Ryuko is so done with this shit.
For those of you who don't know, this is how her day has gone so far: she was mind molested by her evil semi-immortal mother, jacked up by evil clothes, went to kill Mako (oh, and Satsuki's group, too, I guess), snapped out of whatever stupid dream world she was stuck in, completely ripped off her skin to get out of said evil clothes, and formed an alliance with her former-enemy-now-overbearing-big-sister.
And that was before Mako pushed a strange button that transported them to some weird high school building in another world. Now she's stuck in a room with Mako, Satsuki, and the Student Council along with a bunch of other weirdos. One group looked like they came from a fantasy book, another looked like they fell out of a sci-fi flick, and the last group weren't even human despite appearances.
But you know what the icing on the freaky cake was? Her disheveled homeroom teacher from Honnoji, Mikisugi-sensei, just walking into class and writing on the chalkboard like it was another normal day.
"All right, everybody, eyes up here," said Mikisugi, tapping the chalk against the board. "These are the rules for your new school life."
Ryuko glanced up at the five lines written on the board. The so-called "rules" didn't look like rules at all:
Rules for School Life
- Learn lots
- Have lots of fun
- No violence
- Be nice to everyone
Ryuko's sure she's broken all of those rules since day one at Honnoji.
"You guys are now fellow students," Mikisugi continued. "So make sure you get along."
"Oy, Mikisugi!" yelled Ryuko, raising her head.
"I've been your teacher for nine months, Ryuko," said Mikisugi, sweatdropping. "Call me sensei."
"Don't care," said Ryuko bluntly. "What the hell are we doing here?"
"School life," Mikisugi answered like it was obvious.
"Yeah, I got that part the first time," said Ryuko. "But the problem is…lot of my classmates are definitely not normal!"
The teenage delinquent was gesturing to certain people as she shouted dramatically. From the tanuki-faced Machiru to Luluco in her skintight spacesuit to Akko (Okay, that's a little insulting, Akko thought. She's was totally a normal high school student!)
"You shouldn't judge people based on how they look," Mikisugi tutted.
"Wow, you're a real scumbag for judging people by their looks, Matoi," said Sanageyama…facing the complete opposite direction of her.
"I don't think you'll have any problems in that department," said Ryuko, sweatdropping. She turned back around to Mikisugi. "And like you have any right to say something like that, you exhibitionist pervert!"
"Exhibitionist pervert?" Luluco repeated strangely. "Shooould we be worried?"
"Oh, that reminds me," said Mikisugi suddenly. "This is a family-friendly school, so you're not allowed using your Kamuis here."
"What?/Why?" Ryuko and Senketsu yelped in unison; Ryuko jumped out of her seat.
"Think of your poor classmates if they saw you in your Kamuis," said Mikisugi lightly. "It would be bad for their poor hearts. So be mindful of them, okay?"
"Well, I guess that makes sense," Senketsu conceded. "Normal people would be downright disturbed by such public indecency."
"And I'm just now realizing that I've been running around half naked for the last nine months like it's normal," Ryuko muttered with a cloud of dread hanging over her head.
Everyone outside of the Honnoji group appeared clueless about where their conversation was going. Then, Diana coughed importantly into her fist, rising from her seat with her hands folded behind her back, prim and proper like she always was when called upon by a teacher.
"Excuse me…sensei," Diana said awkwardly, her tongue unaccustomed to the Japanese honorific. "If I am to understand correctly, you are telling us that we must undergo 'school life' with the rest of the people here. Is that right?"
"That would be correct," said Mikisugi with an enigmatic smile.
"And if we refuse?" Diana questioned.
"You can't refuse," said Mikisugi cryptically, an ominous shadow casting over his face. "You would be punished for violating the school rules."
TRIGGER QUARTET
Episode Two: Tension! Introductions
Luluco had been staring for a while now, Midori noticed. Based on the way she was facing, she seemed to be watching the group from the fantasy world – the only group to have non-Japanese students, strangely enough.
"Whatcha lookin' at, Luluco," asked Midori. "You stalkin' somebody else now. Trying to make Nova jealous?"
"I'm not a stalker! And what do you mean 'somebody else'?!" Luluco yipped. Midori responded with snide chuckle. "It's just…that girl with the gray skin over there." She pointed to Sucy, who was staring ahead with a bored look in her one visible eye. "I've definitely met her before. On the last planet we visited. Remember, Nova."
