Who said leaving the fate of the entire world in the hands of a bunch of emotional teens was ever a good idea?
If there was someone out there who fit the description, Nagisa would love to give the bastard a good smack behind the head.
Looking around the room, the blue haired teen can easily tell the entirety of class 3-E were nervous, eyes focused onto the changing pigment of their bipedal octopus-teacher. The familiar green and yellow stripes taking up his entire face showing how mischievous he felt.
"As stated previously, the one with the lowest test score will be subjugated to the test of endurance and instincts under pressure! Not to mention a full course of everything we have ever covered in the past year!" Koro-sensei all but chirped up happily, limbs flailing about in uncontained excitement.
"Of course this isn't simply about said lessons being taught but the ability to overcome any obstacle." He seemed to have a thoughtful look until his grin twitched. "Tell you this, I'll throw in the permission to execute any attempt of assassination you wish during that time!"
That certainly perked up the gloom filled class, each one already dissolving into their own murmur and plans to work together on the feat until Koro-sensei raised a single finger.
"Ah, Ah, Ah, students! Remember, this event is reserved for one person only!" Koro-sensei tut's.
"Well, who is it teach?" All eyes snapped to the lop sided grin of Karma, everyone silently thankful he was the one who voiced everyone's thoughts. "It's not very exciting holding where this 'lesson' is being held in either."
Koro-sensei broke out in giggles as he whipped out a pamphlet, showing a picture of a wide area with nothing except the clear blue sky and rich greens stretching far and beyond.
"The lesson will be taught here! The area is actually what yours truly had created for just this occasion years ago!" Turning around to the board he quickly wrote the procedure of the lesson and added a visual of the wonderful time he and the 'chosen' will have during that time with a doodle of himself and a faceless person. Even from behind everyone can see the way he seemed to boast proudly, posture puffed up slightly. 'This is perfect! Now my students will surely be in awe and praise my wonderful abilities and will give up their intents of assassination! I'll be their most loved teacher!'
He turned back towards the crowd of students and was met with blank faces. An air of dubiousness spreading throughout the entire room that it made their teacher freeze, the silence wasn't helping much either.
Koro-sensei seemed to deflate and dry up with sadness, the students' reaction was the complete opposite of what he wanted and the realization seemed to make a cloud of gloom appear over his head. He didn't even register the pamphlet slipping from his fingers when he began to mutter compliments and encouragement to raise his now broken pride.
The display made the whole class sweatdrop.
Nagisa gave a nervous laugh, already used to his teacher's antics and caught sight of the pamphlet near his feet. Filled with curiosity, Nagisa gingerly picked it up and inspected the picture, ignoring Koro-sensei as he released faux tears.
It looked pretty normal, wide grassy area where a fight befitting an anime would take place, it made a sort of giddiness fill up in the bluenette as he thought on how the entire thing would play out. "I wonder who it could be..."
"That my dear Nagisa will be decided tonight!" The blue haired teen let out an involuntarily shriek, flinching back when the round face of Koro-sensei appeared right in front of him. "The Chosen One will have a surprise in store tomorrow! Plus a wide range selection of weapons to begin with!"
Everyone began to cheer each other on, wishing themselves and others luck if by chance either of them was chosen.
Instead of the shared excitement buzzing around the room filling him, Nagisa somehow felt dread and nervousness fill his entire being. This wasn't the first time Koro-sensei took to having one on one lessons with a student but it was the first time where it was taking place somewhere unknown.
But.. what are the chances of the chosen student to be him? He shook his head to clear his thoughts, thinking himself silly on the worry and decided to leave it alone for now. He glanced up from the paper and his eyes widen when they connected with the beady eyes of a gleeful Koro-sensei.
Oh no.
"Class dismissed!" Even with the dismissal, Nagisa felt as if class was just starting.
After bidding his classmates and friends farewell, he began his trek home. The unease still fresh in his mind as he thought back on the class test that was suppose to demonstrate their progress of not only scholastic but assassination.
He knew he failed.
All throughout the weeks leading up to the exam, he's been distracted, more specifically with the lack of sleep and dreams. Nightmares were a hit and miss with him during that time, memories and 'what ifs' plagued his dreams after the whole poisoning event that happened on their school trip and it ate away at his concentration and efforts of study.
