Kanzaki and Kayano sat on the sofa. Both girls are tied up. The leader walks up to them, talking about his ideals. Kayano looks down. The leader grips her by her collar. She coughs up. Violent droplets scatter on the ground.

Footsteps echo through the room. The leader laughs. He lets Kayano drop on the sofa. "Our photographer has arrived".

A figure appears from the shadows. The photographer walks in. Gelled back orange hair drags his limp legs as if he were a puppet. His face was bruised. His mouth gapes open. He was tossed into the ground.

The spectators gasped. The leader screamed. A rare occurrence has emerged. A light blue-haired kid no taller than them steps in with his red book. "Page 1243. What to do when a groupmate has been abducted".

The light shines on him. "If you have no leads to the culprit, deduct from their conversation. If they use a dialectical tone, they may come from the local area. If they speak in the standard tone and they wear a school uniform, refer to page 1334".

Two hands move simultaneously. One hand wearing a red wristband on the arm and another hand covered the arm in a black cardigan clapped. The small guy walks between them.

"The opponents you are up against are students who come from another school on another school trip. They are here to cause mischief", Nagisa said. He looks at them with confidence in the front. Sugino stands on his left, his hand stretches in pitch position. Karma hid his hands in his pockets, his body face sideways. Manami stands behind him, her teeth clenched.

"Guys", Kayano shouts. Beside her, Kanzaki gasped.

The leader cursed. "How'd you get here?"

"Page 1334", Nagisa reads. "If your opponent is not from the local area, they wouldn't be far from the crime scene. See page 134 of the appendix". He opens the map. "Using my Mach 20 bird's view, I have listed a number of abductor hideouts. This should be useful in the case of a kidnapping".

"Wow. What a great guidebook you have, Nagisa", Sugino exclaimed. A row of gangsters left speechless. "Perfect countermeasure in all situations".

Karma hums. "Looks like we should bring it after all".

The gangsters stand up. "That's not a normal guidebook".

"So, what will you do, oniisan? Will you let us go?" Karma said. His orbs turned mercury. "But after you let these kids go, it's between you and I. The one thing you will end up doing is spending your school trip in the hospital".

Another footstep walks the stairs. Manami looks back. She gasped.

"Those will be our reinforcements", the leader said. His face returns to a smirk. "You guys will be in for a ride. These guys are the baddest of the bad. The worst of the-"

Four guys entrapped in a single yellow tentacle. Their hair has been shaved. Their eyes are covered with swirly geek glasses. The only remnants of crime they have is the old scars on their faces.

"The worst of the- what?" the leader shrieked.

"Please rest assured. There are no bad guys here", the yellow octopus said. He wore all black clothing. "There are only good guys who went on a self-care trip".

"Koro-sensei", Nagisa shouts. He, Sugino and Manami turned around. They smiled at him. Karma turned his head. His body still faces the opponent. He smirked.

"Forgive me for the delay. I took a roundabout to take care a few things", Koro-sensei said. He lets go of the four delinquents.

"Um, what's with the stage-hand like getup?" Nagisa said.

"I'm committing a crime of violence.", Koro-sensei touched his face with the face covering. "I hope you do not associate this face with crime while I'm teaching". He lowers his head. Koro-sensei's weakness; He's worried about how others see him.

"Nagisa-kun carried the book at all times. I am glad that you are able to find my contact info", Koro-sensei said. He prepares three books at Mach 20 speed. He handed Manami, Karma and Sugino their copies. "You should all bring one too".

"He's your teacher?" the leader said. "What a joke". He cursed. He picked up a half broken bottle of whiskey. "What kind of elitist is he?"

His henchman picked up a bottle each. They run towards Koro-sensei. They swing at the octopus' body. He dodged it. Sugino taps Manami's shoulder. Nagisa also looks at Sugino, who turns his head to Karma. The red haired boy motions with his thumb to a safe area.

"What a joke?" Koro-sensei said. "That should be my line".

