نخستین 200 خط.
Whether you believe it or not, the world around you
is filled with strange phenomena that science has yet to explain.
And in those unfortunate moments
when people come face to face with them,
they are helplessly thrown into the dark depths of fear.
But, there are those who choose to fight against the darkness
every day, shining a ray of hope into that chaos.
These warriors opposing the shadows are called "Psychics."
Your career path survey?
What? You still haven't managed
to get that thing filled out yet?
No. I don't have any idea what to put.
Well, I for one plan to attend a high school
where I can study UFOs.
I'm thinking I'll work at a game company.
I said I was gonna be a plain ol' office worker.
I'm a first-year, so I've got time to weigh my options.
Interesting. I didn't know
you were all thinking about this so seriously.
By the way, according to what I heard,
Takane's applying to Yuzu Pepper High.
Yuzu Pepper? Are you sure about that?
Yeah.
One of the top three schools in our prefecture.
Gotta have pretty good grades if you wanna get in there.
Is that right?
She's clearly in a far different league than us mere mortals.
Tsubomi. Good for her.
Huh? Seriously?
And another thing about Yuzu Pepper.
It's affiliated with a British high school,
which means the chance to study abroad!
Studying abroad, huh? That sounds fun!
Yeah, I remember these.
I had to fill out one when I was in school.
Still, you're much better off than I was.
I mean, you already know exactly
where you're gonna end up in the future.
Where?
Where do you think? Right here, of course.
It's your true calling, you know!
Really? But this is only a part-time job.
Sure. For now.
But who can say? In the future,
this may grow into a reputable agency
with a small full-time staff.
Ah. I guess that's true.
Hey, Master Reigen.
When you were in middle school,
did you plan on opening an office like this?
Huh? No. Are you kidding?
What middle schooler would do that?
I see. Then why did you end up doing it?
Uh--! Oh, yes, of course.
Well, you see... Ah-hem.
At a certain point, I came to the realization that
I possessed these unique and quite extraordinary powers.
As it happend, I'd pretty much gone as far
as I could go in the job I had back then,
so it was a perfectly timed opportunity
to embark on a new challenge.
In other words, you only moved onto this career
after mastering your first one.
You really are incredible, Master Reigen.
It's true.
I've finished cleaning the bathrooms.
Good. But, don't feel like you have to check in
after every little task.
Yes. Right.
Hello, Shigeo. It's good to see you.
Oh, h-hello.
Our client should be here any minute.
Listen up, Serizawa!
You may be an official team member now,
but don't lose sight of the fact
that you're still a rookie around here!
You keep your eyes peeled and watch how I handle
this client, and you might actually learn a thing or two.
Right! I'll try, sir!
But Master Reigen's younger than he is.
I came upon this at an antique shop
during my travels. It seemed interesting,
so I bought it, but ever since then,
I've had nothing but bad luck. It's gotten to the point
where I can't even sleep at night.
Everywhere I go lately,
people are telling me I look unwell.
Would you use your powers to examine it?
It would be my pleasure.
Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for this?
It cost 80,000 yen.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy!
Sir, allow me to put your mind at ease.
After checking it out, I can assure you that there's no--
Master.
Yes, what is it, Mob?
I don't mean to interrupt,
but you probably shouldn't touch that anymore.
Huh?
There's a lot of bad energy.
I'm not sure if it's a deep-seated grudge, or what.
But, if we leave it alone, it could become dangerous.
Upon reflection, let's exorcise it.
Please wait at the café upstairs for your own safety.
Mm. Yes. Of course.
You've raised an intriguing point, Mob.
Okay.
Now. Serizawa.
What do you think?
You're asking me?
Well, I guess there's not much to say,
except that thing's obviously cursed in some form or another.
If that's the case,
then why didn't you speak up earlier, Serizawa?
Uh--
What would have happened if I'd somehow
failed to notice the curse? Did you consider that?
U-Uh--
This was simply a test to find out
if you were perceptive enough to pick up on my mistake.
Ah! Then, in other words, you're saying I...
Now, in light of the fact that you're new here,
I'll give you a second chance to prove yourself.
Uh--
You perform the exorcism.
Uh--yes, sir!
I did it.
What do you think, Mob?
It's clear that Serizawa's very powerful.
Yes! Nicely done, Serizawa.
It looks as though you've redeemed yourself.
Oh. I guess the blast did that.
No. How could I be careless enough
to break an 80,000-yen antique?
I gotta go fill out some credit applications!
Hold it! Not to worry.
You just leave everything to me.
What are you going to do with that?
Rice Grain Big Bang!
This is one of Reigen's special moves,
where he takes a seemingly simple rice grain
and unlocks its true potential.
He really fixed it!
In this moment, as he marveled
at the true extent of Reigen's abilities,
Serizawa realized how big the world truly was.
Is something the matter, Shige?
You've barely even touched your dinner.
My career path survey's due soon,
and I'm not sure how to fill it out.
I'm so confused.
You're not gonna graduate college for another
ten years yet, you know.
How about you just put down "office worker"
for the time being?
Really? Don't you think that's a little bit too simplistic?
I still haven't decided what I want to do
for high school, let alone after.
Well, if you're not sure what you wanna do,
it might be a good idea to think of a job
that's well suited to the abilities you already have.
For example, let's see. A magician, maybe?
So simplistic.
You know, it doesn't really matter
all that much what you write down at this point.
Dimple.
Put whatever you want, and if your career path changes
down the line, then so be it.
This is my future we're talking about.
I have to take it seriously.
You really are responsible to a fault, kid.
Have you considered your future, Dimple?
That's kind of a thoughtless question, isn't it?
For a disembodied evil spirit, I mean.
Guess you're right. Sorry.
Hey, hang on a sec. Now that I think about it.
Didn't I...
I did. Almost forgot about that.
Oh, yeah, the career path thing.
Well, after I graduate high school, I guess I'll end up
helping out at the family farm.
Possibly even take over the place.
I'm already all set up to continue on to high school.
I've got a track and field recommendation.
I'm gonna find me a job that'll let me
work out my muscles.
My parents are dead set on me becoming
a civil servant, but with my grades,
I'm afraid that might be a stretch.
I'm gonna study to become a veterinarian
since I love animals so much.
Hey, Onigawara, weren't you gonna be a manga artist?
Goda, what the hell are you trying to do to me, man?
I definitely remember you were gonna go to
--a co-ed high school... -- Come on!
You can feel free to shut up at any time!
What's wrong?
Seems to me everybody has a pretty good idea
about their futures.
