But as they neared their goal , a shadow emerged from behind them . Silent as a phantom , Nagisa appeared , his azure eyes gleaming like a predator's . In one hand , he gripped a knife coated in blue paint ; in the other , a gun ready to fire .

Before the red team could react , Nagisa moved with unparalleled speed . In a series of quick , calculated strikes , he eliminated all four of them in rapid succession . His knife left streaks of blue on each of their vests as they crumpled to the ground in disbelief .

Their shocked cries echoed through the forest . Nakamura , lying flat on her back , twisted her head to look at Nagisa , who now stood towering over them . Her voice shook with disbelief as she stammered , " A...A back attack at point-blank range ? " She clenched her teeth , frustration boiling over as she continued , " It came so suddenly... And out of nowhere ! There wasn't anyone there until now ! "

Karma's mercury eyes remained locked on the aftermath of Nagisa's ambush , his sharp mind piecing together the puzzle as realization dawned on him . His voice was low , almost inaudible as he muttered to himself , " I get it... So he was blending in with Mr. Karasuma ? The only one to use Self-Defense Force camo-and he waited for his prey at the perfect sniping point ! "

The memory clicked into place in Karma's mind . Before Nagisa had launched his surprise attack on the red team , he had been hiding in plain sight-standing behind Mr. Karasuma . The teacher , with his typical composed demeanor , had pretended not to notice Nagisa blending seamlessly with his camouflage . Nagisa had waited patiently , concealed behind the instructor , before making his calculated move .

Karma's usual smirk faded as his expression became blank , his piercing mercury eyes locked on Nagisa . There was no sign of amusement or mockery-only sharp focus and an air of deadly seriousness .

However , in the undergrowth behind him , Maehara from the blue team had spotted his chance . Hiding behind rocks and bushes , Maehara's grin stretched wide with triumph . " Gotcha ! " , he whispered under his breath .

Seeing Karma so focused on Nagisa and seemingly unaware of his surroundings , Maehara adjusted his grip on his anti-Sensei knife , its edge coated with bright blue paint . With a burst of energy , Maehara leaped from his hiding spot , his knife aimed squarely at Karma's back .

But Karma , without even turning his head , swung his red-painted anti-Sensei knife in a precise arc . The blade sliced through the air with terrifying speed and accuracy , landing cleanly across Maehara's forehead .

Maehara froze mid-attack , his eyes wide with shock as realization struck him . His breath hitched and his grip on his knife weakened as the blue liquid marked his defeat . Stumbling back , Maehara fell to the ground , utterly speechless at Karma's reflexes and foresight .

Karma still facing Nagisa , hadn't even glanced at Maehara . His focus remained razor-sharp on his final opponent . His voice , calm and steady, carried through the tense silence . " That's why I get so antsy... because he pulls stunts like that "