"Yes, I remember," Nova answered monotonously. "She fed you a poisonous mushroom and now your lifespan has been shortened to seventy years."
"That was also when I got my first kiss," said Luluco mournfully. "But you don't care about that, do you?"
"Not at all," Nova said bluntly. Luluco cried out of depression; Midori cackled wildly.
Meanwhile, Lotte leaned over and whispered, "Sucy! Sucy!"
"What?" Sucy muttered with barely a glance her way.
"The girl sitting behind you keeps staring," said Lotte quietly.
Sucy quirked her brow in genuine curiosity. Usually when people stare at her, it was because she was brewing some noxious poison in Pharmaceutics class or because she did something to Akko like make flowers grow out of her head without the Japanese girl noticing. But ever since they came to this strange new world, Sucy had, in her honest opinion, been on her best behavior.
The gray-skinned Filipino glanced backwards over her shoulder. Like Lotte said, the redheaded girl in the space suit was staring straight at her. Realizing she had been caught, Luluco quickly looked away and whistled like she was the innocent party here. Sucy sweatdropped; why do people think that would ever work? Must be a Japanese thing….
"Sucy, what did you do?" questioned Akko, putting on her best, and worst, scolding face. "Have you been causing trouble again."
"I don't want to hear that from you of all people," said Sucy, shooting the Japanese girl a dry look. "I didn't do anything to her…at least not yet. I don't know why she keeps staring at me; I've never even seen her before."
"Maybe she's got a crush on you," said Amanda teasingly, leaning her seat back so that it was standing on two legs. "Can't say much for tastes, but compared to that three-eyed chick, you look…almost normal."
"Ugh, what a pain," said Sucy, grimacing.
"Okay, everyone, eyes forward, please!" Mikisugi clapped his hands and called for their attention. He gestured to the board, upon which he had written "Introductions" in Japanese. For some reason, none of the non-Japanese students questioned why they could suddenly read kanji. "It's time for introductions. Since you're all classmates now, you should get to know one another. Let's start with Miss Matoi."
"Eh?" Ryuko chirped surprisingly. She let out a reluctant sigh and rose to her feet. "All right, I guess I'll go first…. I'm Ryuko Matoi, second year high school student. If it wasn't obvious, I'm a hardcore delinquent and I'll kick anyone's ass that ticks me off! And this here is Senketsu," she gestured to her clothes. "He might look like a normal sailor uniform, but he's actually an alien made from these things called Life Fibers and…" She paused as she noticed the confused stares from all non-Honnoji students. "Yeah, I think I'll end it there."
"Well, at least no one is calling you crazy outright," said Senketsu as his partner sat down.
"I get the feeling these people have seen weirder shit than talking clothes," said Ryuko.
"Hey, didn't we go to a planet with those Life Fiber things before?" Luluco asked her teammates.
"Yeah, the one with that wacky nutbag that looked like Nova," said Midori.
"I suppose all of our universes have some similarities deep down," said Nova plainly.
"Okay, next," Mikisugi called.
"Hai, hai!" Mako shouted cheerfully, jumping out of her seat with her hand raised enthusiastically. "I'm Mako Mankanshoku! I'm a second year just like Ryuko! My family's super poor and my dad is an unlicensed back alley doctor that does all sorts of weird stuff that's probably illegal! My favorite foods are my mom's mystery croquettes that she makes from stuff that probably not safe to eat! Nice to meet you!"
"I feel very concerned for her wellbeing," said Nazuna, sweatdropping.
"And I thought Jackie would be the weird one," muttered Michiru, also sweatdropping.
"It's official: all Japanese people are nuts," Amanda commented; Constanze silently nodded.
"JAPAN IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!" Akko roared defensively. "APOLOGIZE TO THE JAPANESE!"
Satsuki was the next to rise from her seat, but shortly after she did so, the rest of Honnoji's student council rose with her. Her five loyal followers formed a tight line behind her, their backs stiff, their shoulders squared, and their hands folded behind their back like a military line. Satsuki folded her hands over the hilt of her sword (how it was rebuilt after being snapped in two was a mystery) and clicked her heel on the floor. Bright spotlights suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the background behind her, effectively blinding their classmates –
"MY EYES!" Michiru cried, hands flying to her burning retinas and falling sideways out of her seat.
"I am Satsuki Kiruin, third year student and student council president of Honnoji Academy!" Satsuki proclaimed dramatically. "But more importantly, I am the older sister to my adorable young sibling, Ryuko Matoi – "
"Aw geez," Ryuko groaned, burying her burning face in her hands.
