"Alllrrright Students time for roll callll!!!!!" An excited Satoru yelled out.
"Grrrade Three Panda kun!"
"Here!"
"Also Grrade Three Inumaki Toge kun!"
"Sujiko!"
"Unfortunately Grade four due to some circumstances Zenin Maki"
"Tch, knew it.... Here!"
"And last but not least Grade Two Ito Gensui kun!!!!"
"Here... and is there really a need to take roll call? You can just look" Gensui asked.
"Of course it is! It gives you the feel of being in school, school without roll call is no school at all!" Satoru resolutely replied.
"And by the way.... do you think you and Panda can switch places, I can't see even your hair from here" He continued.
"Hm? Oh, I don't mind" Panda replied looking behind him where Gensui had his head on his chair getting perfect cover from Panda's large figure. [AN- Panda's 6'3 God damn]
"Sensei why do you want to send such a scholar like Panda kun to the last bench?!" Gensui exclaimed causing Panda's eyes to glow.
"That's right Sensei! Masamichi told me that only Bad Pandas sit on the last bench, I cannot follow your orders sorry" Panda said apologetically.
"Yeah, but there are only two rows here you know there isn't much of a last or first bench here..." Satoru muttered.
"I think you are starting to get what I am going to say now?" Gensui questioned causing Satoru to give a slight smile.
"Don't think you will be able to hide, every single time there's a question to be asked, you're the first one I'll ask," Satoru said with a demonic smile on his face as he stuck out his tongue.
Mimicking his facial expression Gensui also replied, "Try me motherfucker I only need to say 'I don't know'" and stuck his tongue out while standing on his desk.
Satoru meanwhile looked aghast at this, "So there was this way! Fuck! I could have used this in my school years as well"
"You won this time Ito Gensui," Satoru said pointing a finger at Gensui.
"Naturally!" Gensui replied as he sat down on his seat and whipped out a notepad something mimicked by Satoru.
"200 wins in my favour and 200 losses" Satoru muttered.
"200 wins in my favor and 200 losses" Gensui also said at the same time.
"Anyway, Sensei can we talk about how unfair the difficulty of the last mission was?! Especially the Fourth Curse!" Panda quickly complained.
"Shake Shake!!" Toge also voiced his Onigiri ingredient-complaints.
"Ah all ends well is all well or uh something like that?" Satoru said looking to the side plugging his ears with his fingers.
"Okaka!" Toge said with a frown.
"No way I'm gonna accept that! I nearly got crushed!" Maki yelled.
Gensui who was looking at his classmate's complaints finally laid his eyes on Maki who immediately noticed and seemed to squirm in her seat.

*Shudder*
"Ah," Maki yelped as she opened the door to her class and looked inside what she thought would be an empty classroom but had a single person inside of it.... Gensui.
"Yo" Gensui muttered not even raising his eyes to look at the person who entered.
"Ah.. Y-yo" Maki said.
"What are you doing here? It's like an hour before class starts" Maki asked sitting on her seat.
"I could ask the same but who cares, just looking over what we're gonna be taught this year" Gensui replied as he looked at various books stacked on his desk, his focus being on only one for now.
"Ohh... is that right... So are you an honor student or something like that?" Maki asked relaxing in her chair.
Gensui however didn't answer her and only flipped through the pages of the book before closing it and keeping it with the rest of the stack, "Naruto" He muttered, and thus the relaxed Maki was now long gone.
"Y-you..."
"Don't remember, I racked my brain all throughout the night yet I couldn't remember even a thing" Gensui quickly clarified.
"O-oh is that so," Maki said disappointed.
Gensui finally looked away from the book and looked at Maki's face and while doing so he grimaced and muttered, "Annoying"
This shocked Maki's entire body causing her to stumble on her words, "N-no it fi-fine if you don't remember I'll stay out of your hair"
"It's annoying that I don't remember," Gensui said making Maki stop.
"I already talked with Gojo Sensei but he didn't give anything and also with Yuki Sensei and the tone of her voice was hiding something"
"But don't worry there isn't anything you have to concern yourself over with, if it's just memory then I'll get hit plenty of times on the head and it will probably wake something inside of me," Gensui said in a tone trying to invoke 'hope' in Maki but...
"Sorry that doesn't invoke hope in me at all," Maki said with a face asking 'Are you okay?'
"W-WHAT" Gensui yelled surprised.
"I did try my best though" He muttered with slight sadness.
"Heh"
"Hm?" Gensui looked to his side to see a Maki who was bursting with laughter.
