The next day, you were sitting next to Nagisa in gym, joking along with the class about your new teacher, Takaoka-sensei. Normally you'd be next to Karma, but he decided to skip today.

"Now then," Takaoka pulled out a piece of paper, "with your new training regimen comes a new schedule!"

Everyone was shocked. All periods turned into gym?! Training until 10 p.m.?!

"We have a short amount of time together, so I'm maximizing your training hours to boost your skills quicker!" Takaoka lifted a finger. "Now let's get to work-"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Maehara cut him off. "This is impossible! With so little time for learning, our grades will plummet! And what about free time? We can't do this!" Takaoka put a hand on Maehara's head with a smile and instantly kneed him in the stomach. He coughed out his spit.

"'We can't,' nothing." Takaoka gripped his hair. "You will." Then he dropped Maehara to the ground.

"It's like I said: we're a family, and I'm the dad," Takaoka explained. "Show me a family that doesn't do as the dad says." Your eyes widened.

"If you want to sit out, sit out. You witches and wizards are weak even with magic, then you'll be in a fight and get hurt. But I don't want to see that." He raised his hands. "After all, you're my precious family. A father doesn't want to lose even a single one of his children." He put his arms around Mimura and Kanzaki's heads.

Kanzaki stood up politely. "I, um... I don't want to." She kindly smiled. "I'd rather have Karasuma-sensei's class. Then Kanzaki was slapped in the face and she landed on the ground.

"Kanzaki-san!" Sugino and Nagisa ran over to Kanzaki and you stood in front of them, blocking Takoaka off.

"Please, Takaoka-sensei, don't use violence in this class." You firmly stated. "We could come to an agreement together. The class is right, we don't have all the time to focus on training. Plus, students are expected to be in bed by 10 p.m."

"L/n Haru-kun right?" Takaoka placed a hand on your right shoulder. You tensed up. "I know about your status in this part of the world, and it would be a shame for me to hurt you. But I won't hesitate too, ok?" His grip on your shoulder tightened.

"The only answer here is 'yes.'" He finally let go of your shoulder and swung his arm in a circle. "If that's a problem, we can talk it out with our fists. That's one of your old dad's specialties."

You held your shoulder and stumbled away from him. Nagisa stood up and help you stay balanced.

"Takaoka stop!" You heard Karasuma saw him run to Kanzaki. He proceeded to ask if both she and Maehara were ok. Fortunately, they weren't hurt badly.

"I'm going easy on them, Karasuma." Takaoka smiled. "After all, they're my family."

You saw Korosensei put a hand on Takaoka's back. "No, they're not your family. They're my students." His face was dark and you could see sparks of magic shooting out of the wand on his other hand.

"Just what have you been up to while my back was turned?"

"Got a problem?" Takaoka shoved Korosensei's hand away. "P.E. is my class to run." Takaoka started explaining his views and methods of teaching. "Just because your views on education differ, is that any reason to attack a man who never did you any harm?"

Korosensei's wand slowly stopped shooting out energy, but his face was still pure of bloodlust.

The first lesson in class was not 10, not 20, but 300 squats. Kurahashi was the first to drop out. She whispered Karasuma's name in a desperate plea for help. Takaoka heard that and went over to her and cracked his knuckles.
