Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu‎ Vol 7 Chapter 1

"Shouko."

"..."

"Shouko."

"..."

"Oi, Shouko."

"...Ah...sorry. What is it, Yuuji?"

"Hand it over."

"...Eh...I think it can't be helped."

"What do you mean it can't be helped? Just hand that thing over to me."

"...But..."

"No buts. Stop saying so much and hand it over to me."

"...But...I'm not pregnant yet..."

"Hold on, we seemed to have skipped a lot of parts and into some unbelievable part!"

"?"

"Why are you revealing such a puzzled look...what in the world are you thinking I was asking you to hand over?"

"...Breast milk."

"Okay. This isn't a question about the word usage, but a communication breakdown."

"...Am I right?"

"d.a.m.n RIGHT YOUR ARE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN? HOW CAN THERE BE SUCH A RIDICULOUS ANSWER!?"

"...I'm thinking of the life I'll have with Yuuji after we get married."

"Really? A family life after getting married. I see. But even so, your answer's way too creepy!"

"...I'm discussing with Yuuji about having 10+ children."

"Hold on, I think you just added one more digit there."

"...Yuuji wanted 37, but I wanted 38, so we ended up quarreling over it."

"If we ended up with that many children, I don't think having one less will matter much anyway."

"...No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife are, there are some parts where I can't back away."

"Oh, okay okay. I'm fine with it, is that alright?"

"...Oh yeah. If it wasn't breast milk, what does Yuuji want me to hand over?"

"I feel like I'm one huge pervert after hearing such a sentence..."

"...I won't forgive anyone who treats a pervert as Yuuji."

"YOU'RE THE BIGGEST REASON! AND DIDN'T YOU JUST MIX THE ORDER WRONG!? YOU'RE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS PERVERTS!"

"...So, what is it about."

"You don't care about it and want to bring this to an end...ah, never mind. It's troublesome. What I want you to hand over is that large bag you're holding tightly onto."

"...There's nothing inside."

"Shouko, I got a wedding ring for you. Please hand your hand over to me."

"...I'm so happy."

"Sigh, really. You would hand your left hand over without hesitation when I mentioned a wedding ring? I don't know whether I should be freaked out by that or what. Okay let me see, there're...wedding magazines, hypnotism guidebooks, books on how to train dogs--HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, d.a.m.n IT!"

"...Return it to me."

"WHO'LL RETURN IT TO YOU! I'LL KEEP ALL THESE FOR MY OWN SAFETY!"

"...I'll be bothered. There are things that I agreed to hand over to Kubo."

"I see. It's bad to not follow through your agreement. Take it back."

"...And your true thoughts?"

"Though I have to take some risk, since something fun will happen to Akihisa, I'll just close my eyes to this."

"...Yuuji can really be cruel at times."

"Shouko, what are you blabbering about? I'm just thinking about that guy's happiness."

"...If that's the case, let me think of how to have a happy family together with Yuuji."

"No need to think about that. Or rather, I don't want to listen to it."

"...First, it'll be Yuuji's marriage proposal...then, the confession..."

"Oi, are you listening to me? Anyway, you mixed up the order already!"

"...Wedding ceremony...honeymoon..."

"Not good...she's not listening to me anymore. It's like she just took drugs and got some hallucination."

"...A happy couple's life...a sweet honeymoon..."

"Ah, that's right. My mom seems like she got something she wants me to hand over to you. I remember she said something about the edge of the headdress or something."

"...Worth celebrating...the first child..."

"Oi Shouko, I'm putting that in."

"...Her name's Shoyu (soy sauce)...is a girl..."

"Oi, are you listening?"

"...A beautiful house...the children running around...and a puppy with a leash..."

"Oh well, I'll just put it in then."

"...And then, a tied and locked up Yuuji..."

"THERE DEFINITELY WON'T BE ANY HAPPINESS IN THAT FAMILY! THE WORD 'HAPPINESS' DEFINITELY CAN'T BE LINKED TO ME!"

"...Ah, I'm sorry. I'm just thinking about something...what did you say?"

