I don't own anything except for my OC's.

I'm sorry if you find any grammar mistakes. I'm still learning English because it's not my first language.

It was another day of school for the students of Kunugigaoka Junior High. The sun shined brightly on the horizon, letting everyone know that the rainy season was over and what season was just around the corner. David, Nagisa, Karma and Sugino walked together through the courtyard of the main school building, the four friends talking with each other about a few things.

Sugino sighed and stretched his arms up, before putting them behind his head, "The rainy's season's finally over!"

Nagisa glanced at his friend, offering him a nod of agreement in response, "It's starting to get hot."

David nodded in agreement, "You can see that summer is just around the corner."

"This is the season for outdoor activities." Sugino stated, smilling, "How about we go have fun somewhere outside?"

"Sure." Nagisa nodded his head at the offer.

"I'm up for it." David nodded, "What do you guys have in mind?

"How about fishing?" Karma suggested, making the others look at him.

"Fishing?" David said in more of a questioning manner. He tried it a few times before, when he was younger, but found it to be quite boring. Perharps his view will change on it, now that he was a few years older, "You can color me suprised, Karma. I wasn't excepting you to be into it."

"Sounds good." Nagisa liked the idea, "What's there to catch right now?"

A devilish smile grew on Karma's lips, horns sticking out of head, "Summer's the season for fresh delinquents. Let's use Nagisa as bait and see if we can hook a few!"

"Scratch what I just said." David smiled in amusement, "This is exactly what I was excepting from you."

"I never new delinquents were seasonal." Nagisa sweatdropped.

"What do you think we should do, Nagisa?" Karma asked Nagisa what ideas for their free time he had in mind.

"Oh, how about the beach?" Nagisa suggested.

"Beach?" David asked as he put his hand on his chin, "I will have to look through my luggage to see if I brought the shirt that I usually wear for the beach with me."

"Why?" Nagisa asked his foreign friend.

Sugino smiled as he and his friends continued to discuss what they should do in the sunny days ahead of them. He stopped for a brief moment once a familiar sound rang through his ears a few seconds later and glanced to the side, slight jealousy in his eyes. His friends noticed it and turned around to look back at him, noticing what caught Sugino's attention. They just happened to be passing by the baseball field.

On the baseball field, one of the players threw the baseball which landed in the pitcher's glove. The ball was thrown back at him a second later and he caught it into his gloved hand without any problem. He took off his cap and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. It was Shindou Kazutaka, the captain of the baseball team.

"Nice throw captain!" Someone from his team complimented him.

Shindou glanced to this side and saw Sugino watching him from the other side of the fence, "Well, if it isn't Sugino! Long time no see."

The boy in question looked suprised at the sudden calling from Shindou as more members from the baseball club started calling out his name. He glanced to his side, slightly uncomfortable by it.

"Sugino." Someone from the baseball club called out for Sugino, gathering in front of the fence with the rest of the club.

Sugino hid how uncomfortable he became under a smile and approached the fence, greeting everyone from the club as he did so, "Hi!"

"What gives? You should come say hi once in a while." One boy from the club said.

Sugino let out a short laugh, "Nah, it'd be kind of awkward."

"You're pitching in next week's ball game tournament, right?" Another boy from the club asked.

"Oh, I guess it hasn't been decided, yet, but I'd like to." Sugino answered, his arms folded as Nagisa, Karma and David exchanged glances, smilling at the scene.

"We'll be looking forward to it!" A boy from the club said as he pressed his fist against the fence, waiting for Sugino to bump it.

Sugino bumped his fist, "Sure thing!"

"But, man, I envy you Sugino." A boy from the club stated.

"You're in the E Class so you get to goof off every day." Another one added as Sugino looked down, his smile fading away from his lips, "We've got schoolwork and practice so we're running on fumes."

"Knock it off, that's not fair." Shindou said, causing everyone to look at him. He continued proudly, "Only the chosen few can be excepted to juggle both schoolwork and extracurriculars at a prep school."

"Wow, that's incredible." Karma commented as stepped forward to Sugino's side with David and Nagisa, causing Sugino to shift his gaze between his sides to see his friends standing with him, "So I suppose you're one of those chosen few, huh?"

Shindou nodded his head confidently in response, "That's right, I am."

"Wow." David commented dryly as Sugino and Nagisa glared at Shindou, "Not even trying to hide it, huh?"

"Don't like it?" Shindou smirked as he looked at David, smugness evident in his voice, making the exchange student roll his eyes, "Then how about we show you at the tournament? There are those chosen to stand at the top and then there's everyone else. You'll see that there's already a whole world of difference between us."