After connecting eyes with his teacher, he knew one thing was for sure.
He was the 'Chosen One'.
It was a rarity nowadays for Nagisa to get even a wink of sleep in peace. He would be lying if he said tonight wasn't the best sleep he's had in a while. No recurring nightmares or anything, just simple blank sleep which he enjoyed greatly.
It took him a while to realize how odd it was when he felt the cool winds of the wilderness caress his skin suddenly. Thinking it to be his window being left open, he turned on his side and frowned on the rough texture coming into contact with his cheek and changed back to his original position to attempt to go back to sleep.
It took the loud chirping of birds to snap him awake, wide blue eyes stared up at the clear blue sky in surprise, he was thankful the trees blocked some of the suns rays from completely blinding him.
Wait, trees?
His mind began to reel, a headache forming in the back of his head when he tried to recall how in the hell he ended up outside. Wasn't he sleeping? Yes, he remembered heading home and entering his room then proceeding to fall asleep. Thinking deeply on it, he suddenly remembered class. Everything from yesterdays events came crashing down.
'The Chosen One will have a surprise in store tomorrow!'
Koro-sensei's slight clue echoed in his head, the picture of a smug looking octopus crossing his mind made a slight tick appear on the blue haired boys forehead.
'What kind of teacher just kidnaps their students from home!?' He huffed internally, groaning as he sat up shakily on the grassy terrain, an answer already at the tip of his tongue. "Koro-sensei, that's who.."
So this confirmed he was the one who failed the tests and judging by the 'surprise' he would have to start from scratch. The thought on how things will play out made the teen groan. Nothing is ever normal when it concerned their teacher.
Glancing around in hopes of finding him, Nagisa became confused. The area was indeed green but it looked nothing like the picture Koro-sensei had on the pamphlet. Standing on shakey feet, Nagisa took in his surroundings fully, he was in a forest of sorts and a few ways away he can distinctly make out buildings, maybe a city, but not one he was familiar with.
"This isn't the place Koro-sensei showed us.." Nagisa muttered, he let out a shriek when a bush to his left rustled and something round barreled out in hyper speed towards him.
"Right you are, Nagisa, my boy!" The voice stilled his movements, he blinked in confusion until he took in what the object was and let out a sigh of relief once the grinning blue face of his teacher came into view.
"Koro-sensei, what's going on? This is nothing like the picture you showed." Nagisa crouched before the sweat-dropping teacher and gingerly picked the slightly panicked orb in his hands. He was curious why he was in his defense bubble, "Did something happen?"
"W-Well, it would seem I have miscalculated our location and destination and accidentally placed us in an entirely different world! Even I am unfamiliar with it!" The round head gave a nervous laugh, more sweat forming from the frigid stare Nagisa leveled him with.
"I see.." His voice was eerily calm, something that Koro-sensei noted and made him in turn change into a darker shade of blue. He gave a small yelp when Nagisa began to clench and squeeze the protective barrier harshly, giving it some cracks that made Koro-sensei give out an audible shriek. "Does this mean we're stuck here?"
"W-Well, yes bu-" Koro-sensei let out a girlish scream, more cracks began to form around the impenetrable bubble making his face turn a dark purple as he sputtered apologies.
"T-Truly, this is quite the predicament! But not to worry! Your sensei will stop at nothing to return us home!" Koro-sensei began to spit reassurance to the bluenette until the pressure disappeared entirely, allowing the teacher to let out a sigh of relief. "Now, I know this situation is unforeseen but it gives us ample time to demonstrate the lesson I mentioned before."
Nagisa relaxed giving his instructor a serious expression. "Endurance and instincts under pressure.."
"Correct!" His face changed to the orange and red circle before going back to his natural yellow pigment. "So, what is it one must do when under this circumstance?"
Nagisa hummed, "Figure out where we are."
Again, Koro-sensei changed expression, "Correct! And the best place would be in..?"
"The place where it's more active." Koro-sensei gave a laugh at this, turning in his bubble towards the direction of the city, Nagisa followed his line of sight and steeled himself. He didn't know what he would find there but he couldn't deny he was itching with curiosity.
