September 16th

The next day, E-Class arrived at Phoenix Academy, and it was lively with students once again. They walked through the trees and to the building of R-Class. Once they got to the classroom, they noticed everyone was sat in silence. No one uttered a word. No one moved. They just sat there, staring at their desks with gloomy auras surrounding them.

"What's wrong with you all?" Korosensei asked, trying to get some sort of response or reaction. No one spoke once again. E-Class looked around. They noticed five empty desks. Aina's, Katsu's, Akashi's, Izayoi's and Oki's.

"Where's Katsu, Akashi, Izayoi and Oki?" Masayoshi asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked around the room.

"Katsu and Akashi at the hospital with Aina." Erina explained as she walked through to the classroom. Everyone turned their heads to the female who walked over to her desk and placed a pile of papers on the desk.

"Erina-Sensei." E-Class said.

"However, with Izayoi and Oki... They are a mystery." Erina stated as she folded her arms and placed a hand on her chin as she thought about the two females.

"You haven't heard from them?" Karasuma asked with his arms folded, making Erina come out of her thoughts and look at Karasuma. Erina shook her head when Rei began to speak.

"We're going to search for them after school..." Rei said with a low voice.

"Why is everyone so gloomy? Why don't you all give us one smile?" Korosensei asked.

"How can we?!" Ichirin exclaimed as she stood up from her seat, her chair hitting the desk behind her. "One of our friend's is in the hospital! Two have disappeared! How are we supposed to be cheerful about that?!" Ichirin exclaimed as tears began to escape her eyes and run down her cheeks. The rest of R-Class continued to look down at their desks. "If you didn't come here, this wouldn't have happened!" She then shouted. Korosensei gulped with sweat running down his face.

"Ichirin, go sit outside and calm down." Erina ordered in a stern voice. Ichirin looked at Erina, who frowned at her disapprovingly. Ichirin clinched her fists as she walked out of the classroom with a tsk leaving her lips out of anger.

"I've never seen her like that before..." Maemi mumbled quietly. Even her voice sounded low.

"I can't believe I'm saying this..." Erina sighed. Everyone looked up at her. "This isn't the alien's fault. This is no one's fault. Remember most of you belong to very wealthy families. You could all be victims, no matter what. The same thing could have happened in a different time. You cannot blame others for things that were out of their control." Erina explained.

"Yes, Erina-Sensei..." R-Class said. Although they understood what Erina was saying, they still had a gloomy aura surrounding them. E-Class sat in their seats. Erina then left the classroom, leaving Irina to teach the class English.

The lesson went pretty fast. Once Irina was done, Korosensei then walked in. He was taking over maths. Ichirin then finally returned to class. She walked in and bowed to Korosensei, saying sorry, before returning to her seat. Soon break came. The gloomy aura was still there. No one spoke. They just got a snack from their bags and ate in silence. E-Class were sat in a corner, discussing what they should do.

"Maybe we should just tell them to cheer up?" Kaede suggested with her finger on her chin. Yukiko then shook her head as she looked at Kaede. "We can't order them to do that though. People can only be cheered up on their own."

"Maybe just talking to them might work?" Nagisa questioned as he shrugged his shoulders, unsure on what else to suggest.

"But who's going to do the talking?" Sumire asked. Ryoma stood up.

"Alright, alright. You all need to quit it with the gloomy aura." He said.

"Terasaka!" Class-E exclaimed. Class-R looked at him.

"Don't give me that pathetic look! A few kids aren't here, so your gloomy?! You think they want that?!" Ryoma exclaimed.

"Those few kids are our friends." Ai said with irritation in his voice, his head resting on the palm of his hand with a frown on his face. He looked at Ryoma, who folded his arms.

"Well then! Instead of acting gloomy, why don't you cheer up?! If you really were friends with them, you'd still act like they were here! You'd be the way you were while they're here! You wouldn't act gloomy! Would you want everyone to be gloomy because you're not here?" Ryoma asked.

