Chapter 9

July X 20XX

Dear Diary,

Much to Chika's surprise, there are not a lot of shenanigans going on today. Not from the students at least. Sure, there's assassination attempts on Koro-sensei but today went by peacefully... Koro-sensei do something whacky to teach us, Irina-sensei give kissing lessons during English period, Karasuma-sensei being attacked by students... Chika is ashamed to say that she is yet to hit Karasuma-sensei. Koro-sensei built a sand Taj Mahal this time.

That doesn't mean there's nothing going on though. Shiota-san got hit by Karasuma-sensei. Don't worry Diary, Shiota-san is fine. Karasuma-sensei just put too much force when he pushed him. That never happened before... Chika wonder why now...?

Kurahashi-san invited Karasuma-sensei to have tea with the whole class after school. But he turned down the invitation... Like he have no opening in assassination, there's no opening with his private life. But what right does Chika have to comment that? Koro-sensei assures us that even if he's here only because it's his job, the blood of a splendid teacher flows within his veins as well. Does that mean Karasuma-sensei is a better teacher than Irina-sensei? Maybe there's just different kind of 'good' and 'bad' in this occupation. At least Irina-sensei is open to us... Too open unfortunately.

Still, Chika feel a little bad for Kurahashi-san... It's clear to everyone (maybe not to Karasuma-sensei) that she have a major crush on him. Mangas and light novels often have teacher-student relationships in it... But real life is not the same with the books. Chika can see why Kurahashi-san fall for Karasuma-sensei though. He's handsome, strong, kind (in professional sense), supportive to us. He never give us condescending looks or words. Unlike the teachers in the main building... Not to mention he balances out Koro-sensei's and Irina-sensei's antics.

Okay, Chika will admit it. Chika have a crush on Karasuma-sensei... But all girls (maybe not Hazama-san) have a crush on him too. Not as big as Kurahashi-san's though... Still... Chika is pretty sure this 'crush' is not 'love'. Chika just knew... Weird huh..? Chika wonder if Irina-sensei have a crush on Karasuma-sensei as well.

So... Did we end up going to have that tea after school? The answer is no. Why? Chika will tell you now.

Class E have another addition coming in today. No, Diary. It's not another transfer student. The Ministry of Defence send another personnel to assist Karasuma-sensei in PE. His name is Takaoka Akira-sensei. He brought with him lots and lots of sweets (and drinks). He even admitted being a sweet lover. Honestly Diary, you would mistake him a shopaholic for sweets. He bought so much sweets like Toshiko-nee with fashion. No, really... Even the sweets are from expensive stores. He planned to empty his wallet from the start so there is no need for us to hold back. Takaoka-sensei insist that it is not a trap. He just want to get along with everyone. Plus, food tastes better when you sit around and eat it with everyone. He immediately won over Koro-sensei when he offer him some of the cakes. Hara-san commented that he is just like a neighbourhood father figure. Takaoka-sensei went so far to call us family because we're in the same classroom. He have no problem with slinging an arm around the boys, playfully headlock them.

The class ended up spending the afternoon with Takaoka-sensei, eating sweets. Afterward we play soccer. Takaoka-sensei seems to be a laid-back guy, the polar opposite of the serious Karasuma-sensei. But Chika is still feeling nervous. Is this what a father figure is like? Chika can't imagine Father acting like Takaoka-sensei...

The sweets are really good though.

Chika wonder what tomorrow's PE lesson will be like...?

P.S. The henna tattoo have wore off... Irina-sensei is very very pleased.

Akabane-san ditched PE again. Chika noted as the whole class sit down on the grass, waiting for Takaoka-sensei's instruction. Akabane-san did keep his distance with Takaoka-sensei yesterday, maybe he don't trust him? Or maybe he's just too lazy. To be honest, Chika still feel uneasy as well. Everyone is eager for the lesson. Maybe it's just her being weird. Karasuma-sensei is watching them from the building. Chika saw Koro-sensei flew away earlier on. Usually he stick around in the sandbox when Karasuma-sensei teach...

"Okay, everyone's here! Well then, from today onwards we'll start our new PE class!" Takaoka-sensei said excitedly. "I think it might get a bit harsh but... When we're done, I'll treat you guys some tasty snacks again!"

"You're just saying that because you want to eat them right?" Nakamura-san teased their new teacher.

