Paranormal Academy ~Awakening Trump Card~/Event Scenes

01

Translator: nabstranslate
	We finally get to star in a movie! Plus, it's even a lead role, I'm sooo excited—!
	Hey, hey, calm down, Shiki. But I agree with ya, it really does feel like we've been promoted.
	Um... What's this "Different Battle Power" that's written in the script outline?
	Oh, right, you seem like the type who doesn't read comics often. Let's see... I think it's something like, each person fights with a unique power.
	So... it's like a super human-type thing?
	It's easier for you to read it than for us to explain! I'll bring it next time!
	I'll bring a comic I read recently too, then. It's interesting.
	...Oh, Jun... I also know... some interesting comics, so... I'll bring those too...
	T-Thank you very much... (Even Natsuki knows about it... So they like that sort of thing, do they...)

02

	Anyway, let's read the script and try to get our characters. Oh, seems like there are lessons for the action scenes.
	It's helpful that the character's personalities aren't too different from our own.
	I see, the effects for the battle scenes won't be added 'til later. So there won't be any effects while we're shooting.
	Acting... without effects... seems difficult.
	That means we'll have to imagine and react like we're getting damage from the attacks.
	In that case, we have to understand each other's abilities, not just our own. As well, we must grasp the imagery of attacking and defending. ...There's not a minute to waste. Hurry, let's compare our characters and image.

03

	Um, Jun's role, "Reiji"... His ability is the "Absolute Zero", though you say it as "ICE SWORD".
	Why is the way that it's spoken completely different in the end? They should have just called it "ICE SWORD" to begin with. *
	Fufu~ You don't get it, do you, Juncchi!? This is great, yanno! You give it a cool pronounciation that'll emphasize its strong meaning! That's mega mega important!
	Hah... I see...
	...So, he has the ability to freeze anything he cuts with his ice blade. And my role, "Shisho"— his ability's "High Stamina and Power", "OVERHEAT".
	Jun and Hayato's powers... are somehow easier to understand...
	It's like using a sword to cut or punching the enemy with your hand, yeah?
	Punching, huh...? I want to find out how to do a strong looking punch.

* In this scene, "Absolute Zero" and "High Stamina and Power" are written entirely in kanji, while "ICE SWORD" and "OVERHEAT" are the pronounciations written for them in katakana; using hirigana or katakana to show how a kanji is read is called yomigana, A.K.A furigana. In shonen manga, it's quite common to see 'special attacks' being given long kanji names that describe the attack itself, while at the same time having a yomigana pronounciation (usually a catchy English name).

04

	Er— I'm "Ibuki". My power is "Wind Manipulation", or "JET STREAM".
	Your character seems like someone who'll flip up girls skirts with his power! Sooo gross~
	Don't say that like I'm the perv! It's just a role, afterall. Come on, next, next!
	...Then, my name's... "Shigure"... The power is "BLOOD RAIN"... ...Manipulating water... I don't need to do any special moves, but... that'll make it even harder...
	Last of all is my role "Susumu", with the power "Above and Below the Sky", "TENAGE×TENSAGE"! "TENAGE" refers to absorbing the energy, and using "TENSAGE" makes it go BOOM—! It's that kinda power~
	In this story, Shiki-kun and Natsuki are the antagonists.
	My role's the super elite school council! Wait, what's up with those eyes!?
	Well, well, the three of you use a lot of CG effects, so you better be ready for image training!

05

	..."If you involve yourself further... um... the student council will be your enemy—" ... Enemy...?
	"You think you can win against me with that sort of power? AHAHAHAHA"... *coughs*
	Hah... hah... Slowly, we've managed to say the lines without hesitating..
	Yeah... I think... it's because we repeat them until we're used to them.
	Hey, this kind of action-packed performance is new to all of us, right? Shouldn't we practice outside of the lessons too?
	Well, that's true... but is it possible without a trainer?
	Someone who's good at action... Ah, that's right! Why don't we ask Rencchi!?
	I see, we could ask Michiru-san and the rest of the martial arts specialists. They've got acting experience as well. Okay, everyone— let's go get some advice from our seniors!