It was the next day of school and the students of 3-E were in the middle of another class with Koro-sensei. The four students from the said class who encountered the baseball club yesterday informed Koro-sensei about the upcoming baseball match. Isogai and Kataoka were reading on the blackboard behind Koro-sensei about the match as Koro-sensei was reading about it on the piece of paper.

"Mh-hm." The octopus hummed, "An intra-school ball game tournament, is it? Cultivating healthy minds and bodies using sports...most excellent!" He shifted his gaze from the paper to his students, beginning to sweat and held the paper in front of him in order to give everyone a good look at it, "However, why is Class E not in the bracket?"

"The E Class doesn't get entered into the tournament." Kouki explained, his head resting on his hand, "For the wonderful reason that it'd leave us with an odd number of teams. Instead, we have to play an exhibition game at the end."

"An exhibition game?" Koro-sensei questioned.

"Basically it's just a spectacle." Kouki explained, "As the entire school look on, we get pit against the baseball club and the girls the girls' basketball club."

David shifted his gaze from Koro-sensei at Kouki as he wanted to be sure if he understood correctly, "So, this is just another one of the treatments our class receives from the school?"

Kataoka looked at him and nodded, "Yep."

Koro-sensei, Kataoka, Isogai and the rest of the class turned around to the corner of the classroom once they heard a few people standing up from their seats and moving their chairs towards their desks. They saw Terasaka, Muramatsu and Yoshida, all three of them were standing, ready to leave the classroom.

"Well, we're not gonna stick around to be laughingstocks." Terasaka declared, "You guys can do what you like. See ya."

"Hey, wait. Terasaka!" Isogai called out after Terasaka, but was ignored. Terasaka, Muramatsu and Yoshida had already left the classroom at this point, "Sheesh."

"You're the baseball expert here, Sugino." Maehara stated, turning around to look at Sugino, his classmates following his example.

"You played in the same team with those guys before." David added, looking at his friend, "Got any secrets we can use to win?"

"It's impossible." Sugino responded, looking down at his desk, "Our baseball team is pretty strong. Especially Shindou, the current team captain. His explosive fastball has even caught the eye of prestigious high schools. A star pupil and a star athlete it's like, unfair." His classmates looked at him with empathy as he continued, "I want to win Koro-sensei. Not just put up a good fight. Win." He tightened his grip around the baseball ball in his hand, "I don't want to lose at the sport I love. After getting kicked out of the baseball club and coming to E class, my feelings have actually only grown."

He looked up at up and Koro-sensei and was about to continue speaking, but his words died in his throat once he set his eyes on his teacher. Koro-sensei was now wearing a baseball uniform and his face turned into the shape of a baseball ball. His tentacles were holding a baseball bat, a baseball ball, a glove, a blue microphone and a bamboo sword.

"Oh, I'm so excited!" He declared in an excited manner, "So excited!"

"...R-right." Sugino spoke again after a moment of staying silent, he and his classmates looking at the octopus with completely dumfounded expressions, taken aback by his actions, "You want to play baseball too. I hear you loud and clear."

"Nuruhehe." Koro-sensei laughed, a bit of pink appearing on his cheeks, "I've always wanted to be the fiery coach in a sports drama. I won't smack you, kids, around or anything, so instead, I'll flip the dinner tables."

"You're way too prepared!" Sugino stated as Koro-sensei pulled out a table with food out of nowhere and held it out to his students, presenting it to them.

"Lately, you've grown more articulate about the direction you want to go in." Koro-sensei stated. "'I want to kill' 'I want to win' Unwavering, no matter the adversity you face. To reward that spirit. Coach Koro will impart to you the training and strategy that will allow you to win!"

The day of the tournament eventually came and almost everyone were gathered around the baseball field to watch the games, standing outside the fence and cheering for their team. In the end, it was Class 3-A who won against their opponent, which meant winning the entire tournament for them. Each student from the said class cheered loudly once their team won.

After the final game which ended with victory of Class 3-A ended, the time for the exhibition has come and the losing teams were getting quite excited to see E Class lose against the baseball club. The boys of the E Class, all of them wearing their P-E clothes, were more than ready for the game as they stood in front of the baseball club who was more than ready for the game as well.

"...And now lastly!" The announcer declared, "We have an exhibition match between E class and the baseball club!"

"Only the elite with both scholastic and athletic ability can stand above others as one of the chosen." Shindou smirked sinisterly at Sugino, "That's what it means to excel at both pen and sword." He turned away from Sugino and began walking away towards his team, "You excelled at neither. Someone who wasn't chosen." Sugino watched him leave as Shindou made it to his team and declared, "Let's play a tight game!"