"Those who stand beside me are my closest friends and loyal comrades: Ira Gamagoori" – the hulking blond saluted – "Nonon Jakuzure" – the pinkette saluted with a playful wink – "Uzu Sanageyama" the blind man raised his hand to salute, but ended up smacking it on the corner of a desk and moaned in pain – "Hoka Inumuta, and Shiro Iori!"
"Greetings," said Inumuta with a curt nod.
"A pleasure," said Iori, also nodding.
"This new world is strange and foreign to us all!" Satsuki continued powerfully. "And as I look around this room, I can see how vast the difference between our worlds are! But it is those difference that – "
"Wow, this chick really loves to hear herself talk," Amanda commented, tuning out Satsuki's overblown speech.
"It's kind of impressive it its own way," said Diana. "Though it is a bit much."
"I don't think she's taken a breath since she started," said Lotte, sounding somewhat impressed.
"All right, all right, I think we get the idea, Miss Kiryuin," said Mikisugi. Satsuki and the student council looked at him in disbelief; they didn't think anyone would dare to interrupt Lady Satsuki's glorious speeches. "Return to your seats please. All right, who should go next…. Why don't you girls go next?" he said, gesturing to Akko's group.
"Hai!" said Akko with a determined expression. "My name's Atsuko Kagari! Oh, but my friends call me Akko. My dream is to become an amazing witch that brings smiles to everyone just like my idol, Shiny Chariot! I might not be good at magic right now, but I will never give up! Because a believing heart is my magic!"
Lotte looked at her best friend in admiration, Amanda shook her head with an amused chuckle, and Diana smiled softly at the boisterous Japanese girl's back…until she caught herself and went stoic again. Ryuko liked the witch girl; she reminded her of Mako in a lot of ways. But in the very back of the class, Shirou crossed his arms and leered at the Luna Nova group wearily.
"So those humans are witch," Shirou muttered. "Normal humans were bad enough, but humans with magic? I don't trust them."
"To be fair, do you trust anyone?" Marie asked humorously, leaning her head against her fist. "I like them. I bet we'll be great friends in no time."
"You just want to exploit them so they can use their magic to help with your illegal schemes," Michiru accused dryly.
"You know me so well," Marie replied with a Cheshire grin.
As Akko sat back down, Diana rose from her seat, coughing importantly in her fist, and announced, "My name is Diana Cavendish, Heir to the Cavendish House of Wedinburgh and first year student at Luna Nova Academy. Though the circumstances are strange, I look forward to learning with you."
"My name is Lotte Jansson," Lotte stood up next. "Er…I'm from Finland, and I specialize in Communication Magic and fairies. It's nice to meet you."
"Sucy Manbavaran," said Sucy apathetically. "I like making poisons and experimenting on Akko while she sleeps."
"I really wish you'd stop doing that," said Akko, grimacing.
"Oh, wow…she even experiments on her friends," said Luluco uncomfortably. "She really is a witch."
"I like her," said Midori, sniggering mischievously.
"Amanda O'Neill, the number one troublemaker in Luna Nova history," Amanda said proudly, propping her feet on the desk and folding her hands behind her head. She gestured her chin to the side. "Over there is Jasminka. She's always eating something, but she's a real sweetheart – and super strong, too."
"Want one?" Jasminka asked Mikisugi, offering one of her rare treats. "It's happy flavor…"
"Maybe after class," said Mikisugi kindly.
"And that's Constanze," Amanda continued, gesturing to the short German girl was tinkering with some gadget laid out on her desk. "She doesn't talk much, but she's super smart and makes all kinds of crazy machines with magic."
"A fusion of science and sorcery," Inumuta hummed interestedly. "Sounds intriguing. I wonder if she would be willing to compare notes. I would love to know the complex intricacies of magic-infused technology."
"Maybe she could help us develop some type of magic-Life Fiber fusion Goku Uniform," said Iori with a hint of excitement in his voice. "Just imagine the possibilities…."
"Thank you, ladies," said Mikisugi, nodding to the Luna Nova group. "Who wants to go next?"
"Luluco does!" Midori said loudly.
"Eh?!" Luluco squeaked. She glared at the three-eyed alien's betrayal; Midori just snickered.
"Looks like you're next, Miss Luluco," said Mikisugi, ignoring the redhead's sputtering protests.