06

	Everyone here stretching properly? You might hurt yourself if you don't.
	Don't worry! I already stretched my arms and legs!
	When we asked Michiru-san for tips on action recently... We got some advice, but the problem was our lack of stamina...
	...Haruna's good at sport... so he's got no problems, but... the rest of us are a bit...
	That's why! We gotta build up our stamina by running! Let's do our best!
	It's easy to say, but building up stamina isn't all that simple, you know. Well, everyone, let's start from light jogging! Alright, let's go!
	YEAAAH!

07

	Hah... Building up stamina is so hard...
	...I thought... I built up some stamina by doing lives and stuff... was it just my imagination?
	Hah, hah... Harunacchi, how come you still look so composed—!?
	Nah, nah— I'm burnt out too, doing this.
	Alright... nothing good's gonna come out of lazing around. Let's start up again!
	OK! How 'bout we practice the dialogue while running!?
	That's great! Well... ...I'm a bit conscious of other people staring at me, though...
	Uh... "I... won't lose! I'll definitely stop you with this power!"
	Nice, Juncchi! Then, me too! "Ahahahaha! It's useless! I'll crush you all!"
	"TAKE THIS! Fist of justice, OVERHEAT PUNCH! It's unexpectedly easier when we all do it together.

08

	Hah... hah... let's end it here today.
	Ah, yeah... it's been a while since I've ran a full day like this.
	...Juncchi! It's so mega awesome that you spoke up like that! You got some guts, eh!?
	I'm.. bad at sports... but they trusted me with the role, so I want to take responsibility.
	Awesome! That's so pro! I can't lose either!
	...Hm, Natsuki? Isn't your face a bit pale?
	That's true. Did you run too much? Have some water and rest a bit...
	...No... I'm fine, thanks. Don't worry...
	(Natsuki...?)

09

	(Compared to the first day, I feel like I'm not even out of breath when I run now.) Shiki-kun, you're training alone as well? Working hard, are you?
	I don't have stamina... but if I work hard, I'll totally catch up to you!
	I'm waiting... but that said, I don't have much stamina either.
	Oh right, Juncchi! The office got some fan letters just now! See, it's not just one or two letters that have been written in wait for our movie!
	...There's this many people waiting for it...
	That's right, Juncchi! Let's work hard for the sake of our fans!
	...Yeah! Then, Shiki, let's run while practicing the dialogue like before!
	Okie-dokie! Let's practice heaps and surprise the others at the lesson!

10

	It's finally time for the action lessons... I moved more than I thought.
	Maybe that's 'cause you were so diligent in the running practice.
	Alright, my turn is next! Guys, do it properly, okay!? "Ahahaha, senpai~! I'll let my underlings crush you!"
	"Uwaaaah!"
	Ey-hey! Nice reactions, you guys! ...Natsukicchi! Your face! It turned blue!
	Uh... It's okay. I'm fine... don't worry about me.
	Did I get way too into the mood and mess it up...!?
	It's not convincing to hear you say that with that sort of face at all. You sure you're okay?
	Natsuki... come with me after this. There's something I want to talk about with you.

11

	Natsuki... I've been thinking that you've been acting strange, but now I understand. When you saw me faint, you remembered that, didn't you?
	That's...
	I've already told you to forget about it.
	But Jun...! There's no way I could forget... it was... my fault...! I... took the piano away from you...! Ever since that day... I've regretted it...
	Ahh, enough! Natsuki, you're such an idiot!
	...!

12

	Getting troubled and overthinking it on your own... you're so stupid...
	Jun...?
	Natsuki, did you forget? It's not as if I can't play the piano at all...
	...But Jun... you don't play it like you used to...
	It's true that I don't play it as much as before, but that's my own problem. It's not because of you at all. But, if me not playing piano gives you painful memories... ...Sorry. We were always together... but I didn't realize it.
	Jun...?
	Afterall, playing the keyboard with everyone in the band is... fun...
	Uwaaa! Natsukicchi! Juncchi!
	!?

13

	Starring... in a movie with you guys makes me totally excited... ...That's why, if I ever do anything to annoy you... I'm really sorry!! But, I seriously want to make this into a good movie! So let's work hard together from now on. Huh? Hold on, were you guys having an important conversation?
	...Well, something to that extent. But we've said all there is to say... Aside from that, you've already said everything else.
	...Yeah. Shiki, I'm sorry I made you worry... It's really fine this time.
	...? I don't really get it, but I'm glad you're looking better now!