"Yeah!" His team chorused in response.

Sugino made his way back to his team, hearing Kimura ask, "Whoa, why they're so fired up?"

"Come to think of it." Sugaya looked around, failing to notice Koro-sensei, "Where's Coach Koro?" He looked at Nagisa, Karma and David, "I thought he was giving us directions."

"Over there." Nagisa pointed where Koro-sense was hiding. The octopus was on laying somewhere on the field, disguised as a baseball bal. He was wearing a cap with that had kill written on it, "Karasuma-sensei told him not to draw attention to himself, so he's using forced perspective to look like one of the balls."

Koro-sensei ducked down and popped back up with a light blue face, "One!"

He did it again a second later and returned with a purple face, "Two!"

He did it for the third time and this time returned with light orange one, grinning widely as he did so, "Three!"

"What did he say?" Sugino asked as he pointed at his teacher as Karma waved at Koro-sensei, commenting on his disguise.

Nagisa pulled out his notebook and translated what Koro-sensei said to his classmates, "He said "Show no mercy. Go for blood."

"Yeah." Isogai grinned, "Our real target is much more formidable. If we can't win against those chumps, we'll never be able to kill our teacher."

David put his hand on Sugino's shoulder, intending to lift his spirits up a bit, "Let's kick their ass. Show them what you're made of, Sugino."

Sugino smiled at his friend, slightly cheered up by his friends words as David returned his smile. The exchange student may have never played much baseball before, but he will make sure to try his best today. He never was really interested in playing the game before. Colin and Brian were always the ones who were the most interest in playing sports in his group back in America. He was always in the more nerdier part of it, alongside Samantha.

"All right!" Sugino exclaimed, lifting his clenched fist up, his classmates quickly joining him, forming a circle, "Let's kill it!"

"Yeah!" His classmates chorused in response.

Koro-sensei's smile grew wider as he laughed, "Now, let's give them a taste of baseball from hell infused with murderous intent and tentacles!"

"Now, top of the first-inning!" The announcer announced, "E class on the offence. Batter number one, third baseman, Kimura!"

The ball flew right past Kimura who didn't even try to swing his bat at it, suprised by how fast the ball was flying and the fielder behind him caught it without any problem.

"Strike!" The umpire screamed.

"Amazing!" The announcer exclaimed, "The pitcher Shindou isn't known for his powerful fastball for nothing! At least swing the bat if you don't want to look like a loser."

Kimura placed his hand on his helmet, whispering to himself, "Man, it totally feels like we're a visting team."

He turned his gaze towards Koro-sensei who ducked down and popped back up with a red face, "One!"

He repeated this action and returned with a dark blue face, "Two!"

He repeated it one last time and returned with a pink blushing face, "Three!"

"Roger that." Kimura smiled, understanding what Koro-sensei wanted him to do. He pointed his bat ahead of him and shouted, "Alright, let's go!"

"Whoa-oh! The batter is plenty fired up!" The announcer remarked.

The coach, Kiyoshi Terai watched everything from his spot with a smile on his face, not bothered or worried by it at all, "We'll get the first three batters out to end the part of first and in bottom, we'll score ten runs and get it called. You're a nobody."

"Now, here's Shindou, with his second pitch." The announcer stated as Shindou readied himself to throw the ball, "...And he throws!"

Shindou showed barely any interest in Kimura as he threw the ball at him. Kimura didn't even attempt to swing his bat at the flying back. He instead bunted it, gently tapping the ball with the tip of his baseball bat, taking the others by suprise.

"What?!" Shindou exclaimed in suprise.

Kimura placed his bat aside and pushed himself into run as the announcer made a comment about what just happened on the field, "Whoa! He's bunting for a bit! He got a nice roll on that one!"

"Kimura is the fastest runner in the E class." Koro-sensei thought to himself, repeating the tactic he and his students came up with for this game to himself, "Catch them by surprise and he should easily make it to the first base."

As soon as those words flew through his head, the opposite team had caught the ball, but it was no use at this point, because Kimura had already reached the base without any difficulties. Kimura's classmates cheered for him as Shindou gritted his teeth, cursing to himself.

"Damn! Sneaky little bastard." He whispered to himself through gritted teeth.

"He's safe! This is unexpected!" The announcer commented at the same time, "E Class, no outs, runner on first."

Now it was Nagisa's turn to bat. He made his way to the spot and rested his baseball bat above his shoulder. The blue haired boy glanced over at Koro-sensei, waiting for his signal, wanting to know what was he supposed to do.

Koro-sensei's face turned yellow, "One!"

It turned green shorty after, "Two!"

In the end, it turned white, "Three!"

