“Yo, Nagisa!” Karma approached his classmate from behind, giving him a light friendly shove before reaching to snatch the notepad from his hands. It looked like Nagisa had been in the middle of writing something, but that didn’t seem to bother Karma as he looked it over.

“Find any new tips on killing Koro-sensei?” The talller teen asked, as if he couldn’t just read the notes to find an answer. His head tilted as he quickly skimmed the words on the page and then shifted his gaze to his friend.

“I have an idea.”

                              「 no….  」

    _{Matt was looking at his phone went he felt another, ^petite, body smack into his own
    and was sent back a few steps. He ^immediately looked back up in a mixture of shock
    and sympathy as he glazed down to this short, blue-haired man and ^felt his heart sk-
    ip a beat in worry that he had made the other fall over, until he realized that he was j-
    ust} INCREDIBLY _{short, shorter than HIM. Yet still, he wasted no time in ^apologizing.}
