Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts (バカとテストと召喚獣)

- Nishimura: WELCOME TO FUMIZUKI ACADEMY.

A PREP SCHOOL IMPLEMENTING THE WORLD'S FINEST

AND MOST UNIQUE SYSTEMS.

- ALL RIGHT. YOU MAY BEGIN THE TEST.

- Nishimura: ONE SUCH SYSTEM IS THE SUMMONER TEST WAR.

A BATTLE BETWEEN CLASSES UTILIZING AVATARS

REALIZED WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY.

ANOTHER IS CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT

BASED ON THE STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE.

AT THE END OF THEIR FIRST YEAR, THEY TAKE A PLACEMENT TEST.

BASED ON THE RESULTS, THEY ARE DIVIDED INTO SIX LEVELS.

THE HIGHEST, CLASS A, THROUGH THE LOWEST, CLASS F.

- THIS IS IT. THE PLACEMENT TEST.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WAY HARD. BUT I GOT THIS!

( panting )

( gasps )

HIMEJI!

HEY! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.

- LEAVE THIS CLASS, AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN A ZERO ON THE EXAM.

NO EXCUSES.

NO EXCUSES? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- I'M PERFECTLY SERIOUS. STAYING HEALTHY IS A PART OF THE TEST.

- WHATEVER! HOW IS THAT FAIR? - YOSHII...

- C'MON, SHE'S OBVIOUSLY SICK, THAT'S NOT HER FAULT!

( panting )

YOU'RE LATE, YOSHII!

HEY, IRON MAN!

MY NAME IS MR NISHIMURA.

HERE, TAKE THIS ENVELOPE. IT'S FOR YOU.

IT'S THE RESULT OF YOUR PLACEMENT TEST.

YOU'LL BELONG TO THAT CLASS FROM THIS DAY ON.

COOL!

- YOSHII, I CAN TELL YOU THIS NOW.

WHILE OBSERVING YOU OVER THE PAST YEAR,

I HAD A SUSPICION.

WELL, THAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE AN IDIOT.

WHAT?

- BUT WHEN I HAD A LOOK AT YOUR TEST RESULTS,

I REALIZED I'D MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

I UNDERESTIMATED YOUR TALENTS, YOSHII.

YOU HAVE COMPLETELY SHATTERED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS.

YOU ARE, IN FACT, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT,

THE REAL DEAL.

A GENUINE IDIOT.

( theme song playing )

- Nishimura: WELCOME TO FUMIZUKI ACADEMY.

A PREP SCHOOL IMPLEMENTING THE WORLD'S FINEST

AND MOST UNIQUE SYSTEMS.

HOW COME I'M IN CLASS F?

THAT'S LIKE THE LOWEST RANKED CLASS.

MAN, I THOUGHT I DID BETTER ON THE TEST.

I ANSWERED ONE OUT OF EVERY TEN QUESTIONS.

- Nishimura: WELCOME TO FUMIZUKI ACADEMY.

A PREP SCHOOL THAT TAKES PRIDE IN HAVING THE LATEST EQUIPMENT.

WHOA.

THEY'VE GOT WORKSTATIONS WITH RECLINING CHAIRS!

LAPTOPS? NO WAY!

TELL ME THOSE AREN'T FREE FOUNTAIN DRINKS!

LOOK AT ALL THOSE SNACKS! I WANNA BE IN CLASS A!

NASTY MATS? OLD PILLOWS? SHORT TABLES?

IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A CLASSROOM?

- Nishimura: FUMIZUKI ACADEMY IS RUTHLESS.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE IN SCHOOL,

THEN YOU SHOULD DO BETTER IN SCHOOL.

THAT IS THE LAW OF THIS ACADEMY.

- NO FAIR. THIS IS VIOLATING MY CIVIL RIGHTS!

- WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT ALONE. GO AHEAD AND SIT DOWN.

- FINE. WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SIT, SIR?

- I DON'T CARE. WHEREVER YOU WANT.

THERE'S NO ASSIGNED SEATING?

( cushion deflates )

EXCUSE ME. MY CUSHION THING,

IT SEEMS TO HAVE RUN OUT OF ALL OF ITS CUSHION.

PLEASE PUT UP WITH IT.

( wind blowing )

- EXCUSE ME. THERE'S A DRAFT. IT'S COLD IN HERE.

PLEASE PUT UP WITH IT.

- EXCUSE ME. ONE OF THE LEGS ON MY SHORT TABLE BROKE.

- PLEASE PUT UP WITH IT. - NOT POSSIBLE!

( laughs ) I WAS JUST KIDDING.

- Nishimura: LIKE I SAID, FUMIZUKI ACADEMY IS RUTHLESS.

- OKAY. SO, YEAH, I'M YOUR HOMEROOM TEACHER, MR FUKUHARA.

I LOOK FORWARD TO TEACHING YOU AND ALL THAT STUFF...

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SOME TOOLS,

YOU GUYS JUST STUDY OR WHATEVER.

- MAN. THIS CLASSROOM IS RIDICULOUS!

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SPEND A YEAR IN HERE?

TALK ABOUT DEPRESSING.

DON'T COMPLAIN.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD'VE DONE BETTER ON YOUR TEST.

- YUUJI? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN HERE!

IT'S NOT JUST ME.

- ( chuckling ) HEY, WHAT'S UP? I'M IN CLASS F, TOO!

SHIMADA! OF COURSE!

IT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE THAT YOU'D BE IN THIS CLASS.

( growling )

- ARE YOU TRYING TO CALL ME AN IDIOT?

