"I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen with Asano"
"You just got back from that other world, and you're really heading back there. I can assign another Oversight member or someone else. I know Quake is in the area" Coulson said
"No I promised to do something if that he did something I would and will step in" Deadpool said
"And this becoming strong since the next batch of exams are coming up" Coulson said
"Exactly" Deadpool said loading a gun
"Okay" Coulson said as he watched Deadpool walk off "Prepare for something big to go down on that mountain"
"Yes sir" a SHIELD officer said
"Okay let's see what these dickwads are up to in there" Deadpool said booting up a camera to see inside Asano's office. He saw the Big Five were talking with Asano "Mic on"
"We worked hard and I think the results speak for themselves. The Fall festival was a win, so I feel satisfied" Asano Jnr said
"Even with Class-E so close" Asano asked
"Well sir, they entered with a battle plan, but in any case winning by a wider margin
"Would have been what, impossible? They were running a restaurant, so you are saying there was no way for you to stop them?" Asano asked "Not even a simple case of food poisoning. Come now one must think outside the box
"Is he serious?" Deadpool asked "Okay, just one more little thing and I may shoving my blades up you arse"
"With all due respect sir, I say you policy is to blame, somehow Class-E has grown stronger in leaps and bounds in the past year, enough so they compete with us, even more irritating is the fact that my own abilities have grown, spurred by an insulting rivalry, in fact my min-ah friends feel more or less the same
"Nice save" Deadpool said
"I can only conclude that your philosophy is wrong. Strength isn't relative, at least true strength which one does not lord over the weak" Asano Jnr said
"Excuse me, but my I have a word alone with your friends?" Asano asked "It would only take about three minutes or so"
"Go on, we'll be fine. After all what is three minutes in the grand scheme of things" Ren said as Asano jnr. left. Then the principal started to use his brainwashing techniques on the other big five
"Son of a bitch" Deadpool said "I guess it's time to remind the prick of what I promised
"A few whispered truths to unravel that absurd idea of strength. My philosophy as you call it, teaches on far less fragile. I'll be handling the final exams myself. In the absence of the weak strength has no meaningful foil. Let us go back to square on" Asano said as the big five left, his son glared at him as he left.
"Here for a reminder?" Asano asked as Deadpool showed up
"Good guess" Deadpool said
"Oh don't worry. Class-E will not prevail this time. And in case they do. I have something planned. Something you won't stop" Asano said
"You do realise I have stronger friends that you?" Deadpool said leaving.
"I can't have heard you sir, you want more funding?" Karasuma's aid asked
"That's correct. The clock is ticking is it not, who knows what will happen before this is all over, I need to consider the risk to my students you understand. So one cannot expect to keep secrets cheaply. Keep it in mind that you are on my turf here" Asano said "I can sense you're moving forward with some final plan"
"This is exhortation" Sudukawa shouted
"That's enough Sudukawa" Karasuma said
"We can't let ourselves keep being shaken down for hush money by this man, by the time March comes around he'll have siphoned off more than the bounty's worth" Sudukawa said
"I said enough, he's entitled to compensation since we are using his school" Karasuma said holding back his aide
"Quite, wire it to my account if you would be so kind" Asano said
'This is a mistake. Once Oversight hears about this I'll send in someone to deal with you personally. But he has shrewd instinct. He even picked up on the final assassination we have in the works' Karasuma thought 'Well played principal you have the Ministry of Defence in the palm of your hands'
"Okie dokie, time for an overview of what we covered this, I hope you're ready for class work battle" Korosensei said as he was at the chalkboard "I assume you'll be aiming for the top spot Karma"
"I don't know, an idiot like me have trouble getting their heads around the hard stuff" Karma said
"Now as you know in the first term I gave you the goal of the top 50 for midterms. Back then I was a little hasty and I didn't take how gifted your opponents were, but now I think we can do it; You've matured in mind and spirit. I now think that original goal I set for you will be with reach, whatever they have in store. This time you'll place in the top fifty and maybe win back you tickets to the main campus and with heads held high graduate from Class-E once and for all
"You make it sound so easy., But Class-A have a new teacher to help them prep: Principal Asano" Sugino said
'I will personally overseeing your lesson as of now, best of luck then. I expect great things for you' Asano said
"So it has come down to that is it?" Korosensei asked
"Bad luck for them, who wants to be brainwashed by him, you know what I mean. That steely eyed glare
"His teaching methods are hardcore and he can't even move at Mach 20" Sugino said
"If he's the one prepping them for the exams. They probably lost the will to defy him" Isogai said
"I feel sick" an A-Class student said as she looked at the work. 'Ten times easier, twenty times as fast.' she thought 'I have to get a message to oversight. Namely to Director Diggle, she would know what to do' the girl said
"Hashizume, Tanaka, Fujii, Kondo, Okuno; you seem to be falling behind
'Shit, I know what's going to happen now
"Sir, I'm sorry it's impossible to keep up. If we were the big five maybe we could. But pleas this is too much" one of them said
"Impossible you say, maybe it's because you don't know what it means to fight, step out into the hallway and I'll explain it to you. It will only take three minutes" Asano said "Just a little pep talk
'No, you don't give pep talks. You give brainwashing' the girl said as the student all came back in chanting about killing Class-E
"You do not study for yourselves, boys and girls. You study to grow stronger, to crush your enemies: Class-E! When the lower grades witness your triumph. They'll be eager to follow in your footsteps. They will know you're elite" Asano said "And devote themselves to joining your ranks. Make no mistake, its people like you that push humanity forward."
'Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap not now!" the girl said as she ran over to a waste basket and ejected her lunch
"Ah Asano you may leave, I take it you can study at home on your own, I'm sure with your skills you'll manage to maintain the top spot. Provided you keep your guard up" Asano said "And take Miss Yamashiro to the nurse's office. She looks unwell" Asano said
"If you think about Koro-sensei and the principal are similar in a lot of ways" Fuwa said as a group of them walked home
"Like how?" Maehara asked
"Well, they have extraordinary powers, and yet they settle for being teachers" Fuwa started to explain "Seriously as manipulative he is. The principal could have been prime minister or a business tycoon or something, But here he is totally devoting himself to this place, it's no wonder he's a ruthless guy" Fuwa said
"Is Asano" Kaede said spotting Asano jnr. against the wall
"What the hell do you want?" Maehara asked
"Your lackeys to busy to do recon on us?" Sugino asked as Asano jnr. walks in front of them
"It pains me that I have to say this, but I have a favour to ask of you" Asano jnr. said "I'll cut to the chase: The principal, I need you to kill him" he said making the class jumpy "Not literally, but please murder his ideals
"Not sure I understand, how exactly?" Yada asked
"It's easier than you think. All you need to do is have Class-E dominate the top spots on the exams. It goes without saying I'll be placing highest, whether or not I perform as expected makes no difference" Asano said seeming arrogant "For dropouts like you to show up Class-A however. That would be a slap in the face of his policy"
"Look, we all know that the relationship between you two isn't the best. But he's your dad and you want to drag his life's work through the mud? To reject his legacy?" Meg asked saddened
"On on the contrary, he wants me to take him, This will be the fulfilment of his legacy. That's how we are; that is what our relationship is built upon. You don't know the pleasure of being raised by him. Let me assure you his methods are hell on Earth."
"No its worse" Yamashiro said walking out
"Rika?" Meg asked
"He's not human, heck calling him a monster would be enough. The only thing supporting them is their hatred of YOU! He's pushed them beyond their limits. He's brainwashed them into think of only killing you. You must win to break it" Yamashiro said
"If it raises them to Victory, MY father's methods are all they'll trust from here on out" Asano jnr said "Hatred only gets you so far I know that for a fact, Scorning one's enemies are childish. My flunkies need to learn a health respect from their foes, otherwise their strength will be lopsided, and then I will only be second in command"
"We must not all this to come to pass" Rika Yamashiro said
"The thing about defeat is that it gives you perspective. So I'm asking you please give him a lesson, show them what it's like to lose" Asano bowed
"Ha, that's big of you and all that crap, but let me tell you this right now I'm going to beat you and take the top spot" Karma smirked making Asano growl "What did I say. Next time we wouldn't be taking it easy on you. Prepare to surrender your throne you highness. But hey I hear tenth place isn't so bad" Karma added
"Oh ho sounds like the gloves are off." "Muramatsu said
"Indeed" Rika said
"Just don't make it turn out like last time please?" Takebayashi asked
"Don't over sell it man, just try and do better than me" Terasaka taunted, before a growling Karma kneed Terasaka in the gut several times
"Asano, we've been working our butts all this time to win, just like you have. When you get right down to it we're all on the same side. We stoked when we win, upset when we lose. No need for ranks beyond that don't you think?" Isogai asked "Class-E will do the best we can, that way Class-A can have an opponent they can be proud to face
"You're over thinking it, Just bring it on. Make it fun and come at us like you want us dead" Karma said
"How amusing, very well; I'll fight with my gloves off." Asano said
"Ah how unusual to see you here Korosensei" Asano said entering his office "I'm not aware of doing anything wrong"
"Perish the thought sir, you are a by the book man if I've ever seen one. You wouldn't stoop to such low trick this far into the game" Korosensei said putting away the magazine he was read "This could be our final education battle in a manner of speaking. I wanted to offer you a small thanks for allowing me to be here which you certainly didn't have to" he added holding out a box of treat
"Korosensei, this is your first teaching position am I correct?"