"Ugh, fine, I guess I have to go sometime," said Luluco with a defeated sigh. "Hello, everyone, my name is Luluco, and I'm a space officer for the Space Patrol Ogikubo Division. I just wanted to live a normal life, but then my dad turned into a block of ice, then he turned into a talking brain, and my mom ended up being a thieving space pirate. I've pretty much accepted that I will never have a normal life, so this new world isn't all that strange. Nice meeting you all."
"Wow, her life sounds like something out of an anime," said Michiru.
"Everyone here looks like they came out of an anime," Nazuna retorted.
"I am Alpha Omega Nova," said Nova shortly after Luluco sat down.
"…do you have anything you want to add?" Mikisugi asked awkwardly.
"No," said Nova, sitting back down. The rest of the class minus Luluco and Midori sweatdropped simultaneously.
"My turn," said Midori gleefully. "The name's Midori. I work at the same Space Patrol office as Luluco and Nova. I didn't join because I actually care about 'protecting the universe' or 'justice' or whatever. I just did it to get out of jail time."
"And…what exactly did you do?" asked Sanageyama strangely.
"I published and distributed a quasi-legal Black Hole App," said Midori nonchalantly. "I made a huge killing until that stupid little shit Luluco ruined everything like she always does."
"Hey!" Luluco cried.
"Sounds like you have some competition in the illegal goods game, Marie," Michiru said smuggling, leaning around Shirou and grinning smugly at the wea – er, mink.
"A game is no fun if there's no challenge," said Marie, smirking as she watched Midori sit back down. "But the cute little weirdo still has a lot to learn if she got herself caught by the authorities. Maybe I should take her under my wing and teach her a thing or two – "
"Don't," said Shirou shortly.
"Well, it looks like you guys are last," said Mikisugi, gesturing to the Beastmen in the back row.
"Guess it's my turn," said Michiru, rising from her chair, waving around the class. "What's up, everybody? My name's Michiru Kagemori. Er, I know I look like some weird raccoon girl – "
"Tanuki girl," Shirou interjected.
"Right…," Michiru groaned, leering sideways at the man. "Anyway, I wasn't always like this. A year ago, I used to be human, and then I suddenly turned into this. I still haven't figured out why I suddenly turned into a Beastman, but I guess I'm getting used to it little by little. I've made some pretty good friends, so it hasn't been all bad. I hope I can become good friends with all of you, too."
"She seems nice," Lotte said optimistically.
"She looks like Akko when she screws the animal transformation spell," said Sucy.
"That joke has already been used," Akko grimaced.
"I know, but it doesn't make it any less true," said Sucy with a cruel snicker.
"Oi, you're turn," Michiru said to Shirou as she sat back down.
"I don't want to," Shirou grumbled with an indignant huff.
"Eh, don't be that way," said Michiru. "Everyone else already went."
"I don't care," said Shirou in continued defiance. "I have no reason to introduce myself to a bunch of humans."
"Stop acting like a brat," said Michiru annoyed. "Whether you like it or not, we're stuck in this world until we can figure out a way to back to Anima City. So you might as well play nice with everyone while we're here."
A low growl emanated from the back of Shirou's throat, but the light-haired man sighed in defeat and stood up. He cast a sharp leer around the room, letting everyone know exactly what he thought about them. It was strange, then, that none of the other students seemed to shrink under his gaze when other Beastmen would often tremble. These humans were made of tough stuff, he thought.
"I am Shirou Ogami," Shirou announced. "I'm a social worker for Anima City. I don't particularly like humans, but I am willing to get along with you for the sake of this 'school life' here. So let us get along from now on."
"He doesn't like humans?" said Nonon said strangely. "Wait, does that mean he's not human?"
"During Kagemori's introduction, she said she was turned into a 'Beastman'," Inumuta noted. "I suppose in their world, there is a species of human with animal characteristics. And looking at the rest of them, it seems that they possess the ability to shift between human and animal forms. Fascinating, but Ogami's introduction implies that there is some sort of racial dispute in their world."
"Well, I don't care what he is," Gamagoori grunted. "If he threatens lady Satsuki, he will have to go through me."
"Same here," added Sanageyama.
"Me next, me next!" Nina jumped up eagerly. "I'm Nina Flip and I love humans. They're so cool and they make neat stuff. I've always wanted to make friends with humans, but my stupid daddy is so overprotective and never lets me go anywhere without his dumb old bodyguards. But now that I'm here, I can make a whole bunch of human friends! Please take good care of me!"
