We Are E Class
(Assassination Classroom Fic)
"Hey, Octopus, don't just turn around." Grinned Karma shamelessly, just as usual. "If you can't face us, you can't see us coming to kill you." He walked up to the front before turned around and showing his test papers. Stopping Koro-sensei's rant midway.
100. Perfect score. All of them.
"Changing the questions didn't matter to me~"
Nagisa chuckled awkwardly. "Karma-kun... you stop pulling punches, huh?" He commented, drawing surprised gasp and awe looks from the whole class.
"WHAT?!"
"Unbelivable!"
"Wow!"
"100 in all subjects? Are you kidding me?!"
"Math too? Seriously?"
"HOW?!"
"Karma, it's there anything you can't do?!"
"Akabane! You were playing with us all the whole time?!"
Karma laughed. "What can I say? This teacher taught us more than he should do, so no matter the question I can take it all, plus," he fired another anti-sensei bullet at Koro-sensei, who as usual dodged it, yet his smile is uncharasteristically soft, "I don't want my greatest entertainment gone. I don't want to leave either. Assassination is way more fun than going back to my old class. This class is Fun."
"Karma-kun..." Koro-sensei wanted to cry.
"So... what's the plan?" Now the devil smirk is back. "You gonna use our not all making it to top fifty as an excuse to turn tail and run? Heee. You're just afraid of being killed, that's all."
A crosshair made itself known at Koro-sensei head. Something nobody failed to notice.
The class looked at each other, and their surprise and awe and jealously all morphed up to mischievous smile. Following the Class-Leader-of-the-Day. Maehara crossed his hands behid his head and added fuel to the fire, "Oh, is that it? You were afraid?"
"You should have told us!" Added Kataoka.
"Right! Like "I'm so scared and want to run away"!"
"Scaredy cat!"
"Nope! It's scaredy octopus!"
"Bwahahahaha! Good one!"
More and more crosshair appears on Koro-sensei's face at each jeers and taunt, as he turned from usual yellow to red. Boiled crab red.
"I'm not running away!" He snapped. Tentacles wagging and slithery in agitated manner.
"Then what?"
Koro-sensei stopping screwing around in anger, and turned to Karma with baffle look... or what's close to it. What a mood swing, everyone thought when the skin instantly turned from angry red to usual yellow.
"We'll get revenge on them two-fold in the end-of-the-term exam! We show 'em the power of E Class."
Everyone bursted out laughing. Karma even hold his aching stomatch.
"This is no laughing matter! Honestly!" The speaking manner Koro-sensei just made them laughing even more. It was too funny to not laughing at. Yet someone still sneak attack at Koro-sensei using the distraction. Their spirit had returned.
The cheery atmosphere is just what they need to regain back their determination.
~X~
The Chairman's Room was the most lavish room among all rooms in the Kunugigoka Middle, that was to be expected. It also known as most colder and pressuring room, too.
Sakakibara always dismissed the rumor as just that, rumor. Stating that no way Chairman's room is that terrifying. Sure, the man could make war veteran go running at mommy, and he never had private audience with the man, but surely it wasn't that bad, right? Oh how he regretted not listening to those rumor. They are did not over-exaggerate how bad it actually is.
They are under-exaggerate it.
The room is cold, empty, scrunizing you of all your faults, launching silent critics, as well pressuring you that Sakakibara was amazed neither he or Asano haven't collapse on their feet. Scratch that. He was amazed he still can stand this overbearing pressure. Asano must be build some immunity against it, being the Chairman's son and Student Council President. Though nothing prepared any of them for the bomb.
"Chairman, can you please repeat that? I think we misheard it." Sakakibara wasn't ashamed to admit he was squeaking like duck. The pressure was too much for him!
"You heard it just right, Sakakibara." Chairman stated, his smile is cold as antartica during blizzard and as ruthless as assassin's blade. "You and Asano-kun are demoted to E Class. Start from tomorrow, that will be your new class, and your new classmates."
"You can't do it!" Asano snapped. His usual calm and empty eyes gained some fire and an emotion Ren would never think would exist there. Not in million years. "I had the Highest School Grades and head of Student Council! You can't just make that decision, Chairman!"
"Second Highest." Chairman's voice cut the rant. "The Second Highest. Akabane beat you for the first place, surprisingly."
Asano gritted his teeth. Hard. "That," he spat, "was one time thing. I will not be defeated again."
"You might regained that spot, I understand, but it doesn't changed things. You have been beaten. Why and how doesn't matter. What matter is that you. Lose." Asano swear the Chairman deliberatily put a pause before word "Lose" to mock him frther. He's sure of it! "And with you demoted from your comfortable spot, someone had to be stepped down from the Big Five..." Sakakibara flinched. Remembering his slipping grades.
If only his parents weren't at home that time, he sure can study in peace...! But nooo. They have to be at home and disturb his study. He barely can think straight until they stopped and by that time it was two in the morning. By time he was abot to cracked open his book and study a little, the test is about to start.
His grades slipped. Badly. From third place to seventh.
He is so not looking forward what will happens later. Both in the class and in the "home".
"Don't worry. I will take the responsbility to explain things to your classmates about your new placements tomorrow."
Both Third graders resisted urge to flinched at the faux-concerned tone the Chairman use, and Asano internally glowered at him. Knowing all too well what the Chairman had in mind. It will be public humiliation, whether they are here or not, and he surely will told everyone in the main Campus to treat them like yesterday's trash, ignoring the fact they used to be stars in the School, and rubbing salt on the wound.
That man is that sadistic.
"Now, don't let me detain you two more than it was necessary. Today is your last day in A Class. Enjoy it to your heart content." The Chairman leaned back to his chair, dismissing the soon-to-be-Former-A-Class-Students. Noting with slight amusement that they had empty dejected look in their eyes. Sakakibara more than Asano, with how robotic his movement had become and he had this empty stare in his eyes.
Serves them right. Those who had grown complacement will have their fang dulled. Anyone can throw them out of their comfy spot at any given time, as Akabane Karma showed them. And when that happens, they are no longer the Ruler, but the Servant. The Weak.
Taking deep breath, he open a new page in his laptop and e-mailed Karasuma.
There will be two new Students from A Class. Their names are Asano Gakushuu and Sakakibara Ren.
He got the reply few minutes later.
Understood. I'll start arranging preparations.
Well, at least Asano-kun would be pleased. He had started to take notice that the Chairman had been paying close attention to this year's batch of E Class more than the previous years'. He had caught the teenager snooping up in his files even goes as far as hacking his computer to know what was going on in E Class to warrant the Chairman's personal attention.
If he didn't know any better, he would say that Asano-kun is jealous over E Class.
Now, how he would react facing against Koro-sensei? Surely it will be quite a picture and worth immortalize.
