The students prepare for an exam after the Director suggests that two students move to the regular class. After the test, however, only Tachibana is selected to join the new class, which angers Fukuhara, who thinks her gender is being used against her, and Shimura, who studied very hard for the exam. They ask for another chance and are given the job of the security detail at a festival. As a result, Fukuhara is invited to join, but she declines. An awkward moment occurs between Momoe and Shimura.

look this episode takes you for a ride. no wasted time though. they did great

this is a contendor for one of my favorite ensemble+cast writings. not for anything specific to the characters of this show but we will have these episodes where there’s a specific one we focus on but there’s always progress happening for their class+mates. it’s really cool 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ fukuhara was nice. she also has these earlier moments in the previous three episodes that makes learning more about her rewarding ,especially her relation_ship to her peers kitayama & momoe. i also was taken by surprise with what they had to say. ryuzaki also upset me & i felt as agitated as fukuhara was. then they delivered a revelation that genuinely caught me off±guard. it’s true unfortunately ,it’s us as people that decide what gender is competent or trust±worthy. we can’t destroy misogyny’s roots in one clean strike & we also can’t lash out at a system waiting to punish. sensei ryuzaki has earned her authority i really enjoy her. i also really enjoy how they circumvent final says in this show it’s actually really fun seeing somepony sweep in 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ fujigaya gets really annoying in this show fkmbkmewipoeriomf he’s so ignorant i start getting mad sometimes like ero32fewdodkmvkmlsd. he also kind’ve misses the mark of the character sometimes. he does suffer from the fact that . . . i stan him so i watch all these scenes knowing fujigaya taisuke is reading lines & trying to portray something but it is this veil of disconnect of believably selling teppei. he is funny ,he’s great at being cheeky. he’s not doing bad though ,brighter characters are a lot easier to maneuver 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ kitayama is okay ,that next episode is about to be a lot i can tell it already. sometimes him & a lot characters act incredibly rash & that’s something i have to think about more how i feel. this show is pretty enjoyable. like i meant what i said earlier i really enjoy what I’ve seen so far it’s a lot more innovative & hearty then i expected it to be.

An Inviting Episode...

...because it allows us to see the softer side of the female teacher, which I think is going to open up her character a little.

Also, this episode definitely pointed to a pairing, which, though expected, was a delight to see. I'm still interested in the plan which the Director has for Teppei and the rest of the "S" class.