"Aw, she's so adorable!" Luluco gushed.
"And rich, too," said Midori, apparently having tuned out everything after 'bodyguards'.
"Jackie, it's your turn," Michiru said to the teddy bear-like person at the end of the row.
"Uh…I'm Jackie," he said; he didn't sound or look particularly bright. "I like playing baseball and Michiru. I'm not very strong, or smart, or the best at anything, but I hope we can become good friends."
"Heh, cute," said Marie. She didn't stand like the others, but made a friendly hang gesture. "I'm Marie Itami. I make a living on selling things people want at affordable prices" – Michiru openly scoffed, but Marie ignored it – "I hope we can have a fun – and profitable – school life together."
"Heh, I think she's gonna be fun to play with," said Midori, grinning wickedly.
"Oh no…," Luluco groaned.
"And last, but certainly not least, is me, Nazuna Hiwatashi," Nazuna said smugly. "But to many, I am the benevolent and rightfully worshiped Guru of the Silver Wolf Order, Death Rube – "
Whatever dramatic speech she was about to make was sharply cut off by a loud chorus and snickers and laughter from several of her classmates, including Akko, Ryuko, and Midori. Some of the more polite ones like Diana and Luluco hid their laughter behind their hands, but they were undeniably laughing.
"Death Rube?" Ryuko cackled wildly, slapping her hand on her desk. "You're actually proud of that name?!"
"Even I wouldn't come up with something that embarrassing!" Akko chortled, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Please, say that again into the camera!" Midori requested, whipping out her phone. "I have to post it on social media!"
Nazuna flushed in a combination of embarrassment and anger. She is Death Rube! Her name is supposed to be worshiped! Nazuna heard quiet snickering coming from her left and swung around to face Michiru, who was laughing behind her hand uncontrollably. Now thoroughly pissed, Nazuna turned into a teal-white kitsune in the middle of the classroom and snapped her muzzle at Michiru, which might have surprised everyone if they weren't too busy laughing at Nazuna's expense.
And, somehow, Mikisugi was treating the whole thing like it was a normal day in class.
"Oh my," he said calmly. "We really have a variety of students here, don't we?"
The rest of the day seemed to pass by a triple time, because before they knew it, the bell rang for the end of the school day. When everyone left the building, the sun was already starting to set over the horizon, casting an orangish-golden glow across the sky.
Michiru and her odd assortment of Beastmen were wondering down the street from the school, having no real idea where they were going since this was a completely new world from Anima City. Michiru marched in the lead, folding her hands behind her head and staring tiredly at the evening sky (and intentionally ignoring Nazuna's angry stare from the side. The girl can seriously hold a grudge.)
"I've been chased by hunters," Michiru mumbled lethargically, "ran after wallet stealing monkeys, got thrown in a cell by Beastman traffickers, thrown off a building, played murder-style baseball…and somehow I'm even more exhausted than I've ever been."
"That's how you know it's high school," said Nazuna, equally tired.
"Still, transported to another world…," said Michiru. "It's like something out of an isekai anime. Come to think of it, how did we end up here, anyway? I don't remember getting hit by truck-kun."
"As if it could ever kill Ogami," said Marie, snickering.
"If we can figure out how we were sent to this world, maybe we can find a way back," said Shirou seriously.
"Maybe we can ask the humans how they got here," Nina suggested optimistically.
"Mmm, I don't like the idea of asking help from humans," Shirou grumbled.
"You don't like anything," Michiru retorted. "Ugh, let's think about it tomorrow, all right. I'm way too tired to be dealing with this… Huh?"
Looking ahead, Michiru suddenly realized that there was someone standing at the end of the sidewalk, seemingly waiting for them. The glow of the setting sun behind them cast an ominous shadow, but the length of black hair and the sword folded in her hands gave way that it was Satsuki Kiryuin posing dramatically with her eyes closed in concentration.
Michiru's group stopped a few feet away from her. Shirou narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Satsuki Kiryuin," Satsuki answered, her thick eyebrows furrowed seriously. "And you are…Kagemori, Ogami, Hiwatashi, Itami, Flip, and Jackie, correct?"
"Yeah…," Michiru said slowly. "Um…can we help you?"
"My sister and comrades believe I am elsewhere, so I will keep this brief," said Satsuki bluntly. "I don't understand what this world is or how we all came to be here, but no matter the world, I will do everything within my power to protect the people I hold dear."