"Pretty much~ That's how I got this round," Takaoka-sensei playfully pinched his chubby belly. "And let's decide on a shout to get everyone fired up! When I say '1, 2 ,3' you guys make a peace sign and yell 'Victory!'" He make a peace sign himself.

"Woah, that's pretty old-fashioned. And a rip-off too," the class laughed at Sugino-san's joke.

Takaoka-sensei pouts, "You nitpicker! I'm not ripping off anything off, it's a homage!" The others laughs harder.

When the laughters ended, Takaoka-san pull out a stack of paper. "Now then! Along with a complete overhaul of the training program, Class E's schedule has also changed. Pass this around to everyone."

A new schedule? This is getting weirder and weirder. Chika take one paper before hand the rest to Kimura-san. Immediately her eyes widened. They will only have regular subjects from 9 to 11.50 am. From 12 pm onward to 9 pm, they will have training, training and more training. There's barely any time for lunch as well. 12 straight hours at school? The main building don't allow its students to be in the faculty after 5 pm! What the heck is this!

"This much is a given," Takaoka-sensei said casually, "I got the Board Chairman's approval too. He said, 'The Earth is in a time of crisis, so there's no helping it.'"

That awful man!

"If we follow this curriculum, your abilities will grow by leaps and bounds. So without any further delays-"

Maehara-san cut Takaoka-sensei off, leaping to his feet. "Hold on a second! This schedule is impossible! If this is all the time we get to study, our grades will drop! The Board Chairman knew that when he approved it!" He voiced everyone's opinion. "There's no time for us to have fun either! There's no way in hell we can do this!"

BAM

Chika covers her mouth when Takaoka-sensei kneed Maehara-san right in the stomach. He throw him to the grass like some rag doll. Isoga-san is there in an instant, checking over Maehara-san who coughs and holding his stomach.

"It's 'We Will'. Not 'We Can't" Takaoka-sensei said with a cheerful smile. "I told you right? That in our 'Family', I am the 'Father.' Is there a single family in this world where the father's orders aren't absolute?"

This man...!

"Okay!" Takaoka-sensei clapped his hands, "First up is three sets of 100 squats each!" No one moves an inch. "Anyone who wants to quit is free to do so. If you do, I'll use my authority to fill the gap with a new student. There are plenty of strong soldiers who I raised personally with loving care. Even if 1 or 2 of you are replaced, that octopus won't run away." Is he even allowed to do that? Then again, Board Chairman accept an AI... "But I really don't want to do that. You're all my precious family after all," He give the class a fatherly smile, "As a father, I don't want to lose even a single one of you!" He hugged Mimura-san and Kanzaki-san from behind. "Let's save the earth from crisis together, as a family! Okay?!"

Takaoka-sensei turn to Kanzaki-san. "Allright? You'll follow your father, won't you?" He pat her head.

"Well, um... I..." Kanzaki-san looked up and smiled, "I don't want to. I'd rather have class with Karasuma-sensei."

SMACK

Chika winced at the sound. Kanzaki-san fell to the ground. Her cheek is now bruised. There's even a trail of blood on the corner of her mouth. Sugino-san rushed to her side while Kayano-san checked on her.

"You guys just don't seem to get it at all. "Yes" is the only thing I should hear out of you. If you have a problem with that, then how about we let our fists do the talking?" Takaoka-sensei balled his fist and get into a fighting stance. That friendly smile still plastered on his face. "That's your father's forte!" He said cheerfully.

"STOP, TAKAOKA!"

Karasuma-sensei!

Karasuma-sensei run to the field, worry on his face. He must have seen Takaoka-sensei smacking students around. "Are you all right? Is there any pain in your neck?" He asks Kanzaki-san.

Kanzaki-san smiled, despite being in pain. "Karasuma-sensei... I'm okay..."

"What about Maehara-kun?" Karasuma-sensei turned to Maehara-san who still clutching his stomach. He assure him that he's fine but Chika can see that he's still writhing from pain.

"I'm making sure to hold back you know. They're my precious family so that's a given," Takaoka-san said reassuringly but his fist is still balled.

"No" A new voice joined them. Chika feel immense relief when Koro-sensei appears. He place a tentacle on Takaoka-sensei's shoulder. His whole body is red from anger "They are not your family. They are my students."

