gently caress Atori. Sabnock just figured out he'll be the dad figure of the misfits and adopted two kohai and this fucker just rolls in. I don't expect Sabnock will get Purson'd but holy crap next week can't come fast enough.

I kind of figured this rear end in a top hat would be the one to ruin things since Iruma can neutralize Kalego. Still hoping they eke out a win, but will be unsurprised when this guy just ruins the mood by finishing everyone at the last moment.

It does feel like he is showing his hand too early and will thus be picked off.

I think there's a decent chance of Atori getting his comeuppance in this arc. Yes, he's an experienced demon who's playing a little rougher than the real Bablys teachers, but I'm not convinced that he fully grasps how dangerous the people he's screwing with are. Dude's way too cocky.

One thing that would really make this arc amazing for me is if this whole event turns out to be a trap for Atori (and by extension, Shiida). While this is still something the teachers came up with to take the Misfits down a peg, Sullivan and Balam use this as a chance to test Atori and Shiida's characters. In a high-energy and low-stakes event like this, Balam must be watching what the two will do, and Atori's already letting his real personality slip through.

It would be great seeing Atori being taken down a peg. Especially if it is done by Kalego in his adorable form.

Page one, next chapter, Sullivan is effortlessly holding back Atori's blow, saying "I see you've finally shown your hand..."

After all my complaints about the teachers taking this exercise too far, it would be hilarious if this is just the end of the battle sequence and the rest of the volume is a highly-emotional series of arguments about whether the teachers brought this outcome upon themselves, or whether Sabnock should be expelled, executed, or promoted for murdering an instructor.

I'd rate the odds that rear end in a top hat here is dead at close to 0%.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Dude was already getting significantly challenged by a student using an unfamiliar power for the first time, Balam is one of Bablys's top fighters alongside Kalego (who we know is an absolute loving monster when he's not getting clowned by Iruma and Opera), and we've only had a small taste of what our gargoyle buddy can really do when he goes all-out. Atori is just walking fertiliser now.

Nah, Atori was literally reveling in being hit with orgasmic glee and none of the damage nor the heightened pain really held him back. And the moment it looked like the fight was going to stop he just instantly destroyed the golden lion. Atori is still on par with any of the actual teachers, they are well above the students but Balam is still above him.

I think that of all the teachers, though, Balam is the best-equipped to deal with that. He's got ESP and legendarily perfect defences. If Atori tries that, I can only expect it to end in a fakeout where he thinks he's landed a hit before he gets pounded into the dirt.

Option B is that Baal's faction are up to some Godrick the Grafted poo poo in their quest to be as monstrous as possible, and the Six Fingers are all hosed up super-soldiers designed to be more demonic than demons could 'naturally' be. That would go some way to explaining why Sheeda is on the payroll, if she's hiding some hideous secret like Atori is.

I suspect that the purpose of all this will be to divert suspicion away from Sheeda, maybe by having her save the day and protect the students. Don't know whether it will be because of blackmail, acting skills, or some sort of Manchurian Candidate poo poo, but she's probably going to be the far more dangerous of the two Fingers to Bablys.

I'd think that if anything, Atori going loud like this would draw a lot of suspicion to Sheeda as well, because they both joined at the same time and are both still outsiders compared to the rest of the teachers who are relatively close-knit. She might end up saving some people to defray suspicion though, yeah.

Yeah. It is a good way of showing that despite how hard they were going, the teachers were actually holding back. So now that they have a fucker who wants to start killing students the kid gloves come off and hopefully they tear him apart.
