I'm so sorry for the lack of updates. I've been super busy and I haven't had any motivation to write. Besides this part of the story is boring and I got bored of it. I want to get past it quickly now. So here we go.
Also for people who have forgotten in the last chapter, we had the school challenges continue and it is now lunch time. We had the singing challenge, the relay race and the basketball shooting challenge. So on with the chapter!
Nagisa and Karma walked out of the gym together, they were being cautious about the fact that they couldn't be more than 100m away from each other. Nagisa and Karma were talking about some new movies. All of class 3-E were walking together and they wanted to get out of the crowds quickly and eat lunch.
Karma, Nagisa and Sugino were sitting together when Gakushuu Asano came up to them and requested to talk to Karma and Nagisa. Nagisa looked at Karma and the two of them got up to talk with Asano. The strawberry blond led them behind one of the classroom buildings, where no one else was around.
Asano turned around once they stopped walking, "You two are still switched right?" Nagisa nodded his head. "Why are you participating in events then?! Couldn't someone else find out? What if you get hurt?" Karma smirked, "Aww, is the president worried for us?" Asano grit his teeth, "Listen here, Shio- Akabane. I'm only concerned because it is could cause trouble for the school. Don't forget that."
Karma was still smirking, "I'm still going to win in all the events I participate in and I'll win against you." Nagisa shook his head towards Karma and then looked at Asano, "Uh, thank you for caring Asano." Asano mumbled something about it being fine, then said, "I should get back to my friends." The three of them walked back to the main area and were about to go their separate ways when Karma whispered to Asano, "I'll look forward to seeing your class lose~."
Asano whipped around and grabbed Karma shirt, "We're not going to lose. I'm going to beat you and your classmates, just you wait and see!" People started looking at the two of them. Nagisa could hear whispers like, "Did Asano just try to intimidate that tiny blue haired girl?"
"What did she do to him?"
"Isn't that Nagisa Shiota?"
"Oh, he's in E class. It doesn't matter."
Nagisa sighed. The main building people were so annoying. Nagisa tapped Karma on the shoulder, "Hey Nagisa we should get going now." Nagisa reminded Karma of two things; that he was missing time eating lunch and that he was currently having his rivalry with Asano in his body. Karma turned around and started to walk away with Nagisa. They continued to eat lunch. Karma finished eating and decided to buy some strawberry milk from a vending machine.
He left and went to get it. He paid the machine and was going to take the box when he was turned around suddenly and pushed against the wall. Karma cringed and opened his eyes, he was greeted with a couple of guys who didn't look happy at all. One of them spoke up, "Hey Nagisa, what's with you and the school president eh? What did you do to upset him that much, you better not have insulted him." The boy bumped his fist into his other opened palm. Karma looked up unimpressed, 'Was that supposed to be intimidating?'
Karma knew better than to beat the guys up, he wouldn't do that to Nagisa if he had been himself though he would have beat them all straight away. Karma was racking his brain to come up with an idea to get the guys away from him. He remembered Nagisa's bloodlust, perhaps he could use that. Karma looked at the floor then looked up, he tried to will as much as possible for him to release some of Nagisa's killing intent. It seemed to work, the guys, first of all, stepped back but when Karma looked each in the eye they ran off in fear.
Karma sighed, he felt sorry for Nagisa; having to deal with that crap every now and again. He decided not to tell Nagisa about these so called 'bullies' from today so he wouldn't make him feel bad. Karma leant down and took the strawberry milk that he bought. He walked back to the spot that 3-E had 'claimed.' Which meant, that they all sat down in one spot and no one from the main building wanted to sit anywhere near them, so they had more or less 'claimed' the area.
Karma chuckled at the behaviour of the main building students. 'It's not like we're going to bite.' He went and sat with Nagisa and Maehara. He drank his strawberry milk and relaxed. The main campus really was huge, Karma found himself looking around at the place. It had so many classrooms and sports places and all sorts of things.
