Ripping... out spines? I was always so bad at that. The human skeleton, it's so tough. As a child I always came last in the spine ripping out contests.
I'm just kidding. I may be a demon, but I'm not a barbarian. This lady was talking about some crazy shit.
"We'll be using, uh...."
Her voice drifted off. She was so quiet. It was clear she was nervous.
"Oh! Sorry, you guys couldn't hear me, could you? We'll be using dummies."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, she pulled out like 300 human sized dummies. WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE GET THEM FROM? HER ASS?!??!? No but seriously, they came out of nowhere. Now, I know the author doesn't care enough about this story to explain this strange occurrence, but this is just unrealistic.
(P.S. I do care about this story, don't listen to the fat little shit.)
After getting insulted by my own creator, I stood up and raised my hand.
"Um, is this really part of our curriculum. I mean, when will we ever use this in the real world?"
The teacher looked down after I asked this question. I think she was crying. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. The entire class started to glare at me.
"I-I'm just trying to do my job. I'm r-really new to this, and I thought it was a smart idea..."
She wiped her tears away, and she looked up with a newfound determination.
"You know what, fuck it! We're gonna start the exercise early!"
E-exercise? I'm not exactly good at that sort of thing.
"Class! Follow me outside!"

There we were, standing outside in a giant forest. It was hot as literal balls, and everyone in the class was sweating profusely. Brokuno took it upon himself to fan me off with his arms.
"Don't worry, Sasuke. I'll keep you cool."
I wanted to tell him off for embarrassing me, but it actually felt pretty good. The cool air coming off his arms, it started to open up my mind. I began to realize what it felt like to have some semblance of power.
"Class, split into groups of three! I will then explain what we'll be doing today!"
The teacher was really invigorated. Somehow, I filled her with a sense of purpose. (I literally just asked a simple question, but whatever.) Obviously Brokuno stuck by me, but the third partner would likely be a struggle. Or so I thought. Everyone was in a group, except for Satsuki. That's what she gets for acting all high and mighty. We walked over to her. She was clearly embarrassed that she was all alone. It almost made me feel bad for her. I knew that feeling well.
"Hello Satsuki. It seems that nobody wants to group with you. Well, have we got an offer for you! Come join us, big tits!"
That was the first time I talked so confidently to a girl. She looked away from me.
"F-fine. It's not like I have much of a choice. Hopefully the exercise doesn't involve heavy lifting."
"Why not? Is it because you're a girl?"
She glared at me. She looked at my stomach.
"No, it's because you'd be worthless in that kind of challenge."
I would say that was a low blow, but she was pretty much completely correct in that assumption.
"My friend Sasuke here will be amazing in any challenge we face! You'll see, Double-D!"
She again wore that look of disgust.
"What is that, some sort of nickname?"
"Well actually it was a rhyme, and also a reference to your above average sized breasts!"
Obviously. But the nickname was.... not bad. Better than calling her Satsuki. That name sounded too similar to mine anyways.
"OKAY CLASS!!! I'm sorry for shouting.... anyways, let's get to the instructions. There really isn't that much to explain. Basically, you'll all split up. You'll have one hour for this phase.... then when the time's up, you will hunt down the other teams. You will fight.... and whoever brings back the most spines wins."
The entire class grew quiet. She wanted us to rip out eachother's spines. We all looked at her, expecting her to say it was just a joke. Instead, she took out her whistle and raised it to her mouth.
"Oh, and any team that brings back no spine will have all it's members expelled immediately. Have fun!"
She blew her whistle. Brokuno grabbed me and threw me on his back.
"Let's go Sas-"
He fell over. His face was covered in dirt.
"Um, Sasuke, you are a little bit.... heavy."

An hour had passed, and now we were hidden deep in the woods. And when I say hidden, I mean the opposite. You see, the green color of the grass may be good camouflage for humans, but for demons, we stuck out like a sore thumb. I looked over to Brokuno and Double-D. (Yes, we're officially using that name now.) They seemed to be discussing some sort of plan. Of course, I wasn't involved in the plan. I would not be able to help in the fight. I began to tremble. There was a high possibility that I would get my spine ripped out. I'm sure that doesn't feel too good. I felt sick. I thought I would be doing calculus and writing essays here. This was not what I was expecting. But even so, at first I was excited. But this.... I could really die here!
Brokuno grabbed my arm. He had a large smile on his face. He wasn't scared at all. And Double-D seemed relatively confident too.
"Listen, Sasuke, we have a plan. You play a big role, okay? We need you to listen."
For the first time since I met him, Brokuno looked serious. He actually looked like he had a plan. And so I listened. I listened, and I listened.
The plan... it was smart. But the main problem wasn't how good it was. I was about to take on a huge risk.
I began to pray that my spine wouldn't be ripped out.
