Kill Me With Love (Karma Akabane)

XXV.Like A Knife

After resolving the lovers' issue, the next day after..
Karma, Nagisa, Kayano, Maehara, Kataoka & Okajima were
hanging out at where Isogai works.

The gang comments on how Isogai is popular due to his gentleman
traits despite being poor. They talked about Isogai's various skills
such as making cheap clothing look fashionable, folding toilet
papers into triangles and receiving love letters from students
in the main campus.

Korosensei even showed up and said that the cake he was enjoying
was good enough to turn a blind eye on Isogai's part time job.
He asked why the students are willing to keep Isogai's work a
secret and the gang answered that because Isogai was a good guy.

But then, all of a sudden, the peaceful atmosphere was disrupted
the instant that the five virtuosos entered the cafe where Isogai was
working, all eyes were on them.

"Ohh so the rumor was true, a certain student has been
  working illegally" Natsuhiko wears a mocking grin while
holding his glasses.

"What a shame." Ren frowned.

The students glare at the five virtuosos who are simply out
to do no-good against the E-Class once again.

"Isogai-kun..-" Nagisa attempts to speak for Isogai but then,
Isogai holds him back.

"It's okay Nagisa-kun. Let me handle it." Isogai smiles at
his classmates and walks forward to the five virtuosos.

"I can't believe you still decided to keep this job.
  You know our students are forbidden to work even if
  it's for part time. This is exactly the reason why you were
  demoted to E-Class. Now, you are going for expulsion."
Gakushu spoke up, looking at Isogai with cold eyes.

"(This bastard.. maybe I should slice him up)" Karma remains
calm, however, in his smile while listening silently held a sadistic
meaning behind it.

"I want to ask you a favor, Asano-kun. Please keep this quiet,
  I am working because of financial difficulties in our family.
  Please, don't tell the school about this." Isogai calmly pleaded
to Gakushu, hopefully asking him this favor to remain silent.

Gakushu falls silent and seems to be thinking about Isogai's
request, while the others are discussing over it, Isogai quietly
waits for Gakushu's response, so does Karma.

"(If I mercilessly expose him, he'll be kicked out from school,
   but if I do that, Achlys will think badly of me, won't she? Haha)"
Gakushu's thoughts run silently inside his head. "Well then, how about
  this, I'm giving you the chance to keep me silent.. if you beat me in
  a game of pole-felling this sports festival. How about it? Sounds like
  a good shot doesn't it?" Gakushu smirks thinking that he will still
defeat E-Class anyway.

Isogai remained silent while his classmates are eager to get aggressive
with the A-Class.

"Take your time, I'll be waiting for you. However, do not let Achlys
  know about this, otherwise, I'll forget your request, Isogai." Gakushu
said and left with his group.

"Hm? Why wouldn't he want to let Achlys know about his dirty side?"
Karma found it amusing that Gakushu cares about what Achlys would think
of him. "I'll probably kick his ass." Karma laughs in an evil manner.

Afterwards... 

"There you are." Karma met with Achlys after leaving the cafe.
