it/that/that film

Teacher's comment:

Incredible. True that some words have similar meaning called 'synonyms' can be used on the blank given but for you to be able to enumerate them? Sensei is currently apologizing for the doubt he has in your return from America.

Tsuchiya Kouta's answer:

seen the panty shot in

only saw the 'teaser'

the contents in detail

Teacher's comment:

Correct but sensei believes that there is more in your answer than meets the eye.

Sugawa Ryo's answer:

caught the poisonous people in

was busy capturing that lousy heretic inside the theatre, we're currently executing him now

the people involved in this outrageous event and we shall dissolve them.

Teacher's comment:

Although sensei admires of creating a sentence inside that blank, he is now worried on the actors involved in his question. Please proceed to the faculty room if given the time…

DING! DONG! DANG! DONG!

"The war against 2-A and 2-F will resume."

"Hurry up, or else we get clobbered like what happened to us last time!"

"Ladies! Keep up with the defense! Its easier now since we only have to defend 2 doors!"

Despite the overwhelming offence we have produced this morning, we've gone on full defense using the same tactic when we were cornered 2 years ago in order to loosen up the tension of traps ahead of us. But compared to our scenario, we still have an overwhelming power that can push back these guys until the end of the war...but that is the problem, we need to win the war, not last it. As of now, the class A are very wary of our movements that they probably had set up traps for us down the hall, we can't progress if we take the slow route yet why is Yuuji so confident about this?.

"So Muscle-head-senpai, what should we do for this problem?"

"We can only rely ourselves in our inner idiots."

"Huh?!"

This idiot is talking nonsense...we're in a class full of smart people compared to the class that called each other idiots all the time...how can there be such a smart person have an 'inner idiot'?!

"Its easy to bring out that condition but why would you need to do that?"

"EHH?!"

I can't believe I'm eating my own words….How?...HOW?!...

"Well...I don't know how will you do this but…*whisper whisper*...and then…*whisper whisper*"

"Ohh...I see...so you want those kinds of idiots...I'll round up D and E-ranked class Fs and have them ready for you."

"Thanks, much appreciated…"

"Now if you excuse me, I'll contact my prized subordinate to gather them up."

"I'll do the same as well. Mitsurini!"

Wow...These two get along quite nicely if they made this kind of deal that smoothly that even Kirishima-san will probably hang him for cheating on her. I wonder what's this plan is all about…

Just then, I witnessed a pair of ninjas appeared before the two commanders, did Mitsurini found a comrade in a sea full of dames? I got to make note of this for future bla- i mean 'future referrences'.

As soon as those two were given the instructions, they immediately vanished as if they weren't there. My curiosity now peaked with this kind of situation where things were almost identical with each other.

"What's the plan about, Yuuji?"

"Ah! Akihisa, I knew you'd approached me anytime soon…"

Are you saying I'm some kind of pet?! Don't go high and mighty just because you are now some high priest or visier of an emperor, Yuuji.

"...I need you for this part."

I crossed my arms in front of him. I'm not falling for any tricks this guy throw at me.

"Hey, easy...where's the trust that we had yesterday?"

Is he referring to that time when I am carrying his weighted balls and dragged him around town? How is that a trust exercise? You're the one who turned it to a one sided blackmail and using it as a one-way ticket to safety!

" ...In anycase, there is a special mission for you."

"If its about going on a suicide mission, why won't you do it yourself? Try to be in my shoes every once in awhile?"

Just in case he forces me I'll-

"Sure. I was going for that anyways."

Ehh?

"Yuuji…have you…" he just said 'bout going into the frontlines without showing any resistance…

"...have you surrendered yourself to Kirishima-san's will?"

Before i could await for a response to my question, my head received a karate chop from this obnoxious bastard.

"That's not it, you bug-brain!"

"What the hell?" I roared back while rubbing my injured head. Don't listen to him, brain, he's just envious how smart we are…

"We're going to use a plan we used two years ago and another plan. We need to set those traps off and thin out class A."

Thin them out? Now that he mentions it, it does make sense, if the army in the battlefield and the ambush team Alexa-san setup were reduced, she'll be forced to send her guard team out, weakening her defense for a frontal attack.

"But why using familiar tactics, Yuuji?" I asked

"This is just a theory but we might be able to succeed even if it happened otherwise."

