Guest: Hey, thanks for your help, At the moment I'm sorta just doing it on my own (Yes Rustyspork, I'm taking to you) so Thanks for your help, I'll try to be better about spelling and corrections. Also the explanations are going to be explained later on (if you're taking about the Assassins one, if not, I'll see what I can do)
A/N: Just a note, the most recent chapter of Magi, yeah I reject you Hakuryuu. Ya can't just kill KOUEN! (And i swear to kami Kouen, that final act using your dijnn, whyyy?)
Ah anyways, here's the chapter.
Karasuma blinked as Yunan and Kouha walked off, Kouha explaining something in great detail with hand motions and an excited look in his eyes as they walked towards where Mū was doing something, he looked like he was just punching and kicking the air in front of him as the white haired and black haired teachers continued to talk.
"Wait, why didn't Yunan have anyone second in command?" Karasuma asked Ja'far. He sighed in return, looking at the said blonde-haired man with a sad look.
"That's because he's the only one left in the North Rift Fraction."
"What?" Karasuma asked, shock evident in his voice as Ja'far shifted. It was a small movement, but Nagisa ducked, just in time too, seeing how an anti-sensei knife flew through the air and lodged itself in the building wall behind him.
'If that had hit me-' Nagisa gulped as Ja'far turned in his direction, the same smile on his face as before, but it was colder, more dangerous, 'It would've hurt, a lot. Just who are these people?' the boy thought, standing and shifting nervously under the hard gaze of Karasuma-sensei and the dangerous smile of Ja'far.
"Nagisa-kun, huh? I would've thought it was one of the snipers or even Karma, not you." Ja'far said, calmly watching him. Kouha and the others looked over, their facial expressions no different than before.
"Well, he might as well come down, we can decide what to do with him then." Mū said, lowering his arm from where it had been in mid punch. Nagisa gulped.
'Mū is really strong and pretty fast, Sham-Lash-sensei just threw a knife that wasn't supposed to be able to hurt humans into a wooden wall, lodging it there, Kouha stated that he had needed to be restrained at times. Hopefully Yunan is a bit more sane then these guys, but then again,' he thought as he walked down the stairs, 'They could be here to help, Sham-Lash-sensei mentioned a "target" that they were chosen for to go after, Koro-sensei maybe?' he looked up at the two teachers as he walked over. He glanced at Kouha and the two who were with him, Kouha and Mū were watching him while Yunan was detracted by a bird that had landed on his finger.
Silence passed between them before Ja'far spoke up, "So, you heard." It wasn't much of a question, but a statement towards the Junior High school student, but the single statement was enough to send chills down his spine.
"I-" He tried to quickly think of an excuse before hanging his head, "Yeah." Ja'far sighed, moving his hands from his sleeves and motioning for his three comrades over from where they had been a ways away.
"Well, it isn't a big deal, is it, Ja'far?" Kouha asked, his hands back to being clasped behind his head as he walked over.
Ja'afr put his hands back into his sleeves, "No, but he can't tell anyone else, Karasuma isn't, not even that language teacher of yours knows yet, boy." Nagisa nodded,
"Of course, but in exchange, I was hoping to know who you all are? Are you pro assassins?"
The four of them looked at one another, before Mū sighed, rubbing the back of his head, "Well, not quite. You see, 'Assassins' are only a small group of killers within the larger world of killers, so to speak. There are other types of killers who can be trained and hired who wouldn't be considered 'assassins' yet they could be. For example, hired snipers. While the term 'assassin' could be used, the correct term would still be 'sniper' for them. Basically, it's what Kouha had said earlier. The term 'assassins' is quite broad, the actual 'class' is not."
Kouha nodded, "Kinda like a video game, just more complex because the 'classes' aren't as distinguishable, after all, not a whole lot of people use lances and maces now, do they?" he grinned, "But still, we're pros at what we do, though if you want to call us assassins feel free to, just keep quiet about this whole thing, m'kay?"