He takes down each delinquent towards every direction. The gangsters stumbled on the floor. The leader props up as he crouched on the floor.

"What did he do?" the leader mumbled. "I can't see anything. He's too fast".

"Don't you come at my students with those dirty hands", Koro-sensei said. He turned dark. His usual smile was gone, replaced by his big mouth which emits fumes. "They don't stand a chance against a moving fly".

The leader stands up. "Even the teachers at an elite school are like this". He spits on the ground. "Who are you to look down on us?"

He moves to Koro-sensei. His knife pushed out front. "Making fun of us for being dumb high school students-"

Koro-sensei dodged. A group of three gangsters charge at him. Koro-sensei stretched his tentacles. "We are not elite". He takes down the gangsters. "It's true that they are students at a well-known school".

Koro-sensei blocked off another attack. "But everyone treats them as outcasts". He holds two delinquents and knocks their heads together. "Their class name is the object of discrimination".

More delinquents come at him. Koro-sensei flies a mid-air kick. "And yet, they look at things in a positive way".

The leader comes forth with his knife. "They don't drag others down. They don't act the same way as you do". He flips the leader out of the arena. "It's got nothing to do with my title or my school. Whether they are in clear or muddy waters, the fish who swims the furthest will turn out the finest".

Kanzaki looks at her teacher. She lifts her head. The limited amount of dim light brightens up her face. "Now, students".

Koro-sensei stands, unscratched. "Let's teach them a lesson on the fundamentals of school trips". Conveniently, the gangsters lined up in alphabetical order. Four pairs of hands carry the brick-like book. They slammed the books down.

"They didn't even take care of the cudgels", one of the henchmen muttered. Before they fell to their defeat, the leader mumbled, "We picked the worst people to mess with".

=itl=

Group 4 and Koro-sensei stand by the sidewalk. Sugino put his hands behind his head. "That was close. I wonder what could have happened if Koro-sensei isn't there".

"Things would be fine even if you had been knocked out", Karma said. "I could take down a couple on my own".

"Jeez, stop scaring me", Sugino seethed. Manami and Nagisa chuckled. They have mixed looks on their faces.

"It's good to be back", Kayano said. She exhaled. Her arms stretched out. "How about you, Kanzaki-san?"

Kanzaki fixed her tie. "Yes, I'm alright". She looks at the group with a smile. They smiled back at her.

"It's alright to feel startled by this recent event", Koro-sensei said. "But it seems your hesitations have disappeared".

"Yes, Koro-sensei. You are right", Kanzaki said. "Thank you".

Koro-sensei looks at her. He chuckled. Kanzaki and Kayano walk beside him. Manami, Nagisa and Sugino walk in the front. Koro-sensei nerufufu-ed. "Now, let's get back to assassination".

"It's a shame we couldn't do our assassination plan", Sugino sighed.

Manami clears her throat. "I-It w-wasn't the right time.."

"Don't worry", Karma said. "We can kill him tomorrow".

Swoosh of knife heard from each of his syllables. Koro-sensei dodges each attempt. Six students and a teacher walked down the streets as if they had finished another school day. Warm orange sun greets the horizon.

Character status (by Manami):

Kayano

Was manhandled by delinquent leader. Saved. Took into account Kanzaki's feelings toward the situation.

Kanzaki

Saved. Once she got out of the building, Kanzaki seemed calmer than how she normally was. At one point during the battle, she looked up at Koro-sensei.

Karma

Carried the photographer with one hand. He claimed it was no big deal. Was amused by the delinquents' reactions.

Sugino

Hopes they will never encounter anything like this again. He is bummed about the failed assassination attempt.

Nagisa

Was glad Kayano and Kanzaki were both okay. He carries his red book with much more spirit.

Koro-sensei

Although everyone didn't want to admit it, Koro-sensei is the coolest teacher in Kunugigaoka. He was able to turn around the whole situation

Delinquents

Every one of the delinquents had Koro-sensei's special makeover; a combed hairstyle and some round glasses.