'And what does this theory involve?' I muttered to myself to give myself time to think. Unfortunately that time was cut short as 3 ladies approached us...though one of them claimed to be a guy and the other claimed to be human.

"...Hey Aki, were you thinking something involving me as some sort of simian?"

"W-What ever do you mean, 'Monk-'..."

"MON?!"

"Mon?..UH...mon...ami! MONAMI!"

I think i flipped a switch inside the monkey as her face is bright red and raised a fist aiming right at me. Is this gonna send me through the battlefield?! No wait a sec, will this even make me live after the hit?!

I can only close my eyes and wish this would be dealt with.

Thump!

Is it over? I think I'm so numb that the hit would hurt me to hell.

"Stupid aki…"

I heard her saying something but i think i am already losing my consciousness.

"Thou hast summoned us, Yuuji?"

"Only for you, Hideyoshi. I only need to reconfirm the plan for Himeji and Shimada."

"I get ya, I will maintain the front lines since the math teacher is still here."

I think i am alive...Did I faint while standing? I shook off the idea as i look out to see Yuuji planning the battle. Minami might've marked me as her prey tommorow….No, Don't even think about such strange ideas in this strange situation.

"A-And i will be doing a support strike like Hiroshima-chan."

Yuuji nodded feeling satisfied with the orders given to them.

"Alright! Hideyoshi, I would like you to join me and Akihisa in a backstage menace. Your specialty is needed for this."

"Understood."

I'm even more confused on why would they formed up for this? 'This plan also involved a familiar tactic like earlier' indeed we used this but why is it that i can't recall which one? Like the one we used with the window… what the heck is wrong with me? Did I hit myself or something?

"Oi! Akihisa! If you have time to space out with that air-filled skull of yours, we need to move out now. We need to time this right."

I want to shove a bucket of nails into this guy's throat but in this situation I don't have a choice but to let it slide as we move the our places.

I positioned myself behind Yuuji, at his command, with hideyoshi supporting us from behind with Minami as the rear vanguard.

"The third floor is occupied by Takenaka-sensei so make sure about your classic literature score, Akihisa.

Once we get to the battlefield in the third year bridge there'll be open classrooms on each sides. The current third years aren't using them so you and Hideyoshi will hide from both sides and prepare an ambush."

"Eh? Yuuji?! You're facing them alone?"

"Don't worry, Akihisa. So leave it to me."

This plan looks like its was made on the fly. I don't have confidence in my japanese literature but neither is Yuuji. Will this plan really succeed in eliminating the ambush attacks? Especially when Yuuji is alone in the bridge?! Well it certainly reduces the risk of me being caught in that situation so I am more than willing to go with this plan and making our own?

Soon enough, 5 women came to our side in a V formation surrounding us. It seems that these women are the people Haruka requested from her version of 'Mitsurini'. Together with us, the we stood close near the entrance, ready for launch.

"You preferred the arrowhead formation in this objective, correct, Muscle-head-senpai? I think they are the ones are quite skilled but not as close as you are."

Yuuji gave his nod of approval before replying.

"It is to be expected since we already had 3 years of combat experience. But if they are as who you say they are, then we'll make sure to make them come back here 'alive'."

The ladies smiled as they looked up to us as if were the heroes. I guess if you considered our 'achievements', we can turn this situation around.

"Alright...Get ready gang!"

""Roger!"" We roared and then Haruka, on cue, gave her firing signal.

""They're firing! Duck!"" the commanders of both sides panicked with their orders due to the condition they were in and soon after, everyone obeyed them out of fear in the attacks… which didn't occur.

Pata! Pata! Pata! Pata!

""Wha?""

"I'm leaving this to you, Shimada!"

"Don't sweat it! Summon!"

Minami stopped behind us and began her surprise flank.

"KUH!" "Kyah!"

"Don't lose ground! Attack team, keep-Window! Duck!"

Bang!

"Guah!"

What we witnessed next was horrifying:Ironman managed to grab 5 students who pleaded for their life as they were heading for the remedial class.

"Save us!" "I'll take hell better than this!" "I can't stand his lectures. Its hell in any way you see it! "

"""Help!"""

...how harsh can Ironman be today that he even scared this generation? But I shouldn't think about it for now. Were off to see Yuuji's demis- I mean plan come into action.

