Shiniko was about to head home, but as she walked past the school gates someone tried to get her attention.

"Hey Shiniko, wanna hang out?"

Shiniko couldn't hear a thing due to her music. The person who tried to get her attention placed a hand on her shoulder. Shiniko took one of her earbuds out as she turned around to face him or her.

"Oh, hey guys, what's up?" She asked.

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to hang out with us today," Her brother, Asano invited.

"Sure," Shiniko agreed and the group continued walking.

They were planning to go to a near by café, which was actually one of Shiniko's favourite places; Kunugi-Kaze.

On their way there, they were all talking and laughing. Occasionally, Ren would try one of his cheesy pickup lines on Shiniko for fun.

Shiniko was the first to enter the café, the others were taking their sweet time and she was getting hungry. She saw her friends at a near by table and joined them, as well as ordering a mocha latte to go while Isogai was at their table.

As Isogai was preparing her drink, Asano's group came in.

"Hello, welcome," Isogai welcomed before realizing who it was.

"Looks like the rumors about a student working here are true after all," Teppei announced.

"So that's why they came here," Shiniko thought as they continued talking.

She stood up and walked over to them. "How 'bout we take this outside, now." She said sternly and gave them a slight death glare.

Isogai gave her the mocha latte as everyone headed out of the café.

"The last time you were caught holding down a job, they punted you down to E Class without a second thought. Such a shame, have you done no soul-searching since then?" Asano questioned.

Shiniko took a sip of her latte, "Give him a break. He's dirt poor, and needs the money,"

"Asano, I'm begging you. Keep this on the down low. It's only for the month, I do need the money, please," Isogai pleaded.

"I don't know," Asano held his chin with his index finger and thumb and held onto his elbow. "Well perhaps we could be gentlemanly about all this," He stayed quiet thinking about something.

Everyone was silent.

"Very well then, I'll keep your dirty little secret. On condition, that you show me your fighting spirit," Asano compromised.

"My what?" Questioned Isogai.

"Your fighting spirit. At our school, we respect those who can stand their own ground in school and life. If you have enough fighting spirit, violations of the school conduct can be forgiven and punishments, suspentions or expulsions won't be necessary," Shiniko explained.

"Precisely, and to show that fighting spirit, you must beat us in pole toppling during the Sports Festival," Asano challenged.

The next day after school, the guys stayed behind to discuss their plans.

From what Shiniko heard, Isogai's brilliant  idea was if he did get expelled he would try and assassinate Koro-sensei off campus. The guys threw crumpled up papers, erasers and other small projectile objects at him. Someone even called him a "cow-licked bastard".

On the day of the festival, Koro-sensei was in a green cloak hiding himself while taking bazillion photos of the students like a proud parent. Shiniko didn't participate in the events, so she watched everyone from the broadcast booth. Even though the students there didn't appreciate her presence. Except, Teppei, he was chill about it.

She was very impressed with what some of her classmates can do. Take Hara for example, she was able to swallow a whole bun without water or chewing it.

When it was time for pole toppling, there were four foreign men who were in line with A Class. Shiniko of course knew who they were, since Asano introduced them to her a while back.

The two teams got into position. A Class had a well built offence team, but E Class on the other hand were all on the defensive side.

Once the shot was fired, indicating the match has begun, Shiniko took out a pint of ice cream to enjoy while watching the game.

(Words like this  are spoken in English)

"Offense team, Plan F! " Asano ordered.

The offense team charged off, Yoshida and Muramatsu dashed off to offense, but only to be butted off to the stands by the foreigner with blonde hair, Kevin.

"Why don't you fight instead of defending like a bunch of turtles? " Kevin asked. "Hmph. But you don't even understand me, do you."

"It's all right, man," Karma started. "Why don't you attack instead of chatting away? "

"Hmph. Bring it on! "

The offence team charged at E Class's pole once more. When they were close enough, the outer defence team jumped into the air and landed on their opponent, followed by the others that used the pole to pin them down.

Asano sent out his other two offence teams, leaving a gap in the middle. Isogai took the chance and had his offence team charge through.

Asano's offence teams was a fake out. The offence teams turned back running to surround Isogai's team.

Before they were totally surrounded, their team took off and ran to the area where the students of class 3-D sat and invaded the area.

While the chaos was happening, the two who got thrown to the stands were able to get a hold of Asano's pole.

"We're done running, E Class go sonic!" Isogai shouted and his team started to run towards Asano's pole and jumped on.

Without a second thought, Asano flung off his helmet and grabbed Yoshida's wrist, flipping him off the pole. He used the pole to his advantage and used it to help him keep E Class's team down.

None of them could get a finger on him.

Soon enough, Isogai got kicked off, face planting into the ground. As he got up, he kneeled down on one knee as his remaining defense team jumped off his back like a spring board, they all managed to get a hold on Asano's hoodie.

While everyone was distracted, Itona ran towards Isogai and he launched Itona into the air. Itona pounced onto Asano's pole and jumped back into the air. As it was falling over, he plunged down and grabbed onto the top of the pole, using his body weight to make it fall over.

It was a success, and E Class won the game.

As the things were being put away, Asano and his foreigner pals reported to the principal's office. Shiniko sneaked in without them knowing and hid in one of the dark corners.

"In short, you got owned. Isogai used your strategy against you and ensured victory with a secret weapon. When it came to the info war, you'd already lost. You're not fit to be a leader." Principal Asano stated.

"Chief Director, your son is extremely capable," Kevin spoke up.

"Stop it, Kevin! " Asano tried to shut Kevin up.

"As a father, you should tell him that there's a lot he can learn from losing."

"I see... Your little opinion is quite moving, Kevin. Could you help me learn as well? " Principal Asano stood up and threw his coat on his chair. "If I were to lose, I might be able to learn from that loss. All four at once... Please."

Just like that, all four of them attacked Principal Asano, but none of them could land a hit on him, let alone a finger. Principal Asano beat them all into a bloody pulp. There was splatters of blood on the wall, floor, and desk.

Asano was on the floor leaning against the wall, terrified, while Shiniko just sat there like meh...

"Sorry... I'm sorry... I apologize..." Kevin repeated while in pain.

Principal Asano told them he defeated a black belt in Karate on his third day of practice, then he walked over to Asano.

"Say, Asano..." Principal Asano placed his hand next to the terrified boy's head. "If you lost, then why isn't the frustration eating you alive?" He asked.

Even from where Shiniko was sitting, she still felt chills up her spine. Principal Asano took a quick glance in her direction and back at the boy.

"Looks like I've been found out," She thought and quietly left and returned to his office with some cleaning supplies.

After she quickly cleaned the mess, she dragged the four foreign bodies out and used her foot to kick the bucket with the mop and sponge in it slowly out of the principal's office.

As she did that, Principal Asano and Asano watched her with a blank look on their face. Asano got up and helped her with the bucket, leaving the office.

"You didn't get hurt did you?" Shiniko asked breaking the tension.

"No, I'm fine," Asano answered.

Once the bucket, mop and sponge were clean, Asano went back to his group outside, while Shiniko was in the infirmary helping the foreigners with their injuries. After she was done, she went out as well.

She saw Isogai trying to persuade the guy with the left overs from the bread eating contest.

Overall, they all had a great day.