"How did you know that?" Korosensei asked
"Let's call it an educator's intuition. Its bizarre that you won't divulge the reason you chose the profession. Perhaps you'll do me the honour after I've won" Asano said putting away the class role
"There is not much to tell honestly. I can only speak from experience of course, there are only two reasons that compels a person to teach" Korosensei said eating a cake "We wish to pass on either our successes or disguise of failure. Which is it for you Principal Asano"
"Indeed" Asano said after some silence
Kataoka was walking alongside Rika when she looked up
"So how have you been?" she asked
"Not too bad, mum's still worrying about me" Rika said
"even though she works for ARGUS and handling Task Force X with that Flag guy?" Kataoka asked
"Nah, she transferred to Directorial security head. And one of her big ideas was putting in Kunugigaoka to watch your backs" Rika said
"So you still have Kagekiri?" Kataoka asked
"Sure do, I need to be eighteen before I can wield Soultaker, or at least that is what Mum and Director Diggle say"
"Director Diggle?" Kataoka asked
"Yep, Lyla Diggle. She replaced Waller after she was killed off"
"Who killed Waller?" Kataoka asked
Unknown." Rika said "Any way I'll catch you later
"Sure" Kataoka said as the pair departed.
"I will always watch your back, Meg" Rika said "After all you and I are blood"
After a week it was testing time for the school. Class-E walked past Class-A's room, which was filled with darkness and insanity. Only Asano Jnr. and Rika were unaffected by the darkness. Though Rika was trying harder than normal
'WHOA!' the symbiote gasped. 'Any more brainwashing and they would actually try and kill us'
"Not the biggest fan of that look in their eyes
"Ignore it, you know they're just psyching themselves up. Think you can beat them Karma?" Nakamura asked
"I don't know, if they are actually planning to kill me than that would slow me down" Karma said as they got ready
'This thing is HUGE!' the symbiote thought as Nagisa was turned into Agent Venom. He gripped the hammer. Agent venom dashed off as the others were scared. He skated underneatha nd struck the Achilles tendon
"NOW MS MARVEL!" he shouted
"You got it" Ms Marvel said using her powers and hammer to bring the best down
"PENCILS DOWN!" the supervisor said. Even after one test Nagisa was tired and on the verge of collapsing
"I couldn't get through them all" Mimura said
"This is hard, there is not enough time to answer every single little question
"The listening comprehension part was a beast" Kimura said "Not even Bitch-sensei would know what those vocabulary words meant
'This is nuts, and English is my best subject' Nagisa thought
"Scatter!" Agent Venom said as a walking tank appeared "Social studies. huh?"
