Episode 4: committable mistakes
Every now and then he'd think about his life
Daydreamin' just to pass the time
Now the sun is closer than it was before
Anyone who's anyone can feel it
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
It was unbelievable, nearly awkward. Everyone in the E-class knew it right from the start: their new teacher wasn't only a teacher. She overdid it totally. Koro-sensei was the only one who was completely blinded by her. For Nagisa, it was clear. The government sent another assassin. After introducing her, the whole class felt disappointed. Everyone was worried if the new teacher could steal their job and kill Koro-sensei.
The lesson was over, and all the students went outside during their break. Nagisa was on his way to the glade where he usually meets with Kayano and Sugino, but got stopped by Karma. He seemed a little embarrassed while he asked the blue-haired boy if he could join him for lunch break. So they went together through the woods until they reached Nagisa's friends. They didn't say anything about Karma, still they looked at Nagisa trying to ask him silently why he brought Karma with him. Nagisa ignored them and asked "So, what do you think about our new teacher?" "I don't think she's just a teacher", Sugino answered. Kayano nodded in agreement, and karma did the same. "She's overdoing it totally", Kayano added. "Yeah, I mean she's only concentrated on Koro-sensei and ignores us, her students, like we aren't even here, right?", Karma asked. While Kayano stayed silent, Sugino agreed with a loud laugh. Their break was over too soon, and the four went back to the building. Nagisa observed the group. He felt like the others didn't really like Karma, or just didn't include him in their conversations. But probably that was only because they didn't know Karma that well yet.
During their sports lesson, their new teacher managed to get rid of Koro-sensei in order to talk to them. She admitted that she was a professional assassin who just cared about killing Koro-sensei and not about actually teaching her students. Bragging about her experience she thought that everyone else was useless and that the job could be done very easily. While trying to look like she was better than anyone, she even kissed Nagisa trying to impress the class with her different techniques. Nagisa felt very embarrassed. The laughing of his classmate didn't help. In his despair his eyes were looking for Karma, finding him in the middle of the group. With a weird expression in his eyes, the redhead smiled at Nagisa, trying not to laugh too hard.
In their next break, Karma walked over to Nagisa, Kayano, Sugino and Yuzuki. He wanted to ask Nagisa if he liked to go eat after school again, but got interrupted by their new teacher. She actually excused for her behavior, but still got another "nice" nickname: bitch-sensei. Whoever came up with this name was called a real genius, because they kept calling her bitch-sensei from than on. Her lesson still got very interesting, even though what she was teaching surely wasn't planned by another teacher.
Even as a child everyone would say
He was gonna be a star someday
Finally he found a way to reach the sky
But he didn't know what he'd find
Karma nearly missed Nagisa after school ended, but caught him at last. "Hey Nagisa-kun, why the hurry?", he asked him. "My mum wasn't that happy that I was late yesterday without telling her a few days before", Nagisa admitted. Karma bit his lip. It was his fault Nagisa was late yesterday. He didn't mean to get him in trouble. Nagisa noticed the worry on Karma's face. "It's…it's not your fault, Karma-kun", he told him quietly. Karma dint know what to answer. They both know the truth. So he decided to change the subject. "Tell me, Nagisa-kun, how was it with bitch-sensei?", he asked with a daring smile. Nagisa's face turned red within a second. "weird", he answered, trying not to seem too shy. Karma leaned over toward Nagisa a little. "What a coincidence I'm into weird stuff", he mentioned. Nagisa tried not to burst into laughing. "Yeah, tell her that, Karma-kun", he said grinning. "Yeah, still I think I leave that to Okajima", Karma added with a smile. After a few moments of silence Karma suggested heading to the train station. "I don't want you to be late again, Nagisa-kun", he stated with a soft voice. Nagisa nodded, and they both went down the hills.
While they were on the train, Karma tried to avoid his guilty conscience. He knew Nagisa's mother, and how horrible she was able to be. He was amazed that Nagisa managed to remain so kind and friendly, regarding what influenced him. They were just about to arrive at Nagisa's station when the blue-haired boy caught Karma's attention. "Hey Karma-kun? Just text me if you want me to send you the stuff we've been doing lately in school" he told him. "That would be great, Nagisa-kun. Thank you", Karma responded. "No problem", Nagisa smiled back at the redhead. "And Karma? It's really great that you're back again."
