"you may come back in now Asano," The principal called his son back into his office.

What the boy witnessed upon walking in the room was horrific. The other members of the Big Five swallowed up by their hatred awakened by the monster stood before him.

"What have you done," He growled.

"Simply fanned the flames of their hatred, no more. A few words are all it takes, a few whispered truth to unravel your absurd ideas of strength." The principal replies. "My philosophy as you call it, teaches one far less fragile. Incidentally, I'll be handling the end of terms myself."

Gakushu gasped at his father's announcement.

"in the absence of the weak, strength has no meaningful foil, let us go back to square one."

******

Quite angry he storms out of the principal's office, outside awaits another troublesome entity. (f/n) leaned against the wall reading a book at an inhuman speed. She glanced up and fixed her eyes on the student council president.

"what do you want." He growls.

"I should be the one saying that to you." She closed her book loudly. "you have something to say to me don't you."

He didn't answer, instead continues to walk past her. After he is nowhere in sight, her expression saddens, "tsk, idiot..."

*********

"Now as you know for the first-term midterms, I gave you all the objective of placing in the top fifty. My apologies for that, I was too impatient for results, nor did I take into account how gifted your opponent was. That said things are different now. You've matured in mind and spirit. I'm confident the goal I set for you will be within reach, whatever the opposition has in store. This time you'll place in the top 50, win your tickets back to the main campus, and head held high, proudly graduate fro E-class once and for all." Korosensei said.

"you make it sound so easy," Sugino sighs. "A-Class has a new teacher to help them prep—and you won't believe who it is."

So the principal has finally made his move on the chess board, huh? (f/n) thought twirling a lock of her hair through her fingers.

"So we've come to that, have we." Koro-sensei mumbles. 

"Bad luck for them, who wants to be brainwashed by that creep am I right?" Mimura said leaning back on his chair. "you guys know what I'm talking about, the way he can trap you with that steely-eyed glare, and his teaching methods are hardcore, you can't even move at Mach 20."

"If he's the one prepping them for exams; they probably already lost the will to defy it."

********

"What are you doing in front of my house." Gakushu glares at (f/n) who seems to be everywhere.

"I can't believe you lowered your pride and actually bowed your head down to my classmates." (f/n) gave him a knowing smile. "I guess being kicked out of the class and being powerless to help your classmates from that father of yours really did a number on you."

"you didn't answer my question." He said walking through his gate.

"Between your father and my brother's ego, I want to see your mental state." (f/n) answered as he turns around to see her smile a little bit. "you seem to have more fire in your eyes than ever, I'll be looking forward to the end result of the exams."

"Oh, almost forgot, here." She threw something at him, which he caught. "use it, it's been confirmed to help improve memory."

"Such a weird girl," He looks down at the gum in his hands. "Who's side is she one?"

*************

"wait! all this just for the math portion of the exam!!" a teacher in the lounge gaped at piles of textbooks.

"Well, the principal did instruct us to go through everything and come up with the hardest questions."

"oh for goodness sakes. this is junior high. what? We're preparing them for college now." he picked up one of the books groaning. "I understand raising the bar but he's out of his mind."

"You're not wrong, this is stupid." (f/n) took off her headphones that are connected to the tape recorder she set up in the teacher's lounge.

'You know if you are found out that you were eavesdropping on them while they are making the exams...'

"Whatever mom..." (f/n) rolled her eyes.

'I'll have you know I was an educator once, if you were one of my students and I caught you doing the outrageous acts you do. Hmph. I would've expelled you.' She said pissed off.

"If I was one of your students, I would expel myself." (f/n) said jokingly.

**************

The day of battle is upon us...

"Yeah, not the biggest fan of the lookS in their eyes." Yoshida grimaced as he walked by classrooms filled with students looking like they're out for blood.

"ignore it, you know they're just psyching  themselves up." Rio said arrogantly. "think you can beat them Karma?"

"eh, I don't know," He shrugs. "I mean if they are actually planning to kill me, that might slow me down a tad."

They walked into their designated class and immediately were ambushed by none other than...

"heads up" (f/n) threw each of them a piece of gum. "one for each of you."

"thanks?" they said confused to why she gave them gum of all things. (f/n) just laughed it off and popped a piece into her mouth.

"Well, one thing for sure, I don't have to worry out your sister passing this exam." Rio told Karma.

The big showdown between A-class and E-class had come, students led by two different monsters, hungry, ready to massacre each other... on paper. Unless we assassinate this exam, I don't think we'd be able to hold our heads high even if we do assassinate Korosensei.

Director: uh duh, I'll massacre anyone that touches my food. (shouts off camera) I'm talking to you shit author.

Author (flinches): RETREAT!! My evil plans have been exposed.