"If the definition of a happy family is me using a dog house as a home, then where will the puppy stay in...there're too many things I could argue about...anyway, take this."

"...Ah, thank you for returning it to me."

"Make sure to hand it over to Kubo!"

"...I'll hand it over to him after school."

"Hm, with that, Kubo and Akihisa should be rather happy."

"...Yoshii? Why?"

"That's because a lot of things will happen. Akihisa's life is going to be a lot more interesting."

Please read through the following pa.s.sage and answer the following question.

At the end of the 19th century, the Prime Minister of Germany developed the world's first Health Insurance Policy with the aim of helping the poor. At the same time, he also introduced the Socialist Legislation. The Legislation is often called the '( ) and Whip Policy'.

First Question: Please state the name of the Prime Minister at that time.

Second Question: Please fill in the blanks.

Himeji Mizuki's Answer:

'Q1: Bismarck Q2: (Candy) and Whip Policy'

Teacher's comments:

That's correct. Under the name of politics, Bismarck pushed hard for a Health Insurance Policy--in other words, it was to give 'candy' to the people. On the other hand, the socialist legislation's 'whip' suppressed the citizens. Giving them candy and the whip at the same time. There are many instances of this method being used, not just in politics.

Tsuchiya Kouta's Answer:

'Q1: Elizabeth'

Teacher's Comments

Whip--> Your Highness--> Queen Elizabeth.

Recently, I started to understand your trail of thoughts. Sensei's emotions are really complicated.

Yoshi Ahikisa's Answer:

'Q2: (Whip) and whip policy'

Teacher's Comments

That's too many whips.

In front of us, Ironman's arms are folded as he silently stares at us cla.s.s F students. Facing our homeroom teacher, our cla.s.s representative Sakamoto Yuuji says in a lecturing tone.

"Nishimura-sensei. Don't you think we need more details to satisfy our thirst for knowledge?"

Yuuji's eyes are stared deep into the other person's eyes. These words can most likely reach the ears, and even the heart.

But Ironman doesn't answer as he stares at Yuuji and waits for him to continue on.

Yuuji smiles, perhaps satisfied with his att.i.tude and says,

"Since ancient times, all the technological development had a shadow of war behind it. The development of iron wasn't meant for industrial purpose, but to create swords and armor. Horses weren't bred to be domesticated, but to be trained into war horses for soldiers to ride on. If I need to specify a few modern examples, the development of nuclear technology was meant to be created for war."

"..."

Ironman still remains silent and doesn't say anything.

"With technology developed into such a positive outcome, the darkness of humans warring with each other still remains. This may be an exaggeration, but because of the dangerous intent of 'war', technology was able to develop so rapidly, and this is a fact that can't be changed."

"..."

Ironman still doesn't say anything.

"The original technology was developed with curiosity as the driving force. Since ancient times, no matter where it is, this logic won't change."

"..."

"But if we need to have a more effective outcome to this motivation--through real examples, most of the scenarios are 'a detailed motive' of fighting, called the 'victory of war'."

"..."

"What I mean isn't that war is necessary. A lot of people will die, and we'll be killing each other--in terms of animal instincts, isn't this the biggest cardinal sin and act of stupidity that goes against what we are?"

"..."

"However, even though we know that it's stupid, as long as well can learn the lessons behind it, there will be value. This is the truth behind the saying 'a curious mind will have a detailed aim and get a good outcome' - having said so much, I suppose sensei understands what I mean."

After Yuuji said till here, Ironman, who kept silent up till now, finally responds,

"Sakamoto, I understand what you mean. Like what you said, having a sense of curiosity is unrelated to the aim, and I don't deny it. However--"

Ironman puts down the folded arms and clearly tells everyone.

"--I won't be returning those A-books to you people."

"""DAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNNN IIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!"""

Ironman's merciless words cause all the boys in cla.s.s F to weep tears as we cry out in protest.

The new term started, and a large squad of teachers that don't seem to have any blood or tears got their defensive line set up and blocked us, the people who still worked hard to get to school even while rubbing our sleepy eyes. Before we could even resist, we could only see all our personal items get confiscated, so that's why we were giving a speech to Ironman.

