Soar High! (舞いあがれ!)

To become a pilot, ..

.. Mai diligently started preparing for the exams to get into the flight school.

Yes Stop.

I can not do it.

Three months until the flight school entrance exams

Hold on! Have a proper breakfast!

I can't be late for class.

I'm off.

I forgot my backpack!

In order for a student to qualify for the flight school exams, you must have completed

.. at least two grades and have a certain number of credits.

Mai now has to study not only for the entrance exams, but also for the university exams.

Be careful!

Two months until the flight school entrance exams

Thank you. - Thank you!

I wonder if you're all right.? - I'm sorry.

Are you sleeping well?

You have exams next month; you shouldn't come here.

I don't want to burden my parents, ..

.. and that's why I want to earn as much as possible.

Well, that's commendable of you, but...

Here

Thank you.

One month until the flight school entrance exams

Fly up!

Eighth week, first part:

To flight school!

Fallen leaves dance in the park

They show me how to fly.

I kindly thank them for that

It would be wonderful if I could be so light.

While confiding my concerns to a cat crossing the road,

I would like to see you again.

What words, what wishes, what scenery would you like

would they make you smile and make you happy?

I don't have a map, but I can go and look for it,

What I wish to give you.

Time and distance transformed into a bouquet of flowers is what

what I wish to give you.

Didn't you forget anything? - No.

This is from us to you, Mai.

Well thank you.

Do your best.

I'm off. - Take care.

More than 500 students aspiring to become pilots gathered from all over the country.

During six months, they will complete ..

.. three rounds of difficult exams, and only 72 of them get to the university.

March so as not to go out of the circle.

Yes.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

In the second round, in addition to physical and psychological tests...

.. they also hold various talent tests.

41.. 42.. 43.. 44.. 45.. 46.. 47.. 48.. 49.. 50

There should be no problem.

The last round is an interview directly at the school.

Aviation School, Miyazaki Academy

Another pair, please. - Yes.

Good day. - Good day.

It's my first time doing it... It's quite stressful, isn't it?

Not really. - What?

The fact that you are nervous is none of my business.

I... - Can you be quiet?

Sorry...

Do you have any other question?

Tell us what you excel at.

Miss Iwakura, you first. - Yes.

I have loved engineering since childhood..

.. and I enjoyed flying the airplanes I built with my friends.

And the kite we built...

Miss Iwakura. I was asking about something you excel at.

Not for what you like.

I'm sorry...

And what about you, Mr. Kashiwagi?

My forte is horse riding.

In the last race..

.. the riders needed eight steps in the bend between the oxer and the vertical jump.

I'm seven.

Oxer? Bend?

The route the horse must travel between the vertical and horizontal obstacles.

With a good horse, you will ride the round without a mistake.

I see.

Last question.

Why do you want to become a pilot?

Miss Iwakura. - Yes.

I want to become a pilot...