Director: And while you're at it give me next chapter's script

English

"Pencils down!" The teacher said, and they were felt breathing heavily from the fast-paced questions.

"It's no good...I couldn't get through 'em all."

"This is hard. There's not enough time to answer every little question!"

"The listening comprehension test was a beast, not even Professor Bitch would know all those vocabulary meant!"

The first test and we're already wiped out. And this was only the beginning.

Social Studies

The grade-average on this thing must be ridiculously low. Even if one of us passes it will b nothing short of a miracle.

'What do we expect really this exam is meant to take us down.' Nagisa thought.

"So how's the A-Class doing?"

"I sneaked a peek at 'em during the break, dude, talk about seething. They were like blood-crazed animals. Never underestimate the power of hatred I guess."

Japanese

"Never mind that—just look out!"

"Every man for themselves!"

When the titan struck his blade down, they all closed their eyes at the impact, then opening them to find fake Ritsu protecting them. "DOn't worry I know what's up. We land in the top fifty or we're done isn't that right." She said, turning around to face her shocked classmates.

"Who are you!?"

"Oh, that's the fake Ritsu." Nagisa sweatdrop.

Fake Ritsu
Last Midterm Rank: 88th out of 186

"Bingo and the real Ritsu broke it down like so: reaching our goal hinges on lower-performers like me working as hard as we can to drive up the average for everybody else." She explains.

"Hmm... right then- next round."

Mathematics

"Begin!"

Everyone flips over the test paper.

'All the questions are uncommonly difficult, and as many as they are one has to plot out a method of the attack immediately. Hesitate for even a fraction of a second... and you'll be backed into a corner.' Takebayashi thought then smiled and pushes up his glasses. 'But the comrade we were most worried about is doing fine.

Terasaka yells as he continues destroying all the equations, using nothing but brute force.

"Is Terasaka for real?"

"It's a question about probability. He's using brute force, essentially blowing through each potential answers as quickly as he can. But aren't we suppose to use a combination equation?" Muramatsu asks.

"Meh, it's the best strategy for a lug head like him," Hazama explains. "If you stop and think about it, it's easy to take too long fishing for the most efficient approach, sometimes it's better to come out gun's blazing before you can second guess yourself especially on this stuff"

"Now when you see a question like this, don't be perplex—simply use the tactics I've shown like so. Simplicity is your forte. Think raw power and go for broke! Squish squish!"

"Screw you, octopus! I may be a moron but I'm hella strong." He yells angrily as he recalls Koro-sensei's lectures in his head.

"You gotta admire his fortitude, even if he is an idiot." Yoshida grins as Muramatsu nods in agreement.

"Remember guys we are the End Class!" Okano said. "We don't play I cool, we play it quick and dirty." She lifts her gun and joined by Maehara they race pass waves of laser bullets, "Zero in on your opponent's weakness!"

If you know where to aim you can take it out in one shot! You may not get the right answer... but if you take the right approach... at the very least you can get... partial credit!

When the crystal finally collapses, Sugaya cheers, "Alright! I think that did the trick!"

"No time to review people! On to the next one!" Terasaka orders, and then everyone started to lose their balance when the ground starts shaking.

Maehara stumbled backward when the ground beneath him opened up, revealing the next question: Find the general formula for a[n] as defined in the following recurrence-relation sequence {a[n]}.

"Crap...recurrence relations, now!?" Chiba exclaims.

"I thought this was just an urban legend, they put it on a junior high exam!?!" Nagisa yells when the ground starts to shake again.

"Mayday, mayday!"

"I need to reload!"

Karma runs over to the monster and chucks a grenade into it before jumping down. The machine deactivated, and then it explodes behind them. "Oh come on I showed you guys last week; you have to take it to a particular solution." Karma smiles, lifting up another explosive with the solution on it.

Back at the campus, Koro-sensei is calmly looking outside from the faculty room. "In addition to their regular classes, I had the students tutor each other their best subjects. One of the best way to deepen your own understanding is to teach someone else. It also fosters a strong sense of teamwork. The effect on Karma was extraordinary

It patched the gaps in his knowledge and polished him to a brilliant shine." He said.

"Sure, but that Asano kid is a real-overachiever, too," Bitch-sensei said worriedly.

"Correct. And in fact, grooming A-class for the exam is no longer his concern the boy focused all his attention towards sharpening his own blade, perfectly valid use of one's strength. So to be perfectly honest, not even I'm sure which method is better."

The final question reveals itself, looming over them. "Relax, just do your best. You're guaranteed to get at least partial credit." Karma smirks, walking over facing Asano standing off against him. "Don't worry leave getting the full credit to me."

Now, then... How shall I finish him off?

*************

(F/n) looking at the stats: is it just me or my screen-time has been significantly reduced.