"WHY, NISHIMURA-SENSEI!? DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO THAT IMPa.s.sIONATE SPEECH BY YUUJI!? IF WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE SUBJECT 'HEALTH EDUCATION' AND INCREASE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF IT, IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO 'UNDERSTAND THE A-BOOKS'!!"

"Stop reading those hi-cla.s.s A-books that have no relation with studying. How old are you anyway?"

"ASKING ME HOW OLD I AM!? HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!? THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE!"

"Look carefully, isn't it clearly labelled '18 and above'!!?"

Uu...this d.a.m.ned teacher actually used such logic against us!

"PLEASE NISHIMURA-SENSEI! PLEASE RETURN THOSE BOOKS TO US!!"

"WE...WE MUST HAVE THOSE BOOKS NO MATTER WHAT!!!"

"PLEASE! PLEASE GIVE US A LIFELINE TO HEALTH EDUCATION!!"

"PLEASE, NISHIMURA-SENSEI!!"

"""PLEASE!!!"""

"QUIET! STOP USING THAT CASUAL PLEADING TONE THAT WOULD APPEAR IN HOT-BLOODED TV DRAMAS FOR ME TO RETURN THE A-BOOKS TO YOU!!"

The cla.s.s' sincere wish never reached Ironman's heart. How can there be such a cruel and heartless teacher in this world!?

"If that's the case, would you consider something, sensei?"

"What do you want, Yoshii? I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Those aren't A-books. Those are reference books for us to study health education."

"Everyone, go get ready. We're starting lesson. Self-study period is about to end as well."

We at our wits end. If this keeps up, our precious treasures will...

"d.a.m.n IT! IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE'LL GET THEM BACK WITH OUR ABILITY! WE'LL BET OUR LIVES AGAINST IRONMAN FOR OUR REFERENCE BOOKS (A-BOOKS)!!"

"WOOOOHHH!!!"

Everyone stood up and surround Ironman. We have the advantage in numbers, and even if the enemy's a superhuman freak, we can't possibly lose.

"Kuku...so you brats have guts."

But even when he's facing such a dangerous situation, Ironman doesn't look like he's about to waver.

"ALL OF YOU, BRING IT ON!!!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Facing the hated sworn enemy of ours, all the boys in our cla.s.s F clench our fists and charge at him.

"That guy's...definitely not human..."

My bad friend who was talking enthusiastically just now, Sakamoto Yuuji, muttered bitterly. He has solid physique and is used to fighting, but after he was just punched hard, he couldn't even get up even till now.

"Yeah...why is it that he could take on 47 high school guys like that..."

Before I could even summon my summoned beast, I got choked on the neck and fainted. My cla.s.smates who fell beside me either got choked or got tossed over the shoulder. And after one cross immobilization, Ironman proceeded to crush us all with all sorts of judo techniques. And even against so many people, he was able to win easily even after controlling his force such that we don't have any wounds on us. Ironman's not an ordinary person no matter how we see it! Are all people who like Ironman triathlon this amazing?

"...Those movements are already equivalent to that of a human weapon."

Another cla.s.smate of mine, Muttsulini, real name is Tsuchiya Kouta, lowered his shoulders and muttered dejectedly. Anyone can tell from his nickname that he's a guy whose driving force in this world is on ERO. The bitter loss of having his A-books confiscated, he should be more dejected than anyone else. On a side note, Muttsulini used a taser attack, but in a short moment, his weapon got taken and he ended up being tasered instead. To be able to take away the weapon from the fast Muttsulini, it's impossible to do this without being at the pinnacle of martial arts.

"I say, you guys. Why are you always united in such situations...."

Giving us a 'really, what's with you guys look' is one of the few girls in cla.s.s F, Shimada Minami. She's a girl with long slender limbs and a ponytail and a part that's a lot flatter than normal...but I'll just add the wounds on me if I say that. Better not say that. If I continue to take more guilt and pain, maybe my daily life will be badly influenced.