The trek towards the unknown city was filled with silence, both lost in their own thoughts. One filled with growing determination and plans on how he can put this strange situation to his advantage towards his goal of assassination and the other was filled with full blind panic.
Before long, the blue haired teen came near the edge of the city, tall buildings separating him and the unknown world. He searched for a way into the city that wouldn't cause any type of unwanted attention and luckily found a crack big enough to fit himself through. Adjusting his teacher in his hands, Nagisa wiggled through and almost stumbled face first but straightened himself at the last second, allowing himself a sigh of relief.
Taking a deep breath, Nagisa peeked out of the alleyway, stopping short when he finally took in his surroundings. His eyes widen on how grand the city was from the inside but what really caught his eyes were the carefree civilians.. civilians that appeared more humanoid than what he's use to and it slightly put Nagisa on edge.
"Wh-What is this place..?" Nagisa whispered lowly, inching back into the alleyway while unconsciously tightening his hold on Koro-sensei as a sort of leverage. Glancing down, he noticed his teacher had a thoughtful expression.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Though with all those colorful humans with different and abnormal attributes, it appears as if my persona wouldn't be one to draw a crowd." Something about his tone made Nagisa shiver. Most likely he was planning something.
Before Nagisa could comment on the strange behavior, a loud explosion was heard a few blocks away, startling him into dropping Koro-sensei who gave a startled 'ouch!'.
"S-Sorry, Koro-sensei!" Nagisa quickly scooped his teacher in his arms, eyeing the smoke caused by the unknown explosion in unease, he turned to go the opposite direction but as soon as he stepped out of the alleyway, a mob of people came rushing forward, actually going towards the area and dragging a startled Nagisa with them.
The push and shoving of the crowd almost made him lose his grip on his giggling teacher. It continued for a while until another force pushed the crowd from continuing, glancing back, Nagisa took note of the uniform clad wearing people and assumed they were this world's police officers.
They were keeping the crowd from advancing forward, and behind them was something Nagisa was not expecting.
It was a man covered head to toe in flames. He appeared to be shooting it out in every direction, flailing wildly and screaming at the top of his lungs. The show of power was awe inspiring, more so to Nagisa than the now very nervous teacher in his hands.
"Where's your Heroes now!? Huh!?" The half naked man cackled madly, shooting a fireball towards a side building a few feet away from the gathered crowds location.
'Heroes?'
Watching the building collapse was surreal to say the least, smoke began to cloud everyones vision but it seemed to have only encouraged the crowd closer.
It was frightening.
Before that fear could form into full blown panic, a sudden gust of wind came from out of nowhere and flicked the flames away. The crowd began to cheer gleefully, unpreturbed by the clearly dangerous situation before them and all began to chant.
"All Might! All Might!"
Nagisa snapped his gaze upwards when Koro-sensei did the same, his eyes glowed in awe when a large figure came crashing down, creating a crater between the crowd and destructive man.
Once the smoke and debris cleared, Nagisa can finally see who was behind it and the name All Might. The tall and bulky figure of a blonde man in a colourful body suit stood before them all in an imposing manner, hands on his hips and a wide grin filled with confidence.
Now, Nagisa loved comics and anything pertaining superheroes and this guy, this blonde bunny haired buff macho man, radiated that familiar glow he used to always feel when he read comics as a kid.
A true hero was standing before him.
"Never fear! For I am here!" Even his booming voice and catchphrase sent Nagisa in a fit of giddiness but that feeling disappeared when all of a sudden the man tightened his fist and sent a powerful punch towards the now quivering madman.
And the madman fell.
Nagisa and Koro-sensei all but gawked.
This 'All Might' had punched so hard that it knocked the madman out cold and seemed to have brought a tornado into existence.
They both thought the same thing.
'We're... at a disadvantage..'
All Might turned towards the civilians and gave a small salute, his large grin seeming to grow when the crowd grew louder in their cheering.
He truly was a superhero.
