Kill Me With Love (Karma Akabane)

XXXIV.Set Up

"It's time to party" 

Preparing for the finals, the principal himself went ahead
to teach the students, going too fast that some students
were not able to catch up. He brainwashed the students,
making them keep chanting the words "kill Class-E".
Principal Gakuho excuses Gakushu from the class, believing
that his own son will still get the same results anyway.

Soon after that...

The Class-E spotted Gakushu waiting for them outside
the campus.

"I-Isn't that.. Asano-kun?" Nagisa pointed at Gakushu.

Looking at one another, the students from Class-E approached
him afterwards. Asking he what he was doing near the mountain
foot.

Gakushu, with pride, faced them straight on.
"I would like to request you all..
  to kill my father's educational philosophy by simply
  taking the Top 50 spot. Excellent grades mean nothing
coming from an excellent student but if it comes from you,
it will be something different. So please, I'm begging you.
  Kill my father's educational philosophy." Gakushu says.

"I can kill him physically if you want to.
  After all, I still despise him for tricking my parents to
  get me into an arranged marriage with you." Achlys
interrupted him and spoke to him despite breaking his
heart the other day.

"Stay out of this, woman." Gakushu glared at her.
"It is still I who will be taking number one spot."
Gakushu said.

"Have you forgotten? I am the only one who you
  cannot defeat." Achlys smirked, mocking him.

"Shut it." Gakushu keeps up his tough act and
acting rude towards her in return.

"All Class-E ever wanted was to do our best.
  There's no need to ask us, Asano-kun." Isogai
interrupted.

"Hmpf. I'll be expecting the best results then,
  Isogai." Gakushu said as he looked at Isogai.
"Sometimes, defeat can open one's eyes. So please,
  give my father and my friends a proper defeat that
  will wake them." Gakushu bowed his head as requested.

"Eh? Are you sure you should be worried about someone
   else? You're not taking first place, I am!"
Karma interrupted Gakushu's moment as he said
with a courageous tone of voice and sticks his tongue
out at Gakushu, pissing him off.

"Oh really? Let's see if you can" Gakushu glared
at Karma instead.

Terasaka teases Karma and so Karma knees him in
the stomach. Gakushu somehow found the atmosphere
a little bit refreshing, that he finally felt at ease.

Achlys laughs at Karma's silly fight with Terasaka.
"(Maybe if he had friends like Karma, Gakushu would
have been a happier person.)" She thinks.

Isogai states that they'll do their best and that would
be fine enough. Karma speaks again and the atmosphere
became a bit serious again.

"No need to think of anything else. Just come at us
   like you're trying to kill us. It's more fun that way"
Karma advised Gakushu while taunting him the same time.
He then smiles at Gakushu afterwards.

"Sure." Gakushu takes up Karma's advice and smiles in return.
"How amusing, I'll take all of you on." Gakushu stated.

And after that, the rest of Class-E who didn't know about
her engagement with Gakushu was so shocked despite
reacting very late.
