"So Nagisa you had to pick the extra credit history project didn't you? Couldn't have gone with the English, no you had to pick History just because of the famous archaeologist Lara Croft attached to the extra credit. And now where are you?" he asked himself.
"now, now Mr Shiota you are here to gain some extra credit so you can get a better entrance score into your chosen university" an English voice said
"Of course Ms Croft, sorry to gripe" Nagisa said
"And may I ask why you are squinting?" Ms Croft said as she noticed her student squinting, alerting him and fully opening his eyes
"No I'm not" Nagisa said
"You were Man" a voice said
"Rio, I thought you were working in the easter sector" Nagisa said
"I was, but I came to tell you, I think we found a clue" Nakamura said as she and the other two raced over there
"This is a good find" Koyama said
"Can't believe Kungigaoka High sent over him" Nakamura said
"Shut it Class E scum" the former foe of Nakamura and Nagisa said "And why is girlie squinting?"
"That's it, I'm going to kill him" Nagiusa scowled
"Not at a the Digsite please Mr Shiota" Lara said
"That place over by that tree with the bear crap looks good" Nagisa muttered
"Okay so this gives the location to the mouth of Orochi, which is said to hold the legendary sword Kusanagi" Ms Croft said
"And hopefully we will find something" Nakamura said
"Yes, in fact the mouth of Orochi is about five to ten miles away from here"
"How far?" Nakamura asked
"8 to 16 kilometres" Nagisa said
"Ah" Nakamura said
Later Nagisa found Nakmura throwing a knife into a tree.
"What are you doing?" Nagisa asked
"Target practice you want in?" Nakamura asked holding out her knife to Nagisa who took it, aimed and threw completly missing the tree.
"That was bad, how out of practice are you?" Nakamura asked
"A bit" Nagisa said as Lara came back holding the knife.
"Nagisa, now I know it was gentlemanly of you, I don't needto borrow your knife to hang up my laundry" Lara said handing Nagisa the knife back before walking off.
"Wow, you are really rusty" Nakamura said
"Okay, so dig around here and after taht we'll head back to teh Alpha Dig site" Lara shouted as a Toyota Land Cruiser pulled up "Who the hell is this" she asked
"Lara Croft, I'm Irina Karasuma" Irina said
"You don't look Japanese" Lara said
"My full name is Irina Jelovic-Karasuma. I'm married" Irina said
"What can I do for you today?"
"I'm looking for a Nagisa Shiota" Irina said
"Mr Shiota!" Lara shouted
"Northern sector" his voice came over Lara's two way as she showed Irina where to go.
Five minutes later she saw a squinting Nagisa looking at a bit of wall
"Nagisa" Irina said
"Hey Bitch sensei" Nagisa said
"I'm here with a package for you" she said
"What?" Nagisa asked as she handed him something making him groan.
"You need those" Irina said
"I can see just fine" Nagisa said
"Whether you put them on or this becomes an extraction" Irina said
"Dumb Bitch" he muttered as Nagisa turned around and put on what he was told to and went back to work.
"Better now?" Irina asked
"So what did Bitch-sensei want?" Nakamura asked
"Still can't believe you had all that hotness to yourselves and then she left to become some government" Koyama said
"Just shut up" Nakamura said "So Nagisa, you find anything?" she asked
"Nope" Nagisa said
"And why aren't you facing us?" she asked again
"No particular reason" Nagisa said
"Nagisa" Nakamura warned
"Is everything okay here?" Lara asked
"Nagisa is stuck" Nakamura chuckled
"Do you need help Mr Shiota?" Kara asked
"No I'm fine" he sighed before turning around.
"Oh my" Nakamura gasped.
The reason Nagisa was hiding was he was now wearing a pair of a silver oval framed glasses.
"Dude; since when have you been needing glasses?" Nakamura asked laughing
"Since I wrecked my eyes doing heavy amounts of homework at night" Nagisa said
"Well, they make you look quite like a gentlemen" Lara mused
"really?" Nagisa said
"Yes, in fact I agree. They add a touch of class. I'm sure Kaede enjoy those" Nakamura said
"She doesn't know yet" Nagisa admitted
"WHAT!" Nakamura said making Nagisa sheepish, when he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. Jumping back down into the digging area he grabbed a brush and dusted off some artefact.
"Incredible" Nagisa said
"What is it?" Lara asked
"What do you think?" Nagisa asked smirking
"My goodness its a Tsurugi. And judging by aging it was fifth century" Lara said
"We're close aren't we?" Nakamura asked
"Very" Lara said as she spotted an opening "There" she said as a couple of the crew opened a door.
"Mr Shiota, Miss Nakamura, Mr Koyama with me" Lara said
"Yes ma'am" the trio said
"Can't believe I have to be stuck with two Class-E students" Koyama said
"Can't believe I have to be stuck with a goblin" Nakamura said
Once they were inside various torches were turned on.
"Incredible, this depicts the battle between Susanoo and Yamato no Orochi. He placed the Kusanagi inside a temple called the mouth of Orochi, where the Master of Serpents could collect it and then he would decided the fate of the world" Lara said
"The Master of Serpents?" Koyama asked
"Yes, I've come across this moniker before" Lara said
"Where?" Koyama asked
"In a book my father had" Lara said "Wait where's Mr Shiota?"
"Nagisa!" Rio called for him
"RIO DON'T MOVE!" Nagisa said
"What are you talking about?" Nakamura asked looking down.
"Are these?" Koyama asked
"Yes, Mamushi, otherwise known as the Japanese Pit Viper" Lara said as a snake crawled over her foot.
"Not cool" Nakamura said as a snake was slithering over the rafters to look at Nagisa in the eyes. Nagisa just glared at it and made the snake recoil.
"Its him" Lara said as they walked out of the snake infested area.
"So what was that about?" Koyama asked
"Nagisa's the master of Serpents" Lara said
"How?" Koyama said
"He's been associated with snakes since Class-E where his Killing instinct took the form of a snake" Nakamura asked as they reached the main area. In it was a giant Snake's head made out of jade.
"That has to be it" she said
"How do we open it?" Nakamura asked.
"I'm guessing with this" Koyama said "Shiota get over here and help me"
"Move over Goblin face" Nakamura said as she and Lara opened the rotating switch which opened the serpent's mouth. Koyama went and got a stick and placed it so it wouldn't close on them
"Mr Shiota, would yoou do the honours?" Lara asked
"Yes ma'am" He said reaching in and grabbing the sword. Which he presented the Kusanagi no Tsurugi to Lara Croft.
"This is impressive, I'm sure the museum of Kyoto will appreciate having this in its collection" Lara said wrapping it so it wouldn't get damaged.
"Time to head home" Nakamura said "I need a bath"
"Not going to argue with you there" Lara said as they all headed out.
