Midterms. What kind of psychotic junior high school had fifteen page midterms? Well, Kunigigaoka was one of them. Not only did it consist of high school level questions, it would rank every student based on their score. Not like you expected anything less from Principal Asano.
"What if I just skip the midterms?" you wondered, your chin buried in one hand as you remained unfocused on the studying material.
All of a sudden, Korosensei appeared beside you, his face purple. "That would be very bad, L/N! You could get suspended! Now, how about I explain how to graph a hyperbola......."
As you listened to one of Korosensei's images ramble on about trigonometry and sentence structures, you sighed. The midterms were tomorrow, and you would have to spend four hours on a multiple choice exam.
"Be positive, L/N. The Kyoto overnight trip is soon, and if you get into the top 50, I'll assign your bus seat next to Karma's!" Korosensei tried to encourage.
"Really?" you exclaimed, turning to face Korosensei.
At least you had motivation to study.

To your excitement, the midterms were finally over, and the results were coming out today. The test didn't seem too hard compared to the previous years. Although there were some topics not covered by Korosensei yet, you had studied them at home in preparation for your bus seat with Karma.
However, when your teacher entered the room, his expression was unusually sullen, which contrasted against the normally gleaming smile painted across his face. Well, as sullen as his expression could be, considering he had a permanent smile on his normal expression. As he passed out the scores, your classmates grew silent, eyes full of disappointment.
Was Korosensei really going to leave E-Class? Despite the usual banter between your classmates and him, he held an exceptionally close relationship with everyone. Although you didn't score badly, your expression dropped as you noticed everyone else's scores.
"....This is entirely my fault. I can't even bear to face you guys after this," Korosensei muttered glumly.
Suddenly, a knife was thrown towards the blackboard, causing your teacher to yelp in surprise. Karma smirked, standing up as he walked towards the front of the classroom.
"You sure? If you don't face us, you won't be able to see us come kill you," the red-headed boy challenged, holding his test papers up.
"Karma! I'm going into my emo phase right now, and-," Korosensei was interrupted as he saw the scores recorded on the boy's midterm papers.
"Making it a little harder won't stop me."
"You're smart too?" you exclaimed, catching the attention of Karma. "Dream guy for real."
"You can't possibly be trying to run away just from a few measly scores, teach. What, are you scared that we'll kill you?" Karma taunted, waving his test papers in Korosensei's face.
"....I am not trying to run away!" Korosensei fumed, turning bright red as he waved his arms around.
"Oh? Then what?"
Korosensei held up a tentacle. "We'll pay them back two-fold on the final exams!"
"Are you gonna remember your side of the deal?" you coughed, signaling towards Karma.

As the end of seventh period neared, there was a knock on the wooden classroom door. Isogai stood up to open it, revealing a strawberry-blond boy with striking purple eyes outside Class 3E. Karma narrowed his eyes and turned to you.
Korosensei yelped in surprise, changing to his human disguise in the blink of the eye. "W-Welcome...." your teacher imitated in a deep voice, "What brings you here today?"
"I'm the student council president, Asano Gakushuu," the intimidating boy greeted before looking around at the students currently seated. "....Y/N."
"Crap, I forgot about him," you muttered towards Karma, who scoffed a bit.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. As you gathered your belongings and placed them in your bag, Gakushu stared at you from the other side of the classroom. Once everyone else left, including your teacher, he began to speak.
"So," he stated coldly, "what happened to your 'prestigious academy on the other side of the world'?"
"Um...so you see..." you grinned sheepishly, "Your father probably hates me."
"Typical."
"And he caught me eating in class again and sent me to E-Class."
He sighed. "Just because I give you food doesn't mean you have to eat them right away, you know."
"Well, I was hungry. Plus, he should have sent me to B-Class first, or something. I think he's getting early symptoms of dementia and forgetting anything besides A-Class and E-Class exists," you rambled.
"For once, I agree."
"See! Your dad's just a hater. There are no rules about not eating in class," you continued.
"Actually, there are, but I won't mention it," the boy sighed. "Either way, just try to get back into A-Class, okay? It's.....weird without you there."
"Really? I thought it would be more quiet."
"You're not wrong about that one."
The two of you continued chatting, walking out of the E-Class building and down the rocky mountain. "You really climbed all the way up here?"
"It wasn't that hard," he stated.
"No need to brag," you huffed, legs aching as the two of you finally reached the bottom of the mountain. The weather was unusually hot today, and the strenuous exercise wasn't helping.
"I'll walk you home."

"L/N! Want to join our group fo-"
"Yes," you interrupted Kayano, looking up expectingly. "Karma's in your group, right?"
"Wow. What am I, chopped liver?" Nagisa deadpanned.
"Okay! Well, we need one more person, so we should get a girl, right?" Kayano exclaimed, excited for the upcoming overnight trip to Okinawa.
"Yep. And I found the perfect person!" Sugino grinned, gesturing towards Kanzaki.
"Okay!"
"Are we sure about inviting Karma? What if he gets into a fight or something?" Sugino whispered to Nagisa.
"I hope he does. That would be hot," you commented.
"I hope I do too," Karma grinned, canine teeth showing as he appeared behind the five of you.
"Holy- When did you get here?" you yelped, surprised at the sudden appearance.
"Well, let's start our itinerary!" Kayano declared.