"United? Do we look that united?"

"Well, more than being united...I just want to say, why would the guys in cla.s.s...bring such stuff to school..."

Saying that, Minami's face start to blush a bit. She should have seen the covers of some of those books.

"Well, guys have some things that they have to do no matter what."

"What exactly was the reason that all the guys in cla.s.s would bring such a thing..."

As summer vacation ended, Muttsurini Company organized a 'Collection report festival (summer)', only to be met with an inspection. Did someone leak the news to those teachers? To actually detect our underground information network, we shouldn't underestimate those teachers' information network after all.

"But it can't be helped that they were confiscated. Well...and Akihisa-kun, I feel that it's a little too early for all of you to touch those books..."

Speaking up as well is another one of our healer girls—Himeji Mizuki-san. According to rumours amongst the 2nd years, the long, gentle hair on her, the presence she gives, and a certain part of her body seem to release anions. Also, her voice causes my dejected will to recover.

"Uu...even if you say that, I really can't accept it..."

THAT WAS MY PRIZED COLLECTION!! I WAS BARELY ABLE TO HIDE IT FROM MY SIS, AND NOW IT GOT CONFISCATED AT SCHOOL BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE...IS THERE A PLACE IN A WORLD FOR ME TO HIDE SAFELY!!?

"Spot-check? It wasn't too long ago that they had a sudden spot-check. No wonder everyone let their guard down."

Another one of cla.s.s F's opposite gender, Hideyoshi, consoled me. He has slender limbs and a soft and shiny hair, and a cute smile with that. Though he kept stressing that he's a guy, I feel that Hideyoshi should open his eyes wide and look at reality.

"It's true that it was unexpected. I got some little things confiscated by sensei, like DVDs, magazines, and my little pillow..."

"Yeah....I got a few things confiscated...like CDs, light novels, and my little pillow..."

What's going on? I seem to have heard something that an ordinary high school student normally won't bring to school.

"What the heck, so Himeji and Shimada got things confiscated. What about you, Hideyoshi?"

"Um...some props I wanted to use in drama were confiscated by him, and I actually got a handheld console game confiscated..."

Hideyoshi answered Yuuji bitterly.

Speaking of which, Hideyoshi seem to be acting in a modern drama now. Since his costumes got confiscated the last time, it's impossible to ask Ironman to return that to him.

"...I actually forgot to be cautious of spot-checks..."

Muttsurini, who's already frail-looking, curls his back, looking even smaller. If this guy actually cautiously a.n.a.lysed the situation, he should have noticed that the teachers intended to carry out a spot-check. This time, everyone seemed to have been too careless. I suppose one of the reasons why we were so careless was because we focused on the preparation of the 'Collection report festival (summer)'.

"To actually come up with a spot-check plan on the 2nd years...the teachers should have planned this in a meeting while we were still having summer vacation."

"Really, those teachers' methods are so underhanded."

And it was on the day after school opening. That's really too much. If it happened on the day itself, everyone would have some sense of cautiousness, but everyone would definitely drop their guard on the second day. It's true that the school rules indicated that 'items that aren't related to the teaching curriculum are forbidden', but this is too strict no matter what.

"Sigh. Good thing our handphones weren't confiscated. That's the only good thing, I guess..."

"But it will still be confiscated immediately if it suddenly rings in the middle of cla.s.s."

Perhaps considering that there may be a need for a sudden emergency call, the teachers didn't confiscate handphones even when finding them. But Yuuji's right. If it rings in the middle of cla.s.s, it will definitely be confiscated,

"Oh yeah, Akihisa, do you have anything else that got confiscated other than those picture alb.u.ms?"

Hideyoshi asked as he pointed at my back. I really feel regretful about that he sounded like I got other things confiscated besides those picture alb.u.ms, But facts are facts, so I can't argue back. Speaking of what Ironman confiscated...

"Well, books, CDs, games, photos (of Himeji-san, Minami and Hideyoshi in swimsuits)..."

"So not only those picture alb.u.ms got confiscated, even ordinary photos were confiscated...those teachers have stone hearts."