14

	Alright, let's wrap up the opening scene. Good job, everyone! Although, acting as a high schooler who isn't myself feels kinda weird.
	Get used to it! Haaaah~! I can hardly wait for the epic battle scene! SHOOOSH! BOOM! Ah~ If only I could use it in real life~!
	If I could fly like Ibuki, I wouldn't be late even if I overslept.
	And I want to try fighting a martial arts champ. I'd get popular for sure!
	I dunno if you'd win, though— I mean, it's still just the normal you on the inside, yeah?
	Meanie, let me keep dreaming! If I just trained a little more...
	...Fufu, this topic always brings up the excitement... Jun, what do you think... you'll do?
	I don't really... well.. if I had Reiji's power, maybe I'd use it to cool down during summer.

15

	Fwah... Finally, we're onto the last battle scene from tomorrow onwards. Hm? Natsuki, what're you doing?
	Mm... I'm observing the movement of the water... Since my role is a water manipulator...
	I see. It's hard to understand, unlike my punch... And observing water... that's so cool, Natsuki. Okay, I gotta do it thoroughly too! Like Takeru said, to defeat the enemy— imagine the attack... Hi-YAH!
	Oh? So you're practicing the punches, Hayato. I think I'll practice my wind powers too— Eer... where did they put the fan in here... Ah, that's right. Ren said it'd be good to use kenpo for the pose. Putting the arms and legs like this...
	H-How about me!? How do I practice the flames of darkness!? Someone, help~!!
	I apologize for coming late... Um, what are you guys doing?

17

	"Uwaaah!" "T-This is a sword of ice...? It froze the person I cut!"
	"Surely it's your "power"! You've awakened it, Reiji!"
	"U-Um, are they alright? They're still alive, aren't they?"
	"...Tch, the reinforcements are coming. Shishio, Reiji, retreat!"
	"Haaah!? The proof is in your eyes!" "Damn... Let's go, Reiji!"
	"This school's dark side... The student council... Shigure... Do you know him?"
	Alright, let's hurry and check the recording! ...Oh, Jun, you look nice!
	Ooh, when they put on the ice CG, the scene is complete. You learn something new everyday... ...Producer-san, what do you think? Please say something... I want to do everything I can. So... please help us.

18

	"It's "ABSOLUTE BLADE"! Cool name, right?"
	"Uh... Isn't something like "ICE SWORD" easier to understand?"
	"Haha, names aside, your power awakened when you were in despair, didn't it?"
	"Right! Now we have more powers to rely on. Ibuki, what's our next move?"
	"Got it. First, I'm curious about the puppet that Reiji saw." "If it really was the student council... we need to be more careful."
	"...I don't think it's like that. The student council that called me out..."
	The producer praised us just now! Our shooting pace was great!
	When you say it like that, I'm glad. Let's work hard and make this the best!
	Yes... we are High×Joker afterall. If we put all our power together, then surely...

19

	"This power... this is the counter ability weapon...! Isn't it my father's...?"
	"Professor Minazuki...? Tell us, Shigure! How much do you know?"
	"Reiji... let's wash our hands of this case! Otherwise..."
	"Well, well, well. Senpai~ What are you doing? Ain'tcha supposed to be in the student council?"
	"...Bad timing. It's going to hurt a little, Reiji."
	"Huh?" "UWAAAH!"
	"Weaaak! He fainted in one hit? This lame-o should drop outta the school!"
	"(This guy is too dangerous awakened. Then, I'll...)"
	Cool, Natsuki! Even your movement and lines are restrained... what a boss at acting...!
	Kuuuh~...! Me too! I wanna hurry up and fight with the cool powers too!

20

	"This is the auto weapon's power reactor... Then, this is the key... to the enormous energy source..." "Haida, it's you."
	"Haa... ha... Theeeen? Do you wanna fight me, senpaaai? HYAHAHAHA!"
	"Open your eyes! Your power is being used by the academy!"
	"SHUT UP! ...Ah, my head's gonna break... They... what are they doing!?!"
(Everything turns purple)
	"Ugh, this is bad...! The power reactor...! Are they going to blow up the entire school!?"
	"Uwaaaah! Aahh... ahh... The energy explosion... it's all mine...!" "HYAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS THE BEST FEELING! I'll crush you ALL!"
	Producer-chan! How was my acting just now? Didn't I look evil? ...Hm? Candy? Oh, it's for a sore throat? Thankies, Producer-chan! I'll work hard for the next shot too!

