Kunugigaoka was going to hold an interschool competition in a month's time. Asano had called the representative of each class for a meeting. Since Meg was busy that day Yuma invited a reluctant Karma to go with him, who only after Manami's request agreed to accompany Yuma.

"Okay then since we're all here, I'll start reading out the names of the students participating in various competitions." Announced Asano in his usual proud manner.

Asano announces the names for each and every competition and not to anyone's surprise no 3 E student was included in any program. Karma was annoyed.

"Say Asano kun, why is that there is no 3 E student in any of these competition." Questions Karma with a serious look in his face which scared the other students but Asano somehow seemed calm.

"What? Do you want our school to be embarrassed by sending those losers?" Asano chuckles wickedly.

Karma was pissed, he stood up from his seat ready to punch Asano but Yuma stops him.

"Why are you so angry? I'm speaking the truth. Your class is just going to embarrass our school and hurt it's reputation."

"Our class is actually very good, I can guarantee that whatever competition they are in, our school will not lose." Smirks Karma proudly.

Asano was irked, he didn't like that a 3 E student was answering him back.

"Oh I see it. Are you challenging me?"

"You bet." Answers Karma while crossing his arms.

"Okay then, we'll include your class in every competition and if we don't win then you're going to face consequences."

Yuma was worried, he turns to Karma who had a confident look in his face.

"Karma are you sure about all this?"

"I am sure Isogai, we just need to find the right person for each competition."

Asano clears his throat to get the attention of the meeting.

"I'm not going to make it easy on you Akabane. I'm going to make the list for the participants from your class." Smirks a proud Asano.

Karma agreed to the condition put forth on him, not realising the plan Asano had in his mind. That same evening Karasuma sensei steps inside the class with a huge scroll. He informed the students about the competition and unrolls the scroll and sticks it unto the board. The whole class gasps in horror, their names seemed to have been placed in wrong competitions, or were they?

Karma realises that Asano had tricked him. Rio was put up for a singing competition. Yuma was put in the science experiment competition. Nagisa was put in the cooking competition and Karma was put in a dancing competition. He wasn't a dancer but Karma was a fast learner and he'd be able to master dance in no time but the problem he faced was that he was put in the duet category with none other than Manami. Manami didn't know the D of Dancing, Karma turns to look at Manami who was clearly nervous, he places his hands on her shoulder and she turns to give him a smile, a weak smile but a smile enough to encourage Karma to do his best and also encourage his class to fearlessly take part in the competition.

While other students were doing great in their competitions, the same couldn't be said for karma and Manami. Manami was a totally inexperienced dancer and it seems like Asano knew that.

The song that they had chosen was Thinking out Loud by Ed Sheeran and although the two struggled in the beginning, the two jada started to slowly match up.

It was Karma's touch and softness that made Manami feel very comfortable. Their routine.

The competition day arrived and surprisingly to Asano and not surprising to Karma, class 3 E was actually helping Kunugigaoka win each and every competition. The only competition left was the duet dance competition and Asano didn't have high hopes for it seeing how nervous Manami was backstage and that's exactly what he wanted.

She paces back and forth the room when Karma walks up to her and holds her hand and calms her down. The stage guy cues the two to get ready.

The music starts and the two start their performance and in no time the audience was mesmerized by their performance. The flips were beautiful, their movement was soft and gentle. Manami felt beautiful and she forgot that the audience actually was watching the two of them. Class 3 E couldn't stop cheering. Manami's heart was beating fast but dancing with Karma made it feel like there was no one around and Manami was just dancing her heart out with Karma.

They eventually win the competition to no surprise and even the other school had cheered for the two only. Asano had a defeated look on his face but he was impressed with Manami, way too impressed with her.

After everything was over Karma refreshes himself when he hears someone walk in. It was Manami. She had a smile plastered on her face.

"It was really nice dancing with you Karma kun." She blushed while telling this to Karma.

"Well I enjoyed that dance as well and from the looks of it the audience loved it as well and I can't wait to see the look on Asano's face." Karma looked very proud at this moment.

Manami leans in closer to Karma, raises her legs and places a quick and very fast kiss on Karma's cheeks. Karma instantly turns as red as an apple. Manami hops out of the room as fast as she could. She went outside and could feel her heart beat faster than anything, Karma who was inside was frozen and blushing. He takes his hand and slowly touches his cheeks where Manami planted her lips. A smile appears on his face and he clumps his fist and punches the air as if he just won a war.