Nagisa nodded his head, understanding what was he supposed to do. He bunted the ball harder than Kimura's did and pushed himself into run. The baseman tried to catch the ball, but was unable to do anything as the ball moved too fast and flew right past him. It landed on the ground behind him and started rolling across it.

"Whoa!" The announcer exclaimed, "A push bunt!"

"Damn it!" Shindou shouted as he started making his way to the ball.

Koro-sensei was very pleased by what was just happening on the field. He pulled out a can out of nowhere and stuck a straw into it, "They may be a powerhouse but, they're still junior high kids. They can't handle bunts the way pros do."

"The third baseman moved up for it but it went by him and the ball goes bouncing." The announcer continued to comment what was happening on the field, "Shindou goes to cover him and picks up the ball but..."

Shindou picked up the ball from the ground and readied himself to throw it at Nagisa, but immediately froze once he saw that Nagisa had reached the first base, before he even got his hands on the ball. He couldn't believe what was happening. They were actually losing to E Class. The students who were watching from the sidelines couldn't believe it as well.

"Aw! He's got nowhere to throw!" The announcer stated, "Unbelievable! No outs! Runners on first and second!"

"Impossible!" Terai exclaimed as he got up from his seat, his eyes wide in shock, "Getting a fastball like Shindou's to go where you want is virtually impossible!"

"Hah! How do you like that!" Maehara cheered as he glanced at Koro-sensei, "We've been practising against 'that' thing."

"The practice we had with him yesterday is certainly paying off." David smiled as he glanced at his disguised teacher as well, recalling the training Koro-sensei had put them through for this game as Maehara smiled back and nodded in agreement.. The saying that he didn't go easy on them would be quite understatement.

"Batter number three, shortstop, Isogai!" The announcer declared as Isogai readied himself for his turn.

David turned his gaze away from Koro-sensei and turned it towards something else. He scanned the crowd gathered around the field and eventually found the people he was searching for. Kevin, Keith, Lamar, Ashley, Lara and Matt were all watching it from their spot, suprised by what just happening as much as everyone else from the main campus was. David didn't really want to admit it, but seeing the looks of complete suprise on their faces was quite a nice thing to see.

"F-Fair ball!" The announcer's voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked towards the field and saw Isogai reaching the base, "It's come to a dead stop right on the line! Batter number three, Isogai, is safe! Th-The bases are loaded! No outs! Bases loaded!"

Shindou's jaw hung open as he watched everything happen with his very own eyes, his disbelief filled eyes refusing to close.

"M-Maybe Shindo's not feeling well or something." The announcer stuttered out as he tried to find a reason to why was this was happening.

Shindou's shifted his gaze away from the base when he saw someone from E Class making their way to the pitcher spot. He glanced the pitcher who turned out to be no other than Sugino himself.

"Sugino." He muttered to himself, his eye twitching slightly.

Sugino readied himself for his turn, lifting his bat up as he glanced over at Koro-sensei, wanting to see the signal his teacher was going to give him. At first his face turned light blue, then green and then with red eyes with an evil chuckle. Sugino adjusted his helmet and smiled to himself, knowing what he should do now.

"Play ball!" The umpire shouted.

"Now, the game resumes." The announcer said as Sugino took the stance as if he was going to follow his classmates example and bunt the pitch, "Whoa-oh! There's that bunting stance again!"

Shindou felt sweat going down his forehead as he stared at his ex-teammate, feeling how his heart was beating in his chest. If he was honest with himself, he felt as if someone had pointed their gun at his head right now. He felt as if he was the animal that Sugino was hunting down. He felt as if she was surrounded by people who had their aimed at him from each side.

Sugino stared at Shindou with nothing but determination in his eyes as Shindou's words from their encounter before the tournament rang through his head. He admited to himself that he was indeed no match to Shindou when it came to sheer power, but even with a well-aimed strike, someone weak, like him would be able to defeat their stronger opponent.

After Shindou threw the ball at Sugino, the E Class student changed his stance in the blink of an eye and now held the bat properly. He swung it at the ball and hit it, causing it to fly off somewhere far away from him.

"He hit it!" The announcer screamed, "The ball is going deep into the right-centre field! Following the runner, on second base the runner on the first base is also headed for home!"

"N-No way." Shindou stuttered out, his eyes filled with nothing but disbelief, his mind having hard time processing how was this happening. Why were they losing against E Class out of all opponents? How was this even possible?

The two catchers quickly went to grab the ball as Kimura, Nagisa and Isogai landed at home base. Sugino wasted no time and quickly made his way to the third base. He landed on the third base and grabbed his helmet, before throwing into the ground. He jumped up as his helmet collided with the ground, cheering, because everything according to the plan so far.