Takaoka-sensei hardly react at all, "Is that a complaint, monster? I'm fairly certain I was the one put in charge of PE. Additionally, the punishment just now was perfectly within the bounds of a training session. This is all to raise them, in a short span of time, into assassins who will kill you. Or what? You will attack a man who hasn't done a thing to you... Just because his teaching methods are a little different?"

Koro-sensei who take teaching very seriously can't refute. He have different albeit whacky teaching methods as well that normal teachers would look down upon. Koro-sensei can't say anything back. They have no choice. PE lesson must go on. Grudgingly they start their first squat set. Karasuma-sensei give them squats as well, but still in reasonable number like 30. Takaoka-sensei give them 10 times the amount of that as warm up. What about knife lessons? Will he hit them as well if they mess up? All with a smile on his face?

Takaoka-san is making rounds, checking if there's anyone who is not quick enough. He grabbed Mimura-san earlier when he falls behind. "That's right kids. Just listen to what your Father told you. Father knows best."

In a moment of impulsiveness that is rare on her, Chika mutters under her breath "...you are not my father..."

"What was that?" Takaoka-sensei grabbed her from behind, by tightening his fist on her hair. "Did you say something, girly?" He get too close to her face. The smile looks like a slasher smile in this distance.

"...Nothing"

Takaoka-sensei stare at her for a moment before smiling wider and let her go. She immediately rubbed the back of her head. Her scalp is stinging with pain. Hara-san, Kimura-san and Takebayashi-san shot her concerned looks.

"...Karasuma-sensei..." Kurahashi-san whimpered.

"Oi" Takaoka-sensei is there in an instant, cracking his knuckles. Karasuma-sensei must be a taboo word for him. "Karasuma isn't part of our family. Children who don't rely solely on their father... Must be punished!" He swing his fist back. Kurahashi-san winced and so is Chika. Thankfully Karasuma-sensei grabbed his arm before Takaoka-sensei can punch her.

"Don't... be any rougher with the students," He tightened his grip on Takaoka-sensei's arm. "If you want to get violent, I'll be your opponent." Chika breathed out in relief, the rest of the class also looked on with relief.

Takaoka-sensei pull back his arm. "I told you already didn't I? This isn't violence. It's training." He looked so relaxed as he said it. "I don't intend to fight you with violence. If we're going to have a showdown, it will be as teachers to the very end." If it's a fight... Karasuma-sensei will undoubtedly win..! "You guys haven't accepted me yet either, right? Your father's reluctant to continue like this too." He pulled out an Anti Sensei knife from inside his jacket. "So how about this! We'll decide things on this! Karasuma, choose one student you would recommend out of those you've raised."

Huh?

"They'll fight against me, and if they're able to hit me even once with the knife... I'll acknowledge your teaching methods were better than mine. Then I'll leave their training entirely to you and leave! A man doesn't go back with his words!" Then... They have a chance after all! Not everyone have done it, but some have hit Karasuma-sensei! Chika can sense there's a 'but' coming though... "But of course, if I win I won't allow any further meddling either..." He toss the Anti Sensei knife to the ground. "This isn't the knife we'll be using..." Suddenly, he pull out an object from his bag.

A real blade

"I, a human, am the one you're going to kill. The knife used has to be the real deal." Takaoka-sensei's cheerful smile fully turn to a manic grin.

Naturally, strait-laced Karasuma-sensei refused, "Stop this! They aren't trained or prepared to kill a human! Even if they hold a real knife, their bodies would just freeze up and they wouldn't be able to stab at all!"

"Don't worry. Even if they stop just short of cutting me, it'll still count," Takaoka-sensei said casually. "I'll be unarmed too, so you couldn't ask for a better handicap."

That's... True... But there is no one here that don't have what it takes to use a real blade. Isogai-san and Maehara-san who have hit Karasuma-sensei will have better chances but Maehara-san is compromised due to being attacked by Takaoka-sensei earlier. He knows exactly how strong his hits can be. The devious Akabane-san is not here either. Since he is from the same elite forces with Karasuma-sensei, defending against a junior high student is easy for Takaoka-sensei. It's wether or not they are mentally prepared for this. Chika don't doubt that Koro-sensei will step in when the situation get worse. Even he couldn't possibly condone this...

"COME KARASUMA! CHOOSE ONE! If you don't like it, then obey me unconditionally!" Takaoka-sensei brandish his blade, "Will you abandon the students, or present one as a sacrifice?! You'll be an awful teacher either way! HAHAHAHAHA!"