As Yuuji predicted, the rooms on our way to the third floor of the old building were occupied with the ambush team. Their numbers were few but they are B rank level in appearance. Thanks to the formation we've made, none of us in the middle were caught in it as each of the D-rank women handled the problem. It is amazing that they are facing 2 class A students with just their low scores.

"DIE YOU BASTARDS!"

"THOSE WHO DEFY THE LAW OF THE FFF INQUISITION SHALL PERISH!"

"DEATH WILL COME TO THOSE WHO LIVE FREELY WITH THOSE ENVIOUS COMPANIONS."

...If this goes on, though I fear, the FFF will even scare the teachers of schools all over Japan.

We proceed to our destination with just the three of us, just as Yuuji planned, Hideyoshi and I hid ourselves in the room near the staircase between the buildings.

"Oi! Commander! I know you'll ambush us even as far as here. As school rules, the class presidents are updated with each other's locations, and I know its strange for you to be hiding in here unless you have a trap and an escape route back to your room! So why won't you just show up here and we can have ourselves a nice little chat?"

While we are positioning ourselves, I heard that arrogant voice he made as he laid out his cards to his opponent. What the hell is he planning?

And from there we peeked out at an amazing sight despite such dangerous atmosphere. It was as if it was taken from an old movie: Yuuji, a lone warrior, was facing an army of elites, the class A alumni and some students that seem to be her own special forces; if he faced them and there, he will be pulverized definitely. That plan of his better work or I'll enjo-ah! I mean 'be pissed off' if it fails.

"You better have a good deal here, Sakamoto-senpai" the princess voice even reached our ears hidden inside the room. Her small stature defies our beliefs that she stands before this army filled with elites and veterans. Its best to say that she is promoted from princess of the battlefield to the queen of war in this image.

"I must congratulate you for triggering all my traps with a few amount of units to sacrifice"

"Oh! A sacrifice, you say? Sorry to disappoint you but i need them back, they are indispensible to my plan here at the moment. Also that proposition, its not much of a deal...Its more like a suggestion of surrender. That's all." I could see that bastard smirked proudly in front of his surprised and confused opponents. The one I'm surprised about is Kirishima-san not flinching at this bold move. It was as if she expected this to happen from her future husband.

"Huh? Are you perhaps ill, Sakamoto-senpai?" her face was of concern but those like us who are used to these kinds of lies know there's a venomous spite in between them.

"Perhaps… or perhaps I am a bit disappointed that you, and you alone, are the only commander of this war."

Ehhh?! I'm surprised at this, I thought it was a collaboration of the elites and alumnus that were facing against but it turns out that this defensive yet effective plan was all her doing.

"I see, well I expected to be found out sooner than I initially thought."

"In the past, i have learned those two sempais of yours how they fought us and I can easily tell that in this fight, something is obviously off. You know that its a bit hard if you tried to face us, those who had experience with wars, with just strategies that you have learned from us and it takes a lot of mental stress to manage all of the condition of the battle into your own favor."

"I had considered that option, senpai." she smiled and looked at her classmates. "However, I have also considered that it only takes one commander to facilitate his troops with utmost efficiency and increased the chance of success, don't you think so too, senpai?" she looked back at him with a bit sinister smile.

Huh? Is she talking about, Yuuji himself?

"What I have learned from your alumnus is that you took command of every single war, in your time. You defeated everyone except class A. For my perspective, that was quite a feat for a single person command a bunch of idiots."

In a blink of an eye, my ojou-sama image of her was shattered like a broken glass. . .This girl shouldn't be underestimating us.

"Indeed you are right at the most part, they are idiots and I can manipulate them as I wish…." he announced… That's it! This guy is going to the death side of the river!

"...But you were wrong at one thing, my dear kouhai." my body flinched after hearing something he would like to add.

"Its because we accept we are idiots that we have banded together in class F. Its also because we're idiots that we believe in ourselves to be manipulated easily; to be trusted to fail at times; grow hatred against each other each and everyday. We hate each other, true, but that hatred and a common condition is what binds us together to accomplish amazing feats like a certain idiot I would know."

"Are you talking about, Yoshii Akihisa-sempai?"

"Tch!"

