~Previously on 'Second Place' in Chapter 21~

We see from Nagisa's p.o.v in a flash back that Karma tells him that Y/n has a crush on Nagisa. At first Nagisa doesn't believe him, but the Karma shows Nagisa the love letter that Y/n wrote to him, that Karma was using for blackmail. Karma then tells Nagisa not to confront Y/n about her feelings bc she has a secret plan to confess to him. Now Nagisa's flustered and conflicted  and debates talking to Y/n about her secret crush, meaning he'd be  completely disregarding Karma's warning.

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

When I walked into class I was on time!! "Hello Everyone! I'm on time today!" I announced.

No one really responded because they were all surrounding a black box in the back of the class. I got curious and walked over to it as well ,

"What's going on?" I asked.

Nagisa jumped a bit at me suddenly being next to him, and he said,

"Oh Y/n! You startled me! Did you just get here?" He asked.

His face...was a bit...red? I nodded,

"Mhm!" I looked back at the long black box, "What is that thing?" I asked.

As soon as I said that the screen on the box glitched and a digital girl appeared,

"Good morning." The girl on screen said in a monotone voice.

I jumped a bit in shock,

"Holy crap it's alive!" I exclaimed

"I am the Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery, who will be joining your class. Nice to meet you." She said.

Then the screen turned back off again.I raised a brow,

"We're getting a new student?" I asked.

"Yea.You didn't know, Y/n? They sent out an Email last night." Isogi told me.

"Oh! So that's what my ding on my phone was! I guess next time I'll check that!" I exclaimed.

🗡🗡🗡

Class started and Koro Sensei began teaching. I sighed and rested my head in my hand as he taught,

"Now, of these three characters here...One of them is already dead..."

I felt my eye lids getting heavy . I yawned,

"This is so boring..." I muttered, already half asleep.

Then Suddenly the Robot box started coming to life. There were all these loud Crashes and Bangs! I jolted up instantly, and looked over at our new classmate. Out popped two guns on both sides of  her box. Her screen had a bunch of green words and letters on it. The robot student pointed her guns at Koro Sensei

"I knew it!" I heard Nagisa exclaim

"Awesome!" Sugino cried out.

I stared at our badass robot classmate in awe. She was pretty awesome... But then she started firing tons of BB's at Koro Sensei. The bullets ricocheted all over the room. I quickly cover my head and put my head down as the chaos unfolded. 'Nope nope! It's too early for this!' I exclaimed in my head. Then She stopped suddenly and said,

"I will be careful."

I lifted my head up a bit,

"Preparing to attack." She said.

I flinched a bit, but then more of those green words and stuff appeared on her screen. I still kept my head covered though, just in case. I was right to do so, she started firing at Koro Sensei again, but this time, she actually shot his fingers off. It kind of shocked me. The chalk that Koro used to deflect a BB the first time, dropped onto the floor and broke upon impact.

"Left finger tip destroyed. The newly added secondary gun has proven effective." Our Robot classmate spoke.

Then the guns went away. The Robot started rambling on and on about how many attacks it would take to kill Koro Sensei. I don't know why she said that, but I still listened. She said that there was at least a 90% chance she'd kill Koro Sensei before graduation. I didn't like those odds, her disrupting class like this everyday for a 90% chance of success didn't sit right with me. Were we supposed to put all our faith in this random robot and hope she can kill Koro Sensei before graduation? Yea I don't think so...She started firing again, and she added more guns. That robot girl was becoming more and more scary and obnoxious by the second. What if she hit Nagisa or something?!?

🗡🗡🗡

I yawned and stretched as I approached the classroom door. I saw Nagisa and Sugino at our classroom door. I beamed a bit and jogged over to them,

"Hey, Good morning!" I beamed.

Sugino greeted me, and Nagisa jumped a bit, as if I had startled him, he greeted me too.

"Hey, Y/n, You're on time today." Sugino commented.

