Summary[]
The results of the mock exam are back. Yuka (ranking 42) and Takeshi (ranking 57) did very well, ranking in the top 100. Takeshi is nevertheless jealous of Matsuoka (ranking 36). Naoto (ranking 246019) and Ippei (ranking 299000) get a lecture from sensei and flee their homes after getting scolded by their respective parents for doing so poorly. Takeshi designs a kaiju with an automatic intelligence ability. Thus it can speak. It takes over the school computers and uses them to hypnotize sensei and his class of students including friends Minako and Matsuoka. The class becomes a gang of authoritarian goons who treat other students ruthlessly. This goes on for what may be days or even weeks, during which time Yuka tutors Naoto and Ippei. Ippei confronts Matsuoka, and ends up getting a punch in the face for it. Finally Gridman detects the kaiju and summons Naoto to fight. After a considerable struggle Gridman takes out Shinobilar with Thunder Axe. The hypnotized students and teacher are then freed.
