IDENTITY- Assasination Classroom Fanfic (Ft. OC x Asano Gakushuu)

5: Curiosity

They started their first period right after taking photos, something not every school does, with their first subject being Math. Arina was not too fond of math from the beginning, it was complicated and required critical thinking, but at least solving problems was still better than memorizing and deciphering naming conventions; although she still loathed math nevertheless.

She was in a daze after witnessing the teaching method there, the teacher kept blabbing on while he was by the blackboard, writing and erasing. The convenience for the students was completely ignored. She was trying her best (in distress) to keep up with the speed the teacher delivered. This was a class meant to screen out those who can't keep up.

However, due to her first time studying in Japan, Arina thought that was the standard Japanese teaching method, as she had no complaint about that.

A minute felt like an hour to her. Arina longed for the class to end, as she often caught herself thinking about class 3-E, unable to take her mind off them. While out there in her class there were some inhuman people, for example, their class president, Asano Gakushuu, who felt like an hour was like a mere minute, he was so absorbed in studying that any matters were gone for good, the only exception was the constant thought of dominating his dad someday.

The eternity math period finally ended followed by a five minutes break time, Arina let out a long sigh of relief, but before she could relax, the curious girls hurried toward Arina's place and asked her various questions, while all the boys did was secretly stare at her in the distance.

"It's rumored that you're from the Orlas Union, is it true?"

"Why, yes."

"Wait...WHAT!?"

"Seriously!?"

"Why did you even come to Japan then!?"

"Girls, I'm afraid it's a complicated story."

"Come on! Tell us!"

"Oh no! Mercy me, I-I-I think I've lost my memory..."

"Huh?..."

The girls intended to interrogate further but dispersed soon after they saw Seo and Teppei come to chat with Arina.

"Hey! How's it going?"

"Oh, you see!" she cried. "I think I've underestimated people's curiosity as I've yet to imagine how'd I respond to their question! And my, the way they teach here...it's too much."

Although she was exhausted, they have never seen her back hunched before.

"See? I told you only elite students can go to this school, especially now that you're in an A-ranked class. Good luck keeping up, you stupid swine!" taunted Seo.

"And I wonder how did your classmates manage to keep up with such a low-class person like you, Seo!" said Arina wide-eyed.

Seo's temper threw out of the window at the word 'low-class' she used to refer to him. Luckily Teppei noticed and came to his side, rubbing his back.

"By the way, Teppei, what's it about Mizuno-san that you like?" asked Arina, as she struggled to hide her intrigue about how Teppei's taste in girls was rather unique, unlike the typical soft, feminine girls that guys are usually attracted to.

Teppei swiftly surveyed the class to see if Ami was anywhere around; fortunately, she had gone somewhere else, in which he let out a sigh of relief.

"I also have a youtube channel, but since I'm struggling to gain more subscribers, I really look up to her and her ability to attract viewers," he replied.