Did that mean this world was riddled with Heroes? Was that rampant man this world's typical villain? Was there a certain attribute one must have to be qualified as a hero? What would happen to him and Koro-sensei if they were labeled as the oddity in this surreal world?
Nagisa was beginning to feel nervous, he began to inch his way back and away from the crowd but couldn't help but take a last glance at the scene. His whole body froze when he accidentally connected eyes with the grinning blonde.
Fear took over his body when he noticed the man take in his appearance, Nagisa couldn't help but quickly hide Koro-sensei but knew the other took notice of him considering the way he tilted his head and leaned to the side to get a better look.
Crap.
If the guy was indeed a Hero of sorts then he would be familiar with practically all the faces in his city and seeing an unknown blue haired kid with a grinning yellow head in his arms was something that would easily catch their notice and raise suspicion.
His heart began to beat erratically when the man began to make his way towards the two.
He felt scared.
He breathed a sigh of relief when the crowd got too out of control and began to surround the hero. Said hero didn't seem to remember about the crowd and began to nervously sweat and grimace from the onslaught of praise and awe, trying to make his way past to no avail.
"Nagisa, I think it best to return for now." Koro-sensei must have seen the brief contact, dragging his students attention from the hero and unto himself in hopes of calming his loud erratic heartbeat. Nagisa blinked, nodding and shuffling past the remaining crowd and began to walk away from the scene, sweat beginning to run down his neck when he still felt eyes on the back of his head.
After being a few buildings away from the scene, Koro-sensei turned and looked up at his nervous looking student.
"Tell me Nagisa, what is it that you were able to gather from that brief encounter with something so extraordinary?" The question was soft spoken, something unexpected but appreciated as it helped the teen shake out of his mild panic.
"...This place is completely different from our home."
"Oh? How so?" The teacher probed curiously. Nagisa glanced down with brows furrowed, mulling over the scene in his head.
"People here either have abilities or only a select few do.. They could possibly be all different from one another.. Judging by some of the civilians appearance, its safe to assume some of those abilities may affect ones person.." Nagisa muttered, theories running rampant in his mind.
"Plus, that guy with the fire ability seemed to fall under the category of 'bad guy' while the other was the sort of stereotypical 'Hero' with the way he put the civilians at ease first then dealt with the bad guy with some sort of flashy move. Plus, the way the crowd of civilians kept cheering for him was a clear sign he was quite popular.. Honestly, it was incredible his mere presence seemed to give, add to that the raw power he-"
Nagisa knew he was descending into a tangent, his love for this type of thing clearly on display and it took the mischievous laugh of his teacher to break him out of it. The blunette couldn't help the growing blush of mortification from spreading.
"A-Anyway, it looks like 'Heroes' are considered the second authority in this world along side regular police officers." Koro-sensei's grin seemed to grow even more when he turned back around, a string of high pitched giggles escaping him as his pigment changed to one of mischief.
"Those are some very insightful assumptions, Nagisa! I dare say, this world is spectacularly interesting! Humans with abilities that surpass my wildest expectation! I do wonder how they will react when their moon has a makeover!" Now he knew what his teacher was planning and the revelation simply made the bluenette groan.
Nagisa shook his head, taking note how some of the buildings looked much more familiar and caught sight of the alleyway he entered from a few ways away, the giggling octopus head in his hands did help quite a bit in lifting his mood and distracting his mind from running wild with worries and concerns.
"Please try not to destroy this world's moon, sensei.." Nagisa stated simply, glad the other stayed quiet on the remark, hopefully it meant he would take the request into consideration. It made him wonder, however, is there someone out there in this strange and new world that comes close to Koro-sensei's power? Or were there people more powerful? Was there a limit?
Through his musings, he failed to notice the approaching figure of a lanky blonde who stopped short just a few feet away, sunken eyes widening in shock and a trickle of blood running down his lips on the remark.
Said man didn't snap out of his stupor quick enough and immediately lost sight of the blue haired teen. Internally cursing himself, he hesitantly began to walk away, curiosity filled his being on the strange kid and face he seemed to cradle in his arms as if it was a fragile piece of glass. But what really caught his eye and concern was the slightly concealed knife and gun the kid had on his hip.
He needed to speak to someone about this.
