7O3X Fastest Finger First (ナナマル サンバツ)

The first group in Round 3 got very heated, didn't it?

And now, it's time for the second group to start.

Please line up in the order of your placement on the paper quiz.

Mikuriya-kun is in front of me...

What if I can't answer anything?

All these other people ranked really high on the paper quiz!

So what?

There are four in front of me, too.

He's right. I can't get overwhelmed now.

I'm finally about to face Mikuriya-kun!

The second group will now enter.

Hold it!

I'm playing, too!

Question 11: "Q: Why Do You Answer?"

Akira!

Huh?!

U-Um... Sekigawata Middle School third-year, Sonohara Akira-kun...

has, for some reason, just come in wearing an Asagaoka Girls' uniform!

He's certainly unique.

Senpai, you're actually enjoying the spectacle, aren't you?

Wow, he looks really cute.

This is no time to admire him.

Look at the participants.

They're totally distracted from the game.

This was his plan!

Excuse me. Can we start the quiz now?

President Sonohara?

P-Prepare your boards

for the multiple answer question to determine your initial scores!

The question!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

Too slow!

My blood is boiling right now

Name the zang-fu organs.

The zang-fu organs, huh?

Zang-fu Organs

The full question is...

In traditional Chinese medicine,

the body and organs are described in terms of the "zang-fu organs."

State the names of the eleven zang-fu organs.

The number of correct answers I get here will be the score I start off with.

I need to at least get close to Mikuriya-kun.

Even I know a little about this.

Yes, most people know the names of at least some organs.

But the challenge is knowing which ones are zang-fu organs.

It seems like an easy question that gives everyone a chance to get some points,

but relying on common knowledge could backfire on you.

All players, show your boards!

Koshiyama

I'm starting off in first place alongside Ohkura-san!

The correct answers are:

the liver, the heart, the spleen, the lung, the kidney, the stomach, the large intestine,

the small intestine, the gall bladder, the urinary bladder, and the san jiao.

What's "the san jiao"?

Never heard of it.

"Of the zang-fu organs, which is the only one that isn't actually an organ?"

"The answer is the san jiao." It's a well-known question.

It's easy to get the zang-fu organs wrong,

because there are so many organs to choose from.

If even one wrong answer is given in the quiz to determine your initial score,

you get zero points.

Ashiya | Shibuya | Shibata | Mikuriya | Koizumi | Koshiyama | Sonohara

Mikuriya-kun got zero points?

Zero points!

And you're supposed to be a quiz freak!

Akira-kun...

It's not nice to laugh at other people's mistakes.

What's this, Koshiyama?

Feeling confident because you've got an early lead?

Starting with zero points? Fine by me.

I'll show all of you.

We will now start the fastest finger board quiz from these initial scores.

Question.

The first manned space flight was completed by Gaga—

That was fast!

The person who buzzed was Mikuriya-kun!

A wrong answer after buzzing means a loss of three points.

He could be disqualified! How could he buzz in so soon?

If you answer correctly after buzzing in,

you can add your points to your own score

or subtract them from another player.

The choice is yours.

What will Mikuriya-kun do?

Now, everyone, show your boards!

McCandless

Leonov

They're all rather divided on the answer.

Tereshkova

Akiyama Toyohiro

Moon

And Mikuriya-kun, the one who buzzed in, said...

Alan Shepard

Alan Shepard.

He was the only player to answer correctly!

The first manned space flight was completed by Gagarin.

The second was completed by which American astronaut?

The correct answer is Alan Shepard.

The emphasis was on "first"?

It was barely noticeable.

That's the perfect difficulty level for this round.

And you buzzed in based on that?

If someone else beat me to it and subtracted points from me, I'd be out anyway.

And if I'm going to get knocked out regardless,

I'd rather be the one responsible for it.

Now, Mikuriya-kun,

please decide how to distribute your four points, including your extra bonus point.

I'll keep them all.

Mikuriya

Dude, that first-year from Miyaura is amazing.

He's already over ten points.

What am I doing?

What made me think for a second that I could beat players who are leagues ahead of me

in both knowledge and technique?

I have to calm down.

Don't force anything, and listen closely to the questions.

I have to get some answers right!

Question.

O, Romeo, Romeo—

That was me!

What was that?!

Well, that scene recreation was a total flop.

Yikes...

What was Yukicchi doing?

I wanted to do more of Romeo and Juliet!

Curse you, Akira!

All right, show your boards!

Romeo and Juliet

"O, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Verona

Romeo and Juliet

is a famous line that appears in which Shakespeare tragedy?

Romeo and Juliet

Capulet

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

The answer is Romeo and Juliet.

Sonohara-kun, please distribute your three points.

Okay, then...

Subtract two points from the squinting guy!

What?!

Ka-boom!

Ka-boom!

Koizumi

K-Koizumi kun has a negative score, which means he's disqualified.

You demon...

Who should I subtract the other point from?

I know! Boss Gorilla!

You cocky little punk!

Well, those are the rules.

President Sonohara!

I'll make this game interesting for all of you.

W-Well, I'll take over from here.

With Sonohara-kun's subtraction of points,

Koizumi-kun is out,

and Ohkura-kun's score is reduced to fifteen points.

He's no longer one question away from a possible win.

What was Asagaoka thinking when they made up these rules?

I guess siblings do think alike.

I only wanted to make things exciting by adding an element of negotiation...

Everybody, shut up!

Rules about subtracting points aren't that uncommon.

Players can play however they want if it's within the rules!

The only thing that bothers me is this kid's attitude.

Who are you calling a gorilla?!

Oops. Sorry.

I take back the gorilla thing.

Good.

And that's okay with you, Ohkura?

I don't want the regular meet to be sullied by this kind of quibbling.

Yeah... I guess you're right.

Ohkura's so grown-up.

And he's younger than me...

I hope I grow up to be that mature.