This man... Chika balled her fist. She never feel this angry before. To have this much hatred. This man waltz in into their classroom, playing father, forcing them to play family. Maybe part of her anger stems from her own issues with her father, but Chika don't really care about that at the moment. This... This monster is going to destroy them. She can't let that happen. But frustratingly, her power is nowhere enough to beat him.

Takaoka-sensei throw the blade to Karasuma-sensei's feet. He calmly pick it up before turning around to face them. This is it. The moment of truth. Who will Karasuma-sensei choose?

Shiota-san.

Everyone's eyes bulges in surprise. Why Shiota-san? His knife work is average at best and don't even get started with his physical strength. Chika knows that he's quick on his feet. Not as much as Kimura-san (the fastest member in their class) but quick nevertheless.

"If I must choose, then it would probably be you but," Karasuma-sensei offer him the knife. "Before you answer, I want you to listen to my thoughts on that matter. As part of the same group entrusted with the mission of saving the Earth... I think of all of you as fellow professionals. As professionals, I believe in the barest minimum you should receive in compensation is the guarantee of a normal middle school life."

Karasuma-sensei... He thought of them that way? He really care this much?

"That's why there is no need for you to force yourself to take this knife. I will endeavour to request... that Takaoka maintain that 'compensation'"

Takaoka-sensei chuckled derisively. "If you bow down to me dogeza style, I'll consider it Karasuma."

Chika itched to shoot him but that thought flew out of the window when Shiota-san accept the knife.

"I'll do it."

The whole class can only watch in anticipation as both side prepares for the match. Karasuma-sensei is whispering instructions to Shiota-san while Takaoka-sensei took off his jacket. He is clearly ready, judging from his confident fighting stance. Koro-sensei and Bitchirina-sensei are watching from the distance. Silence reigned over as the two opponents stare at each other. Takaoka-sensei have a smug smile on his face. Shiota-san is staring at the blade in his hand. It won't be weird if he start to panic over the possibility of fatally injuring Takaoka-sensei. Shiota-san take a deep breath. Suddenly he lower his blade. He calmly approach Takaoka-sensei with a smile on his face. So calm... So... Normal. As if he is walking to school. He's smiling for goodness sake! Takaoka-sensei is thrown off guard. That's why when Shiota-san softly bumped into him, he hardly reacts.

That's when he swing the blade to his neck.

Takaoka-sensei move backwards in order to avoid the blade. Shiota-san pull the back of his shirt, causing him to fall. Shiota-san, in a swift and not mention smooth movement, got behind him and cover his eyes. The blade pressed against his throat.

Shiota-san look up to Karasuma-sensei, suddenly looking a bit lost, "Was I not supposed to use the back of the blade, Karasuma-sensei?"

Chika feel a chill on her spine. Not an excited chill... But a chill of horror.

"That's enough!" Koro-sensei took the blade out of Shiota-san's hold. "The match has been decided, Karasuma-sensei." He start to chew on the blade. His teeth easily crush the metal, "Seriously... Making a student carry a real knife. You must be out of your mind. And what would have you done if he'd gotten injured?" Despite his words, Koro-sensei looked smug. Chika don't doubt he will jump in to save Shiota-san if the situation turn worse. Everyone else rush to Shiota-san's side, cheering. Maehara-san slapped him in order to make sure it's still Shiota-san. Chika keep her distance. She still couldn't shook off the chill she had earlier. Karasuma-sensei have conflicted look on his face. He must be surprised as well. For others it might be awesome but that might not be the case for adults. Bitchirina-sensei have a similar look on her as well.

Takaoka-sensei loomed over Shiota-san from behind. The enraged expression he has is terrifying. "You little brats... Turning against me, who is practically your father... You're that pleased over that fluke of a win, are you?" He growled menacingly. "One more match! This time, I definitely won't let my guard down! I'll smash both your spirits and bodies to pieces!"

Shiota-san calmly turn around to face him. "If we fought again, I'm sure I'd be the one to lose. But Takaoka-sensei it should be clear that Koro-sensei is our 'homeroom teacher' and Karasuma-sensei is our 'training instructor.' That will absolutely not change. I feel that Karasuma-sensei, who devotes himself to being professional, is much kinder than Takaoka-sensei, who forcefully passes himself off as a father. We're grateful that you gave your all trying to make us stronger, but I'm sorry. Please leave." Shiota-san bow down to him.

