Red Eyed Wolf (Assassination Classroom fanfic)

Chapter 40: Baseball Exhibition Part 1

Days pass by and the rainy season is finally over and the warmer days have finally set in. Ember and I walked with Karma, Sugino, and Nagisa. Karma held my hand and Sugino has his hands folded on the back on his head.

"This's a real season for the outdoors. Why don't we go play in the open air somewhere?" Sugino asked.

"Sure. What do you wanna do?" Nagisa asked.

"How about we go fishing?" Karma said.

"Sounds fun. Ember and I have never been fishing before." I said.

"Ooh, nice. What can we catch at this time of year?" Nagisa said.

"Summertime's the best season to fish for Yankees. They'll be lired in by the prospect of extorting our bait, Nagisa, but we'll take their money instead." Karma said.

"Is there really such a thing as a Yankee season?" Nagisa asked as I sweatdropped.

I looked at my sister. She looked at me.

"Hey. Don't look at me. He's you're boyfriend." Ember said putting her hands up in defense.

We heard the crack of a ball hitting a bat and looked to see the Kunugigaoka Junior High Baseball club team practicing. A couple of girls yelled the team captains name. Shindō Kazutaka.

Sugino walked closer to the fence and we just watched . Karma held my hand and Ember stood on the other side of me. Shindō glanced over at Sugino.

"Hey! If it isn't Sugino! Been a while, hasn't it?!" Shindō said.

"Yeah." Sugino said.

The other baseball players started acting as if Sugino was their old pale they had missed. But I was just waiting for everything to turn. I would've folded my arms but didn't because Karma still had ahold of my hand. Sugino looked down when the baseball players started saying he was lucky for being in E-Class because we get to fool around but they have to study and all that other stuff. If they only knew.

"Drop it. You'll make him feel bad. He isn't one who's been chosen so there's no need to balance academics with club activities." Shindō said.

"Hmm. Amazing. You act if you lot were the chosen ones." Karma said as we neared the fence.

Karma let go of my hand and put it in his pocket and I folded my arms over my chest.

"Yup. That's right." Shindō said with a smile.

"Humph. Whatever." Everyone looked at me.

I didn't say anything else. The baseball players just stared at me for a few seconds then smiled.

"I know you. You're his girlfriend." Shindō said motioning to Karma.

"No kidding." I said in a duh tone.

"And you're Asano's girlfriend." Shindō said looking at Ember.

"I'm not his girlfriend." Ember said angrily.

"Yeah. Sure." Shindō turned his attention back to the guys. "Don't like it? Then this year, at next weeks ball game, we'll teach you." Shindō said.

"What? How to be a jacka*s?" I asked.

Ember tried not to laugh but failed to do so. She buried her face in her hands which rested on my shoulder.

"The huge gap that's opened between the chosen ones, who stand above mankind, and everyone else." Shindō said.

"The inter-class ball game tournament...hm. Cultivating healthy minds and bodies through sports. How splendid! Still, why isn't Class E listed on the tournament table?" Korosensei asked showing us the paper.

"Class E's not allowed to enter the main tournament. Having an odd number of teams is the perfect excuse. Instead, we' ve gotta participate in an exhibition at the end." Mimura said.

"Exhibition?" Korosensei asked.

"Basically, it's a show. With the entire student body watching. We're forced to battle against selected members of the baseball club, for the boys, and the basketball club, for the girls. It's a tournament geared toward the average student, so not everyone in the clubs can participate in the main battles. That's why this was established as a place where everyone can show their strength. The classes who lost in the tournament can end on a high note, watching Class E being beaten so badly, and it also serves as a warning of the embarrassment you'll experience if you land in Class E." Mimura explained.

"I see. So this is a usual occurrence?" Korosensei asked.

"Yup." Kataoka said. "But don't worry, Korosensei. We've gotten stronger through our assassination attempts. So we'll have a good match and knock the entire student body down a peg. Right, everyone?"

"Yeah!" The girls yelled.

I smiled. Ritsu said something but I completely missed what she said. Then Kataoka showed us her plan. Terasaka, Muramatsu, and Yoshida. Saying something about not wanting to go through the embarrassment again. Ember ran to the door.

"Chickens!" She yelled then ran back to us so Kataoka could finish explaining her plan.

We all stared at my identical sister.

"What?" She asked.

Kataoka went back to explaining her plan. The guys began talking as we whispered amongst ourselves.

"Maaan, that was close." Nakamura said as we headed towards the baseball game.

The basketball game and we lost. But we were so close to winning though. Oh well.

"There were a few times where we could've won. Next time, we'll get our revenge." Kataoka said.

Then everyone looked at Ember and me.

"And you kmow it's called basketball not murder your opponent ball." Nakamura said.

"Sorry. I guess we got carried away." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Yeah." Ember said doing the same.

We all continued towards the baseball game.

"Sorry. I ended up dragging everyone down." Kayano said.

"That's no true at all, Kayano." Kataoka said.

"They had big jiggly boobs." Kayano said.

I raised my eyebrow. What is with this girl?

"What is it with you and your hatred for big boobs?" Ember asked.

We arrived at the baseball game to see the guys were winning against the baseball club.

Looks like Korosensei's bunting idea is working. But then again I didn't have a doubt it wouldn't.

I watched as the Board Chairman walked out onto the field towards the baseball club.

Not good.

He's always bad news. The Board Chairman said something then left the field.

"After giving a few intructions, the Board Chairman has left the feild! Lets see how they're...wh-what's this?! The entirety of the team has gathered in te infield! I've never seen such an extreme preemptive defense strategy!" The announcer said.

Maehara bunted but got one out. Poor guy. I looked for my sister only to find her gone. Where did she go? I turned and looked for my sister. I was at the back of the girl group so I knew she didn't get closer to the fence. Another scent caught my nose, a familiar scent. He must have took her aside to speak with her. And I had a feeling I knew about what.
