Ep. 13: Schelmans Sternensystem zwingt Schüler zum Stehlen oder mit dem Ausschluss zu rechnen

Schmelman decides to instruct everyone personally. Alan spies on them and overhears them talk about the Abyss, ballots and the country of Alcia. Schmelman gives students 2 stars, explaining students who gather 10 join the military straight away, but anyone who loses them is expelled. Stars are earned by performing tasks or stealing from classmates. Murdoch and Hina realise this is the origin of Star Stakes. Rihito is given no stars and told to steal one or be expelled. Licht claims not to care as he is only there to convince his adopted brother, Sakai Tokikaze, to return home. Doan, the delinquent, breaks into people's lockers and steals their stars, including Sakai's, threatening Sakai's grandmother when he resists, as Doan's parents are her landlords. To prevent expulsion everyone shares their stars but none is left for Sakai. Sakai refuses to return home because soldier's families get more food and their grandmother is already ill from malnutrition. Murdoch gives Sakai his remaining star then confronts Doan just outside the gate, warning him the moment Doan leaves academy property he will cripple him before his military career even begins. Schmelman interrupts and it is revealed Rihito pickpocketed Doan's stolen stars, leaving him with only two and unable to graduate yet. For his loyalty to his classmates Schmelman gives Murdoch two stars. Rihito keeps two stars and decides to stay to convince Sakai to return home, reasoning that as long as they are at the academy they can send their own food rations to their grandmother.
