Class 3-E. The worst class in Kunigigaoka Junior High School has been assigned to kill a threat to the world.
"I'm gonna crush them"
That's what he said, and that's what will happen.
...
Then, the chairman's son approached Takebayashi and they talked a little before walking away.
We followed them from outside but they entered the chairman's office which we couldn't see through the window because of the curtains.
Me: Well, I guess that's the end of it.
The Next Monday Assembly Day Main Hall (Y/N) POV
Hazama: Haa?
Nakamura: Another speech from Takebayashi?
Takebayashi was standing at the podium on the stage.
Chiba: Apprehension.
Sugino: Eh?
Chiba: I can sense bloodlust from Takebayashi.
Sara: Looks like something is about to be totally destroyed.
Takebayashi started to speak.
Takebayashi: Please listen to what I would like to do. The Class E which I stayed is a gathering of weak people. Because they lack what we call academic strength, they receive discriminatory treatment from everyone in the main building.

I've said this before.
Takebayashi: I was lying.
It's fine to be weak.
Takebayashi: Because I wanted to be strong. Because I wanted to be accepted.
Even Icarus who could fly fell to his death because of his foolish act trying to challenge the sun.
Takebayashi: Even though I was the most useless among Class E, and betrayed them, on top of that. My classmates still came to see how I was doing, many times. Sensei, even for a student like me, who had no knack for studying, he tried every method possible and schemed to teach me.
It has become human nature to want to be accepted.
Takebayashi: I, who was unaccepted by family, and all of you.
And it has become human nature to push everyone and everything that is different from them.
Takebayashi:...was treated as an equal by everyone of Class E. All of you who are aiming to become distinctly strong, and be accepted by society, I believe you are right and I respect you. But for a little while longer, I'm fine with being weak. While bearing weakness, and enjoying weakness, I will return to my life of aiming for the necks of the strong.
