Nagisa and Kayano had invited me to go to the restaurant that Isogai works at with them over the weekend, but I declined in favor of catching up on some reading and studying. However, a while later Kayano informed me that our class had gotten into another bet with class A, this time in the form of a pole-toppling match. Because having a job is technically against school guidelines, if our class wins, Isogai can keep his job, but he has to quit if we lose. I wish I could help more. The pole-toppling event is only for the boys. I hope they win. Isogai is one of the three, or maybe a few more, guys in he class that are okay. Those boys being Karma, Nagisa, and Isogai. Karma informed me about the boys meeting to discuss the event and how Isogai tried to keep everyone out of it but in the end they all came up with a plan. I hope this goes well.

On the day of the sporting events, most of us didn't do too well. Of course, there were a few exceptions. Those being Kimura in the races, Hara in the contest for who could eat a bun fastest without using their hands, and Kayano in an obstacle course due to her small size. Korosensei was giving some of the boys, mainly Isogai, a speech before the pole-toppling to hype them up.

"Next up we have an exhibition match. E class must be feeling lucky folks, because they've challenged A class to a battle. Something tells me Kunugigaoka's elite will make them live to regret it." The announcer says. E class and A class line up, parallel to each other, the boys from my class all wearing white headbands while A class is wearing red head protectors. Of course they would take more precautions for the 'more important' class. A class also has four, very buff looking foreign exchange students that don't exactly look like junior high kids. They look too old for that, even if they are third years like us.

"In the spirit of culture diversity, the spirit of this exhibition match will star our foreign exchange students. All of them." The announcer says. A class crowds around their poll, Asano climbing to take the position at the top with a few others, such as the foreigners, on offense. My class all surround the poll with Isogai at the top. A class starts muttering in confusion since no one from E class is in any sort of offensive position. This formation kind of reminds me of Korosensei's absolute defense form.

"Okay... Apparently E class's strategy is to go all in on defense. Are they cowed by the gap in skill? Whatever they're thinking, let the games begin!" The announcer shouts.

"Offensive line, go line left." Asano orders.

"Roger that." One of the exchange students answers, I think it is the American one. Then their first line of offense charges towards my classmates. As the A class students charge, Yoshida and Muramatsu break away from the defense and run towards them, both of them colliding with the American exchange student who easily overthrows both of them and launches them off the field and onto the surrounding track, rolling right to the edge by the fence.

"Two men down. And not just down, flung to the bleachers." The announcer says. The girls in my class gasp in concern.

"Sir, this is already a disaster! It doesn't matter how tight the defense is if all they do is get picked off." Kayano says to Korosensei. That's true, but I know they have a plan. Karma didn't tell me all the specific details, but he assured me that they weren't as helpless as they would initially look. I'll just have to believe in him and the others until I see it. It's still pretty nerve-wracking to watch though. The American starts walking alarmingly close to our pole, panicked looks on most of my classmates faces.
