Narrator's P.O.V.

[Y/N] sat there with her mouth agape. The octopus slithered over to the front of the classroom and put down his clipboard. 'A giant, yellow octopus is our teacher? This has to be a prank or costume or something!' She thought.

"Let's get started with the attendance! Ms. Nakamura?"

A girl with strawberry blond hair nodded. Kayano turned around and gave [Y/N] a sheepish smile, "You may want to duck." She tilted her head.

"What-?"

"Now!"

In what seemed like less than mere seconds, everyone stood up and wielded arrangements of guns. [Y/N] gasped and quickly listened to Kayano's advice. She curled up under the table and covered her ears.

She heard muffled screams followed by millions of gunshots being fired at the teacher. The shots finally stopped and [Y/N] peered out of her desk.

There he stood. Untouched by all of the bullets. [Y/N] looked at the ground and saw pink balls scattered everywhere. She picked one up and squished it. It felt rubbery between her fingers. 'These aren't actual bullets..?' She thought.

The teacher spoke, "Alright! It seems like everyone's here.." he trailed off. He lifted the paper up and saw one last name. "Oh? It appears I've missed one. Ms. [L/N] [Y/N]?"

The girl stood up and shyly waved. "Hello," she spoke. The teacher blinked and quietly mumbled, "Maybe we should've done attendance differently."

Class eventually ended and the strange octopus called over [Y/N]. She turned and gave the others a look of concern. Kayano reassured her and lightly pushed her back into the classroom. [Y/N] turned back and faced the giant octopus.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" She asked.

The octopus nodded, "Oh, please! Call me Koro-Sensei. I assume you've been informed with our current uh... 'situation'?"

'Situation? You mean to say something else goes on at this place?' [Y/N] thought. "Well-"

"Hey, Octopus, c'mon the kids are all outside and we need to empty the building."

A strange man entered the room. His features were handsome, to [Y/N] at least, and he looked rather intimidating in his black suit. "Yes, of course. [Y/N], please come with us," Koro-Sensei put a reassuring..tentacle..on her shoulder and guided her outside with the man in the suit following behind.

Nagisa, Kayano, and Karma saw their friend and all three smiled. [Y/N] ran over and greeted them. "How'd it go?" Nagisa asked.

"It was alright, but a quick question," [Y/N] turned and pointed towards the man in the black suit, "Who is he?"

"Ah, Mr. Karasuma. He's our gym teacher," Karma answered slyly.

[Y/N] stared at him confused. She looked back at the man, Mr. Karasuma, and pondered. To her he didn't look like a gym teacher, but with his attitude she guessed it suited the stereotypical gym teacher.

Mr. Karasuma took off his suit jacket and rolled up his white sleeves. 'Okay, now he has the physique of a gym teacher' she thought.

He called out to all of the students, "Today you will be learning how to defend yourself with," he took out a green knife from his back pocket, "A knife."

'Pardon?!'

"Now, obviously these are fake and cannot harm you." He bent the blade part of the knife to prove his statement. [Y/N] became relieved, but her concern didn't falter in the slightest. Mr. Karasuma continued to explain the lesson as [Y/N] just stood there incredibly confused. What was she supposed to do with all of this information? Isn't this illegal? Many thoughts constantly ran through her head, leading her to, unfortunately, missing the majority of the lesson.

Mr. Karasuma capped his hands, "Alright, now all of you practice with a partner! Keep doing it until you get it right!"

"Eh?" [Y/N] blinked in confusion. Small sweat drops lined her forehead as she looked around, desperately trying to find someone she can easily be paired up with and to ask for help. She grew anxious as she kept seeing everyone she knew being partnered with each other. Kayano with a girl she didn't recognize, Karma with Isogai, Maehara with another boy, everyone was taken.

A light hand touched her shoulder. She turned and her eyes met with light blue ones. She let out a quiet, relieved sigh, "Nagisa! I uh-Do you have a partner?" She asked shyly.

The bluenette gave her a soft smile and shook his head. "I couldn't find anyone in time so I was wondering if we could partner up?"

[Y/N] excitedly nodded, a wide smile gracing her features. Nagisa stepped back and took stance, motioning [Y/N] to approach him. Confused, the girl took small steps towards him, her facial heat rising the closer she got. Nagisa stepped out of stance, "Were you listening to Mr. Karasuma?"

[Y/N] blinked, "I may or may not have gotten distracted over these," she bent the rubber blade, "fake knives." She admitted.

Nagisa gave her a small smile and walked over to her. "May I?" He asked. [Y/N] nodded and Nagisa approached her from behind, taking hold of her arm and guiding the blade in intricate movements. He continued to explain and guide her in the ways of blade combat.

[Y/N] guided her own blade in swift movements, her body following smoothly along, "Like this?" She finished and looked at Nagisa, who gave her a bright smile.

"Yeah, that's it! You're improving a lot, [Y/N]." He complimented. [Y/N] smiled brightly and they both agreed to move on. "Make sure you hold a firm stance, you don't want your opponent to knock you over easily." He said.

[Y/N] nodded, listening to Nagisa and following diligently. "You also need to take notes on blocking with the knife!" The pair looked over at Kayano. "Maintaining your stance and being able to fight is fun and all, but you need to make sure you don't get hurt while you're trying to defend yourself."

"Well noted, Ms. Kaede," Mr. Karasuma commented. We all turned towards him as he addressed the rest of the class. [Y/N] finally realized just how tired she actually is. She also acknowledged what they were doing in P.E. She turned to Nagisa and lightly tapped his shoulder.

"Hey Nagisa?" She asked.

"Yeah? What's wrong?" He answered, glanced at [Y/N] to let her know he is paying attention to her.

"Well, I'm curious," she started, "why are we training with knives and learning blade combat? We didn't really do this back at the main campus."

Nagisa stayed quiet, and [Y/N] noticed. She lightly tugged on his sleeve, thinking she lost his attention. He turned towards her with a panicked look, trying to search for the right words to answer the girl's question. "Alright everyone, that concludes our training for today. You are all free to go home, please be safe." Mr. Karasuma dismissed everyone. The group all went inside and grabbed their bags, [Y/N] still awaiting an answer from Nagisa.

"So?" She questioned, "Why, Nagisa?"

The boy stuttered out an excuse, one that wasn't very believable. [Y/N] rolled her eyes and gave him an unamused look. Nagisa knew his story was horrible, as soon as the words left his mouth he immediately regretted it. "Really? A 'special unit'? I get the whole defense thing is important and all, but learning how to stab and possibly even kill someone?" [Y/N] questioned.

"Y-Yeah, I wouldn't believe me either," Nagisa continued with his lie.

[Y/N] eyed Nagisa for a moment, contemplating whether or not she should believe him. She supposed the idea of learning self defense, even if it was way more than that, didn't seem so bad. And allowing people their age to be able to properly defend themselves did prove to be helpful in the future, she assumed. [Y/N] sighed, "Alright then, I suppose you do have a point."

Nagisa let out a relieved sigh once [Y/N] walked out of the room. He felt awful about lying to her, but for the sake of everyone else in the world he knew the news about his octopus-like teacher had to stay hidden. "She's beginning to be more curious," Kayano trailed off.

Nagisa turned towards the girl, slightly surprised by her sudden appearance. "What do we do about that? It's obvious she doesn't know about Koro-Sensei, for some odd reason the administrators failed to inform her."

"Hm," Kayano pondered, becoming distracted by a small detail, "Hey, where's Karma?"