"The hitter Sugino also makes it to third base!" The announcer declared, "It's a triple that's cleared the base!"

"Alright!" Sugino cheered when the scoreboard showed E Class getting 3 points.

"Wh-What the heck is this?" The announcer didn't even try to hide how suprised he was, "This isn't how it's supposed to go. E class has scored the first three runs of the first game."

Coach Terai watched everything with shocked wide eyes, looking quite worried, "This is bad..."

"You look rather pale, Terai-sensei." A familiar male voice to him rang through his ears. Terai flinched at the sound of it, instantly knowing who it was. He turned to the sound of it and spotted principal Asano standing on his side. He began to sweat badly, clearly unsettled by his appearance, "Perharps you are not feeling well." He looked straight into Terai's eyes, scaring him even more, "You should go rest right away. The club members are so worried they are not able to play their best."

"S-Sir! N-No, as you can see, I am perfectly..." Terai was interrupted by Gakuho who placed his hand on his face.

Gakuho leaned closer to the nervous sweating Terai, looking at him with a sinister look in his eyes, "I'm glad to find you unwell. Were it not for illness, no instructor employed at my school could perform so disgracefully." It was when the nervousness got the best of Terai and the coach collapsed on the ground. Gakuho turned around to look at the female student behind him right after it happened, "Ah! As I thought, he has a terrible fever. Please take Mr Terai to the nurse's office."

The girl nodded her head at his request, "Yes, sir!"

Gakuho glanced at the field, "In the meantime, I shall serve as the coach."

"What are you?" Terai questioned from the ground, looking up at the principal.

Gakuho looked over his shoulder at the coach, "Not to worry. I will simply teach them a lesson of my own."

The E Class girls had recently finished their basketball game against the team of girls from the main campus and unfortunely they ended up losing against them. All of them were walking together along the courtyard in the direction of the baseball field with Bitch-sensei who was too busy with reading a baseball rule book to pay attention to her surroundings.

"Man!" Nakamura exclaimed, "That was so bad!"

"Yeah." Kataoka said, holding a basketball ball in her arms, "We'll get them next time."

Kayano looked down sadly, "I'm sorry I was the one who dragged us down."

"That's not true." Kataoka shook her head as she looked at Kayano.

"When I saw the bobbing boobs on those basketball players..." Kayano despaired as the memories of what had occured during the basketball game flew through her head. She imagined herself backing away from the girl with a larger cleavage, "...The rage and bloodlust just made me see nothing but red I..."

"What's up with your animosity towards big boobs!" Okano shouted.

"Well, I mean..." Kayano began as her classmates laughed.

Rinka's smile faded away from her lips as soon as the baseball field appeared in her view, "Now then, I wonder how the boys are doing."

At the same time on the baseball field, the baseball club watched how principal Asano was approaching them. The E Class boys watched it as well from their spot and needless to say, they weren't very happy about that.

"A-According to the information we just received, the advisor of the baseball club had been gravely ill since before the match." The announcer announced as Koro-sensei watched everything from his spot, growing slightly nervous, "And the players were so worried for their teacher that their hearts weren't in the game! The principal couldn't stand by and do nothing so it seems he will be taking charge immediately!"

The students from the main campus cheered as David rubbed his cheek nervously, because his turn was coming as he watched the principal gather the team together.

"This is bad..." The exchange student voiced his thoughts about the situation.

Maehara who was standing next to him nodded in agreement, because his turn was next, "Yeah."

"Batting fifth, the second baseman, Maehara." The announcer called out for Maehara.

Maehara made his way to the spot and readied himself to bat. He flinched and his eyes widened as soon as he set his eyes on the baseball field, because the opposite team had send all the players to defend the infield.

"H-How will they- What in the world is this?! All players are defending the infield! I have never seen a defence like this!" The announcer commented.

"They know that all we've got is the bunt," Sugaya remarked as he crossed his arms, sitting on the bench.

"But they can't do that right?" Okajima shifted his gaze between his classmates, "Getting up so close like that?"

"According to the rules they're free to defend where ever they want as long as it's in fair territory." Sugaya explained, "According to the rules they're free to defend where ever they want as long as it's in fair territory. We can't do anything."

David crossed his arms as he was preparing himself for his turn as he was going to the pitch after Maehara, cursing himself mentally for not considering such scenario, "We should expect something like this."

"We're screwed, then?" Okajima questioned, looking down at Sugaya.

Sugaya nodded in confirmation, "Pretty much."

Okajima sighed, "Great."