- YOUR BREASTLESS CHEST IS FORCING YOUR RIBS INTO MY EARS!

IT HURTS SO MUCH MORE THAN A NORMAL CHICK!

I CAN ALMOST SEE IT. ALMOST!

I GREW UP IN GERMANY.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT I CAN'T READ THAT STUPID KANJI!

YOU ALL ARE LIVELY, AS USUAL.

HIDEYOSHI?

- CORRECT. GLAD TO SEE YOU. WELCOME TO CLASS F.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

WELL, I GUESS THIS IS WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM A CLASS F.

THERE'S JUST A BUNCH OF SCRUFFY LOOKIN' DUDES EVERYWHERE.

LUCKY US.

- DOESN'T THAT INCLUDE YOU TOO, THOUGH?

- THAT'S TRUE, BUT IF WE CAN ONLY HAVE ONE GIRL,

I'M GLAD IT'S YOU, HIDEYOSHI.

THANKS, BUT I'M A GUY.

I'M THE GIRL, YOU JERK.

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.

GIRLS ARE KIND AND GRACEFUL

AND HAVE THIS SOOTHING SPIRIT ABOUT THEM

THAT MAKES EVERYONE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.

SOMEONE LIKE YOU WHO'S VIOLENT AND SCARY

AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY BOOBS THAT BREAK MY SPINE IN HALF.

PLEASE STOP! YOU'RE GONNA SPLIT ME IN TWO!

HELLO? I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

( gasping )

I WAS AT THE NURSE'S OFFICE.

IT TOOK LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD.

( class murmuring )

IT'S HIMEJI.

AH! YOSHII. HI!

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. THANKS FOR ASKING.

THAT LOOKS KINDA PAINFUL.

- NO! MY SPINE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BEND THAT WAY!

IT'S NOT NATURAL. IT'S ALSO NOT BENDING! IT'S BREAKING!

YES, SO CLOSE!

( gasping )

CALL A DOCTOR!

I SAW...

- DON'T SPEAK! ARE YOU OKAY, KOUTA? SAY SOMETHING!

THEY WERE LIGHT BLUE.

STAY WITH ME!

- WHAT A RELIEF I'M NOT THE ONLY GIRL IN HERE.

SEATS AREN'T ASSIGNED OR ANYTHING,

SO WE CAN SIT WHEREVER WE WANNA SIT.

- COOL. THANKS FOR TELLING ME.

SO, IS THE SEAT OVER THERE TAKEN?

NO. ALL YOURS.

- THIS SUCKS. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ENDED UP IN CLASS F.

- NO. I KINDA LIKE THAT WE'LL GET TO STUDY TOGETHER, YOSHII.

( coughing )

- OH NO. YOU'RE NOT STILL SICK ARE YOU?

YEAH, A LITTLE.

- WE'VE GOT THIS CRAP-DRAFTY CLASSROOM,

CUSHIONLESS CUSHIONS,

OLD WORN OUT MATS WITH DUST AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE,

NOT THE BEST ENVIRONMENT TO BE RECOVERING IN.

( clock chiming )

( coughing )

- SO, WHAT DID YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT?

I WAS JUST THINKING, SEE...

SCHOOLS ARE LIKE A WEIRD SOCIAL THING, YOU KNOW?

THERE SHOULDN'T BE A NON-EQUAL-NESS

AND A SEPARATION-NESS AMONG CLASSES.

AND BESIDES, NO MATTER WHAT US, THE LOWEST RANKED STUDENTS SAY,

WE END UP SOUNDING LIKE SORE LOSERS.

FOR FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE, I THINK WE SHOULD BATTLE IT OUT!

BASICALLY, YOU'RE SAYING

YOU WANT HIGHER QUALITY CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT FOR HIMEJI.

- WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO BLUNT?

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY CRAP LIKE THAT. IT'S EMBARRASSING!

WHATEVER.

ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT STARTING A WAR MYSELF.

- YOU SERIOUS? - YEAH.

I THOUGHT WE COULD PROVE THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN

WHETHER OR NOT YOU MAKE GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL.

PLUS, I THINK WE CAN WIN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY? WANNA TRY?

- YEAH! WE SHOULD DO IT! LET'S CALL FOR A SUMMONER TEST WAR!

HEY GUYS, LISTEN UP.

AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, I HAVE AN IDEA.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE CHALLENGE CLASS E TO A SUMMONER TEST WAR.

( all gasping )

YOU'RE KIDDING?

- A SUMMONER TEST WAR. IT'S SUICIDE!

- Nishimura: AT FUMIZUKI ACADEMY,

THERE'S A SYSTEM CALLED SUMMONER TEST WAR,

ALSO REFERRED TO AS ST WAR.

AS LONG AS AN APPROVING TEACHER IS PRESENT,

A STUDENT CAN SUMMON THEIR AVATAR,

WHOSE OFFENSE POWER IS BASED ON THE STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE

IN A PARTICULAR SUBJECT.

THEY FIGHT USING THEIR AVATARS.

IF THE BATTLE IS WON BY A LOWER RANKED CLASS,

THEY CAN EXCHANGE EQUIPMENT WITH THE LOSING HIGHER RANKED CLASS.

- NOW, I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE TIRED OF THIS CRAPPY CLASS!

All: WE ARE!

- RIGHT! THIS IS ALL WE HAVE TO DO.

WIN A FEW WARS, AND CLASS A'S AWESOME STUFF

COULD BE OUR AWESOME STUFF!

( all exclaim )

WE'RE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW!
