3rd period is in the can. But don't hold your breath for 4th for a few days... It might be monday or tuesday.

After lots of whip cracking, here is the penultimate episode of the semester.

Day 27-28 - Dream Goddess - Living the Dream

The only way to play the popularity game is the long game. *nods in approval*

That teacher is inappropriate!

PatrThom · Jul 25, 2015

Watching it work would be inappropriate.

What the hell is an E? Excused?

Also... NEXT SEASON ON HALFORUMS ACADEMY! Who is this mysterious new gym teacher the district sent to whip us all into shape and why does she look like a murder suspect from a few years ago...

I figured you'd know better than me, Mr. Moonpeople studier! No, it's definitely between D and F. And it doesn't seem to count as passing.

It should, according to this chart. It wouldn't be passing in the states, but it apparently is in Japan.

Hrm, the text made it sound like DG failed the Phys Ed test, but she got an E...

Celt Z · Jul 25, 2015

Woohoo!

PatrThom · Jul 25, 2015

Soo...Jess is the only one who didn't pass Academics?

She is the only one who was not in the class for the big exam, so she has no grade there.

Officer_Charon · Jul 26, 2015

Lana, I'm disappointed in you, young lady. You're supposed to be on hand to break up hallway shenanigans!

DarkAudit · Jul 26, 2015

When do we find out if the teacher made good on her promises to those passing the exam?

PatrThom · Jul 26, 2015

I find it amusing that Gusto is upset about being interrupted.

She hasn't yet. Neither has Jess. But everybody else's flag is cleared, so either they bombed or they have been rewarded, as each case dictates.

Eriol · Jul 26, 2015

What is the background music that's playing through most of it? 6:46 for sure, though it starts before that. It's freaking me out that I can't remember where that's from!

Null · Jul 26, 2015

I'm just amused that creepy-ass 2D Waifu guy Ronan is 6th in popularity.

It bugged me, too...until I finally realized it this morning.
Now you know how @GasBandit felt when he couldn't remember it.

What's really mindblowing to me is how Dirona and Lana are enemies, then have an affair, then break up, then fight, then do it all over again.

I've ridden too many domestics to be too surprised...

Did Wasabi and FF break up? I thought this episode might give a clue.

Cheesy1 · Aug 5, 2015

Well, it was either going to end with a death or a pregnancy. Death decided to keep its streak going.

Unfortunately, there's no way to check. Being murdered while controlling a student means I can't check standings or relationship statuses afterwards.