"Now, let's reset the flow of this game." Gakuho's words from earlier flew through the minds of the members of the baseball team as the principal had complete control over them, "About Sugino of the E Class. It seems he joined a municipal baseball club. In his own way, he's making effort. But what of it? Everyone makes an effort. Chosen people such as you have a destiny. In life ahead of you, you'll have to trample hundreds, even thousands of people like him in order to get ahead. You would be better off not thinking of this as baseball. This is the work of trampling just tens of that thousands. Now, let us begin."

Shindou threw the ball at Maehara and Maehara bunted it, but the force of the throw was too much for him to handle and the ball went flying into the air. The fielder caught it immediately and Maehara didn't even got the chance to move out of his spot to the base. Shindou let out a relieved sigh as he got his hands on the ball again.

"He popped it up!" The announcer yelled, "Has the pressure of infielders gotten to Maehara?! That's one out now!"

"Batter number six, centre fielder, Miller." David sighed when those words rang through his ears.

The said student put the helmet on his head and picked up the baseball bat. He glanced at his classmates, "Wish we luck guys."

He began making his way to the spot, his baseball bat resting on his shoulder. He did his best to hide how nervous he was from the watching crowd, especially from his fellow exchange students. He knew there was no way he'd be able to to roll the ball past the opponents defense. He glanced over at Koro-sensei, looking for his guidance.

At first, Koro-sensei showed his normal baseball face, "One!"

The next time it showed the same face, but this time it had a few drops of sweat going down it, "Two!"

In the end, Koro-sensei burried his face in his tentacles as he openly despaired out of either defeat or embarrassment or both, "Three!"

David deadpanned once he saw Koro-sensei's signals, thinking to himself, "That's comforting."

Unfortunely David wasn't able to do anything against Shindou's throws and was out in three strikes. Okajima who was after him shared the same fate. The students from the main campus and the announcer erupted into cheers at the game finally started going in the direction they wanted it to go as Shindou and his team made their way back to where the principal was.

"Keep it up, Shindou." Gakuho said to Shindou once the baseball team gathered around him, "All you have to do is throw four-seam fastballs. Make your movements large to overpower them."

Shindou nodded, "Yes, sir!"

"And I will say this again, to you all." Gakuho continued, "This is not baseball. This is the work of unilaterally gaining ascendancy."

"Yes, sir!" The baseball team chorused in response.

"He too is masterful at educating his students." Karasuma thought to himself, his arms crossed as he had just heard the baseball team scream. The E Class girls watched everything nervously, "He has a good memory of his students' face and their talents and he's exceptional at teaching, as well as getting them motivated." He looked at the completely calm smilling Gakuho and then shifted his gaze to despairing Koro-sensei who was desperately trying to think of something, "Their methods are very similar. And yet, how can they be so different as educators? This contest of leadership between these two, I'm a little interested in how it goes."

"I get it now, Karasuma!" Bitch-sensei declared, proud of herself, "So you hit a ball with a stick!"

It was now time for the two teams to switch. The baseball club was at the offensive and E Class was the catcher. Sugino readied himself to throw the first pitch as the member of the baseball club readied himself to hit the ball will be thown at him by his ex-teammate in a few seconds.

"Sugino of class E, first pitch." The announcer commented as Sugino threw the ball at the player from the opposite team, "...And he throws." The ball flew past the player and Nagisa who was crouching down behind him caught it into the glove, "Strike!"

"Don't let them get a hit, Sugino." Sugaya said as the E Class girls cheered for their team, causing Sugino to look at him, "I'm not sure any of us can catch the ball if it comes our way."

Sugino chuckled, "I know."

David and Karma stood next to each other in the outfield as the familiar voice sounded below them, "Karma! David!"

Karma looked down and saw Koro-sensei's head sticking out of the ground, "Don't show up right at my feet, Coach Koro. You looking to get stepped on?"

"You know he'd do this, sir." David stated, his eyes down on his teacher.

"Unbelievable! He's struck two batters in a row!" The announcer commented at the same time, but neither Karma or David listened to him, because they were too occupied by Koro-sensei.

Koro-sensei laughed. "The next inning begins with you first up to bat. How about we try shaking things with some provocation from you?"

Karma instantly felt how a smile formed on his lips as David looked at him, "What do you have in mind?"

"How about this?" Karma leaned into David's ear and whispered his idea to him, smilling devilishly.

David smiled and nodded his head, "I like the way you think."

The game continued and it was now Karma's turn to pitch. The baseball team followed their strategy against E Class and had send all the players to defend the infield. Karma waited for himself to get called out as he glanced at David who was now with the rest of their team, the two of them exchanging brief glances and nods with each other.

"Now, top of the second inning! Still going with impregnable defence!" The announcer commented.