The surprised student replied but Yuuji kept his pace of the conversation.

"That guy won't just give up on something so easily. Stubborn as a bull, dumb as one as well, and when that guy is determined about something, he won't quit and will do what it takes to take you out."

It seems Yuuji have seen my true potential and now surrendered to my awesomeness. At last, the time has come for me to feel the spotlight.

"Is this all you have to say for yourself, Sakamoto Yuuji-senpai?" her cold voice blend well with her dark aura. She isn't fazed by Yuuji's words and smiled.

"I shall send you to your grave before you two can meet up, Senpai."

And with that, the moe commander declared her elite troops for the attack but Yuuji just stood there and chuckled as he answered back. "Have you ever even considered that I wouldn't bring any good cards in this kind of scenario?" He began his dash towards the battlefield for a retreat. You didn't plan this far ahead?!

"Alpha team, after him! Bravo team defend the stairs for an ambush! Senpais, please guard me as we head back."

""Roger!""

"Now Akihisa!"

Eheh?! Why did I become a vanguard for this idiot?! Wait… if I don't respond, they would think he's bluffing and will chase him to the ends of the earth, and since he isn't a class president, I won't have to worry if that idiot gets sent to the remedial class. Too bad, Sakamoto Yuuji! This time you dug your own grave! Fufufufu….

"Got it!"

Eh?...what with that voice? It was so familiar as if you can't get rid off the idiotism from the voice alone.

""What?! Is he really here?""

The group of class A students who were chasing Yuuji halted on the hall where the rooms of Hideyoshi and I were beside it. I peeked outside and see a lovely pair of lips facing towards me from the window of the neighboring room.

"There can't be no doubt about it. His voice is so familiar that you can't get rid off the idiotism from the voice alone."

That's when I realized….

"Then where is he?"

...the reason Yuuji brought an angel to my side…

"I am right here, you idiots."

...was to become my devil.

"CLASS F'S YOSHII AKIHISA, SUMMON!" "We're doing the same gag again?! We just did it in 1.5!"

... there was no way I can betray that bastard…

""GET HIM!""

"Tch! I can't afford to flee at this point." I uttered to myself. In a summoner test war, you can't flee the instant you have accepted the battle.

"I have to buy time for myself. Summon!"

And soon enough the geometrical circle appeared and my summoned being revealed itself.

Now...to use some kind of tactic to keep me on advantage. I am currently in the 3-D class room with a single door not barricaded…I can do something about that door but...

Not enough time...unless...

"...DOUBLE!"

"What's wrong?! The target is getting away!"

"A-ah! Commander! There are a lot of strange noise inside is what we believe is inside Yoshii Akihisa's location. The windows are sealed with tape so we can't enter without caution."

"Then what are you waiting for?! Form groups of 2 and seize him. Your partner will act as your rescue in case of problem….men!"

The commander huffed as she heads back to her planned position.

"Alright you heard her. Proceed with caution!"

"Roger!"

Kachak!

"W-what the hell?!"

"What's wrong now?!"

"P-Presisent! The door is barricaded with a wall of tables and chairs!"

"With just himself? No. . .someone is in there with him, proceed with caution!"

"You heard her, Sawamura, you are first."

"I trained you to use your judgement wisely, if you fail then your entire team would be fighting for nothing. Do you understand me? Leave no traces of failure."

"Y-Yes commander! I under-" ""GUAAAH!""

""What happened?!""

"Sir, Sawamura's down!"

"T-there's two… it cant be…"

"Tch! That Sakamoto-sempai, to think he used such an underhanded trick! Everyone, be on your guard and find an alternative route, Yoshii Akihisa-sempai isn't alone in there. 4 of you, try to bait out some of the members in that room; the rest should chase down Sakamoto Yuuji-sempai and catch him before he reached the classroom."

"""Understood, commander!"""

"Alexa-chan, relax, it might be a trap. Sakamoto-kun is the type that thinks of traps than strategy, Ne~! Class President?"

"...I'm not a class president anymore."

"Ah! My bad my bad~! I just got used to it after fighting them for so long."

"Despite becoming an alumni, we still known each other as if time frozen, how infuriating."

"Perhaps it resembles that there is a chance to come back."

"You're being a bit strange lately, Kubo-kun"

"I apologize, university have become rough on me Kinoshita-san."

