Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

Fumizuki Academy is a new school that has implemented a special system for the first time.

All right, please begin.

The first part of this system is the Exam Summoning Battle.

Battles are waged between Summoned Beings of different classes,

which are given form by the latest technology.

The other key element of the system is classroom facilities which directly correspond to one's ability.

Students take a placement exam at the end of each school year,

and are then divided into six classes from A through F based on their scores.

Finally time to take the placement exam...

This ain't gonna be a walk in the park, but I can handle it.

Himeji!

Are you okay? Pull yourself together!

Leaving the room during the exam will result in a zero. Am I clear?

But teach!

What is it, Yoshii?

She's sick!

Yoshii...

You're late, Yoshii.

Ironman...

My name is Mr. Nishimura, not Ironman.

Here you go. You're the last one.

These are the results of your placement exam.

You'll be assigned to whatever class is written in there.

All right.

I guess I might as well tell you this now.

After everything you showed me last year, I had my suspicions that you were an idiot.

However, after I saw your score, I realized that I was mistaken.

I have to apologize for doubting you, Yoshii. You're not an idiot.

You're one hell of an idiot!

Just who are we letting grow up on their own?

One more chance! One more chance!

Never, never give up!

One more chance! One more chance!

Never give up!

Meeting someone else is the easy way out!

I knew what I would say before they even asked.

Do I look lovestruck enough?

I'm not gonna lose my cool, love's at stake!

Study! Study! Study! It keeps me up all night.

I've got a genius inside of me.

It'd be great if my dreams came true

because I don't care about anything else.

Perfect area complete!

I'll be waiting for you!

I can hear your voice from the perfect area ahead.

Fly! I won't stop!

Yeah, that's me, the person you just passed by.

Are we still friends?

I flunked our friendship test, after all.

No! I'll take it again! Again!

Come on, gimme another chance!

Something better awaits us in the future.

A better life awaits us!

First Period Idiots and Tests and Summoning Wars

Fumizuki Academy is a new school that has implemented a special system for the first time.

What the hell? Class F?

Akihisa Yoshii

That's the worst class.

And I thought I was gonna do well, too.

I mean, I have to have at least gotten 10% right...

Fumizuki Academy is a new school that takes pride in the fact that it uses only the latest study materials.

Wow!

System desks and reclining seats!

They even have laptops!?

Dear lord, a self-serving bar! Class A can have snacks whenever they want!

Straw floors... Floor cushions... Coffee tables...

This is my classroom!?

Reality is a harsh mistress at Fumizuki Academy.

If one wishes to have a more comfortable educational experience, he or she must make better grades.

That is the academy's central tenet.

God damn... So I guess this is a caste system, huh?

Yoshii, hurry up and sit down.

Fine. Where do I sit?

Wherever you like.

There's no seating chart!?

Excuse me, my cushion doesn't have any stuffing in it.

Just deal with it.

Excuse me, but there's wind blowing in from the crack in the window. It's quite chilly.

Just deal with it.

Excuse me, my table broke.

Just deal with it.

What the hell!?

Just kidding.

Yes, reality is truly cruel at Fumizuki Academy.

I'm Fukuhara, the teacher for this class.

I hope we'll have a-

I'm going to go get this fixed. You can study whatever in the meantime.

Man, this place sucks.

We're supposed to spend the entire year here?

Hey, man, you shoulda scored better on the test if you were gonna bitch.

Yuuji! You're in this class too?

Sakamoto

Yuuji

Look who else is here.

Yo! Looks like I'm stuck here too.

Shimada

Minami

Shimada!

Yeah, I'm not surprised you're in F.

Are you calling me an idiot?

Owowowowow! This shit hurts when chicks without any tits do it!

N-Nearly there...

Kouta Tsychiya

I haven't lived in Japan for a while,

so I couldn't read the questions, that's all.

Looks like it's pretty lively in here.

Hideyoshi?

Kinoshita

Hideyoshi

I'm in this class too.

Hopefully this won't suck too much.

I can drink to that.

Anyway, yeah, this is the worst class in the entire school.

All of the guys in here look retarded.

That includes you.

Thank goodness we have a cute girl like Hideyoshi!

I'm a guy.

I'm a girl.

You guys don't get it.

Girls are beings who are so gentle and kind that they can mend a broken heart...

Shimada, on the other hand, is rough, frightening, and flat...

Jesus Christ, my spine!

Ow...

Excuse me, I'm sorry I'm late.

I was in the nurse's office.

Himeji

Mizuki

Himeji...

Yoshii!

Yoshii!

What's the matter?

Doesn't that hurt?

You're gonna snap my spine into two!

It's gonna break... You bitch...

Nearly there...

Don't leave us, Voyeur!

Li... Li...

Don't talk! I'll call an ambulance.

Light blue...

Voyeur!

Well, at least I'm not the only girl here.

Voyeur! I'll save you!

There's no seating chart, so sit wherever you want.

Save him! Somebody save him!

Okay, thank you.

Umm, is that seat free?

Yeah.

Oh, so you got placed into class F...

Well, let's make the best of it-

You're still sick?

Yeah, a little...

This place is worn out as hell.

Like, the cushions might as well be rocks.

The floor's a veritable breeding ground for mold.

This isn't somewhere a sick person should be!

What's up?

I've been thinking about something.

Isn't school, like, a microcosm of society?

How dare they segregate us like this!?

And they'll treat us like dogs if we complain about it.

As such, we'll simply have to challenge them fair and square.

Once we come into power and gain the right to speak up, we'll tell the world about-

In other words, you want somewhere more amenable to Himeji, yeah?

Hey, come on! I was trying to make it sound all noble!

Why'd you have to ruin it?

To be honest, I was thinking the same thing.

Really?

I want to prove to the world that grades aren't everything.

I'm pretty confident, at least.

Wanna try it, Akihisa?

Yeah, let's try out an Exam Summoning Battle!

Exam Summoning Battle

Listen up, guys.

I'd like to propose something as your class representative.

I want us to engage in an Exam Summoning Battle!

What!?

An Exam Summoning Battle? What the...

Fumizuki Academy has a system called the Exam Summoning Battle, also known as the ESB.

Under the supervision of a teacher,

students can summon a Being with attack power proportional to their grades in a given subject.

They can challenge other classes using these Beings.

If a lower level class defeats a higher level one, they will swap facilities and classrooms.

Guys, are you happy with this crappy room?

Hell no!
