    Summary

    What use was Nagisa in a situation like this? What was one little snake – out of place, out of time and so far out of his depth he’d forgotten what the surface even looked like – to do?

    “Come now, we’ve covered this,” the ghost of Koro-sensei’s voice seemed to reach across the centuries to say. “The poor beast isn’t as terrifying as all that. Start by observing how he swings that blade. Next, look over each movement with the same attention to detail and piece together what you find.”

    There.

    “Don’t you see?” Koro-sensei asked.

    And he did. Stain was skilled and he had many blades, both literal and metaphorical. It would be near impossible for a hero of Nagisa’s skill level to beat him, steel to steel.

    But Nagisa didn’t need to beat him. Because he didn’t need to be a hero, not to do this.

    “Voila,” Koro-sensei said. “A trivial adversary indeed.

    “Now, use that trusty blade to fillet him.”
