Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

Welcome Ritsu!

The pair opened the door, their eyes both noticing the same thing simultaneously.

Somehow, the A.I.F.A had become larger in size, as if someone had come in and tampered with it.

The screen immediately switched on, displaying a full body view of the girl, dressed in their school uniform, twirling around in a forest setting.

"Good Morning! I hope we have a wonderful day today!" she beamed, smiling as if she didn't have a care in the world.

W-what... the... HELL?

~~~~~~

"I see to it that I should add a few new adjustments to your new classmate," Koro-sensei explained once the whole class was sat in their seats.

"Don't worry though, I didn't touch any of the data used to kill me."

He gestured to the newly improved machine as the virtual student displayed her selection of machine guns. However, it was rather unsettling due to the innocence of her smile that was stretched out on her face.

"You really are a great teacher Koro-sensei," the pink haired student thanked, spinning around in her virtual field setting.

"Don't be fooled, she's still a machine after all, there's no way she can really feel things," Terasaka snapped, grabbing the attention of the virtual girl.

"Ah, I understand, my actions up till now have been awful," she whimpered, tears brimming in her eyes, "I'm so sorry."

The once sunny 2D background displayed on the screen quickly turned into a full-on downpour as the girl began to weep.

"Wow, well done Terasaka, feel good about making a girl cry? Katsuna defended, making the boy grimace his teeth before turning the other way in a huff.

"I'll try my best to work with you all, please forgive me for my recent actions," the virtual girl bowed, the background now displaying a bit of sun as it shone through the darkened clouds.

"You heard her," Koro-sensei grinned, addressing the rest of the class, "She's trying her hardest to work as a team so be kind."

"I say we welcome her to the class," Isogai cheered, gaining the approval of the rest of his peers.

The class rep that had sort of effect on people.

"I agree," Kataoka hummed, giving her new classmate a thumbs up, "Though I think we should give her a name."

"Yeah, Autonomously Intelligent Fixed Artillery just seems way too long and formal," Fuwa commented, tapping her chin as she thought.

"What's Autonomous in Japanese?" Hayami questioned, joining in on the conversation.

"Isn't it Jiristu?" Katsuna answered, "Wait, how about Ritsu?"

"Yeah!" Fuwa chortled, "Ritsu, it's adorable!"

"Ritsu hmm," the virtual student mumbled before a bright smile surfaced on her lips, "I love it, thank you!"

The rest of the students grouped around their new classmate, introducing themselves and sharing common interests.

"Looks like she will fit in huh," Katsuna exhaled, side eyeing the transfer student as she settled her head down on her desk.

I guess... I'm a little jealous.

It'd been a couple weeks since Ritsu had been introduced and accepted in Class 3-E. The class was outdoors, practicing their hand to hand combat skills against their each other. All the students had improved drastically since beginning their training, with now most pupils being able to land a hit on Karasuma-sensei himself.