Chika feel like smiling. Those words... Well said Shiota Nagisa-san.

Takaoka-sensei don't take it well though, "You think... I'll just listen to this crap... For a lowly brat... To say such things to an adult..." He gritted his teeth. Shiota-san take a step backward when he suddenly lunges toward him. Instead of Koro-sensei, Karasuma-sensei is there to stop him. He elbowed Takaoka-sensei in the face without even looking. Takaoka-sensei fell to the ground, head first.

"I apologise for the trouble my colleague has caused. Don't worry about the rest. I will negotiate with the higher ups so I'll be to serve as your sole training instructor. If it becomes necessary, I'll even threaten them with a gun to get their agreement."

Karasuma-sensei... Chika's heart swelled in happiness.

And then he appears.

The Devil himself, Board Chairman Asano Gakuho. He is standing over the flight of stairs connecting the sports field and old school building. As usual, he have a business smile on his face. How long have he been standing there? Have he been watching them? It couldn't be that he set up security cameras in the old campus? Would he go that far?

Chika's stomach start to hurt.

The students parts, giving him a path "I came to see the state of affairs, as the proprietor. I was interested in the new teacher's abilities you see," He crouch down next to Takaoka-sensei. "But you know Takaoka-sensei, your class was horribly dull." Board Chairman get real close to his face, touching his chin even. Chika shudders at the sight. Board Chairman really have no qualms of invading other people's spaces... "Fear is a necessary element of instruction. A top-notch educator would know how to use that fear skilfully and efficiently. However, the sort of teacher who can only cause fear through violence... Is even less than third-rate. Once you lose to brute force weaker than your own, your lessons are stripped of all persuasive power." Board Chairman shove a paper into Takaoka-sensei's mouth. "This is your notice of dismissal. You will be unable to teach from this point on."

Board Chairman is firing Takaoka! Chika watches on in a mix of awe and horror.

"You at the Ministry of Defense do not have the power to appoint teachers to this school. Do not forget that everything here is under my jurisdiction." Board Chairman stood up, pull out a handkerchief and wipe his hands. Everyone can only look as he leave the school ground, not even reacting when Takaoka sprint passed him out of fury and shame. The whole class cheers in joy. The Board Chairman is still scary but he do something decent once in a while... That's still scary though. Her stomach calm down when Board Chairman is completely out of sight.

Chika noticed that Karasuma-sensei and Koro-sensei is in a deep conversation. Karasuma-sensei still look pretty shook up. Must be about Shiota-san... Their conversation is cut short when Kurahashi-san and Nakamura-san approaches them.

"By the way, Karasuma-sense~ Thanks to the students' hard work, you were able to return as the PE teacher sooooo," Nakamura-san grins. "Shouldn't we get some sorta special award?"

"Yeah~ Takaoka-sensei would give us a bunch of sweets for being so good~" Kurahashi-san clasped her hands.

Karasuma-sensei stare at the students for a moment before smiling. Karasuma-sensei! Smiling! He look so handsome... Karasuma-sensei pull out his wallet. "I don't know a thing about sweets. I've got my wallet out so tell me what you want to eat when we get to town." The whole class cheered. Karasuma-sensei may not be able to afford the sweets Takaoka-sensei bought but when you sit down and eat with someone you care about, it's more delicious than some high end confectionary. Chika should order something light... Board Chairman upset her stomach earlier. It appears the whole class will go have tea in town after all.

The sweet tooth Koro-sensei also want to join, "Nyuaa! Sensei wants in on that reward too!" He's drooling.

"Huh? What did you do to deserve it Koro-sensei?" Okana-san asked with a sweat drop on her head.

Sugaya-san joined in, "You really weren't all that involved this time around."

Most of the students ignore Koro-sensei's plea as they head back to the building. Kurahashi-san grabbed Karasuma-sensei's arm, half pulling half dragging him. She looked so happy... Koro-sensei does not give up. He grovels on the ground, following them. It's actually pretty disgusting. He really want sweets that much? Chika know that he's a different organism all together but Koro-sensei's health doesn't seem to be affected by the amount of sweets he consumes. The girls screams when Koro-sensei pick up his pace. He reminded Chika of a bug.

All in all, this is a pretty good day. She will have quite the entry to write in her diary...

This chapter takes place from Ch. 38 - 42 in the manga.
