The students were relaxed while waiting and the atmosphere had changed since the first class. A sense of bond formed as they endured hardship together. The air was harmonious until their biggest foe entered the class. They immediately got on guard.
Observing the sudden change, Astrea got depressed. She wanted to reform this class, but she didn't think it would be at her own expense. She ended up being the common enemy and they even go for the kill during 'playing time'.
"Well, there is nothing special to announce today. Everyone can leave early. Bahadur, you stay. I need to talk to you."
The students looked at Bahadur for his opinion. If he refused to be alone, they would stay with him to support. He became the leader of the class after he managed to get them to win a 'lesson'. He shook his head to signal them to leave. As the students left one by one, each one glared at her as if to tell her to not do anything weird. They seriously didn't see her as a teacher.
The two of them were left alone. Bahadur was full of vigilance. There was no opening in his stance and was even ready to attack. It made Astrea sigh which surprised him so much, he raised his arms to protect his body.
"Hey. Chill. I'm not going to fight. I just wanted to tell you that you were chosen to perform in the inter-school tournament."
"!?"
"So will you do it?"
"Who are the other participants?" cautiously asked Bahadur.
"Students from 1A. The cream of the crop."
"Who are the reserves?"
"Others students from 1A or 2A."
"I don't want to participate then."
"Why?"
"You know all the member, which mean you are part of the training committee. You have an awful reputation so there must be a reason they let you in. I have recently lessened the number of injured. They must think your 'lessons' worked. If I link everything together, they are planning to make you my personal trainer which I don't want to happen."
"Oh. Having a smart student sure is a teacher pleasure. But right now, I only want to hit your head to lower your IQ a little."
"!?" He took a defensive stance.
"I won't do it. It was just a figure of speech expressing my annoyance. Don't take it seriously."
He still didn't move.
"Sigh... Fine, whatever. But they really want you in and won't stop pestering you until you accept."
"Then make them change you and add students from 11-8F."
"Oh. I see a student who seriously dislikes his teacher." she said after letting out a frightening aura. "Let me make a call then." she made a call to the head of the committee.
"Hello, president."
"Miss Elysium, how did it go?"
"He doesn't seem pleased with being alone with me. He has some conditions."
"Please, do tell."
"He wants to change me to another teacher. He also needs a few students from 11-8F with him."
"Impossible to change you. No other high-school teachers are able to stop him if he rampages. As for adding students, we can only have 5 for the main rooster and 10 for reserves. They have all been fixed already, we can't change them."
"Oooh... Are you sure? You know that if neither of them is fulfilled, he won't agree."
"It's fine, we can always replace him with someone else if we need to."
"Do you really want to risk it though? If the school end up by being last again because of today decision, the chairman will be mad."
"I- It's fine we can manage."
"But don't you know that majority of the 1A students are actually weaker than the 8F."
"But they are unruly! They end up beating students and they degrade the school reputation."
"And how do they degrade school reputation?"
"During an excursion to another planet, they committed a complete genocide of a species just because they were ugly! It caused a disruption in the food chain and it ended up with its destruction! They also..."
He enunciated everything they did. It was really aggravating. Astrea turned to look at Bahadur and he turned his head in shame. He contributed a lot to the awful evaluation of the class. He played around with girls, either engaged or not. Beat up their fiances. Committed thievery, helped into the said genocide to please the girl.
Astrea despised those kinds of guys so she looked at him with disgust. It made Bahadur blush in shame.
"I understand why you don't want to put them in the team. You don't seem to care if the students aren't up to par to compete. After all, you are still one of the first ten! But don't forget. If the school isn't first place for the first semester, I get to educate all of your students however I wish."
"!? Are you blackmailing me!"
"What makes you think so? I'm just stating what will surely happen after the new year. We all know it's an impossible goal. I have to warn you, my training is really strenuous. The students will be unable to move for the next few days after it. It wouldn't be good if they are too tired for the big day... Don't you agree?"
"... I understand what you mean. I can agree to swap some students but we can't change you."
"Let ask my student." she turned to Bahadur "What do you think?"
"It's fine if I'm not the only one suffering."
"Huhuhu... He agreed."
"G- Great! Let me remind you. You only coach the 8F students."
"Understood. Well then, have a nice day."
"Y- Yeah."
Negotiation complete.
