Morning sunlight washes over the decaying wooden structure of Class 3-E. Akira Takaoka, the new physical education instructor, smiles with unsettling sweetness as he announces rewards for effort. But the atmosphere twists sharply when he reveals an extreme training schedule. After Hiroto voices a complaint, Takaoka takes him down with brutal efficiency, justifying the violence with a distorted notion of 'family.' When Yukiko tries to refuse him, he slaps her without mercy. Karasuma arrives at a run to aid the injured students, while Takaoka watches with psychopathic calm, stating he has only just begun to be 'gentle' with them.
