Talent Time.Karasuma evaluates the progress of the students during their training, but he briefly senses a fearsome aura, like that of a python, coming from Nagisa. Soon after, Karasuma's colleague Akira Takaoka is sent to Class 3-E to take over as the new physical education teacher. He initially uses a lightheaded personality to attract the students, but his true nature as a ruthless and sadistic instructor is soon unveiled. When Karasuma withholds Takaoka from torturing the students any longer, Karasuma is challenged to pick one of his star pupils to use a real knife in a match against Takaoka. Karasuma nominates Nagisa, who uses the assassination skills he learned from Karasuma. Nagisa manages to get the upper hand on Takaoka and wins the match. When Takaoka violently objects to defeat, Karasuma beats him back. Gakuhō arrives to fire Takaoka, and Karasuma returns to his position as the physical education teacher.
