If you're wondering if Christmas has passed already then yes, Karma's bday has been skipped, please don't kill me-

Today's Terasaka's birthday and you know who else has their birthday today? Meee, your girl's sixteen

As frightening as it sounded, the deadline for Koro sensei's assassination was approaching swiftly and they just had 32 days left. Well, at least 32 days more to think of how they could save him. Nagisa hoped the data they had with them and the strength of their class would suffice. For now, Korosensei was a concern for the back of their minds, and their future took precedence.

The group before them went by chattering away loudly about what their futures could be and what high schools they would enroll in. The snow fell in an almost weightless shower, light dots floating in the air and tickling his uncovered nose. Nagisa breathed out a white puff of air as he ambled along with his group.

The mention of the future made Nagisa wince and remember how unprepared he was in comparison to everyone. Assassination was no good- he'd already crossed that out of his mind. If not assassination, then what could he ever be?

He sighed at his own hopelessness before looking towards Karma and asking, "So, Karma, what are your sights on?"

"I figure I'll just stay in Kunugigaoko." He answered and the whole group gasped, eyes going wide.

That did sound surprising. For someone like Karma who got bored by most things pretty quickly, staying another 3 years in the same school sounded like an impossible feat.

Sugino reacted quickly, "Wait, you're gonna subject yourself to the entrance exam all over again?"

Kayano followed, "Wow, seems kinda low profile. With your grades you could probably get into any school you want."

"Put yourselves in the shoes of the kids in the Main Campus. The guy they thought was exiled is suddenly back, looming heads and shoulders above them all." He stuck his tongue out, expression purely mischievous, "What could be sweeter than sailing by an ocean of humiliated faces for 3 whole years?"

That... "That's a winning personality you've got there," he got out with a slight slanted smile.

"Besides," he raised his chin towards the sky, a glint in his eyes that screamed of the ambitions he'd hid away. "there are tons of decent schools out there if all you care about is your transcripts, but do any of them boast an arch nemesis worthy of me? I'm inclined to say no."

"Have fun while you can." His expression glassed over suddenly as if he was talking to someone else, "All I want out of life right now is a good academic battle, or three."

At least someone was self assured. Most of his friends seemed to be in the same state of mind, silently agreeing with his ambitions. No one looked serious just then but Nagisa was observant enough to not let the small twitches and movements go by unnoticed. Everyone was thinking of their future weren't they?

"That's so you." Nagisa said before he could get lost in his own thoughts.

Karma turned to him with a tiny smile, "And? What's your highschool of choice, Nagisa? You picked one?"