21

	"HYAHAHAHAHA! Begone, you piece of junk! I'll burn this part of the school!" "Crumble, crumble, and CRASH!!" "Haaah~ This sound is unbearable~ The best headache meds!" "...Hah? What's wrong with you lot? Moving around... it's so irritating!" "Dogs of the school... You want me to remove my proof? ...You're TRASH!" "I'll KILL you all!" "Ugh... my head... BEGONE!!" "Ku... kukuku...!" "Every power is GUILTY!" "Seems like you've been defeated! Hyahahaha!"
	Kukuku! Finally, we're up to the battle against Juncchi and the others! I'm gonna win!
	Shiki, you're the antagonist... so you can't win.
	Well, that's true... rather than winning or losing, it's all 'bouts the feeling! I've become one with Susumucchi now! I'll have a blast 'til the end~!

22

	"Damn, how many auto weapons are there!? It's endless!"
	"It's like special military training... The whole city's blocked. We've got nowhere to run."
	"This chaos... what's the cause of it? Something must've happened..."
	"HYAhahaha! I found you~!"
	"Uwah—!"
	"Uuu... What... what is this pressure..." "H... Hey, Haida!?" "Oi, Reiji, hang in there... Damn it, I'm drifting away..."
	"...Being the opponent of this mysterious power user is our job as the "Public Safety Force"." "Susumu Haida, I'm going to arrest you!"
"HYAHAHAHA! Let's. Start. Of. The. End!"
	There's only a little more of the battle scene left to shoot. We're about coming to the end, aren't we... ...No, it's nothing. I can't lose focus until we finish.

23

	"Now, Reiji! He can't use both of TENAGE×TENSAGE's powers at the same time! Aim when he's attacking!"
	"Got it!" "HYAAAAAAAAA!" "...I did it!?" "UWAAAAAAAAAH...!!"
	"Tch, that easy, huh. But next time it'll be the end! The end of you all!"
	"That easy... no, that's wrong." "Could it be, Reiji, the true nature of your power..." "Your true power nulifies the energy that you touch, so that means...!!" "Reiji, stand up! You can win this!" "Don't loosen your attack. Cut Haida's energy! I'll support you!?"
	"What're you guys planning? You think I'll let you come near me!?"
	"Reiji!" "Ugh..." "I'm sorry... Please take care of the rest... If it's you, then I'm sure..."
	"It can't be... Hang in there, Shigure!" "I won't forgive... I won't forgive you!"
	Natsuki... It's cut, you can stand up. Shiki-kun, are you alright?
	Hah... ha... Yeah, thanks. But you're already on your limit, Juncchi.
	Thanks for everyone's support. I'll show them that I can surpass my limit.

24

	"...What was that... Teleportation!?" "Shit! Shit! WHAT WAS THAAAT!?"
	"Hah... Just then... did time stop for a few seconds? Hah..." "I froze the atom... the time..." "Ugh... but I'm on my limit...!" "...Haida, I'll end you with this last attack!" "UWOOOAH! TIME FREEZEEEEEE!"
	"No way... me... the strongest... lose..."
	Haaah...! Somehow, it really does feel like I just won a difficult battle...
	Good work, Juncchi! I seriously fought too, but... you're acting is seriously amazing!
	...It's all thanks to everyone jogging and practicing a lot. Not because I'm good or anything...
	Noooooo! Juncchi, you're... we're all awesomesauce! Check out the applause!
	Director-san, Producer-san... ...Thank you very much...

25

	Wow, film shooting really is large-scale... It was so much fun!
	...Yeah. No one got hurt during the shooting, everything finished smoothly... I'm glad.
	It's still early, but I'm excited for the release? You think there'll be an official press meeting?
	The promo poster should be all over the place soon.
	...Ah, by the way. Isn't today the day they start selling the new release? See, it's the one that Shiki-kun likes. The holy sword comic or something like that...
	Oho~! It looks like you've gotten caught up with the series!
	N-Not really... It's just for reference.
	Then... should we go to the bookstore... once we're done?
	Heck yeah! Plus, we can check out whether the poster's up or not!
	I'll buy the book for reference along the way... Shiki-kun, don't tug on me. Hah... Well then, Producer-san. We're off.
