||Y/n's P.o.v||

 "Now then, class, I'll be returning your compiled exam papers. Did your second blades manage to reach their targets?" Koro Sensei asked as he pulled out our test papers from the first manilla envelope.

I stared at Koro Sensei eagerly, and so did the rest of the class. It was dead silent.

"No point grumbling about a point here or there, now." he told us.

My leg bounced up and down in anticipation. I gripped onto my skirt tightly as I leaned forwards. I wished Koro sensei would just stop talking and hand us our damn tests back already. Luckily he did. Koro Sensei zipped around the classroom and handed each of us our papers in probably less than a second. As soon as I felt my papers touch my hands I shut my eyes on account of my trepidation.

"Did you do good enough to get you into the top fifty over all?" He asked the class, "The main campus will be posting the overall ranks right about now, so let's start with ranks here in the E Class, too."

The class gasped, and I heard some shuffling, but I was too afraid to open my eyes and see what the commotion was all about. Even though I had studied my butt, off I still had this unrealistic expectation that I failed every single test.

"Y/n...What are you doing?" Karma asked in an unamused manor.

"I can't look!!" I told him, "I'm too nervous!!"

Karma let out a sigh and I heard him get out of his seat. He then grabbed my ear and yanked me out of my chair. "Come on, you idiot..." He muttered. I yelped and dropped my papers onto my desk. I was still to afraid to open my eyes so instead I used my now free hands to cover them,

"Ouch!! Get off of my you dumbass!! That hurts!!" I hissed as he pulled me to the front of the classroom.

Once he let go of my ear, I used one hand to console my injured ear while I used my other to still keep myself in the dark. My classmates around me all gasped in awe and I assumed they could only be doing that because they were baffled at how I was the only one who didn't get into the top fifty. I mean, I even heard Terasaka exclaimed how he had gotten 46th!!

"Isn't Terasaka dead last in the class??" I heard one of my classmates say.

"but...If Terasaka came in 46th..."

"..then that means..."

Finally, I couldn't resist the urge to at least take a peak at the rankings Koro Sensei had put up. When I did, I saw my name on the board...I had gotten...35th...Instantly, my spirits were lifted and I began to smile,

"We did it!!" The entire class—myself included—cheered.

Students threw their test papers in the air without even looking at them, while others cheered with their friends.

"We pulled down the Big Five in the battle for top spot too!!"

"Practically a perfect win!!"

"And first place is Karma, for once!!" Sugino pointed out.

I looked at the top of the list and he was right. Karma had beaten Asano. Koro Sensei came up behind Karma and asked, "How does it feel, Karma, to go after that first place rank on such a high-level battleground...and win?"

"Um, whatever, I guess..." Karma tried to sound unbothered.

Unfortunate, the slight blush on his face gave away that he was actually super stoked. I grinned at him, and elbowed his side,

"I can see you're blushing~~" I teased him, "Just admit your super happy, you big nerd!!" I told him.

In one swift motion, Karma had put me in a choke hold and held his fist inches away from my face,

"Keep talking and I'll knock you unconscious..." He threatened me with a smile on his face.

A chill ran down my spin and I tried to get out of his death grip, "You shouldn't hit girls, you delinquent!!" I hissed. Karma only tightened his grip around my neck,

"Shut up..." he warned.

"It seems your battle against the perfection-boasting Asano came down to that finally math problem." Koro Sensei talked to Karma as if he wasn't suffocating me.

Luckily Karma let go of me, which allowed for me to fall on the ground and gasp for air.

"About that..." he said, "I'm not sure exactly why, but I don't think I could have solved it if I hadn't spent this year with you all. That's the kind of problem it was." He admitted.

I coughed due to lack of my pipes being free, finally, when someone held out their hand to me.

"Need a hand?" Nagisa asked me.

I looked up at him and blushed. I couldn't help it, he and I havent spoken since I accidentally kissed him. Even at school and home, we were both too busy with studying, so even then we didn't talk. I was honestly hoping to keep that streak until graduation or the end of the world (whichever came first).

Now that he was smiling at me kindly and trying to help me out though, I couldn't help but give in to my instincts of being in love with Nagisa. I nodded and took his hand. He then hoisted me up, and I dusted my skirt off, although it wasn't dirty. I just didn't want to have to look him in the eyes after what should have been the happiest day of my life.

"T-thanks..." I forced myself to say.

I picked at a loose string at the end of my skirt as a means to yet again avoid having to look at him. When I pulled at it to rip it off though, the string only got longer, which accidentally startled me.

"Are you...okay?" He asked me.

"Yes..." I replied.

In the room full of our chatting classmates, Nagsia and I were in our own little word filled with awkward silence.

Even though I wasn't looking at him, I was sure he wasn't looking at me. I wouldn't be surprised if he was blushing just as much as I was. Talking about an accidental kiss shouldn't have been this hard, but it was. I was embarrassed, and Nagisa probably was too.

"So uh...About a couple days ago—" Nagisa began.

Suddenly I felt someone put their arm around shoulder, which kind of broke me out of my flustered state. Of course, it was annoying ass Karma...

"Are you happy??" He asked me.

I looked at him and perched my brow, "HUh??" I asked. "Couldn't you see Nagisa and I were having a conversation??" I asked him, in no mood for his weird antics.

"Huh? Is that what you're calling that?" Karma asked me.

I felt my face heat up, because he was right. Nagisa and I weren't really exchanging many words before he had interrupted us like a jackass,

"Anyways..." He continued, "I'm just saying, now that you're in the top 50 you can probably be able to go to whatever school you want again..."

I cocked my head to the side,

"Huh??"

"Oh, that's right!! Now that you have better grades, your sports scholarships will probably open back up, Y/n!!" Nagisa told me.

I gasped, he was right...All my hard work doing multiple sports at the same time, it wouldn't be for nothing anymore...I could get recruited to go to my dream highschool!! I felt my eyes water and my lip quiver. The next thing I knew my legs gave out and I fell onto the floor and started crying,

"Y--Y/n??" Nagisa exclaimed.

"All my hard work...It wasn't for nothing!!" I sobbed, "And I get play sports again!!"

"You dumbass..." Karmas sighed out,

"S-shut up!!"

While I was crying and other students were talking, Koro Sensei started speaking again. I quieted down my sobs to hear what he had to say.

"For their part, the A class did well on the first half of the exams. But it seems more and more students got hung up on the tougher problems in the second batch of subjects." Koro Sensei said

"Well, sure, you can't keep your bloodlust going for that long. Even with daily assassination training," Nakamura said, "It's rough staying in that frame of mind for a whole day. If you want to dope with bloodlust, cramming won't work. You have nurture it slowly but over time." 

I wiped my eyes. She was right.