"He's right." Amaya said as she sat back in her chair with a sigh leaving her lips. Everyone looked at her in shock. "She spoke!" Suiko gasped in shock. "Wait, he's right?" Itona asked with a raised eyebrow. This caused Ryoma to have a vein pop out, however, he attempted to keep his composure. "It pains me to say this, but yes. He is." Amaya stated as she looked at Itona. Another vein popped out of Ryoma's head as he glared at Amaya. "It pains you?!" Ryoma exclaimed with his fist clenched.

"I suppose you're right. No point on being gloomy because a few friends aren't here." Suiko said.

"That's not the reason why I'm gloomy though..." Saika thought as she looked down at her desk.

"Saika? Are you ok?" Yuzuru asked quietly, making the female turn her head. Though Yuzuru was quiet, everyone heard her and looked at the two females. "It's the 16th of September..." Saika stated with a sigh leaving her lips. Yuzuru gasped. "I-I completely forgot!" She said with her hands over her mouth.

"What's wrong with the date?" Kaede asked as she looked at the girls in confusion. Saika shook her head gently. "It doesn't matter. All you just need to know that this week is not a good week for me." Saika said.

"Why? Is it a lady thing you girls get?" Taiga asked with his hand on his chin. A vein popped out of Saika's head as she stood up threw a book at his face. The book hit Taiga in the nose, making the male fall back with his nose bleeding. Hiroto and Yuma ended up catching the male.

"Hell no, you pervert!" Saika exclaimed as she was about to walk over to Taiga, however, Ichirin stopped her by hugging Saika's waist. "Sai-Chan! Calm down!" Ichirin exclaimed as Yuzuru then began to help the female hold Saika back.

"My, it's loud in here." Korosensei said as he walked in. He walked to the desk and looked at everyone. "No one has tried to kill me yet. I'm surprised. Have you all forgotten me or something?!" Korosensei cried. "Not just yet." Maemi said as she looked up from her phone to Korosensei. "First Ama and now Maemi!" Suiko gasped. "And what do you mean by that Nozomu-Chan?" Korosensei asked. Maemi pointed up. Korosensie looked above him and screamed when he saw the robotic spider Maemi had been working on.

"No way! You finished it!" Hayato gasped as he looked at the robotic spider in amazement. Korosensei then screamed in fear as he saw the giant spider on the ceiling.

"What is that thing?!" He exclaimed. He went to go to the door, but the spider jumped in front of him. "AH!"

"Scared of a spider?" Toka questioned, laughing slightly with the girls from Class 3-E. The spider then shot water and Korosensei screamed again as his tentacles began to swell up.

"Wow. That's amazing Mae-Chan." Ichirin gasped, still holding Saika. The spider then shot a BB at Korosensei's heart, but then he dodged it and hit the spider across the classroom. Everyone ducked as it flew over their heads and into a wall. Maemi's eyes went wide as it smashed.

"Korosensei! Maemi put so much into that creation!" Sumire exclaimed, disapproving what Korosensei did to Maemi's creation.

"She did?!" Korosensei exclaimed.

"It's ok." Maemi said.

"But he destroyed it." Sumire said.

"That wasn't the real one." Maemi said.

"It wasn't?!" Korosensei exclaimed.

"That was just a test. The real one is at home." Maemi said as she walked to the now smashed up spider and picked it up. She then looked at Korosensei. "I now know that if you are able to reach it, you will hit it." She said. Korosensei froze. "This means I know where to hit you from now." Maemi stated. Korosensei then began to sweat before running out of the classroom at Mach 20.

"Heh. Nice one on scaring him Maemi. He's about to fall for a trap." Aria smirked as she, Jasmine and Akihito rose from their seat. Everyone looked at the troublemakers in confusion, but suddenly...

"Ah!" Korosensei screamed in fear. Everyone ran out and saw down the hall, Korosensei was tangled in thin string he couldn't have seen without looking very closely. "Heh. Our turn." Jasmine said as she, Akihito and Aria got out a gun each. They then ran at Korosensei.

"Even though they're upset about their friends, they can still get Korosensei to fall for traps. Their spirits are down, but they still won't stop." Nagisa thought.