"Batter number eight, left fielder, Akabane." Karma's name was called out and David nodded his head to himself, knowing it was his turn.

"Would you look at this, Karma?" David declared from his spot loud enough for everyone to hear, "Don't you think their tactic is quite weird?"

"It surely is." Karma looked towards the principal, "Isn't this playing dirty, Principal? They're taking up defensive positions that clutter up the field and the teacher acting as the umpire hasn't given them any warning."

David shifted his gaze between the people in the audience, "Don't you guys think this is weird? My only experience with baseball before this tournament was Negan from The Walking Dead and this one South Park episode with Rocky parody and yet I was able to spot it without any problem."

"The answer is quite simple." Karma looked at the audience as well and called them out, "You guys are morons so you don't understand defensive positions and stuff do you?"

This entire thing worked out exactly like David and Karma planned it to a few minutes earlier. The main campus students immediately looked at them, well mostly at Karma, because he was the one on standing right in front of them at the moment and began shouting all kinds of things to him and David.

"Quit whining about the little things, E class!"

"Its 'exhibition' match! Quit trying to dispute the defence!"

"If you've got a problem then produce real results!"

Karma turned away from the audience and put his helmet on, sticking his tongue out. He and David once again exchanged glances. Neither of them were sure if it was working, but it was quite amusing to see how it was easy to get the kids from the main campus angry. Koro-sense offered his students orange face and ring face as he was pleased by it, because it was important voice the protest loud and clear.

The game continued and all of E Class ended up getting struck out. Shindou's turn to bat came right after it happened. Whatever principal Asano was telling him ever since he took Terai's place was starting to have the effect on him, because there definitely something wrong with him after his turn came.

"Top of second inning, E class helplessly gives up, Three outs!" The announcer declared as Shindou growled as he his baseball bat collided with the ball, causing to fly far away from him, "He hit it!"

Gakuho watched how the baseball team finally started receiving points on the scoreboard with a pleased smile on his face, "Thank you, Koro-sensei. For helping me educate them. The weak, who try to win using nothing but cheap tricks and overwhelmingly strong, who easily overpower them."

E Class only had one point advantage over the baseball team when the game entered it's final phase. All that was left in the game was the baseball's team offense. Unfortunely for the students from E Class, the baseball team started using their own tactic against them and the two first players used bunts against them. E Class students on the field tried to catch the balls in time, but unfortunely the two players managed to reach the base in time.

Gakuho was more than pleased by what was happening on the field, even of it was students would normally find what the baseball team was doing unacceptable. E Class used this strategy first when the game first started and gained their three points thanks to it. Them doing it gave the baseball team a proper justification to show them how should be really done.

"No outs! Bases loaded!" The announcer declared as E Class players gathered around Sugino, "The batter that's up next is our school's superstar! Our pride and joy! Shindou!"

"I'll trample you, Sugino!" Shindou growled as he stepped onto the field, his appearance creeping out some of the players from E Class, the brainwashing he had suffered from the principal ever since he Terai's position for the game showing in him more than ever.

Sugino furrowed his brows, readying himself for whatever was going to happen.

Koro-sensei popped out of the ground below Karma, "Karma!" The boy in question hummed and looked down at him, "The time has come to put your earlier provocation to good use."

Karma thought for a moment and smiled, figuring out what Koro-sensei wanted him to do. He began walking to his classmates who were discussing what they should do now, "Oh, I get it now."

"I think we have no other choice but to walk Shindou." Sugino said to his classmates as he couldn't think of a better plan at the moment.

"Hey!" They all turned to the source of the voice and saw Karma, "Instructions from the coach."

The delinquest filled his classmates in about the plan Koro-sense had come up with and they put it into practice, positioning themselves where their teacher wanted them to. The positions of the two of them earned a lot of suprised comments and looks from the students from the main campus.

"Now, the game resumes, but..." The announcer paused for a brief moment as Karma and Isogai were standing right in front of Shindou, "Th-these tight defence positions!

"We're clearly defending in positions that would disrupt the batter's focus, but when you guys did it, the umpire didn't say anything." Karma said as the umpire stared at him and Isogai with widened eyes, stunned without words. The red haired boy turned to look at the principal and smiled once he set his eyes on him, "You've got no problems with this, right, Principal?"

Gakuho had to admit. Their plan was quite clever, but they couldn't hide the fact that they didn't have a better one, "Feel free." He responded, "Mere changes in defence will not rattle those who are chosen."

"Wow, tough words." Karma stated as he and Isogai began moving closer to Shindou, Isogai letting out as sigh as he did so, "Then we'll take you at your words."