"What? It wasn't even that funny you know?" Gensui said with concern on his face.
"No- It's just that I am happy that you are the same person who I once met," Maki said with a grin.
"Really? I think I changed plenty. Before I was rude, brash, a fighting junkie, and even more straightforward" Gensui said with a hopeless expression.
"Ah but the feeling of happiness and joy you invoked in me back then and now is all the exact same" She replied.
Gensui looked at her with an awestruck expression looking at the girl in front of him and laughing with happiness, "When did we meet by the way?"
"When we were Eleven... you came with your teacher to the Zenin Clan remember?" Maki asked.
"No...?"
"You even kicked Naoya!" Maki said re-enacting the kick and standing up.
"Wait I did?! Well, I would have done that now as well" Gensui said amused.
"Yeah, and you promised...." Maki said slightly downtrodden as she once again sat down on her seat.
"Promised what?" Gensui asked with complete sincerity.
"That you'll help me reach the top of Zenin Clan and train me to get to that point," Maki said looking down at her feet just as she looked at Gensui she slightly gasped as Gensui had slightly stood up with wide eyes.
"Yeah that sounds like me alright," Gensui said.
With cold eyes, he continued, "Maki what I'm going to tell you now will probably make you change your mind about how you picture me"
Not even letting her answer he continued, "Back then? I was completely set on a single goal, to complete that goal I had to become stronger, stronger than anyone around and the best way to do that was to fight stronger opponents... I don't remember when we met but I could tell you something... The promise I made that day and everything I said was probably made so you could grow up and become a strong fighter who could push me to become stronger, nothing more nothing less"
"But-" Maki tried refuting Gensui's claim but was interrupted.
"Every sweet thing that I may have said that would have brought you hope was simply for my benefit and my joy, I did it without a single care for you and your existence, so in case you do hold some 'special' feelings for that Gensui, you better drop it because the old me was nothing but a self-centered bastard much like Naoya who bullies you and the clan you so despise"
"..." Maki remained silent as she looked at Gensui with no emotion on her face not long after she burst into laughter.
"Yeah you probably were like that after all it is YOU who is talking about Yourself," Maki said.
"Right?" Gensui said looking to the side.... embarrassed? Angry at himself? Hating himself?
"But I don't think that you are who you talk about," Maki said.
"Hah?"
Not letting Gensui continue, "I know this sounds kinda corny but being in my clan myself I can attest how bad things were there, so I can tell you that you back then had certainly more than zero percent of goodness in his heart.... SOOOOO, DONT YAP ABOUT THE OLD YOU IN SUCH A NEGATIVE MANNER YOU DIMWIT" Maki yelled as she threw something at Gensui's face.
It was something that brought his some nostalgia, "Fake blood?" He looked at the blood dripping from his head in confusion before he burst out laughing, so hard in fact that he fell even off his chair.
"W-what?" Maki asked confused.
"I see you liked who I was back then huh?" Gensui asked.
"L-l-l-l-l-liked I think that's a rather-"
"Thanks..... I have been sort of hating myself in the back of my mind for being so cold-blooded back then but with you saying those words..." Gensui smiled as he looked back at his Daily interaction with his Teacher and her friends, but he also looked back at the people who had begged him for forgiveness when he caught them after an assassination attempt on him, most were a victim of others' circumstances who deserved a second chance, someone, to help them, these things had caused Gensui to have nightmares, he was a rather strong person even back then, he was strong enough to bare the consequences of giving them a second chance, he had been hating on himself for not doing so, the reason was simple.... he was, in the end, a nice person.
"As for the promise..." Gensui said.
"Hm? Ah, there is no need for that if you don't remember the promise then I won't burden you-"
"Oh Maki Maki Maki.... You sure are cute" Gensui said grabbing her hand.
Maki immediately froze when she heard Gensui, "You must be mistaking something... I may have graduated from being a Fighting Junkie... but I still like fighting you know?"
"Zenin Toji, he had the same kind of Heavenly restriction you have right now," Gensui said and he ran his hand along Maki's arm.
"After his death, his body was never found again..... secretly used for research and the lead researched was none other than Me (And my Teacher, mainly her)" Gensui said.
"Wait do you mean-"
"Even before this Sensei talked with the man in rather depth about his training plan and whatnot, body conditioning and all of that is within.....here," Gensui said pointing at his head.
"Get ready to give me a strong fight Maki Chan!" Gensui said making a heart with his hands.
'Somehow I am starting to regret talking to this man' Maki thought with horror on her face.