"I've got this" Ant-Man said growing to a couple of feet taller than the tank. "Never mess with a GIANT!" he shouted as he destroyed the walking tank
"The GPA must be low on this thing" Agent Venom said "Even if one of us passes it will nothing short of a miracle"
"Anybody getting eyes of Class-A?" Hawkeye asked running from the science monster
"I snuck a peek on them when on the break. Talk about seething?" Iceman said as Class-A jumped on a monster and destroyed it with their bare hands "They were blood frenzied animals. Never underestimate the hatred I guess"
"Screw that, WATCH OUT! Ms Marvel said as the Japanese monster attacked
"Every man for themselves" Green Lantern said as Rescue and Wolverine blocked the blade
"Rescue?" they asked
"I Know what's up, we land in the top 50 or we're done, correct?" Ritsu asked
"Yeah, it is" Star Lord said as he fired his blaster a bit more
"I've broken it down. Reaching our hinges on low performers like ourselves working as hard as we can to drive up the average for everyone else" Rescue said
"Right then, next round" Ant-man said as Wolverine destroyed the monstrous samurai
"The questions are uncommonly difficult, and with the amount there are, one has to plot out a battle plan, hesitate for even one second and you're backed into a corner. But the comrade we're most worried about is doing fine" Takebayashi said as he entered the mental testing arena to see Aquaman smashing the drones with the Sword of Poseidon
"Is he for real with this?" Wasabi asked
"It's a question about probability, he's using brute force blowing through each potential answer as quick as he can. But shouldn't we be using combination equations?" Human torch
"Nah, it's the best strategy for a lughead like him if you think about it" Scarlet Witch said using her powers to blow the drones away "It's easy to take too long search for the right approach. Sometime it's better to come out guns blazing then to second guest yourself"
'Now when you see a question like this don't be perplex. Simply use the tactics I've shown you like so. Simplicity is your forte. Think about raw power and go for broke" Korosensei said
"Screw you Octopus I'm still plenty strong!" Aquaman shouted
"You got to admire his fortitude, even if he is an idiot" Wasabi.
"Remember guys, we're the End Class; we don't play it cool, we fast and dirty" Wasp said destroying several of the diamond droned "Focus in on your target's weakness"
"Now you're talking my language" Flash said destroying several more drones with his speed. "If you know where to hit, you can take it one in one hit. You may get the right answer"
"But if you get the right approach" Nightwing said using his Baton's shock function
"At the least you can get" Flash started
"Partial credit" Giant Man said destroying some more.
"Yeah!" Flash said as the mother brain was destroyed
"No time for review, moving on" Aquaman said
Suddenly the ground broke apart
"What is that?" Thor asked swinging Mjolnir around
"Ah crap. Recurrence-relations at the end?" Hawkeye asked
"I thought they were urban legend!" Agent venom said
'They put it on it on a junior hug exam!' the symbiote exclaimed as the egg shaped beast roamed the field
"Mayday, Mayday" Nightwing said
"I need to recharge!" Wasp panicked as the monster kept on coming. Karma smirked becoming Ghost Rider and rode up to it. Ant-man was climbing up the side while the others were bombarding it with their powers
"Ghost Rider?" Ant-Man asked as he reached the top. Ghost Rider smirked and threw a Hellfire grenade into a hole on top of the beast. Soon it detonated destroying the monstrous question
"Oh come on I showed this to you guys last week" Ghost Rider said "You have to take it to a particular solution
'In addition to their regular classes I had the students tutor each other on their strongest subjects. One of the best ways to deepen your own understanding is to teach someone else. It also fosters a strong sense of teamwork, which they have. The effect on Karma was extraordinary; it patched up the gaps in his knowledge and polished him to a brilliant shine" Korosensei said from the classroom
"That Asano kid's an over achiever too right?" Irina asked concerned
"Correct, and in fact since grooming Class-A was no longer his concern. The boy has marshalled his own cunning into a sharp blade, a perfectly valued use of one strength of course. To be entirely honest I'm not sure which method is the best" Korosensei said as the last question appeared in the sky
"Relax, just do your best and you're guaranteed to get partial credit" Karma said as he walked up to a prism. "Just leave it all to me" he said as he stared down
'Now then' Asano Jnr thought.
'How will I finish him off?' Karma asked
"This test, I'm sure it's a last chance effort by Asano" Deadpool said
"I see, and what do you think he will do?" Fury asked
"Something dumb, and dangerous" Deadpool said "Not to mention he will reflect on what it was that made him travel down this deranged path"
"I see" Fury said "Anyway I should head back to what I was doing, End Transmission" Fury then blinked out of the area.
"Could have sent an LMD" Deadpool said "So Asano what will you do after Class-E's assured Victory?"
G'day guys Grizz here with the next episode hoping to cheer you up with this after the tearjerker of previous anime episode. Damn props to Nagisa's Japanese voice actress. Now the character of Rika Yamashiro is the daughter of the character in the comics named Tatsu Yamashiro aka Katana, why did I add Rika in, namely because I got the Katana Suicide Squad POP! Vinyl yesterday, and why the name Rika. Simple I misread the name of the actress who played her in Arrow as Rika instead of Rila, whoops
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