"Yeah...I just bought them from Muttsurini Company today, and I didn't even manage to see any of them..."

And I came here so early in the morning just to buy them. What a waste...

"Really a pity...I always looked forward to hugging this photo...and even wanted to put a picture of the person in the swimsuit on it."

"Me too. I thought that I could have a good dream tonight..."

Why would Himeji-san and Minami agree with me?

"Then what about you, Yuuji? What else did you lose?"

If I'm to continue asking Himeji-san and Minami, I feel that I will be severely depressed, so I decided to ask Yuuji.

"My MP3 player got confiscated. I just added a few new songs to it yesterday. d.a.m.n it! That infuriates me!"

Yuuji said that unhappily. I see, Yuuji's MP3 player got confiscated again. I remember something like that happened before...

"Speaking of which, Muttsurini, your camera got confiscated again, right?"

"...(Nods head)."

Muttsurini looks devastated as he nods his head. If he joins the photography club, he would definitely be allowed to carry a camera—NOT! Besides, he's always taking those kinds of pictures anyway...

"...Even the memory card with those photos got confiscated. I can't sell them for the time being."

"""EEHHHHH!!!???"""

How, how did this happen? He can't sell photos at this time? Being unable to see the greatness of these photos even when knowing that they're there, that's basically torture for me!!

"DO SOMETHING, MUTTSURINI! DON'T YOU PREPARE BACK-UPS OR SOMETHING?"

"THAT'S RIGHT, TSUCHIYA-KUN! DON'T YOU HAVE BACK-UP DATA!?"

"Should be able to find them by searching the computers, right?"

How can Muttsurini possibly make the error of not backing-up ordinary people would do? Saying that he's unable to sell them, that's definitely a lie!!

"...I do have time, but it'll be a while before I can retrieve them."

"""How, how did it end up like this..."""

On hearing his answer, Minami, Himeji-san and me inadvertently collapsed onto the floor, using our hands to support ourselves. It's true that Muttsurini has way too many photos. If he has to recover the data of all the photos, it may really take a long time. In other words, we have to wait for him to save those photos and refine them before we can finally get the finished product, and we can only wait and wither.

"Oi, did you hear that?"

"I did! Seems like he said it will be a while before he can finally sell them...I might as well die if I have to wait until I can see Himeji, Shimada and Kinos.h.i.ta in swimsuits!"

"Not just that. I heard that there were also photos of Kirishima and Kudou and other beatiful onee-sans....if I can't see those photos, I'll, I'll actually..."

Moans of agony could be heard from all over the cla.s.sroom. To us guys who aren't popular with girls, Muttsurini's photos are the only ones who can give life to us.

"Oi, Yuuji, now what? Are we doing 'that'?"

"That's right...if we just allow this abuse of power to happen, there will be even more troubles to our school life...alright, let's do this, Akihisa! Wait till those teachers, especially Ironman, leave the staff room at lunch break. We'll sneak in and get back our dreams and hopes!!"

"ALRIGHT!"

In order to get back those confiscated items, Yuuji revived.

"...I can't just let Yuuji and Akihisa fight this tough battle."

Muttsurini's rejuvenated as well. His eyes are as determined as before. As expected of Muttsurini, the nickname 'silent pervert' isn't just for show!

"Hold it, you guys!"

"It's a no-go if you forget about us!"

"Hehe, aren't we good buddies?"

"Ev, everyone..."

Before I noticed it, all the guys in cla.s.s F have already stood up.

That's right, even though our precious treasures were confiscated, we will never cry to bed. Once we s.n.a.t.c.h the possibility back, we will get back what belongs to us with courage, perseverance and teamwork! Even if there's a little hope, we will never give up!

"Well, actually, everyone, please calm down..."

At this moment, a voice stopped us. The person who stopped us from rushing to the office—

"...Himeji-san?"

—Is Himeji-san, whose hands are cupped in front of her chest.

After everyone turned to look at her, Himeji-san finally says what she feels.

"Akihisa-kun, Sakamoto-kun...I feel that this isn't right."

