Kuwabara and his friends are confronted by a manipulative teacher who threatens to cancel Okubo's license to work ( in most cases it is prohibited to have a job while attending school) if any of the four boys gets into another fight within one week. Since Okubo's family depends on him working, Kuwabara agrees to the deal.Okubo also says that his mother is sick and if he doesn't work his family might starve.
On his way back home the three robbers that attacked Keiko ambush Kuwabara, who tries to escape to keep his part on the deal. But when he hears the robbers calling him a coward, he changes his mind and comes back, telling the robbers that they can beat him up all they want but he will not lay a finger on them. The teacher, who had followed Kuwabara,watches the scene in disbelief,since he expected Kuwabara to attack them.Yusuke and Botan, levitating in the air, are just as shocked, watching Kuwabara being helplessly beaten by the three robbers.
The following day the teacher adds a new clause to the deal: Kuwabara and his friends must all score higher than a 50% on the next science test. None of them are bright students (especially Kuwabara, whose grades are even worse than Yusuke's) so they'll all have to study hard.
But Kuwabara has lots of enemies. In the library, as he looked for books to study, a group of them appears. Again Kuwabara refuses to hit them back, and he's beaten up again.
When Okubo sees the poor state Kuwabara was in after all the beatings, he begs him to give up, since he knows Kuwabara is doing it mainly for him,but Kuwabara refuses. Yusuke, of course, is witnessing it all, and is deeply touched by his old rival's courage.
At night, Yusuke sees that Kuwabara has fallen asleep while studying. So Yusuke enters his dream and helps him to study by a series of Q&A..
The morning of the test, yet another group of boys plan to attack Kuwabara. Chasing him, they run into two girls. One of them, named Masako, is knocked down and bangs her head on a wall, passing out. Yusuke is afraid that if Kuwabara is beaten up once more, he will be late for the test which he studied so hard for. So he enters Masako's body and chases after the boys, whacking them all down easily. Kuwabara, worried about the test, doesn't even notice the commotion behind him and goes straight to school. When Yusuke leaves her body, Masako stares in shock at the boys knocked down at her feet.
Kuwabara succeeds in the test. The teacher is furious, but Iwamoto offers him a solution: he erases one of Kuwabara's answers. The teacher returns the test to Kuwabara, saying he got below a 50% and that Okubo's license to work is revoked.
Noticing the fraud, Kuwabara threatens to sock the teacher, but Yusuke, still a ghost, attempts to hold back his fist, warning him that if he punches the teacher he will ruin everything he had worked towards this past week.
Kuwabara senses him and his plea, and lets the teacher go. But Takenaka,witness of the fraud and also of this last scene, intervenes and demands that the teacher correct Kuwabara's grade.
When Okubo tells Kuwabara that they had succeeded in the test and that his license was revalidated, Kuwabara smiled to the sky, right in the direction where the Yusuke and Botan were levitating, and thanked Yusuke.