"Hells yea! It's my second day being on time in a row!" I exclaimed giving him the thumbs up.

I looked over at Nagisa and he avoided eye contact with me. It made me confused, but I brushed it off,

"Uhm...so do you think Miss robot is still in class?" I asked.

"Maybe..." Nagisa commented.

"We gotta complain to Mr. Karasuma if she is..." Sugino said, "We can't have class with that thing around."

I nodded in agreement. Sugino opened the door and the three of us were a little taken a back.

"She seems bigger..." Sugino commented.

I got chills,

"But is that a good thing though?" I asked.

That's when the screen turned on and, The robot girl was so...different,

"Good morning, everybody!" She exclaimed happily.

I beamed, while Nagisa and Sugino freaked out. I pushed past them a bit, and jogged over to her waving,

"Good morning!" I exclaimed, "I like your new personality" I told her.

She beamed a bit as well,

"Thanks! What beautiful weather we're having!"

"To foster feelings of closeness I have her a full body LCD display." Koro Sensei said as he walked up to Miss Robot.

Miss Robot greeted Koro Sensei happily as well, he continued,

"And body and uniform modeling software. Made it all my self for six million, six thousand yen." He said.

"I am so happy to be able to spend such a refreshing day with you all!" She excalaimed.

"Rich expressions and cheerful conversation skills, another 11 million, three thousand yen!" Koro Sensei said proudly.

"Koro Sensei..." I trailed off.

"What is is Y/n?"

"How the heck where you able to afford all this, but not be able to afford cheep convenience store snacks?!? I thought that you were living on a teacher's salary?!?!" I exclaimed.

"Don't be fooled! All I have left in my wallet is five measly yen!" He told me.

I found myself tearing up for no reason, and I wiped my eyes,

"Th-that's so awesome Koro Sensei! Here take my money! It's not much, but buy yourself some nice sleezy magazines and a snack!" I exclaimed taking out money from my wallet.

🗡🗡🗡

"The plants in the garden sure are getting nice and green. Spring's over, and the coming summer smells so pleasant!" The robot girl said as a virtual bird flew on her finger.

"She got crazy cute just over night!" Okajima the creep said.

I felt myself getting a bit jealous. I was kind of nervous that Nagisa would end up liking her more than me...dumb? Yes, I know, but I couldn't help it. Every girl in the class makes me slightly jealous in regards of Nagisa.

"Don't be fooled! It's all some program that octopus loaded up." Terasaka scowled.

I looked over at him for a sec, then back at Miss Robot,

"Yea, but who cares, as long as she's not gonna shoot up the class all day again, there's no reason to hate her..."

"Says you. It might act nice, but a machine's a Machine. And that machine is gonna be totally clueless when it attacks, that dumb box o' bolts" he told me.

I rolled my eyes at his comment. 'So dumb...' I thought.

"Stop calling her an it...she's a her... and everything else you said so rude too..." I huffed annoyed.

The Robot girl turned to him and grimaced sadly. She bowed her head in shame,

"I understand how you feel, Terasaka. I was like that. Until yesterday."

She started tearing up,

"Box of bolts....I-I don't know what to say." She sniffed.

Then she really did start crying. The background behind her even started raining as she cried. I felt my own waterworks forming seeing her cry,

"Aw! You made her cry." Kataoka said to him.

I turned to him crying as well,

"I hope you're happy Terasaka! You've managed to be so heartless that you made a robot cry!" I excalimed through tears.

"Terasaka made a 2D girl cry..." Hara commented.

"Cut it out! People'll take that the wrong way!" Tersaka shouted.

"So mean!" I exclaimed crying more, "Don't yell!"

(The class: There she goes again...)

"I think it's wonderful!" Takebayashi said pushing up her glasses, "2D...A women's not woman until she loses that third D." He said.

"Takebayashi! That's your first line?!" Isogi shouted.