"What you're talking about...is it referring to sneaking into the staff room?"

"That's right."

Himeji-san nodded her head slightly. Well...even if you think that it's bad, but...

"But if we don't do this, those confiscated items won't come back. Himeji-san, you want to get back those things Ironman confiscated, right?"

We already tried whimpering to beg for them, but it was futile. If that's the case, we have no other choice but to forcefully grab our own things back with our own hands.

"As, as for that, if sensei's willing to give us back those things, I'll be really happy...but besides, we were the ones who broke the school rules in the first place..."

Saying that, Himeji-san lifted her head and looked up at me. Uu...seeing her look at me like this, I really feel that I'm doing something bad here....

"Sigh, Mizuki's right. Who asked us to break the rules first? If we won't accept our punishment and create another problem, it would be too..."

Minami agreed with Himeji-san.

"That's right, so I feel that it's bad to sneak into the staff room. And...it's sly no matter what I think."

Sly, is it...it's true that we broke the rules and got our stuff confiscated. And sneaking into the staff room to get back those stuff isn't a manly thing.

"...Yuuji, what do we do now? Himeji-san already said this. Sneaking into the staff room, it's a bit too..."

Really, my enthusiasm subsided.

"Ah...what do you mean by that. Since Himeji and Shimada already said that, we can only think of another way..."

No, not just Yuuji. I guess everyone else in cla.s.s is thinking the same, because they're all looking rather awkward.

"Akihisa-kun, Sakamoto-kun, everyone...do you understand what I mean?"

"Yeah. We understand what Himeji and Shimada meant. So it came down to that, huh?"

Trying to retract back what he just said, Yuuji declares,

"—THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR SNEAKY LITTLE TRICKS!! WE'RE GOING TO KILL IRONMAN AND GET BACK OUR ITEMS HEAD ON, ISN'T THAT RIGHT!!?"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!"

It's really not manly of us to do such sneaky stuff in front of the girls. How can we let them see us in such an embarra.s.sing manner. If we're going to do that, let's party!!

Thus, us cla.s.s F guys decided to launch a sudden battle during lunch break.

"So I say, why are you guys so simple-minded..."

After that, we sat straight and ended up kneeling on the hard floor of the detention room (without chairs too). Under Ironman's supervision, we could only finish the pile of supplementary questions obediently.

"d.a.m.n it, that's too dirty! Taking our precious and beating us up badly, now they even set an ambush of summoned beasts in the staff room...those teachers are too despicable!!"

"Yeah. They actually set an ambush against our manly head-on attack...that's not something a mature adult should have!!"

"Yoshii, Sakamoto. Both of you actually have time to talk. I'll give you a present."

""AAHH!!""

Pomp! Another book was added on us. I don't think it's possible to answer them all today...

"THAT'S TOO DESPICABLE!! YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT HUMAN, YOU BLACK GORILLA!!"

"YOU BLACK GORILLA!! YOU NEVER INTENDED TO LET US GO HOME TODAY!!"

"Speaking of which, it seems like both of you haven't handed in your holiday a.s.signments, right?"

Pomp! Another a.s.sessment book landed in front of us.

"That's interest for handing in your homework late. If you hand them in a week later, I'll add another book."

""AAARRRRGGGGGHHHH--!!!""

We can't take it anymore! This demonic teacher's just trying to wreck us mentally before killing us!!

"Yoshii and Sakamoto are both idiots...they clearly didn't value their lives when they went up against that gorilla."

"Wouldn't we be alright if we followed that gorilla obediently?"

"It's because they spent all their energy resisting that the gorilla has his eyes on them."

"Speaking of which, I just remembered. You guys haven't handed in your summer holiday a.s.signments. Well, relax, I'm impartial, so I'll let everyone pay the same amount of interest."

"""UUUBBBOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHH---!!!"""

The holiday a.s.signments that weren't handed in, the supplementary questions, and the additional questions...our homework load just increased. Forcing us to this extent, what kind of sick interests do they have!!!

"d.a.m.n you, Ironman...I'll pay you back for this!"

