Now! μ's will blow away the competition and claim our victory in The Wisdom of Monju Hyper Battle Quiz, High School Special!

Yeaaah!

Maki, I can't hear you!

Yeah…

Speak up!

It's no good making a racket before they've even started recording, Nico.

O-Oh. Right.

We'll be watching you from the audience. Do your best!

Win it for us!

We've got it covered!

[Fade in/out.]

Welcome, everyone! Are you all ready for the Wisdom of Monju Hyper Battle Quiz? Today, we're presenting our High School Special!

Enjoy this special battle between special high school students gathered from all across the country! Now, let's introduce them in order…

They all seem really smart.

Well, they are the toughest fighters gathered from all across the country.

I wonder if our team can win…

Oh, they're about to introduce μ's.

…And here are our school idols. From Otonokizaka Girls' High School, please give a warm welcome to μ's! Could you explain one more time what exactly a school idol is?

Of course. We're a school club whose activities involve being idols.

Most of our activities are based at our school, but we perform in contests and events outside of school too.

Thank you very much. There has been a huge boom of school idols in recent years, with students just like μ's performing all across the country.

These girls usually captivate audiences with their vibrant performances, but today, they'll captivate you with their quiz knowledge!

I'll explain the rules again. It's 1 point for each correct answer. The first team to 10 gets a lavish prize. However, a wrong answer means your team is out.

First question!

Vega of the constellation Lyra, Altair of the constellation Aquila, and which other star of another constellation make up the Summer Triangle?

Hold on! I have no clue!

I-I just thought I'd better hurry up and buzz in and pressed the button without thinking!

The answer is Deneb of the constellation Cygnus.

That is correct, school idol team! You've earned 1 point!

It was obvious from their expressions that Honoka and Nico didn't know the answer. Will they be able to make it through?

Let's trust in Maki.

[Fade in/out.]

Well, each of our challengers so far has made a valiant effort! Only two teams have been eliminated! This is a close one!

All thanks to Maki…

But this quiz throws in game elements halfway through, so that'd be Honoka and Nico's time to shine!

What do you mean, game elements?

Well, you see… Look, here they come.

A treadmill! I see those on TV all the time!

Now, next up is the challenge zone! One of you will stay behind to answer questions while the other two run on the treadmills.

Every ten seconds, part of the answer is revealed. In other words, the longer you run, the easier it is to answer!

For this quiz, no matter how hard the question is, you'll get the answer if you keep running. If you can run until the end, that is! Now, choose your runners and answerer!

Honoka, we'll run. Honestly, we've got more stamina than brains.

Yeah! I'm confident in my running, at least!

We'll leave the answering to you, Maki.

Yeah. I'm counting on you guys too.

Question 8—what is my favorite food?

How are we supposed to know that?!

Now, get running. The speed of the treadmill will gradually increase! Do your best!

[Fade in/out.]

What the… Isn't this a bit too fast?!

Ahaha, this is fun!

That's ten seconds. The first letter is “K”. Just so you know, there are four parts to reveal in total, with the final one being two letters!

There's no way to figure it out from just the first letter.

Come on, run! Run!

[Fade in/out.]

*Puff* *Pant* I-It's gotten tougher.

Isn't it fun?! C'mon, hold out for 10 seconds!

I-I can't!

H-Honoka?!

Ohhh, and our contestant Honoka is out! There's just three seconds left! Two, one…

[Fade in/out.]

Ten seconds. The second letter is “o”.

“Ko”? I have no idea what it is.

Now, we will increase the incline! The angle will go up and up!

Hey, you never mentioned that!

*Huff* *Puff* You think this'll stop me?! Behold my true power!

Aaaaaaggghhh!!!

Amazing! Unbelievable! I can really see why Nico here is the president of her club!

Ten seconds. The third letter is “f”. Surely you must have got it by now!

I have no idea at all!

Well then, run your heart out for the final ten seconds!

Gaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
