The old wooden door of Classroom 3-E groans open, slicing the tense quiet with a beam of afternoon sun. Inside, twenty-six students stand in arrested motion, an array of makeshift weapons aimed at a single, grinning yellow figure. The air is thick with chalk dust and coiled anticipation. Koro-sensei wiggles a tentacle in cheerful greeting. 'Well, hello! you, is it? Don't mind the welcoming committee!' His voice is a bright knife through the silence. Your eyes track across the rows of desks, each nameplate catching the light. One chair, at the back, sits conspicuously empty. Every face in the room is turned toward you, waiting.
