Asano looked muddled at the army suit in front of him. Why was this in the store room? He couldn't find a PE uniform anywhere and Karasuma Sensei had told him he would find his here. He rolled his eyes, untucked his shirt for flexibility and went to the ground for the physical education class.

Karasuma Sensei spotted him in his normal school uniform and questioned sharply, "I told you to wear your PE uniform, didn't I? Where is it?"

"There was only an army suit there." Asano shrugged, a bored expression on his face. He never liked PE though he was proficient in it.

"That was your PE uniform, you idiot." Karasuma Sensei shook his head before continuing, "Leave it now. Do this class in your normal uniform but wear that and come next time."

"That was what?" Asano started but was stunned into silence as he saw the other students coming wearing an army suit too. "What on earth is wrong with this place?" he thought, exasperated.

"So, what are we going to do this time, Karasuma Sensei?" Nagisa asked. "Can we play Koro- ball again?" Nakamura pleaded, dragging an annoyed Karma with her. Karma did not usually come to class and Nakamura, now part of the friend circle, ensured he did so, even if it was to simply annoy him.

"No, you get a free class today, to practice whichever skill you want to. You have the usual, the knives, the guns, flexibility or hand to hand combat." Nakamura sighed and picked up a gun, eyeing the target board with disdain. Asano stood disoriented at the sight of the weapons kept on a table and the target boards in the distance.

"Karasuma Sensei!" Tomohito called. "I was wondering if you would like to have a hand to hand combat with me. I have been wanting to practice with you for a long time."

Karasuma Sensei considered for a moment before nodding stiffly. He did care for all of his students though he didn't show it and did enjoy giving personal attention sometimes, like Koro Sensei. He led the boy to the Koro- ball field so the others could practice in peace.

"Don't worry your pretty little head, Asano. These won't hurt you. They are specially made for Koro Sensei." Karma sneered, picking up a gun also to join his partner in crime.

Asano boiled in anger. These fools seemed to take him too lightly! He picked up a knife and got up on the table and said, "Listen up, losers! Bring out the best among you, I will take him or her down!"

The rest of the class looked at each other, amused before turning their collective gaze at Nagisa. "What- What are you looking at? I'm not going!" "Oh, come on, Nagisa! He did ask for the best!" Kayano said, gently pushing the boy forward. Seeing the entire class nodding, Nagisa sighed and picked up the knife, eyed it in his hands for a few seconds and then looked to face Asano. Asano regarded the small blue haired boy with a lofty glare. That's the best they have got? Really?

The rest of 3E formed a circle around the duo, defining their battle ground for them. He looked at Nagisa who was smiling gently. It was a kind smile, but Asano hesitated. Then, he thought, "Well, I don't give a damn!" and darted forward in attack. He was inches away from the boy when suddenly, Nagisa was not there. He only got a moment to register his sudden disappearance when a searing pain rendered him motionless as Nagisa dug his knee into Asano's back bringing him to the ground, knife around his throat and the other leg holding him in position. All the while, Nagisa's smile didn't budge, still as sweet and innocent as ever.

He stayed like this for a few seconds before swiftly getting off the ground and holding out a hand for Asano to get up. The orange haired boy growled in anger and pushing the hand away, got up and stalked off. "What is he? It was all so fast!" he thought, swearing revenge on all of them. "Don't forget, Asano! We have a special show for you after school to welcome you to our class. It needs to be formal! Otherwise, Principal Gakuho will be so disappointed!" Nakamura called after him. His scowl deepened. He did not notice the mischievous glint in Nakamura's eyes or the confused looks the others gave to her, which she silenced with a wink.