The main campus kids gasped and their eyes widened once Karma and Isogai stopped dead in their tracks, because they were now standing in the distance that they'll get hit by Shindou's swin.

"T-Talk about close!" The announcer stuttered out, suprised by it just as much as everyone else was, "Forget about tight defence, this is point-blank range defence! He could hit them with his swing!"

"Don't mind us." Karma said calmly, offering Shindou a thumbs up as Shindou blinked in suprise, trying to understand the situation, "Just swing away, superstar. We won't get in the way of the pitch."

Gakuho chuckled, a dark look on his face, "A worthless bluff. Swing away without a care, Shindou. It will be E-Class that gets penalized for obstructing the batter."

It was when Sugino threw the ball and Shindou swung his bat at at it shorty after. These two E Class students in front of him thought they could mock him? He was going to show them. They will most likely jump out of his way, anyway. Karma and Isogai leaned out of Shindou's swing way at the last moment. He ended up missing the ball and Nagisa caught it. The umpire yelled strike, causing Gakuho's smile to leave his face.

"In terms of steel and their dynamic visual acuity, they're the top of the E class." Koro-sensei commented in his mind, mixing ice cream. "Simply dodging the bat is easier than bunting for them."

"A slow swing like that won't cut it." Karma said as Shindou's eyes widened, sweating badly. He raised his glove as if he was holding an Anti-Sensei knife in his hand. Shindou flinched and leaned backwards, doing his best to stop himself from screaming when Karma leaned closer to him, smirking, "Next tim, try swinging like you're going to kill."

It was when Sugino threw the ball towards Shindou. Shindou couldn't keep himself anymore and let out a scream of fear as he swung the bat at the ball flying towards him. Karma and Isogai stepped out of the swings way as Shindou hit the ball, but the force wasn't too strong and it didn't went flying away. It allowed Karma to catch it. He jumped into the air and grabbed it.

"Nagisa!" He shouted, throwing the ball at his blue haired friend.

Nagisa grabbed the ball and hit the base as Isogai pointed at David, "Third base!"

Nagisa threw the ball at David and his foreign friend caught it which was followed by Sugino shouting, "David! First base next!"

David nodded to show his understanding of the request and threw the ball at Sugaya who was at the base as Shindou was too shocked to do anything. His legs gave in, making him fall on his butt as Sugaya caught the ball thrown at him by David, which meant only one thing.

"A t-triple play, game over." The announced didn't do anything to hide the suprise in his voice, "Unbelievable... unbelievable. E class has... won against the baseball club!"

Sugino smiled as Maehara and Kimura cheered while Karma, Nagisa, David, Chiba, Isogai and Takebayashi high-fived. The E class girls and Bitch-sensei cheered for them as Karasuma smiled at his students, but they were the only ones in the audience who did. The students from the main campus began leaving the baseball field, not even trying to hide how dissappointment they were.

Shindou continued to sit on the field, unmoving long after the game between him and E Class had ended and long after most of the audience left to do their own thing after voicing their dissappointment to how the game had turned out. The only people who were on the field at the point were E Class who were preparing themselves to leave.

"Shindou." Sugino called out for Shindou to earn his attention as he crouched down in front of him, "Sorry for turning it into such a crazy game. But I know, You're a way stronger baseball player than I am. I don't think I won against you with this or anything."

"Then." Shindou began, his eyes set on the ground as he spoke up for the first time since the game ended, "Why did you go to all this trouble to win? Weren't you trying to produce real results to prove that you're stronger than me?"

Sugino smiled and titled his head to the side, "Nagisa and David always keep me company when I practice my breaking balls." Shindou glanced in the direction Shindou was looking at and saw David, Nagisa and Kimura walking together with the baseball equipment, the rest of their team walking behind him, "And things like Karma and Isogai's reflexes and how everyone's gotten good at bunting is amazing, right? But without real results to show for it, it's hard to get that across. Well, it boils down to this..." A sheepish smile formed on his lips as he rubbed the back of his head, "I wanted to brag about my current friends, to my old friends."

Shindou smiled, "You remember this, Sugino. Next time we play will be in highschool!"

"You got it!" Sugino nodded as he turned away from Shindou, before thinking to himself, "If' earth is still here by the time we hit high school."

"What's wrong?" Shindou asked when Sugino remained silent for a brief moment.

Sugino turned back to Shindou, "Nah, it's nothing."

He stood up from the ground and held his hand out to Shindou, offering it to him. Shindou accepted it with a smile on his face and Sugino brought him back on his feet. The E Class boys watched it from the distance with smiles on their faces, happy for their classmate.

Hope it wasn't that bad. See you in another chapter.
