The chapter opens with a discussion of the hard part of science classes. The narrator argues that lectures are not the hardest part of the class, but the most important part of a student's education. He argues that students should be given the opportunity to present their work in front of a group of other students. He compares this opportunity to watching a new episode of a popular anime. The professor, however, does not approve of this type of teaching. He tells the students that they should not waste time listening to boring lectures. He also reminds them that they are not allowed to bring in food or drink in class. The students protest that they do not want to waste their time in such a way. They argue that they have no choice but to comply with the professor's orders. They also argue that the professor is trying to control them by making them behave in a way that is not appropriate for their social class environment. The teacher argues that the students are too upstanding to be responsible for such behavior. He points out that students are no longer in high school and that it is strange for a professor to enforce such strict rules. The class then turns to the subject of the test that will be given at the end of the chapter.