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, we'll wait and see!"

"...I will never forget this grudge!"

"Watch out when you walk down an empty dark street at night!"

"Watch it, I'll stick tacks in your shoes!"

"If that's the case, I'll spread the rumours that Ironman's a h.o.m.o in school..."

"And another book."

"""UUUBBBOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHH---!!!"""

The 3 girls who didn't take part in the raid are having lessons with cla.s.s E, and the 47 guys of cla.s.s F are imprisoned in the detention room. This is really too tragical. Just looking at all the cla.s.s F guys being unable to take the heat and having the few girls of hope taken from them, and the lecturer's this Ironman, our anger rose to unlimited edges.

"Really, why don't you learn...since you can spend so much energy on such useless stuff, use that exercise to spend off that excess energy. It's about time for the sports meet too."

Ironman sighed and said.

The 2nd semester just started, and the grand-scale activity--Fumitzuki Gakuen's sports meet is suddenly around the corner.

The main aim of this event is to ensure that the students who spent the long summer vacation relaxing to rejuvenate themselves. Since everyone's gotten giddy over vacation and can't concentrate during lessons, how about having a sports meet to get everyone on track--I guess that's what the school thinks, right? It's really something that that princ.i.p.al would think of."

"Okay, I still have to go back to clear up that staff room you guys messed up, so stay here and do your homework. If you dare to run...I'll show you what h.e.l.l's like."

Leaving behind this ominous threat, Ironman turns and walks out of the detention room, and even locks the room up from the outside before leaving. Don't think of leaving, he basically set up all precautions.

"Oh yeah, it's soon to be time for the sports meet. Speaking of sports meet...about that, right?"

Yuuji smirks.

"Yeah, that."

I smirk as well. Looking closely, every student around us is smirking as well. It seems that we're all thinking the same thing.

"Recalling these past 5 months...no, including the past 1 year 5 months ever since we entered this school, the teachers in this school really made us suffer."

"Like kneeling on the corridor, confined in the detention room, and even taking away our Bibles (A-books), and even throwing us into that cla.s.sroom with such lousy facilities, and even letting all the 2nd year guys get suspended. And also....we saw the princ.i.p.al naked!!"

Everyone here started letting out 'yeah, that's right' and sighs, nodding away forcefully in agreement. All the guys in this cla.s.s are comrades who've been through the same situations. Up till now, we were bullied and looked down on. There's nothing different.

"But the sports meet's about to start. At that time--we can take revenge on those teachers!!"

These words seem to burn the pa.s.sion in Yuuji's heart, as he clenches his fists and stands up with swagger.

"ALRIGHT!! LET'S PARTY!!!"

"WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT!!"

"THOSE d.a.m.nED TEACHERS...WE'LL MAKE THEM CHANGE THEIR OPINIONS ON US!!"

My cla.s.smates energetic roars can be heard from all over the place. It seems like everyone felt the same way about the teachers. Including what happened today, the teachers' violent actions made us swear deep inside that we have to take revenge.

"YOU GUYS BETTER LISTEN UP. THERE WON'T BE SUCH A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE! UP TILL NOW, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN SCHOOL, ALL THAT ANGER OF BEING HUMILIATED, BEING ABUSED. WHEN ELSE ARE WE GOING TO TAKE REVENGE!!!"

"THAT'S RIGHT! WE MUST TAKE REVENGE!!"

"USE THIS CHANCE TO TAKE REVENGE ON WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST!!"

"WE MUST USE THE CHAOTIC SITUATION OF THE SPORTS MEET TO MAKE THE TEACHERS SUFFER!!!"

That's right. Such a chance to take revenge is there for the taking. Our sworn enemies are the teachers, and we can use the sports meet as excuse to take revenge on them. It's the perfect opportunity.

"FROM NOW ON, EVERYONE'S TO GET READY! EVEN IF WE HAVE TO CRAWL ON THE FLOOR TO ENDURE THE HUMILIATION, WE HAVE TO STORE ENERGY FOR THIS GREAT CHANCE!
