the last question

is 7,619, right?

PLEASE FILL IN YOUR ANSWER

My, my. Now this is a surprise.

PLEASE FILL IN YOUR ANSWER

I will now announce the result.

Top scorer is...

Kouhei Katsuragi.

Winner, Class A!

-No.
-Figures.

Damn!

I told Katsuragi in advance.

If he betrays me,

I will expel a student
who's been working hard in Class A.

FINAL SPECIAL EXAM: SIXTH ROUND
FLASH ARITHMETIC

QUESTION 10

I'm glad Koenji did not get serious.

A power that can't be controlled
can't be incorporated into strategy.

Indeed.

Nonetheless, it is three wins
and three losses.

You caught up with us.
Why do you look so depressed?

One more event and this fun time is over.

Next is...

I will now announce the seventh round.

SEVENTH ROUND
CHESS

I cannot believe
this event was chosen last!

COMMANDER'S RULE: COMMANDER MAY ISSUE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR UP TO 30 MINUTES

The Commander may issue instructions
for a long period of time.

In other words,
our abilities will decide the outcome.

Unfortunately, I'm good at chess.

Oh, my, oh, my.

What a coincidence.

He's the best test subject there is.

But I...

I can't help but feel pity for that kid.

Why is that?

He's been in this facility
since the moment he was born.

He doesn't know the love of a parent,

nor does he know the warmth of human skin.

COMMANDER
OFFLINE

FINAL SPECIAL EXAM: ROUND 7
CHESS

And now, let the final round begin.

SUZUNE HORIKITA
CLASS C

It's only been a few months
since I learned chess.

So go easy on me, okay?

Sorry to disappoint you,
but I only learned it in a week.

No matter who I'm up against,

there's no one out there stronger than me.

KIYOTAKA AYANOKOJI

Somehow...

I don't feel like I will lose.

A twisted way to compete, won't you say?

Is it per Sakayanagi's instruction?

You too.

Is he someone with good skills?

Who knows.

Oh, well.

Can I ask you something about Ayanokoji?

I've been thinking,
since the deserted island incident,

that Ayanokoji is the one
who's been maneuvering everyone.

Why do you think that?

Just a hunch. Tell me your answer.

I don't have to answer anything.

I don't even know
what you're talking about.

Really?

But you do look upset.

I expected you would shake me up.

However...

You can't shake my stronghold that way.

Can you afford the time

to talk?

It's getting interesting.

I'd love to continue
watching this game to the end,

but it's about time I intervene.

COMMANDER - ONLINE
CLASS A

I'd say, "I can still do this,"

but, honestly, I'm grateful for the help.

I can't believe there's
this much difference in ability.

COMMANDER C
OFFLINE

Are you not interested in joining in,

Ayanokoji?

If you hold back like this,
I will take the victory from you.

With my strength alone...

Ayanokoji!

Is it time for the tide?

PER THE RULE, CLASS C COMMANDER JOINED

This is finally our match.

MASAYOSHI HASHIMOTO - COMMANDER A
SUZUNE HORIKITA - COMMANDER C

Hey, hey, you two.

Aren't you pacing too fast?

This makes our battle look pathetic.

Right?

What do you think, Ayanokoji?

Does my move reach into your heart?

Yeah, it hurts so much.

I feel like I'll be pushed down
with just one mistake.

I wouldn't worry about that.

You will never make a small mistake.

Then I'd be happy if you'd just give up.

That I cannot do.

If there is no mistake,

then I will break into your mind
with my ability.

What a happy time it is.

I know you're not someone
who'd be finished off by that.

This move...

SUZUNE HORIKITA
COMMANDER C

Say, Arisu,

if the children here
grow up better than anyone else,

if this facility becomes commonplace,

I think that's just
the beginning of misfortune.

Please rest assured.

I will break it down for you.

You are most impressive indeed, Ayanokoji.

It was a good time.

It saddens me that it has to end.

However...

It has to end.

Ayanokoji...

I don't want to lose.

I...

I don't want to accept defeat!

I want to win!

I can't do it.

The only one who has the move
that can crush Sakayanagi...

is you!

This move...

Very impressive, Ayanokoji.

That move just now.

It was impossible
for a normal person to pull that off.

There's no doubt in it.

But...

I have a reason to win too.

Genius is a birth factor.

The existence of such a facility
is meaningless.

As someone who inherits
truly excellent DNA,

I will prove it to you.

That is the salvation I must do.

Also...

There is something
that I have to tell you.

I lose.

That's it. The winner, Class A.

That was a good match.

It could have gone either way
until the end.

However...

What?

That last move.

Did you really think of everything
before executing it?

What else is there?

What a wicked person you are, Ayanokoji.

It'd be nice if you could
just tell her honestly.

What's this about?

That match.

The one who should have won that match
was you, Ayanokoji.

At that time, he ex*cuted that move

beyond what he thought was the best move.

No way! Did you deliberately
intervene in our exam?

Tampering with Ayanokoji's instruction,

Horikita twisted the output.

Why did you not press a charge against it?

Do you think he can do something
that would make him

reveal his hidden circumstances?

It's your fault

that you gave Ayanokoji
that one protect point.

However, no matter how miserable,
a win is a win.

Why don't you celebrate it?

You're good at provoking others, I see.

You will pay dearly for this.

You children

often say very interesting things,
don't you?

You're more than welcome to try.

Bewildered by and indulged in desire

The lurking fixer is about to trip

Bending the meaning of words
No true intentions spewed, man is lonely

Show off your superficial side
Deceive to survive

Breath or not?

Obviously a foolish question
But in conclusion, it's breath

Stop your thoughts and share the O2

Overthrow for anything and anyone's sake
Be alive

Expectations are worthless
And it's fine

Don't believe in a living soul

Strategy x Strategy

Has it always been an etude?
Since when was it a mission?

I can't seem to answer

Never forgive your heart

And brandish your fate

With a scornful smile, set up the scenario

Let no one block it
And have it your way

Bewildered by desire
Be alive

As expected from you, Ayanokoji.

It is my loss.

You're very honest, aren't you?

A defeat after restarting
from the same step as then.

I'm happy with this result.

In this special exam,

you could have focused
on one-on-one events

and competed with me directly.

Why didn't you do that?

I did not want your ability

to be known to those around you.

So you're being considerate.

I'm glad I fought you.

Now I have found my answer.

You're definitely a genius.

You're not a fake for sure.

You saw me, huh?

In the White Room.

Since then, I have come
to enjoy playing chess.

I trust that one day,
I will play against you.

I am so captivated that
I want to know more about you.

I've always been chasing after you.

Although we never met,
I feel like we're childhood friends.

Please allow me
to apologize for one thing.

Apologize?

I told you why I avoid one-on-one events,

but that was a lie.

The truth is...

I wanted to be with you
as long as I could.

Together in one place,

where we can feel
the warmth of each other.

That is an important thing.

The warmth of human skin

is not a bad thing.

Please remember that.

What do you mean?

I'm late,

but this is a message from me.

Now, let's go back!
