As it does every fall, the time for the school festival arrives. Every class has to come up with an activity or display and basically compete to make the most money.

"The main campus is sure getting hyped about this year's festival. They probably figure we'll be up to something, even if we can't win." Isogai says, he and Kataoka at the front of the class with the list of ideas we came up with plastered on the blackboard behind them.

"I hear that Asano actually signed an endorsement contract with a restaurant." Sugino pipes up.

"I wouldn't put it past him." Nakamura sighs, resting her head on her fist.

"We'll just have to go for the win." Korosensei says, holding up a tentacle. "This match will likely hinge on a compilation of everything but assassination and studying.

"I really don't want to lose to the A Class... but what can we do?" Sugino mutters.

"Asano's right. The key is to make people feel they're getting a good deal. If you can use a tight budget to make something of greater value, the customers will come." Korosensei instructs is.

"Well, yeah, but..." Maehara trails off.

"But how?" I finish for him.

"The answers are all around you!" Korosensei exclaims as we all hum in confusion. "The value of the E Class here lies in this," he says, pulling out a branch with acorns before continuing. "this, this, and this!" He says until there are roots, fish, mushrooms, and various other wild ingredients surrounding him in addition to the acorns. "These ingredients are like you: hidden in the mountains where no one notices their power!"

"So we attack our customers with hidden weapons." Terasaka says simply. "Makes for a pretty assassin-y restaurant!"

"Now, sell these blades like you're going in for the kill!" Korosensei says.

By the day of the festival, we are ready. We had split into groups based on our specialties, or for those like me, whatever role needed more people. That said, I end up as a waitress. At least I don't have to do what Yada's doing. The ponytailed girl is stationed at the very bottom of the hill, in charge of using tactics from Ms.Bitch to direct customers our way. A few others had special positions, as well. Itona is on recon with his drone and Hazama, Sugaya, Mimura, and Okajima helped with the poster, menu, and website beforehand. Everyone else is split between three main jobs: waiting on customers, cooking, and gathering ingredients.

I stand next to the others in my group, waiting for more customers. Sugino, Kanzaki, Okuda, Karma, Kayano, and Nagisa are all pretty close, so I feel a little out of place. Not that there's anything wrong with them, of course. A minute later we spot a group of five boys: high schoolers.

"Huh. Nice place ya got here." The one in front says as they approach us.

"Hey!" Sugino suddenly exclaims, his eyes wide. It's then that I notice the rest of them are also staring down the new arrivals.

"Am I missing something here?" I whisper to Nagisa.

"Kinda..." He answers sheepishly.

"It's the high-school guys from our class trip!" Sugino yells. Class trip? I don't remember any high schoolers... Oh, wait! They must be the guys that kidnapped Kanzaki and Kayano! I suddenly feel nervous. "What are you doing here?!" Sugino says accusingly.
