The hubbub dies down with the arrival of distinguished students, including the optimists Isagani and Sandoval, a peninsular. Mixed in with those studying are those engaged in raucous horseplay. Makaraig’s large house teems with student activity. Padre Million launches into a sermon about the ingratitude of the youth and segues into the impertinence of students requesting to establish an academy for teaching Spanish. Angered, Placido declares he has had enough and storms off. Padre Million insults him for philosophizing. Placido reasons that he could not have recited and been absent at the same time. Padre Million further announces that Placido has had fifteen absences despite his having really had fewer. Placido is also unable to answer, and when the professor asks him to recite, he makes mistakes, earning him a bad mark.

Juanito signals to Placido for answers, but Placido cannot help and is in turn called upon by the professor. The professor next calls on his favorite, Juanito to answer a question about the composition of mirrors. He calls on a student he sees yawning, and the student immediately launches into a memorized lesson about the classification of mirrors, but is bewildered when Padre Million asks him questions requiring analysis. Padre Million asks students to recite lessons from memory, giving good grades to those who make no mistakes. Placido decides to stay as it is nearly examinations and the teacher hasn’t noticed him yet, as a consequence of which he may fail the school year. As a result he is late for the class roll call, the most important part of class. On their way to class, Placido is detained by a student attempting to convince him to sign a protest against the proposed Spanish academy. With Paulita is Doña Victorina who smiles at Juanito.

Among those seen is Paulita Gomez who notices and smiles at Isagani. They arrive at the university entrance where other students mill around, some observing the people arriving at the neighboring church. With him is Juanito Pelaez, a rich student and teacher’s pet who is indifferent to his classes. He wishes to withdraw from his studies despite his having been previously known to be a promising pupil in his province. Placido Penitente walks reluctantly to the University of Santo Tomas. Padre Camorra supports her petition and the Captain-General relents. Meanwhile, Juli is in the premises to request for the release of her grandfather, Tandang Selo. On his side are Padre Irene and Don Custodio. Padre Fernandez believes it is a reasonable request and believes the people’s interests can eventually no longer be denied. Padre Camorra and Simoun are against it too. Padre Sibyla opposes it as he thinks it is a form of rebellion, and a challenge to the prestige of the University of Santo Tomas. The final point for discussion is the youth’s request to open an academy for studying Spanish. The Captain-General also settles the Tiani schoolmaster’s appeal for a better building by suspending him for complaining. Among matters settled is the banning of one type of sport pistol to prevent bandits from acquiring more, a decision that came at the heels of Simoun’s having been held up and despoiled of his pistols. With him are some friars, Don Custodio, Ben Zayb and Simoun. The Captain-General is on a working vacation in Los Baños.