"Commander!"

"Yes?"

"Can we ask for support in the frontal assault? The members that are C rank in mathematics are falling back."

"No, retreat and switch the classroom to have Japanese literature. And keep someone in the faculty room to alarm and stop their movements as well as to prepare for our next move."

"Roger!"

". . ."

"Kinoshita-san, something wrong?"

"While I understood Dela Rosa-san's judgement on the situation as appropriate, I feel like we've failed to see something troubling that if we don't figure it out soon, the outcome of the war would not end in their favor. Yoshimitsu-san."

". . .we are only here to counteract against this strong class F but, indeed, without knowing the relationship between these two parties in the war, most likely the content of their wager, they might use it to their advantage."

"Well, it doesn't help them if we can stop them first, Teehee~!"

"...let's hope so. In any case, it looks like Sakamoto Yuuji is involved in strategic moves for these class F but he's as involved as when we fought our senpais. Its like he's uncovering something big that he didn't planned."

"Sakamoto Yuuji-sempai might as well because he knew the presence of my ambush teams. We're withdrawing to prepare a huge party for them. These guys managed to delay my movements with just THIS?!..."

"Understood...Pr-I mean, Kirishima-san, we're retreating."

" . . .Yuuji. What are you up to?"

"Tch! Damn!" I may have alerted them even further after taking out the first one with my doubles. It's a good thing that my points are 58, just enough to take out that guy.

I decided to lock the windows and door of one side of the classroom and barricaded the other door with my summoned being leaving only a room for one person to pass through. Its the first time I did this kind of strategy but why is it that it feels like I've seen this before?

It feels like I have seen these strategies and techniques before but for some reason that I don't feel like it as well. As if my brain has been deteriorating in terms of memory. AM I GROWING OLD?!

BANG! BANG!

I shook my head to take my mind of it. Now's not the time to be thinking about aging, Akihisa. They're trying to get to you so get a move on it!.

But...if its like this, they will try to fight me here by the door while the others will find their way in. Its common logic that you send someone behind the scene to kill while being distracted. But I also can't leave this spot because their main force has 4 times my score, I'll be killed by the feedback if it hits me so I placed my efforts here.

...what should I do?...

Kachak!

"Its that damn signal again!"

Bang!

I fired 5 points as the usual instruction given to me by Sakamoto-sempai. It was quite an interesting tactic to do this with Himeji-sempai with each doors and Shimeji-sempai as a distraction. Both sides of the doors seem to be clouded with the riot with Shimada-sempai. It is scary that we have such dependable sempais that are great in combat despite the low scores. With Shimada-sempai supporting the frontlines of the door where the team left, we ready anytime to make an opening for the scout team to return.

"Things are going too smoothly on our side, I wonder what's going on there?"

Haruka-san muttered next to me. I could only shrug and reply

"Probably way more busier than ours…"

"I-I agree"

Kachak!

Bang!

Once again, i fired my points and only left me with 11 points left, I might take an exam soon b-but….I'm terrible at math!

"...Say uhm...Hiroshima-kun?..."

"Hm?"

"D-Do you...uhm...do you...hate it?...being here?"

"Huh?"

What this is about? Haruka-san is acting a bit strange...Did I do something against the FFF law again? I haven't talked with any woman besides these girls around me. More than that...I can't talk to a decent girl in here and me being the only guy here, its a bit troubling for that.

"W-Well...I-I mean, after all, we did things to you and even placed you as a betting chip."

Is...is she trying to probe me?! Finding that I talked with someone else besides here? Maybe my honest words will be effective.

"No! Not at all, I like you guys afterall."

"O-oh!...I see…" as she turned her head away from mine. EH?! IS THAT THE WRONG ANSWER?! I need to fix this or I'll face another trial.

"A-Afterall, you guys gave me the drive to study. Despite me being the weakest, you guys still see me as a comrade."

I declared from the bottom of my heart (mostly not) and it seems I somehow dodged the bullet(or not).

"Dispatch team are returning!"

"Alright! Prepare the second ambush team."

I can't believe her leadership and charisma is so strong that within a year, all of the girls here easily followed her commands and created plans in just a year. Trully a brilliant person that surprsied me to ask why is she in the worst educational environment for the most complete idiots like me, Class F.