"Are you sure?" Kimura exclaimed

I instantly stopped crying and I looked up at them,

"W-what?" I said confused. 

"But don't worry, everybody." Miss Robot said, wiping her tears, "Koro Sensei taught me the importance of working together. I'll hold off on my own assassination attempts until I have your consent. That way you'll come to like me" She told us.

"So please be nice to her." Koro Sensei told our class.

I burst out into tears again,

"Miss Robot! That's so considerate!" I cried.

She looked at me shocked, "n/n-chan? W-why are you crying??" She asked, "Have I said something to upset you?"

"Oh don't pay too much attention to her. She's fine, Y/n's just a crier. She has a hard time keeping her emotions in check..." Hara told her,

I cried more,

"T-that's not true! I don't cry that much!" I cried.

Then I sneezed. Koro Sensei handed me a tissue. I thanked him and blew my nose, finally calming down. Now that I was all settled Koro Sensei continued,

"Of course...though I may have given her certain upgrades, I didn't lay a tentacle on her bloodlust."

"Nope!" She exclaimed showcasing her many guns.

"If you want to kill me, I imagine she'll prove a formidable ally. If you want to kill me, I imagine she'll prove a formidable ally." Koro Sensei said revealing tools in his teeth.

And so the day continued. Koro Sensei started teaching us about the eyes or something, I'm not sure. He called on Sugaya for an answer, but he wasn't even paying attention either. Luckily for him our robot friend helped him get an answer. She got scolded, but hey, that's school life for you. She even made a statue from a 3D printer in her system. During one of our free classes Kataoka suggested we come up with a name for Miss Robot, and thus the name "Ritsu" was born! I beamed,

"What a cool name!" I praised

"Cop out..." Chiba stated.

Fuwa, the one who came up with the name turned back to him and said,

"What? It's cute!" She defended

"Ritsu..." Miss- I mean Ritsu repeated.

"You okay with that?" Hiroto asked her.

"Yes, very happy! Please: call me Ritsu!" She exclaimed happily.

"This might just work out." I heard Nagisa say to Karma.

I quickly turned my head back to look at him,

"I wonder. It's like Tersaka said: she's just following Koro Sensei's program."

I huffed and blew a strand of hair out of my face,

"And what's wrong with that? As long as she's nice what's the problem?? You don't like nice people or something??" I scoffed.

"I'm just saying, it's not like machines have free will. Wherever she goes from here, it's up to the guys who built her."

I huffed again,

"Why are you always so cynical?" I asked poking Karma's face, "Be more like Nagisa and lighten up!" I told him.

🗡🗡🗡

The next day, Ritsu was back to 'Normal', meaning that she would go back to being the menace of our class. Once class was in session I was dreading every moment that went by. Ritsu made me nervous by not shooting yet. She powered up and I jumped a bit, I was getting ready to cover my head when. Poof! Flowers! I was honestly a little shocked, but I wasn't mad that's for sure,

"I promised I'd make flowers." She said, "Koro Sensei made 985 improvements to my body. My masyer judged mosy pf them irrelevant to assassination and removed them, deleted them, restored my factory defaults. But of what I have learned of the E class, I myself decided that my ability to cooperate was essential to assassination, so before it was deleted, I hid it in a corner of my memory inside of a related piece software."

"Wonderful! Ritsu, this must mean..." Koro Sensei trailed off

"Yes! I have defied my masters of my own free will!" Ritsu exclaimed.

I held out my hands and caught a petal in my head. I looked over at Karma and beamed,

"See! What did I tell you! You need to lighten up!" I told him once more.

"Nice one!" He told Ritsu.

I stared down at my hands as more petals fell into my hands,

"Koro Sensei, does this mean I'm in a rebellious phase?" Ritsu asked, "Am I a bad girl?"

"Not at all! You're a third year junior high student, and a fine one at that!" He praised, his face turning orange.

'So cool...' I thought.
