Sakura Kiyashiki

After most of Class 3-E injured an old man while freelancing against Karasuma's instructions, the entire class was told to take care of the cram school the old man (named Matsukata) ran. Upon their arrival, the children of the cram school swarmed them but Sakura remained unimpressed. Intending to test their "guts", she ran at Nagisa with a broom only to fall through broken floorboards. Later on, Nagisa attempted to tutor her but she grew impatient as he tried to figure out a way to explain the material. He then asked her why she didn't attend school, to which Sakura confided she was bullied, comparing her situation to a cat that had gotten stuck in a tree. Nagisa responded by telling her to think of the ground as the cram school and the top of the tree as her school; they get their strength from the ground and are looked down on by others even higher, but it is after learning the fearfulness of heights that they are able to move around so freely. He also cautioned that they could still forget about the fear of heights and end up falling to the ground again. Sakura looked up at him in amazement and Nagisa offered her the chance to learn at the cram school and set up a "strategy". During the following two weeks, she studied under Nagisa's tutelage. When Matsukata returned, Sakura arrived and revealed she came second in her class. She followed the strategy Nagisa gave her: to go to school just for the arithmetic test and then make a break for home. Nagisa then instructed her to continue with the "hit and run" tactic to "build her arsenal" for "battles at school". Sakura shyly asked if he'd come back to teach her again to which he agreed, much to her joy.