"Here they come! Get ready!"

I shook my head out of the daydream I'm having and prepared my gun at the doorway.

"Don't fire 'til i give you a signal."

I can only nod as I stared at the door with my summoned being placed it's finger at the trigger.

Kachak!

"Another one! Drop down!"

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!

"DANG IT! NOT AGAIN!"

I felt a warm, soft and gentle hand placed upon my shoulder, It didn't register for me to look and know who it was...because I know who it is.

BANG!

"GUAH!"

Class F, Hiroshima Shouta, Mathematics, 1 point

VS

Class A, Minoru Akito, Mathematics, 2 points

Tch! I almost took it out…

"I guess it's time for a meeting. You did good, Shouta-kun."

I blinked in surprise and even she couldn't handle the shock.

"J-JUST RECUPERATE YOUR SCORES!"

...those were the last words I heard before my body was sent flying to the back of the room with a red mark on my face.

Its been 15 minutes since I fought those 2 class A kids and they have become alerted to my moves so quickly. Worst case for me if they brought out Japanese literature field before i can even flee.

"Grrr...damn it, Yuuji!" I growled from the depths of my soul, wanting to choke that bastard until he's half dead and slam his face into the ground until he's tenderized for me to feed him to the wolves.

But that plan of action would have to wait. I need to cover my escape route as early as now.

Tak!...Tak!...Tak!

Dang it, seems they're trying to shake off the barricade. Too bad for them, cause I am holding it in its place with my summoned beings but its almost time anyways.

I left my summoned beings off the barricade towards me.

BANG!

Taka! Taka! Taka! Thud!

The sound of the sudden shear force and the sound of the barricade collapsing down. DAMN IT! I HAVE NO CHOICE!

"There he is! And he's actually alone! What the hell just happened for this?"

"Don't just dawdle about it, take him out or the commander would kill us!"

"""ROGER!"""

"Get him! He's Getting away!"

"I see...So we are really running out of time here."

"And some of us are wearing down, including me. I might have a Math that matched B-class students, it's still hard to face them this long." Shimada reminded me of the troops morale slowly dropping.

I had explained what happened and my thoughts in this matter to this 'commander' and it seems like she got an idea on what I'm getting at.

The only time limit we have is the school's time, which is 5pm and currently we are down to only 3 hours left. And it seems that the Class A is handling their side pretty well that we couldn't do any rash movement. Because a slight error on our part will change the tide and immediately become our loss...that's one hell of a girl we're facing. She both knew how we Class F would work and provided countermeasures for each and every trick I might and will come up with. She is trully a strategic genius.

"So what do you have in mind, Musclehead-sempai?"

And she's quite sharp to know that I am thinking of our options in these kinds of situations.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any, not with an idiot I know has returned from the land of the dead."

"Uhm...are we summoning a zombie?"

"A-Akihisa-kun will come back, I'm sure he will."

"Well if he doesnt, I can go to the Detention room and bash his head in."

Akihisa, your valor of protecting me has been like a true comrade...unfortunately I had to use you as my personal bait for us all, along with the D-ranked class Fs returned.

"Well for now, we should wai-"

CRASH!

"A-an ambush?!"

"Protect the commander!" the 2 girls immediately went between Haruka and the assaulter.

From the window?! Just how desperate are they?

Wait…

"Hold it!" I called out.

This isn't over huh…I couldn't help myself but smirk at the ideas that now flowed into my head.

Author's Afterword:

Hi Guys, This is mik106...And yes it's been a year since I last posted...and believe me, Life isnt going to be easy. But I decided to finish this part and might as well finish this story as I can, so don't worry about it not being finished...just worry about when it will be. For now, thank you for your continuous support on this fanfiction.

My-emptiness's answer:

the plan to flip a girls skirt, akihisa was disguised as a female and was still figured out because the minami and himeji likes him…

that line really was so sweet xD

PS. ill consider about my career choice, but *puts on hood* a brother of the FFF remains one with them forever.

Mik106's comment:

. . .Guess it is a world where strange things can occur...like a person can believe that a guy can look like a girl with just make up and stuff

And since no one answered the Bonus Question, I can add a little hint to it.

BONUS QUESTION HINT:

It can happen EVERYTIME when 4 of them are involved.