Asano Gakushuu was sitting on a bench with some of the other virtuosos. He was looking over at the crowd of E class students sitting together, or to be more precise, Karma Akabane (currently in Nagisa's body though).
Asano noticed how Karma kept looking around at the school, he could see the slight amazement in the blue eyes as they flicked around at the different places. Asano couldn't help but smirk at the red heads actions.
Asano was oblivious though, to the worried glances he was receiving from his friends currently sitting with him. Ren and the other virtuoso's were concerned about Asano since he had gone up against the small E class student earlier. 'That wasn't like Asano. What was the kids name again? Uh… Nagisa Shiota I think. I couldn't tell if that was a girl or a boy though. They must have done something to aggravate Asano.'
Lunch passed quickly and everyone was called back into the gym. The principal stood out the front again. He started speak to all of the students, "The next challenge will be arm wrestling. Can all class participants please come down to the gym court. Terasaka was 3-E's participant, we went down to the court. The principal continued talking, "E class's nominated student is Karma Akabane."
Nagisa cursed his luck. Of course he had to be chosen. He didn't want to have to participate, but he knew that the real Karma wouldn't back down, so he shakily stood up and walked out to Terasaka. Nagisa didn't feel confident at all, sure he had Karma's strength, but on the inside he was still just Nagisa Shiota.
Terasaka nudged Nagisa's arm, "You sure about this?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine." Nagisa didn't feel fine. He didn't feel fine as he walked down the stairs to the gym and now that he looked around he especially didn't feel fine spotting Asano in among the group of people particiapating.
Nagisa watched as people set up tables and chairs for the arm wrestling matches. Everyone was guided towards a spot to sit. Nagisa went up against some D class students and easily beat them with Karma's strength. He sighed after doing so and looked around, other people were still having their matches.
Nagisa decided to think about how Karma got nominated in the first place. Then Nagisa realised it was probably just a whole lot of people who had grudged against the arrogant red headed genius and wanted to see him lose at a game of strength and pride. Nagisa's thoughts were cut short when a yell of triumph was heard. Nagisa saw that Terasaka had been beaten by a very big burly student from class B. Terasaka grumbled and sat back down at his spot ignoring the jeers from people he passed.
Nagisa was instructed to sit at the table with Asano next. Nagisa gulped and all of the audience gasped. Asano kept his face neutral. They were allowed to start when they wanted to. Nagisa looked at Asano with uncertainty. Asano started speaking, "You're Shiota right?"
"Y-yes."
"Hm, you've been put into a rather unpleasant situation because of that troublemaker." Asano shook his head.
Nagisa sighed, "That's true."
"Can I ask you a question?" Asano looked Nagisa in the eyes.
"Mm."
"Do you have Akabane's skills?"
"I don't understand."
"Will you be able to use the same strength as Akabane normally?"
"I think so."
"Then maybe this will be interesting." Asano put his arm out ready to arm wrestle. Nagisa followed suit and clasped his hand. A teacher moved to them and counted down from three to start the match. The game worked on a one win victory system. They struggled in the middle for a while before their arms started to shift between being in each of their favours.
Nagisa was surprised at Asano's strength and the fact that he could defend against it. Nagisa could feel the pressure from pushing against Asano's arm in his whole body, he was being pushed against his chair and the ground. Asano was in the same state.
Nagisa was trying his best when all of a sudden one of the legs on his chair broke, Nagisa tumbled backwards from the tip in balance. In the process his arm was pushed down to the table since he got surprised and loosened his grip.
The teacher declared Asano the winner. Asano knew that hadn't been a fair win.
It wasn't the fall that hurt most, it was the laughter from the students when he had fallen.
So I've gotten a request to write another ending; a nagikae version from Nagisa-x-Kayano and my answer is sure. So to be clear there are going to be three different endings, a non-shipping one which will be published first, then the Karmagisa one, then finally the Nagikae one. They will all be published at the same time but this is the order they will be published in.
Next chapter is the last challenge of the day… Enjoy~