Nagisa nodded as he tried to wrap his head around it, 'So they are assassins, but they aren't?'
"If you're confused, don't be, you'll understand later on, if we end up fighting him." Kouha told him, stretching his arms out above his head. Nagisa nodded, uncertain still, but choosing to go with what the foreign boy had said anyways.
Ja'far returned his hands to his sleeves, his black eyes staring into Nagisa's own blue orbs for a moment longer before they appeared to flash gray and his pupils had turned into snake-like slits for a moment before they returned to normal. The boy blinked, had he imagined it?
The white haired man sighed before turning and walking passed him and Karasuma.
"Well, thank you for giving Kouha pointers, Karasuma-san. Until tomorrow." He said, walking away. Karasuma nodded as the others followed him, Kouha twirling the anti-sensei knife in between his fingers as they walked. The bird on Yunan's finger flew off into the sky as the green-clad man walked off. Mū bid the two farewell before jogging after the three, catching up to them in a few long strides.
The next day, both Mū and Yunan weren't at school.
"Hey, Kouha, where's that blonde guy and the red head who are always with you?" Karma asked him as they worked on the Home Ecc. Assignment. Kouha brushed his hair out of his face before looking over at the other boy.
"Yunan and Mū?" he asked, setting down a measuring cup, "Well, there are things that need to be done back at the apartment, you know since we just moved in, Mū is unpacking a bunch of our stuff and Yunan is probably helping, that or he's out buying groceries."
Karma nodded, "I see..." he nodded, picking up a knife and moving to the cutting board to cut up the Benishoga for the assignment. The two boys lapsed into silence as they worked, Kouha watching the pot while Karma chopped the ginger before Koro-sensei mad his way over to them.
Nagisa looked up, remembering the conversation the previous day that he had with the four foreigners.
'Assassins but not... I wonder if Kouha will strike… He seems like he would now that the other two aren't here to stop him, Sham-Lash-sensei isn't in the room either, so he only has the other students here to stop him, though, from what I saw yesterday, he fights with longer blades, but would those even work on Koro-sensei? Regular weapons don't do anything to him...' he thought, watching them, Kouha made no movement towards the octopus-like teacher, keeping his focus on his work.
'Kouha, just what are you planning?' Nagisa thought, narrowing his eyes, 'Maybe he isn't at all like Karma or Ritsu, they attacked on their first day...'
Kouha moved, "Koro-sensei, is this right?" he asked him, handing him a ball of Takoyaki. Koro-sensei took it before popping it into his mouth.
'Now?' Nagisa thought as Kouha's hand slipped into his pocket.
The boy in question looked up as Koro-sensei started to speak to him, "Quite good, Kouha, though, there's a bit too much ginger, cut the Benishoga in smaller pieces and use less, about a table spoon or less." he said to him. Kouha nodded, before pulling his hand out of his pocket.
Nagisa held his breath, only, Kouha didn't pull a knife out.
Instead, Kouha pulled out a pen, jotting down what he had been told before going back to work. The blue haired student let out the breath he was holding, looking back down to his own work.
'I need to calm down', he thought, 'Don't get paranoid, after all, Ritsu was a professionally made assassin and she couldn't kill Koro-sensei, just because these guys are pros, it doesn't mean that they will kill him before all of us can.'
Notes:
For anyone who doesn't know, Junior High School in Japan is grades seven through nine, while elementary is one though nine, High School is ten though twelve. So basically, Nagisa and his classmates are around 14-15 years old (and like I had said before, I know Kouha is like 18 but he was the only character from the Kou empire who I could think of who would fit).
Also, I, for one, felt like Kouha would play video games in the modern world, just 'cause.
Words:
Benishoga- Pickled Red Ginger
Takoyaki- Octopus balls
A/N:
An abrupt ending, I know, sorry about that. I'm debating some things and stuff (Most specific ever)