"Oh, um, that's nice…," said Michiru awkwardly. She had no idea where Satsuki was going with this.
"That being said," Satsuki continued, now outright glaring at them. "I do not trust you people. I have sensed that the other groups, though strange in their own ways, all have good intentions. But you…I sense hostility and darkness, especially from you," she leered at Shirou.
"Are you here to threaten us?" questioned Shirou, glaring in return.
"I don't make threats, I carry out executions," said Satsuki severely. She moved into her starting stance, ready to pull Bakuzan from its sheath at any moment. Michiru squeaked and took a step back; her animal instincts could sense her killer aura. "If you pose a threat to my loved ones, then I will not hesitate to put you down."
"Is that right?" Shirou snarled. He stepped in front of the group, ignoring Michiru's warning, and transformed into his powerful wolf form with his teeth exposed threateningly. "You still want to challenge me, human?"
"It doesn't matter what form you take," Satsuki said coolly. "I will cut you down where you stand."
"H-Hey, hey, hold on a sec!" Michiru sputtered frantically, trying flutily to pull Shirou back by his coat. "Let's just calm down for a minute, huh?! We can't be fighting on the first day of school!"
"That's up to the human," Shirou growled.
Michiru grimaced as she looked back and forth between the two clearly super powered opponents. Satsuki and Shirou locked eyes with one another, never blinking, waiting for the other to strike first. A long moment of silence silence passed through the street…when Satsuki suddenly removed her hand from her sword and stood up straight in a stiff, but relaxed stance. Sensing that the danger had passed for now, Shirou reverted back to his human form, but still leered at the white-clothed woman.
"She's right, it is the first day of school," said Satsuki. "And getting into fights with other students is against Mikisugi-Sensei's rules. Even the student council president must abide by the rules, so I will leave this for now. But don't forget," she added sharply to the Beastmen, "if you harm my sister or friends, I will slaughter you like the animals you are. Rules be damned."
With that final threat, Satsuki turned away from the Beastmen, her lengthy hair whipping around her, and walked toward the sunset. Dramatically, of course.
"That could've gone a whole lot worse," said Michiru, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Ogami," Nazuna said with a serious edge in her tone. "Be honest. If you two had fought…would you have beat her?"
Shirou stayed silent for a moment, and then said, "I know that she's human. But every instinct in my body is telling me she's not a normal human. So, to answer your question…I truthfully have no idea if I could've beaten her."
"Eh?! She's that strong?!" Michiru yelped shockingly.
"Our new classmates definitely aren't the normal sort," said Marie, speaking lightly despite the serious topic. "You better watch your step, tanuki, or you could get into some serious trouble."
Michiru groaned loudly.
The tension was unexpectedly broken when Nina yawned loudly.
"Can we go home now?" Nina asked cutely. "I'm getting sleepy."
"Yeah, probably a good idea," Michiru agreed. They started walking a few more paces when the tanuki girl suddenly stopped. "Er…does anyone know where we're staying in this world?"
"…..."
Meanwhile, in the high school's principle office, the skeleton cop-looking being acting as the school's principle sat behind his black stone desk while Mikisugi was being served tea by Miss Secretary (mostly because he has no animation and therefore couldn't move beyond his desk).
"So, how are our new students doing?" asked the flaming skeleton principle.
"They're very interesting," said Mikisugi, taking a short sip of his tea. "But they still haven't quite opened up to each other yet."
"Well, I trust you will find a way to make it work, Mikisugi-Sensei," said the flaming principle. "After all, you were chosen to be their teacher for a reason."
"Aw, it's nice to hear that you think so highly of me, Inferno Cop-Sensei," said Mikisugi.
"Uh…I'm Over Justice," said the principle awkwardly. "General Manager of the Space Patrol's Ogikubo Division…."
"Wait, so you're not Inferno Cop?" said Mikisugi surprisingly.
Principle Over Justice sweatdropped.
I liked this chapter because the introductions give way to what I think could be some interesting dynamics between the four groups. Though they all come from different story types (ecchi battle anime, magical girl anime, gag anime, and furry anime), they all have something that they could potentially bond over, like Inumuta and Constanze over science and Marie and Midori over illegal things. If think there's anything else, please feel free to let me know.
I also made a seating chart in case anyone was curious. You can find it on the AO3 version of this story. All the seats are facing to the left.
Now, imagine Ryuko, Akko, Luluco, and Michiru performing Isekai Girls Talk at the end.
